Chapter 240 Birth

Two days have passed, and the Black Dragon Kingdom was in a state of panic due to the death of Mo Qilin. Even the war with the Qianyue Kingdom was forced to be halted.

The appearance of a terrifying army called the Dragon Rising Legion at the Yuguang City, along with several powerful subordinates of Qin Jun, made the Black Dragon Emperor hesitant to continue the war after the only Void Transformation Realm powerhouse, Mo Qilin, died. He didn't dare to provoke the Qianyue Kingdom, fearing that the Dragon Rising Legion would invade the Black Dragon Kingdom.

Of course, the news of Mo Qilin's death was sealed off and did not spread within the Black Dragon Kingdom. To prevent spies from other countries planted in the Black Dragon Kingdom from sending messages back, the Black Dragon Emperor deliberately created false news that Mo Qilin was still alive. For a while, the Black Dragon Kingdom was on the brink of a storm.

On the other side, at the Divine Beast Lake.

At this moment, all the cultivators were standing nervously by the lake. They saw a colorful light shimmering on the surface of the lake below the waterfall, dazzling and captivating.

Qin Jun stared wide-eyed at the scene because the divine beast egg was about to hatch!

He had been waiting here for days, and finally, the moment had arrived!

"Wu Jing, when the divine beast hatches, you should make a move to prevent it from being eaten by the monster," Qin Jun instructed. After waiting for so many days, if the divine beast were to be eaten by a monster, he would be extremely frustrated.

"I'll go down. My transformation technique is very exquisite, and that monster definitely won't notice me," Red Boy volunteered.

Qin Jun pondered for a moment and then nodded. After all, the divine beast egg was some distance away from here. What if Sha Wujing didn't have time to make a move?

After getting his approval, Red Boy leaped up and dived into the lake like a fish.

All the forces were focused on the colorful light, and no one noticed Red Boy's infiltration.

After waiting for a while, the divine beast egg still did not hatch, and Qin Jun's excited mood was dampened. Bored, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Ming and the others who were anxiously waiting nearby. They looked like lottery players waiting for the results, which made him chuckle.

"Hey, why are you guys here? Do you also want to snatch the divine beast?" Qin Jun curiously asked. With just the four of you, do you also want to snatch the divine beast?

Jiang Ming came to his senses and smiled lightly, "Why not?"

He guessed that there would be a fierce competition at the Divine Beast Lake. Although his strength was not top-notch, there might be a chance to take advantage of the situation.

The allure of the divine beast was simply too strong, and having a divine beast as a battle pet was simply too cool!

Of course, if the divine beast was already an adult and extremely powerful, then Jiang Ming would just be here to watch the excitement. But seeing that the divine beast had not yet hatched, his heart couldn't help but race.

"Come on, if you don't snatch it, you won't be worthy of being Qin Jun's brother. I will look down on you," Qin Jun said with a look of confidence, making Jiang Ming's mouth twitch.

Daji and the others smiled helplessly. Jiang Ming was really unlucky to run into Qin Jun, and he was being played with by him!

"Hmph!"

Jiang Ming coldly snorted, no longer paying attention to Qin Jun, but he secretly held a grudge against him.

He had figured out that Qin Jun was a sly fox, seemingly always complimenting him, but actually mocking him.

But he absolutely couldn't imagine that this person was the sworn brother he kept talking about.

Time passed quietly.

As noon approached, the colorful light at the base of the waterfall began to shine brighter, and the nearby lake water began to churn.

Boom!

The thunder roared, and the cultivators instinctively looked up, only to see rolling thunderclouds sweeping in as if a storm was about to arrive.

"It's about to be born," Qin Jun murmured. It was indeed a divine beast, as its birth had attracted heavenly tribulation, showing its extraordinary nature from birth!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunder continued to strike, causing magnificent splashes on the surface of the waterfall, and the colorful light below became even brighter as the sun was obscured. The beautiful scene, with the lake at its center, began to rotate, quickly forming a ten-meter-wide vortex that continued to expand.

A roar, resembling that of a dragon or an elephant, faintly emanated from the vortex, causing the hearts of the cultivators to race.

The divine beast was about to be born!

The figure in the straw cloak had flown to the sky above the treetops at some point, looking at the vortex below the waterfall. A hint of excitement appeared on his terrifying face.

At that moment, a giant egg suddenly emerged from the center of the vortex, about a meter high, with a white shell covered in golden runes that seemed to be alive and moving.

With a bang, a deep red monster also emerged from the lake, twenty meters away from the divine beast egg, just avoiding the continuous downpour of thunder.

Twenty meters was not far for the deep red monster, and it could cross that distance in the blink of an eye.

Once the divine beast hatched, it would unleash thunderous attacks, and the monster would swallow it in one gulp!

"First, deal with the monster! Don't let it wait for the divine beast to be born!" someone suddenly exclaimed, clearly also seeing the deep red monster's intentions. Its greed was too obvious; it wasn't trying to protect the divine beast, but rather wanted to eat it!

As soon as the words fell, cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above flew up from the lake's edge, flying towards the deep red monster from all directions, including the figure in the straw cloak.

He couldn't defeat the deep red monster, and neither could the others, so they had to join forces. They had no choice but to fight for the divine beast.

Compared to the deep red monster, the competitive power of the cultivators was insignificant to him.

"Kill it!"

"What's a monster king? If we join forces to kill it, even if we can't snatch the divine beast, it will still be a great story!"

"Haha, it's my first time fighting a monster king!"

"Attack!"

Cultivators from various forces at the Golden Core stage and above launched their attacks, and the colorful spiritual energy surged towards the deep red monster, accompanied by the thunderclouds, creating a spectacular scene.

Qin Jun sat cross-legged by the lake, his hands resting on his legs, quietly watching the battle ahead.

"Wait here, brothers, I'm joining the battle too!"

Not far away, Jiang Ming drew his long sword and smiled, then flew towards the deep red monster like a banished immortal, earning the admiration of his three companions.

Qin Jun sneered and said nothing.

"Get lost!"

The deep red monster roared in anger, its massive body churning the lake water. A visible red demonic force swept in all directions, dispersing the cultivators' spiritual energy and then striking them, causing them to spit blood and fly backward.

"You beast! Don't be so arrogant!"

A figure in a straw cloak shouted angrily, charging towards the deep red monster with a black ruler in hand. The lake water splashed on him, but was blocked by a layer of white energy. He moved swiftly, like a streak of light crashing into the deep red monster. The black ruler pierced into the monster's body, blood splattering everywhere. The deep red monster writhed in pain, its eyes filled with terrifying killing intent.

At the same time, bolts of lightning struck the divine beast egg, causing a crack to form at the top and gradually extend downward.

With a loud bang!

The figure in the straw cloak was sent flying by the deep red monster, flying nearly five hundred meters before coming to a stop.

Suddenly, Qin Jun's eyes widened, not because he was impressed by the deep red monster's strength, but because a group of figures had appeared in the rolling thunderclouds above the waterfall. They were dressed in black robes, silently hovering beneath the thunderclouds. If one didn't look closely, it would be hard to notice them.
