Grinding Oddities

First, he gave the new egg a name—(Ice Flood Dragon Egg). Then, under the bewildered gaze of Jiang Tingting, Fang Zheng continued his verification.

He opened his inventory, took out a monster spawner, and placed it on the ground. He then clicked the Ice Flood Dragon monster egg on the spawner.

Immediately, a small, dark jade dragon-shaped figure appeared within the pixelated iron cage of the monster spawner. Its body was stretched straight, like a long, small lizard, and it spun continuously inside the cage, surrounded by pixelated flames.

Looking at the burning pixelated flames, Fang Zheng immediately realized, "Success!"

"Yay! Yay! Yay!"

Joyful cheers erupted. Jiang Tingting, who was waiting nearby, watched Fang Zheng jump up and down, unsure what he was so happy about.

She was merely curious, observing the peculiar iron cage and the extremely tiny flood dragon within it.

Seeing the small dragon inside the cage, surrounded by strange red squares and constantly spinning in place, she felt a bit confused.

"Could it be that the dead embryo inside this already deceased Ice Flood Dragon Egg has been revived by Senior Fang Zheng?"

"But why is this cub spinning in place non-stop?"

She subconsciously extended her Divine Sense to investigate, but became even more perplexed. "Is… is this really a revival?"

After all, most creatures in their underdeveloped cub stage appear relatively cute.

However, through her Divine Sense, she couldn't find any trace of cuteness in this supposed flood dragon cub. It looked exactly like a miniature, ferocious adult flood dragon.

Furthermore, although its body was spinning within the cage, it remained perfectly straight. Its body was completely still, with no blood circulation and no heartbeat. By all appearances, it should have been a corpse.

Yet, Jiang Tingting strangely felt that this flood dragon cub, while not particularly strong, possessed a soul that undeniably existed.

However, that soul was also in a peculiar state of stagnation, somewhat like being sealed by divine origin, but it didn't feel quite right.

She asked doubtfully, "Senior Fang, did you revive this Ice Flood Dragon? But why, even though its physical body and soul are intact, does it seem sealed? Did you intentionally seal it?"

"Also, what exactly is this monster spawner you mentioned?"

Hearing Jiang Tingting's confusion, Fang Zheng chuckled a few times and replied, "This egg wasn't revived. I turned the egg into a monster-spawning egg, so I can use it to spawn monsters. And this is the cage used to continuously spawn monsters from the monster-spawning egg."

Jiang Tingting was confused. "Monster-spawning egg? Spawning monsters? What does that mean?"

"You'll know soon enough." Fang Zheng replied while looking around, a bit puzzled. "Huh? It should have spawned a monster by now. Where is it?"

"Did it spawn inside a cave? I don't think so." He looked at the ground, confused again. "But I used Spectator Mode earlier, and I didn't see any caves underground nearby. Where did it spawn?"

"Hasn't it spawned yet? Could it require special spawning conditions, like lighting?"

The moment Fang Zheng was still pondering, Jiang Tingting's thoughts suddenly shifted, and she looked up at the sky.

Rumble…

In the extremely distant sky, a devastating shockwave erupted downwards. Jiang Tingting's pupils constricted, and she instantly deployed her full defenses, enveloping the area with Divine Power.

In an incredibly short period, the entire sky turned a blinding, brilliant white, as if a great sun had suddenly descended upon the world.

It was like millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of trillions of hydrogen bombs of immense yield detonating simultaneously in the far reaches of the sky.

The explosion-like shockwave of extreme heat and pressure compressed and heated the air at high altitudes to such an extent that it transformed from plasma into a state resembling a superfluid.

Limited by the frame rate of his Block Person body, Fang Zheng's reaction speed couldn't even register what had happened in that instant. However, Jiang Tingting, who was at the second stage of the Immortal Platform realm, saw it clearly.

This was a power capable of posing a life-threatening danger to her!

It was an attack comparable to the Dragon Transformation Nine Changes realm, but on a vastly larger scale, as if hundreds of trillions of cultivators, each at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Nine Changes realm, were launching their strongest attack from the distant sky towards the ground.

The blinding white plane, radiating an indescribably immense energy, descended from above at least ten thousand times the speed of sound, approximately 1% of light speed.

From Jiang Tingting's physical perspective, it appeared as an almost perfectly flat plane. Only by observing with her Divine Sense could she perceive a slight curvature, realizing it wasn't flat but likely spherical.

This meant that the terrifying shockwave's coverage extended far beyond ordinary imagination.

As the blinding white plane gradually descended, starting from the peaks of the cloud-piercing mountains, the millennia-old ice and snow on the summits, the grass, soil, and rocks, the ancient trees forming forests in the icy wilderness…

Everything was instantly engulfed and dissolved within it.

Even a few Netherwood trees, which grew at the mountain peaks on cold earth veins and accumulated immense Yin Sha energy, enough to craft magical artifacts for cultivators in the Dragon Transformation realm, were destroyed by the terrifying heat, turning into bright white embers and instantly burning to ashes.

However, the shockwave, which felt like an entire star crashing down, did not persist.

Jiang Tingting could see that in that instant, before the blinding light containing heat could even begin to heat and vaporize the ground, the incomplete Imperial Formation, which covered the entire Jiang Family territory for internal crisis defense, was instantly activated.

Dense golden Rune Chains arrived from the horizon, filling the sky at an even faster speed.

The massive shockwave, which had yet to continue its descent, was completely enveloped and suppressed. The immense heat, already radiating as light energy through the air and continuing to propagate downwards, was completely extracted.

This allowed the mortals and low-level cultivators within the Jiang Family territory, as well as the rare birds, beasts, and precious spiritual herbs in the mountains, to narrowly escape.

In fact, because the white sky curtain was erased so briefly, the mortals and low-level cultivators within the Jiang Family territory didn't even realize what had happened in that moment.

Looking at the dense Formation Patterns in the sky, Jiang Tingting felt a sense of relief, but her brow furrowed in confusion. "Who dares to be so bold as to attack the Jiang Family territory!"

"Is it an ancient clan, or an outsider?"

"Could it be! The beings from the various forbidden life zones can no longer hold back and are preparing to purge the Jiang Family!"

But before Jiang Tingting could ponder further, an intense sense of threat emanated from the heavens.

Roar!

It was a pained dragon's roar transmitted through Divine Sense, accompanied by an immense dragon's might that spread out, covering an area of millions of miles!

You have to understand, this was the entire territory of the Jiang Family in the Northern Region!

In fact, if this dragon's might hadn't been completely contained by the Jiang Family's formations, preventing it from spreading further, the entire Northern Region, and even the whole Big Dipper Star Domain, would have been enveloped by this pressure.

Under this pressure, the countless rare birds and exotic beasts in the vast mountain range and nearby palaces, which Jiang Tingting was using as her cultivation ground, gasped for breath. Many Jiang Family cultivators who were in the midst of their practice also had a drastic change in expression.

Indeed, many were so disturbed in their cultivation that they immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

The sky, which had just been a sudden expanse of pure white, instantly turned into a sky full of dark clouds, with an unimaginably massive figure suspended in the air.
