Under the cover of Dark Moon Water, the Life Force of the Qilin Egg was rapidly dissipating.
This dissipation had clearly exceeded the limits that the Qilin Egg could withstand. At this rate, by the time the Life Force within the Qilin Egg was completely gone, it would be difficult for Little Qilin to successfully hatch.
What should I do?
Fang Chen's gaze kept wandering back and forth over the pool filled with Dark Moon Water.
"Chill energy, Death Power... Death Power..." he murmured, and suddenly, a brilliant light flickered in his eyes.
The main reason for the rapid dissipation of Life Force within the Qilin Egg was due to the dense Death Power contained in the Dark Moon Water. As for the Chill energy, it was merely an accomplice in terms of eroding life force. For Fang Chen, as long as he could suppress the Death Power that had entered the Qilin Egg from the Dark Moon Water, there might still be a chance to turn things around.
How to suppress the Death Power?
A gleam of determination flashed in Fang Chen's eyes. This task would be difficult for other warriors, even for someone as strong as Thunder Kirin. But for him, Fang Chen, it was not particularly challenging.
With the Creation Palm of Life and Death, controlling Yin and Yang, mere Death Power could not trap Fang Chen.
Thinking of this, his previously furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
He spoke to Thunder Kirin beside him about his thoughts. After a solemn nod from Thunder Kirin, Fang Chen began to act.
"Life and Death Qi, Creation Lotus!" he shouted lightly. The Power of Creation within him, originally composed of Purple-Black and three distinct forces—Thunder Power, Life Force, and Death Power—suddenly surged rapidly. Under Fang Chen's control, the purple Thunder Power was temporarily separated out.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the void above the pool flowing with Dark Moon Water. Amidst flickering black and white light, a lotus flower nearly ten feet in size appeared before Fang Chen and Thunder Kirin.
This lotus flower intertwined with black and white light, with life and death energies swirling around each other, appearing extraordinarily mystical. Each petal of the lotus was pitch black, emanating Death Power, while its core and heart were pure white, filled with a strong life aura.
"Go!" Fang Chen pointed at the Qilin Egg and shouted.
Immediately, the black and white intertwined Creation Lotus gently trembled, its ink-black petals diving into the pool filled with Dark Moon Water.
With a splash, the previously calm surface of the pool suddenly rippled, and the Creation Lotus that had just submerged began to slowly reemerge. However, this emergence abruptly halted upon touching the Qilin Egg.
At this moment, the Creation Lotus remained soaked in Dark Moon Water, while the Qilin Egg, though still surrounded by the Dark Moon Water, had now appeared within the lotus heart of the Creation Lotus, which was as pure as snow and filled with a strong life force.
"Life is death, death is life; Life and Death Qi, mutually generating and restraining..." Fang Chen murmured as he quickly formed hand seals. The Creation Lotus in the pool, now bearing the Qilin Egg, suddenly began to rotate gently.
With the rotation of the Creation Lotus, the Dark Moon Water that had been quietly flowing in the pool surged violently once more. Strands of Dark Moon Water began to pour into the Creation Lotus at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Each petal of the already dark flower became even more dazzlingly black, and a thick aura of Death Power continuously emanated from the Creation Lotus. The Qilin Egg resting on the lotus heart seemed to sense this encroaching Death Power and trembled lightly.
By the edge of the pool, Thunder Kirin stared intently at the Qilin Egg, its eyes filled with deep concern.
"Life and Death Qi, transform!"
At that moment, Fang Chen's hand seal changed again. With this transformation, the strands of increasingly dense death aura emanating from the Creation Lotus abruptly turned into a completely opposite life aura.
Death and life—two entirely opposing forces—switched places in an instant!
The petals of the Creation Lotus trembled violently at that moment. The originally ink-like transparent petals, resembling black pearls, suddenly dimmed sharply. Above these petals, an extremely bright milky-white light erupted.
Whoosh!
The previously dim cave was completely illuminated by this burst of milky-white light.
"What a rich... Life Force!"
By the pool, the previously worried Thunder Kirin now widened its eyes, revealing a lingering look of astonishment within its enormous gaze. However, amidst the surprise, the concern it had initially felt had diminished significantly.
Soaking in Dark Moon Water, the Qilin Egg was in dire need of Life Force. Now that Fang Chen possessed the ability to convert Death Power into Life Force, the greatest crisis facing the Qilin Egg was nearly resolved. All that was left was for it to absorb enough energy to successfully hatch!
A dense mass of Life Force formed a milky white glow that illuminated the entire cave. Under Fang Chen's mental control, this mass of Life Force transformed into a gentle Light Rain, softly cascading down onto the Purple-Black intertwined Qilin Egg.
As the Life Force fell like Light Rain, the Qilin Egg, which had been invaded by Dark Moon Water and had lost much of its Life Force, trembled lightly. A wave of Joy emanated from it, a feeling so profound that even Fang Chen could sense it.
Feeling this Joy, the tense expression on Fang Chen's face finally relaxed, and he broke into a smile. With the nourishment of Life Force, the crisis surrounding the Qilin Egg had finally been alleviated.
"Hmm?" Just then, Fang Chen's gaze sharpened slightly.
In his line of sight, on the surface of the Qilin Egg that had originally shimmered with Purple-Black hues, a new color emerged—milky white! As this milky white appeared, the initial purple on the surface of the Qilin Egg began to slowly dissipate, while Black and White became increasingly pronounced. The essence of life and death intertwined within it, achieving a rare balance.
"This..." Watching this scene unfold, Fang Chen's pupils constricted slightly. He then glanced at Thunder Kirin beside him, which also displayed a hint of confusion. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. It was evident that after being soaked in Dark Moon Water and subsequently replenished with severely lacking Life Force through his use of Power of Creation and Life and Death Conversion, this Qilin Egg had undergone changes that were difficult for them to comprehend. Whether these changes were good or bad remained unknown to both Thunder Kirin and Fang Chen. However, deep down, Fang Chen felt an inexplicable sense of closeness towards this mutated Qilin Egg.
As time passed and Creation Lotus continuously absorbed Dark Moon Water and transformed it into Life Force flowing into the Qilin Egg, the milky white patterns on its surface gradually replaced its original purple hue. At this moment, the Qilin Egg presented an unusual appearance of interwoven black and white. It resembled closely to the Creation Lotus beneath it.
Both represented life and Death Power intertwining; both were Black and White, even emitting remarkably similar essences.
At this moment by the poolside, the crimson glow in Thunder Kirin's eyes had long disappeared, replaced by an increasingly strange expression. It alternately gazed at the Qilin Egg in the pool and then at Fang Chen, with an intensifying look of peculiarity in its eyes.
"Ahem." Clearly sensing Thunder Kirin's unusual gaze directed at the interwoven Black and White Qilin Egg, Fang Chen cleared his throat lightly.
With his coughs echoing in the cave, Thunder Kirin shook its massive head. Then, its enormous body that seemed ready to burst from filling up the cave slowly lowered itself down before it gently closed its eyes and began to doze off.
"This guy..." Watching Thunder Kirin seemingly fall asleep, Fang Chen couldn't help but twitch his mouth. At this moment, he found himself questioning whether the Qilin Egg lying in that pool truly belonged to Thunder Kirin or himself.
Shaking his head helplessly, Fang Chen controlled the Creation Lotus to continuously absorb the Dark Moon Water, transforming it into life energy to replenish the Qilin Egg. At the same time, he quietly sat down and began to adjust and organize the gains from this Heritage Site.
Time passed unknowingly.
About half a day later, the Qilin Egg, which had been quietly lying on the heart of the Creation Lotus, suddenly began to tremble violently. At the same time, the black and white patterns on its surface flickered wildly, and a tremendous sucking force surged forth.
"Hmm?" Sensing this sudden Mutation, Fang Chen instantly awakened from his meditation. Beside him, the Thunder Kirin, which had seemed to be resting, opened its eyes in an instant.
As the Qilin Egg shook, the Creation Lotus beneath it also began to tremble lightly. The pool had only about one-fifth of the Dark Moon Water left, which swirled like a vortex and then shot upwards like a dragon drinking water, directly soaring over the Creation Lotus and rushing madly into the Qilin Egg.
Watching this scene, the Thunder Kirin, which had been lying down, immediately stood up. A look of surprise appeared in its eyes as it seemed to consider whether to intervene and intercept the Dark Moon Water that was about to surge into the Qilin Egg.
At that moment, it noticed Fang Chen shaking his head slightly.
"Roar."
With a low growl, the Thunder Kirin lay back down again. Meanwhile, all of the Dark Moon Water that had shot upwards like a dragon drinking water now roared downwards in a dark water column, flooding into the Qilin Egg.
