Wu Bayi’s eyes burned with even more intensity. Eight wings and twelve wings—they are two different concepts. If he integrates the potential of his eight wings with the talent of twelve wings, could he... could he surpass twelve wings and become the most powerful Moon God in time?
The Eternal Night Demon King hasn’t appeared for a long time. Back then, he went to search for the remaining Human Race in Hanxia and was severely injured by Daoist Qingde from the Human Race. He still hasn’t fully recovered.
If he steps into the Immortal Realm, wouldn’t his status replace that of the Eternal Night Demon King and make him the new leader of the Moon Gods in the future?
Once this thought entered his mind, it immediately took root and grew like a malignant tumor within him, making it impossible for him to shake off the idea.
Gradually, Wu Bayi’s face began to twist. Once, he had a kind and approachable expression, but now his demeanor turned extremely ferocious, with feathers falling off and various lumps emerging from his body.
He had the intent to kill!
Although the divine egg had a strong oppressive force, it was no match for him at all. Celestial maiden Guanghui was right; there were no other kin here aware of the situation. As long as he took action, it wouldn’t be exposed!
Determined to awaken, Wu Bayi grabbed the divine egg with intense eyes!
Their race doesn’t care about emotions; as long as it’s beneficial to themselves, any means can be used.
This naturally includes devouring their kin!
The guard at the entrance of the incubation pool opened again. As soon as the two guards at the door turned their heads, they were subdued by Xiang Beifei in an instant, without even realizing how they got out.
Uncle Liang and the other two finally returned to normal after leaving the oppressive force of the divine egg, looking at Xiang Beifei with uncertainty.
"Beifei, was that a demigod just now?" Uncle Liang broke out in a cold sweat.
"Almost." Xiang Beifei nodded slightly.
"His strength was terrifying." Jiang Shan said, his heart still pounding.
"Now is not the time to talk. I need to act on my own next. It’s been hard work for you all."
"Are you sure you don’t need to rely on us anymore? If we can rescue Senior Helian, we are willing to make sacrifices." Uncle Liang wiped the sweat off his forehead, showing his resolve.
"No need. It’s enough to enter the incubation pool."
Xiang Beifei took out the breath soil blocks he had been engraving these past few days, using the Sleeves Universe method to open up a movable space within them.
"If you need us to provide any cover, feel free to say so." Jiang Feng said.
Xiang Beifei waved his hand, and brought them into the breath soil block.
After doing all this, he looked up and asked: "Where is the Jiuzhou human you’re suppressing?"
Celestial maiden Guanghui said: "At the end of the blood pool."
"Take me there." Xiang Beifei said without hesitation.
Celestial maiden Guanghui had no way to resist Xiang Beifei’s orders and could only turn around and walk down.
"You’re making me lure my master to devour that divine egg. If my master truly steps into the Immortal Realm, you won’t have a good ending!" She said coldly as she walked.
"He has to be able to devour it in the first place."
Xiang Beifei followed Celestial maiden Guanghui calmly.
Celestial maiden Guanghui’s heart skipped a beat, and she asked: "What do you mean?"
"What? Forgotten so soon?" Xiang Beifei retorted.
Celestial maiden Guanghui carefully pondered over Xiang Beifei’s words and suddenly realized something, looking at him with shock: "You... you can’t be..."
"Seems like you’re not that stupid."
The divine egg created by Xiang Beifei wasn’t something that could be easily devoured. Back in Changpan Valley, he had shattered a divine egg in front of celestial maiden Guanghui!
This divine egg contained his power; he even hoped that Wu Bayi would devour and refine it. When the time came, with his power inside Wu Bayi, he could decide when to trigger that power according to his desire.
"By the way, maybe I should create more divine eggs for you all to devour."
Xiang Beifei had no clear understanding of why he could create the divine egg; he could only speculate.
The talent of the winged monster came from within every human, which meant those eggs deprived humans of their talents. As the Dao Master, Xiang Beifei was above every human’s talent and could manipulate the human Dao embryo, thereby indirectly toying with the quality of these eggs.
Celestial maiden Guanghui felt her heart grow cold!
She spoke those words out of sheer helplessness and even prompted Wu Bayi to devour that divine egg. What would happen if Xiang Beifei detonated that divine egg?
Celestial maiden Guanghui dared not think further. She was furious, yet she found herself unable to resist at all, forced to obediently lead Xiang Beifei to their destination.
The incubation pool was within the Moon God Palace, floating above the abyss. Many powerful presences lurked within those buildings, and Xiang Beifei could sense over a hundred Heavenly Connection experts!
This number was truly terrifying!
These Dao presences crossed in the air from time to time as if searching for something. If an ordinary cultivator entered here, they would definitely expose their target and be immediately locked onto and exterminated by over a hundred Heavenly Connection experts!
Fortunately, Xiang Beifei had strong Orifice Perception to protect himself.
He could also sense three very profound powers hiding their presence deliberately. Though subtle, they were still perceived by Xiang Beifei.
If Xiang Beifei wasn’t mistaken, these three presences should belong to those ten-winged winged monsters!
"Does your race have three ten-winged experts?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Yes," celestial maiden Guanghui replied bitterly, "they are Immortal Realm experts!"
Xiang Beifei fell into thoughtful silence. He had thought Wu Bayi was troublesome enough, yet he had not anticipated the existence of even more formidable beings.
These three ten-winged winged monsters were beyond his capability to handle. The difference in power between the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Connection Realm was something he had witnessed before.
Celestial maiden Guanghui led Xiang Beifei further down into the abyss. It was bottomless, pitch black; even Xiang Beifei could not ascertain what lay below.
However, they did not descend far; at about four to five hundred meters, celestial maiden Guanghui stopped. At this point, a roaring sound emanated from below, like ocean waves crashing and roaring loudly.
A terrifying giant tail suddenly swept up from the mist below, carrying a sharp aura that lashed toward them, like a blade carrying an indescribable dark energy, swiftly reaching them!
Celestial maiden Guanghui leaped up, dodging the tail’s attack. The tail missed its target and fell straight down, crashing into the mist below, shaking the air with a deafening thunder.
"What is this?" Xiang Beifei asked in astonishment.
The power of that tail was at least at the Orifice Transforming stage, and more than that, Xiang Beifei could faintly sense countless powerful presences darting around in the depths below, extremely agitated.
Celestial maiden Guanghui said coldly, "This is the Underworld. Haven’t you always wanted to come here to save someone?"
After speaking, she suddenly showed a faint, strange smile.
"And what else?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"I don’t know the specifics below, because it’s beyond the scope of my cultivation level. The only thing I can tell you is that this is not a good place. Cultivators who foolishly try to barge in alone usually never return!"
Though celestial maiden Guanghui was of eight-wing quality, there were many winged monsters stronger than her here.
"Where is Helian Zheng imprisoned?" Xiang Beifei asked again.
"Cultivators who still have some use are imprisoned in the Underworld Hell. They undergo unimaginable suffering, with their minds teetering on the brink of insanity."
After speaking, celestial maiden Guanghui said indifferently, "But if you ask me how to get to the Underworld Hell, then I’m powerless. Only elders at the Heavenly Connection Realm have the qualification to enter and leave the Underworld Hell."
The winged monsters are extremely cruel, showing no mercy in annihilating a race. Any cultivators who oppose them are slaughtered and sacrificed as Underworld monsters.
Cultivators who survive such conditions must hold some value. Helian Zheng was likely such a person. He knew the exact location of Jiuzhou but refused to reveal it. The winged monsters needed this information.
"You should know that I cannot go down, right?" celestial maiden Guanghui scoffed.
A person without the right to appear in the Underworld Abyss, if discovered continuing downward, would certainly arouse suspicion.
Xiang Beifei knew she wasn’t lying; his abilities ensured this.
That meant the rest of the path he must explore on his own.
