Chapter 1994: Battle to Save the Eggs
An Lin could feel a terrifying swirl of power surging through his body. Furthermore, an extremely peculiar burst of heavenly power was flowing into his heart.
This power was not actually flowing into his heart, but into a black spot within his heart.
This black spot was actually his divine dao of darkness.
An Lin could feel his divine dao of darkness becoming more powerful. This was a very special feeling, as if his darkness had become purer.
Lan Xiaoni let loose a cry of surprise at the sight of the egg in An Lin’s hands, which was quickly being reduced to powder. “My God, is this a new way to eat eggs?”
An Lin immediately retorted, “Nonsense! I’m not eating the egg. I’m just absorbing the energy within the egg.”
Lan Xiaoni nodded with a stunned expression. “Does it taste good?”
“It’s delicious!” An Lin replied.
All of the energy and essence within the black egg flowed into An Lin’s body. The remaining powder was just the parts of the egg with no nutritional value.
Very soon, a black egg was completely absorbed.
An Lin exhaled as his eyes lit up.
He knew that he had become significantly more powerful.
The energy within the egg had refined his divine dao of darkness, and its nutrients strengthened his body.
They were perfect for him to consume!
An Lin turned to the remaining fourteen black eggs and began to absorb them one by one.
An Lin became more powerful with each and every egg he absorbed.
He knew that each of the black eggs contained the essence of a Heavenly God. As such, this was the equivalent of absorbing Heavenly Gods into his body, thereby providing an extremely significant boost to his power.
Two, three, four, five…
An Lin’s aura became more and more terrifying. True Element Martial Lord and Lan Xiaoni both detected this, and they turned to look at An Lin with bewildered expressions.
Demon Lord Ling Gu was in excruciating pain after eating just one black egg. However, An Lin was chomping down these black eggs without any repercussions!
“Burp…” An Lin belched after finishing the fourteenth egg.
He turned toward the final black egg. His mission would be completed after eating this final egg.
In reality, it didn’t really matter whether he completed his mission or not. He could feel that he had already become significantly more powerful. In his current state, he felt like he could absolutely destroy the severely wounded Heavenly Sea God!
Of course, this was only how he felt.
Whoosh…
An Lin began to absorb the final black egg.
He spread open his arms. I’ve become more powerful yet again!
“Come, system! Give me my reward!” An Lin yelled in his heart.
However, nothing happened.
There was no system notification.
He turned his attention to his system and was shocked to find that the mission had still not been completed.
An Lin’s eyes widened as his divine sense erupted forth and scanned through the several hundred million Heavenly Human eggs on the island. However, there really were no black eggs left!
He had already satisfied the mission condition by absorbing all of the black eggs!
Why wasn’t the system reacting?
Could it be that the system had malfunctioned?
An Lin was starting to panic. The reward wasn’t all that important. However, if he failed the mission, he was going to lose his balls! That was something he absolutely couldn’t allow!
Lan Xiaoni was a little alarmed by An Lin’s panicked expression. “What is it, Big Boss An Lin? What happened?”
“Where are my balls?” Cold sweat was pouring down An Lin’s face. The mission time limit was only two hours. If he couldn’t figure something out during that time, he was screwed.
“Your balls?” Lan Xiaoni blinked before glancing down between An Lin’s legs, upon which a deep blush appeared on her face. “Aren’t they right there?”
“What?” An Lin turned to Lan Xiaoni with a blank expression, and he almost threw up a mouthful of blood upon arriving at the realization that he had misspoken. “Not balls, I meant eggs!”
“Ohh… Is that what you were referring to…” Lan Xiaoni’s blush deepened, and she was so embarrassed that she almost dove into the ocean.
How was she supposed to know that he was referring to eggs? Was she going to be seen as a mermaid with a dirty mind in Big Boss An Lin’s eyes now?
An Lin didn’t have time to pay attention to Lan Xiaoni. He was still looking for his eggs.
“Didn’t you eat all of the black eggs?” True Element Martial Lord speculated, “If there are still other black eggs, then could it be that the Heavenly Sea God took them with him?”
An Lin shuddered upon hearing this. If that was the case, then this mission was next to impossible to complete! He had thought that this was a freebie mission, but was this actually an impossible mission?
No! No! Calm down!
The Heavenly Sea God told him to destroy all of the eggs. He didn’t want to surround himself with disobedient Heavenly Humans either, so there was an extremely small chance that he had taken some eggs with him. There had to be another explanation…
An Lin’s mind raced as his gaze drifted to Demon Lord Ling Gu, who was still struggling on the ground.
“Has he been rolling around this entire time? Does he have indigestion?” An Lin’s lips twitched. “Could it be…”
Demon Lord Ling Gu felt like he was about to die. The energy within his body was threatening to destroy him. He was absorbing energy at a rate that was far slower than the rate the eggs were releasing energy within his body. This imbalance was leading him toward death!
Right at this moment, a white-robed figure appeared before him.
“Sect Leader An Lin…” Demon Lord Ling Gu’s expression faltered at the sight of the man who had arrived before him.
“Mr. Ling Gu, let me help you!” An Lin wore an extremely urgent expression, as if he were extremely concerned about him.
Warmth surged through his heart upon seeing this. To think that the Sect Leader An Lin that he revered so much was so concerned about him. The thought of this brought tears to his eyes.
Swish!
An Lin flung Demon Lord Ling Gu’s massive body into the sky.
An Lin leaped up behind him with tightly clenched fists.
“Wait… Sect Leader An Lin, are you trying to…” Demon Lord Ling Gu’s expression changed drastically at the sight of An Lin’s clenched fists.
A golden light began to erupt from An Lin’s fist, thereby confirming his suspicions.
“N… no… Wait… I-I’ll do it myself!” Demon Lord Ling Gu was about to sh*t himself as he yelled in a loud voice. An Lin had wounded the Heavenly Sea God with a single punch. If that fist was to land on him, he would die!
However, An Lin’s fist still rammed into Demon Lord Ling Gu’s back, as if he hadn’t heard anything.
“Mr. Ling Gu, I’m here to save you! Mountain Quaking Fist!”
Boom!
Demon Lord Ling Gu’s back instantly arched into the shape of a horseshoe from the massive force behind An Lin’s fist.
Demon Lord Ling Gu was struck by excruciating pain. His stomach hurt so badly that he felt like he was going to die, and tears almost flowed from his eyes…
“Wah… Eurgh…”
A huge pile of half-digested eggs intermingled with green stomach acid erupted from his mouth like a waterfall.
It was an extremely spectacular sight.
Lan Xiaoni’s eyes widened as she pinched her nose.
“There it is!” An Lin’s eyes lit up as he extended a hand, upon which a black egg flew toward him.
The egg hadn’t been digested yet! His balls were saved!
