Chapter 1000: Dragon Egg

The fight in the void released devastating waves and ravaged the land. This was a monumental yet frightening spectacle to behold.

As for Feiyun, he was relatively nervous despite wearing his special armor. He saw a large lair on top of the meteor.

It was made from silver and gold strings. Each was as thin as a strand of hair yet weighed as much as a mountain. They contained immense power and would cut anything upon contact, even the toughest metal.

Fortunately, Feiyun’s armor was strong enough to withstand them.

What is in this lair? Enough to make a dragon betray its race and protect it for years to come. Feiyun was curious and nervous. Something was calling him.

He entered the nest and saw boundless light engulfing a blue item.

It was a one-meter-tall egg, round and divine. Draconic energies coursed on the surface. They have been tempered well and would crush Feiyun if it wasn’t for his armor.

“A… dragon egg?” He found this unbelievable.

How could an egg have such a monstrous aura? Normally, phoenixes and dragons were hatched at the first level of Heaven’s Mandate. A few special ones could only be at the sixth level at best.

“It’s broken?” His eyes became wide open when he noticed a large hole in the egg. Auspicious light and a clear fragrance poured out from within.

He calculated and thought that it must have been there since ten thousand years ago. So did the baby dragon die or did it manage to come out? The former was rather unlikely.

Eighty thousand years ago, an expert of the dragon race must have carried this egg and escaped to human territories. Alas, this dragon was killed along the way and its corpse was brought back to Nine-abyss.

However, this heralded a disaster for the city. A messenger of the dragon race came, perhaps wanting to take back this egg.

For some reason, the members of Nine-abyss had no idea about the egg and a battle ensued. The messenger died but the city was also destroyed.

Another dragon came afterward and sank the entire city along with the corpse and dragon egg. Everything was buried in history. The question was why?

If Nine-abyss knew about the egg, they would have handed it over. Thus, they had no idea bout its existence.

Feiyun calculated with his Grand Change Art but didn’t notice the details. Someone had erased all traces of this matter.

‘Why did that dragon risk becoming a traitor to take the egg out? What was its status?’ He wondered.

Dragons and phoenixes had low reproductive capability so they didn’t have that many members. Each egg was considered extremely precious and heavily guarded. contemporary romance

It should have been safe back in the tribe. Why did the corpse take such a heavy risk? Did others want to harm it?

‘Hmm, judging by its power, this baby must have been incredible. Where is it now? If it’s still alive, it should be a monstrous cultivator at this point.’

Dragons were blessed at birth. All of them could obtain six rebirths; the more talented ones could easily do the seventh. Of course, the eighth remained difficult.

Moreover, they didn’t need to cultivate to grow in strength. They were considered adults at the first level of Heaven’s Emergence. Even the laziest ones could reach this realm.

Among humans, there might not be a genius capable of reaching the sixth rebirth out of a trillion while every dragon could do so.

A human with six rebirths would be highly celebrated and revered while a dragon would only be considered average.

Therefore, the baby from ten thousand years ago should be in a frightening realm now. Did it go back to the dragon race for revenge or somewhere else?

Feiyun touched the shell and its blue radiance. A strange feeling permeated him - warm like a mother’s embrace.

The demon blood within him churned chaotically again.

“Boom!” His head seemingly exploded as he trembled violently. Everything started spinning and scales appeared again. His body gradually became ferocious, seemingly turning into an evil dragon.

He grabbed his head since this was a pain reaching the soul and bones. He stumbled and hit his head against the egg shell.

‘Am I going to die?’ He had never felt so much pain before. His bones felt like they were crumbling into dust. Blood seeped out from his pores, turning him into a bloody figure.

Spectators watching from a distance felt a chill running down their pain. They could only imagine his current pain.

He inadvertently entered the hole of the egg and assumed the fetal position. A familiar presence entered and alleviated his pain.

He calmed down and sat in the meditative pose. He took deep breaths and absorbed the leftover draconic energy.

During meditation, he saw a figure made from draconic energy - a beauty that was familiar yet not. She had a pair of horns on her head.

“Aren’t all dragons male? Why is there a woman?” He questioned.

At the same time, he suddenly realized something…

The horned woman’s eyes looked sad as she reached forward and caressed his face.

He woke up from the meditation and his eyes shot out two bright rays. He couldn’t help but blurt: “Mother!”

Everything suddenly disappeared. Only pulsing golden and silver strings were left.

The egg’s remaining energy has been used up and collapsed into pieces. A gust came by and blew it all away.

‘My bloodline is actually draconic? No, impossible, dragons are all male and phoenixes are all female.’ His body trembled while the corner of his eyes was slightly moistened.

This was an established fact. Of course, there was an exception - Feng Feiyun himself.

He, the first male phoenix, was considered an abomination. He was hated and even hunted since his youth.

However, he rose up against the circumstances and eventually defeated the seven phoenix queens. His power overwhelmed all dissidents so he became their clan leader.

Alas, he thought about it again and everything in the past seemed like a dream.

‘Was it really just a dream?’

If it wasn’t for Shui Yueting being real along with his phoenix soul, he would truly doubt himself.

‘Looks like the phrase is true, life is just like a dream.’ He shook his head and smiled wryly, no longer thinking about his previous life.

He stood up and heard crackles from his bones. He closed his eyes for an internal observation and found that he had three more phoenix bones.

The total was thirty-six now.

He also found himself to have finished another rebirth after absorbing this energy. This was truly astonishing.
