Crack—
The entire stone-within-stone completely shattered. Gone was the previous caution, leaving many people dumbfounded. Was the Battle Saint King crazy? Or did he think he was definitely going to lose, thus slapping it down in a fit of rage? Anyone else would have carefully stripped it away layer by layer.
Hum—
At the same time, beams of fiery, resplendent radiance shot out from within, so dazzling and eye-catching that they instantly drew everyone's attention.
"That's—"
Everyone stared over, not blinking, especially those who had placed bets. At this moment, an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.
"The stone-within-stone really does contain a treasure. Could the Battle Saint King truly stage a comeback?"
"Impossible. Given the size of that stone-within-stone, no matter how extraordinary the treasure, it couldn't be worth fifty million jin."
"Heh, what if there's Chaos Immortal Gold inside?"
Some among them gloated. If a piece of Chaos Immortal Gold that large were truly cut out, that would be a different story altogether.
One must know that Chaos Immortal Gold was the primary material for Supreme Emperor Weapons or Supreme Immortal Weapons, the first choice for Supreme-level existences forging their Dao weapons. Its value far surpassed that of other treasures by an unknown margin.
If a piece of Chaos Immortal Gold the size of a human head were truly cut out, its value would far exceed fifty million jin.
However, many sneered. How rare was a priceless treasure like Chaos Immortal Gold? Throughout the ages, few had ever been born. Even the chance of it being contained within a chaos primordial stone was infinitely close to zero.
Precisely because of this, although many bettors felt a moment of panic, it was only for an instant. More were still brimming with confidence.
Crack—
The chaos primordial stone encasing the treasure rapidly peeled away. Finally, a soft, gentle dawn light appeared within, strands of dawn radiance accompanied by countless Great Dao Laws, eye-catching and extraordinary.
Everyone's gaze instantly fell upon this cluster of dawn light. Even Ye Chen's eyes blazed with chaotic ancient energy.
Poof—
Suddenly, this cluster of dawn light abruptly exploded, transforming into a sky-filling shower of light rain, accompanied by a sky full of Great Dao Laws.
"It's Great Dao Light!"
"The legendary Great Dao Light, containing supreme Dao Principles! Once absorbed, one can directly comprehend the contained fragments of Great Dao Laws, doubling one's comprehension of the Great Dao!"
Many exclaimed in surprise. Great Dao Light was a legendary substance, containing supreme Dao Principles that could be directly refined, allowing one to possess the supreme Dao Principles contained within. Only a Supreme Emperor or a Supreme Immortal could refine it. Its value was immeasurable.
However, before anyone else could act, Ye Chen took the lead. He summoned the Chaos Great Cauldron, reversed everything, and directly swallowed all the Great Dao Light into the cauldron, making many burn with envy.
Yet when they saw the vivid imprints on the Chaos Great Cauldron—imprints of young generation's supremes who had shaken the Ultimate Ancient Path, and imprints of Great Powers from the Soul-Forbidden Hall—a sense of dread arose in their hearts.
Only then did they remember that the Battle Saint King before them was no benevolent believer, nor an ordinary Heavenly King figure. His combat power was immensely powerful, capable of slaying Great Powers against the natural order, terrifying and peerless. If he truly made a move, it was more likely they would be the ones killed.
However, at this moment, everyone focused their attention once more. After the Great Dao Light dissipated, the true treasure hidden within finally revealed its true form.
It was actually an egg!
That's right, it was an egg, but no ordinary egg. It was the size of a human head, and its entire body seemed cast from Sunfire Immortal Gold. Countless Great Dao Patterns were inscribed upon it, all profound and unfathomable. Even an ancient Great Power would find it difficult to fully comprehend them.
Moreover, after the egg appeared, strands of fiery Crimson-Gold Dao Fire coiled around it, easily melting the void, boundlessly terrifying and shocking.
What kind of egg was this, actually inscribed with such extraordinary Great Dao Patterns and surrounded by such terrifying Crimson-Gold Dao Fire? Upon closer inspection, this Crimson-Gold Dao Fire wasn't flame at all, but rather the purest Great Dao runes condensed together, terrifying to the extreme. Even Ye Chen and Will, standing right before it, felt a terrifying wave of scorching heat assail them.
Others felt it even more—rolling waves of heat that easily scorched the void.
"What a fearsome egg! Could it be the immortal egg of an Immortal Phoenix or the immortal egg of a Mythical Golden Crow?"
Many speculated. Logically, only the immortal eggs of such Chaos Holy Spirits would possess such pure, extreme Crimson-Gold Dao Fire.
However, no one could tell for sure now, but it obviously filled people with fervor.
Anyone could see that the being gestating within this immortal egg could be the most terrifying Chaos Holy Spirit, born from chaos, innately powerful.
Beings like the Primordial True Dragon, Immortal Phoenix, Kun Peng, Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird, and White Tiger were all among the first living beings born from chaos, possessing the most fearsome chaotic potential. Almost all could grow into Supreme-level beings, terrifying and boundless.
An immortal egg capable of hatching a future Supreme, peerless being—no matter how you looked at it, its value far exceeded the equivalent of fifty million jin of spirit stones.
Many even had fiery glints in their eyes, ready to make a move and snatch this Chaos Immortal Egg.
Dan Xian was among them, and Fei Tuo as well. They both deeply understood the extraordinary nature of such a Chaos Immortal Egg. It would almost certainly become a future Supreme One. Its value was simply too great.
As long as one nurtured it by their side, even if they themselves could not truly reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao in the future, with a Supreme Immortal Egg in hand, they could still roam the ancient cosmos and proudly traverse the Chaos Sea.
However, at this moment, Ye Chen swept a cold gaze over the many powers. Terrifying, peerless killing intent directly erupted, flooding the sky: "Anyone who dares covet it, just come and try to snatch it. I'll kill one who comes, kill two who come. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try."
Boom—
The killing intent emanating from Ye Chen instantly intensified many times over, overwhelming, enough to destroy everything.
Great terror killing intent surged forth, causing all heavens to tremble, even affecting the entire Tianyi Workshop. This instantly cooled the fervor in the eyes of all those who had been coveting the egg.
Although they all coveted the Chaos Immortal Egg that could hatch a Supreme being, the other party was no ordinary member of the younger generation. He was the most domineering and imposing Battle Saint King, hailed as a Supreme killer. The number of Great Powers who had died by his hand could be counted on both hands. Such a person was practically a god of slaughter, fearing nothing.
Who would provoke such a terrifying god of slaughter for no reason?
It would be pure suicide!
