394: The dragon has turned into an egg!?
Just as the Black Guard was setting up a formation with his subordinates, Snake Green, who was undergoing Dragon Transformation, also reached the final step.
The energy in the evil dragon pearl had been completely absorbed, turning it into a dull, lusterless stone sphere.
Snake Green also began to use the demon power she had accumulated over a long time, in addition to the various precious medicinal materials Chen Fugui had prepared for her.
But these precious medicinal materials, to put it plainly, were all for martial artists and Mortals, and were not of much use to Snake Green.
However, this gesture of goodwill was enough to sustain Snake Green, helping her through this most difficult period.
"How is it going...?"
Chen Fugui paced back and forth, just like a father waiting outside the delivery room for his wife to give birth.
"Don't worry, Snake Green's breathing is stable now; she'll succeed in no time."
Zhu Ri comforted Chen Fugui, but he himself was actually unsure.
What Snake Green was doing now was the first case in the Yao Race in a thousand years; no one could help her.
"If only Mr. Chen were here..." Zhu Chang clutched Zhu Ri's sleeve tightly; she looked even more nervous than Snake Green herself.
During their time together, Snake Green and Zhu Chang had developed a very good relationship and were considered good sisters.
"Even if Brother Chen were here, there wouldn't be much he could do. After all, Brother Chen is of the Human Race, and we are of the Yao Race."
Zhu Ri shook his head; he didn't think Chen Heng would know anything about Dragon Transformation.
"We can only hope that Snake Green's instincts are not mistaken..."
In the courtyard, Snake Green had already reverted to human form, with two golden Dragon horns on her forehead shimmering brightly.
In contrast, Snake Green's face was exceptionally pale.
The demon power in her body was almost depleted, but she had managed to get through it.
"Where is the Lightning Tribulation? Why isn't it appearing?" Snake Green looked up at the sky, but there was no sign of the Lightning Tribulation appearing.
"Could it be... I failed?"
At this thought, Snake Green's face grew even paler.
She was unwilling to believe that after consuming so many of her master's resources and enduring unimaginable pain, the final outcome would be failure.
"No, it won't be."
Snake Green shook her head forcefully, the Dragon horns on her forehead tearing through the air and flashing with bursts of lightning.
"That's right, I still have one last step to complete..."
Thinking this, Snake Green mustered the last bit of demon power in her body and took out her demon core.
"Yes, the demon core hasn't transformed into a Dragon Pearl; that's the missing piece!"
"But... what should I do?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Snake Green's eyes. Dragon Transformation was her instinct, but how to turn the demon core into a Dragon Pearl, her instinct did not tell her.
This demon core embodied all her efforts from birth until now, but now it had become her obstacle.
"Since it's an obstacle... then destroy it!"
A look of determination flashed in Snake Green's eyes. Her hands transformed into Dragon claws, and she crushed the demon core in her palm.
The demon core transformed into the purest energy, surging into Snake Green's body. Her Realm was rapidly falling.
Half-step Demon Saint, Demon King, Demon Lord, Demon General, Demon Soldier... until Demon Spirit, Snake Green's Realm finally stopped falling.
The reason was nothing else; there was nothing left to fall.
Although her Realm had fallen, Snake Green's strength was not affected; instead, it was slowly growing stronger.
But Snake Green's vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud, her body slowly shrinking.
"Master, I failed..."
Soon, Snake Green's figure was no longer in the courtyard.
The moment Snake Green's aura completely disappeared, Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang, who were outside the courtyard gate, immediately sensed it.
Their expressions changed, and they immediately kicked open Snake Green's courtyard door.
"No, she was fine just a moment ago; how could she suddenly..."
There was no sign of Snake Green in the courtyard, only a pure white giant egg, half the height of a person, before everyone's eyes.
Zhu Ri frowned deeply and walked forward to gently stroke the white giant egg.
"This egg... it seems to be Snake Green?"
Zhu Ri, the entire tiger, was dumbfounded. How could Dragon Transformation result in an egg?
Did she turn back into her mother's womb?
Chen Fugui looked at the white giant egg with a pale face; he didn't know how to explain to Chen Heng the fact that Snake Green had turned into an egg.
"Yes, this is Snake Green." Zhu Chang glanced at the only pattern on the pure white giant egg.
It was a black Phoenix soaring with outstretched wings.
"Only Mr. Chen's Demon Slaves have this brand."
"So that means... Snake Green turned herself into an egg?"
Everyone looked at each other, unable to understand why Dragon Transformation would ultimately result in an egg.
"Never mind that, let's put Snake Green away first; leaving it out in the courtyard is not appropriate."
"Also, who among you knows how to hatch an egg?"
Zhu Ri scanned the people in the courtyard, and everyone shook their heads.
"Then we can't just find an old hen to hatch Snake Green, can we...?"
After placing Snake Green in Chen Heng's room, everyone gathered in the main house, sitting in a circle.
"..." The atmosphere was a bit awkward; no one knew how to speak first.
Finally, Chen Fugui couldn't take it anymore and spoke.
"If you ask me... if it doesn't work, should we just hatch it ourselves?"
"Also, do Dragon eggs need to be hatched?"
This question not only failed to break the awkwardness but made the atmosphere in the main hall even more silent.
That's right, Dragon eggs... do they need hatching?
"Let's not talk about hatching for now. I sensed that Snake Green's aura is very stable; it seems to be undergoing its final transformation."
Zhu Ri gently tapped the table and shared his findings about the Dragon egg.
"To be safe, let's wait until Mr. Chen returns."
"...Who among you knows where Mr. Chen went?"
Now, even fewer people spoke in the main hall.
No one knew where Chen Heng had gone; he never spoke of his destination.
"Ahem, since that girl Snake Green is fine, that's good. Let's go see her often and wait until my son returns," Chen Fugui coughed lightly. They couldn't discuss anything meaningful here, so they simply gave up.
"Xiao He, don't forget to wipe the dust off your Sister Snake Green every day, and sprinkle some water if it's too dry."
"Yes, Master." Xiao He nodded obediently.
It's just... this feeling really is like hatching a chicken egg... Inside the world-suppressing nail, Chen Heng had already arrived at the room containing good things.
Identical doors, identical architectural style, all super-sized white rooms.
However, this time there were no Four Fiends to disturb Chen Heng, nor were there any good opportunities for Chen Heng to gain a Bloodline.
"What... what the heck is this?"
Chen Heng looked at the square seal on the white platform. This thing was exquisitely crafted; it would certainly fetch a good price if sold.
The material was also quite good, feeling very much like jade, but its golden, shining color didn't look like jade at all.
Chen Heng knew that he wouldn't be able to figure out what this thing was on his own, so he might as well read the letter his Fellow Countryman left for him.
It was called a letter, but it was actually an instruction manual.
[Actually, I didn't finish speaking earlier. While attempting to draw the Root's attention to the Heavenly God, I was also trying other methods.]
[That is, to draw the Root's attention to myself alone.]
[To achieve this, some small auxiliary tools are needed, which is the item in your hand.]
[human emperor seal]
