Chapter 237 - Extinct Primordial Life Form
The gray robed cultivator tiptoed his way through the mountain, looking nervous and furtive.
He held his folding fan in one hand and a metal rod as thick as a finger in his other.
At the tip of the metal rod, a slender needle passed through it, constantly spinning and guiding his direction.
Once in a while, the gray robed cultivator would stop in his tracks and wait for the needle to stabilize in a certain direction before heading in that direction.
With the constant pauses, the gray robed cultivator’s speed was not fast.
“This old man’s Earth Spirit Ruler is not reliable at all. Spinning here and there, it’s not even giving me a fixed direction.”
The gray robed cultivator mumbled as he walked.
On the other side.
At the end of the cave stood a grayish-white oval object that was as tall as a person!
Su Zimo stared in disbelief as he muttered to himself, “That’s an… egg?”
What sort of a demon beast would lay such a massive egg?
Su Zimo came before the gigantic egg and reached out to touch and feel it.
There were no patterns on the egg, which meant that it had not been born for long; a month at best.
In that case, the phenomenon that the many cultivators witnessed a month ago should have been caused by the birth of this demon beast egg.
Su Zimo recalled all the information he had regarding demon beast eggs.
After a moment, he still could not recall anything about the sort of demon beasts that could possibly give birth to this frighteningly massive egg.
Night Spirit navigated through Su Zimo’s robes and arrived at his chest area before long, watching him with blinking eyes, seemingly showing off.
Gazing at the egg before him, Su Zimo frowned and pondered.
He had the feeling that if he were to connect the scattered pieces of information along the entire journey, he should be able to obtain an answer.
The stone pillars, the beam, the cave, the egg…
A flash of light flickered through Su Zimo’s mind.
At the thought of that possibility, Su Zimo’s expression changed starkly.
Back when he first saw the gray stone pillars in the sea of bones, Su Zimo was puzzled.
Why would there be so many stone pillars in the sea of bones?
Furthermore, the surface of those stone pillars were smooth as jade – why wasn’t there any trace of aging despite the gap between the primordial era and present times?
What sort of stone could be so resolute?
It was till this very moment that Su Zimo finally understood.
Those were not stone pillars at all!
Those were… bones!
It was the skeleton of an incomparably strong being in the past!
The two rows of ‘stone pillars’ were in reality the ribs of this powerful life form!
As for the even thicker ‘beam’ in the middle that was filled with spikes, that was the spine of the life form!
The reason why it was in the sea of bones was because they were bones to begin with!
This cave that he was in right now should have been opened up by the race of that terrifying life form!
Just what sort of a being was it that could have possessed such a frighteningly massive body?
Even after dying for so many years with its flesh decomposed, the bones were still smooth as jade and were immortal – what sort of cultivation realm did this life form possess in the past?
A primordial life form!
To think that primordial life forms which were already extinct in Tianhuang Mainland were buried here!
If there were no surprises, the gigantic egg before him should have been laid by that massive primordial life form.
At that thought, Su Zimo gulped.
Piak!
Suddenly, a crisp sound reverberated in the cave behind him.
Su Zimo’s pupils constricted instantly.
Sprawled against his chest, Night Spirit had actually reached out with its claws and… pierced the huge egg in front of them!
