Sure enough, both eggs were gone, leaving only a pile of eggshells on the ground, with faint traces of black demonic energy visible on the inner walls of the shells.
“We examined these two eggs carefully, so how could they suddenly be filled with demonic energy?” Not only Feng Qing, but all the Phoenix Clan members were puzzled. They had all been watching over the two eggs, yet none of them had noticed anything wrong with them.
Yuan Qi examined the eggshells closely, his brow furrowing as he spoke in a deep voice, “These two eggs must have been filled with demonic energy long ago. It just deliberately concealed the life force inside, so the demonic energy was not visible. In addition, you have been continuously infusing them with divine power these days, which has not only strengthened their power but also made it easier for them to conceal the demonic energy.”
The faces of all the phoenixes turned ashen. They had channeled their divine power to save their kin, but they hadn't expected that the phoenix inside had already fallen into demonic possession.
"But... why is this happening? He's a phoenix, and a thunder phoenix at that. How could he willingly become a demon?" Although the phoenix clan is a bit eccentric when it comes to finding a mate, they are proud by nature. How could they abandon their divine identity and become a demon?
“Perhaps it wasn’t willing!” Yuan Qi picked up a piece of eggshell, glanced at the phoenix clan, and then said in a deep voice, “There is the aura of a demonic seed on this! It must have been implanted with a demonic seed while it was asleep, and then gradually transformed into a demon before it even had any consciousness.”
"..." Everyone suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
Demon Seed?
Who could plant the seed of evil in the gods without them even realizing it?
"But there were clearly two eggs, yet only one appeared just now?" Feng Qing asked.
"Perhaps one failed to transform and instead became nourishment for another to become a demon?" Yuan Qi glanced at the eggshell again. Demon seeds are things that bewitch the mind and lure people into becoming demons. But the gods are not like ordinary beings. Unless they are willing, as long as they have a shred of consciousness, they will not fall into the demonic path.
The other egg must have awakened a sliver of consciousness when it was transformed into a demon by the demon seed, so it was not completely transformed and was instead devoured by the demon seed.
You You suddenly realized that when the first egg broke, there was indeed nothing inside, only surging demonic energy. And the demon-possessed Thunder Phoenix had clearly emerged from the other egg.
But who planted the demonic seed in the egg, and what was their purpose?
Unfortunately, no one had much time to think. The next moment, Shuiyan flew over hurriedly on her sword. Before she could even bow, she spoke anxiously.
"Sect Master! There's something unusual happening at Tian Sheng Mountain!"
"!!!!"
