Fang Yu came to her senses and looked at Huixu’s concerned face, instantly remembering the girl sleeping in the nest.
“If I’m not mistaken, Cao Tian is also in that nest.” Fang Yu said again.
Upon hearing this, Huixu’s eyes changed.
“Don’t worry, she’s not in any immediate danger,” Fang Yu said with a slight frown. “To survive in such an environment… is Cao Tian really just an ordinary person?”
“She… she really never practiced before.” Huixu’s breath became a bit heavier, and he asked, “Fang brother, can you enter that nest again?”
“No, it’s probably the fetus that was frightened, and the entrance to the nest closed… That vortex has disappeared.” Fang Yu said, “We can’t get in now.”
He wore a look of feigned innocence, but his expression flickered.
“That nest must have an entrance and exit for a reason,” Fang Yu squinted, saying, “So it won’t be closed for too long, it will appear again sooner or later.”
This is not a baseless speculation.
Because Fang Yu saw clearly in the nest, the fetus needed to absorb a large amount of nutrients.
So, where do nutrients come from?
It is absolutely impossible to be self-sufficient from a solitary nest, sustenance must inevitably come from the outside.
Therefore, that entrance… will eventually have to be opened.
As for Cao Tian’s safety, judging by what I just saw, she is not in immediate danger of death,” Fang Yu said softly. “I am just puzzled, who was the one who took her away, and why did they put her into the nest? She is just an ordinary person.”
Huixu remained silent, but a chill flickered in his eyes.
He must rescue Cao Tian and find the killer who murdered her family of four!
Fang Yu looked down at the lake, then turned his head toward the direction of the Di family.
“The pool deep in the Imperial family’s residence, leading to the underground waterway of Qianying Lake…” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, stroking his chin, and fell into thought.
Although he didn’t know exactly how it was done, he always felt that a series of things, like the whirlpool underwater, the babies in the nest, and even Cao Tian being kidnapped… were all related to the Imperial Family!
It’s even possible that… the nutrients a fetus needs are provided by the Imperial Family!
“The Heavenly Sound Compass didn’t lie. The Imperial Family is indeed the key.” Fang Yu looked at Huixu and smiled slightly, “We… should go to the Imperial Family again.”
Huai Xu nodded, his eyes cold and resolute.
……
In front of the pond behind the Imperial Palace, a large crowd had already gathered.
Over 200 core members of the imperial family were all present.
They stood solemnly, their eyes wide with horror, staring intently at the figure of Emperor Chen standing before the pool.
Everyone is eagerly awaiting the moment when Emperor Chen merges with the experimental body.
This is the final stage of the Emperor’s long-term plan!
Although it has been mentioned a few times, the results are also visible!
Di Chen’s successful integration of the experimental subject represents the success or failure of the plan!
At this moment, the five Grand Masters are beside Emperor Chen.
The Grand Master Di Xiong Yuan stood beside Emperor Chen.
“I am ready, Lord Master.” Di Chen took a deep breath and stared straight at the pale green surface of the water, saying.
“Okay.”
Di Xiong Yuan stood before the pond, extending a hand creased with wrinkles.
“Boom!”
The pool immediately began to churn.
After a while, a whirlpool appeared on the surface of the pool!
From the center of the vortex, a black beam shot out!
Gradually, a mass of black light floated up.
A chill wind swept through the air.
“This is the closest we’ve come to a mature specimen yet.” Di Xiuyuan looked at Di Chen and said, “I don’t think the risk will be high.”
Emperor Chen nodded heavily, his eyes resolute, and said: “I believe in myself, and I also believe in the master.”
“Then…let’s begin.”
Di Xiong Yuan reached out with his right hand, and the black light flew over to him quickly.
He soon arrived before Di Chen!
At this moment, the cold air grew even more palpable.
“Alright, you can merge it now.”
Between their words, Di Xiong Yuan motioned for the other elders and the onlookers behind them to step back.
He also retreated.
By the pond, only Emperor Chen remained.
Di Chen looked at the black-glowing object in front of him, gritted his teeth, and raised his right hand.
Then, he gripped the object tightly!
Seeing this, everyone behind held their breath.
They know, next… Emperor Chen is going to merge with the test subject.
This is very likely to be a process that every member of their imperial family will have to go through in the future!
Di Chen grabbed the object, which felt soft and squishy.
At this moment, the mass no longer flickered with black light and could be clearly seen as an embryo.
Di Chen gasped for breath, his eyes growing more determined.
He wants to become stronger, he wants revenge for the Eight Divine Sects, he wants to get back the face that Fang Yu crushed!
Then, Emperor Chen opened his mouth and shoved the embryo he was holding into his mouth, swallowing it whole!
A look of astonishment appeared on the faces of those behind him.
After all, it’s just an embryo. They find it hard to accept this way of merging.
But…the only way to merge is so simple and brutal, just swallow it!
Seeing Di Chen swallow the embryo, everyone held their breath even more, not daring to breathe.
They stared intently at Di Chen.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes passed…
Emperor Chen stood with his back to them, completely motionless.
“What’s wrong? Did something go wrong?” someone asked out loud.
Be quiet!
At this moment, Fourth Master Di Zhao Yang turned his head and angrily rebuked.
Everyone fell silent once more.
Time passed slowly.
Emperor Chen stood still for ten minutes.
It looks like nothing has changed.
However, no one knows… On the side they can’t see, Di Chen’s face and skin… have already undergone extremely terrifying changes!
The skin turned from normal to snow-white and then gradually grayed, with thick scales growing on it.
The eyes went from black and white to completely black.
The nose bridge is sunken, at the same level as the rest of the face, leaving only two nostrils.
As for the bones within, they creaked and groaned, constantly merging and strengthening.
It was fifteen minutes past the hour.
“Boom…”
A loud bang!
Di Chen’s entire body emanated a terrifying black aura, spreading outward like a whirlwind.
His garments were ripped, revealing his scales, gleaming a dark gray all over!
But on his back, two translucent black wings sprouted!
A chilling and powerful aura, suppressing heaven and earth!
“Boom boom boom…”
Rumbles, one after another, emanated from Di Chen’s body!
At this moment, many members of the imperial family exclaimed in astonishment!
It worked!
Di Chen successfully merged with the test subject!
From then on, he possessed a physical body and strength comparable to that of a celestial demon!
His strength will far surpass the mortal realm, able to rival saints!
At this very moment, many members of the Imperial Family are filled with excitement.
For them, Emperor Chen’s present is their future!
In the future, they will each be able to merge with demonic celestial power!
“Big Brother, you look very successful. Your aura has already surpassed the realm of mortals.” Di Zhaoyang said excitedly to Di Xiongyuan.
Di Xiong Yuan did not speak, but just stared at Di Chen in front of him.
