On the third floor of the Sacred Pavilion, Xu Yan stared at the object before him, his gaze wavering with shock and uncertainty.
As the demonic qi grew thinner, the surroundings of the demonic beast gradually became clear.
"It seems this is indeed a Demon Embryo!"
A thoughtful gleam flashed through Xu Yan's eyes as he reached this conclusion.
The Demon Embryo lay horizontally on a jade platter that gleamed with a dark luster. Blood-colored markings covered the platter, resembling countless blood vessels and giving it an utterly eerie appearance.
Beneath the jade platter lay a dense mass of high-grade spirit stones. Most had already grown dull and lightless, though a small portion still emitted fluctuations of spiritual energy. As the blood-colored markings on the platter shifted, streams of spiritual energy were drawn out and channeled into the Demon Embryo.
A vast amount of vital essence emanated from the Demon Embryo. With the destruction of that wisp of the Ancient Demon Race's divine sense, the embryo's vital essence had begun to dissipate.
Seeing this, Xu Yan's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly formed several hand seals, sealing the Demon Embryo all over.
"According to the records in that tribe, the Ancient Demon Race possesses a powerful secret art called the Heavenly Demon Rebirth Method. Supposedly, it allows them to form a Demon Embryo and live a second life."
As these memories flashed through his mind, a smile appeared on Xu Yan's face.
This method of forming a Demon Embryo was an art of nine deaths and one chance at life. Unless driven to desperation, Ancient Demon Race cultivators would never use it.
The probability of successfully forming a Demon Embryo was simply too low. According to the records passed down by the Ancient Demon Race, fewer than one in ten succeeded.
