Chapter 1264 A Gray Egg (Part One)
Everyone stopped and stared at the sword worn by the Battle Emperor. They all felt frustrated and
disappointed; more so when they could not do anything about this at all.
The atmosphere that enveloped them felt very strange. Even though the Battle Emperor had already
fallen, there was still a strong tinge of his vital energy all over the ce, making it difficult for anyone to
touch his body.
Despite this, a stocky, old man, whose curiosity got the best of him, moved and approached the giant
skeleton to get a closer look.
The skeleton was massive with a size of at least forty to fifty meters tall and a body of about two to
three hundred meters wide. The body looked like that of a mighty lion, but the head was that of a
dragon.
Although what was left were bones and dust, the skeleton still gave out an august aura that made the

old man shiver. He moved his gaze towards its four talons, still tightly wed on the ground as if any
moment, it was going to attack him. s, he turned and stopped his attention on its head, which was
held up high as if it died roaring in agony or maybe rage.
The old man ced a hand on his chin and thought out loud, "Hmm, what kind of diabolic beast does
this giant skeleton belong to? I wonder…"
At the old man''s remark, everyone else started to grow curious.
Most of the cultivators were at least hundreds of years old now. There years promised them a wide
expanse of knowledge and a whole rich experience regarding these kinds of things, and yet not a
single one of them recognized what diabolic beast this skeleton was before its death.
As everyone else started to move cautiously towards the skeleton to get a better look, the stocky, old
man''s periphery caught sight of somethingid beneath the front right talon.
"Hold on!" he shouted, stopping everyone from moving closer. "What''s that?"
The old man pointed his index finger on the object.
Everyone turned to look at its direction and saw that there was indeed a strange, round grayish object
under the right front talon of the skeleton.
Chatters started to grow as everyone started to guess what it was.
"It looks like an egg. Could it be from the beast?"
someone muttered quite louder than the muffled whispers, making everyone nod and think about the
possibility of it being an egg.
It turned out that there was indeed a gray egg the size of an average man''s fist beneath the beast''s
talons. The dullness of its color made it difficult to be spotted from afar.
Another old man with his head covered with white hair moved closer to the egg and spected.
"Since it appeared in this pce, it must have been a very powerful diabolic beast when it was still
alive.
And if it is really its egg, and if we somehow manage to hatch this egg and tame it, we may have
ourselves our own powerful diabolic beast."
As soon as the old man said this, greed immediately shone in everyone''s eyes as the thought of having
their own tame diabolic beast was such a great idea.
In the past and even until now, many of the warriors were able to tame various diabolic beasts they
caught, and then they use them to guard their residence from any other threats.
Now, judging only by the strong and strange aura of this skeleton, it was really an extraordinary
creature when it was alive. Moreover, any diabolic beast found on the center of the Nonuple Isles were
different and must be of some character.
Whoosh!
In a blink of an eye, a figure shed pass everyone and reached for the egg. Without any warning, the
figure waved his sleeves and a strand of vital energy force shot towards the egg, intending to strike it
out.
Everyone turned towards the culprit and was shocked to see that it was the bald cultivator that had
once attempted to murder Austin and the queen.
The bald cultivator was the type of man that put his own self-interest above anything else, and
whenever he caught sight of an opportunity to profit, he would never pass the chance. He would grab it
regardless of who he was going to hurt or what was going to happen to him. Given the mystifying value
of the egg, there was no way he was going to give up that easily.
Roar!
Suddenly, as the vital energy force from the bald cultivator was about to connect with the gray egg, a
loud and ground-shaking roar came from the giant skeleton.
A shock wave from the roar blew dust into the air, making everyone gasped and panicked and moved
far away from the skeleton as fast as they could.
Then, the entire tform began to wobble and shake as if an earthquake was happening.
Some ran away from the scene, while the rest watched as a tremendous energy like a vast ocean
swept from the skeleton and formed a gigantic and horrifying shadow of a demonic beast. The shadow
stopped and looked around, and as soon as it saw the bald old man, it came straight towards him.
The bald man stood still in shock. Even though he was a cultivator of the Holy Realm, the sight and
power of the shadow horrified him, and as soon as he regained his consciousness, he left the egg and
turned around to lose the shadow that came for him.
However, no matter how hard the bald man ran, the shadow of the demonic beast still did not look like
it was going to give up soon and continued to chase the bald man. The speed and building strength of
the shadow shocked everyone that was left in the scene.
The shadow was so powerful that even a cultivator of the Holy Realm still had not match for it.
As the shadow moved passed, all of them went to the side to dodge it, and not one of them dared to go
against the beast head on.
Roar!
The shadow of the demonic beast was now right behind the bald cultivator. As the distance between
them grew small, one of its talons stroke down on his back.
The bald cultivator screamed in pain and shouted in despair,
