Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1965: 513: The Kunpeng Egg Emerges, Secret Realm Unlocked! (2)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
It seemed like he had captured the young Kunpeng, letting him sense its state directly and gain a bit of influence over the Kunpeng Giant Egg.
But in truth, he hadn't captured it at all; instead, he was just leeching off the young Kunpeng, and he could plainly feel its furious rage toward him, desperate to drive him away.
"What's happening here?"
Lu Quanzhen felt completely confused, clueless about the entire affair.
"Get lost!"
The young Kunpeng roared repeatedly, desperate to push Lu Quanzhen out, though its efforts were feeble.
Within this strange mutual bond, Lu Quanzhen realized he could keep siphoning power from the Kunpeng Giant Egg and the Blood Pool’s core essence to strengthen his Demon Fetus, which would stop the young Kunpeng from wiping him out completely.
"Does that mean I'm like a malignant growth now, successfully latching onto the young Kunpeng?"
From the young Kunpeng’s viewpoint, Lu Quanzhen saw himself that way, leaving him utterly at a loss for words...
Nevertheless, right then, he picked up on certain ideas flickering through the young Kunpeng's thoughts.
The moment fresh blood sustenance shows up, it could break free from its shell and thus get rid of him...
"Hatch?"
Lu Quanzhen was utterly stunned.
This young Kunpeng was already so formidable prior to emerging; if it managed to hatch, its prowess would be unimaginable, likely discovering a means to destroy him for good.
Without delay, he exploited this connection to pull out additional details from the young Kunpeng.
Quite some time later, he uncovered a revelation that left him reeling.
The Kunpeng Nest turns out to be nothing but a deadly snare!
The elder Kunpeng had intentionally drawn in countless cultivators and those who inherited demonic arts, exploiting the blood of countless beings to feed the Kunpeng Giant Egg!
At present, numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators and Transformed Demon Kings were clashing fiercely above for the available fortunes.
When the moment arrives, the Kunpeng Nest's Killing Formation will unleash itself, dragging the wounded or deceased cultivators and Demon Kings into a devouring void to fuel the Blood Pool and the Kunpeng Giant Egg.
"Absolutely not—the hatching of this Kunpeng cannot be permitted!"
The external conflict meant nothing to Lu Quanzhen.
He actually wished for every one of them to meet their end within this Secret Realm.
Yet, should even a single Nascent Soul Cultivator or Transformed Demon King perish, that essence would serve as fodder for the young Kunpeng, boosting its strength tremendously.
Although he could now, via the Giant Egg, seize some of that sustenance, he stood no chance against the young Kunpeng in the end!
"This Blood Pool bears an all-encompassing array that doesn't just create a Killing Formation and process myriad spirits—it can also break down the Kunpeng Giant Egg’s energy or transform into a Teleportation Array to whisk the newly hatched young Kunpeng beyond the Secret Realm!"
"Father mentioned he'd reach the Starry Sky Sea in roughly ten years... and with the [Substitute Talisman] in play, he could faintly detect it."
"If I can escape the Secret Realm and hold out until Father arrives, salvation might be possible; I'm just unsure if this Secret Realm will hinder that detection... "
Lu Quanzhen kept delving into the young Kunpeng’s recollections, searching for an escape from this dire bind.
In the end, he discovered a viable path.
The Teleportation Array offered a way to depart the Secret Realm!
Outside its confines, he could potentially endure until his father Lu Changsheng came to his aid.
"Let's move!"
Detecting the young Kunpeng’s murderous aura and its urge to hatch and slay him, Lu Quanzhen wasted no time, understanding that swift departure was essential to prevent any more troubles.
He promptly attempted to trigger the Teleportation Array using the Kunpeng Giant Egg as his conduit.
But why would the young Kunpeng permit such a thing? Its loathing for Lu Quanzhen had reached a boiling point; all it craved was to hatch and end him!
"Buzzing!!!"
The Kunpeng Giant Egg within the Blood Pool shook violently, caught in a fierce struggle between the intruder and its host.
As a mere parasite, Lu Quanzhen proved inferior to the young Kunpeng, failing to seize command of the Kunpeng Giant Egg from its grasp.
After an exhausting standoff, both the man and the beast were drained, and Lu Quanzhen proposed: "Ease your defenses, and I'll depart immediately."
Having been tricked repeatedly by Lu Quanzhen, the young Kunpeng refused to believe him any longer.
"Forcing an early emergence could cause birth flaws; why drag us both into mutual destruction?"
Lu Quanzhen pressed on with genuine conviction.
He had a basic grasp that this young Kunpeng lacked advanced cunning but possessed inherited memories, allowing it to absorb vast knowledge by devouring the souls of others.
In these circumstances, then, reasoning with it and highlighting the benefits held real sway.
He couldn't suppress an inner lament—such beings of True Spirit caliber were indeed horrifying, amassing such vast potential even in their embryonic stage.
With proper time to mature and assimilate all that wisdom, its might would be downright fearsome!
His arguments made the young Kunpeng waver.
After all, its inherited lore stressed that a delayed hatching yielded superior results.
Sensing that doubt, Lu Quanzhen mixed heartfelt pleas with sound logic to sway it further.
However, the young Kunpeng grew wary and suggested that if he eased his hold, it would eject him.
"No way, I'll handle it on my own. What if you strike me down the instant I let go? You're far stronger than me."
Lu Quanzhen kept up the facade of vulnerability.
Following an intense back-and-forth between the two, once the young Kunpeng relented, Lu Quanzhen swiftly deployed the "Demon Fetus Parasite Technique" to disrupt it via possession, then seized control of the Kunpeng Giant Egg and ignited the Blood Pool's Teleportation Array!
"Roar!!!"
The young Kunpeng bellowed in outrage, yet the Teleportation Array was already whirring to life.
"Buzzing——"
Runes bloomed and swirled within the Blood Pool, wrapping around the Kunpeng Giant Egg, poised to transport it elsewhere.
Despite the young Kunpeng's relentless sabotage, which set the Blood Pool churning and quaking, it couldn't halt the process.
This disturbance alerted a few Nascent Soul cultivators close to the black hole.
"Whoosh!"
Just as the Kunpeng Giant Egg neared teleportation, a voice cried out: "Look, another prize!"
"Trouble—this relic is slipping away!"
These Nascent Soul cultivators, masters of the Power of the Void, could lock down space itself and disrupt the Teleportation Array with their might.
