Ye Tianchen never imagined that there would be too many unexpected things for him. He didn’t expect that ”Penglai Fairy Island” wasn’t the kind of immortal realm he imagined, filled with spiritual energy, immortal birds and divine beasts, with blessed lands and cave heavens everywhere. Ye Tianchen even imagined that such a world should have lots of spirit grass and immortal elixirs. However, the true ”Penglai Fairy Island” turned out not to be the imagined world of immortals, but rather a place filled with prehistoric aura, seemingly untouched by the rules of this martial arts world.

What surprised Ye Tianchen even more was that, just as he arrived on ”Penglai Fairy Island,” without having the chance to react or familiarize himself with the environment, he encountered a girl named ”Xiao Ling,” an elf-like figure. This girl was very clever and evidently lively, especially with her pair of sparkling eyes, which made Ye Tianchen find her adorable, akin to a cute little elf or fairy, giving off a vibrant sensation.

However, what surprised Ye Tianchen was that Xiao Ling didn’t tell him anything else but the first task she wanted him to do was ”steal something,” specifically an egg called ”Eight-armed Evil Dragon” egg.

According to Xiao Ling, the Eight-armed Evil Dragon was the first creature born in this martial arts world, even older than the ancient alien races, and is now close to extinction, incredibly powerful. Particularly, its egg contains immortal energy and can heal almost incurable ”Taoist injuries.”

”Little Emperor, it’s time for you to repay the favor. Go!” Xiao Ling said with a mischievous smile, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”No way, why should I go? It’s too dangerous, do you want me to die?” Ye Tianchen rolled his eyes at Xiao Ling, saying discontentedly.

”Rest assured, there won’t be any major dangers. I just noticed your speed, and with your speed, the Eight-armed Evil Dragon won’t be able to catch up to you!” Xiao Ling said earnestly.

Ye Tianchen looked at Xiao Ling, thinking this girl was truly clever and cheeky, wanting him to draw away the Eight-armed Evil Dragon so she could take the opportunity to steal the egg. He and this elf-like girl were not familiar in the slightest, practically strangers, and once Xiao Ling got the egg, she could just turn and run away; where could Ye Tianchen find her then? Besides, the name ”Eight-armed Evil Dragon” didn’t sound like a friendly creature; it was very likely Xiao Ling was tricking him, and if he went to draw the ”Eight-armed Evil Dragon” away, it would mean courting death!

”No way, I think this is too dangerous, we should deliberate more!” Ye Tianchen said plainly, certainly not foolish enough to court death by drawing the ”Eight-armed Evil Dragon” away.

”What deliberation, now is the moment when the Eight-armed Evil Dragon is weakest; it has just nurtured its egg with its essence energy. This is the safest time to draw it away, the opportunity is only once, hurry up!” Xiao Ling said anxiously, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”It will nurture today, and tomorrow it will continue nurturing; there’s no rush at this moment...” Ye Tianchen said indifferently, seemingly unmoved.

”Calling you an idiot, you truly are an idiot! The egg of the Eight-armed Evil Dragon is nurtured only once a year; I’ve been waiting for a long time, you’re just lucky to catch the moment!” Xiao Ling said peevishly, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”Only once a year? How long does it take for this egg to hatch?” Ye Tianchen felt astonished, unable to help asking.

”Heard it’s best after a hundred years!” Xiao Ling thought for a moment and said.

”What? A hundred years?” Ye Tianchen simply couldn’t believe it.

Regarding the reproduction of creatures like the ancient alien races, Ye Tianchen was naturally clueless, and it was his first encounter with a similar egg. The Eight-armed Evil Dragon reproduces by hatching eggs, which Ye Tianchen had not foreseen. Moreover, the egg needs a hundred years to hatch — truly shocking!

”Yes, the shortest time still requires a hundred years, which is why the species of Eight-armed Evil Dragon is rarely seen in the martial arts world. Because the egg contains an innate immortal energy, hatching it is difficult, and many embryos die in the egg. Additionally, the immortal energy in the egg can heal the ’Dao injuries’ of martial artists, making it a target for many martial arts experts. This has led to the Eight-armed Evil Dragon species becoming increasingly rare, and it’s feared there are only a few left in the entire martial arts world, with just one on Earth!” Xiao Ling nodded seriously, explaining.

Ye Tianchen glanced scornfully at Xiao Ling. This cheeky girl looked very clever and kind, seemingly without any schemes, yet she wanted him to draw away the ”Eight-armed Evil Dragon,” practically sending him to his death. This creature is certainly formidable; even though Ye Tianchen didn’t sense any fierce beast aura from this ”eight-legged” lizard, he could pick up some hints from Xiao Ling’s introduction. This thing is definitely not simple!

”It only nurtures once a year, not too long, right? I think we should just wait for the next time...” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said.

”You... do you know how many people are eyeing the egg of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon? I’ve been guarding it for a long time, and besides, I don’t even know how long this egg has been incubating. Maybe it will hatch in a year, why wait to steal it, go now!” Xiao Ling glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen, pinching him hard on the arm as she spoke.

”Hey, a gentleman uses his mouth and not his hands...” Ye Tianchen looked at Xiao Ling and said.

”I’m not a gentleman, I’m a cute little lady. Don’t wait, quickly distract it, and I can grab that egg in no time at all. With the speed of your Qi Manipulation Flying Skill, it shouldn’t be a problem at all!” Xiao Ling urged Ye Tianchen.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen was indeed a bit tempted. He knew there would definitely be danger; otherwise, this little girl wouldn’t be coaxing him to distract this ”Eight-Armed Evil Dragon.” However, he also wanted to see what was so magical about the so-called egg of the ”Eight-Armed Evil Dragon.” Was it really imbued with ”Immortal Energy”? Could it even heal ”Tao Injuries”?

Being able to heal ”Tao Injuries” is already quite miraculous and unbelievable, but having ”Immortal Energy” attached to it was even more shocking to Ye Tianchen. In this Martial Arts World, everyone’s ultimate goal was to achieve Immortality. The pursuit of immortality had become an unquenchable desire in everyone’s hearts. In this world, no matter how powerful, there wasn’t a single instance of anyone achieving Immortality. Thus, anything bearing the character ”Immortal” would surely be astonishing, which was Ye Tianchen’s main reason for wanting to see the egg of the ”Eight-Armed Evil Dragon.” As for healing ”Tao Injuries,” whether it could resolve the collision of two different energies in his body, Ye Tianchen put that as a lesser priority.

”Alright, I’ve decided, I’ll go distract the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, you go get the egg!” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment, looked at Xiao Ling, and said.

”Great, that’s the spirit! It wasn’t in vain that I saved your life earlier...” Xiao Ling chuckled and said.

Black lines appeared beside Ye Tianchen’s head. This little girl spoke without the slightest blush, claiming to have saved his life, when in fact, he had been in no danger at all at the time. Watching Xiao Ling speak in such a matter-of-fact manner, adopting the air of someone who was his savior, really left Ye Tianchen at a loss—he was both amused and exasperated. Finally, Ye Tianchen laughed, patted Xiao Ling on the shoulder, and said, ”Alright, meeting is fate, we are good friends!”

”Mm, good friends, hurry up, let’s share the egg of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon!” Xiao Ling nodded with an incredibly sweet smile and said.

Ye Tianchen didn’t linger; he was actually very curious himself and wanted to see what exactly lay inside the ”Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s” egg. What was this so-called Immortal Energy? He immediately rushed out, heading straight for the nest of the ”Eight-Armed Evil Dragon” in an attempt to lure it away. The simplest and most direct way was to enrage it; attacking it might be the only option, otherwise there was no other way. So Ye Tianchen adopted the most direct approach, charging towards the ”Eight-Armed Evil Dragon.”

Roar!

Suddenly, before Ye Tianchen even reached the perimeter of ”Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s” nest, which was still several hundred meters away, the ”Eight-Armed Evil Dragon” perched in the cave let out a fierce roar. It was only the size of an adult’s arm, not a gargantuan beast, yet it gave Ye Tianchen a thunderous roar.

Bang!

A massive surge of energy came crashing in. Ye Tianchen’s entire body was sent flying backward, his face full of shock. He had never expected a mere roar to possess such force, knocking him down.

”Such powerful force, just a single roar shattered the air. If I were a bit closer, I might have been injured!” thought Ye Tianchen, his heart skipping a beat.

With just that roar, the ”Eight-Armed Evil Dragon” locked its eyes on Ye Tianchen, seemingly forbidding him from taking another step forward. It did not easily leave its nest, appearing to be a wise creature aware of potential traps.

And since Ye Tianchen had already made his move, he had to succeed. Otherwise, what would be the point? So with right fist clenched tightly, he unleashed a punch with the ”Overlord Fist.” Without a bit of aggression, it would be impossible to fully enrage the ”Eight-Armed Evil Dragon” and lure it away from its nest. However, as Ye Tianchen launched the punch, he felt regret. He regretted provoking the ”Eight-Armed Evil Dragon” like this, fearing he might suffer because of it and face life-threatening danger!
