Chapter 724: Chapter 660: Northern Divine Black Tortoise

’A little over a month... I wonder if that’s enough time.’

The giant egg Tu Xiao’an had thrown was the synthesis of a Dragon Snake, blessed with incredible luck, and a Divining Celestial-Turtle, a being of great fortune.

Its final form would naturally be the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Great Divine Beasts.

However, it had only been a little over a month since its evolution began, and Tu Xiao’an had been left with no other choice but to toss the egg out.

With a great enemy before him, every bit of extra strength counted.

He wanted to completely shatter the psychological defenses of these tribal leaders.

"Come out, my Black Tortoise!" Tu Xiao’an floated before the Snake Palace Castle. Like all the other Demons, he stared intently at the giant egg, his heart filled with both excitement and anticipation.

This was a unique evolution, a synthesis of two noble creatures. Even Tu Xiao’an had no idea what the result would be.

"Look! What is that?"

A Demon cried out in alarm. Above the giant egg, which was ensnared in the Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch’s Celestial Net, a host of clouds descended. They were a brilliant red, making it look as though the sky itself was on fire.

"Fiery clouds?"

The fiery clouds were constantly changing. One moment, they were fiery red; the next, brilliant gold; then, half-purple and half-yellow. Finally, their color and form stabilized, settling into a deep purple.

"Those are purple Xiangyun! My heavens!"

A born Auspicious Beast, purple energy from the east, the sun and moon shining as one, wreathed in iridescent mist.

What in the world was inside that giant egg? It hadn’t even hatched, and it was already shrouded in purple Xiangyun. The sheer pageantry was overwhelming.

Even the previous Divine Beast, the White Tiger, hadn’t received such treatment.

The egg had yet to crack, but all the Demons stared, mesmerized, at the purple Xiangyun floating above. It was a sight of indescribable nobility.

CRACK...!

Suddenly, a hole appeared in the giant egg. All the Demons stared in shock at the extraordinary object. The Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch’s expression was one of utter bewilderment, as if she couldn’t get a handle on the situation at all.

The more powerful the creature that hatched from the egg, the worse it would be for her. It seemed she was destined to follow in the Saint Peng King’s footsteps.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a Snake Head poked out of the giant egg. Like a newly hatched snakelet, it seemed filled with curiosity about the outside world.

"A snake?" Inside the giant egg was a Snake.

PHEW...!

The Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch secretly sighed in relief. She had thought it would be some Divine Beast, but it was just a Snake. All that suspense had her heart pounding for nothing.

’All that smoke and mirrors, just for show.’

She didn’t even deign to look at the Snake King of the Snake Race, so what did this Snake from an egg matter?

However, even though only its head was showing, this was no ordinary Snake Species. It shimmered with a purple light; it was a purple-striped Snake that looked incredibly noble.

Just then, the purple Xiangyun lingering above began to move. It floated directly down and hovered in front of the purple Snake Head emerging from the egg.

What happened next made the watching Demons question their very existence. The Snake Head leaned forward and took a bite out of the Xiangyun. It began to happily munch on the cloud as if it were cotton candy, a look of pure delight on its face.

Wh-what...!

The tribal leaders: "..."

What was that all about???

CRACK... Another hole appeared in the giant egg. A jet-black turtle’s head bizarrely poked out, also took a bite of the purple Xiangyun, and began to eat it joyfully.

’What does Xiangyun taste like?’

"There are two creatures in this giant egg?" The tribal leaders were stunned.

Could there be a turtle and a Snake inside?

Countless questions swirled in the minds of the Demons. They could only stare, dumbfounded, as the two heads happily devoured the purple Xiangyun, completely ignoring the crowd as if they were nothing but air.

A vast and priceless expanse of Xiangyun was devoured by the two heads in just a few quick bites.

The sight completely shattered the Demons’ worldview.

ROAR... HISS...!

BOOM...!

The moment the Xiangyun was eaten, the giant egg suddenly exploded. The Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch’s Celestial Net vanished along with it. Immediately after, the ground shook violently, as if something weighing thousands of tons had crashed down.

In that instant, dust billowed and rubble flew.

"How is this possible?" Watching the show from high above, the Yellow Demon King and the Gray Demon King were both dumbstruck. The sight made them feel deeply unsettled.

As the dust settled, a colossal beast appeared on the ground, radiating an incredibly terrifying and majestic aura.

It was a gigantic, jet-black turtle lying on the ground. Its shell rose high off its back like a small mountain, and most incredibly, a long, slender, purple Snake was coiled around that towering shell. The entire scene was breathtakingly shocking.

A turtle and a Snake?

One on top of the other?

They seemed to be connected, intertwined and inseparable, one within the other.

For their majestic aura was a single, unified whole.

The aura of a Divine Beast blotted out the sky, washing over the vast land as recklessly as a raging tempest.

"Oh no! It’s the Black Tortoise! It’s the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Great Divine Beasts!"

The Deer Power Demon King, one of the tribal leaders, cried out. He saw it clearly; there was no mistaking it.

It was said that the Black Tortoise was a Spiritual Object formed from the combination of a turtle and a Snake. The colossal beast that had hatched from the egg was the very image of this legend. It was a perfect match.

’Fine, this is normal. A Cyan Dragon, a White Tiger... what’s a Black Tortoise now?’

’Standard playbook, just a normal move.’

Yet, a profound bitterness filled their hearts. They desperately wanted to turn and flee. What kind of being was this King of the Snake Clan? Was he sent down by the Jade Emperor from the Celestial Court just to toy with them?

Why did all the Divine Beasts end up as his Battle Companions?

"Go for it, Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch! If you can kill the Black Tortoise, your renown will surpass that of the Fox Race’s Fox Immortal King, and you’ll become the number one beauty in the Yaoling Mountain Range!"

After taking a few deep breaths, the tribal leaders offered some "encouragement" to the petrified Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch.

No matter what came out of this giant egg, it had nothing to do with them.

The Snake Demon King had specified by name that it was a gift for the Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch.
