Chapter 745: What a Travesty
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Black Spirit Snake released a drop of blood essence and looked down at the phoenix egg as if she had personally laid it. Oh… even though she had never laid an egg before.
Nonetheless, this phoenix egg was extremely precious to her!
The blood essence dripped onto the glowing egg, and Black Spirit Snake’s heart rate accelerated as she looked at the egg with anxiety and antic.i.p.ation.
The blood essence dripped onto the smooth surface of the egg before slowly sliding down and dripping onto the ground.
Black Spirit Snake: “…”
Everyone instantly fell silent.
Black Spirit Snake stared at the scenes unfolding before her with incredulity, and her chest rose and fell as her breathing accelerated.
“Could it be… that I did something wrong?”
She repeated her incantation before releasing another drop of blood essence.
Splat!
The blood essence dripped onto the phoenix egg like a drop of blood splas.h.i.+ng onto a piece of gla.s.s.
The phoenix egg was like an aloof prince who treated all the women who expressed their love to him with disdain before letting them drip down into the abyss of despair.
The blood essence splattered onto the ground again before blossoming like a crimson flower.
Black Spirit Snake’s features paled upon seeing this as her body swayed unsteadily and confusion appeared in her eyes. “How could this be? How could this be… This is impossible… Why would it reject me? It shouldn’t be rejecting me…”
All the Return to Void Stage mighty figures were dumbstruck upon seeing Black Spirit Snake’s failure to subdue the phoenix egg. There were even some who had thought one step ahead and were wondering if this meant that they would have a chance of claiming the phoenix egg for themselves.
Of course, they weren’t going to try and take the egg from Black Spirit Snake as that would be suicide, but it certainly didn’t stop them from fantasizing about it.
A possibility suddenly occurred to Black Spirit Snake, and she unleashed another spell technique as a red light flashed from her fingertips. “Spirit of heaven and earth, trace the bloodline of this egg!”
This was a spell technique to determine if some other bloodline was connected to the phoenix egg.
In other words, it could determine whether the egg had already accepted a master!
Black Spirit Snake placed a slim finger onto the phoenix egg.
Whoos.h.!.+
The phoenix egg trembled for a short while before a golden line appeared from it. The golden line circled through the air before slowly flying toward An Lin, where it finally attached itself to An Lin’s chest.
Everyone fell silent again. This was the type of silence in which even a pin drop could be heard.
Black Spirit Snake opened her mouth as she looked at An Lin, but she felt as if there were some sort of obstruction in her chest, rendering her unable to speak!
She should’ve thought about this possibility a long time ago!
An Lin and Bai Ling had been together for so long, and during that time, Bai Ling definitely would’ve encouraged An Lin to take the egg for himself!
She just didn’t think… that An Lin would actually dare to take the egg!
Everyone was dumbstruck again when they saw the golden line connecting the egg to An Lin’s chest. None of them had expected An Lin to have made a move on the egg already. How bad*ss!
“Hehe, An Lin, I underestimated you…” Black Spirit Snake’s shoulders trembled as her hands balled into fists. It was quite clear that her rage was at a boiling point.
She had spent a lot of time and energy in this world, all for this phoenix egg.
However, not only had she given away her control over this world to another person, even the phoenix egg had fallen into someone else’s hands. Her efforts were all in vain, and she had nothing left. How could she not be enraged?!
“Calm down, Black Spirit Snake! I’ll give the egg to you!” An Lin immediately waved his hands in panic.
Black Spirit Snake chuckled coldly. “You want to placate me with words? Once a bloodline connection has been forged, not even Her Majesty Nuwa would be able to forcefully sever it and force the egg to accept another master. Your word will only make me more resentful toward you!”
An Lin: “…”
Was that the case!
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know…” An Lin had thought that Her Majesty Nuwa was close to omnipotent in this world and would be able to sever the connection. He wasn’t expecting the connection to be so powerful.
Black Spirit Snake’s eyes were like a pair of eternal glaciers as she looked at An Lin. “However… there is a way…”
“What is it?” An Lin raised his head with curiosity.
Black Spirit Snake replied slowly, “I can kill you.”
An Lin: “…”
“If I kill you, your bloodline and presence will disappear, upon which your connection with the egg would be severed, thereby allowing it to accept another master.”
Black Spirit Snake made her way toward An Lin, and her storage ring flashed as her divine tool, Realm Creation Evil Vanquis.h.i.+ng Sword, appeared in her hand again. The sword exuded an extremely formidable aura.
An Lin took a deep breath and raised his head to look into Black Spirit Snake’s eyes.
He was feeling the onset of panic, but he couldn’t lose in a battle of wills!
What were his chances of survival if a Dao Integration Stage True G.o.d tried to kill him?
Under normal circ.u.mstances, a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure would probably be able to kill a Soul Formation Stage cultivator with a single glance. However, An Lin was quite a powerful Soul Formation Stage cultivator, so he might require a punch instead?
In any case, An Lin was well and truly screwed if Black Spirit Snake didn’t change her mind!
“Don’t do it, Black Spirit Snake!”
A white light flashed past, and Bai Ling positioned herself in front of An Lin to face off against Black Spirit Snake.
Tears welled up in Black Spirit Snake’s eyes in a rare display of vulnerability. “I have nothing left! You’ve taken everything from me! Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?!”
An Lin was shocked that Black Spirit Snake would display such a weak side of herself to everyone. What the h.e.l.l was she plotting now?
“I can let An Lin live, but you have to relinquish control of this mystic realm to me!” Black Spirit Snake negotiated with a pout.
Bai Ling paused momentarily. She then refused firmly, “No!”.
Black Spirit Snake: “…”
An Lin: “…”
Did she have to reply with such determination? She was giving up An Lin’s life with her refusal!
Did she not have a conscience?
Was this it? An Lin’s heart felt as if it had been plunged into ice.
Bai Ling shot a glance at Black Spirit Snake before continuing, “Furthermore, you have far from nothing left. The Zhan Qi Continent, the You Ming Continent, the Hui Ling Continent, aren’t those all yours? And those are only the ones that I know of; there are even more that I do not know about… so don’t try to evoke my sympathy!”
“Gasp…” An Lin was shocked to hear this. Did she own this many worlds?
Most importantly, she was the master of the Zhan Qi Continent? Wasn’ that the continent he had explored when he visited the Shou Yang Tomb?!
Who would have thought that Black Spirit Snake was the master of that world!
An Lin made a mental note not to mess with her ever again…
After being exposed by Bai Ling, the vulnerability on Black Spirit Snake’s face disappeared, and it was replaced by a killing intent as she turned toward An Lin again. “An Lin, I’m not an unreasonable snake, so I won’t kill you for the phoenix egg. But… that doesn’t mean I’m not p.i.s.sed off! I’m going to take it upon myself to teach you a lesson every time I encounter you!”
“Gasp…” Everyone drew a sharp intake of breath upon hearing this.
An Lin’s knees were trembling from her blatant threat. She would teach him a lesson every time she encountered him? Holy sh*t!
Liu Qianhuan clicked her tongue in wonder. “It looks like An Lin is not going to be able to live the safe and happy life he desires!”
Black Spirit Snake stared deeply into An Lin’s eyes as gooseb.u.mps popped up all over An Lin’s body.
She then harrumphed coldly and transformed into a streak of black light as she flew toward the central region of this world.
Upon seeing this, An Lin collapsed to the ground while panting heavily. He felt as if he had just escaped certain death.
The killing intent of a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure was not something to be scoffed at!
“Is she gone now?” An Lin asked while fear lingered in his heart.
Bai Ling nodded with a smile. “She has. Congratulations, An Lin, yet another beauty has made a spot for you in her heart!”
Bai Ling was clearly taking pleasure in An Lin’s misfortune, and he didn’t want to say anything as he silently put away his phoenix egg.
