Chapter 1401 - Chapter 1401 Chapter 1401 Kuupeng Feeding on Dragons

Chapter 1401: Chapter 1401: Kuupeng, Feeding on Dragons! Chapter 1401: Chapter 1401: Kuupeng, Feeding on Dragons! At this moment, the giant egg was cracking open, bit by bit.

There was an unmistakable scent of “birth” within the shell.

Both the treasure hunters and the mysterious blonde man understood that this “birth” was the emergence of a completely new form of life!

It was even a birth of a creature that had never before appeared in the universe!

This was a moment of “witnessing,” witnessing the birth of an entirely new being. Therefore, the air was filled with an atmosphere of solemnity and sanctity.

Amid this solemn atmosphere, the treasure hunters grew reverent.

Even the blonde man forgot to lay hands on the giant egg again.

Somewhere in his subconscious, he too believed that one should not rashly destroy this egg. At least until the entirely new species had fully emerged.

To forcibly destroy it would be somewhat against the universal laws. The universe itself seemed to acknowledge and accept the birth of this new species.

However, the blonde man was not cowed. He was fearless. He possessed an innate arrogance.

In his eyes, his race was the ultimate overlord of the universe. No matter what emerged, it could only be slaughtered or enslaved by him.

“Good, very good, not bad~~ I want to see what kind of creature will be born~~ If it is a stronger species, then it is just right to subdue and use as a mount, at best,” the blonde man said with a sly, teasing laugh.

As pieces of the eggshell fell away, strands of obscure, ancient, mysterious, and powerful forces began to seep through the cracks of the shell.

Once these forces seeped out, they ascended rapidly and soon enveloped the entire world, making the earth tremble and the barriers of space show signs of fragility!

Under the envelop of this force, the treasure hunters were shivering with fear.

It was a fear that stemmed from instinct.

Now, the same question arose in their minds– “Huang Xiaolong? Is the unparalleled demon that will hatch from this eggshell Huang Xiaolong? Is it really him?”

“Hmm?” The mysterious blonde man was somewhat moved; he had to admit, the vitality and energy seeping from the eggshell were surprisingly powerful.

Far stronger than he had imagined!

Soon, both treasure hunters and the blonde man discerned the energy essence seeping from the shell, finding it both familiar and foreign.

It contained Huang Xiaolong’s essence.

There was also the essence of primordial Demon beasts.

Even the nefarious essence from the netherworld.

And even a bit of the blonde man’s essence!

“Hmph!” The blonde man felt somewhat annoyed; he knew why there was a trace of similarity with the energy emanating from the eggshell. It was plain to see. His earlier attack had been absorbed by the eggshell. The creature within the shell had transformed the blonde man’s energy into its own essence.

That is to say, the blonde man’s property had been pilfered by the being inside the egg!

“It contains my brother-in-law’s life essence!” The Ninth Princess of the Long Clan finally let out a sigh of relief. Ever since Huang Xiaolong’s life essence had completely vanished, the Ninth Princess had been worried sick, fearing the worst for Huang Xiaolong.

Now, feeling Huang Xiaolong’s familiar essence once again, the Ninth Princess finally believed–Huang Xiaolong was still alive! He still existed! He had not perished!

And these diverse essences began to soar to the heavens, then start to merge!

Merge! And merge again!

Soon they would become one without distinction!

Demon King Kui, along with the other Demon Kings and Demon Saints present, finally could not withstand it any longer, and they knelt en masse, bowing incessantly. “We greet the Great King! We greet the Great King!”

For the demonic essence seeping from within the eggshell carried on the lineage of the supreme Demon King of the Demon Realm, it was the essence of the zenith of the Demon Race’s food chain. Nevertheless, the demonic essence within the eggshell was far more terrifying and powerful than that of the current supreme Demon King!

The Demon Race honored bloodlines above all, and Demon Kings like Kui could easily discern that the creature about to be born from within the shell had a Demon Race bloodline purer by many magnitudes than the current supreme Demon King of the Demon Realm!

Pureblood Demon King!

“Hahaha~~~” The blonde man laughed maniacally, looking up at the sky. “It’s futile. No matter what, it is futile. Whatever is born will only become my slave, my mount. Such is your destiny, and if you presumptuously retaliate, you will only bring about your own destruction.”

Just at that moment!

Boom~~~!!!!

The giant egg, riddled with cracks, finally exploded completely!

With the explosion of the giant egg, a life essence that was not quite human, not quite demon, not quite devil, not quite ghost, and not quite immortal, shone brilliantly like a column of light, piercing the heavens like a sharp blade, soaring straight up, impacting the skies!

The essence that burst forth from the egg in the high heavens condensed into a cluster, merging directly with the various essences that had previously seeped out!

Finally, the essence belonging to Huang Xiaolong, the essence of the netherworld, the essence of the Demon Race, the faint traces of the blonde man…all merged into one, forming an entirely new essence!

It was a completely new life essence, a primordial essence that had not appeared since the birth of the universe.

Within the immense aura, a figure emerged from the void!

A person who seemed harmless to humans and animals, frail and delicate!

A youth!

That youth was none other than Huang Xiaolong!

Yet, behind Huang Xiaolong, there spread six colossal white wings that blotted out the sun!

These wings were not made up of any condensed energy but were living appendages, as if they belonged to Huang Xiaolong, a part of his very body!

Each wing bore ancient runes that seemed to flow around it.

With just a slight flutter of his wings, a terrifying whirlwind would spontaneously arise, ravaging the world as though it could shred the solid spatial barriers to pieces.

“Hahaha~~~ I’ve finally come out~~” Huang Xiaolong stretched lazily, his eyes squinting as he looked towards the golden-haired man.

At the same time, above Huang Xiaolong’s head, a shadowy figure of a beast appeared.

This beast resembled a fish yet not a fish, a bird yet not a bird, a Kuupeng yet not a Kuupeng, whose magnitude stretched unknown thousands of miles~~~

“Is~~ is~~ is Kuupeng!!!!!” The Third Crown Prince and Ninth Princess of the Long Clan screamed in shock.

Right, the divine beast’s silhouette that appeared above Huang Xiaolong’s head was none other than the Kuupeng!

Kuupeng, since ancient times, has been the most esteemed and powerful divine beast in the Demon Race!

The current Demon King’s true form was a Kuupeng!

However, the bloodline of the Demon King was clearly inferior to Huang Xiaolong at this moment!

How could one describe the might of the Kuupeng?

To give a simple example, in the entire universe, there are many ancient mythical beasts revered by all worlds, and dragons are adored.

In countless civilizations, the “dragon” is seen as great and sacred, even as a totem.

Nevertheless, even the omnipotent dragons that command the wind and rain are not invincible! There are divine beasts that specialize in eating dragons!

Yes, eat dragons! To feed on dragons!

Kuupeng is one that preys on dragons!

In the Demon Race, there is an ancient legend that Kuupeng is the progenitor of all divine beasts, spiritual beasts, ferocious beasts, evil beasts, and savage beasts!

It is precisely because Kuupeng feeds on dragons that the Long Clan harbored thoughts of leaving the Demon Race.

There is also an old tale in the Long Clan–a mature Kuupeng must consume 500 Little Longs and one large dragon every day!

Originally, the Long Clan, as part of the Demon Race’s large family, were numerous! Even amongst many demon races, the Long Clan was once the most prosperous and populous. It was the Kuupeng’s predation that led to their sharp decline in numbers.

Of course, nowadays, Kuupengs are exceedingly rare in the Demon Race.

Moreover, the bloodlines have considerably diminished from the ancient Kuupeng.

Taking the current Demon King for example, although his true form is a Kuupeng, he can no longer feast on hundreds of dragons every day as the ancient pure-blooded Kuupeng once did.

The aura that Huang Xiaolong now displayed was already as noble and unattainable as that of an ancient Kuupeng!

When facing Huang Xiaolong, both the Third Crown Prince and Ninth Princess felt an instinctual fear, a profound terror!

“Yes, it’s Kuupeng,” Huang Xiaolong nodded. “Previously, within the eggshell, I battled that Kuupeng for several rounds, hehe, and successfully took possession. Now, in addition to retaining my original life characteristics, I also have all the features of an ancient pure-blooded Kuupeng, the strength, divine skills~~~ And furthermore, a trace of an even more potent power has been absorbed by me, pushing my life’s genetics to a new level, surpassing all races in the universe~~hahaha~~thank you, O mighty one~~”

Huang Xiaolong looked somewhat sarcastically at the mysterious golden-haired man.

Now, he no longer felt the fear he once had towards the mysterious golden-haired man!

In fact, he even wanted to battle with him!

Huang Xiaolong could clearly sense his own strength at this moment!

With just a slight breath, he could feel a tremendous power coursing through his body, and with each pulse, it caused signs of spatial collapse in the world around him.

“Oh? You insignificant thing~~ Do you think that with this, you can challenge me?” the mysterious golden-haired man glared angrily at Huang Xiaolong, feeling that his dignity was somehow violated. “It’s futile! Everything is in vain! In the universe, my race is supreme! All you disparate beings are but a joke in front of us!”

Huang Xiaolong shrugged nonchalantly, his demeanor now carrying a subtle change from before. Apart from the innate laziness that remained unchanged, there was a sense of commanding authority in his eyes, now even more dominant. Occasionally, a condescending expression would inadvertently surface in his gaze.

“Heh~~ it’s always worth a try,” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “Without bringing you down, we can’t enter the main world created by the ‘Immortal Emperor’ and obtain some very important information and secrets. And you certainly won’t let us go. Therefore, this battle is inevitable.”

“I, Huang Xiaolong, gathering my own strength, drawing on the energies of the underworld, merging with the ancient pure-blooded Kuupeng and incorporating a sliver of your power, am resolved to challenge you! To settle once and for all who is the dominant force!” Huang Xiaolong declared a battle challenge with sudden boldness and determination!

Ready to fight at all costs!

“Hahahaha~~~” The golden-haired man burst into laughter, “Very well, you insignificant and humble creature~~ Today, as you wish, let’s fight!”
