Chapter 1993: Roasting Eggs

An Lin gazed at the vast expanse of Heavenly Human eggs before him. If all of these eggs hatched, it was unfathomable just how powerful the resulting Heavenly Human Tribe army would become.

However, he was about to put an end to all this!

He was going to kill this ambitious plan in its cradle!

“Fire!” An Lin flicked his hand.

Rumble…

Like a formidable tsunami, the blazing Supreme Holy Flame surged toward the one billion eggs on Ximing Island. Then, like an expanding carpet of fire, it proliferated outward and instantly cooked the eggs in its path a fiery red. In fact, some of the eggs were even burnt charcoal black.

A peculiar aroma started wafting through the air.

“Hmm? It smells so good…” Lan Xiaoni’s eyes suddenly lit up as she sniffed in the appetizing aroma. “Big Boss An Lin, these eggs smell so good…”

An Lin had naturally smelled this fragrant aroma as well. This was a rich aroma that contained a very high amount of energy.

Demon Lord Ling Gu was even more direct. “These eggs have all been cooked through, right? Such a rich aura… Will I become stronger if I eat all of these eggs…?”

An Lin was shocked. “These are Heavenly Human eggs!”

“Isn’t that even better?” There was a brilliant sparkle in Demon Lord Ling Gu’s blood-red eyes as he waved his skinny arms about. “Us True Demons have also eaten Heavenly Human soldiers. However, they didn’t taste that great. As for these eggs… they smell quite good after being roasted by your flames. I’m sure they taste as good as they smell!”

An Lin was speechless. “Eat them if you want, just don’t ruin your stomach.”

Demon Lord Ling Gu charged toward the eggs like a ravenous wolf upon hearing this. He instantly took the shape of a True Demon God Body, which measured one hundred thousand feet in height, and he released countless tentacles to grab the eggs that were cooking in An Lin’s holy flame. Then, like a savage, he started stuffing his mouth with thousands of eggs at a time.

“Roar… Sect Leader An Lin, can you lower the temperature of your flames? It’s hot…” Demon Lord Ling Gu wailed in pain as he discovered that a portion of his tentacles had been incinerated before they could even grab onto any eggs.

An Lin smiled and shook his head. “No can do. If I lower the temperature, I’m afraid that the eggs won’t cook.”

Demon Lord Ling Gu mulled over this for a second, and he realized that it was indeed the case. As a result, he could only endure the burning pain as he swept huge amounts of Heavenly Human eggs into his mouth. “Mmm… delicious… Ah… it’s so hot, it’s burning my mouth…”

This super mighty being of the True Demon Tribe was stuck in a limbo between agony and ecstasy.

He felt like he was playing a game of “retrieving chestnuts from the fire” with An Lin. Although the flames were terrifying, the chestnuts were truly too delicious to ignore…

Lan Xiaoni couldn’t help but gulp in hunger when she saw this.

She carefully glanced at An Lin, and she found that An Lin didn’t exhibit any desire to eat the eggs. She hesitated for a moment before eventually deciding against eating the eggs.

Meanwhile, the True Element Martial Lord wore an indifferent expression as he gazed at the scenes before him.

Only Demon Lord Ling Gu was feasting on the eggs. Before long, he had already gulped down a few million Heavenly Human eggs. His body was riddled with burns, yet the energy fluctuation within his body was also climbing at an explosive rate.

In no time, An Lin’s Supreme Holy Flame had already enveloped the entire Ximing Island. The earth was melted by the insane temperature of his holy flame, and the one billion Heavenly Human eggs were all thoroughly cooked through.

Heavenly Humans won’t hatch out of cooked eggs, right?

This is a process of going from infancy to maturity…

An Lin smiled as he gazed at the cooked eggs before him. He had finally crushed the paramount Heavenly Gods’ plan!

“Ahhhhh…!” Demon Lord Ling Gu suddenly howled in anguish. His face contorted in agony, and his body thrashed about violently as he collapsed to the ground.

An Lin’s expression changed slightly. “What’s wrong? Is it indigestion?”

“Possibly. Demon Lord Ling Gu wolfed down one hundred million eggs just then…” Lan Xiaoni stroked her chin and nodded.

An Lin: “…”

How bloody large is his stomach?

“I think the main reason is that he ate a black-shelled egg just then,” the True Element Martial Lord speculated.

“Black-shelled egg?” An Lin’s expression faltered as he looked toward the eggs that were still roasting in his holy flame. Out of the nine hundred million remaining Heavenly Human eggs, only fifteen had black shells. It could be said that they were genuinely one in one hundred million.

An Lin’s expression changed again when he recalled what he had seen at the Heavenly Human Holy Land. “If my guess is correct, these black-shelled eggs are most likely for hatching Heavenly Humans of the Divine Heaven Stage…”

Lan Xiaoni and the True Element Martial Lord were both shocked upon hearing this.

Didn’t this mean… that sixteen Heavenly Gods would appear if the eggs before them hatched? Just thinking about this made their flesh crawl…

No wonder the paramount Heavenly Gods viewed these eggs as the Heavenly Human Tribe’s biggest weapon. Not only were these unhatched Heavenly Humans great in number, but they were even extraordinary in quality!

“So, you’re saying that Demon Lord Ling Gu is experiencing indigestion due to swallowing a Heavenly God?” Lan Xiaoni exclaimed in astonishment.

“The Heavenly God egg can’t still be alive, right?” The True Element Martial Lord furrowed his brows.

An Lin shook his head in reply. “I’ve observed the life forces of these eggs, and all of them are already dead. Demon Lord Ling Gu is most likely experiencing genuine indigestion. After all, a Heavenly God is supremely powerful. Even after they die, the density of energy that they possess is still unfathomable. He probably can’t digest the overwhelming energy contained within the egg…”

As he said this, An Lin waved a hand and swept the remaining fifteen black-shelled eggs before him. Then, he started examining them carefully.

These black-shelled eggs were oval-shaped and as tall as a human. They clearly had pointy ends, yet they were uncannily able to stand upright on the ground.

An Lin sensed nothing peculiar about the remaining eggs, and it was only these black-shelled eggs that gave him a unique feeling. This feeling was unexplainable, and it was as if he were instinctively attracted to the black-shelled eggs…

“Does Big Boss An Lin want to eat these eggs?” Lan Xiaoni’s eyes lit up in excitement.

An Lin shook his head and extended a hand toward one of the black-shelled eggs.

Ring…

A strange fluctuation instantly pulsated through his body.

An Lin felt a refreshing sensation wash over him.

“Ding Dong!”

An Lin’s body shuddered. Holy f*ck! What was that sound?

After pondering for a moment, he finally came to a realization. It was his system!

He immediately opened the system in his mind, and he discovered that there was a string of flashing words.

[Detected that the host is in contact with the essential power of Heavenly Gods. Now assigning the following special mission:

[Absorb the essential Heavenly God Power of all the Heavenly Human Black Eggs!

[Mission Success: Perfect strengthening of the divine dao of darkness. Receive the Karma Dual Tribulation Weapon.

[Mission Failure: Host’s two “eggs” will be erased.

[Time Limit: Two hours.

[Note: This mission cannot be rejected. If the time limit is exceeded, this mission will be counted as a failure.]

After reading through the mission, An Lin suddenly felt a cold chill between his legs. The punishment from this system is so full of evil intentions…

Anyhow, the truth had finally become clear.

The black-shelled eggs before them were indeed special—they contained the essential Heavenly God Power!

No wonder… No wonder Heavenly Humans of the Divine Heaven Stage can activate divine halos and wield the power of the Heavenly Dao. Not only that, but they can even activate nine divine halos at once… So, it’s all because of the essential Heavenly God Power within their bodies!

An Lin wasn’t sure how this essential Heavenly God Power would affect him. However, he was certain that it was definitely extremely beneficial!

He took a deep breath.

Then, he placed a hand on a Heavenly Human Black Egg and activated his Engulfment Spell Technique.

Without needing to do anything special, the energy and essential Heavenly God Power of the black-shelled egg started flowing through his arm and into his heart!
