Chapter 912: Hatching the Huge Egg (1/2)

“Are you sure that it’ll hatch?” Dong Li asked with a doubtful tone.

The life force she sensed from the huge black egg was so weak that it was as if it could die out at any moment.

As far as she saw it, whatever was in this huge egg was on the verge of dying. There was no way that it would ever hatch.

Nie Tian smiled. “I said it’ll hatch, so it’ll hatch.”

At this moment, Zong Zheng from the Ice Pavilion Sect flew over and landed in front of them.

Delight filled his eyes as he exclaimed, “Nie Tian! It’s good that you’re back safely! Soon after our return, we came back here to teleport to the Realm of Maelstrom to fight alongside you, but we couldn’t get that teleportation portal working.”

Nie Tian nodded. “I know. Senior martial sister Pei made adjustments so that we would only be able to come home, but not return to the Realm of Maelstrom again. She didn’t want us to be involved in the turmoils in the Domain of Heaven Python. Senior Zong, if the other experts also come here, please tell them to guard this teleportation portal with you. If any outsiders come through it, slay them and destroy the portal without hesitation.”

Zong Zheng pondered briefly, and realized what he meant. “Are you worried that outsiders may come through this teleportation portal and plunge the Domain of the Falling Stars into turmoil too?”

“Yes,” Nie Tian answered. “Also, if Uncle Hua comes, please tell him to wait here. I’ll be back soon to take him to the Realm of Shattered Earth. There’s an ancient plant that’s enormous beyond words in the Realm of Shattered Earth. It vested Mu Biqiong from the Bliss Mountain Sect with some of its power. And the coexisting flowers inside of her entered a period of rapid growth.

“Uncle Hua’s Heavenly Demonsbane was badly injured in the Shatter Battlefield. Even with the help of those berries that contain life power, it’ll be very difficult for it to recover completely.

“But I believe the power of that enormous plant will help the Heavenly Demonsbane recover within a short period of time.”

Zong Zheng’s expression flickered slightly as he said, “Okay, I will.”

“Alright, I need to take Dong Li into the palace first. There’s something I need to help her with.” With these words, Nie Tian took Dong Li’s hand naturally and walked towards the palace gate.

A sweet smile appeared at the corner of Dong Li’s mouth as she saw him taking her hand squarely in front of Zong Zheng.

CREEN!

The huge stone gate opened as Nie Tian circulated star power with the help of the three fragmentary star marks on his chest.

After the two of them went in, the stone gate closed again.

The pitch-black egg that was about two meters tall was then placed in the hall in front of Nie Tian and Dong Li.

However, instead of examining the huge egg, Dong Li threw her arms around Nie Tian as soon as the stone gate shut. In a soft voice, she said, “I was so worried about you when you were in the Shatter Battlefield. While you were gone, I’d think about you whenever I wasn’t practicing cultivation, fearing that something terrible would happen to you.”

Now that no one was around, Dong Li revealed her true feelings as she hugged and kissed Nie Tian.

Nie Tian also responded passionately.

As their breaths grew increasing rapid, Dong Li suddenly pushed Nie Tian away and said with flushed cheeks, “Umm, why don’t we take care of business first?”

Brow furrowed, Nie Tian took a deep look at her and said, “You kissed me and got me burning with desire, and now you’re backing off?”

With a chuckle, Dong Li said, “Be patient. We’ll have plenty of time for that later.

“As you know, I spent a long time in the Beast-controlling Sect. I learned many of their secret magics, but failed to find a spirit beast that suits my needs.

“None of the spirit beasts they found for me possessed dark power, so they didn’t match my incantations and cultivation attribute.

“I asked them to find me a spirit beast that was born with a dark power bloodline, like the black phoenix. However, ancient spirit beasts like the black phoenix are so rare that even the Beast-controlling Sect couldn’t find one.

“So, instead of taking one of the spirit beasts the Beast-controlling Sect found for me, I’d rather not have one for now.

“I can feel that this huge black egg contains dark power. If it can actually hatch, it’ll be very helpful to the Beast-controlling Sect incantations I practice, and my advances in cultivation. “

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure it hatches!” Nie Tian said with great determination.

Then, he separated three drops of Blood Essence from his heart, each of which looked like a blood diamond.

Shining with blood-colored light, they carried the profound truths of life power.

DRIP!

One of them dropped on the huge egg’s solid exterior.

Its hard shell instantly became soft and resilient.

The drop of Blood Essence then rapidly infiltrated it.

BOOM!

Faint blood-colored light suddenly burst forth from within the huge black egg, as if its originally weak life force was ignited by the drop of Blood Essence, and was now growing at an alarming rate.

The unhatched life within the huge egg greedily absorbed the Blood Essence, and used the rich life power it provided to strengthen itself.

DRIP! DRIP!
