The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

Chapter 116 Breaking Out Of The Egg, The Lord Of The True Dragon

A dazzling dragon egg appeared before Chu Qianqiu's eyes.

Within this dragon egg, there was the sound of a heartbeat, pulsating like an engine, never ceasing.

Chu Qianqiu became cautious as he approached the dragon egg, because the majestic aura of the dragon within became more apparent the closer he got.

"A dragon egg... Is it really a dragon egg?"

Nervously speaking, his attention was completely captivated by this egg.

After traveling through this secret realm for so long, he only discovered this dragon egg here.

And there was nothing else around this dragon egg.

It seemed that nothing remained except for this egg.

Could it be that this secret realm was prepared solely for this egg?

Then how precious must this egg be?

"Gudong—Gudong—"

He thought to himself.

Chu Qianqiu continued to approach the vicinity of the dragon egg, until he reached its surroundings.

He could clearly feel the shock caused by the dragon egg's heartbeat, as well as the restlessness brought about by the struggling life inside.

"This egg seems to have matured, now it only awaits the opportunity to hatch."

"Should I run? It feels a bit dangerous now."

In the face of these unknown things, Chu Qianqiu was still very cautious.

Even when faced with a treasure like a dragon egg, he remained vigilant about the unknown it brought.

He had no control over this egg. If the contents inside were to kill him when it hatched, what would he do?

After all, he couldn't be certain that the new life inside the egg was definitely weaker than him.

This was not something he could gamble on.

Thinking this, he began to retreat, cautiously and stealthily, remaining alert.

However, as he took a few steps back, he suddenly discovered a strange formation beneath his feet, enveloping the surrounding area and trapping him.

He was immediately startled, but it was already too late to make any other possible actions.

Now, he was instantly trapped by the formation, with almost no possibility of escaping.

This formation appeared too quickly, definitely belonging to the ranks of advanced formations. Ordinary cultivators who entered it could only be at its mercy.

"Damn, I was still too careless!"

Thinking of his carelessness, Chu Qianqiu regretted deeply.

However, he also realized that even if he managed to escape now, he wouldn't be able to leave alive. Even if he broke through to the Gold Core stage and left the secret realm, he would still be hunted by those demonic beasts.

No matter where he died, it would be the same. In fact, I shouldn't have come to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range in the first place.

Not coming to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range would have been the correct choice.

Reflecting on this, Chu Qianqiu sighed and sat down at the edge of the formation.

However, a long time has passed, and this formation still poses no threat to him.

This formation doesn't even harm him, but is transmitting something to him.

He can't describe this thing, but he feels it is extremely mysterious, as if he has entered a memory.

He can confirm that this memory definitely does not belong to him or any human, but to a dragon, a dominant golden dragon.

This dragon roams in a world that he cannot recognize, a world that is vast and filled with unfamiliar mountains, rivers, and vegetation. The dragon guards a certain territory.

In this territory, there are other powerful monsters.

But when these monsters see its true form, they all bow down in submission.

It is the strongest in that world, the absolute ruler among the monsters.

However, even as a dragon, even as a sacred beast like itself, the world it resides in is not under its control.

When its power becomes strong enough, it must undergo the baptism of heavenly tribulation, just like a cultivator.

But as a sacred beast, the heavenly tribulation it encounters is even more cruel and domineering than that faced by human cultivators of the same realm.

The heavenly thunder takes the form of a dragon, mercilessly descending, seemingly proclaiming that this world does not need dragons to exist in the truest sense.

And this golden dragon that exists in Chu Qianqiu's mind gradually loses in the face of the thunderous assault, proving the dominance of the heavenly dao.

Perhaps it has the possibility of becoming the first beast to ascend to immortality in that world.

Unfortunately, the power of the heavenly dao is ultimately too cruel, and anyone who desires to ascend to immortality will ultimately only find emptiness and nothingness.

While resisting the heavenly tribulation, the golden dragon, through a special means, travels to a lower plane world than itself, seemingly wanting to preserve something.

But after arriving in the lower plane world, its power greatly diminishes, restricted by the laws of this world, becoming weaker.

It becomes weaker, but the heavenly tribulation still does not spare it, pursuing it across planes.

In its final moments, its burning body falls into a mountain range, causing a massive explosion and forming a crater.

In this crater, the heavenly tribulation continues to pour down.

It is here that the golden dragon, also known as Chu Qianqiu, ends its own life and preserves a dragon egg within its body, creating a secret realm to protect it.

And its skeletal remains, destroyed by the heavenly thunder, forever guard the entrance to this secret realm, waiting for a strong individual who can truly cross the heavenly tribulation and enter this place to take away the dragon egg and grant its offspring freedom.

...

Slowly coming back to his senses from the memory.

Chu Qianqiu realizes that the formation around him has disappeared.

And it seems that he has seen the memories of the creator of this secret realm, receiving the message it wanted to convey.

"So, that world is the legendary Upper Realm?"

"So, this is truly a secret realm opened by a dragon, and its offspring is now in front of me?"

"I entered the secret realm it preserved, so it recognizes me? Now, it wants me to inherit everything here and take away its offspring?"

"Well... impressive."

Lost in thought, Chu Qianqiu suddenly feels overwhelmed by the amount of information, as if he is dreaming.

In theory, as a waste, he should not become the successor of this secret realm. After all, even the dragon couldn't withstand the heavenly tribulation outside, so how could he inherit it?

But coincidentally, he can avoid these heavenly tribulations, weaken their power, and even safely enter. This is quite dramatic.

In other words, a powerful dragon from the Upper Realm, leaving behind its only offspring, is now about to... acknowledge him as its master?

Thinking of this, Chu Qianqiu is already feeling a bit ecstatic.

And before he can be too happy, he hears the sound of the dragon egg cracking behind him.
