A Witch Race warrior licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with greed and appetite.
Golden Crows!
A tremendous tonic!
At the front of the group stood a mountain-like, burly man with an ancient greatbow slung across his back.
It was none other than the Great Witch Da Yi, who had just accomplished an unparalleled feat!
There was still an Ice Divine Arrow, personally forged by Ancestral Witch Xuanming, in the quiver on his back.
He grinned viciously. "Hahaha! How should we deal with them? Skin them and pull out their tendons, of course!"
"Let the lads have a taste of what Golden Crow meat raised on the Sun Star is really like!"
As soon as Da Yi finished his grand declaration, the Witch Race warriors behind him swallowed in unison.
The flesh of the Demon Emperor's sons!
The temptation was simply too great!
To the low-ranking warriors of the Witch Race, powerful Demon Race creatures such as the Demon Emperor's descendants were not prey, but death warrants!
Only Ancestral Witches and Great Witches had the chance to even entertain such thoughts.
Lesser Wu like them would secretly rejoice if they got to gnaw on the leg bone of a Mystic Immortal little demon. Eating a Golden Immortal counted as a festival.
Even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal like Kua Fu had met his end while pursuing the Golden Crows, let alone them.
This time, it was entirely thanks to the Ancestral Witch's bestowed arrow and Da Yi's divine marksmanship that they had stumbled upon such an enormous windfall!
"The chief is wise!"
"Drag those Golden Crow brats back and light a fire!"
"Simmer them into a rich soup for three days and three nights! We'll suck every last bit of flavor from their bones!"
Having recovered their senses, the Witch Race warriors became wildly excited, their drool nearly forming a river.
Howling, they charged toward the center of the scorched earth.
They seemed to have forgotten how exactly one was supposed to roast a Golden Crow over a fire.
Or what kind of soup could possibly be made from a scorching Golden Crow.
They did not care. They simply kept howling.
[Second-stage evolution complete! Innate Divine Being form (human template) activated!]
The instant the System Prompt fell silent, a terrifying force surged into Lu Jun's newly formed body!
He lowered his head and "examined" this Innate Divine Being body, evolved through the collapse of a Neutron Star.
It was no longer his Golden Crow True Body, as immense as a star and hanging in the sky like a blazing sun.
Instead, it was a perfectly proportioned, highly condensed humanoid form.
Its muscles flowed in smooth lines, containing terrifying brute force capable of crushing stars!
He merely clenched his fist—
"Crackle! Sizzle—!"
Even the space around his knuckles twisted!
With every gesture, space let out groans of unbearable strain.
It was as though it could be torn apart at any moment by this utterly pure material force!
What shocked him even more was the terrifying heat source within his body!
It was no longer the True Sun Fire of a Golden Crow, radiating outward and incinerating all things!
Instead, it was a destructive energy that was supremely restrained yet boundlessly violent!
It was like compressing the raging core of a star and forcibly stuffing it into this human-shaped shell!
"Damn... this feeling... I'm so strong!"
"No wonder it's an Ancestral Witch's body!"
His gaze turned toward the approaching Witch Race warriors.
I'll use these Witch Race warriors to welcome my birth from the egg.
The Witch Race warriors strode aggressively into the heart of the scorched land, where nothing remained but magma.
The triumphant, vicious grin on Da Yi's face instantly froze!
Where was the Golden Crow corpse, huge as a mountain and reeking of burnt flesh?
At the very least, there should have been a gigantic Golden Crow ice sculpture frozen into a lump.
There was nothing.
Nothing at all?
There were only several enormous eggs of similar size, their surfaces flowing with a dim metallic sheen!
They stood eerily in the magma pool.
Around every egg, space curved inward in a strange, collapsed arc!
The light was forcibly distorted!
Aside from those eggs, there was only a figure with a terrifying body, still radiating horrifying heat.
"Huh? Are you a brother from the Zhu Rong Tribe?"
Seeing Lu Jun's physique and temperature, a Lesser Wu instinctively mistook him for someone from the Zhu Rong Tribe.
Lu Jun: "???"
He glanced at himself, then sensed the other party.
A powerful body, along with control over high temperatures.
That really did resemble the Zhu Rong Tribe.
After all, aside from the Witch Race, no one else could possess a body like his.
These Witch Race warriors had mistaken him for someone else.
With brains like these, they could dominate the Prehistoric World?
Lu Jun was speechless.
"What the hell are these things?"
A Witch Race warrior wielding a massive axe looked at the eight Golden Crow eggs.
"Where are the Golden Crows? Those nine enormous Golden Crows? Where are their corpses?"
"That's right, where are the Golden Crows? Why are they gone?"
Question marks seemed to flash above every Witch Race warrior's head.
How enormous were Golden Crows in their true forms?
Their wings could blot out the sky, and when they fell, they were like stars crashing down!
Although the eggs before them were not small, compared to an actual Golden Crow's true body, they were less than one-millionth the size of a Golden Crow Crown Prince!
"Brother from the Zhu Rong Tribe, did you see the fallen Golden Crows?"
They even searched while questioning Lu Jun.
Lu Jun's face darkened. The Demon Race was defeated by idiots like these?
Seeing that Lu Jun did not answer, they paid it no mind.
"Chief! There's nothing here! Only these strange eggs!"
"The Golden Crows' aura seems to be coming from these eggs? It's faint, but it's definitely there!"
At that moment, a Witch Race warrior who looked relatively "quick-witted" suddenly slapped his thigh.
Greedy light burst from his eyes. "I understand, Chief!"
"What do you understand?" Da Yi abruptly turned his head.
The Witch Race warrior excitedly pointed at the Star Eggs. "Demon Cores! These are the Golden Crows' Demon Cores!"
"Demon Cores?" Da Yi fell into thought.
"That's right, Demon Cores! The Golden Crow corpses must have been completely annihilated by Ancestral Witch Xuanming's power!"
"But Demon Cores are the cores formed from all the power they accumulated throughout their lives! Like the inner cores of those great demons, only larger and tougher!"
Upon hearing this, the other Witch Race warriors suddenly understood!
"That's right! It must be so! These are the Golden Crows' Demon Cores!"
"Demon Cores! And the Demon Cores of Golden Crow Crown Princes at that! They're far more nourishing than any meat! The power they contain is unimaginable!"
"Take them back to the tribe and offer them to the Ancestral Witches, or refine them ourselves!"
"Hahaha! A heaven-sent opportunity! Brothers, carry these Golden Crow Demon Cores back!"
That "clever" Witch Race warrior was ecstatic and could no longer restrain himself.
He was the first to rush toward the nearest Star Egg.
His large hand surged with tyrannical force as he tried to forcibly lift it!
"Hmph! Courting death!"
