Chapter 60

In the black basin, a cool breeze blew, and the countless white bones seemed to tremble slightly. The scene made one's heart feel a bit cold.

"This is where the Nine Nether Sparrow is located!"

At this moment, the eyes of the two groups of people in this area lit up. They stared at the black volcano, their gazes filled with greed and fervor.

Liu Qingtian's eyes were burning. He turned to look at Mu Feng, who was not far behind, and let out a cold laugh. A powerful spiritual energy surged out, and his figure shot forward like an arrow, heading straight for the volcano.

Behind him, Liu Zong, Liu Ming, Liu Mu Bai, and others immediately followed.

"Attack!"

Mu Feng also shouted, and a powerful spiritual energy burst out from his body. It then transformed into a huge fiery phoenix behind him. The phoenix's dragon wings flapped, instantly turning into a streak of fire, and Mu Feng leaped onto the back of the fiery phoenix.

As one man and one phoenix rushed out, the violent spiritual energy directly stirred up storms in the air.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Mu Feng quickly approach, Liu Qingtian's eyes turned cold. He let out a low shout, and silver light surged out from his body. A huge silver beast then appeared.

The beast resembled a giant ape, but its entire body was covered in silver scales. On the scales, there seemed to be lightning flashing. When it roared, it was accompanied by thunder.

"This is... the Lightning Scaled Beast?" Mu Chen, looking at the silver beast behind Liu Qingtian, was slightly surprised. This was a powerful spiritual beast ranked 133rd on the Earth List of the Ten Thousand Beast Record. Although it had not reached the Heaven Rank, it was an extremely top-tier existence among high-level spiritual beasts.

"Boom!"

The Lightning Scaled Beast stomped the ground and shot out like lightning, carrying Liu Qingtian and blocking Mu Feng.

"Haha, Liu Qingtian, you finally couldn't resist attacking? Let me see who has improved more over the past year!" Seeing this, Mu Feng was not afraid. He laughed loudly, and the fiery phoenix under his feet let out a low, sharp cry. Violent red spiritual energy roared out, heading straight for Liu Qingtian.

Bang!

The two massive figures collided fiercely in the air, and the violent spiritual energy impact shattered many of the white bones below.

With the domain lords of the Mu and Liu domains already engaging in battle, the two sides naturally no longer held back. Their eyes were filled with ferocity as they roared and charged at each other.

"Zhou Ye, leave him to me!"

Liu Zong, the second lord of the Liu domain, glared at Zhou Ye, who was leading the Mu domain's forces. He let out a cold shout, and green light spread out. Behind him, a somewhat illusory giant beast formed.

It was a giant scorpion, entirely green, emitting a faint fragrance, clearly indicating it was highly venomous.

"Green Poison Demon Scorpion, ranked 204th on the Earth List of the Ten Thousand Beast Record." Mu Chen, looking at the green scorpion, recognized it.

Thud!

The ground suddenly trembled violently, and Zhou Ye let out a cold snort. The mountain-like spirit rhinoceros moved with a ground-shaking step, like a moving small mountain, charging fiercely at Liu Zong.

"Boom!"

The two sides finally engaged in a full-scale battle. The sounds of combat broke the long-standing peace, and violent spiritual energy continuously erupted, filling the air with a sense of killing intent.

Mu Chen, protected by Duan Wei and others, also clashed with the Liu domain's forces. However, he quickly rushed past and did not stop at all, his figure darting like an arrow toward the top of the black volcano.

"Mu Bai, stop him!"

Liu Ming, who was fighting Duan Wei, immediately shouted.

Hearing this, Liu Mu Bai nodded and darted out, quickly chasing after Mu Chen.

Mu Chen, hearing the wind rushing from behind, glanced sideways, his brows furrowed. His spiritual energy rapidly circulated in his body, then poured into his legs, increasing his speed.

"Want to run?!" Liu Mu Bai, seeing this, also let out a cold snort, speeding up and closely pursuing.

The two, one in front and one behind, quickly leaped over the black basin and approached the black volcano. They climbed up the steep mountain wall like agile monkeys.

"Whoosh!"

While rapidly climbing, Mu Chen suddenly felt a fierce wind coming from behind. He immediately lunged forward, pressing his palms on the ground, and his body flipped into the air.

Clang!

A sharp dagger fiercely stabbed into the spot where Mu Chen had just stood, piercing through the hard volcanic rock.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Liu Mu Bai gripped his palms and several more daggers shot out. This time, he aimed directly at Mu Chen's front, clearly trying to force him back.

Mu Chen, sensing the rapid wind, gripped his palms, and several spirit seals quickly appeared. He shot them out, and they quickly merged into the air.

Swoosh, swoosh!

Light rays appeared, the air distorted, and spirit energy ropes shot out, blocking all the daggers.

While setting up a small spirit array to resist the attack, Mu Chen did not let Liu Mu Bai off easily. He leaped over a pile of sharp volcanic rocks, planted one foot on the ground, and kicked the other like a whirlwind. The sharp volcanic rocks immediately shot out in all directions toward Liu Mu Bai.

Bang, bang!

Liu Mu Bai, seeing this, clenched his fists and punched out, red spiritual energy mixed with violent wind roaring out, shattering all the incoming volcanic rocks.

Although he blocked the attack, Liu Mu Bai's speed was slowed down. Seeing Mu Chen, who took advantage of this gap and quickly darted out like an agile monkey, he gritted his teeth and hurriedly chased after him.

The two continued to use various means to attack and obstruct each other, utilizing everything they could. The scene looked quite lively, but only the two of them could feel the danger. Neither of them held back in their attacks.

Swish!

After a few minutes of chasing and running, Mu Chen was the first to reach the top of the black volcano. At the top was a sunken volcanic crater, but it was quite dark, making it hard to see what was inside.

"Boom!"

As Mu Chen's gaze swept over the volcanic crater, a fierce wind from behind hit him. He hesitated slightly, then lightly touched his toes and directly dropped into the volcanic crater.

Liu Mu Bai quickly followed. Seeing Mu Chen enter the somewhat dark volcanic crater, he hesitated for a moment but then gritted his teeth and followed closely.

The two quickly slid into the volcanic crater, lightly touching their toes, and landed nimbly at the bottom of the crater.

Inside the volcanic crater, it was dim, and black volcanic rocks were everywhere, making it pitch black.

Mu Chen's gaze quickly scanned the area, but to his surprise, he did not see any trace of the Nine Nether Sparrow. There were only many black boulders formed by volcanic eruptions.

Liu Mu Bai, who had also landed in the crater, did not immediately attack Mu Chen. He was also scanning the area, clearly looking for the Nine Nether Sparrow.

Both of them scanned the area, their eyes filled with confusion.

Mu Chen frowned, carefully moving his steps, slowly walking at the bottom of the crater, his gaze constantly searching.

Liu Mu Bai glanced at Mu Chen and also stepped back a bit, clearly having the same idea as Mu Chen.

The bottom of the crater was not too spacious, and the two quickly walked around, but still found nothing. This made their confusion even stronger.

Could the information on the copper plate be false?

Mu Chen pursed his lips, looked around, and found himself in the center of the crater. Around him were some large black boulders formed by volcanic eruptions.

He looked at these large boulders but saw nothing special. He sighed in frustration, just about to turn around, when his steps suddenly stopped. He gripped his hand, and the ancient copper plate appeared in his palm. At this moment, the copper plate was emitting a faint warmth.

"Could this copper plate... sense the location of the Nine Nether Sparrow?"

Mu Chen's heart stirred. He then glanced at Liu Mu Bai, who was still searching in another area, and quietly moved toward the large boulders.

He touched each of the large boulders one by one. After a moment, his steps stopped, and his eyes brightened as he looked at a black boulder in front of him. Standing here, the copper plate in his hand became especially hot.
