Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2044: 541: Father and Son Meet, Demon Fetus Transformation!

"Hmm!?"

Inside the Kunpeng Egg, Lu Quanzhen parasitizing the Kunpeng chick kept absorbing and plundering the creature's energy and nutrients habitually, yet felt a touch dazed.

Right then, an instinctive fear suddenly surged through him.

This terror wasn't his own—it originated from the Kunpeng chick!

After possessing and latching onto the Kunpeng chick, they forged a profound symbiotic bond, nearly becoming one entity, so he frequently perceived the chick's emotions, thoughts, and even memory fragments.

For years, the Kunpeng chick had radiated only murderous intent and deep hatred toward him, eager to hatch swiftly and eradicate this parasite entirely—never once displaying such dread.

Even during his forceful takeover of the Kunpeng Giant Egg, when he used the Kunpeng Qi Mechanism to draw in Third Rank Top Level Demon Kings, the chick held only animosity for him, with scant fear.

"What on earth could terrify it this much!?"

Lu Quanzhen's foggy mind sharpened instantly, as he fought to purge the primal fear from his thoughts and peered outward via the Kunpeng Egg's vantage.

However, the moment he caught sight of hazy nebulous water mists, the arcane rugged runes atop the Kunpeng Giant Egg dulled, the whole egg shifting to a lifeless fossil state, sealing off his view.

Lu Quanzhen recognized this as the Kunpeng chick's ploy.

Resembling Turtle Breath dormancy or rotten wood camouflage, it hid flawlessly, devoid of any vital aura.

"A Fourth Rank Demon King maybe? Choosing to hibernate instead of fleeing."

Lu Quanzhen grasped that this hibernation posed extreme peril.

Should concealment fail, it meant certain doom.

Yet over fleeing, the Kunpeng chick opted for hibernation—there had to be a compelling cause.

Thus, moments dragged on bit by bit.

Linked in symbiosis with the Kunpeng chick, Lu Quanzhen keenly sensed its mounting anxiety, leaving him utterly on edge.

After all, lethal peril to the Kunpeng Egg left him no escape but demise.

Time stretched endlessly in that instant.

"Is that the beast?"

Though hibernating and blocking Lu Quanzhen's sight, the Kunpeng chick couldn't fully obscure everything.

He could still perceive happenings within a few yards.

Right now, a colossal Demon Beast spanning several yards approached, crowned with two crystalline dragon horns, faint dragon motifs gliding across its form, wing-like fin limbs, vaguely whale-resembling.

Lu Quanzhen had encountered Sea Splitting Mysterious Whales previously.

But this one had advanced to Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, then further to Fourth Rank, transforming its shape beyond recognition from past forms.

"Hmm?"

Now, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale eyed the Kunpeng Giant Egg ahead with black-hole vortex gazes.

The vista somewhat echoed the Master's description, featuring an egg.

Still, this egg appeared drab and primordial, stone-like, utterly unlike the one Master pursued.

Yet from this stone egg emanated an intense craving, an inexplicable pull!

It stemmed from deep Demon Beast bloodline instincts!

At once, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale gaped its massive maw brimming with frigid razor fangs, poised to gulp the stone egg.

"Clang, clang, clang——"

Breath held tight while fixating on the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, Lu Quanzhen abruptly sensed frenzied alarm bells tolling in his heart lake.

A lethal death Qi Mechanism barreled over, engulfing him entirely.

Not just him—the Kunpeng chick sensed the deadly peril too.

But in this instant, action eluded him.

"Swish!"

The ancient dull fossil-resembling Kunpeng Egg stirred to life, its intricate rugged runes swirling and igniting with golden splendor and shadowy arcane glow, fighting to wrench free and flee.

Yet it remained just a chick.

Not fully emerged from the giant egg.

Against a True Spirit Bloodline Fourth Rank Demon King like the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, it held zero power.

Swiftly snagged by the beast's enormous jaws, the eggshell nearly cracking apart.

"Mm~"

Clenching the Kunpeng Egg in its bite, Lu Lingjing brimmed with wonder.

With the Kunpeng Egg clutched in its mouth, golden radiance and dark luminosity weaving dynamically, this matched precisely the egg Master tasked it to locate.

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's maw resembled a turbulent abyss of jagged blades, saliva dripping copiously amid regret.

This Kunpeng Giant Egg's Qi Mechanism had leaked, unleashing an irresistible allure upon first whiff.

Should it consume the egg, power would surge dramatically, bloodline refining sharply.

But Master's directive to retrieve it forced mere drooling.

Demonic qi then billowed as it gulped mightily, stashing the Kunpeng Giant Egg into its stomach cavity temporarily to halt any breakout.

Though merely several yards in span currently, its inner stomach mirrored a Storage Bag, posing no hindrance.

"It's finished!"

Watching the Kunpeng Giant Egg vanish into the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's stomach chamber, struggles proving utterly vain, Lu Quanzhen's heart sank into despair.

He'd plotted to stake everything on escape post-hatching.

Who knew a Demon King would strike at this juncture.

Uncertain of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's exact might, he knew it ranked as a Fourth Rank Demon King.

"Fourth Rank Demon King..."

Fleeing the belly of a Fourth Rank Demon King was sheer delusion.

Plus, his mystic symbiosis with the Kunpeng chick revealed how potently its bloodline tempted fellow Demon Beasts.

...

"Hmm!?"

At that juncture, peering through the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror], Lu Changsheng paused his deep sea hunt, hand rising faintly to grasp the Jade Talisman cradled against him.

This Sensing Talisman had been bestowed upon the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.

"Ling Whale ran into trouble?"

Lu Changsheng promptly figured the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale had clashed with rival Demon Kings.
