Chapter 737: Primal Creature!
Primal Creature! . . .
Brother Egg had absorbed an incredible amount of soul power, including the soul of Gu Jinlong and millions of ordinary souls. On top of that, it had inadvertently absorbed the Ancient Natural Power, an exceptionally precious form of energy.
Even for someone as knowledgeable as Xiao Monarch, a Dao Origin Stage cultivator, it was an enigma what kind of creature could have such insatiable requirements. It had to be an extraordinary and powerful being in the universe, considering the extraordinary needs it displayed.
The energy required was massive—an endless supply of spiritual qi and an amount that could potentially hatch over a thousand dragons. Yet Cha Eun Xiao didn\'t dare to approach Brother Egg recklessly, despite being its owner. Although it was technically under his ownership, he was cautious and didn\'t want to risk damaging it. At that moment, Brother Egg appeared far less intimidating than when it had brutally crushed someone. It resembled nothing more than an ordinary egg, at least in its physical appearance.
"Come on, why don\'t you hatch already?" Cha Eun Xiao asked Brother Egg casually, not expecting any response. After all, Brother Egg didn\'t appear as remarkable as it had before.
However, to his surprise, Cha Eun Xiao felt a stream of consciousness. "Is this Brother Egg asking for help?"
Brother Egg\'s silent plea for assistance was evident.
"Help you hatch? But how can I help with that?" Cha Eun Xiao asked. "Do you want me to crack your shell?"
In the next instant, a stream of consciousness surged into Cha Eun Xiao\'s mind, resonating with a deafening sound in his head. Subsequently, a few words appeared in his mind: \'Blood of the conqueror, souls of living beings, ancient natural qi, heart of the dominator; Primal Creature is born.\'
These cryptic words were presented without elaboration.
"What... What does this mean? Can you be more specific?" Cha Eun Xiao was perplexed. "What should I do?"
Brother Egg continued to urge him through the mind connection. It was evidently eager to hatch.
"Come on, stop saying \'do something\' and tell me what to do!" Cha Eun Xiao was growing anxious. "But \'blood of the conqueror\' and \'heart of the dominator\'? Where am I supposed to find those?"
Brother Egg paused for a moment before addressing Cha Eun Xiao through their mental link. "It is you… You, you, you, you, you…"
"What do you mean, \'it\'s me\'? Do I possess that blood and that heart?" Cha Eun Xiao was taken aback. "Am I really the conqueror and the dominator?"
He had always held a high opinion of himself, but this notion seemed excessive.
"Who told you that?" he inquired.
Brother Egg, in its haste, insisted. "I will perish in here if you continue to question and delay…"
Cha Eun Xiao felt pressured but uncertain. "Alright, I\'ll do as you say."
Brother Egg communicated its instructions telepathically. Cha Eun Xiao considered the directive before taking a deep breath and stepping closer to Brother Egg. He then focused his spiritual qi, and with a sudden red flush on his face, he spat out a mouthful of blood that splashed onto Brother Egg.
The blood he expelled originated from his heart. When it touched Brother Egg\'s shell, it vanished, and simultaneously, the shell was covered in blood streaks that suddenly appeared.
Cha Eun Xiao wasn\'t taken aback by the unusual turn of events. He promptly sliced his finger with a fingernail, coaxing forth his own blood, which he then used to stain every square inch of the eggshell. The act imbued him with an inexplicable sensation, and he proclaimed in a sonorous voice, "As the conqueror, the dominator, I link my soul to you and stain you with my blood. Ancient natural qi meets the souls of the living. Hatch, my beloved pet. Spiritual creature of chaos, show yourself! From now on, you will stay beside me to the end of the firmament, sharing my joy as I conquer the world!"
Cha Eun Xiao articulated these words even though he couldn\'t quite fathom how or why he was saying them. Nonetheless, he surrendered to the moment. Before completing his statement, his finger emanated a faint glow, and he tapped the eggshell. "Come, Primal Spirit!"
—Crack!—
The eggshell fractured into eight identical pieces, like an opening lotus blossom. Simultaneously, a surging and tumultuous spiritual qi burst forth, filling the entire Boundless Space with dense, palpable energy that made it difficult for Cha Eun Xiao to breathe. The spiritual qi was so exquisite in both quality and quantity that it was almost a tangible substance. Nonetheless, Cha Eun Xiao had no interest in absorbing it.
The overwhelming astonishment was not caused by the spiritual qi but by the extraordinary event that had just transpired. It left him gaping, and he had to quickly close his mouth to avoid choking.
In the center of the eight shattered shell fragments lay a small, white, furry, and slightly damp creature in a rather nonchalant posture. It stared at Cha Eun Xiao with a sleepy gaze, not bothering to move as it lazily greeted him with a soft, "...Meow."
Cha Eun Xiao was absolutely flabbergasted by what he was witnessing. His eyes widened so significantly that they seemed on the verge of exploding in the air.
"What am I even looking at here?" he pondered frantically. "What on earth is that thing I\'m seeing? I\'ve been eagerly anticipating this moment, and I\'ve speculated countless times about what this primal spirit creature might be. And now... it turns out to be... a... a... a damned cat? An oviparous cat?"
