Chapter 982: Blood Spirit Soil Fetus

The silvery cries of the phoenix pierced through the air. Crimson flames from Mo Ling’s body swept across the place as if they were going to set the sky ablaze. The temperature of the space rose immediately to the point that the space started becoming a little distorted.

“Flames of the Phoenix?!”

At that very moment, the powerhouse from the Lightning Crow Clan, who had initially intended to attack Mo Ling, also realized the abnormality of the flames. Blood drained from his face. He immediately retreated. At the same time, black spiritual energy erupted and transformed into a protective barrier at the front lines as an attempt to block Mo Ling’s attacks.

It had never crossed his mind that Mo Ling, whom they thought was the weakest among the rest, actually possessed such astonishing powers. Besides, how was it possible for the people of the Nine Netherbird Clan to cultivate the Flames of the Phoenix?

Although the Nine Netherbird Clan possessed the bloodline of the Primordial Undying Bird, the Primordial Undying Bird was a mutant from the Phoenix Clan. Thus, even if there was an awakening, it would definitely be impossible for it to be this form of Flames of the Phoenix.

The Phoenix Clan was the ultimate clan in the world of the Spiritual Beasts. They were arrogant and powerful. They would never spare a glance for the other clans. Sometimes, they would not even respect the Dragon Clan. Meanwhile, there were quite a number of Divine Beasts clans of the bird species who possessed the Phoenix Clan’s bloodline. Many of them were only able to stand out in the Spiritual Beasts World due to this bloodline. Hence, the Phoenix Clan had a rather high status in the bird species of the Spiritual Beasts World.

Bam! Bam!

The crimson blaze swept over the place as it immediately burned off the black lightning that was acting as a barricade. Finally, in the fearful gaze of the powerhouse from the Lightning Crow Clan, the opponent was quickly engulfed by the blaze.

Ah!

A burning figure fled helter-skelter from the fire. He was completely on fire as he let out shrill and anguished cries. A moment later, out of sheer desperation, he used his internal spiritual energy to extinguish the flames. However, he was already burned to the verge of death. His body smouldered with black smoke. He looked extremely battered and exhausted.

At that very moment, his fighting spirit completely vanished. He did not even dare to snatch the Blood Spirit Soil there and immediately retreated with his tail between his legs.

Mo Ling and the powerhouse of the Lightning Crow Clan merely had a quick fight before the opponent faced a terrible defeat. Evidently, this was all due to the fact that the latter had acted too carelessly. He could have never imagined that Mo Ling, who seemed frail and weak, would conceal such amazing powers within her. At the very start, he had already been thrown into passivity. In the end, he was defeated before he even had a chance to strike back.

At that very moment when Mo Ling had defeated the Lightning Crow Clan’s powerhouse, Mu Chen, who was at the other end, had his eyes fixated on the activity there. He was also a little taken aback.

Mo Ling actually possessed such a brilliant trick. This explains why she was able to obtain one of the positions in the Nine Netherbird Clan. However, if she is part of the Phoenix Clan, how can she be a member of the Nine Netherbird Clan?

Isn’t the Phoenix Clan extremely arrogant and pompous? Why would they stoop to joining the Nine Netherbird Clan?

Mu Chen shook his head in confusion. The Dragon Elephant Wheel in his palms collided with another Lightning Crow Clan powerhouse who stood right in front of him.

Bam!

When they collided, the Lightning Crow Clan’s powerhouse’s expression changed. This was because he could sense a surge of indescribably horrifying energy sweeping in his direction. It was as if the thunderous roars of the Dragon Elephant had rippled out from the core of the energy.

Under the impact of the surge of energy, his attack was immediately torn down with ease. Before he could even circulate his spiritual energy again, the Dragon Elephant Wheel transformed into a ray of light and broke through his defenses. It then violently hit his chest.

Snigger.

He spat out fresh blood. The Lightning Crow Clan’s powerhouse immediately collapsed. He was in a sorry state. He looked down at the wound on his chest. It cut him so deeply that his bones were exposed. Fear was plastered all over his face.

How could a human who seemed like he was merely a Grade Six Sovereign possess such frightening abilities? In the previous head-on battle, he could clearly sense that the opponent’s body and level of spiritual energy cultivation had greatly surpassed his abilities.

This human is a sandbagger!

Although he had other intentions in his mind, the Lightning Crow Clan’s powerhouse could only take this opportunity to retreat. The injured powerhouse left and did not even dare to take possession of the meteorite. He already knew that all of them had misjudged the situation this time. Although the Nine Netherbird Clan’s battle formation looked weak, it was a complete facade.

The two powerhouses from the Lightning Crow Clan who had attempted to snatch the Blood Spirit Soil fled in defeat. This led to the sudden change in the expressions of the two Lightning Crow Clan’s Grade Seven Sovereigns who were obstructing Nine Nether and Ink Blade’s way. At this point of time, they were clearly aware that they had merely walked into their opponent’s trap.

“Alright, alright, the Nine Netherbird Clan does have some brilliant tricks up their sleeves!” said the man who was wearing a black robe as he gritted his teeth.

Regardless, Nine Nether and Ink Blade ignored his statements. Their offensive attacks became even more violent and aggressive. They sent the two Grade Seven Sovereigns of the Lightning Crow Clan into complete frenzies. They could not even divert their attention toward Mu Chen and Mo Ling.

When Nine Nether and Ink Blade managed to entangle their opponents, Mu Chen and Mo Ling landed on the extremely gigantic meteorite. As they reunited, Mo Ling blinked her huge eyes at Mu Chen and said with a smile, “Brother Mu Chen, how was it?”

Mu Chen raised his thumb as he smiled. “Brilliant, it was a complete surprise.”

Upon receiving Mu Chen’s compliments, a shade of happiness appeared on Mo Ling’s little face. The innocent desire for romance was undoubtedly revealed all over her countenance.

“Are you part of the Phoenix Clan?” asked Mu Chen out of sheer curiosity.

After hearing his question, the smile on Mo Ling’s little face froze. Her radiant eyes also turned a little gloomy. She did not answer Mu Chen.

Looking at the situation, Mu Chen was a little startled. However, he understood that there might be some secrets which could not be revealed to an outsider and immediately changed the topic. “We need to make the best use of our time and collect the Blood Spirit Soil.”

Mo Ling nodded.

Mu Chen landed on top of the ginormous meteorite. As he got closer to it, he realized that the vital energy and blood rays in the meteorolite were richer than he expected.

On the meteorite’s surface, rays of blood kept gushing out from the bottom, completely dying the stone in a bloody red. It looked rather bewitching.

“Such strong rays of vital energy and blood…”

Upon looking at the scene, Mu Chen could not help but lick his lips. All the previous meteorites which were impregnated with the Blood Spirit Soil evidently paled in comparison to the one before their eyes.

“I wonder how powerful the Blood Spirit Soil in this is.” Mo Ling’s face was filled with anticipation. Throughout their journey, they had yet to see a meteorite with such powerful rays of vital energy and blood. Hence, they were able to predict that the Blood Spirit Soil in it would evidently be incomparable to the previous ones they had found.

“You will find out once you have extracted it.”

Mu Chen smiled. Without any hesitation, he violently stomped his feet on the ground. An astonishingly powerful energy surged over the whole place. Suddenly, a gigantic crack started sprawling out at lightning speed from the soles of his feet like spider webs. In a short span of time, the meteorite had completely suffused into the air.

Although it seemed like a soft and swift step, he had actually completely unleashed all his physical energy. He had not held back.

The gigantic crack crept over the meteorite. The meteorite also emitted a low explosion. The ground crumbled, and the rich rays of vital energy and blood gushed out in an increasingly violent manner.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Following the explosion of the meteorite, which had sprawled into the depths of the stone, an approximately 100-foot-tall ray of vital energy and blood spurted out from the core of the meteorolite as if it had a life of its own. In the midst of the rays of blood, Mu Chen could clearly see a blood ball the size of a human head being shot out from it before it fled toward the sky.

“Trying to escape?”

Upon looking at the situation, Mu Chen merely smiled and snapped his finger. A wave of spiritual energy surged out and immediately encircled the blood ball radiating blood rays. It then swirled backwards.

The rays of blood gradually fell toward Mu Chen. He reached out and grabbed them with his hands. As he stared at them, his eyes could not help but narrow.

There was an oval-shaped object amid the rays of blood. However, the surface of the object was rather translucent. One could faintly see the formation of an alien substance in it. The substance seemed like a fetus, but the shape of the fetus was extremely bizarre. It did not take the shape of a Spiritual Beast. Instead, it looked as if it possessed the appearance of various Spiritual Beasts. It was neither fish nor fowl.

The streak of Blood Spirit Soil no longer took the form of pure soil. Instead, it looked as if it had a life of its own.

Mo Ling looked stunned as she stared at the object. Her eyes then lit up as she said in amazement, “This is the fetus of the Blood Spirit Soil. Due to the overwhelmingly powerful vital energy and blood, it has further evolved to possess a mind of its own. However, it would be impossible for this creature to be born with intelligence. Otherwise, after millions of years, it might transform into a creature which could rival the real Spiritual Beast.”

Mu Chen was a little shocked after hearing her statements. However, he understood it immediately after. It shared the same theory as that of the worldly treasures. When it had strengthened itself to a certain level, it would be able to gain intelligence.

“The fetus of the Blood Spirit Soil has 100 streaks more than the rest that we have gotten previously.” Mo Ling could not help but praise it. She smiled sweetly. “If we were to sell it in the Great Thousand World, it would cost at least 5,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.”

Five million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

Mu Chen also smacked his lips. It would be utterly impossible for him to obtain so much Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

“I guess luck is on our side,” said Mu Chen with a smile. He immediately stowed the fetus of the Blood Spirit Soil. At this moment, the meteorite beneath their feet gradually began to collapse due to the absence of the Blood Spirit Soil’s fetus. They believed that it would soon shatter.

Mu Chen called out to Mo Ling. “Let’s go.” The two of them directly dashed and returned to top of the riding meteorite.

Upon witnessing their safe return. Nine Nether and Ink Blade stopped fighting with the two Grade Seven Sovereigns and immediately retreated.

The man who was clad in a black robe turned livid with rage upon seeing this scenario. His eyes were fixated on Mu Chen and Mo Ling. After a while, he gritted his teeth as he said, “Alright, the Nine Netherbird Clan may have won this time. However, it’s not over yet. After we have arrived at the Land of the Divine Beasts, we, the Lightning Crow Clan, will deal with you guys once again!”

“Anytime,” said Nine Nether with a cold smile on her face.

The man in the black robe glanced at the four of them coldly. He could no longer be bothered to utter another word of nonsense. He immediately turned around and left. Then, the four of them rode on the meteorite and sped away.

Mu Chen stared at them from a distance as they walked further away. Deep inside, he understood that they had made enemies with the people of the Lightning Crow Clan. However, everything was evidently worth it, as they were able to obtain the Blood Spirit Soil’s fetus.
