Chapter 177 The Golden Egg
In the instant that the extreme cold and extreme heat energies clashed within Yu Tianyun's body, his mind went blank, as if swallowed by endless darkness.
However, his consciousness returned just moments later. His powerful mental strength made it difficult for him to faint, but at this moment, Yu Tianyun wished he could just pass out to escape the unbearable pain.
The intense, stinging pain felt like countless sharp steel needles piercing every part of his body, from his skin all the way to his bone marrow. His powerful mental strength only amplified his awareness of the pain, causing his body to convulse violently uncontrollably.
At the same time, Yu Tianyun felt an immense surge of energy within his body, as if it were about to burst him. His skin, internal organs, meridians, and bones felt like an inflated balloon, on the verge of being torn apart at any moment.
Yu Tianyun endured this extreme pain, his mind racing as he tried to find a solution. He didn't want to be tortured to death or burst apart, but after racking his brains for a while, he still had no clue what to do.
"What to do? There's no other way but to tough it out!" Yu Tianyun gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to activate the five soul bones that had already been fully fused together.
Instantly, a dazzling blue-gold light emanated from his right leg, a mysterious dark-gold radiance from his right hand, a black-purple halo from his dragon wings, a gray-black stream of energy from his tail, and an earthy-yellow glow from his chest.
At the same time, he no longer concealed his spirit rings and released all his amplifying spirit skills. His body was instantly crackling with electricity, like a dazzling sun rising from the bottom of the nearly 10,000-meter-deep water, making it impossible for anyone to see his expression.
However, these increases did not reduce his physical pain in the slightest; they merely made his body more resilient. The three external soul bones continuously helped him share and absorb this surging energy, preventing him from being burst apart.
At this moment, Yu Tianyun no longer had the strength to stop his body from absorbing the medicinal liquid from the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
In an instant, a surge of intense heat rapidly permeated his internal organs, limbs, and every part of his body, adding another red glow to his form. This heat was not the pure high temperature of the Fire Dragon King's energy, but rather a restlessness within his blood, causing an unbearable itch.
The extreme cold and heat seemed to flow endlessly into his body, so the pain persisted without any sign of abating.
And so, the three sensations of cold, heat, and tingling alternated at an astonishing speed, to the point that he felt as if he were enduring all three pains at the same time.
All he could do was barely keep himself going, to maintain his sense of self-preservation. No matter how intense the pain, he never gave up. This was the limit of what he could do.
Time passed slowly, and Yu Tianyun endured this torment that felt like being torn to pieces. Eventually, he became numb.
He had no energy left to condense his soul core under the medicinal power of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, because the extreme pain made it impossible for him to carefully control his blood and soul power.
He knew that forcibly condensing a soul core would only cause him to explode and die.
"Is this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng just going to be wasted like this?" Yu Tianyun was unwilling, but he had no other choice.
"Sigh! Let's leave it to fate. Every cloud has a silver lining. Maybe with the Ice and Fire Dragon King's soul bone and dragon soul, we'll have some unexpected gains!" Yu Tianyun could only console himself helplessly.
Gradually, the light emanating from Yu Tianyun began to fade, and before anyone knew it, it had transformed into a giant golden egg that completely enveloped him. This giant egg was nine meters long and six meters in diameter.
Under the pressure of the water, the giant egg slowly floated upwards.
……
Dugu Bo stared wide-eyed, his mouth slightly agape, pointing at the giant golden egg that had suddenly emerged from the extremely cold and hot spring water, speechless with astonishment.
The giant golden egg gave him an extremely terrifying feeling; a powerful pressure emanating from a superior martial soul was incredibly heavy. It took him a long time to recover, and he muttered to himself, "How could there be such a dragon egg in this Yin-Yang Well? And it's alive?"
The giant golden egg emitted a dull heartbeat from time to time, and Dugu Bo clearly believed that the life inside the egg was alive, which made him feel a little scared.
He wondered if the place where he had been in seclusion for years was the lair of a giant dragon. Dugu Bo did not act rashly, lowered his aura, and quickly ran to hide in a crevice in the mountain wall.
"Wait a minute, if there really were a dragon here, I would have noticed it long ago." After carefully observing for a while, Dugu Bo finally noticed something amiss. "And where's that brat?"
Only then did he remember his grandson-in-law, which made Dugu Bo immediately anxious.
Dugu Bo's eyes darted around in their sockets. After hesitating for a moment, as if he had made a huge decision, he slowly walked back to the pool, took a deep breath, and his voice, barely audible, drifted out: "Tianyun, where are you?"
"..."
There was no response, only the thumping of a heartbeat coming from inside the giant dome.
Dugu Bo called out softly a few more times, but still received no response, which made him even more worried. At the same time, he became bolder, and a greedy glint flashed in his eyes.
Looking at the giant egg before him, he thought to himself, "Such pure dragon power, its dragon might is even stronger than that old guy Yu Yuanzhen's. The dragon inside this egg must be a pure-blooded true dragon. If I roast it and let Yan Yan eat it, it might be very nourishing."
But the next moment, he felt troubled. The dragon egg was floating on the extremely cold and hot spring water, clearly impervious to water and fire.
An idea struck him. He bent down, grabbed a stone, and threw it with all his might toward the giant egg.
"Clang~"
A crisp sound rang out, but the giant egg remained completely still.
Inside the giant egg, Yu Tianyun was also drawn to the commotion. He endured the pain and spared a sliver of his mental energy to observe the situation outside.
He was utterly speechless. Although he was in great pain, fearing that Dugu Bo might do something even more bizarre, he managed to send a telepathic message: "Grandpa, I'm inside, don't disturb my cultivation."
Upon hearing Yu Tianyun's telepathic message, Dugu Bo was first taken aback, then his eyes widened in disbelief.
"You brat, what happened to you? How did you get yourself into this state?" Dugu Bo asked again, frowning.
But Yu Tianyun was at a critical moment and ignored him.
Dugu Bo waited for a while, but there was no response from the giant egg. Although he was filled with doubt and worry, he knew that he could not disturb Yu Tianyun at this time, so he stepped aside and quietly watched the giant egg.
