The Tiger God Eagle's body landed on the crystal wheel. The crystal wheel started to spin like a millstone.
When the millstone spun, a crystal light landed on the Tiger God Eagle's body. It was like a crystal porcelain had been added to the flesh and feathers.
Inside the crystal porcelain, the Tiger God Eagle's body started to decompose into a transparent liquid. It flowed down the crystal wheel's grooves.
In just a moment, the huge Tiger God Eagle was completely decomposed. Not a single feather was left behind. The interior of the mountain returned to its normal state. The crystal wheel was completely still, and the light was extinguished. It was as if nothing had happened.
Bai Wanjie and the others felt their heads go numb. They now understood why they had not seen the bodies of the princes and princesses. That was what had happened.
Han Sen looked at the crystal wheel below. Countless thoughts flashed through his head. "Weird. Let's not talk about what is inside this mountain. This is a dangerous place. The kings of the Extreme King sent so many princes and princesses down here, but they did not warn them. It does not make sense that they were only here to train them."
Han Sen thought this was weird. What kind of father would not be worried about the lives of his children? No matter how much he wanted to train them, he would not do this.
"Unless … Unless the kings of the Extreme King knew that people were going to die, but they still sent them here …" Han Sen looked at Bai Wanjie and the others. They did not look happy. He did not know what they were thinking.
Han Sen did not think they had thought of this. It did not mean that Han Sen was smarter than them. It was just that the people involved could not see the bigger picture.
They were in the picture. They thought this trial was the most important step in choosing the heir to the throne. It was inevitable that there would be danger. Otherwise, they would not be able to tell who was better and who was more qualified to inherit the throne. They would have overlooked other things.
Bai Wanjie looked at the big egg and the crystal wheel below and said, "Right now, we do not know if the final test is to break this weird big egg or if there is another way to complete it."
"I don't think so," White Impermanence said. "Otherwise, with so many princes and princesses coming in, they would have broken it a long time ago."
"That might not be the case," Bai Ling Shuang said. "Just like those undying people before, maybe this giant egg has a self-healing ability. No matter how many times it is broken, it will be able to recover."
Bai Wei nodded and said, "It looks like the final test is related to this egg."
Bai Wanjie was silent for a moment. He said, "Sister Wei, you have been practicing with the Very High for a while now. You know more than we do. Can you tell what this big egg is?"
Bai Wei shook her head and said, "There are many xenogeneics in Outer Sky. I have seen many xenogeneic eggs, but this is the first time I have seen one like this."
Bai Ling Shuang thought for a moment and said, "If the princes and princesses have been able to complete the mission, it means there must be a way. We just haven't found it yet."
"Sister Ling Shuang is right," Bai Wanjie said. "I threw the Cage of Prisoner Birds and the Tiger God Eagle down. The Cage of Prisoner Birds touched the egg, but it wasn't sucked in. The Tiger God Eagle was sucked in. That means the egg can only suck in living things."
When everyone heard this, their eyes looked bright. If the big egg's power only worked on living things, they could use their treasures to attack the big egg.
"In that case, let me give it a try."
Bai Wuchang pulled out a jade knife. The jade knife was only half a foot long. It looked like a dagger, but it was green and crystal. It released a murderous presence.
Bai Wuchang held the jade knife and looked at the crystal egg. He suddenly waved his hand. The jade knife became a green light that shot toward the big egg.
Dong!
The jade knife hit the big egg. It made a crisp sound like jade hitting stone. Many green substance chains spread out. When they hit the crystal wall, they broke and disappeared.
After the big egg was hit, it was like a light bulb that had been activated. It released a hazy light.
When the big egg started to shine, the crystal machine inside the mountain started to run. It was like a firing tower. Many rings of light lit up. They lit up the entire mountain.
Bai Wuchang saw that his attack had failed. He wanted to take back the jade knife, but the jade knife did not listen to him. It landed on the crystal wheel.
When the wheel spun, the little jade knife, a primitive treasure, decomposed like the Tiger God Eagle's body. It turned into a liquid that flowed into the groove.
Bai Wanjie and the others were frozen. They felt a chill. The crystal wheel was not only able to decompose flesh, but it could also decompose treasures.
Han Sen wasn't surprised by this. The main material of treasures was xenogeneic genes. The Tiger God Eagle's body was a xenogeneic gene, too. There was no difference between the two, so it was normal for it to be decomposed.
What confused Han Sen was that when the little jade knife hit the big egg, the blonde lady inside the big egg reacted. It was like she had been disturbed in her sleep. She frowned, but she did not open her eyes.
After a while, the crystal machine inside the mountain stopped running. The big egg's light dimmed.
Bai Wanjie looked at Bai Wuchang and asked, "Wuchang, what happened?"
With Bai Wuchang's power, it was not difficult for him to control a treasure. The little jade knife should not have fallen.
Bai Wuchang sighed and said, "After the big egg was hit, my connection with the Broken Jade Knife was cut off by a weird power. I tried my best to pull it back, but it did not work. When the power entered the mountain, it disappeared."
"That is bad," Bai Ling Shuang said. "Creatures will be sucked to death by the big egg. After the treasure activates the big egg, it will be isolated. It will not be easy to break the big egg."
"If it was easy, it would not be a test left behind by the alpha," Bai Wanjie said.
Suddenly, everyone looked at the big egg inside the mountain. No one had a good idea of what to do. Bai Wanjie pulled out a chain of pearls. The chain of pearls had 108 pearls. Each pearl was the size of a longan fruit. They were white jade, and they looked like they had stars spinning inside them.
Bai Wanjie undid the chain. He took one of the pearls and threw it at the big egg. Suddenly, the light exploded. It made the big egg shake. The crystal machine inside started to activate.
Bai Wanjie kept throwing star pearls at the big egg. The big egg was shining brighter and brighter. The big egg was black, but as the light grew stronger, it became transparent.
"It looks like there is something inside."
Through the big egg's transparent shell, Bai Wuchang and the others could see the blonde lady inside. They could only see a bit of it. They could not see it clearly.
