Chapter 1613: Divine Egg and Crystal
Inside the Demon Mountain, Jiang Chen had no idea where he was exactly.
The Great Method of Void had moved him a long distance so that he’d arrived in the deepest part of the mountain.
Different from the complicated labyrinths at the entrance, the deepest part was quite s.p.a.cious.
Jiang Chen was standing in the air. Below him was a dark abyss.
He tried to investigate the abyss with his holy awareness, but he couldn’t see the bottom.
“Something’s not right.”
Everything seemed to be made of hard granite , and it was very cool.
But Jiang Chen could detect that something was wrong.
He launched an attack. He threw his Sacred Flame at the hard stone wall.
The sound of it hitting was different from what he’d expected. Jiang Chen heard water flowing. Then the mountain around him started to change.
Under his gaze, it turned into writhing b.l.o.o.d.y flesh, which was extremely disgusting and scary.
“I’m inside the Demon Fetus!” Jiang Chen realized where he was. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, because he’d walked into the tiger’s mouth after just leaving the wolf’s den.
These walls of flesh started to move together in an effort to squeeze Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was going to exert the Great Method of Void again, but it turned out he couldn’t use it here. He was stuck.
“A Universe of Dharma-Laksana!”
Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate. He resorted to the Dharmic Idol and turned into a giant, trying to explode the Demon Fetus.
The Dharmic Idol burning with the Sacred Flame startled the Demon Fetus. It stopped trying to squeeze Jiang Chen.
However, the Buddhist power only had a very limited influence on the Demon Fetus. It launched another attack very soon, drowning the Dharmic Idol.
Jiang Chen found himself unable to move and his Buddhist light being swallowed. This life-or-death moment had come so suddenly that he was at his wit’s end.
Fortunately, he calmed down and took out the divine crystal that he’d gotten from Long Xing.
The Demon Fetus reacted strongly as soon as the divine crystal was taken out. It moved away from Jiang Chen immediately.
However, when it realized that the divine crystal didn’t have any Extraordinary Power now that it was inside the Demon Fetus, the Demon Fetus flew into a rage. It became extremely fierce and started to launch another attack.
“Look at this!” Smiling coldly, Jiang Chen showed off the divine egg that he’d gotten a long time ago.
Since he’d gotten the divine egg, it had brought him lots of troubles from the Divine Recluse Race. Except for that, it had never been useful. Because back then Jiang Chen knew nothing about the divine egg, and he had no idea how to use it.
Jiang Chen had even tried to burn the divine egg with the Solar Golden Flame. He certainly didn’t get anything from that.
However, after his holy soul had woken up, things became different. He thought about hatching the divine egg to create a Heavenly G.o.d.
However, the broken Black Yellow Great World couldn’t hold a Heavenly G.o.d. In other words, the Power of a Heavenly G.o.d couldn’t be formed in the Black Yellow Great World. Even if there had been a Heavenly G.o.d, he wouldn’t have been very strong.
Most important, to hatch the divine egg, he would need to use up all of the resources the Heavenly Palace and the celestial palace had. This was why, despite the waking of the holy soul, Jiang Chen had never thought about taking advantage of it.
Not until he got the divine crystal. Then a bold idea had reminded him of the divine egg once again. He could extract the Extraordinary Power from the divine egg and keep it in the divine crystal. Then, using the divine crystal as the medium, he would be able to switch on Heavenly G.o.d Descending to the World, just like the Martial Divinity Palace.
But differently, in Jiang Chen’s case, it would be called the Status of Heavenly G.o.d. It was the same Status of Heavenly G.o.d in which he’d killed Demon lords like killing chickens in the Demonic Abyss.
The thing was, since he’d gotten the divine crystal, the war had been developing very fast and he hadn’t had time to take a rest. For this reason, it was naturally less possible to work on this project.
Until this moment, when Jiang Chen had to work on it. If he couldn’t figure it out, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave here.
He acted as soon as he had the idea. Jiang Chen started to extract the Extraordinary Power from the divine egg using the knowledge he’d acquired from the holy soul.
The divine egg hadn’t hatched, so it couldn’t be deemed as life yet. Jiang Chen didn’t have any guilty feelings.
“Long Xing thinks the Extraordinary Power is the most important thing, but that’s not true. The most important thing is the divine crystal.”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of how Long Xing had just given him the divine crystal without any concern.
Thinking of Long Xing, he actually had a hard time squeezing out a smile at the moment.
…..
The reinforcements from all the races had gained the absolute advantage. They’d been waiting to capture the Demon City and eliminate the Nether World School and the Demons.
However, the second round of defections had started as soon as the Shadow Yama finished speaking. This time, it wasn’t only some one person who’d defected, but an entire force.
Putting aside these forces’ strengths, they shared one other thing in common: all of them had a history that stretched back more than 100 years.
Seeing how chaotic the allied forces were, the Shadow Yama laughed complacently.
“I didn’t expect this to be so easy. Why’d you wait until now?” It was also a surprise for the General Demon, who was fighting several strongmen. Feeling surprised, he asked, “So, your Great Sovereign could have stayed alive. She didn’t have to die.”
“The Great Sovereign was strong enough to ruin the Black Yellow Great World even before the appearance of Venerable Sovereigns, but why didn’t she do that?” the Shadow Yama answered him with a question.
The General Demon thought about it and suddenly figured it out. He said, “Because she couldn’t do it.”
“That’s right. Not only the Great Sovereign, even today’s Ghost Sovereign gets their outstanding strength at the cost of their immortal life. All this is for the ultimate purpose: to make the Lord descend to the world.”
The Shadow Yama was so excited that he couldn’t help but shout hooray with his hands raised.
It turned out that the Nether World School had actually become desperate because of the Sovereign Souls. They had to sacrifice some lives to deal with Venerable Sovereigns.
“You used this trump card on the Alien Battlefield so that you could give me a blow, didn’t you?” the General Demon asked coldly.
The Shadow Yama smiled mysteriously. He said, “We’re all chess pieces, which shouldn’t be used until some crucial moment. Otherwise they could’ve been captured one by one.”
“Huh?” Looking at the chaos of the allied forces, the General Demon was half happy and half worried.
Even the Dragons had defectors, which made him worry about his own race. They could have defectors as well.
Immortal life! Even the General Demon felt tempted at the thought of that.
For the allied forces, the good news was that the first-cla.s.s forces hadn’t been infiltrated.
Given the distance limit between the General Demon and the Demon City, the allied forces kept retreating so that the situation could be made clearer.
When they got far enough away, what they saw made them pale: 40 percent of the allied forces had defected.
These defectors were fighting alongside the Demons and the killers of the Nether World School, so that it was impossible to capture the Demon City.
At the same time, the Alien Battlefield was rolling toward the Three Upper Realms!
“The Nether World School was established 500 years ago. However, Blood Slaves came into existence thousands of years ago, right after the a.s.sault on the Blood Race. They are everywhere and account for 40 percent of the population of the entire world.”
“The Blood Race hasn’t showed up, and we are paying big prices here!”
“We can do nothing but resign ourselves to our fate.”
The remaining allied forces didn’t know what to do. Without direction, the worst thing that could happen would be that no one would direct the troops, or everyone would try to.
If worse came to worst, these two could happen one after the other.
The allied forces fell into silence. Then they started the discussion once again. There were all kinds of opinions.
Some people proposed retreating so that no more people would die.
Some suggested that they eliminate the Demons and the Blood Race regardless of anything.
Anyway, there were all kinds of opinions.
At this moment, a violent earthquake rumbled the earth, and people found that the Alien Battlefield had stopped moving.
Big disturbances were coming from inside of the Demon City.
“It’s Jiang Chen and the others! They’ve succeeded inside!”
The allied forces were pleasantly surprised. Their morale soared again.
