Chapter 569

Zi Chen didn't want to die yet, but under the devouring power of the egg, everything was out of his control.

Life was flowing away, the enormous egg was shining, like a starving infant, gulping down milk. However, what the other party was devouring wasn't real milk, but rather the life force of a king level ancient beast that had lived for countless years.

The old demonic leopard's body was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. A minute later, the old demonic leopard's mountain-like body became shriveled and dissipated with the wind.

The ancient beast king that was still alive just a moment ago disappeared from the world, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

As the old demonic leopard's body dissipated, the egg seemed to have teleported. It emitted a bright light and stuck to the single-horned hound's body. The latter's life force was also flowing away rapidly.

During this period, the Lightning Snake and Zi Chen were both restrained by the devouring power. They couldn't break free, and their life force didn't flow away quickly either.

It seemed that the egg liked to devour them one by one.

"I hope that after it devours the single-horned hound and the Lightning Snake, it will have devoured enough and won't need any more energy." The despairing Zi Chen started to let his imagination run wild.

Images of his friends, brothers, and women flashed across his mind. Wang Xian 'er, Lin Xue, Su Mengyao, and Shangguan Yue' er's faces kept flashing across his mind.

Death wasn't scary. What was scary was waiting for death.

Soon, the single-horned hound was sucked dry and dissipated with a light sound. The egg stuck to the Lightning Snake's body again, and its light became even brighter.

This feeling of waiting for death made Zi Chen even more afraid. Based on the previous speed, it seemed that he only had one minute left to live.

The egg could devour a king beast king in one minute. However, compared to a king beast king, his small body seemed to only be able to devour it once. In other words, he could only last for one breath.

"Haha."

Zi Chen's fear made the Lightning Snake laugh uncontrollably. However, this laughter was filled with sorrow. The king beast king in the distance was even more horrified.

"Peng."

The Lightning Snake shriveled up and dissipated with the wind. Then, the egg stuck to Zi Chen's hand like a ghost.

"Boom!"

Like an overflowing flood, Zi Chen felt his life force and essence Qi crazily rushing towards the giant egg.

After that, Zi Chen's vision turned black and he fell to the ground.

"Bang."

With a loud bang, Zi Chen fell to the ground with the giant egg.

There was a deathly silence between heaven and earth.

The giant egg below was glowing. Zi Chen lay quietly beside the giant egg, one of his hands still tightly pressed against the giant egg.

Above them, the Ancient Beast Kings all had fear in their eyes, and none of them dared to move.

The giant egg was too terrifying. As long as it touched them, they would undoubtedly die. None of the ancient beasts dared to approach.

In this deathly silent world, no sound could be heard, not even the breathing of the ancient beast kings.

After an unknown period of silence, a wisp of confusion suddenly appeared in the eyes of one of the ancient beasts, and then it exclaimed, "Eh, why hasn't that human been transformed into nothingness?"

Previously, when the giant egg devoured a king beast king, it only needed a minute to turn it into a dried corpse and turn it into nothingness. But now, a small human had actually lasted for a few minutes, and there were no signs of him drying up.

The Ancient Beast Kings all noticed the abnormality and looked down in confusion. The giant egg was glowing, and they did not dare to use their spiritual senses. They could only look at it with their eyes.

Vaguely, they seemed to see that the human was still breathing. He was still alive.

"How is this possible?" This discovery caused the expressions of the ancient beasts to change. They found it unbelievable.

A bolder ancient beast retreated far away, and then released its spiritual senses to extend towards the human beside the giant egg, and began to investigate bit by bit.

When it retracted its spiritual senses, the Ancient Beast King's expression became very strange.

"How is it?" The other ancient beasts asked.

The Ancient Beast King's expression became even more strange, and then it said, "He's not dead. He just fainted from fright."

"What? He's not dead? He just fainted from fright? Why?"

This answer was unacceptable to the Ancient Beast Kings. Several Ancient Beast Kings were already dead, let alone a mere human.

"Could it be that there's something wrong with this human? Let's try attacking again." A Ancient Beast King suggested and shot out a ray of energy.

But before this terrifying ray of energy could land on Zi Chen, a ray of light suddenly flashed on the giant egg, and then a light barrier appeared in front of Zi Chen, blocking this ray of energy.

The giant egg could still shoot out energy attacks, and the Ancient Beast Kings became even more frightened.

Zi Chen was indeed not dead. After the giant egg stuck to his body and absorbed his vitality, he fainted from fright and fell to the ground.

Then, he seemed to have a dream. In the dream, he saw all the people he wanted to see. Su Mengyao returned to the Floating Mist Sect and was regarded as a goddess. Countless Floating Mist Sect disciples looked up to her with fanatical expressions.

Wang Xian 'er returned to Yunxia City. With her powerful combat strength, she defeated her father, suppressed Wang Qiong, and became the number one expert in Yunxia City.

After Lin Xue returned to the Liu Family, she went into seclusion again to comprehend Qing Nu's inheritance. Other than that, he also saw many friends. Each of them had powerful combat strength, and they had all become experts.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared in front of Zi Chen. It was a figure in snow-white clothes, standing at the top of Chaos City. There were still traces of tears on her peerless face.

In her hand was a short dagger, and the tip of the dagger was already pointed at her heart, as if she was going to commit suicide.

Below, there were many onlookers. When these people saw that the beautiful figure was going to commit suicide, not only did they not stop her, they even laughed out loud.

In the midst of the laughter, Zi Chen realized that there were people he knew. There was Shangguan Qixiang, Chen Liang, Zhou Xun, and the others. They all had hideous smiles on their faces, and there was a huge drum beside them, which they were beating continuously to celebrate.

"This bunch of bastards, seeing someone committing suicide, they didn't even help. And Shangguan Qixiang, isn't he dead?"

Towards these people's indifference, Zi Chen was shocked and angry, but he was also very confused. No matter how loudly he shouted, they did not hear him at all. Instead, they continued to beat the drum, making it vibrate.

In desperation, Zi Chen could only look at the beautiful figure, hoping that she would give up on the idea of suicide. He did not know why, but the moment he saw the beautiful figure, he felt a sense of deja vu. However, he could not see the other party's face, only a blurry face.

"Three years, I waited for you for three years, but you didn't come." The beautiful figure was muttering to herself, but Zi Chen could hear it very clearly.

Just from the muttering, Zi Chen recognized the identity of the beautiful figure. It was actually Shangguan Yue 'er.

"No, Yue 'er."

With the last drop of tears falling, Shangguan Yue 'er stabbed the dagger to her heart. Zi Chen let out a cry of alarm, and then sat up abruptly.

His forehead was full of cold sweat, obviously due to the shock. He shouted, "Don't die, don't die!"

As he shouted, Zi Chen felt a chill, and he could not help but shiver. Then, he saw that he was sitting on the ground, and next to him was the huge egg. As for Chaos City, the big hammer, and many more people, they had all disappeared.

In the sky, a group of king level ancient beasts were attacking him, but before these attacks could land on him, they were blocked by a ray of light, and then there was a 'dong' sound, like the sound of a drum.

"This is …" The disoriented Zi Chen instantly woke up, and his eyes widened.

"Didn't I die? Why am I still alive?"

He looked to the side, and just happened to see the huge egg next to his right hand. In the next moment, he pulled his right hand back as if it was tapped.

"You're awake." A timid and tender voice suddenly appeared in Zi Chen's mind.

Hearing this voice, Zi Chen's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He looked at the light egg in front of him in disbelief, and said in shock, "It's you, it's you who spoke."

The moment the voice had sounded in his sea of consciousness, Zi Chen had a clear feeling that the voice had come from the huge egg.

"Yes, yes."

The timid and tender voice sounded again. "I, I saw that you fainted, and I was afraid that you were in danger, so I kept calling you."

This voice transmission was not coherent, but fortunately, the meaning was clear, and Zi Chen understood.

"You were afraid that I was in danger."

Zi Chen's face was full of confusion, and his expression kept changing. He looked at the huge egg, and then looked up at the king level ancient beasts.

Only then did Zi Chen realize that it was the light from the huge egg that blocked the king level ancient beasts' attacks.

"What's going on? Didn't it want to devour me? Why is it saving me?" Zi Chen was very confused.

"I, I didn't want to devour you. You woke me up."

The voice from the huge egg sounded again. This time, it was a little anxious and a little scared, but it was more agile.

"You, you can hear the voice in my heart." Zi Chen was shocked again. One must know that he was only muttering in his heart, and did not speak out.

"You woke me up, and even injected your life soul power into me. It's like our lives are connected, so I can sense your thoughts." A timid voice sounded from the egg.

Indeed, this time, the other party did not transmit its voice, but Zi Chen could hear it clearly.

"Ah, our lives are connected." Zi Chen exclaimed.

The development of the situation was beyond his expectations, but this was not the time to be in a daze, because the king level ancient beasts' attacks in the sky were getting fiercer.

"Their attacks are very strong. I've just been awakened, and I don't have any strength. I can't take it anymore." The light egg was still thinking in its heart, and both parties were communicating through their thoughts.

Zi Chen's eyes narrowed. Without any strength, it could block the king level ancient beasts' attacks. Then, what would happen if it had strength? Would it be able to kill the king level ancient beasts?

"How can I make you stronger?" Zi Chen asked.

"Devour, continuously devour."

"Understood."
