Chapter 210: Chapter 185: Creature Within the Egg

The first thing to emerge from the egg of flesh and blood was the sharp blade of a halberd.

Upon seeing the blade, crafted from gold and iron, like a sharp sword, the immense giant’s heart sank. He had seen this blade before; this was not something those bone-made halberd blades could compare to—this was the true Overlord Halberd itself.

Under the sunlight, the Overlord Halberd no longer had its previous old and worn-out appearance. Instead, it glimmered with a sharp, cold light, as if announcing its infinite dominance’s return to the world.

And this infinite dominance was now held in someone’s hand.

It was a powerful and robust hand; just by looking at its strong bones and tendons, one could fear that it might crush a human head with a single grasp—but what was most striking were the shimmering feather patterns on it.

These feather patterns, flowing with a fiery glow, were extremely intricate, yet not cumbersome. Instead, they brought a unique elegance to that terrifyingly large hand.

It was the ultimate beauty brought by ultimate violence. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

And following the halberd-holding right hand, the equally strong left hand reached out, followed by an upper body also adorned with fiery patterns. Under the light of the fire, the arms were thick as iron pillars, the solid shoulders as sturdy as armor, and the distinct, firm muscles between the chest and abdomen were the embodiment of pure power.

But what was most eye-catching was the wide, thick back, like a wall.

On that back, with its knotted muscles, lay the ultimate dream that every martial artist could only aspire to—that grotesque, ghostly muscle contour was the ultimate manifestation of violence. As the solid back unfurled, a pair of fiery-patterned wings extended, scattering countless flaming feathers as the Celestial God-like figure finally soared into the sky.

"This is it..."

Under the falling fiery feathers, the War God-like figure tried clenching his fist.

"This is what I wanted."

Then, he swung the halberd down towards the ground.

Pure power brought forth pure violence, and even the Overlord Halberd was dyed crimson by the firelight.

The remaining imperial tomb also completely collapsed under this halberd strike.

But the immense giant still stood on the ground. Even though he was covered in wounds, looking like he’d been cut a thousand times, he still raised his twin blades to block the incoming halberd strike, blocking this lethal attack.

This couldn’t help but make the figure in the air take notice.

"Incredible, you traitor."

In mid-air, the figure with extended wings lowered his head.

"You really managed to train yourself into something."

"...Huh?"

The immense giant was suddenly stunned.

This tone...

It wasn’t Du Chengfeng.

Although he had only met that Du Chengfeng guy twice, he still had a vivid impression of his tone—that lazy, casual way of speaking that conveyed a sense of lack of ambition.

Unlike now, filled with arrogance and defiance.

There was even something inexplicably familiar.

Yes, familiar. He had definitely heard a similar voice before, no, it wasn’t even the voice itself, but a feeling, an incredibly familiar feeling.

"What’s wrong, child?"

Seeing the confused look on the immense giant’s face, the figure flying in the air shook his head.

"Do you not even recognize your father?"

"You..."

The immense giant clenched his teeth, initially thinking this was some kind of trash talk.

But in his sight, the figure flying in the air reached out and wiped his own face.

And after the firelight dispersed, the face reflected in the immense giant’s eyes was shockingly familiar.

That malevolence, that ruthlessness, that inhuman ferocity, he would remember for a lifetime.

Indeed, the man flying in the air was right; this person was qualified to claim to be his father.

Simply because he was created by this man.

"Consciousness transfer?"

The immense giant’s expression turned extremely ugly.

"You actually succeeded?"

"We did, but couldn’t find a suitable host."

In mid-air, the sinister-faced man shook his head with a sigh.

"Do you know, child, this halberd was originally prepared for you, my boy. After all, you wanted so badly to become king and ruler... But this thing couldn’t be handed to you directly, because you were smart and suspicious. Still, the value of this halberd was high enough that as long as you killed all the remaining Chus, it would eventually fall into your hands."

Weaklings would be deprived of everything, while the strong could seize everything. Only the strong were worthy of the mightiest weapon, this should have been a flawless plan.

But plans have a way of changing. When setting all this up, the former sinister-faced man could never have imagined that this world-conquering, empire-establishing Immortal Body was, at its core, a feeble weakling.

The remaining Chus were not completely exterminated, and through generations, these weak Chu remnants had long forgotten the glory and dominance of the past. Such trash was unworthy as hosts, those weak remnants couldn’t even bear this consciousness.

Even if they were descendants of the old Chu.

"Fortunately, I was lucky enough; even if this halberd didn’t fall into your hands, I found another suitable vessel."

The sinister-faced man smiled.

"Although a bit immature compared to your mature Immortal Body, precisely because of this, this body has enough room for growth... Don’t look at me like that, that’s not how you look at a father. Do you have nothing to say about your betrayal?"

"You bastard!"

The immense giant let out a thunderous roar, and his twin blades flew toward the figure in the sky.

But another figure was even faster than him.

It was the golden-winged roc, flapping its wings, holding a trident aimed straight at the sinister man’s face!

"What are you! You’re not worthy to fly in the sky with me!"

Twisting the trident with both hands, the golden-winged roc’s speed suddenly surged again!

"Get down!"

"What are you?"

The sinister man flying in the air frowned.

"Where’d you steal the Chu’s technology from? Was it revealed to you by Xiang Rong, that unworthy descendant? Whatever, it’s irrelevant."

Saying this, the Overlord Halberd gently swept.

The golden-winged roc, originally swift as lightning, fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

With just one strike, it proved that the immortal phoenix was the true king of all birds.
