Chapter 1541: Chapter 1541: The Remaining Mysterious Egg!

Joking? Even if Bai Liang were a dog, he’s still his, Jiang Xiaobai’s, friend. If he’s been snatched away and Jiang Xiaobai does nothing, can he still call himself Jiang Xiaobai?

Moreover, these black tendrils are related to the secrets of this hidden place; it’s very likely that these were the same kind of tendrils the priests battled with back in the day.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai charging in, Gu Ning immediately followed suit, at the same time shouting to the others.

“Get out of here first, protect Qiongyu and the others, and don’t get into any danger!”

“With me here, nothing will happen to him.”

After saying that, Gu Ning also dove into the unfathomably deep underground space, leaving the onlookers exchanging glances, with Qin Ruonan clenching her fists and grinding her teeth.

“I’m so pissed off, why is this guy so rash? I want to go down there and have a look too, but now all we can do is stand here and watch.”

Gong Yuxin, grasping Qin Ruonan’s hand: “Demon Lord, let it go, it’s fine for us to stay out here. Rushing in now might lead to other dangers,”

In the end, Qin Ruonan managed to refrain from charging in and, taking Qiongyu and the others, left the place. After all, there were other cultivators inside this hidden place, and the people from the Earth Immortal realm were no simple characters; there were quite a few Immortal Sovereigns, too.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai and Gu Ning, one after the other, rushed into the abyss, yet they felt no sense of danger.

“Strange, why isn’t there any attack?”

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow: “Charging into its territory like this, and the tendrils don’t make a move?”

“Do you actually want to be besieged?”

Gu Ning rolled her eyes: “Xiaobai, you’re a bit too impulsive. What if you came in alone and something happened to Qiongyu and the others outside?”

“It’s urgent, isn’t it? Bai Liang’s strength is almost enough to crush an Immortal Sovereign, yet he was dragged away without a chance to resist. I’m worried something might happen to him.”

Jiang Xiaobai calmed down, realizing he had indeed been too impetuous, and at the same time felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Although he was usually extremely protective, under normal circumstances he would be very calm at times like these. But why did he lose control this time and charge in?

He thought about the influence of that power!

“Damn it, has it already subtly influenced me?”

Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth. Indeed, the side effects were terrifying.

Every time his Black and Red Heavenly Dao Wheel started spinning, he would be affected. Perhaps last time he had fought too hard against that guy, which led to severe lingering effects.

At that moment, Gu Ning patted Jiang Xiaobai on the head: “Found the trail, follow me.”

As an Immortal Emperor, Gu Ning’s methods reached the heavens, and her strength was formidable. Even in a place as pitch-black as this, without a single trace to follow, she would still find Bai Liang’s whereabouts.

Following Gu Ning, they continued to dive deeper. This underground space was vast, like an underworld of its own, except it was pitch-dark and one couldn’t see what was going on at all.

Not long into their rush, Gu Ning suddenly stretched out her hand towards the left, and a snapping sound was heard.

She had grabbed a black tendril and forcefully pulled it out from the nearby mountain rock!

With a thud, the tendril snapped, and black liquid splattered.

“Watch out, this liquid is extremely corrosive!”

Jiang Xiaobai immediately dodged, managing to avoid contamination. At the same time, his divine senses perceived the soil and rocks tainted by the liquid bizarrely starting to dissolve!

“Is its corrosive effect this terrifying?”

Jiang Xiaobai was alarmed as he looked at the tendril in Gu Ning’s hand.

The black tendril struggled for a while and then fell motionless, looking like an octopus tentacle with suction cups on it.

“We can be sure that the owner of this thing is a creature, but for tentacles to extend to so many places, this creature’s size must be no small matter.”

Gu Ning said: “It’s possible that it’s the same enemy that waged war against those powerhouses back then.”

“Then what are we waiting for, let’s move, if we don’t hurry Bai Liang will be completely devoured!” implored Jiang Xiaobai urgently.

“He’s right below, still alive, no worries,” Gu Ning whispered and led Jiang Xiaobai further down. Along the way, they were ambushed several times by those ubiquitous black tendrils.

And Jiang Xiaobai also sensed Bai Liang’s breath, still alive, but very faint.

Suddenly, Gu Ning slapped something in front of him, as if shattering something, followed by a crimson glow shining forth.

“It’s an egg!”

Jiang Xiaobai, startled, looked towards where the red light was emanating and saw an outline.

A giant egg, at least as large as a small hill, materialized before him, surrounded by dense, black tentacles!

“Bai Liang is imprisoned inside, his life force being drained, to nourish the egg!”

Gu Ning, alarmed, said, “Step back, be careful to avoid getting caught in it.”

As Jiang Xiaobai retreated, a terrifying pressure burst forth from Gu Ning, followed by a punch landing on the eggshell!

Boom!

Crack crack!

The huge monstrous egg was smashed to pieces, the red light even more dazzling, followed by a putrid smell coming through.

Roar!

A strange roar emerged from within the shattered egg, as Gu Ning and Jiang Xiaobai charged in to see an immense beast, a mix of bird and tiger!

And around the creature were all black tentacles, which were actually extending from within its own body!

“What is this thing?”

Jiang Xiaobai, hair standing on end, felt the aura emanating from the creature, which had actually reached the Hunyuan Wuji Realm!

But this is only an egg!

If it’s this formidable within the egg, what level of strength will it possess once it hatches?

At that moment, the beast roared, sending a multitude of black tentacles piercing towards Jiang Xiaobai and Gu Ning!

“Break for me!”

Jiang Xiaobai snorted coldly, the sword in his hand bursting with brilliant sword radiance, readily slicing through the tentacles in front, and simultaneously shouting to Gu Ning.

“Master, you deal with this creature, I’ll go rescue Bai Liang!”

The two split up to act – Jiang Xiaobai rushed straight towards Bai Liang, ensnared by the tentacles below, while Gu Ning, with the Innate Demon Suppressing Sword in hand, charged directly at the behemoth.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A series of sword lights burst forth, the black tentacles were severed, and Jiang Xiaobai successfully grabbed Bai Liang and pulled him out.

Meanwhile, Gu Ning decapitated the roaring beast’s head with a single sword strike!

Black blood flowed from the wound, hissing as it corroded everything around it.

“Fortunately, it’s just some loss of life force, a bit of medicinal pill consumption could restore him.”

After checking Bai Liang, Jiang Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, but the man’s body was riddled with holes, evidently having been through severe torture.

Gu Ning, however, was staring at the wound on the beast’s neck, his expression dark.

“Xiaobai, did you sense a presence similar to that of a prismatic space?”

Jiang Xiaobai was startled; he hadn’t noticed until Gu Ning mentioned it, but once brought up, he immediately detected the anomaly!

It was indeed similar to the aura of a prismatic space, in fact, nearly identical!

“Could it be that this creature also came through from the prismatic space?”

“But the prismatic spaces in the intermediary world have all been cleared!”

“If there really is an anomaly, how could heaven not have noticed?”
