CHAPTER 890: CHAPTER 636: HALF-STEP TO IMMORTALITY! (PART 2)

"In any case, I need to kill a few more, these three are mine. I will use extremely cruel methods to torture them to death. The potential of humans is vast; torturing one human as a sacrifice is equivalent to torturing dozens of Yi Tribespeople."

Wu Bayi refocused his gaze on the three humans, becoming more satisfied with them the longer he looked. The potential of the six wings was worth him taking action personally.

Celestial maiden Guanghui naturally couldn’t agree more. She sneered internally; even though Wu Bayi hadn’t discovered Xiang Beifei, killing these three first was enough to vent her anger!

"Truly troublesome."

Xiang Beifei contemplated how to deal with Wu Bayi. After being sacrificed to become a yellow spring monster, one typically retains their formidable cultivation—meaning the old Clan Leader of the Panjiao Race was now a terrifying force!

Regardless of how he attacked, the chances of resolving this creature were slim. Even relying on the Candle Dragon’s eye was unrealistic; although it could interfere with all practitioners’ Perception, Wu Bayi could still defend himself, making it difficult for Xiang Beifei to break through this defense.

A different method must be devised!

——

Meanwhile, Wu Bayi waved his hand, and several cruel instruments of torture emerged from the blood pool.

"So should I cook them slowly piece by piece, or chop them up?"

Wu Bayi mused aloud; even when speaking of murder, his tone seemed so amiable.

Yet in Uncle Liang and the others’ ears, this sound was spine-chilling.

Their hearts were in their throats; if Wu Bayi intended to kill them, what could they do?

They now had a slight understanding of the power levels of practitioners. Xiang Beifei had mentioned last time that some powerful Meat-Winged Monsters were indeed god-level; considering this creature had one foot already in the Immortal Realm, wouldn’t his strength be that of a Demigod?

"Can Beifei even handle someone of this strength?"

Uncle Liang was deeply unsettled but constantly reminded himself: "I must not give myself away! Even if I die, I cannot betray Beifei."

Jiang Shan and Jiang Feng felt the same, pretending to be confused, striving to remain calm. They had chosen to cooperate with Xiang Beifei on this journey, fully prepared to face death. As long as they could delay and rescue the Jiuzhou elders whom they betrayed ten years ago, it would count as atonement.

As Wu Bayi’s instruments of torture neared the trio, Xiang Beifei knew he couldn’t directly confront this creature now and had to divert its attention.

He could use the cover of the Candle Dragon’s eye to take Uncle Liang and the others away, but doing so would certainly alert the opposition, and rescuing Helian Zheng later would become impossible.

Turning his gaze to the eggs, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. He silently moved an egg he had previously prepared into one of the blood pools.

This was a twelve-winged egg!

And it was a mature twelve-winged egg!

In Changpan Valley, a single twelve-winged divine egg was enough to make celestial maiden Guanghui lose her composure, kneeling and unable to move. This indicated that for the Meat-Winged Monsters, their bloodline suppression was severe.

Although uncertain whether it would work on Wu Bayi, it was worth a try now.

Xiang Beifei had crafted several twelve-winged divine eggs long ago, waiting for this moment to use them.

Buzz!

A powerful kingly aura soared from the blood pool into the sky! The entire Bone Mountain filled with purple gas, the winds rising and clouds churning, unpredictable, as the divine egg’s mighty pressure spread, golden light flickering continuously.

The eggs in the blood pools on Bone Mountain were all terrified by this kingly aura, trembling involuntarily, with all the pool water even beginning to fizz and pop!

"This is..."

Wu Bayi noticed this powerful aura too, stunned momentarily, turning his head, looking incredulously towards the source!

At the summit of the Bone Mountain, the golden egg hovered in mid-air, majestic and domineering!

"This is a divine egg!"

Wu Bayi’s previously calm face could no longer maintain composure as he cried out in shock!

His reaction wasn’t much better than Guanghui celestial maiden’s initial response—it was evident that the emergence of the twelve-winged divine egg had shocked him too!

"When was there ever a divine egg in the hatching pool?"

Wu Bayi almost lost his composure, not even having the time to torture Uncle Liang and the others, as his eyes were fixed on that divine egg!

Logically, the eggs in the hatching pool are always predetermined; before any human eggshell is brought here for slaughter and hatching, the egg’s quality is tested. Yet, in thousands of years, a divine egg has never appeared. But for some unknown reason, a divine egg had emerged this time!

"Another divine egg! Another divine egg!"

Celestial maiden Guanghui was daunted by this terrifying oppressive aura, involuntarily kneeling towards the divine egg. Even with her orifice transforming strength, the bloodline suppression was too profound.

However, she quickly realized something was amiss!

—Damn it, it’s that human’s trick again!

Now celestial maiden Guanghui was completely disordered. She thought, if this was a divine egg, but she had witnessed Xiang Beifei creating it, which deity’s egg is mass-produced like it’s worthless?

Yet, saying it’s not a divine egg, however, the oppression made her almost unable to lift her head.

—Master! Don’t be deceived! That is not a divine egg!

Celestial maiden Guanghui screamed within, wanting to tell Wu Bayi the truth, but Xiang Beifei had her tightly controlled, leaving her no chance.

Wu Bayi was utterly astonished, although the bloodline of this divine egg suppressed him as well. However, his strength was so powerful that he wasn’t so overwhelmed in front of this divine egg, clearly able to withstand the pressure.

"Twelve-winged divine egg! A twelve-winged divine egg has emerged! When did the humans produce such high talent?" Wu Bayi murmured.

The divine egg flickered with dazzling brilliance in the air, illuminating Wu Bayi’s fair face. He stared at the divine egg for a long time, his gaze growing increasingly suspicious.

Xiang Beifei immediately issued instructions to celestial maiden Guanghui!

Celestial maiden Guanghui struggled to speak, "Mas... Master! A divine egg has appeared here, possibly caused by mutation. Master, what do you think should be done?"

Wu Bayi stared at the divine egg’s oppressive aura, rushed towards the divine egg, scrutinizing it up-close, fully confirming that this indeed was a twelve-winged quality divine egg!

In the future, it had the potential to become the Eternal Night Demon King!

"Mutated divine egg...it turned out to be a mutated divine egg. It seems a new Eternal Night Demon King will be born, after all these years, how I wish I were a twelve-winged back then! Unfortunately, the human eggshell I seized was disappointing."

Envy filled Wu Bayi’s eyes; the potential of twelve wings was much stronger than his eight wings. In the future, by merely normal cultivation, entering the Immortal Realm was a sure thing!

He spent his life cultivating, striving to enter the Immortal Realm, continuously slaughtering different races to leverage their abilities to prove the Dao. But others were born with a golden key, by comparison, making him utterly jealous.

He now started blaming the human livestock on whom he had parasitized for being too useless.

At this time, celestial maiden Guanghui suitably added, "Master, the divine egg’s presence has suppressed all the eggs in the blood pool, those three humans seem to be having issues, feeling out of control."

Uncle Liang and the other two were trembling all over, clutching their wrists, shivering, as if affected by the divine egg’s aura.

Back in Changpan Valley, when the divine egg appeared, Xiang Beifei hadn’t transplanted the moonprint onto them yet, so the divine egg’s pressure was ineffective on them. But now that they had the moonprint, it’s akin to establishing a connection with the Meat-Winged Monster, the divine egg’s oppression could indeed affect them now.

Wu Bayi slightly furrowed his brows.

Celestial maiden Guanghui spoke again, "Master, the divine egg’s appearance was too sudden, every egg here cannot resist the divine egg’s oppression. I cannot bear this pressure, let alone them. Now, if we kill these three, the eggs they produce might not meet expectations. Master, first take a look at the divine egg, I’ll take the three out for now and kill them for you next time, how about that?"

Wu Bayi pondered for a moment, nodding slightly, "Alright, take them out first, keep them alive."

Wu Bayi’s entire focus was on this divine egg, not in the mood to bother with the three humans of merely six-wing quality. Clearly, a twelve-wing potential egg was much more significant than three six-wings, not sparing any thought for the three.

"Understood."

Celestial maiden Guanghui immediately led the three out.

But just then, Wu Bayi suddenly recalled something, shouting, "Wait a minute, I feel something’s not quite right."
