Chapter Index

    “Hmm!?”

    Inside the Kunpeng egg, Lu Quanzhen was parasitizing the Kunpeng hatchling. As usual, he siphoned off the hatchling’s nutrients and energy, leaving him in a dazed state.

    Suddenly he sensed a wave of fear, stemming from his very instincts.

    This fear didn’t originate from him but from the Kunpeng hatchling!

    He had seized the Kunpeng hatchling, forming a strange symbiotic state, almost like one body. This allowed him to sense the latter’s emotions, thoughts and even memories.

    Over the years all he had felt from the Kunpeng hatchling was killing intent and hatred. It wished for nothing more than to emerge and eradicate him, this tumor, completely. Never had he sensed such fear.

    Even when he had forcibly seized control of the Kunpeng egg, using the Kunpeng’s aura to lure third-rank top-tier demon kings, the Kunpeng hatchling had only felt animosity and hatred towards him, not fear.

    “What could make it so terrified!”

    Lu Quanzhen’s muddled consciousness cleared. He tried his best to suppress the instinctive fear, borrowing the Kunpeng egg’s vision to look outside.

    However just as he saw a hazy mist, the mysterious and intricate runes on the Kunpeng egg dimmed. The egg became lifeless, like a fossil, blocking his view.

    Lu Quanzhen knew this was a technique of the Kunpeng hatchling.

    Like a hibernating turtle, it completely concealed itself, suppressing all its aura.

    “A fourth-rank demon king, or what? To make it give up escaping and choose to hide.”

    Lu Quanzhen knew this kind of hibernation was actually very dangerous.

    If it failed to deceive the enemy it would be like waiting for death.

    But compared to escaping, the Kunpeng hatchling chose to hibernate. It must have its reasons.

    Just like this, time slowly passed.

    Lu Quanzhen and the Kunpeng hatchling were in a symbiotic state. He could clearly feel its anxiety, which made him incredibly nervous.

    After all, if the Kunpeng egg were in danger, he would also die.

    Time, at this moment, became extremely long.

    “Is this the beast?”

    Although the Kunpeng hatchling was dormant, blocking Lu Quanzhen’s vision.

    He could still see a few feet around him.

    At this moment, he saw a several-foot-long demon beast approach. It had two crystalline dragon horns on its head, its body faintly marked with draconic patterns, and fins like wings. It somewhat resembled a whale.

    Lu Quanzhen had seen the Abyssal Sea Whale King before.

    But the Abyssal Sea Whale King had advanced to become the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale, and then further advanced to the fourth-rank. Its appearance was vastly different from before, so he didn’t recognize it.

    “Hmm?”

    At this moment the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale’s black hole-like eyes continuously sized up the Kunpeng egg.

    Although the scene was somewhat similar to what Master had described, there was an egg.

    But this egg was dull and plain, like a rock. It was completely different from the egg Master was looking for.

    However from this stone egg, it felt a deep craving, an inexplicable attraction!

    This was an instinct stemming from its demonic bloodline!

    Immediately the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale opened its massive maw filled with sharp teeth, wanting to devour the stone egg.

    “Clang! Clang! Clang!”

    Holding his breath, Lu Quanzhen, who was focused on the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale, suddenly felt alarm bells ring in his mind.

    He felt an aura of death wash over him, completely enveloping him.

    Not only did he sense the danger of death, but so did the Kunpeng hatchling.

    But at this moment, there was nothing he could do.

    “Whoosh!”

    The dull, fossil-like Kunpeng egg seemed to come alive. Its mysterious and intricate runes intertwined, emitting a brilliant golden light and a dark, eerie glow, as it struggled to escape.

    However, it was just a hatchling.

    A hatchling that had not yet fully hatched from the egg.

    Against a fourth-rank demon king with True Spirit bloodline like the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale, it had no chance.

    In an instant, it was caught in the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale’s jaws. The eggshell nearly shattered.

    “Hmm.”

    The Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale, now named Lu Lingjing, was surprised.

    She recognized the Kunpeng egg in her mouth, with its flowing golden and dark light, as the egg her master wanted her to find.

    Drool dripped from the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale’s massive maw, filled with countless sharp teeth, she felt a sense of pity.

    The moment the Kunpeng egg’s aura leaked out, she felt an irresistible attraction.

    If she could eat this egg, her strength would improve rapidly. Even her bloodline could be enhanced.

    But Master had said to find this egg. She could only watch with drool.

    Then she used her demon energy and swallowed hard, temporarily storing the Kunpeng egg in her stomach to prevent it from escaping.

    Although she was only a few feet long now, her stomach was similar to a Storage Pouch. This wouldn’t be a problem.

    “It’s over!”

    Lu Quanzhen saw the Kunpeng egg swallowed by the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale. No matter how it struggled, it was useless. His heart sank.

    He had planned to risk his life and escape the moment the Kunpeng hatchling emerged.

    But unexpectedly they encountered a demon king at this time.

    Although he didn’t know the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale’s strength, he knew it was definitely a fourth-rank demon king.

    “A fourth-rank demon king.”

    Trying to escape from a fourth-rank demon king’s belly was undoubtedly a fool’s dream.

    Moreover, he had formed a strange symbiotic relationship with the Kunpeng hatchling. He knew how attractive this hatchling’s bloodline was to other demon beasts.

    Meanwhile, through the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror, Lu Changsheng, who was searching the deep sea, suddenly raised his hand and looked at a jade talisman in his arms.

    This was the communication talisman he had given to the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale.

    “Did Lingjing encounter some trouble?”

    Lu Changsheng’s first thought was that the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale had gotten into a fight with another demon king.

    But he had instructed her to avoid conflicts with other demon kings or cultivators.

    Under these circumstances, it was unlikely that any cultivator or demon king would provoke a fourth-rank demon king like the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale.

    “Did she find the Kunpeng egg, or did she encounter Wu Gu Old Demon or Shi Hai True Lord?”

    Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then without hesitation, headed towards the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale’s location.

    Two days later, he arrived at a deep-sea fissure.

    “Could it be.”

    Lu Changsheng looked at the deep-sea fissure before him, his heart skipped a beat. He had a few guesses.

    Just as he was about to enter the deep-sea fissure, the Divine Maiden Palace token in Lu Changsheng’s hand, the sensing plate, appeared.

    He formed hand seals, placing another restriction on the two tokens.

    This was to prevent the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale from finding the Kunpeng egg and the Kunpeng egg’s aura activating the sensing plate.

    After doing this, Lu Changsheng rushed into the deep-sea fissure.

    It must be said that without a late Core Formation stage cultivator, entering such a deep-sea fissure would be quite difficult.

    As he went deeper, after a while, Lu Changsheng sensed the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale’s aura. He could see that this area was somewhat similar to the scene he had deduced from the heavenly secrets.

    “Master.”

    The Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale also sensed Lu Changsheng and swam towards him, indicating that she had found the egg he was looking for.

    “You found it!? Where is it?”

    Lu Changsheng’s face lit up with joy. He immediately asked.

    “Ah.”

    The Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale immediately opened her massive maw, spitting out the Kunpeng egg from her stomach.

    “Buzz!”

    Not only did Lu Changsheng sense the faint bloodline connection from the Kunpeng egg.

    The Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror in his arms also sensed the aura of the Sun-Moon Token.

    “Quanzhen is inside this Kunpeng egg!”

    Although Lu Changsheng didn’t know what his son’s situation was, he quickly cast a Yin-Yang Glass Wall to isolate and envelop the Kunpeng egg, preventing its aura from leaking out and causing trouble.

    “Hmm!?”

    At this moment, Lu Quanzhen inside the Kunpeng egg awoke.

    Looking at the Yin-Yang magical energy enveloping the Kunpeng egg, he felt a sense of familiarity.

    But Lu Changsheng had altered his appearance, so he couldn’t be sure.

    “Quanzhen?”

    Lu Changsheng looked at the Kunpeng egg before him, placed his hand on it, sensed the situation, and called out in a deep voice.

    “Father. Father!”

    Lu Quanzhen, who had turned into a demonic fetus and was parasitizing the Kunpeng egg, was stunned. He called out with excitement and disbelief, his voice trembling.

    He never expected that the refined and handsome man before him was his father.

    Although he had prayed for his father, Lu Changsheng, to come and save him years ago.

    He knew that the Kunpeng egg was isolated from heavenly secrets and fate. After so long with no news, he had gradually given up on that hope, preparing to do his best on his own.

    But unexpectedly, his father had still found him.

    Lu Quanzhen looked at the refined man before him, the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale, and felt like he was dreaming.

    “Quanzhen, what happened to you?”

    The Kunpeng egg was very unusual, it isolated divine sense and magical energy.

    Without daring to act rashly, Lu Changsheng couldn’t know what was happening inside the egg, why his son, Lu Quanzhen, was inside the Kunpeng egg.

    “Roar!!!”

    Just as Lu Quanzhen was about to respond, the Kunpeng hatchling inside the egg realized something was wrong.

    The cultivator and the fourth-rank demon king were actually in league with the tumor that was parasitizing it! The Kunpeng hatchling had been in a symbiotic state with Lu Quanzhen for so long that it had also picked up some of his ruthlessness. It instantly became violent as if it would risk its life to kill Lu Quanzhen.

    In its view, it had fallen to this state entirely because of Lu Quanzhen.

    Now that the enemy’s allies had arrived it feared it was doomed. In this situation, even if it died, it would kill Lu Quanzhen.

    Lu Quanzhen struggled against the Kunpeng hatchling.

    But he was no match for the Kunpeng hatchling.

    The only reason it hadn’t killed him before was that the cost was too great.

    Now that it was willing to risk its life to kill him, he instantly felt their lives fading.

    “Hmm!?”

    Lu Changsheng saw the Kunpeng egg shaking violently, mysterious runes intertwining. He immediately realized something was wrong and acted to suppress the turmoil.

    “Ah Wu!”

    Then he used the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror in his arms to examine the Kunpeng egg.

    Inside the Kunpeng egg, a Kunpeng hatchling was curled up.

    On its chest was a strange, evil placenta covered in dense demonic patterns.

    Lu Changsheng could see that the Kunpeng hatchling was trying its best to kill the placenta on its chest.

    And this placenta covered in demonic patterns seemed to be his son, Lu Quanzhen?

    Even Lu Changsheng was stunned by this sight.

    Then a surge of nameless anger welled up within him, wanting to know how his son had ended up like this.

    His Yin-Yang magical energy surged, forcibly penetrating the Kunpeng egg’s shell, the runes of golden light and dark glow, suppressing the Kunpeng hatchling inside, and asked Lu Quanzhen what was going on?

    “Father.”

    Lu Quanzhen, relieved, quickly explained how he was taken to the Kunpeng Nest secret realm, devoured by the Kunpeng hatchling, and then parasitized by the demonic fetus.

    “Demonic Fetus Parasitism Technique?”

    Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed. He wondered what was going on with Qu Changge, giving his son such strange and domineering techniques.

    The Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Demon Art from before was like this, and now this Demonic Fetus Parasitism Technique was also like this.

    However, his son had used this secret technique to survive in a desperate situation and persisted until he arrived, so he didn’t say anything.

    He just asked Lu Quanzhen if there was any way to escape.

    “Father, if you can suppress this Kunpeng and break the eggshell, I can escape.”

    Lu Quanzhen said.

    “What’s the cost?”

    Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

    After his son explained the Demonic Fetus Parasitism Technique, he knew that this demonic secret technique must have great side effects and consequences.

    Not to mention, turning oneself into such a demonic fetus would cause certain damage to oneself!

    “I’ll be in a severely weakened state and it will cause some damage to my physical body and Dao foundation.”

    Lu Quanzhen told the truth. Once the demonic fetus state was released, he would be extremely weak, so he didn’t have much confidence in escaping from the Kunpeng hatchling.

    As for how much damage it would cause to his body and Dao foundation, he himself wasn’t sure.

    After all, he hadn’t fully comprehended this technique yet.

    “Tell me the Demonic Fetus Parasitism Technique in detail.”

    Lu Changsheng looked at the Kunpeng egg and said after a moment of thought.

    The one who started the trouble should be the one to end it! Since his son had fallen into this situation because of the Demonic Fetus Parasitism Technique, he wanted to see if this secret technique could solve his son’s current situation.

    Moreover, according to his guess, this secret technique could seize and parasitize. If he helped his son complete the parasitism of the Kunpeng hatchling, wouldn’t the problem be solved?

    This way, Lu Quanzhen would not only avoid damage to his foundation but could also take a step forward with the help of the Kunpeng hatchling.

    Lu Quanzhen immediately explained the intricacies of the Demonic Fetus Parasitism Technique in detail.

    The Kunpeng hatchling roared and struggled frantically upon hearing these words but was suppressed by Lu Changsheng and the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror, unable to move.

    “Demonic Fetus Parasitism Technique. What a vicious and domineering secret technique.”

    Even Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but gasp after hearing his son’s explanation.

    The principle of this secret technique was very simple.

    First, seize the opponent’s consciousness, then integrate one’s own flesh and blood into the opponent’s body, plundering everything from it, thus merging into one.

    If Lu Quanzhen parasitized the Kunpeng hatchling, he could inherit many of its innate abilities and characteristics, even transforming into the Kunpeng hatchling and hatching from the egg.

    This seemed to have many benefits, but given his son’s current situation, it would be difficult to seize and parasitize this Kunpeng hatchling.

    Even if he reluctantly completed the seizure and parasitism with his help, he would likely be affected. At that time, it would be unclear whether it was Lu Quanzhen or the Kunpeng hatchling.

    “This technique is too strange and domineering. Given your current situation, it’s also difficult to seize and parasitize this Kunpeng.”

    Lu Changsheng said solemnly.

    “Father, I have a method that won’t damage my foundation, but doing so would be a serious waste of this Kunpeng hatchling.”

    Lu Quanzhen, upon hearing his father’s words, continued.

    “What method?”

    Lu Changsheng asked.

    “During this time, I’ve been parasitizing it and obtained the Kunpeng’s inheritance. My Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Demon Art has also advanced further.”

    “If Father can suppress it, I can devour and plunder its essence to achieve demonic fetus rebirth. But if I do this, this Kunpeng hatchling will likely be half crippled, with no cultivation value.”

    Lu Quanzhen said.

    Through parasitizing this Kunpeng hatchling, he deeply understood its cultivation value.

    Once born, it would be a third-rank top-tier demon king, not some initial, middle, or late stage! And with a True Spirit bloodline, this Kunpeng hatchling had unlimited potential.

    If it could be enslaved and cultivated, it would become a great asset!

    If he devoured and refined it for his demonic fetus transformation, although he would gain many benefits, elevating his Kunpeng Demon Body and Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Demon Art to a level of infinite potential, it would be a waste for the family.

    “Kunpeng inheritance, demonic fetus rebirth?”

    Lu Changsheng frowned, asking his son for details.

    After a while, he understood that this had a similar effect to the Demonic Fetus Parasitism Technique.

    It was to use the Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Demon Art to turn the Kunpeng hatchling into nourishment for the demonic fetus, completing an alternative rebirth.

    “Alright, I’ll think about it. Right now, many Nascent Soul cultivators are gathered outside, all searching for the Kunpeng egg. It’s not convenient to stay here for long. After we escape, I’ll help you with the demonic fetus rebirth.”

    Lu Changsheng said after a moment of thought.

    He didn’t think that his son refining the Kunpeng hatchling would be too much of a waste.

    On the one hand, this Kunpeng hatchling already had consciousness. The probability of taming it was very low, it could only be enslaved and cultivated.

    Although enslaving and cultivating it had great value, it was only average for Lu Changsheng.

    Its only use might be to give the Lu family disciples another choice when practicing the True Spirit Nine Transformations.

    On the other hand, if Lu Quanzhen used the Kunpeng hatchling to complete his demonic fetus transformation, his strength and talent would be greatly enhanced.

    Not to mention, his Kunpeng Demon Body could at least be elevated to a top-tier Spirit Body!

    And his own Chaos Body could also be improved, equivalent to a double benefit, so it wouldn’t be too much of a loss.

    “Many Nascent Soul cultivators.”

    Lu Quanzhen instantly understood that his escape from the Kunpeng Nest secret realm by activating the teleportation array had still attracted the attention of the Starry Sea’s Nascent Soul True Lords. He hadn’t completely escaped danger.

    The moment the Kunpeng hatchling broke out of its shell, it would likely attract many Nascent Soul cultivators.

    At this moment, Lu Quanzhen felt a lingering fear.

    If that happened, he, who was parasitizing the Kunpeng hatchling, would almost certainly die.

    Thinking of his father finding him under the noses of so many Nascent Soul cultivators, Lu Quanzhen felt a surge of complicated emotions.

    “Thank you for your hard work, Father.”

    Lu Quanzhen said in a low voice, his emotions indescribable.

    After all, when he was in the Jin Kingdom, he had provoked True Lord Guima, causing his father to intervene and even storm the Yin Ghost Sect.

    Now, coming to the Starry Sea, he had caused his father to risk danger to save him again.

    “I’ll seal the Kunpeng hatchling first. If you feel any discomfort, tell me.”

    Lu Changsheng placed his hand on his chest, sealing light intertwining, wanting to seal all of the Kunpeng hatchling’s divine power to prevent it from harming Lu Quanzhen.

    After doing this, Lu Changsheng asked Lu Quanzhen if he felt any discomfort or if he would be affected.

    “Father, as long as the Kunpeng hatchling can’t harm me, I’ll be fine for a short time.”

    Lu Quanzhen instantly felt that all his magical energy was sealed and immobile, he spoke. Then, as if thinking of something, he said, “Father, there are many treasures from the previous Kunpeng secret realm inside this Kunpeng egg. You can see if you can take them out, they might be helpful to you.”
