The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1381

Chapter 1381: Chapter 1377: Divine Beast Egg Chapter 1381: Chapter 1377: Divine Beast Egg Shen Luo had already used his Divine Sense to probe into the remains and sense something inside, but he hadn't expected it to be an egg. He was slightly startled when he saw the egg and the Devilish Array on it and quickly activated the Golden Light to whisk it over to him.

The red giant egg seemed to have been damaged by the slashing of the red bird shadow and did not resist, obediently falling into his hands.

“It's so hot!”

The moment the giant egg fell into his hands, even though Shen Luo had protected his palms with Mana, he still felt an intense heat, as if he had plunged his hands into flame, and he quickly stored the egg in the Free and Easy Mirror.

As soon as the red giant egg disappeared, the surrounding remains of the Red Flame Beasts burst into explosive fragments, turning into countless Power of Flames and scattering.

“It seems that due to this red egg, the fiery energy within the remains of the Red Flame Beasts did not disperse,” observed Shen Luo. Far from feeling regretful, he was secretly pleased.

The red giant egg clearly had the special ability to gather the Power of Flames, signifying it must be even more mysterious.

However, now was not the time to examine the giant egg in detail. He flew swiftly towards the two Earth Core Fire Lotuses and once again activated the Free and Easy Mirror.

A red crystalline light enveloped the two Fire Lotuses, and with a flash of light, they were collected.

Having done this, Shen Luo transformed into a streak of red light and shot off into the distance. He soon left the area of the Magma Lake and landed in a mountain range a hundred li away where the heat was slightly less intense.

He urged the Pure Yang Sword, shooting out sharp Sword Qi, and quickly carved out a Mountain Cave in the mountain wall to take refuge in.

Although the cave was far from the magma volcano, it was still too hot to be conducive for calm contemplation.

He waved his sleeve, and white light shot out, revealing several formation flags that he placed around the cave. Soon, he had arranged a Great Formation, specifically the Liangyi Micro-dust Array.

This Array had been nearly half destroyed by the Nine-Headed Insect in Yunmeng Marsh, but fortunately, the core Liangyi Micro Dust Talisman was intact. He had spent some time gathering Materials and had now restored the Array.

Shen Luo made a hand gesture to activate it, and countless streams of white light emerged, quickly submerging everything around him. The scenery before his eyes changed, and he found himself in a green wilderness vibrant with lush greenery, the scorching heat completely isolated by the Array.

Pleased, he nodded and sat down cross-legged, taking out the red giant egg.

In just this short period of time, the red light on the egg had brightened considerably, seemingly having recovered the Vitality that was just now extinguished by the Pure Yang Sword.

“It has already recovered so quickly. Given the previous red shadow, could this possibly be the egg of some kind of spiritual bird or Divine Beast?” Shen Luo's eyes lit up.

However, he was not well-versed in this area and could not identify the origin of the egg.

As for the Demonic Array on the eggshell, his dealings with Chiyou's Martial Secrets allowed him to comprehend parts of it. It seemed to be a devouring type of Demonic Array with the effect of blocking Divine Sense.

Shen Luo's gaze flickered for a moment, he conjured Mana to protect his palm, placed it on the Demonic Array, and began to slowly infuse Mana into it.

The runes within the Demonic Array lit up rapidly, emitting a layer of black light that whirred and spun, swallowing up the Mana. The glow of the red giant egg also slightly strengthened.

“As I suspected, a devouring type Demonic Array!” He immediately retracted his hand and backed away several zhang.

Shen Luo knew the Demonic Powers of the Demon Clan to be incredibly vicious. If this Demonic Array started to operate and sucked out all his vitality, it would be terrible. Given the nature of the Demon Clan, such a possibility was not unlikely.

Fortunately, the demonic array wasn't so fierce. As soon as he removed his hand from the shell, the black light on the array immediately dimmed, and the red light of the eggshell returned to its original state.

However, in that instant just now, Shen Luo's Divine Sense had penetrated the shell and vaguely saw a red fledgling wrapped in rolling vermilion flames inside. It glared fiercely at Shen Luo, its eyes filled with deep killing intent, extremely ferocious.

“A red fledgling, indeed some kind of avian Divine Beast,” he muttered to himself, his face showing a reflective expression.

This giant egg contained an infinite power of flames. It was no wonder the Red Flame Beast had such a tremendously powerful fire attribute divine power, given it had been concealing such a fiery egg inside its body.

Now that the egg had fallen into his hands, he, who did not possess fire attribute divine powers nor such a large belly to store this thing, had to think of another method to make proper use of it.

And the first step in utilizing this giant egg was to figure out exactly what kind of egg it was.

Shen Luo made hand signs and employed the Technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits to form a Spirit Communicating Water Hole, and soon a figure flew out–it was Bashe.

“Friend Shen, may I know what important matter you have for summoning me this time?” Bashe's face flashed with a hint of grievance as she asked lazily.

She had just obtained two treasures from Shen Luo and immediately swallowed them to refine in the space within her belly. Her cultivation level had advanced once more, only a whisker away from the True Immortal Stage. She could return to her original cultivation level by continuing her retreat for a period of time, so she had not expected Shen Luo to summon her again.

Among the people around Shen Luo, only Bashe had the broadest knowledge and, being of the exotic beast bloodline of the ancient Bashe, was likely to recognize the origin of this giant egg.

“Nothing much really. I've just come upon a rather extraordinary giant egg and summoned you to ask if you might recognize it,” Shen Luo pointed to the nearby red giant egg.

Bashe turned her head to look, and her face immediately showed a look of shock.

“Such pure innate True Fire can only belong to a Divine Beast. This is the egg of a Divine Beast!” Bashe exclaimed.

“So, this is really the egg of a Divine Beast? However, what is innate True Fire?” Shen Luo asked, his eyebrows raised.

“Innate True Fire is a collective term for the true fire inside the body of a fire attribute Divine Beast. A Divine Beast's bloodline power is born between Heaven and Earth and is considered innate, hence the name innate True Fire. Friend Shen, do not underestimate this fire. The innate True Fire of some top Divine Beasts is powerful enough to rival Heavenly Fire,” Bashe said, clicking her tongue.

Having witnessed the power of the red giant egg, Shen Luo nodded slightly and then, without hiding anything, told Bashe everything he knew about the egg.

“Vermilion flames, a red fledgling… It seems this is indeed a Vermilion Bird Egg!” Bashe asserted after hearing the details.

“The Vermilion Bird! The Southern Divine Beast among the Four Symbols!” Shen Luo's face revealed a look of surprise and delight.

He was already familiar with the grand reputation of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast through various classics. It was said to be capable of devouring the sun's fire, and a single spray of flames could incinerate a mountain peak, while a flick of its long tail could evaporate an entire river. It was one of the most formidable fire Divine Beasts, although it had long since disappeared from the world.

“Given what you told me earlier, there's no mistake. As for the purpose of this Devouring Demonic Array on the shell, I'm not sure; perhaps someone set it up here to constantly infuse vitality into the Vermilion Bird Egg to maintain its life force,” Bashe guessed.

“Maybe so. Bashe, do you think this Vermilion Bird Egg is of any use to me?” Shen Luo could not fathom the purpose of the demonic array, so he set aside that concern and inquired.

“If you, Friend Shen, cultivated fire attribute divine powers, this Vermilion Bird Egg would be tremendously useful to you. Directly absorbing the essence of the Divine Beast into your body would greatly enhance your fire attribute divine powers and advance your cultivation rapidly, even granting you part of the Vermilion Bird's bloodline power. However, since you cultivate a Water-type Technique, this Vermilion Bird Egg is a bit like chicken ribs for you–it's not that beneficial, and may even do great harm to forcefully absorb its essence. In your current situation, you could either imprint on the egg and hatch it to make it your spirit beast, or sell it off; monks who cultivate fire attribute techniques would spend their entire fortunes to buy it,” Bashe advised.

Hearing this, Shen Luo furrowed his brows. The more formidable the Divine Beast, the longer its growth process would be. The Vermilion Bird Egg looked to possess great spirit already, but who knew how long it would still take to hatch, and after hatching, how many resources it would require to be raised properly.

As for selling it, that wasn't a great option either. He was already incredibly wealthy and didn't lack for wealth.
