Chapter 2268 - 2260: Holy Beast Egg

"Huang Xiaolong, His Highness the Saint Heir," said Red Demon leader He Longjie, his voice trembling. "If you spare us, we can tell you an earth-shattering secret!"

Huang Xiaolong’s expression remained unmoved. "I can search your memories and find out just the same!"

In fact, just now he had already guessed the earth-shattering secret that Red Demon leader He Longjie mentioned from the memories of the two disciples of Dragon Transformation Saint Sect.

The three from Red Demon looked utterly hopeless.

"Huang Xiaolong, His Highness the Saint Heir, we know that we are doomed, but before we die, we would like to ask you one thing," said He Longjie’s second-in-command, He Longde: "Please annihilate the Holy Alliance!"

If it weren’t for the Holy Alliance giving them false information, making them mistakenly believe that the three of them combined could completely kill Huang Xiaolong, they wouldn’t have stayed here waiting for Huang Xiaolong to come, nor would they be waiting here to die.

So, they bore a significant grudge against the Holy Alliance.

"Rest assured, even if you don’t say it, I will," Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Then, Huang Xiaolong searched the memories of the three from Red Demon, devouring their Enlightenment Saint Realms, Holy Veins, or Holy Bodies, leaving only their heads to return for the mission.

Huang Xiaolong took all the space divine artifacts from the two from Dragon Transformation Saint Sect and the three from Red Demon, and then went into a space deep within the three from Red Demon’s cave.

In this space, there was only one item!

An egg!

A gigantic egg!

Covered in dense, strange patterns, these motifs, apparently carved by humans, exuded infinite holy might, clearly the work of a powerful being who had achieved the Saint Realm.

The fact that a Saint Realm expert was willing to carve patterns on it demonstrates the treasure-like nature of this giant egg, indeed the earth-shattering secret mentioned by the three from Red Demon.

A giant egg suspected to be a Holy Beast Egg!

A Holy Beast, meaning a divine beast possessing complete Holy Veins, only divine beasts with complete Holy Veins can be called Holy Beasts, and only Holy Beasts among divine beasts can reach the Saint Realm.

However, Holy Beasts are even rarer than the Saint Heirs of the Holy Sect. In a Holy Land like the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, there are over thirty Saint Heirs, but only one Holy Beast, showing the value of a Holy Beast.

Even though a Holy Beast Egg is not as valuable as a Holy Beast, it is still an extremely precious treasure.

Huang Xiaolong reached out, placing his hand on the giant egg, using the power of the Three Great Dao Saint Forms to carefully sense the small life within the egg.

After half a day, Huang Xiaolong withdrew his hand, a smile appearing on his face.

Through the previous sensing, he confirmed that the giant Holy Beast Egg was on the verge of hatching, and at most, would hatch in a hundred years.

Normally, a Holy Beast Egg takes tens of millions or even billions of years to hatch, but fortunately, this one was about to hatch soon; otherwise, Huang Xiaolong truly couldn’t wait that long.

Moreover, from Wan Zhuoyuan’s memory, Huang Xiaolong knew of a potion that could accelerate the hatching speed of the Holy Beast Egg. This potion could be concocted with just a few dozen spiritual medicine materials, and with it, the Holy Beast Egg could hatch completely in at most ten years or even a few years, negating the need to wait a hundred years.

Huang Xiaolong stored the giant Holy Beast Egg into the Beast Barbaric Space and then left the cave of the three from Red Demon.

Thinking about this trial mission, not only successfully killing the three from Red Demon, but also devouring the Saint Realms and Holy Veins of the two disciples from Dragon Transformation Saint Sect, and acquiring a giant Holy Beast Egg, Huang Xiaolong was in excellent spirits.

If elder Guo Qirong knew this result, who knows if he would still assign him this trial mission? Huang Xiaolong snickered inwardly.

Having killed the three from Red Demon, the mission was complete, and with plenty of time at his disposal, Huang Xiaolong wasn’t in a hurry to return and decided to find a place in the Vast Sea to refine and completely absorb the Saint Realms, Holy Veins, and Holy Bodies of the two from Dragon Transformation Saint Sect and the three from Red Demon.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t leave Spirit Fire Island, instead finding a cave in a wild mountain range and setting up many prohibitions before starting to refine and absorb the Saint Realms, Holy Veins, and Holy Bodies of several people.

These two disciples from Dragon Transformation Saint Sect were not ordinary disciples but were ranked just below the Saint Heir, both were direct disciples of the Main Hall Master of the Dragon Transformation Saint Sect. They both possessed Enlightenment Saint Realms and Holy Veins, and their rankings weren’t low.

One of them had Enlightenment Saint Realms and Holy Veins ranked over two thousand, while the other, though slightly lower, wasn’t far behind.

Fortunately, Huang Xiaolong acted with lightning speed, transforming into an Ancient Dragon form right at the start and employed the Four Great Divine Flames and Beast Barbaric Thunder Pearl; otherwise, killing the two would not have been easy.

However, regrettably, the Enlightenment Saint Realms, Holy Veins, or Holy Bodies of the three from Red Demon were ranked lower, over three thousand.

Quickly, four months passed.

In these four months, Huang Xiaolong refined and absorbed the Enlightenment Saint Realms, Holy Veins, and Holy Bodies of the five people without stopping, while continuously consuming Fifth Grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Elixirs for cultivation.

With the aid of the Fifth Grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Elixir, Huang Xiaolong completely refined and absorbed their Enlightenment Saint Realms, Holy Veins, and Holy Bodies.

Additionally, Huang Xiaolong successfully broke through to the Sovereign Ninth Stage Late Stage, nearing the Ninth Rank Late Stage Peak.

"I wonder what rankings my Three Great Dao Saint Forms, Three Great Holy Veins, and Holy Body will have now," Huang Xiaolong pondered.

Originally, if he only devoured the three from Red Demon, his Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body rankings should be about the same as Huang Zhouping’s, or slightly higher. But now, with the addition of the two direct disciples of the Main Hall Master from Dragon Transformation Saint Sect, his rankings certainly surpassed Huang Zhouping’s by a significant margin.

Huang Xiaolong stood up, stretched his muscles, breathed in fresh air, "Huang Zhouping, it’s your turn soon!" Huang Xiaolong soared into the sky and left.

However, Huang Xiaolong was not planning to return to the Holy Sect Headquarters yet but intended to visit Spirit Fire City on Spirit Fire Island.

As the largest island in the Vast Cavern Archipelago, Spirit Fire Island boasted a massive Spirit Fire City, one of the largest trading markets in the Vast Sea.

Here, one could often find many spiritual medicines and spirit pills that couldn’t be bought in the capital of the Dynasty.

The dozens of spiritual medicine materials needed for the potion that accelerates the hatching of the Holy Beast Egg could possibly be bought here.

Half a day later, Huang Xiaolong arrived at Spirit Fire City.

Upon entering Spirit Fire City, Huang Xiaolong immediately sensed numerous eyes filled with ill intent and greed watching him. Although Spirit Fire City was relatively safe within the Vast Sea, robberies still frequently occurred.

With Huang Xiaolong being a Sovereign Ninth Stage Late Stage, alone, and appearing to be from a large family, he was undoubtedly a "fat lamb" in the eyes of many bandits.

Unfazed, Huang Xiaolong entered the largest trading market in Spirit Fire City and wandered about. Whenever he encountered the necessary spiritual medicine materials, he purchased them outright without haggling.

Sure enough, seeing Huang Xiaolong’s extravagant behavior, those bandits secretly eyeing this "fat lamb" grew even more fervent in their gazes.
