The strange sight left Wufawutian astonished.
When a living being was born, the heavens showed an omen.
It was clear that this giant egg was no ordinary thing.
After the Divine Phoenix laid the giant egg,
it let out another cry, and its belly began to swell again.
There was another egg inside!
But laying just one egg had already exhausted all its energy.
The God-Slaying Spear's killing power rampaged through its body.
It was already utterly spent!
With a long cry, tears streamed from the Divine Phoenix's eyes.
It knew it no longer had the strength to give birth. It truly had no strength left!
But as a mother, it could not bear to let its child die in the womb without ever seeing this world!
So the Divine Phoenix suddenly shrieked, turning one wing into a blade and slashing open its belly!
The last of its blood sprayed everywhere!
It pulled out a golden egg, much smaller than the giant one.
As soon as the egg appeared, the world changed.
A streak of golden light shot down and instantly merged into the golden egg.
The Divine Phoenix carefully placed both eggs beneath its bloodied wings.
Then it threw back its head and let out a mournful cry. With a thunderous crash, it fell atop the mountain, its soul scattering as it died for good.
Yuanfeng and the Divine Phoenix had vanished from the Primordial Wilderness.
Never again would the life forms of later generations see them.
Only after the Divine Phoenix was truly dead did Wufawutian finally descend without worry.
They each took out a black bottle and a black bowl.
With a hand seal, the Divine Phoenix's blood, scattered across the mountains, flowed back together in two rivers of blood and streamed into the bottle and bowl.
As they gathered the Divine Phoenix's essence blood, they watched the two strange eggs and spoke.
"Wutian, let's take these two eggs back with us, too."
"Of course we should. They're the direct descendants of Yuanfeng and the Divine Phoenix. Their potential is immense."
"True. Let's take them back and let the Cult Master decide what to do with them. They'd be useful for refining essence blood, too."
"Hehehe. Hey, Wufawutian... How about we eat these two eggs ourselves? The Cult Master won't know."
"Gasp—Wutian, that idea of yours... brilliant..."
"Hehehe... We wouldn't dare touch a drop of Yuanfeng and the Divine Phoenix's essence blood. The Cult Master would surely notice. But these eggs... tsk, tsk. Their benefits must be no less than those of their essence blood..."
"Stop talking. You're making my mouth water..."
"Since the Cult Master doesn't know the Divine Phoenix laid two eggs before it died, why don't we just eat them?"
The two fellows continued gathering the Divine Phoenix's essence blood.
All the while, they eyed the two eggs greedily and kept chattering.
Before long, they had made up their minds.
They would secretly eat the eggs. After all, the Cult Master Luohu wouldn't know!
"Fine. But since it was my idea, I'll eat the bigger egg. You can have the smaller one."
"Wutian, that's not fair. What do you mean, 'bigger'? That thing's almost twice the size! I demand an even split."
"There are only two eggs. How do we split them evenly? The best way is to swallow each one whole."
"No way. I'm not taking the smaller one."
"You think I'm going to give you the bigger one?"
"Sure. I don't mind."
"Go to hell... I came up with the idea. Why shouldn't I get the bigger one?"
"Your idea doesn't matter. Either I get the bigger one, or we split them evenly! Evenly!"
"How are we supposed to split them evenly!? There are only two! If we crack them open, at least half their essence will dissipate! Are you stupid!?"
"I'm not taking the smaller one! Split them evenly!"
"Damn you... Then forget it! Nobody eats them!"
"Hmph. Then nobody eats them!"
"Fine, fine! We'll split them evenly. Once we finish collecting the essence blood, we'll crack open both eggs, mix the yolks together, then divide them equally!"
"That's more like it, Wutian. We're brothers. We can't fall out over something like this."
"Heh. Brothers, sure. Hehehe..."
The two rolled their eyes as they talked.
By then, they had collected nearly all the Divine Phoenix's blood.
The rest had already seeped deep into the earth, making it difficult to gather quickly.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
The rivers of blood they had collected dwindled to streams.
The streams dwindled to trickles.
Wufawutian made another hand seal and put away the bottle and bowl.
The Divine Phoenix had dried up completely, leaving only its skin.
Its flesh, blood, and bones had all turned into essence blood and been collected.
After gathering the Divine Phoenix's essence blood, Wufawutian exchanged a glance. Each saw the excitement in the other's eyes.
Then, rubbing their hands together and grinning, they walked toward the two eggs.
Watching from the sky, Li Xuan felt torn...
Those two bumpkins were actually going to eat Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Great Peng!
But their auras were truly powerful.
Like his Incarnation Outside the Body, they were both Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
He just didn't know what level they were.
He had only just arrived.
The journey was long. Though the system had pointed him toward the location, letting him avoid detours, he still couldn't get there as quickly as Wufawutian, who had followed the whole way.
So when he arrived, he saw Wufawutian finish gathering the Divine Phoenix's essence blood.
Then he saw them looking like a pair of scoundrels as they prepared to go after the eggs.
Should he intervene or not?
Li Xuan hesitated.
Standing before the eggs, Wufawutian swallowed nervously.
They exchanged a glance, then spoke in unison. "We split them evenly. Neither of us gets more than the other."
For a moment, they looked awkward.
Then Wutian said, "Wufawutian, use your Purple Gold Bowl. I trust you. We'll each get half."
Hearing that, Wufawutian's eyes filled with guilt. He nodded. "Don't worry. We're brothers, so of course we'll split them evenly. I, Wufawutian, would never keep any for myself!"
When he finished speaking, Wufawutian's eyes burned with excitement.
He raised his hand, about to crack open the two freshly laid eggs.
Li Xuan's pupils contracted slightly!
At this point, there was no time to hesitate!
He had to take a chance and intervene!
It was only a clone, after all!
If he couldn't win, then dying was no big deal!
In an instant, Li Xuan shot down from the sky and shouted, "Stop! Let go of those eggs!!"
Wufawutian had planned to hide the eggs from Luohu and secretly devour them to improve their cultivation.
So their state of mind was no different from that of thieves.
The sudden shout startled them so badly that they jolted and nearly jumped.
"Who's there!?"
The two cried out in alarm and hurriedly turned toward Li Xuan.
Li Xuan shouted, "Wing Chun! Yip Man!"
At the same time, he raised his hand, formed a quick seal, and pointed!
Nirvana Finger!
"Wing Chun Yip Man?"
Wufawutian stared blankly. What kind of name was that?
But they were old monsters who had survived for years, with plenty of combat experience.
The moment they saw Li Xuan form a hand seal, they knew he was an enemy!
Wutian immediately shouted, "What kind of 'Chun' are you talking about? You're asking for death!"
"Die!"
Wufawutian roared, too.
The Purple Gold Bowl he had already taken out to hold the egg contents shot straight toward Li Xuan!
But Li Xuan's finger had already struck!
A streak of black light shot from his index finger in an instant!
The void trembled.
A thin black line stretched across it, as though space itself had shattered!
Seeing the black line streak toward them and the void break apart, Wufawutian froze in shock!
Their minds quaking, they cried out in unison.
"Shattering the void!?"
"A Quasi-Saint!?"
