C1130 Dragon Egg
The Titan Spinosaurus, a cosmic giant beast, emerged as one of the earliest creatures at the dawn of chaos. The Abyssal Leviathan, from beyond the borders of Ionodios, revered this starry leviathan with the highest esteem, declaring it the most ancient and mightiest of all. It surpassed others like the secular bird, the Abyssal Winged Lizard, and the Voidweaver, each by an entire tier.
The Titans of the Annihilation Nebula worshipped the Titan Spinosaurus as their deity. They believed themselves to be the offspring and guardians of this majestic creature. Once, the Titans were the most formidable race within the Star Rivers, occupying the highest echelon.
Legend has it that the Titan Spinosaurus's demise was unlike that of other cosmic giant beasts; it wasn't felled by the pinnacle warriors of contemporary races but perished due to infighting among its own kind. A coalition of cosmic giant beasts, including the likes of the Voidweaver and the Abyssal Winged Lizard, banded together to bring it down. The reasons behind this alliance against the Titan Spinosaurus remain unknown, but it was known as the apex predator and ruler among giant beasts before its fall.
The final resting place of the Titan Spinosaurus remains an enigma, with neither the Star River's mightiest nor the numerous cosmic giant beasts able to unravel the truth. Now, two dragon eggs of the Titan Spinosaurus have surfaced unexpectedly—one within Ionodios and the other in this lesser realm...
Yu Yuan gazed intently at the colossal, violet-gold dragon egg, where a resplendent glow seemed to seep through its fissures. It was imbued with a psionic power that resonated with the enigmatic Way of Heaven, akin to dazzling electrical currents that mirrored the Otherkin's bloodline chains, hinting at hidden theurgies.
The Altar of Rebirth within him whirled wildly in response to the presence of the Titan Spinosaurus's dragon egg. In a remarkably brief span, his body, previously wounded by a pulsating heart, had nearly fully recovered, leaving him with scarcely any discomfort.
"To think this is actually a dragon egg of the Titan Spinosaurus, yet it's clearly fractured," Yu Yiyi remarked from behind Yu Yuan, clutching a small cat named Shadowfox. She peered once more at the purple-gold dragon egg and advised, "Master, if that dragon egg truly belongs to the Titan Spinosaurus, you should be cautious in approaching it."
Yu Yuan, having learned from past setbacks, gave a slight nod to indicate his understanding.
Boom!
Another thunderous heartbeat echoed, as if it were about to rupture the very fabric of reality.
Near the massive violet-gold egg and the pulsating heart, Chen Qinghuang underwent a transformation, revealing a Divine Visage as tall as a thousand zhang, reminiscent of an ancient deity.
This magical Divine Visage, with three heads and six arms, wielded control over the Cosmic Orders of destruction, death, and rebirth.
With mesmerizing hand gestures, the Divine Visage formed six distinct spell seals in front of various chests, conjuring shimmering crystal walls that vibrated in response to the heart's tremors.
Walls of gray, black, and translucent crystal materialized, only to shatter explosively moments later.
Propelled by the force, Chen Qinghuang's towering Divine Visage soared into the sky, increasing the distance from the heart.
She then gazed down with a visage of destruction at the Lunarphite Demon Body below and the largely depleted, peculiar heart beneath the violet-gold egg.
"The demon body is that of the Lunarphite, and the giant egg was left by the Titan Spinosaurus. The heart is brimming with the Lunarphite's vitality because it has absorbed the residual demon energy of the Dark Deity. Yet, the heart itself is unrelated to the Lunarphite, the Titan Spinosaurus, and certainly not Grec's," Chen Qinghuang declared with a visage that was both fierce and menacing.
"Until we discover the correct approach, no one should attempt to get close to that heart," Tan Junshan instructed from his perch upon a crescent moon. He gestured for Winona and Lee Yupan to keep their distance, then narrowed his eyes and addressed Yu Yuan, "Chenchen mentioned you sensed another potent heartbeat earlier. Did it originate from Ionodios?"
Yu Yuan, clutching the Dragon Slaying Stage, nodded subtly.
Within the little world of the Dragon Slaying Stage, his soul could sense the remains of the frost wyrm, the Chronowyrm, and numerous other slain giant dragons, all drawn to the dragon egg of the Titan Spinosaurus. They seemed eager to break free from the Dragon Slaying Stage and converge upon the dragon egg.
He currently stood atop the corpse of a tenth-level Dark Deity Lunarphite, which was missing its demon soul. The complete Dragon Slaying Stage, however, housed the remains of the golden dragon, the Chronowyrm, and the frost wyrm. Their dragon blood and the lingering Dragon Soul had all been infused into the Dragon Slaying Stage, transforming it into a Divine Artifact that caused the Boulderdawn to tremble.
In the hands of the dragon slayer, the Dragon Slaying Stage's wielder was unmatched in combat prowess. Whether in the Everlands or across the extraterrestrial Star River, the one who commanded the Dragon Slaying Stage possessed a killing power that was unrivaled, both in the past and for generations to come.
Given that the Dragon Slaying Stage was a divine item fully consecrated by its creator, the dragon corpse became an integral part of it. To think of separating from the Dragon Slaying Stage and gaining freedom was nothing short of a fool's dream. As such, no matter how the dragon corpse thrashed, it was as futile as a grasshopper nailed down by a steel spike.
"I suspect that the Dragons of the Everlands originated from the Titan Spinosaurus," Chen Qinghuang mused, hovering in the air, no longer sensing the heart's menace or hearing its beats. She reverted to her previously stunning appearance, shedding her three heads and six arms, and the air of mystery and eeriness about her.
Her statement stunned all those present. "The Nagas came from the Titan Spinosaurus?" Tan Junshan exclaimed in disbelief.
"None of you have ventured within the Annihilation Nebula, nor have you witnessed the Titan Spinosaurus alongside the dragons of the Everlands. The differences between them are subtle. The Titan Spinosaurus is merely larger in size and boasts an expansive pair of wings compared to the dragons of the Everlands."
Chen Qinghuang gracefully descended to the Crucible of Evil, where Yu Yuan was located, and hovered there. Her words sparked a memory within Yu Yuan's mind, igniting a burst that unveiled a sequence of secretive thoughts.
"Indeed, the Titan Spinosaurus entered the Everlands, mortally wounded, before its demise."
The Titan Spinosaurus perished in the vast underground world of the Everlands. What is referred to as the dragon vein is actually the dissipated essence of the dragon, which merged into the subterranean network to form it. The original, intact Dragon Slaying Stage, located in the Moonfall Sanctuary, at the peak that suppressed it, was the source of the dragon vein and once served as its final resting place.
After the Titan Spinosaurus died in the Everlands, years later, its lifeblood combined with the native spirits to form a giant dragon.
Being a supreme cosmic giant beast, it carried a mysterious fate. The site of its demise continued to attract numerous psionic powers from the Star River in the extraterrestrial realms. After purification by the wall, these energies transformed into the purest spiritual energy.
Thus, the spiritual energy of the Everlands became the most vast and purest of the Star River.
After all, during its reign across the cosmos, the Titan Spinosaurus consumed countless advanced stars.
The terrifying powers contained within those devoured stars, after its death, nourished the Everlands, contributing to its splendor and enabling the dragons of the Everlands to birth one tenth level Dragon God after another.
...
Yu Yuan, with a voice like a dream, revealed the secret message that shimmered in his memory.
He believed that this memory sparkle originated from the Dragon Slaying Stage, part of the dragon slayer's legacy.
As the one who overthrew the Titan Spinosaurus' descendants—the Nagas—in the Everlands, the dragon slayer certainly knew the secrets of this world.
"The Nagas were actually born from the Titan Spinosaurus!"
"My heavens!"
"With the death of the Titan Spinosaurus, the dragon race emerged! For millions of years, the power it had consumed and refined within itself gave rise to the so-called Central World, the Everlands!"
Tan Junshan, Winona, and Yue Fei's faces were a picture of amazement.
Clearly, the secrets unveiled by Yu Yuan and Chen Qinghuang were groundbreaking, something they could never have imagined in their wildest dreams—that the strength and profound legacy of the Everlands were entirely due to the Titan Spinosaurus!
"A world as remarkable as this doesn't just appear out of nowhere," Chen Qinghuang murmured, her nod confirming that Yu Yuan's account matched her own conjectures. "The fact that several Dragon Gods emerged shortly after the birth of the Everlands' dragons is also due to the dispersed power of the Titan Spinosaurus."
Thump!
Another heartbeat echoed from the chest of the Lunarphite Ape. Then, a myriad of crimson lines transformed into dense flashes of lightning, shooting towards everyone present.
Inside the violet gold egg, mysterious vital energy gathered, as if sculpting something wondrous.
