Master Lion must have known something. Seeing the nervous look on Master Lion’s face, Ye Chen did not hesitate. He swung the Storm Sword and slashed the golden eggs.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

Every golden egg was smashed by Ye Chen and the fluid inside flowed out.

Finally, these few dozen golden eggs had been smashed to pieces by Ye Chen.

“Master Lion, what are these golden eggs?” Ye Chen asked. The golden eggs looked like they were still a long way from hatching.

“When this Soul Pagoda opened and so many treasures appeared out of a sudden, I knew that something was not right. The appearance of these golden eggs confirms my speculation. If these golden eggs were to hatch, it’d grow into a special type of Spirit Beast and a catastrophe would ensue. Don’t even think that you can control a Spirit Beast. Spirit Beasts and mystical beasts are different. Spirit Beasts like to hunt and kill humans, Celestial Beasts, and mystical beasts. Generally, they can survive on a diet of plants, tree bark, and also mineral rocks yet their favorite food is the soul of humans, Celestial Beasts, and mystical beasts! Swallowing a soul allows them to evolve and become more powerful. When they go berserk, they wouldn’t care less whether or not you’re their master,” Master Lion explained with some trepidation.

Ye Chen nodded. He recalled that the Spirit Beasts had a Tianyuan ancient coin nestled inside their heads. Were these Spirit Beasts created by the people of Tianyuan Ancient City? Why did they create so many Spirit Beasts?

Looking at the smashed golden eggs, Ye Chen could not help but smile bitterly. He initially thought that the golden eggs were some treasure. Since the golden eggs were not treasure, then he would check out the purple light buried under the ground.

Ye Chen flew ahead.

At the same time, about fifty kilometers away from Ye Chen, a fierce battle was taking place.

A group of sixty over Mystique Rank masters were frantically slaying a swarm of mantis Spirit Beasts. Out of these sixty over Mystique Rank masters, there were some from the Temple of War, some from the Tribunal Council, and some from the bloodlines of ancient Beast Clans. All of them looked at the nest of golden eggs below with shining greed.

This nest of golden eggs looked like a great treasure in their eyes. They would not allow it to fall into someone else’s hands!

“Hurry up and grab those eggs!”

“Stop them!”

The group of them were snatching the golden eggs as they were killing the mantis Spirit Beasts. It was utter chaos.

“Got one!”

“I got one too!”

“Let’s go!”

Over twenty golden eggs were snatched up. As soon as they grabbed the eggs, they flew into the air.

A Mystique Adept master from the ancient Black Fire Leopard bloodline wrapped the egg inside a cloth and flew away with a few of his clansmen. He shifted into human form. He had dark skin. While he was not as tall as those from the Thunder Beast Clan, he had firm muscles and looked very strong. Their bodies were covered with black stripes. This was a unique trait of the Black Fire Leopard Clan.

The man was extremely curious about the golden egg in his arms, so he opened the outer cloth slightly and peeked inside. He saw the strange runic pattern on the golden egg and was puzzled. These runes seemed to contain a mysterious power. As he stared at the runic seal, he felt like the runes on the golden egg were twisting.

What was happening? The man looked at the runes, no longer able to shift his eyes away. The runes appeared to contain a strange sucking force as if it was trying to suck in his Psyche.

An idea formed in the man’s head. He would use his Psyche to investigate what was inside this golden egg. Thus, he extended his Psyche into the egg. Suddenly, he let out an ear splitting cry and his entire body plunged toward the ground.

“What’s happening?” The man’s clansmen, upon seeing what had happened, quickly caught him and the golden egg. However, the man was already unconscious and his Psyche was inexplicably weak. He was on the brink of death.

They exchanged a look. Carefully, they rewrapped the cloth around the golden egg and headed for the way they came from.

“Send this golden egg back first!”

“Let’s go!”

Ye Chen landed on a shallow slope and probed with his Astral Body. He found that the purple light inside the ground did not dim at all. So, he began to dig on the side of the small hill. When he dug up a big hole, a purple armor came into view. He wiped off the dirt on its surface and the purple armor shined brilliantly.

The purple armor consisted only of a breastplate, just enough to protect the chest. It seemed to be made out of some sort of gemstone. The entire armor was covered with mysterious line patterns. Light traveled across it, causing the armor to flash continuously.

“It’s the Purple Demon Armor. Although it’s incomplete, there’s only the breastplate but the value of this breastplate is no less than the Storm Sword in your hand!” Master Lion said in astonishment.

“Purple Demon Armor. Just one breastplate is equivalent to the Storm Sword, is this thing so valuable?”
