Chapter 704: Chapter 699: The Slumbering Giant Egg
"Prince Nabo Gang has fallen!"
Every Sea Race Awakened watching the core battlefield situation felt their scalps tingle when they saw Nabo Gang killed, especially seeing him nailed like an ant on a twenty-meter long Gang Qi Blade.
"Run! Escape quickly, even Prince Nabo Gang died at his hands, none of us are his match."
"It seems Netherworld Demon God Salajael can’t hold on either..."
A group of Sea Race Awakened gave up the fight and scattered in escape.
This included the three Grand Generals: Pick, Haqin, and Babo.
They should thank Nabo Gang’s methods of handling subordinates. This Prince of the Sea, who came from casters, did not want too many Master-Servant Contracts to occupy his Spiritual Power Limit, so he did not sign Master-Servant Contracts with these Grand Generals.
Nabo Gang used methods such as controlling the families of his subordinate generals to force their loyalty.
Therefore, Nabo Gang’s fall did not cause a heavy backlash to these Grand Generals.
However, as Haqin and other Grand Generals of the Sea Race fled, they were also in an extremely bad mood.
Nabo Gang had deep connections on Stilan Star, which was also the reason he could control the families of various generals. Now that Nabo Gang was dead, when they returned, they would surely face severe interrogation, and any misstep could bring disaster upon their families.
But they no longer had time to think about this, they just had to run, escape this battlefield, and get out of Bai Pu’s sight!
As Sea Race Elites, Haqin and others had long exchanged for the Return Scrolls made by Divine Envoys.
The Advanced Spirit Realm hardly had return items; the Return Scroll made by Divine Envoys was a loophole in the rules, a backdoor painted on the wall.
But this special scroll made by Divine Envoys must not be used under the watchful eye of the Spirit Realm Will.
Ripping the scroll was essentially a call for Divine Power to descend from a Divine Envoy.
With Gaia’s Will overseeing, a Divine Envoy couldn’t possibly respond to the call.
Nabo Gang, when locked on by Bai Pu’s Doomsday Spear Cannon Bombardment, was not thinking of calling a Divine Envoy to return to reality, but rather of quickly using a Mirage Bubble to escape the scene.
Only by escaping the battlefield, out of sight of Bai Pu, this "seed candidate of Gaia’s Will," could the Return Scroll be used to leave.
Flying Fish Haqin, flying extremely fast, escaped first; Electric Eel Babo performed his talent’s Mystical Arts, slipped smoothly out of the encirclement, and also got away.
The top Awakened of the Huaxia Battle Group did not pursue blindly but surrounded the last Grand General, the Tiger Shark Sea Race’s Pick.
Other battle group Awakened moved to clear out the mid-to-lower-tier Sea Race invaders.
In mid-air.
Bai Pu let out a long breath. While unnoticed by everyone, a gray shadow flew out from Salajael’s massive body and entered into Bai Pu’s Heart Image Space.
Salajael’s colossal body rapidly fell, and the endless true red mist was quickly retracted.
The True Red Ghosts, True Red Executors, these monsters howled upward, then weathered into mist, being absorbed into Salajael’s body.
Boom——
Salajael’s colossal body crashed to the ground, a layer of Demon Fire surrounding its remains, quickly melting the ground and sinking Salajael’s body down.
"What’s going on?"
"It seems Salajael’s will couldn’t hold on, and in order to preserve the possibility of awakening in the future, he chose to sleep."
"I know, but it happened so suddenly... it’s as if Salajael’s will was suddenly extracted."
In the air, many Lords from the two great academies had a slight sense of confusion.
...
In Bai Pu’s Heart Image Space.
The voice of the Demon God’s remnant shadow, Fekalo, sounded:
"Well, I kept my promise and came back! Apologize quickly!"
Bai Pu was speechless and silently said in his mind: "I think you couldn’t break free from the binding of the Genetic Heart Image, and just used Salajael’s remains for a rebirth."
"Insignificant mortal! How dare you question a great Demon God..."
"Shut up, don’t keep chattering in my mind, or I’ll make you sleep for a thousand years!"
Fekalo’s aura instantly disappeared, only able to say aggrievedly: "My acting was decent, or else why would that octopus kid from the Sea Race be fooled? Seeing Salajael being deprived of the Heart of Fire Feathers, at the moment of sleep, he would try his best to flee! You might not have been able to catch up."
"You have your merits. Therefore, I will keep my promise and release you at a suitable time."
Bai Pu said indifferently.
As Fekalo said, at the instant of capturing the Heart of Fire Feathers, the Demon God Salajael’s will fell into a slumber.
This Demon God would require centuries of sleep to possibly grow a new Heart of Fire Feathers.
If Nabo Gang saw Salajael going offline, he would determine that the task of killing Bai Pu could not be completed, and might immediately flee.
This was unacceptable to Bai Pu; he agreed to Fekalo’s request, allowing Fekalo’s residual soul to temporarily inhabit Salajael’s body.
Bai Pu being ejected by Salajael, chased by Demon Fire and falling unconscious, was all an act.
Of course, Fekalo wasn’t so kind as to help Bai Pu. He wanted to use Salajael’s body to complete the rebirth in one fell swoop.
However, Fekalo was unable to break free from the binding of the Heart of Evolution. Bai Pu merely had to move slightly in his thoughts, and by contemplating Fekalo in the Genetic Heart Image, he "captured" him again.
Though Fekalo didn’t say it on the surface, he was extremely fearful of Bai Pu. He never imagined that Bai Pu, a mere mortal, could truly bind his remaining will.
In Fekalo’s eyes, Bai Pu’s identity now quickly evolved from that of an aborigine from a backward planet to someone profound and inscrutable.
"What exactly is your background, to have such a monstrous talent skill... could you be from the Divine Race? Awakened memories from past lives? No, even the most powerful Aesir, no Tier One possesses such an abnormal priority..."
Bai Pu coughed and in the Heart Image Space, materialized several shadows of Lords surrounding Fekalo.
Fekalo quickly fell silent, not daring to make a sound, playing meekly. He didn’t want to face the same fate as Salajael, ending up in a millennium-long slumber.
Bai Pu could finally calm down and check the notifications from the Spirit Realm Will.
[You killed the strongest of the Sea Race Otherworld Travelers without any external assistance: Nabo Gang.]
[You have completed the Major General Trial Task, would you like to advance now?]
[Reminder: Please try to find a relatively quiet environment, as advancing to Major General requires some time.]
Bai Pu decided not to advance yet. He opened his eyes and observed the current battlefield situation.
With Salajael falling into slumber, the strong ones from the two great academies, Garrison and Lorich, gathered around the descent point of Salajael’s body, around that circle of Demon Fire.
The Demon Fire had melted a depth of tens of meters, and from the surface, only a charred cavity could be seen.
Through the hole, Salajael was faintly visible as a gigantic purple egg. This giant egg was about a man’s height, elliptical in shape, resembling a dragon egg, yet the surface of the giant egg was soft, like a beating heart.
