Chapter 326: The Secret of the Time Clan
[Time Dragon Egg]: The egg of a Time Dragon, the leader of the Time Clan in the long river of time.
The Time Clan, full of terrifying existences with endless lifespans, coexisting and dying with the long river of time. Even if billions of worlds are shattered, the long river of time can still be eternal and flow toward the distant future.
However, in these tens of millions of years, an earth-shattering battle has once occurred. The Time Clan experienced defeat in that battle. While an unknown strangeness has occupied the long river of time since then, the rest fled to the origin world.
Alas, the origin world was destroyed, too, so the entire Time Clan perished. As the last hope of reviving the Time Clan, the dragon egg was transported into a vast and endless void.
Although the Time Clan was no more, the long river of time had not been destroyed. After a long time passed, they could finally recover in the long river of time and this Time Dragon egg was the key to their revival before the strangeness completely invaded the long river of time.
At this time, though, the Dragon Egg has been discovered by that strangeness and is being transformed by that strangeness. They are preparing to steal the luck of the Time Clan completely and completely transform everything into strangeness.
This Time Dragon egg has been transformed by more than 70%. Taking away its untransformed origin means obtaining the luck of the Time Dragon Clan and gaining their favor.
This luck can help life jump out of the long river of time. From then on, it will not be affected by time, and life is in the hands of itself. They can peep into its future and find its energy…]
This was what Su Bai had seen before his eyes.
He had no idea that a Time Dragon egg could involve so many concealments.
Long river of time!
That was something he had never seen before, let alone the Time Clan that had once stood as the guardian of it.
To him, these were all too powerful and ancient existences and legendary folklores.
He was afraid that Wang Yize and the others outside did not have the slightest clue on the secrets of this egg.
“Hasi!”
Time Ghost pointed to a time seal floating on one side of the altar, indicating that the origin of its soul was there.
“I see. Don’t worry.” He caressed its head and said. The altar was full of strange long hair-like transparent tentacles, so now he was unsure how to pass.
These tentacles were strange things that even the Time Clan had lost to, and he was even less likely to defeat it. If he rashly touched them, he was likely to be in great danger.
“Howl~” Ah Bai, I also feel that it’s best not to act rashly. Those things are too weird; we can’t deal with them!
Purple Jade expressed its support to him.
“Roar.” It’s best not to touch those things. They give me a very, very dangerous feeling. Once they come into contact with your body, you probably won’t be able to get rid of them anymore.
Little Blood Dragon also warned him. Pets had instinctual fear, which was an absolute perception of danger.
“Hasi!”
Time Ghost waved its small hand, indicating that as long as it issued an attack to break the time seal, it could summon its own origin soul.
“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you get the soul fragments back. Trust me.”
He caressed its head comfortingly. After all, the chance to get rid of the shackles completely was right in front of Ultimate Invincible, so it was normal for it to become anxious.
Under his assurance, the ghost finally calmed down and followed him. Its eyes still stared at its sealed soul on the altar, though.
What are you going to do next? The elf glanced at him.
“I already have a plan.” Su Bai smiled.
He first let Planet Eye fly around the altar to check the situation.
Finally, he confirmed that there was no treasure in this place and there was really nothing else except the altar.
“1314, where are those people now?”
Planet Eye had left a clone behind on each layer.
“Those people are now in the fourth layer. They have found the traces we left behind and have determined that there are people ahead of them.
“Now, they all have joined hands and are working hard to break the barriers, so their speed has greatly increased. We can expect them to arrive in an hour—maybe even twenty minutes if they’re fast enough,” Planet Eye responded.
“I see.” Su Bai nodded and turned to look at Starry Omnivore Kraken. “Come and swallow some space to create Mist of Destruction.”
“Onom~”
Its eyes lit up and it flicked its tail excitedly.
The kraken followed him and gnawed wildly along the way, chewing out thousands of big holes above the altar. Dense Mist of Destruction spread from the kraken, and it did not take long for it to spread across this layer.
“Okay. Now, come to me and don’t move. Activate Dark Diving as we hide here. Once those people draw near, we’ll see what the consequences of touching that strangeness are before we act,” Su Bai found a rather hidden location and said.
“Roar?” Why don’t we just hide inside the Mist of Destruction? Anyway, Pipi isn’t afraid of it, asked Little Tyrant, feeling baffled.
There was still the possibility of being discovered if they hid here, but they would never be discovered if they hid in the Mist of Destruction.
Su Bai could not help but pat its head. “By the time they come in, the Mist of Destruction will have spread to us. Pipi can’t be immune to the Mist of Destruction the entire time.
“Also, though the Mist of Destruction is safe, we can’t see the outside from it.”
“Roar~” Okay, I was a smart aleck. I’ll go punish myself by eating thirty tons of ore.
The dino bumped its own head with its fist.
Su Bai: “…”
Of course, there were many small clones of Planet Eye nearby, all disguised randomly and staying in different positions in case of emergency.
After everything was set in place, it was a long wait. Those people were slower than expected. They did not arrive even after half an hour, and the Mist of Destruction had already filled the place at this point.
The dino, elf, and ghost were already playing games out of boredom. They sat on the ground and would laugh joyfully from time to time.
Ultimate Invincible would even occasionally raise its chubby hands to cheer, completely forgetting about regaining its soul fragment.
After another ten minutes passed, violent law fluctuations came. A few minutes later, the barrier outside the altar shattered and a group of people rushed in.
They then could not help but take a few steps back.
“Oh, my God! It’s the Mist of Destruction again. Who’s in front of us?” It was the silver-haired, elven-eared girl who had just asked this question.
“It’s still here; the Time Dragon is still here!”
Someone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Time Dragon egg, which was still on the altar.
If this had been taken away, then they had really come here in vain.
Wang Yize turned his head and looked at the thousands of Mist of Destruction around. He got this feeling that the person responsible for the Mist of Destruction’s appearance had not yet left and was still lurking in the dark.
No, the person had likely not left yet.
“Look at this Time Dragon egg; what’s the red and black mist? Why does it give people a terrifying feeling?” Wei Qingqing of the Giant Kraken Gymnasium asked aloud from next to Wang Yize.
“That’s an unknown matter; it’s full of deep sins,” the old missionary held the cross in front of his chest and said piously.
The only ones who did not speak were the strongest team, which was headed by the white-robed man with a height of more than 2.5 meters.
At this time, the white-robed man had taken off his large hat, revealing a human head with a pair of white horns. He had white pupils, and a muscular body that seemed to contain infinite power.
He looked at the egg of Time Dragon and fell into silence. The situation seemed to be beyond his expectation.
“It turned out that you’re a member of the Twelve Dragon Slayers. You should be the legendary White Dragon King.”
Seeing the appearance of this white-robed man, Su Bai immediately understood his might.
Because of Wei Ya, he had a deep understanding of the Twelve Dragon Slayers organization.
He knew the appearance of each of them.
This White Dragon King was amazing, and he guessed that he might be a true legendary-level Pet Tamer.
“My lord, do we need to look for that hidden bug?” the Catholic cardinal behind the old missionary asked at this time.
“No, you go and take out the Time Dragon Dan and I will purify her,” the old missionary said.
“Okay.”
The cardinal nodded, letting loose two light-attribute Holy Light Butterflies of the low-level sovereign to the altar.
The other three groups took a look and did not stop him, thinking that someone should test the waters.
Naturally, Su Bai, who was hiding in the void, did not do anything at this time.
These two butterflies flapped their wings and flew over. They had just flown to the top of the altar when the strange and transparent long hair-like tentacles, which had remained motionless all this time, suddenly reacted, entwining both monsters’ bodies at a terrifying speed.
The butterflies immediately emitted strong holy lights to try and burn the weird creature, but it was completely useless. The gray mist filled out, and the butterflies blackened at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally turning into a burned color. Both had obviously died.
It was as if strong sulfuric acid had been poured on two ordinary butterflies.
Seeing this situation, everyone’s expression changed involuntarily. The strangeness was too terrifying. When it launched an attack, it could automatically add time to speed up the attack. The strange gray mist it had released was also unheard of; the two butterflies did not have the chance to resist at all.
“Oh, n-no no no no—help!”
Just when everyone thought that everything was over, a large amount of gray mist suddenly appeared on two bishops, digging into their seven apertures.
“Oh, my God! Kill them quickly! They have become infested with evil!” the old missionary shouted when he saw this scene.
The immortal Holy Beetle on his shoulder flew out and summoned a golden stream, which enveloped the two bishops, instantly wiping them out and leaving no traces behind.
The golden streamer then turned into a cluster of flames; in the center of the flames was the gray mist which constantly twisted, giving everyone the impression that it was made up of countless small bugs.
Although this gray mist was trapped, it still twisted without fear of the powerful holy light and raging fire.
“Seal it! Oh, my God! What in the world is this evil?” The old missionary’s face changed.
His attack could not destroy the gray mist.
The Holy Beetle temporarily sealed it off with holy fire, and the storm calmed down for now.
The old missionary’s face looked very uglyl he had directly killed two of his men.
“Everyone, did you see that? This gray fog and long hair-like things are so weird; I think that we should work together to take out the Time Dragon egg. We don’t have much time left!” the old missionary looked at the others and said.
Now that the weird and long hair-like tentacles had been disturbed, it had started to spread everywhere, and the Mist of Destruction was also spreading faster and faster. Time was indeed running out.
“Don’t tell me that you think we can solve this gray fog by working together? Not in the slightest!”
White Dragon King looked at the old missionary and gave a sneer.
“Do you know the origin of this thing?” The old missionary looked at White Dragon King without feeling annoyed.
“This strange thing destroyed the powerful Time Clan. Most of the Time Dragon egg has been transformed by it. If we want to obtain benefits, we must break it and obtain its uncontaminated source,” White Dragon King looked at the old missionary and explained coldly, looking very arrogant.
“Break the dragon egg?”
The silver-haired, elven-eared girl showed a trace of hesitation.
“Do you still want to swallow it alone? You do it and we’ll watch.”
It was Wei Qingqing of Giant Kraken Gymnasium who had spoken this time.
The silver-haired, elven-eared girl frowned, with an urge to tear the speaker’s mouth apart.
“I agree to working together with the goal to destroy the Time Dragon egg,” Wang Yize concurred at this time.
“I agree, too,” the silver-haired, elven-eared girl said coldly.
“I have no objection,” the old missionary said.
“Very well. At least you’re not a bunch of idiots.”
White Dragon King snorted and looked around again. “The guy who is hiding, you’d better come out now, or else you’ll become everyone’s enemy.”
“Roar.” Only fools will expose themselves willingly, Little Tyrant grumbled.
“Very well. Let’s start! Don’t hold back as we only have one chance. If we fail, this strangeness will be triggered completely.”
White Dragon King released a black mid-level immortal monster, Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish.
This was a large, fat fish with a turquoise green body. It did not seem to be special, but it exuded the aura of plague and chaos.
Seeing this monster, the old missionary, Wang Yize, and the silver-haired, elven-eared girl all showed looks of shock.
This person actually had a mid-level immortal monster.
Especially the silver-haired, elven-eared girl, she did not expect that this arrogant person with a horn on his head actually possessed power that was not inferior to her. He even had such a high-level pet.
After recovering from their shock, they also released their pets and condensed a series of powerful attacks.
“Attack.”
With a cold shout from White Dragon King, the demon fish attacked. It flicked its tail and an attack backed by gray law flew out.
The attacks of other people were also launched at this time. Together, they flew to the Time Dragon egg.
The gray mist, which felt their concerted attacks, flew up quickly and condensed a gray shield to protect the Time Dragon egg.
Powerful attacks from the immortal and sovereign monsters flew toward it one after another, each capable of destroying the world.
The concentration of power in their attacks was something even a high-level immortal monster could not resist.
The gray fog shield persisted for four or five seconds before it shattered completely, and then their concerted attacks accurately smashed onto the Time Dragon egg.
The sound of the cracking of the egg shell spread. Bursts of light flashed, and fragments of the Time Dragon egg shell flew about.
Looking closely, except for 30% of the transparent liquid, the dragon babe had condensed into a transparent crystal, which exuded the original breath of time. The remaining 70%, meanwhile, was in the form of a strange red mist, which exuded the aura of strangeness.
Instead of spreading out, they disappeared out of thin air in a strange manner.
“Oh, no!” someone exclaimed, horrified to see that their pets had been entangled in the strange red mist.
Under the catalysis of the red mist, the form and aura of these monsters skyrocketed.
In an instant, they had turned into large black and red monsters. They had no skin, only muscle knots, which looked hideous and thick. Thick blood vessels also protruded from their bodies. A bizarre, red mist swirled around the newly transformed pets. At that moment, these monsters had turned into a strange species, which had never been seen before.
Not only that. Everyone discovered that red mist had polluted their contract books. The source of the red mist was naturally the contract pages of the pets, which had become contaminated, before them.
Everyone was shocked to the extreme. The red mist was almost pervasive and too bizarre.
With a tearing sound, these people could no longer care too much and directly tore and discarded their contract pages.
After all this was done, they were relieved to see that the red mist did not spread further.
“Despicable!”
At this time, most people came back to their senses, only to find that three people on the scene had been prepared and had not received the strange red mist at all.
White Dragon King in a white robe and Wang Yize in a Taoist robe buried their heads in the clear crystals scattered about.
The other was an Electromagnetic Satellite Monster that had sneaked in unknowingly. It hugged a transparent crystal, which contained at least 10% of the Time Dragon egg’s origin, and a crystal stone with a time seal. The satellite monster then quickly ran back into the Mist of Destruction.
As it reached the edge of the Mist of Destruction, this Electromagnetic Satellite Monster was instantly destroyed. Frightening wisps of red mist flew out from the crystal, too.
Just when everyone thought that the thing was about to fall out, a special aura appeared and took it into the depths of the Mist of Destruction.
“D*mn it! Come out if you’ve got the ability!”
Wei Qingqing cursed.
Both Wang Yize and White Dragon King silently glanced at the Mist of Destruction, while they navigated through the weird, gray-and-red mist as well as the contaminated monsters. They took away the transparent crystals containing the origin of the transformed Time Dragon egg.
Others did not have the luxury to curse. At this moment, the dragon’s origin crystals were rapidly dwindling, and they were in fact substantially fewer than before. Everyone quickly joined in on the grabbing of crystals.
Even the weird, red mist was caught in the fight for the origin crystals.
Just as the red mist swept away a part of the Time Dragon’s origin, it seemed to feel the approach of the Mist of Destruction. It quickly turned into a thin mist, which dissipated somewhere unknown.
Even most of the red mist that had penetrated into the transformed monsters withdrew and left the area.
After the red mist left, these monsters quickly turned into ashes, having been swallowed by it in that short period.
For some reason, the strange fog came fiercely but also left in a hurry.
Soon, only the people snatching the origin crystals of varying weights could be seen on the scene. They looked at one another.
