Chapter 6181 - Crows

“Long Chen, among these four eggs, this one has the strongest aura. You should plant the slave mark.” Yue Xiaoqian pointed to one of the eggs and said to Long Chen. Long Chen smiled slightly, “Silly girl, I already have Little Snow, so I won't be needing any other contracted beasts.” “This Cursed Spirit Blood Crow has an extremely powerful bloodline with limitless potential. With its assistance…” Yue Xiaoqian said. “Come on.” Long Chen grabbed Yue Xiaoqian's jade-like hand and pressed it directly onto the large egg. At this moment, the egg's fluctuations grew even stronger. “Buzz.” Yue Xiaoqian no longer hesitated, and a soul imprint was transmitted over. The unhatched Cursed Spirit Blood Crow was still in its innate state, making it easiest to plant the slave mark. “Everyone else hurry.” While Yue Xiaoqian focused on controlling the large egg, Long Chen took the initiative and said to two men and a woman among the crowd, “You... you... and you, the three of you, divide the remaining three.” The three were both surprised and delighted. This was a chaotic relic species, and having such a contracted beast was the dream of countless people. However, the three hesitated, looking towards several ancestors who nodded and said, “Everything listens to Lord Long Chen.” With permission granted, the three immediately shouted excitedly, saluted Long Chen, and began to act promptly. “Long Chen, it will take them a day to inscribe the slave marks. We should get to the real business.” Dragonbone Evilmoon said excitedly, unable to wait any longer. If it were other beasts, the slave mark would almost be completed instantly, but the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow was different. Even unhatched, the difficulty was still very high. Moreover, the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow was exceptionally violent and fierce, bloodthirsty by nature. Once hatched, it is almost impossible to tame, even in its fledgling stage. It would rather die than submit. Planting a slave mark requires a lot of time and certain skills, and it can't be rushed. “No, I have to protect them first. Evilmoon, why are you so impatient?” Long Chen shook his head and said. “Okay, okay, I’m impatient, right? Let me tell you, if you knew how strong I am in the Blood Moon state, you wouldn’t say that.” Dragonbone Evilmoon seemed a bit angry. Long Chen was speechless for a moment. Why did this guy act like a child? They hadn't even escaped danger yet, and it wasn’t the time to refine anything. “Crack, crack, crack…” A day passed, and the large egg in front of Yue Xiaoqian slowly cracked open a hole, followed by a bald head stretching out. It was the fledgling Cursed Spirit Blood Crow. After breaking out of its shell, it opened its eyes and began to devour the mucus on its body, then ate the broken eggshell. “Buzz.” After completing these actions, the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow's entire body burst into blood-colored flames. “Divine Flame Realm?” Long Chen's heart trembled. The Cursed Spirit Blood Crow could ignite divine flames right after birth. Flames surged around the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow, and its down feathers began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. “Divine Flame Realm… Four Extremes Realm… Divine Monarch Realm… My heavens…” Even though Long Chen was experienced and knowledgeable, he couldn’t help but be shocked. Was this the terror of a chaotic relic species? The speed of this ascension was too terrifying! Long Chen carefully sensed the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow's body and immediately understood. It had a demon core inside, containing endless energy. After swallowing its own “house,” the energy stored in the demon core was instantly released. The Cursed Spirit Blood Crow's aura continued to rise, and Long Chen formed seals with his hands. A purple light barrier rose, enveloping tens of thousands of miles around them. “What is it?” Yue Xiaoqian was startled, thinking the enemy had arrived. “The little ones hatching cause too much commotion, which might attract terrifying beasts. For many beasts, devouring them at this time could save countless years of cultivation, an incredible temptation.” Long Chen explained. “Boom.” A violent wave surged, and the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow's aura soared to the peak of the Heavenly Saint before stopping. By this time, the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow was already several hundred feet long, its pressure astonishing, especially with eyes like blood-red moons, filled with fierce energy, making one's scalp tingle. “Whoosh.” It returned to the nest, where there was still a lot of essence blood, and drank it all in one go. “Buzz, buzz, buzz.” Its aura surged again, ascending directly to the Human Emperor Realm, yet it did not transform, and its aura continued to rise. “Buzz.” Its aura blossomed once more, advancing to the Divine Emperor Realm. At this point, it was already several hundred miles long, much larger than its mother, no, its father. The feathers on its body glowed with a lustrous sheen, like blood-colored glass. It proudly held its head high and suddenly rushed towards the other large eggs in the distance. “Xiaoqian, quickly control it. It’s going to eat its siblings.” Long Chen was startled. “Come back.” Yue Xiaoqian commanded sternly. Hearing her call, the fierce aura of the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow immediately vanished. It suddenly shrank in size, like a sparrow, landing on Yue Xiaoqian's shoulder, gently rubbing its head against her ear, appearing exceptionally affectionate. “It’s truly fierce.” The experts of the Primeval Demon Race couldn’t help but take a deep breath. From the moment they were born, competition had already begun. Those who hatched late would become food. At this time, other fledglings also emerged, but without drinking the essence blood in the nest, they ultimately stopped at the Heavenly Saint Realm. The Cursed Spirit Blood Crow was an extremely peculiar species. Its ascension wouldn’t attract heavenly tribulations and was not restricted by the Human Emperor Realm. “Long Chen, this Cursed Spirit Blood Crow has hundreds of innate runes within it, meaning it can wield hundreds of curse powers: aging curses, bloodline curses, soul curses…” Yue Xiaoqian said joyfully. As its master, she could view all the powers within the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow. What she saw astonished her. “But it’s too fierce. It needs to constantly consume blood and flesh.” Yue Xiaoqian said. “No worries, there are plenty of those who bully the Primeval Demon Race. It won’t run out of food.” Long Chen laughed. Long Chen knew Yue Xiaoqian was kind-hearted and might not easily accept this, but he liked it very much. With such a fierce bird by Yue Xiaoqian’s side, Long Chen could rest assured. Thinking about the journey, where so many Primeval Demon Race experts died, Yue Xiaoqian was filled with hatred. The little one sensed Yue Xiaoqian's killing intent and instantly became excited, its gaze sharper, rubbing its head against Yue Xiaoqian. “You are a Cursed Spirit Blood Crow, so from now on, you’ll be called Yaya.” Yue Xiaoqian gently stroked the little one. This was her first contracted beast, and she couldn't help but be excited. “…Yaya… Yaya.” Such a fierce divine bird, yet it was given such a name, leaving Long Chen speechless. “Huh?” Suddenly, Long Chen’s expression changed as he looked into the distance. “Long Chen, what’s wrong?” Yue Xiaoqian asked urgently. “An opportunity has arrived. Let’s test Yaya’s strength.” Long Chen took Yue Xiaoqian's hand, and their figures flickered, disappearing from where they stood.
