Peerless Divine Doctor
Chapter 2226 - 2227: Tricked by the Egg
"Master, aren’t we going to do body refinement today?" Nuonuo asked, puzzled.
Ever since she acquired the Great Saint Physique, she hasn’t had a proper rest.
Ye Luo shook his head with a smile, "Excess is detrimental. Although this body technique seems better if cultivated more urgently, your state of mind can’t withstand it. Over time, it may give rise to a heart demon. At that point, it would be counterproductive!"
Nuonuo nodded in a daze, knowing that what Ye Luo said must be correct.
"That’s great! I can have a nice sleep today!"
With that, she tilted her head and fell fast asleep.
Previously, she was plagued by illness, tortured day and night by pain. But now, as her body became stronger, the illness naturally dissipated and the pain disappeared.
However, she hadn’t properly enjoyed herself because of cultivation.
Now that her mind was relaxed, she fell asleep immediately.
Moreover, since birth until now, she had never slept so comfortably.
Ye Luo shook his head with a wry smile, thinking to let her sleep a bit longer!
He was also contemplating how to re-enter that Demon Beast Ridge.
He even considered simply searching for the Nihility Mother’s Essence. After all, he had the mecha!
But he immediately dismissed this thought. His enemies were increasing, and the appearance of the mecha would surely incite pursuit from those old undying ones. Just today, to shake off those old guys, the mecha would need to circle in the air countless times.
Therefore, he needed to look for higher-grade demon beasts to move more effortlessly.
Once he set the goal, he sat cross-legged and began meditating.
However, at midnight, a sudden rumbling sound came, followed by intense shaking of the ground.
This is? Ye Luo suddenly opened his eyes!
It’s the Heavenly Punishment! He immediately confirmed it, as the power felt identical to the Heavenly Punishment that appeared that day! Or it could be said to be the might of the Heavenly Dao!
Nuonuo also opened her sleepy eyes.
"Master, what’s wrong?"
"The Heavenly Punishment has appeared!" Ye Luo said gravely, though he was rapidly calculating the gains and losses in his mind! Should he set off to Demon Beast Ridge now?
"Rest up, we’ll head out immediately. Taking advantage of the chaos is the best chance for us to sneak in. Otherwise, if we wait for daylight, it’ll be much more dangerous and difficult to get in."
"Okay, Master, I’ve rested long enough and am ready!"
Then, the two figures quickly headed towards Demon Beast Ridge.
At this moment, just as Ye Luo expected, there was chaos under Demon Beast Ridge.
Not only that, but on Demon Beast Ridge, it was already covered in lightning, completely transformed into an ocean of thunder.
Seeing this scene, Ye Luo was also stupefied.
The power of Heavenly Punishment is terrifying!
Even a single flash of lightning could easily annihilate Ye Luo!
The might of the heavens is unpredictable, the might of the heavens cannot be defied! Ye Luo finally understood this principle.
And Nuonuo clung tightly to Ye Luo, clearly never having encountered such formidable strength.
Fortunately, this power wasn’t aimed at them.
The real chaos was not the Heavenly Punishment, but the demon beasts fleeing from Demon Beast Ridge.
These demon beasts couldn’t withstand the terrifying Heavenly Punishment and fled.
Ye Luo then understood why the cultivators below the mountain didn’t enter the forest but stayed below waiting like onlookers.
Moreover, the divisions of large forces now played a role: once a demon beast entered a designated territory, it belonged to that force.
Many of these demon beasts were already severely wounded, making them not too difficult to capture.
There were even quite a few demon beasts actively seeking refuge in the Sect, hoping for healing.
After all, these demon beasts had high realms, and thus high spiritual intelligence.
This left Ye Luo somewhat troubled. He couldn’t just barge into the large sects and steal food from the tiger’s mouth! It’s not like before when many people recognized him; going rashly might cost him more than benefit!
But he couldn’t leave it alone either!
And Nuonuo was blinking her big eyes, watching Ye Luo, seemingly waiting for his decision.
Just as Ye Luo was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately pulled out an egg from the Qiankun Bag!
"Master, what is this?" Nuonuo asked, puzzled.
But Ye Luo had no time to explain because the egg began to move.
Originally, Ye Luo had snatched this egg from the bandits and hadn’t thought much of it, believing it was just an ordinary demon beast egg!
Later, he realized that demon beasts don’t rely on such eggs for inheritance; they directly nurture their offspring!
So, what exactly is this egg?
Ye Luo thought perhaps a particular type of demon beast that lays eggs!
But now, the egg was restless.
It even had an urge to dash out!
Rushing out was one thing, but now a tremendous force was pulling Ye Luo, even making him appear to fly!
Indeed, fly!
Ye Luo widened his eyes, never having encountered such bizarre circumstances!
Moreover, the power of the egg grew stronger, even restricting Ye Luo’s ability to move.
Ye Luo’s current physical body was immensely powerful, even the old undying ones couldn’t manage this!
He was truly shocked and swore that if given another chance, he’d never pick up eggs again!
But now, it was too late!
Suddenly, Ye Luo began to rise, and the strange power from the egg pulled him towards Demon Beast Ridge.
Ye Luo’s eyes widened in shock.
Oh my gosh! That’s the Heavenly Punishment! Going there is a sure path to death!
But Ye Luo couldn’t expect the egg to understand his words.
"Master!" Nuonuo called loudly from below.
Ye Luo was also worried. If he left, Nuonuo would hardly survive here.
Just then, he noticed a beam of light flying directly over.
It’s the mecha! The mecha that was chased by those old guys during the day finally shook them off.
But even its arrival couldn’t save Ye Luo because the power affecting Ye Luo wasn’t something the mecha could withstand.
"Go protect Nuonuo and wait for my return!"
Ye Luo snarled at the mecha.
"Damn it, Master, I can’t do that! You’ll die like this!"
"Get lost, if you come over, I’ll immediately destroy the Divine Kingdom!"
The mecha then turned and flew towards the ground. Seeing this, Ye Luo finally felt relieved!
However, in the next moment, his heart sank again.
Under the influence of the force, he turned into a beam of light, rushing toward the sea of lightning.
"Oh my gosh!" Ye Luo shouted loudly.
But no one paid him any mind.
