Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: The Fatal Attraction of the Mysterious Giant Egg Chapter 87: The Fatal Attraction of the Mysterious Giant Egg The mysterious giant egg was massive, measuring three meters at its narrowest point and five meters at its widest, wrapped in a semi-transparent, pale yellow shell.

A network of countless scarlet veins spread out over the shell, interlocking in patterns reminiscent of tree roots.

These veins extended to the ground, gathering into a small mound.

Within these scarlet veins, a vibrant fluid circulated, brimming with life.

Additionally, the giant egg emitted an incredibly intense aura of qi and blood, far exceeding the power levels of the Mysterious Platform realm.

This suggested that the giant egg was very much alive, throbbing with a powerful life essence.

It left one to wonder about the nature of the formidable being that could lay such a mysterious and potent egg.

The moment Jiang Chen witnessed this incredible sight, everything fell into place for him: the vanishing of animals and demonic beasts, the appearance of crimson monsters feeding on flesh and blood, the formation of golden-red cores within the skulls of these creatures, and the noticeable decrease in these Monster Cores since they entered the cave.

Suddenly, it all made sense.

This arrangement was evidently designed by the creator of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm to continuously feed the enormous egg with pure qi and blood energy, removing the necessity for any external help.

Upon realizing the full extent of the plan, Jiang Chen was deeply amazed.

‘This is definitely the handiwork of a supremely powerful entity, someone who must have attained the Second Step of the Cultivation Path or higher,’ he marveled internally.

‘Even though I’m not sure about his fate or his plans for this giant egg, one thing is certain: this has to be one of Ye Fan’s remarkable chances!’ Jiang Chen thought decisively.

It was crystal clear to him that if he let events unfold naturally, Ye Fan was bound to acquire the mysterious egg.

Considering its immense size and the abundance of qi and blood energy it contained, Ye Fan could potentially hatch an extraordinary and incredibly powerful companion from it, offering him priceless support when needed.

‘More importantly,’ Jiang Chen pondered quietly, ‘given the powerful qi and blood flowing within the creature inside this egg, it’s practically a mobile power supply for Ye Fan’s Wordless Heavenly Jade.

Having it nearby, Ye Fan could speed up his cultivation progress significantly!’ ‘In summary, this mysterious giant egg cannot end up in Ye Fan’s hands; I must take it for myself!’ Despite this determination, Jiang Chen chose to stay put, maintaining his hidden watch, biding his time for the perfect opportunity to make his move.

…

As Jiang Chen was deep in thought, the battle outside grew more fierce by the moment, with fighters sustaining injuries occasionally.

At that moment, Qiu Linrui from the Bright Sun Sect, without even looking back, shouted commandingly, “Allies from the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain and the Azure Jade Sect, since you’ve come this far too, jump into the battle now!

Don’t worry, your efforts will be fairly rewarded later!” Upon hearing this, Xie Lianchu of the Heavenly Blade School also spoke up, “Members of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain and the Azure Jade Sect, I, on behalf of the Heavenly Blade School, am ready to provide significant rewards for your assistance in this conflict.” “We will honor our commitment right after the battle ends,” he assured with conviction.

The chief disciples from the Divine Wind School and the Water Cloud Sect also made their appeals, urging the Azure Jade Sect and the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain to engage in the battle.

Fei Chao of the Beast Emperor Mountain, however, took a starkly different approach.

Eschewing diplomacy, he grimaced threateningly and scoffed, “Hmph, Azure Jade Sect and Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain, hurry up and act as bait for the monsters!

Otherwise, you’ll be my first targets!” …

Upon hearing the pronouncements from the five leading disciples, the practitioners from the Azure Jade Sect and the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain, positioned at the entrance of the immense cavern, displayed visible concern and indecision on their faces.

Compelled by the situation, a disciple from the Azure Jade Sect finally broke the quiet, cautiously inquiring, “Senior Brother Guo Ji, should we step in?” Guo Ji, however, did not respond right away.

The hesitation and deliberation about what to do next were plainly evident on his face.

Just then, it was unexpectedly Ye Fan who spoke up, saying, “I think it’s not needed right now.” “Why?” asked a puzzled disciple from the Azure Jade Sect.

Meanwhile, a disciple from the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain gave Ye Fan a scornful look and scoffed, “No one asked for your input.

Why are you even speaking?” “I say we join the battle,” another disciple from the Azure Jade Sect announced, his face alight with resolute determination.

“But not as mercenaries, as competitors!” “We aim to compete for that magnificent chance as well!” he proclaimed, his eyes, filled with avarice and ambition, fixed on the giant egg.

“Precisely!” shouted the one who had earlier dismissed Ye Fan, now trying to persuade the crowd, “By this point, those guys have taken heavy hits.

Just looking at the numbers, we’re pretty much on par with them!” “Therefore, we’re just as entitled to fight for that treasure!” he passionately argued, eyes greedily locked on the massive egg.

After these two made their compelling cases, the rest of the group nodded in agreement.

Observing the collective response, Ye Fan sighed and shook his head.

In his view, they could have benefited from a more cautious approach, watching how things played out.

Sadly, his peers were too dazzled by their own ambitions to see this.

What a pity!

He found himself unable to convince them otherwise.

More accurately, he was reluctant to expose his true strength just to stop them from proceeding.

“Since we’re all in agreement, let’s move forward!” Guo Ji, who had remained quiet until now, finally spoke up.

“This opportunity won’t last long, and by acting quickly, we can seize the moment before it slips away!” As he said this, he shared a significant glance with Tao Jun, signaling their shared resolve.

The rest of the group nodded their approval.

“Let’s go, we’re heading in!” With a wave of his hand, Guo Ji quickly took the lead, guiding the group into the depths of the underground chamber.

Ye Fan blended effortlessly into the crowd, his eyes constantly scanning the giant egg.

He too recognized the immense advantages it could offer him and was determined to claim it for himself!

However, he understood that now was not the best time to make his move.

Therefore, Ye Fan chose to keep his true power concealed, waiting patiently for the ideal opportunity to strike.

At that moment, the Azure Jade Sect and the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain members charged into the battlefield.

But instead of engaging with the monsters, they rushed straight towards the giant egg.

Seeing an opportunity with the others tied up in combat, they aimed to seize the rewards for themselves.

“You shameless bastards!” Fei Chao bellowed.

Known for his quick temper, he instantly left the monster he was fighting and focused on the Azure Jade Sect and Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain members.

With a powerful stomp that split the ground, he propelled himself like a missile towards them from behind.

“Roar!” The blood-colored monster quickly joined in the pursuit.

“What’s with him!” Guo Ji grumbled quietly, his face suddenly changing, caught off guard by Fei Chao’s intense reaction.

Not wanting to be vulnerable to Fei Chao from behind, he quickly turned and activated his defensive artifact, creating a shield around him.

At the same time, he yelled, “Let’s band together to stop him!” At the same time, most of the others stopped in their tracks, turning to face Fei Chao.

However, a few remained focused on the giant egg, making a dash for it!

A Late-stage Spiritual Awakening cultivator from the Azure Jade Sect, leading the charge, reached the giant egg first and stretched out his hand to touch it.

“Hahaha!

This mysterious treasure egg is now mine!” he shouted, bursting with elation.

However, in the midst of his triumph, he tragically didn’t see the thin beam of light heading towards him.

When he finally detected the imminent danger, it was already too late; the thin beam of light, which was in fact a razor-sharp throwing knife hurled at incredible speed, had pierced through his skull.

“Hmph!

Trying to take a treasure that belongs to me, Qiu Linrui, is simply courting death!” Qiu Linrui sneered coldly, pulling his hand back, then turned to engage the monster he was facing.

That attack had been his handiwork!

“He got what he deserved!” someone laughed, agreeing with the sentiment.

Initially, when the five major sects reached this spot almost at the same time, the cavern was devoid of the blood-colored monsters; there was only the giant egg present.

Understanding that no words were needed in this scenario, they instantly began fighting to claim the egg.

As the battle wore on and the number of fallen increased, with blood spilled all around, suddenly, from the small mound of blood vessels under the giant egg, numerous blood-colored creatures began to emerge.

Upon witnessing this, everyone immediately stopped their fighting and, without a word, turned their attention to dealing with the monstrous threat.

The understanding was clear: once the monsters were eliminated, the competition for the giant egg would resume!

Therefore, when the later arrivals from the Azure Jade Sect and the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain tried to circumvent this silent agreement, they were naturally faced with a united front from the others!
