Chapter 1186: Eggshell Breaks, God Emerges (Fourth Update)
Before his eyes was the terrifying sight of the entire universe being destroyed, all matter returning to energy. Before this dreadful force, all Dao techniques and divine powers were utterly useless!
Even Qin Mu himself could feel 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 being torn apart!
He looked back and saw an ancient, colossal tree standing tall amidst the dying universe, lush and verdant, surrounded by countless rays of multicolored light.
"So this is the true body of the Great Dark Tree..."
He wanted to return to that divine tree, but as he lifted his foot, he saw that his sole had already turned to ashes.
Qin Mu's face showed terror. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. He hastily took out the ancient god egg that granted all requests. The egg sensed the anomaly before it in an instant, seemingly aware that disaster was imminent. Countless magnificent Dao runes flew out from within the egg, resisting the terrifying fluctuations of the universe's destruction.
Qin Mu immediately felt the pressure lighten. He activated the Overlord Body Three Elixirs Art, and his foot rapidly regrew. Raising the ancient god egg high, he charged toward that divine tree.
Resounding Dao sounds came from within the ancient god egg, waves of Dao tones resisting the world-destroying impact.
One person and one egg shot toward the divine tree like two streaks of light.
The ancient god egg was furious. Although it knew full well that Qin Mu had brought it into this perilous 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 to Qin Mu, but was in truth extremely far away. Unfathomably terrifying energy surged forth, pressing down on the ancient god egg, causing cracking sounds to ring out from it.
This ancient god egg could be crushed at any moment!
Qin Mu roared in fury, pouring every ounce of his strength into his legs, charging forward madly, his speed reaching an unprecedented extreme!
He felt space cease to exist. At ultimate speed, there was no space, no time!
Finally, he reached the base of the divine tree.
But at that moment, a world-destroying wave of energy surged forth, crushing the safe zone the ancient god egg had maintained, pressing down on the egg until it burst apart with crackling sounds. Fragments of shell flew in all directions, even cutting Qin Mu's cheeks!
He used his last ounce of strength to rush beneath the tree, both hands holding high a large piece of eggshell. Divine light soared from within the shell, illuminating the divine tree in brilliant colors.
Just as he reached the base of the tree, the world suddenly darkened, as if he had crossed from one universe into another.
Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he had returned to the Great Dark Mountain. His legs went weak, and he staggered forward several hundred more li before barely managing to stop.
Suddenly, he felt his hands grow lighter. He hastily looked up and saw that the half eggshell was completely empty, with only some egg fluid remaining. The ancient god that had been inside the egg had vanished without a trace!
Qin Mu held the enormous eggshell and egg fluid, his heart filled with terror. He quickly looked around, but saw no sign of that ancient god.
"Did that ancient god remain in the previous universe, or did he escape along with me when I fled back?"
Qin Mu steadied himself, a vague sense of unease stirring in his heart.
If that ancient god had remained in the previous universe, he would surely have perished, annihilated along with that universe.
If he had escaped back together with him, then he would certainly hold a grudge against Qin Mu for nearly bringing him to his death. Moreover, having been forced to emerge before maturity, his cultivation and strength would both be far inferior to a fully matured form.
This enmity was deeply entrenched!
Qin Mu was deeply worried. The reason he had worked so frantically to decipher the Dao runes of the Grand Beginning Egg was not only to rescue Heavenly Lord Ling and Wei Suifeng, but also to learn what that ancient god had been discussing with Grand Beginning.
Now, although he had cracked the Grand Beginning Dao runes, the ancient god from the all-request-granting divine egg had escaped, and had formed such a deep grudge. This would surely cause trouble in the future!
"I hope he died in that previous universe... Huh, this egg fluid smells delicious—"
Qin Mu suddenly felt his appetite stir. He lifted the great eggshell and carefully took a small sip: "So fragrant! No wonder that ancient god was unwilling to come out of his shell! Damn, this sip was a bit too much. It seems I can't refine it..."
The next day, as dawn was just breaking, everything beyond the hundred thousand Black Mountains was calm. The world-destroying terror of last night had vanished, and the Ancestral Court remained as it always was, without any change.
Qin Mu clutched his stomach, his brows furrowed tightly. He had drunk a mouthful of egg fluid last night, and now his belly felt heavy and increasingly uncomfortable.
Sometimes it felt like a heavenly river surging within him, sometimes like a giant beast churning seas and rivers, sometimes so heavy it felt like a hundred Mount Sumerus were stuffed inside, and sometimes like a sun was hidden there, roasting his organs until they felt scorched.
That mouthful of egg fluid seemed able to transform into countless forms within his body, completely impossible to digest!
He could sense the extremely surging, abundant energy within the egg fluid, yet not only could he not refine it, it had become a burden to him.
"I can't just eat random things anymore. This egg fluid is more poisonous than Master Medicine'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 water bucket walked toward that mountain.
Qin Mu was momentarily startled, then greeted her with a bow: "Brother Grand Easy!"
That woman was indeed Grand Easy. 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 Dark Mountain after dark. Grand Simplicity also emerged early because of you. The karmic bond between you two is not small."
Qin Mu endured the severe 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 harbor ill intentions."
Qin Mu frowned.
The woman laughed: "You ate her egg fluid? That is the substance of her enlightenment. This karmic bond runs even deeper."
Qin Mu humbly sought guidance: "How can this enmity be resolved?"
"It cannot be resolved."
The woman shook her head: "She already harbored doubts because of Grand Beginning's emergence, and after being dug out by the Creator race, she trusts no one. She also has ambitions; conflict with you all was only a matter of time. Lord Mu, I can, however, teach you a way to refine the egg fluid."
Qin Mu's heart stirred.
The woman continued: "Grand Simplicity emerged within the Grand Simplicity mineral vein. If she absorbs the power of Grand Simplicity divine stones and Grand Simplicity primal stones, she can refine the egg fluid and master the Grand Simplicity Great Dao. If you use Grand Simplicity divine stones, you can dissolve the energy within the egg fluid."
Qin Mu bowed and thanked her. The woman laughed: "I am also thinking of the future, which is why I am guiding you. Besides, I have taken advantage of you—even if I did not tell you, you would soon discover the function of Grand Simplicity divine stones." With that, she carried her water bucket toward the split Black Mountain.
Dragon Qilin and Yan'er had already arrived there. Seeing Qin Mu still within the hundred thousand Black Mountains, Dragon Qilin hastily rushed over. Qin Mu instructed: "Warn everyone that they absolutely must not go out at night, or they will surely die! Remember this, remember this!"
Dragon Qilin was startled and blurted out: "Sect Master, did you go out at night?"
Qin Mu's face flushed slightly: "Don't ask."
Dragon Qilin watched him walk away, thinking to himself: "I already told everyone not to go out at night. Even that mischievous Jiang Yunjian doesn't dare leave. Only the Sect Master, with his insatiable curiosity, after witnessing the terror of universal destruction, would still go trotting out the door..."
