The two of them clambered to their feet, vision blurred, face pale. They were badly injured.
Wutian took out a dozen of Essence elixirs and popped them all into his mouth. The Essence Qi started to circulate and heal his body. He gritted his teeth and went back out; he could not bring himself to leave Little Tian behind.
“Wutian, you…” It struck a chord with Han Tian. After a second of hesitation, he followed Wutian.
Little Tian was still working on the egg, striking with all its might. Before the egg reached the ground, countless fine cracks had formed on the shell. Some essence flew out. It looked translucent and smelled so good. Little Tian would not let it go to waste. As it licked it and sucked everything down into its gut. Its body glowed even more brilliantly.
Boom, boom, boom!
Not far away, the golden word engraving was spinning in the air and glowing brilliantly. The entire place looked as if it was immersed in a golden sea. Divine chains dangled, translucent like divine jades and shrouding the place. Then there was a moment of silence underground.
Roar!
A roar rose as if someone was hitting the heaven drum. Heaven and earth were distorted, mountains shook and broke away with rocks flying around.
A few thousand miles deep inside the earth, magma was surging, something splashing up as high as a few dozen feet high.
It was a sea of fire, inside which lived a massive thing that shimmered in brilliant lights. Beneath the light was a layer of solid hard shell, unharmed, even immersed in the magma.
This thing had ten large, sharp claws that glinted heinously. As the thing moved, the claws scraped off the rocks, which would fall into the magma and become red, molten rock.
Its body was incredibly massive, hideous and vicious, but was bound by countless golden divine chains. These chains were as tough as the divine metal, glowing with divine light. No matter how hard the thing struggled, the divine chains still held it in place securely.
Clunk!
A crisp sound exploded, and the magma surged even more violently, sometimes as high as a few thousand feet. This monster had a tail as thick as a mountain peak. It frantically moved its tail that was held back by the golden divine chains.
The magma was surging, and fire was licking furiously. This giant tail finally broke away from the divine chains and rose straight toward the surface. The earth’s crust broke apart like a layer of tofu.
Amid the brilliant glow, rocks were crumpling and soil flying. A giant tail of a scorpion rapidly moved toward the surface.
“Let me help!”
Wutian took a step and lunged up into the air. Closing his fingers and clenching into a fist, he struck down with a powerful burst of energy. The white egg dropped even faster.
“Me too!”
As Han Tian flew, a current of yellowish air rushed out as he struck down with all this strength.
Wutian was startled. “The Power of Earth?”
“This is not the time to talk, Wutian!” Han Tian forced a smile. There was the golden glow in one fist and yellowish light in the other as he continued to unleash his bombardment.
With the help of the two, Little Tian got an enormous morale boost. They hit the egg furiously and the egg finally fell to the ground with a loud boom. Dust rose in the air, so too the brilliant glow.
“Caw, caw!” Little Tian’s face was flushed. The egg was only the size of a dustpan, yet it weighed an incredible 200,000 pounds.
Boom!
Right then, an earth-shattering sound came from behind them. The crack on the Stele of Spiritual Incarceration grew in the blink of an eye. It broke in half and flung up and away before crashing into a mountain peak.
The engraved text dimmed, and the divine chains broke before turning into golden particles and disappeared completely.
A brilliant divine light burst out of the ground and flung the remaining half of the stele flying away. It hit a mountain peak and cut it in the middle, leaving behind a clean-cut surface. Demonic beasts wailed. One vicious beast the size of a hill could not react in time and was turned into a scum of blood.
Vicious birds frantically flew away as the peak that had been cut away crushed to the earth. Feathers flew as blood mist filled the air. Not one of those birds survived.
Boom, boom!
The earth shook as the giant tail emerged and rose into the clouds. The scales on the tail glinted, glowing in brilliant colors. It appeared as if a beautiful rainbow when looking from a distance. But the faces of Wutian and others turned pale as if they had seen a ghost.
“The Primordial Scorpion!” Han Tian’s voice was shivering, so too his body. Fear filled his eyes.
“Run!”
The three carried the white egg and fled.
The giant tail swept down from heaven and blocked their way. The tip of the tail was glowing like a brilliant little sun, beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
