Chapter 505: Raging Egg

Raging Egg . . .

Two similar expressions, but they held distinct meanings. It perplexed Cha Eun Xiao. What was the significance behind this duality of phrasing? Why did they appear now?

Cha Eun Xiao found himself entangled in a web of questions, with no clear answers in sight. He couldn't fathom the intentions behind the appearance of these cryptic words. What puzzled him even more was the realization that Master Bai, who had gone to great lengths to access these words, remained oblivious to the fact that Cha Eun Xiao had read them effortlessly.

Out of all the beings in the vast firmament, only three individuals had laid their eyes upon this enigma - Ling Wuxie, Bai Chen, and Cha Eun Xiao.

Others, including the most formidable lords and cultivators, remained in the dark, unaware of this revelation.

Cha Eun Xiao, eager to decipher the mystery, tried to recollect the words he had just witnessed, but it proved elusive. The memory seemed to evaporate, leaving only a hazy image. He managed to recall a few additional words beneath the main phrase: "Is it... World... Bet?"

Baffled and slightly disoriented, Cha Eun Xiao pondered the significance of these words. However, he soon found himself overwhelmed as the world around him appeared to spin, causing a surge of shock to ripple through the room.

The intensity of the phenomenon escalated.

Overwhelmed by the situation, Cha Eun Xiao exercised caution and ceased his contemplation of the words. Instead, he shifted his focus to the Boundless Space.

There, he was met with a sight that rendered him speechless - the spiritual qi in all the Spaces was in turmoil, surging relentlessly in a singular direction.

Upon closer examination, the source of this upheaval became evident to him. His eyes widened as he realized what was transpiring. It was the enigmatic entity he affectionately referred to as "Brother Egg."

What was once a modest-sized egg, akin to a watermelon, had expanded to a massive weight of approximately eight kilograms, akin to an enormous watermelon. It continued to grow, and the spiritual qi of the entire Space was converging upon it. It was as if myriad rivers were pouring into a boundless sea.

The egg voraciously absorbed the spiritual qi, consuming it at a rate never before witnessed. The sheer magnitude of this absorption eclipsed all prior instances combined.

Cha Eun Xiao was dumbfounded by this abrupt change in Brother Egg's behavior. He struggled to understand the motivation driving it.

If this continued, the Space might be drained of its spiritual qi, risking its collapse.

The egg exhibited subtle tremors, as if attempting to convey something. However, it remained fixated on its insatiable consumption of the boundless spiritual qi, paying no heed to Cha Eun Xiao's concerns.

Frustration welled up within Cha Eun Xiao, and he couldn't fathom why Brother Egg, who had always been steady and calm, now exhibited this uncharacteristic frenzy. What could be driving it to such extremes?

Clearly, if the egg persisted in its insatiable absorption, the spiritual qi within the Space would be depleted, and the Space itself might face destruction.

The egg's quaking gestures appeared to suggest a desire to communicate, but it remained unresponsive to Cha Eun Xiao's inquiries.

Desperate for answers, Cha Eun Xiao turned his attention to the Wood Space. What he encountered was nothing short of heart-wrenching - the green life-sustaining spiritual qi that had once filled the air had vanished, and the previously thriving medicinal plants were withering rapidly. Their soul energy was being sapped.

The dense vegetation that once adorned the Space was now collapsing, its vitality drained by the relentless energy transfer.

Fear coursed through Cha Eun Xiao as he witnessed the devastation wrought upon the Wood Space.

He hurriedly glanced at the Water Space and noted that the iridescent water drops he had painstakingly collected were now reduced to less than half their original number. The water spiritual qi continued to flow towards the Egg.

His anxiety escalated as he pondered the state of the Gold Space, Earth Space, and Sky Space.

All the Spaces were being mercilessly drained of their vitality.

The insatiable hunger of Brother Egg extended even to the Cosmic Hades and the Heavenly Crystal Marrow, leeching away their energy. This was an unprecedented display of voracity, pushing the boundaries of excess.

Cha Eun Xiao's patience reached its breaking point. He couldn't contain his frustration any longer. "What the hell!" he bellowed, his voice echoing through the Spaces. "You wretched creature! Cease this madness! You're destroying my entire Space... You piece of garbage!"

His furious outburst seemed to fall on deaf ears, as Brother Egg exhibited no signs of slowing down. In a desperate attempt to halt the energy drain, Cha Eun Xiao rushed forward and forcefully pushed the egg back towards the plate. The relentless influx of spiritual qi had already subjected his meridians and dantian to numerous ablations, and he knew that he was on the verge of catastrophic internal rupture.

In mere seconds, his dantian reached its limit, perilously close to a life-threatening explosion. Cha Eun Xiao let out a cry of anguish and hastily retreated from the perilous scene. Glancing back, he was met with the disconcerting sight of Brother Egg continuing its inexorable absorption. There was no sign of slowing down; it seemed poised to consume everything in its path.

The plate before Brother Egg was adorned with a multitude of dan beads, numbering in the thousands. Each of these beads possessed supreme-grade quality, a testament to their rarity and significance.

Yet, Cha Eun Xiao's focus wasn't on the value of these dan beads; instead, his ire was directed solely at Brother Egg. His anger knew no bounds, and he railed against the relentless entity with a barrage of curses. "Cease this madness! STOOOOOP! You vile creature! Do you even comprehend the havoc you're wreaking? You're draining the pond to catch the fish! You abomination! You..."

His tirade was met with an unflinching Brother Egg, indifferent to Cha Eun Xiao's furious outburst. The entity persisted in its absorption of spiritual qi, undeterred by the chaotic consequences.

Eventually, when one-third of the energy within the spiritual items in the Spaces had been depleted, Cha Eun Xiao found himself at a loss for words. His incredulous gaze remained fixed on Brother Egg.

For the higher-quality items, one-third of their energy had been siphoned away. As for those of lesser quality, they were wholly drained, reduced to lifeless ashes.

Fury welled up within Cha Eun Xiao, and he glared at Brother Egg with a mixture of disbelief and indignation. Brother Egg hung suspended in the air, seemingly aware of the impending consequences should it continue its relentless consumption. However, driven by an insurmountable purpose, it persisted in its course of action.

In the following moment, Brother Egg ascended to Cha Eun Xiao, who was consumed by anger. The entity began to spin, as if attempting to express a desire. It seemed to be imploring Cha Eun Xiao for something – "Give me more... Give me more... Quickly, quickly..."

The scene resembled that of a famished pet, seeking its master's favor with an insistent and pitiable demeanor.
