Monster Spawning Cage and Ice Flood Dragon Egg

Jiang Tingting nodded and replied, "Yes, there's an Ice Flood Dragon Egg at the bottom of the cold pool. However, Senior Fang, it's likely a stillborn."

"Legend has it that this Ice Flood Dragon Egg was dug out from the belly of an Ice Flood Dragon after a Jiang Family senior killed it for ravaging a star domain countless years ago.

"The egg was already congenitally deficient due to insufficient gestation time, and it was further damaged during the battle, causing its shell to crack and its life force to drain away.

"That senior, marveling at its extraordinary bloodline, placed it in the cold pool at the foot of the mountain and sealed it with the Taiyin Moon Essence Ice, hoping that the spiritual energy of the cold pool would slowly nourish its life force and compensate for its congenital deficiencies.

"If it could successfully hatch, this Ice Flood Dragon with its exceptional bloodline, once slightly cultivated, could become a brand-new asset for our Jiang Family.

"But after ten thousand years, this Ice Flood Dragon has still not hatched. Now, I fear even its last bit of life force has long since dissipated."

Fang Zheng didn't pay much attention to these details and directly said, "Take me to see it. I want to try the Monster Spawning Box."

Jiang Tingting was a bit confused, not knowing what a Monster Spawning Box was, but she still nodded and continued to lead the way, flying towards a cold pool at the foot of the mountain.

Far below the mountain, there was a cold pool.

However, calling it a cold pool was more like calling it a large lake.

It was like a solidified piece of ink jade, embedded in a vast expanse of black, chaotic rocks.

On the ink-black surface of the water, a frost that froze everything permeated year-round. Even the direct sunlight at noon couldn't stir the slightest reflection from the water's surface.

All light seemed to be directly swallowed by the abyss-like water.

Although Fang Zheng's Block Person body couldn't feel the temperature of the water, wherever Fang Zheng's gaze landed, he could see thick ice covering the surrounding rocks.

But what was interesting was that despite the thick ice covering the surroundings, the water surface showed no signs of freezing. Instead, it was as calm and still as black crystal.

Occasionally, faint blue light spots, like marsh lights, would appear on the pitch-black water surface and vanish in an instant. Viewed from a low altitude, it looked like countless stars constantly flickering in and out of existence.

"It's quite beautiful."

Seeing this, Fang Zheng unhesitatingly descended directly into the cold pool. Jiang Tingting hesitated slightly before following him down.

The deeper they went, the darker it became. In this pitch-black pool, just a few meters down, not a single ray of light could be seen.

Fang Zheng mused, "This is clearly a pool of ink water, pitch-black and deathly dull."

Even after drinking the Night Vision Potion, Fang Zheng found he couldn't see anything.

After all, the Night Vision Potion only allowed one to see clearly in darkness; it was naturally powerless against things that were completely obscured.

This indicated that the cold pool's water wasn't just dark because it was deep, but because it was inherently black.

So, he simply activated Spectator Mode, allowing his body and vision to penetrate the endless darkness and look downwards.

Jiang Tingting, who was following behind Fang Zheng, suddenly frowned and thought to herself, "Why did Senior suddenly disappear?"

At the same time, a faint moonlight-like glow emanated from her forehead. A small moon-like figure on her forehead's Immortal Platform opened its eyes.

Her Divine Sense, released from the Immortal Platform Second Realm, instantly covered a radius of a hundred miles.

While informing the nearby Jiang Family high-ranking members of the situation, she also attempted to communicate with the Jiang Family's Emperor Weapon, the Hengyu Furnace, which was in a state of full recovery.

The Deity within the Hengyu Furnace frowned slightly, but out of respect for the Taiyin Human Emperor, it did not emit Extreme Dao Pressure or use its own Divine Power to search for Fang Zheng's location. Instead, it relied on its sensory abilities as an Emperor Weapon to communicate with the Taiyin Moon Blade at Jiang Tingting's waist.

Subsequently, having received an answer, it sent a thought to Jiang Tingting: (Do not worry, this is merely the divine ability of the being named Fang Zheng. You may wait where you are.)

At this moment, Fang Zheng, using Spectator Mode, saw through the dark water as if it were transparent.

Through this transparent perspective, he saw solid, black fluid formations at the bottom of the cold pool, creating numerous whirlpools.

These whirlpools ground the pitch-black ice covering the bottom of the pool into black crystal-like snowflakes, which swirled up and then fell, re-solidifying. In the depths of the pool, a spectacle of black snowstorm unfolded.

"It looks quite romantic," Fang Zheng murmured softly.

He passed through the various whirlpools and finally, in the center of the largest vortex, he found an egg-shaped object with a diameter of over three meters.

The surface of the object was free of any black ice. Its dark cyan shell was covered with spiral patterns resembling swirling clouds and snowflakes.

Upon closer inspection, a faint crack ran across its surface, almost dividing it in two. However, it was held together by some unknown dark golden substance. It seemed to be this very crack that had caused the essence within the egg to dissipate, rendering it lifeless.

Gazing at the egg, which was large enough to fit an elephant, Fang Zheng was filled with curiosity. "Just how big was the Flood Dragon that laid this egg? It must have been at least as big as Godzilla, right?"

He recalled something he had seen while browsing videos.

The content suggested that the larger an animal's body, the more exaggerated its physical strength would be, provided it could maintain normal movement.

Like Ultraman and monsters in Tokusatsu shows, if they could maintain that level of size and move freely on land, their bones, muscles, and other tissues would be far stronger than any material produced in the 21st century.

Their strength would be at least a hundred times greater than steel, and they likely wouldn't suffer any damage even from a close-range nuclear explosion.

Such terrifying creatures, even with a single movement, could cause secondary damage like infrasound and ultrasound that would be enough to wipe out large populations of humans.

If creatures of that scale appeared in reality and could move normally like in Tokusatsu shows, then all human weapons would be incapable of posing any threat to them.

"Speaking of which, for the Demonic Beasts, Divine Beasts, and Spirit Beasts in this Cultivation World, do they naturally grow to such sizes, or do they rely on methods like magical power to sustain themselves?" Fang Zheng wondered.

He then recalled the White Tiger he encountered on the Immortal Ascension Road. That White Tiger alone was larger than the large red supergiant star Betelgeuse discovered by humans, and its speed exceeded 11 billion times the speed of light.

Logically, such an exaggerated size should not mean it had a density comparable to a gas, like ordinary stars, where the overall density is less than air. Instead, it should be closer to a solid object.

Taiyin had also mentioned that the White Tiger was likely alive in the past, and what Fang Zheng saw was merely a Law Phantom.

So, was the White Tiger, when it was alive, inherently that large, or did it transform into such a colossal size using transformation techniques, similar to the eldest gourd brother in Calabash Brothers?
