80: Demon Saint Kunpeng Egg

"Great fortune... Great misfortune..."

The divination signs flickered erratically, seemingly changing in an instant.

Gu Changsheng's brows furrowed.

It had been three years. Yuan Lian Avatar had been mining for three years, and before that, refining spiritual veins and searching for Yuan Magnetic Spirit, all without the slightest risk. Yet now, a sign of great misfortune had appeared.

"How could this be... Could it be that this time, collecting demon blood will lead to encountering a Dongxuan Realm old monster, or a peerless True Core Realm great demon?"

Crisis often accompanies Opportunity.

But no matter how good the Opportunity, one must be alive to seize it.

"Squeak, squeak––"

The Divining Turtle struggled desperately, trying to escape his palm.

"Let me deduce it again..."

Gu Changsheng's palm suddenly tightened, activating his deduction technique.

His face flushed, and a mouthful of vital blood spurted from his throat, transforming into a blood mist that stained the turtle shell.

Immediately, wisps of blood mist were absorbed by the turtle's back, and an illusion of a mirage floated out.

The image was quite blurry, but it clearly conveyed the aura of demons.

"Collecting demon blood will indeed provoke a Dongxuan Realm demon king... And it seems there's more than one... I need to find a way to see more clearly."

Gu Changsheng suddenly spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

The rich Life Qi was astonishing.

This mouthful of fresh blood cost at least a thousand years of Lifespan.

An ordinary Dongxuan Realm Cultivator would die of old age in an instant if he lost a thousand years of Lifespan.

But for Gu Changsheng, it was just a small fraction of his Lifespan.

As the fresh blood merged into the turtle's back, the image immediately became clearer.

"It's her!

Xiao Yue Lang's paramour... Yu Mian Hu Niang!

Her backer is actually a Dongxuan Realm demon king from the Fox Race!"

Yuan Lian Avatar's face showed surprise.

His thoughts converged, and a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

"No wonder when Xiao Yue Lang and the Human-faced Night Owl were fighting, he clearly had the upper hand, but then the situation suddenly reversed drastically.

It seems that Yu Mian Hu Niang's secret methods were at play."

"Behind her, she's even connected to a Fox Race Dongxuan Realm demon king, and it seems her ambitions are not small."

Gu Changsheng blinked.

Suddenly, the image shifted, revealing a mountain floating in the air, inverted like a pyramid.

On the mountain, another Dongxuan Realm demon king appeared.

He looked like an old man with a sallow complexion.

Yet, his aura was like a deep ocean, immensely powerful.

However, what moved Gu Changsheng the most was a giant green egg shrouded in black Qi beside him.

"What is that...?"

Gu Changsheng frowned.

Under his deduction technique, he could clearly see the face of the Dongxuan Realm demon king, but he couldn't discern the details of that giant egg.

He immediately burned another thousand years of Lifespan.

Suddenly, in the image, the black Qi entanglement around the surface of the giant egg dissipated.

Above, a blurry phantom appeared.

Sometimes it transformed into a soaring bird, sometimes into a swimming fish in the deep sea.

"This is... a Kunpeng..."

Gu Changsheng's face showed surprise.

At this moment, in the ethereal realm, that phantom looked in Gu Changsheng's direction, seemingly sensing something.

Suddenly, a powerful mental shock assailed him.

Pfft—

Gu Changsheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His face was pale, and his temples instantly turned white.

This backlash just now cost him at least three thousand years of Lifespan.

"This aura... it's an egg laid by a Demon Saint..."

Calming himself, Gu Changsheng's Qi and blood circulated, his complexion immediately improved, and his graying hair returned to black.

His face showed struggle.

"Fortune and misfortune are intertwined... So, great fortune and great misfortune are linked to one place..."

Clearly, that Demon Saint Kunpeng egg was an immense Opportunity.

If he could obtain it, he might be able to refine a fourth Incarnation.

The potential of an ancient Vicious Beast like the Kunpeng was absolutely rare in the world.

The great misfortune was that to obtain that Kunpeng egg, he couldn't avoid the Dongxuan Realm demon king.

He pondered for a moment, then decided to let his Incarnation take a gamble.

"If it were any other Opportunity, so be it, but this involves a Demon Saint..."

The Demon Saint Kunpeng was a great demon Cultivator at the Peak of the Yang Spirit Realm.

Rumor has it that he even Broke through the Heavenly Dao and Ascended to become an Immortal.

If he could obtain this egg, he might be able to glimpse the mysteries beyond the Yang Spirit Realm.

This was an existence on the same level as the Great Emperor of Yellow Springs.

"You two secretly slay demons and collect their blood and Divine Souls.

As long as you don't provoke that Yu Mian Hu Niang, you shouldn't attract the attention of the demon king behind her.

As for the rest, we can only wait for the Opportunity..."

"Alright."

The two transformed into streaks of light and fled.

Suspended Mountain.

"Shi Tian Demon King, what's wrong?

Are you dissatisfied with this Formation?"

A young man with the appearance of a refined scholar respectfully asked.

If Gu Changsheng were here, he would surely recognize the person before him.

It was Guan Ping, the second-in-command of the Yellow Turban Army.

At this moment, his expression was respectful, without the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.

All because the old man before him was none other than one of the Ten Great Demon Kings of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.

The sallow old man did not answer, his gaze fixed on the Void Realm, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

His talent made him exceptionally sensitive to Qi flow.

Just now, he had a slight feeling of being spied upon.

"Could it be that Mountain Sea Turtle...?"

After a moment, Shi Tian Demon King recovered his smile, appearing like a benevolent old man of the Human Race.

"Nothing.

Your Dao of Formations is almost eighty percent as skilled as your Master Zhang Liang.

Truly remarkable.

If this matter succeeds, you will have rendered a great service."

Shi Tian Demon King's gaze drifted, and beneath the Suspended Mountain, countless secret inscriptions subtly emerged.

They interconnected, their auras flowing as one.

Deep underground, there were faint screams of blood and souls.

"I'm afraid it won't be smooth.

The news of the Saint Egg seems to have already reached several demon kings.

If they are determined to obstruct, this Formation might not be able to withstand it..."

Guan Ping replied sheepishly.

This, however, made Shi Tian Demon King laugh heartily.

"Do you know why the Dongxuan Realm demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains have never set foot in the Great Shang territory?"

This question immediately startled Guan Ping.

"Please enlighten me, Demon King."

"It seems your Master didn't tell you..." Shi Tian Demon King looked at Guan Ping meaningfully and slowly began.

"In the past, the Demon Saint left behind a legacy.

This generation of demon kings, including me, all benefited from this grace.

When Breaking through to the Profound Cave, we were also bound by it.

Once the Ten Great Demon Kings leave the demon mountains and enter the Great Shang territory, their strength will be significantly suppressed.

Besides that... Great Shang is not as simple as you think... Otherwise, your Master wouldn't be in such a hurry to Break through to the Profound Cave."

As soon as these words were spoken, a storm surged in Guan Ping's heart.

This seemed to be connected to some hidden secret.

Shi Tian Demon King continued, "This blood sacrifice, the other nine demon kings will at most send their subordinates to cause trouble.

They won't easily dare to leave their guarded territories... As for True Core great demons, even if a demon king assists from thousands of miles away, they won't be able to stir up much trouble.

Haha..."

... Xiao Mountain territory.

In the Void Realm, a dark Vicious Beast fell to the ground, kicking up dust.

There were no wounds on its body.

But there was no trace of Divine Soul aura.

It was none other than the Human-faced Night Owl.

"The Nine Nether Soul-Seizing Underworld Light combined with the Two Forms Yuanci Mysterious Light, even an ordinary True Core great demon is truly vulnerable.

However, to collect demon souls in the future, this method won't work anymore..."

From the dust, two figures slowly emerged.

Yuan Lian Avatar pointed a finger, and under the shining spiritual light, layers of skin peeled off.

Immediately after, he took out a green-skinned gourd and sucked the flesh and blood into it.

After shaking it a few times, the sound of juice melting could be heard.

Yuan Ci Avatar put on the skin, transforming into the Human-faced Night Owl.

"Haha, now I also have a disguise..."

"With the two of us working together, ordinary True Core great demons cannot harm us.

Perfect, we can secretly complete our main body's mission."

The demonic wind raged, and the two transformed into demons, returning to their Immortal Cave.
