Douluo: Starting from the Spirit of Time Worm

"Boom!"

A monstrous giant snake collapsed.

The one who attacked was Zhou Ye. He slowly withdrew his spiritual energy. Behind him, thick scales covered a giant rhinoceros phantom, as massive as a small mountain, gradually dissipated as the spiritual energy was withdrawn.

"Your Uncle Zhou has already advanced to the early stage of the Divine Soul Realm. The spirit beast essence he refined is the Mountainous Spirit Rhinoceros, ranked 180th on the Myriad Beasts Record's Earth Ranking," Mu Feng said with a smile.

A look of envy appeared on Mu Chen's face…

When will I possess such power? I wonder what spirit beast I can refine when I reach the Divine Soul Realm… If I could refine the essence of the Spirit Devouring Insect, I would be able to occupy a place among the powerhouses of the Great Thousand World in the future…

Some youthful fantasies appeared in his mind, but he quickly restrained them, returning to reality.

As the team continued to delve deeper into the Black Underworld Abyss, the surrounding environment became increasingly desolate, giving people a creepy feeling.

They encountered Liu Territory's team. After a brief exchange, they had to temporarily stop due to the appearance of the Spirit Devouring Bee swarm.

After a series of stumbles, they finally approached their destination.

This was a vast basin. The ground appeared to have been scorched by flames, exhibiting a charred black color.

The basin was filled with white bones, mostly from spirit beasts, with a small portion from humans. The spirit beasts seemed to be attracted by something, but they all died on the way to that thing.

This strange scene shocked everyone, and a trace of fear couldn't help but rise in their hearts.

Following the direction of the bones, in the middle of the basin, there was a huge black flame, with a sunken mountaintop, which was the location recorded in the bronze fragment.

Mu Chen and Mu Feng exchanged a look, a hint of joy appearing on their faces:

"We found the right location, this is it!"

A subtle sound came from behind. The joy on Mu Feng's face receded, turning into coldness:

"As expected, they still came… The people from Liu Territory…"

Liu Territory also attached great importance to this operation. The lineup was similar to Mu Territory's. The person leading the team was Liu Qingtian, the lord of Liu Territory.

Liu Qingtian reacted almost simultaneously, a giant ape phantom covered in silver scales emerging.

"The Thunder Scaled Beast, ranked one hundred and thirty-third on the Myriad Beasts Record's Earth Ranking?" Mu Chen recognized the spirit beast essence refined by Liu Qingtian at a glance.

After the two leaders attacked, the people from Mu Territory and Liu Territory also engaged in a fierce battle.

Zhou Ye used the power of the Mountainous Spirit Rhinoceros, and fought with Liu Zong, the second master of Liu Territory, who was transformed into a emerald green giant scorpion by spiritual energy.

Mu Chen's eyes flashed. He didn't join the melee, but rushed directly towards the crater.

"Mu Bai, stop him!" Liu Qingtian shouted.

Liu Mubai quickly chased after Mu Chen.

Hearing the sound of rushing wind from behind, Mu Chen glanced at his old opponent from the Northern Spiritual Academy out of the corner of his eye, and injected more spiritual energy into his legs, increasing his speed by a few points.

Liu Mubai also accelerated, chasing closely.

The two quickly swept across the basin, moving upwards along the steep mountain, exchanging a few blows along the way. After reaching the summit, they hesitated slightly, then tapped their toes and slid into the crater.

The crater was very deep, the light was dim, and there was black volcanic rock everywhere. They didn't continue fighting, but carefully looked around, searching for traces of the Nine Nether Sparrow.

After scanning around without finding any sign of the Nine Nether Sparrow, Mu Chen focused his attention on a huge rock that seemed somewhat abrupt.

He gently touched the black giant rock with his palm, feeling a trace of warmth. Then he retracted his arm, spiritual energy surged, and he slammed a punch heavily on the giant rock.

The giant rock trembled, and a crack appeared on the rock, accompanied by the sound of cracking. Pieces of rubble fell from the giant rock.

Black ghostly light bloomed from within the rock. When all the rock fragments had fallen, the scene inside the giant rock was revealed.

A ball of light floated quietly in the air. Within the ball of light, there was a giant black egg about ten feet in size.

The black egg was jet-black and smooth, and the surface of the eggshell was covered with obscure and mysterious patterns. On closer inspection, it seemed as if a black bird spread its wings, protecting the black egg.

Mu Chen's eyes flickered. He didn't think that such a powerful spirit beast would be defenseless after turning into an egg, so he decided to play it safe and didn't blindly collect it.

Liu Mubai couldn't restrain the greed in his heart and rushed towards the black egg. As a result, he was hit in the chest by a black beam of light, spitting out blood and flying backwards.

The black egg slowly floated upwards, floating above the crater. Black light spread out, illuminating the entire basin, appearing eerie and ominous.

Mu Chen and Liu Mubai also came out of the crater.

Afterwards, Mu Feng and Liu Qingtian began to compete for the black egg, but when the two rushed towards the black egg together, Mu Feng paused for a moment under Mu Chen's shout, letting Liu Qingtian come into contact with the black egg first.

The black egg erupted with terrifying suction, as if it wanted to devour Liu Qingtian. The latter had to sever his arm, abandoning the arm that was attached to the black egg, and barely escaped.

The activated black egg attracted many spirit beasts, absorbing their spiritual energy, transforming into a giant Nine Nether Sparrow, and attempting to evolve again.

The sky suddenly became cloudy and terrifying lightning gathered.

The sound of the sparrow's cry resounded throughout the sky, and black flames scattered. In the black flames, a pair of huge wings that seemed to be able to cover mountains unfolded.

The black flames seemed to burn everything between heaven and earth, the spiritual energy began to boil, and the air became scorching hot, forcing people to use spiritual energy to resist.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and black lightning danced like thunder dragons in the clouds.

"This is… Black God Thundercloud… Does the Nine Nether Sparrow want to evolve again?" Mu Feng's pupils shrank, and his eyes revealed horror.

The Nine Nether Sparrow looked at the thunderclouds in the sky, its pupils filled with fighting intent.

It let out a long cry and took the initiative to attack the thunderclouds.

Heaven and earth seemed to be angered by this behavior, and black thunder dragons fell from the clouds, colliding with the black flames that rolled upwards.

The black thunder scattered the fire pillars and struck the Nine Nether Sparrow, causing it to let out a painful cry.

In the thundercloud that should have been silent, a girl with fiery red hair, short stature, and between a girl and a loli, looked at the tenacious and stubborn Nine Nether Sparrow, and啧啧 said:

"You're really bad at this, but you still want to play. Don't you know how much you weigh? Instead of thinking about how to protect yourself, you're actually provoking the lightning tribulation…

"There really is a trace of heaven and earth's will in the lightning tribulation… You're just making it harder for yourself."

The red-haired girl's face was beautiful and heroic, she was wearing fiery red clothes, barefoot, stepping on a black thunderbolt.

The terrifying thunder that split the Nine Nether Sparrow open and caused it to cry in pain was like a docile kitten under her feet.

She adjusted the monocle on her right eye and looked at Mu Chen in the crowd.

Revealing an interested smile: "Hey… do you want spirit beast essence? How about the Spirit Devouring Insect's? The strength is guaranteed, super powerful!"

The lightning tribulation continued, and the Nine Nether Sparrow flapped its wings, constantly fighting against the lightning, but its aura became weaker and weaker.

Obviously, its accumulation was not enough, and this attempt would end in failure again.

But at this moment, the people from Mu Territory and Liu Territory didn't intend to stay to pick up the pieces. Both sides hurried away.

The energy between heaven and earth became more and more turbulent, and their small bodies probably couldn't withstand even a single aftershock.

The Nine Nether Sparrow withstood the test of one thunderbolt after another, but its aura also dropped to the lowest point.

In the sky, the Black God Thundercloud began to shrink, and the dim sky brightened a bit.

However, this was not because the lightning tribulation was about to recede, but because it was gathering power. The next lightning strike would definitely be an earth-shattering blow, far exceeding the previous ones.

The Nine Nether Sparrow lay on the ground, struggling to get up, looking up at the sky, its eyes filled with strong anger and unwillingness.

Black flames rose up, burning fiercely, and the temperature between heaven and earth increased again.

"Run… that Nine Nether Sparrow is crazy, it wants to self-destruct!" Mu Feng looked terrified.

The people from Mu Territory ran with afterimages under their feet, wishing they could grow two more legs.

Rumble!

The final thunderbolt fell suddenly, and the black flames condensed by the Nine Nether Sparrow also burst open.

A terrifying mushroom cloud rose slowly, and a strong storm swept across all directions.

The impact of the storm blew dust into the air, uprooting countless plants. Although the people from Mu Territory and Liu Territory had run far away, they were still affected, and were overturned on the ground, looking very embarrassed.

A few unlucky people who fell behind in the team were even blasted with internal injuries, and blood overflowed from the corners of their mouths.

Clusters of black flames rose to the sky with the shock wave, and then fell like a rain of meteorites.

The red-haired girl's body was filled with starlight, and she turned into a stream of light, merging into one of the flames.

"Run, don't let those flames touch you." Mu Feng shouted.

But at this moment, a cluster of black flames fell towards them.

Mu Feng's face changed, looking at the black flames that were rapidly magnifying in his pupils, he gritted his teeth: "Zhou Ye!"

Zhou Ye understood, and the two roared, taking a step together, and their majestic spiritual energy swept out, turning into a thick spiritual energy barrier.

The black flames, like meteors, slammed heavily on the spiritual energy barrier with long tails of flames.

The spiritual energy barrier shattered after resisting for a while, and the black flames poured down like a flood.

Even though most of the power was borne by Mu Feng and Zhou Ye, the aftermath still caused Mu Chen, who was not far away, to be shaken and fly out, hitting a rock and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"This is too terrifying…" Before Mu Chen could stand up, he saw a small cluster of flames rushing towards him, hitting his body.

I'm done…

Mu Chen only had time to flash this thought in his mind, and then felt a sharp pain, and then fell into darkness.

In the fleeting glimpse before fainting, he vaguely saw a starlight.
