Chapter 126: White Egg, Black Egg!

In the blink of an eye, the flames covering Qin Feng’s body had been extinguished by the erosion of the demonic energy. The second layer of Marrow Spirit Bone Fire was also in dire straits under the intense corrosion of the thick demonic aura.

His body, meanwhile, had become completely immobile.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon Blood-Qiqi Coffin beneath him opened its demonic eyes at the front of the casket, suddenly firing a beam of red light deep into the demonic cavern. Just at that moment, a massive, grotesque green claw reached out from the depths of the abyss.

This green claw was enormous, resembling a ghostly appendage from hell, burning with strange green flames. Beneath the fire, mangled flesh and ghastly white bones were exposed everywhere.

The blood-red light and the green claw collided almost instantly.

A thunderous "boom" echoed through the cavern, and the entire abyss shook violently. It was this very tremor that allowed Qin Feng to suddenly regain control of his body.

"Quickly, take the egg!" the Heavenly Demon urged, anxious.

Qin Feng knew the danger, as the giant green claw had already pierced through the black mist, swiping toward the direction of Qin Feng and the coffin. Before the claw even reached him, Qin Feng felt the flames on his body dissolving ten times faster than before.

"The flames on that green claw are incredibly sinister!"

Qin Feng could feel his own flames trembling. In particular, the Marrow Spirit Bone Fire was snuffed out in a single encounter. The final layer, the Blood-Burning Purifying Fire, fared slightly better, but it too soon began to show signs of collapse, crumbling like a routed army.

Qin Feng was terrified. What kind of monster was this? Just extending a claw was enough to be so formidable!

At this critical moment, Qin Feng’s ruthlessness surged. A fierce expression flashed across his face as he accelerated the burning of his own blood. The Blood-Burning Purifying Fire regained a sliver of strength, at least preventing him from being instantly incinerated by the hellish, nether-green flames.

"Damn it, if I don't pull out all the stops, I'm dead!"

A look of determination flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. If he was going to play, he would play big!

He shook his body, and under the control of his intent, three flames of different colors rose up and collided rapidly.

Red, blood-red, and white—three colors!

This was a method of triple-flame explosion. Qin Feng had never attempted it before; the only time he had used a Heaven Fire explosion was recently, when he used a dual-flame explosion to destroy Li Xingjian’s puppet body.

This time, adding a third flame increased the power tenfold! Qin Feng was going all in.

He concentrated fully, his hands nimbly weaving and fusing the triple-flame orb. Cooperating with him, the Heavenly Demon also fired eye-beams from the coffin at the enemy, though its strength was so limited by Qin Feng that the attacks were, at best, a mere tickle to the green claw.

But that was enough!

As the green claw approached, a sphere of fire containing three swirling flame dragons manifested in Qin Feng’s hands. At this moment, Qin Feng looked like a god descending, staring coldly at the nether-green claw reaching toward him.

"I don't care what you are, nor what level of existence you possess! But today, I must take this white egg. Remember, my name is Qin Feng!"

With that, Qin Feng hurled the flame orb with all his might. The triple-flame explosion orb vanished, reappearing instantly inside the palm of the green claw. Accelerated by the power of the three flames, the speed of the Heaven Fire was like a teleportation.

"Explode!"

As Qin Feng shouted the word, he simultaneously conjured a giant hand, reaching for the massive white egg.

"BOOM!"

The moment the massive explosion resounded, the entire demonic cavern shuddered violently. Fire spilled everywhere, and energy surged. The green claw was completely incinerated by the bizarre tri-colored fire, and the powerful impact created a massive shockwave that radiated outward in all directions.

As Qin Feng’s giant hand reached out, he threw himself into the Heavenly Demon Blood-Qiqi Coffin, using the recoil of the shockwave to resist the suction and fly backward out of the cavern.

He touched the egg!

But a bizarre twist occurred. At the crucial moment, the white egg shifted on its own. Not only did it successfully dodge Qin Feng’s grasp, causing him to grab at empty air, but it rolled into the innermost position among the seven eggs.

This was the spot originally occupied by a giant black egg, but after the white egg entered, it violently rammed the black egg out, aggressively claiming the innermost space for itself.

"To fall short at the final step!"

Qin Feng sighed, but the powerful shockwave was already upon him. The Heavenly Demon quickly closed the coffin lid, sealing out the fierce impact, though it was instantly engulfed by the force of the flame explosion.

Lying in the coffin, Qin Feng felt only violent shaking. Although he was uninjured, he knew that to protect him, the Heavenly Demon must have suffered some damage. He knew exactly how much destructive power his attack possessed; cultivators below the Heaven Realm would likely be skinned alive if they didn't die outright. It was simply heaven-defying!

"ROAR!"

With a howl of frustration, the ancient golden talisman in the darkness began to flicker rapidly. Several thick, golden chains suddenly appeared around the retreating green claw. The creature felt the pain and violently retracted its limb.

Qin Feng watched carefully; the grotesque green claw hadn't suffered any severe wounds, only the green flames wrapped around its palm had been significantly extinguished by his explosion. Clearly, this attack had been nothing more than a tickle to this demon.

In the end, it was the golden talisman that had truly suppressed the creature.

What kind of thing was inside, to be so powerful even while sealed, just by using a single claw?

Fortunately, this attack had allowed Qin Feng to escape the claw’s range, keeping him temporarily safe. The Heavenly Demon had been caught in the blast while protecting him, but having recently grown in strength and not being at the center of the explosion, it managed to withstand the recoil.

After the blast, the demonic mist thinned significantly. Walking out of the coffin, Qin Feng stared at the massive white egg still standing in the depths of the cavern, a cold glint in his eyes.

He had failed after all!

Despite his meticulous planning, he had failed in the end. Who could have guessed that the white egg would dodge him at the critical moment?

It must have been that lecherous toad interfering!

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. That creature feared him! It feared that the white egg would fall into his hands and that he would destroy it! That was why it had dodged.

"Cursed beast, it actually got away!" Qin Feng clenched his fists tightly.

Entering the cavern again was definitely out of the question. It wasn't fear, but the fact that the demon inside had clearly been caught off guard; to walk into the trap again would mean only one thing: death.

However, just as Qin Feng was filled with regret, his eyes suddenly narrowed. His gaze focused on a massive object flying toward him from the distance!

That was—

A giant black egg!
