Chapter 1186: Egg Breaks, God Emerges (Fourth Update)
Before his eyes was the terrifying sight of an entire universe being destroyed, all matter reverting to energy. In the face of this fearsome power, all Dao techniques and divine abilities were utterly useless!
Even Qin Mu felt his own Great Dao collapsing, disintegrating, transforming into energy!
His physical body was completely useless against this terrifying wave of destruction!
His primordial spirit was also tearing apart!
He turned his head and saw an ancient, colossal tree standing tall amidst the destroyed universe, lush and verdant, surrounded by myriad rays of colorful light.
"So this is the true body of the Great Black Tree…"
He wanted to return to that divine tree, but as he lifted his foot, he saw his sole turning to ash.
Qin Mu's face showed terror. Suddenly, a flash of insight struck him. He quickly took out the ever-responsive ancient divine egg. The egg sensed the strange situation before it in an instant, seemingly aware of the impending catastrophe. Countless magnificent Dao runes flew out from within the egg, resisting the terrifying waves of the universe's destruction.
Qin Mu immediately felt the pressure lighten. He activated the Overlord Body Three Elixir Art, his foot rapidly regrowing as he raised the ancient divine egg high and charged toward that divine tree.
Resonant Dao sounds came from within the ancient divine egg, waves of Dao tones resisting the impact of the world's end.
One person and one egg shot toward the divine tree like two streaks of light.
The ancient divine egg was furious. Although it knew full well that Qin Mu had brought it into this dangerous situation, it had no choice but to rely on him now.
The energy of the universe's destruction grew increasingly terrifying. The divine tree seemed close, but was actually far away. An incredibly fearsome wave of energy pressed down, causing the ancient divine egg to emit cracking sounds.
This ancient divine egg was on the verge of being crushed at any moment!
Qin Mu roared, pouring all his strength into his legs as he madly rushed forward, pushing his speed to an unprecedented extreme!
He felt space cease to exist. In this ultimate speed, there was no space, no time!
Finally, he reached the base of the divine tree.
At that moment, a devastating wave of energy struck, shattering the safe zone the ancient divine egg had maintained. It pressed down on the egg, causing it to explode with a series of crackling sounds. Fragments of the shell flew in all directions, even cutting Qin Mu's cheek!
He used his last shred of strength to dash under the tree, holding a large piece of the eggshell high above him. Divine light shot up from within the shell, casting the divine tree in a riot of colors.
The moment he reached the tree, the world suddenly went dark, as if he had crossed from one universe into another.
Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he had returned to the Great Black Mountain. His legs gave way, and he stumbled forward for several hundred more miles before finally managing to stop.
Suddenly, he felt his hands grow lighter. He quickly looked up and saw that the half eggshell was empty, with only some egg liquid remaining. The ancient god within the egg had vanished without a trace!
Qin Mu held the massive eggshell and the liquid, his heart pounding with shock. He quickly looked around, but there was no sign of that ancient god.
"Did that ancient god remain in the previous universe, or did he escape with me when I fled back?"
Qin Mu steadied himself, a vague sense of unease settling in his heart.
If that ancient god had stayed in the previous universe, he would surely have perished, annihilated along with that universe.
If he had escaped back with him, then he would certainly hold a grudge for nearly getting them both killed. Moreover, having been forced to emerge before maturity, his Dao cultivation and strength would be far inferior to a fully mature form.
This was a major grudge!
Qin Mu was deeply worried. His frantic efforts to comprehend the Dao runes of the Primordial Beginning egg were not only to rescue Ling Tianzun and Wei Suifeng, but also to find out what this ancient god and Primordial Beginning were discussing.
Now, although he had deciphered the Primordial Beginning Dao runes, the ancient god from the ever-responsive divine egg had escaped, and such a deep grudge had been formed. It was bound to cause trouble in the future!
"I hope he died in that previous universe… Huh, this egg liquid smells so good—"
Suddenly, Qin Mu's appetite was stirred. He lifted the large eggshell and cautiously took a small taste. "So fragrant! No wonder that ancient god didn't want to come out of the shell! Damn, that was a bit too much. It seems I can't refine it…"
The next day, as the sky was just beginning to lighten, everything outside the Ten Thousand Black Mountains was calm. The terrifying destruction of the previous night had passed. The Ancestral Court was as usual, with no changes.
Qin Mu clutched his stomach, frowning deeply. After drinking that mouthful of egg liquid last night, his stomach felt heavy and increasingly uncomfortable.
Sometimes it felt like a surging heavenly river inside him, sometimes like a giant beast churning seas and overturning rivers, sometimes as heavy as a hundred Mount Sumerus, and other times like a hidden sun, roasting his internal organs as if they were scorched.
That mouthful of egg liquid seemed to be able to transform into countless forms within him, completely indigestible!
He could sense the incredibly surging and abundant energy within the egg liquid, but not only could he not refine it, it had become a burden.
"I shouldn't eat random things in the future. This egg liquid is more poisonous than Master Pharmacist's elixirs. But it really is fragrant…"
Cold sweat broke out on Qin Mu's forehead. He was about to leave the Ancestral Court when he suddenly saw a mountain peak split open. A young, beautiful woman carrying a bucket of water walked toward that mountain.
Qin Mu was slightly startled. He bowed in greeting. "Brother Primordial Change!"
The woman was indeed Primordial Change. Seeing him, she shook her head and said, "Fellow Daoist, you went to the previous universe last night? You are quite bold, daring to step out of the Great Black Mountain after dark. Because of you, Primordial Simplicity has also emerged prematurely. The karma between you and her is not small."
Qin Mu endured the sharp pain in his abdomen and asked, "Brother, do you know where she is hiding?"
The woman shook her head. "I know, but I cannot tell you. You have ill intentions."
Qin Mu frowned.
The woman laughed. "You ate her egg liquid? That is the substance of her Dao attainment. This deepens the karma even further."
Qin Mu humbly sought advice. "How can this enmity be resolved?"
"It cannot be resolved."
The woman shook her head. "She was already suspicious because of Primordial Beginning's emergence, and then she was dug up by the Creators, making her distrustful of everyone. She also has ambitions; conflict with you all was only a matter of time. Mu Tianzun, I can, however, teach you a way to refine the egg liquid."
Qin Mu's heart stirred.
The woman continued. "Primordial Simplicity was born within the Primordial Simplicity vein. By absorbing the power of Primordial Simplicity divine stones and Primordial Simplicity primal stones, she can refine the egg liquid and master the Primordial Simplicity Great Dao. If you use Primordial Simplicity divine stones, you can dissolve the energy within the egg liquid."
Qin Mu bowed in thanks. The woman laughed. "I am also doing this for the sake of the future, which is why I am guiding you. Besides, I have taken advantage of you. Even if I didn't tell you, you would soon discover the function of the Primordial Simplicity divine stones." With that, she carried her bucket of water toward the split black mountain.
Long Qilin and Yan'er had already arrived there. Seeing Qin Mu still within the Ten Thousand Black Mountains, Long Qilin hurried over. Qin Mu instructed him, "Warn everyone: absolutely do not go out at night, or you will surely die! Remember this, remember this!"
Long Qilin was startled. "Chief, did you go out last night?"
Qin Mu's face flushed slightly. "Don't ask."
Long Qilin watched him walk away, thinking to himself, "I already told everyone not to go out at night, even that mischievous Jiang Yunjian wouldn't dare. Only the Chief, with his insatiable curiosity, after seeing the terror of a universe's destruction, would still happily trot out the door…"
