Xuanwu War Sovereign

Yin and Yang swirled as True Power flooded from his body, forming a barrier before him.

Qin Feng was extremely cautious when it came to Demon God Level existences. Having raided the lairs of countless Demon Gods, he knew that such a being, even in death, could easily plot against and kill a Venerable.

"Something’s not right...!"

But Qin Feng quickly realized something was off. According to his Spiritual Sense, the aura of the Mountain God emanating from the giant egg within the massive Earth Yellow Lotus was terrifying, but it felt like a slumbering tiger.

Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then with light steps, he appeared several dozen feet from the giant egg.

His gaze swept across the area, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Dozens of feet across lay a massive pool.

The pool emanated a faint, cyan spiritual light. Qin Feng’s sharp eyes immediately recognized it as an extremely precious Treasure: Heaven and Earth Spirit Milk.

Ordinary Heaven and Earth Spirit Milk was pure white. The Spirit Milk in this pool, however, gave off a cyan spiritual light, and the liquid itself was as translucent and sparkling as jade.

The concentrated aura of life bloomed with a jade-colored radiance!

Qin Feng glanced around and noticed an Array surrounding the pool. This Array had plundered the vitality of all the Spirit Medicines and Spiritual Roots on the island, funneling it into the pool!

In the center of the pool was a giant, earthen-yellow lotus.

That was an Earth Tier Spiritual Root, an Earth Yellow Lotus. Qin Feng had expended a tremendous amount of effort just to cultivate one the size of a bowl.

This lotus was several hundred times larger than the one Qin Feng had cultivated.

Qin Feng counted the petals of this massive Earth Yellow Lotus. It had a full thirty-three petals. This was an Earth Yellow Lotus that was over one hundred thousand years old.

Qin Feng’s eyes grew bloodshot. One could only imagine the medicinal properties of a Spiritual Root that had grown for over a hundred thousand years.

It was practically a Divine Medicine.

An Ancient Medicine like this was capable of granting something close to immortality!

"What a pity, what a pity!" Qin Feng gritted his teeth in frustration.

At this point, the lotus had already withered, its vitality seemingly plundered by the giant egg it cradled.

The earthen-yellow giant egg was drab and dusty, looking as unremarkable as a Stone Egg.

Qin Feng studied it with his gaze. It stood about ten feet tall, smooth and without any openings. Its surface was covered in strange Runes. He stared at them, examining them closely, but to his astonishment, even with his vast knowledge, he couldn’t make heads or tails of them.

Yet, the giant egg gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

Qin Feng trusted his intuition. It had helped him avoid many unnecessary dangers.

The place where the giant egg rested appeared to be the very center of the floating island. The vitality of all the Spiritual Roots on the island had been completely plundered to become nourishment for this egg.

And that wasn’t all. Qin Feng’s powerful Divine Thought could feel that the earthen-yellow giant egg was constantly devouring the Origin of this Secret Realm.

To be precise, the giant egg was using the entire Secret Realm as its incubator.

’Is it undergoing Nirvana Rebirth, or has it sealed itself to heal?’ Qin Feng’s eyes were fixed on the giant egg. With his vast experience, he had seen many similar situations.

Qin Feng’s Divine Thought swept the area around the giant egg. To his surprise, there were no Prohibitions whatsoever.

’Were the Prohibitions worn away by time, or were they simply devoured by the egg?’

Qin Feng stealthily extended a wisp of his Divine Thought to probe the giant egg. A trace of its aura traveled along the Divine Thought and deep into his soul, imprinting a direct and visceral sense of majesty upon his mind.

Powerful!

Incredibly powerful!

Qin Feng hastily retracted his wisp of Divine Thought, a trace of shock lingering in his eyes.

Before that wisp of aura, Qin Feng felt like an ant. This sense of insignificance sent a chill surging up from the depths of his soul.

When he raised his head to look at the giant egg again, it seemed like a divine mountain that touched the heavens, so immense that he lost the very courage to gaze upon it.

That wisp of aura had unknowingly affected his mind!

Qin Feng quickly steadied his mind, calming his turbulent thoughts. A single thought, sharp as a sword, shattered the feeling of fear and insignificance.

Finally, the feeling passed. Qin Feng raised his head, and the giant egg before him had returned to its original appearance.

Qin Feng realized that after withstanding that shock and fluctuation, his True Soul Body had become purer and more refined. It was as if many of his stray thoughts had melted away, making it easier to comprehend certain Martial Arts Skills and Divine Abilities.

Coming to his senses, he glanced at the Stone Egg, and a sly grin spread across his face. In a flash, he appeared beside it.

Qin Feng was now certain that the Stone Egg was in a deep slumber, just like some Great God from the myths sleeping on Yang Mountain after suffering a grievous injury, or a nascent Spirit Embryo about to be born, fully focused on absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to develop.

’As long as I don’t provoke it, there shouldn’t be any mishaps.’

His gaze fell upon the less-than-half-full pool of cyan Spirit Milk, and a greedy, golden glint appeared in his eyes.

The Spirit Milk in this Spirit Pool was the Essence of Life, condensed from the vitality of the island’s many Spiritual Roots, Spirit Medicines, and even that Divine-level Ancient Earth Tree.

Even a single drop of this Essence of Life could raise the dead and grow flesh on bare bones.

Even the water from the Spring of Life was not as miraculously effective as this pool of Essence of Life.

Glancing at the giant Stone Egg within the lotus, Qin Feng was overcome with an unbearable itch of temptation.

His gaze silently swept over the giant egg as Qin Feng muttered to himself, "It’ll be fine, it should be fine. I’ll just take a little bit, just a little bit is enough! It probably won’t wake up, it probably won’t wake up!"

Licking his dry lips, Qin Feng crept step by step to the edge of the pool. The pool itself was made of something like white jade and was about ten feet deep.

The less-than-half-full pool of jade-like Essence of Life gave off a rich, vital fragrance. Standing at the rim, Qin Feng leaned over it like a puppy, his nose twitching. With just a small sniff, a wisp of incredibly pure Life Essence Qi shot into his body. He instantly felt as if all forty-eight thousand pores of his body were being tapped and massaged by tiny hammers, a sensation so blissful he felt like he could fly.

"Good stuff, this is really good stuff!"

His throat bobbed as he swallowed. He glanced silently at the Stone Egg. Seeing no movement, Qin Feng immediately and stealthily extended a hand, activating his Bone Marrow Extraction and Essence Transformation Technique. A vortex appeared in his palm, acting like a water pump. From the bottom of the pool, streams of the jade-colored liquid Spirit Milk defied gravity, surging upward in a curtain of water to be continuously and silently siphoned away by him.

The moment the cyan Spirit Milk entered his body, Qin Feng’s eyes flew wide open. A cool sensation surged from his palm and spread throughout his entire body. He felt as if he had stepped into a hot spring, and even his soul was ascending.

At that moment, if an outsider had been present, they would have discovered that Qin Feng’s entire body had turned jade-green, like a piece of jadeite. His internal organs, bones, meridians, flesh, skin, and even his hair were all emitting a fragrant, vital aroma.

The next moment, CRACKLE, POP! A thunderous sound of cracking bones and popping sinews erupted from his body.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Strands of Qi Force flowed across his skin, giving off an unparalleled sharpness, like that of a Divine Weapon!

He broke through to the Third Layer of the Eight Desolates Undying Profound Technique in just a matter of minutes.
