Chapter 1 - The Ten Eggs in the Lifebound Space
Volume 1: The Eggstraordinary Duo
Legends speak of the times the Heavenly Dao withers away and the cycle of reincarnation hits its limit. When that time comes, the endless realms will birth ten Primordial Chaos Beasts, each of them possessing bodies vaster than the realms of gods. In their wake, heaven and earth will collapse, all life would end, spacetime will invert, and the stars themselves perish.
These Primordial Chaos Beasts shall vanish as the old world passes. Only then will heaven and earth take shape once more. The natural order shall return, life will flourish, and a new world shall be born.
……
Dark clouds were pressing down on Flameyellow Scions Institute as a storm raged on outside. Institute disciple Li Tianming braved the downpour on the back of his lifebound beast, a Four-Winged Goldroc, before landing in front of a house.
The door creaked open to reveal a beautiful girl in a white dress. With one hand holding up her skirt, and an umbrella in another, she crossed the rain with a warm smile to shield Li Tianming from the rain.
“Happy anniversary, Qingqing!” The two hurried inside, whereupon Li Tianming produced a jade hairpin which he placed into her hand.
Mu Qingqing’s eyes sparkled. “What a pretty thing! Help me put it on.”
The two positioned themselves before a mirror as Li Tianming inserted the hairpin into her hair, giving her face a pinch as he did so. He missed the annoyance that briefly flickered in her eyes.
Despite the rumbling storm outside, the atmosphere within the house was sweet.
“Tianming, I want to become a woman tonight.” Mu Qingqing lowered her head as her face flushed charmingly.
“What do you mean?”
“I want to give you myself.” She began to remove her dress, revealing her soft skin that left one intoxicated.
However, Li Tianming only felt confusion. She had always had a haughty personality, and intimacy was a difficult thing even though they were dating. In fact, she had always said that cultivation was her priority, so they had never even gone public with their relationship. Why would she suddenly take the initiative tonight? Li Tianming retreated two steps.
“Scared?” she asked.
“Qingqing, something’s off with you today. This isn’t you.” They had gotten to know each other on the road to Ignispolis. Li Tianming had saved her life then, and they had gotten together afterwards.
“So how should I be then? Together with you for better and worse, and live a life of mediocrity?” Mu Qingqing’s expression suddenly twisted into a cold sneer as she continued to remove her clothes.
A thunderclap rang out as the house’s roof was torn off. Lightning arced across the sky, and in that singular instant, a violet Three-Eyed Eagle descended. Sitting atop it was a young man, within whose eyes seemed to lurk pools of lightning. Astride a violet three-eyed eagle and with the storm as a backdrop, he seemed every bit a child of lightning!
“Li Tianming, how dare you drug and assault Qingqing!” The young man’s wrath-filled voice was like thunder, and in response, the Three-Eyed Eagle suddenly unleashed a bolt of lightning that slammed into Li Tianming! The lifebound beast’s spiritsource ability left Li Tianming paralysed as electricity coursed through his body, and he fell onto the floor with a thud.
“Lin Xiaoting?!” Li Tianming was stunned. He recognised the man. After all, Lin Xiaoting was a famous existence in the institute. His talent was shocking, and not only was he one of the institute’s Heaven’s Division disciples, he was even born to Ignispolis’ Lightning Manor. Among the most elite of all the children in the nation of Vermilion Bird’s powerful families, he alone stood at the peak!
