The white spherical object was glowing softly, extremely beautiful. It was as if there were two moons in the sky, sprinkling their glows down on earth at the same time.

It was an egg, one that nurtured naturally born spiritual beings, the holy air of which told of its inviolability.

Groups of demonic wolves stopped at the end of the valley and howled. They seemed to fear the place and were too afraid to come close as if this was the dividing line between two worlds.

“Ancient record shows there was a naturally born divine beast, conceived by the Essence of heaven and earth. The newborn is extremely strong, unmatched by any humans. When they grow up, they become a god-like, terrifying existence.”

Han Tian recalled an ancient story. There used to be an almost god-like, naturally born divine beast that had unified the Samsara Continent and left behind a glorious history.

In that era, divine beasts were the overlords, while humans were the slaves, becoming food with no chance of escape. They were living in fear. This dark period was rarely mentioned in history. But the Yan Clan as the top clan in Greendragon had preserved some bits and pieces of this history.

One day, a human teenager finally rose. He went alone to various places, killing the beasts single-handedly. All vicious beasts quaked in their boots at the mention of this teenager. When he finally grew up, he took on the naturally born divine beast. That battle was the most epic of all battles. It shocked the world with the world plunged into great suffering, and the continent broke apart into many pieces.

At last, he killed the divine beast, then using all the magic power he had, he joined the broken continent together, and he died in the process.

A few hundred years passed, and humans grew stronger and rose to the top of the food chain. They ruled the continent with the vicious beast kowtowing to them. Later, people exalted him as Divine-slayer Emperor to commemorate his glorious past.

“I have no idea what this divine beast is going to look like, but it mustn’t be allowed to come to this world. Or else, the world will surely plunge back into chaos.” Han Tian was worried about the appearance of this egg. He did not know what it would augur. Probably it was a warning to the humans that the beasts were rising soon.

The three of them walked past slowly. This strange thing had left the humans with an indelible trauma. So they could not have been too careful.

Little Tian’s eyes were glowing like a pair of moons. It was anticipatory. But knowing the importance of the thing, it did not get too impatient.

Arh-woooo!

The wolf pack was howling behind them as if they were angry, or gloating. When they glanced at the white egg, there was only fear and reverence in their eyes. They then dispersed, devoured the bodies of their own kind, and cleaned up the battle scene.

Demonic wolves were highly reproductive. Such a casualty was nothing for them. Their number would grow back to what it was in two years.

They were a type of extremely vicious beast. They fed on the bodies of their peers to strengthen themselves.

The entire valley returned to normal. The land became even quieter than before. It seemed there was no imminent danger, but the three of them were very careful with every step they took, cold sweat trickling down their forehead. They felt an invisible mountain crushing on them as they came closer. Their breathing and their steps were heavy.

“Damn it! I hate this kind of atmosphere.” Han Tian’s face flushed. A golden glow surrounded him, but he could not drive away that oppressive feeling. He was getting upset.

The two Divine Herbs swayed in the wind, their translucent glow told of their incredible spirituality, their scent refreshing and soothing.

“It is totally worth the trouble. Little Thing, you get the egg while Wutian and I will pluck the Divine herbs. After consuming them, we are going to achieve a new height in your cultivation.” Han Tian’s eye lit up as he drooled.

“This place looks strange. Since the naturally born divine beast is so important, it will not be alone. There probably are some vicious beasts guarding it.”

The three got closer and closer. About a hundred feet from the white egg, they felt the pressure become even more unbearable as if a big hand was pressing down on them. Their bodies felt heavy and clumsy and blood Qi surging inside their bodies.

Boom!

Before his voice trailed off, the ground below the white egg suddenly burst open. Violent winds blew and debris flew around. A massive creature was born, and the air was filled with heinous energy.

Their expressions changed, and they stumbled backward. This kind of energy was making them quake in their boots. They could not help but stumbled backward for a hundred feet before they finally halted the momentum and stood firm.

When Han Tian looked up, he got the shock of his life.

“Fire Scorpion!”

It was a giant scorpion, capable of growing to about thirty feet long, body red as fire. An unusual heatwave was permeating the air.

It was extremely vicious with flames dancing on its body. It had ten sharp claws on its belly, arranged side-by-side in two rows. The claws were two-meter-long and glinting in bloody light in the moonlight.

Its narrow tail was twenty feet long with a black light shimmering on the tip, extremely terrifying. There was also a corrosive smell drifting in the air. It was the vapor from its poison, which could eat into flesh and bone, turning them into liquid.

“It is a remnant from the ancient time guarding this place for generations. This thing is nasty.” Han Tian frowned big time as he knew how terrifying the poisonous scorpion was.

“I have probably figured out what is inside the white egg. It could be an ancient scorpion undergoing metamorphosis here,” said Wutian.
