Chapter 63

The black sound waves spread out from the black basin like gentle ripples. Wherever the sound waves passed, all the spirit beasts instantly turned into piles of white bones, with not a trace of blood remaining on the bones.

Mu Chen and the others stared at the scene before them with wide eyes, their hearts trembling. This scene was truly too bizarre.

Whoosh, whoosh.

As the spirit beasts turned into bones, a powerful light surged from their bodies, eventually forming ten thousand beams of light that whistled through the sky, rushing towards the mysterious black egg hovering above the volcano.

Buzz.

In the face of these light beams containing powerful spirit energy, the mysterious black egg also emitted a black light, swallowing all the light beams like a bottomless pit.

The light beams continuously rose from the bodies of the spirit beasts, their dazzling appearance coming at the cost of all their vitality.

What was even more chilling was that these spirit beasts watched the terrifying scene unfold before their eyes without any panic. Instead, their bloodshot eyes showed a hint of madness, as if this act of moths flying into a flame brought them a great sense of honor.

This strange contrast made Mu Chen's heart chill, and he glanced at the mysterious black egg in the sky, which was continuously absorbing the light beams. These methods far exceeded the wisdom of the spirit beasts he had seen before, and were even more cunning and ruthless than humans.

"That black egg is probably the transformation of the Nine Netherbird..." Mu Feng's expression was solemn as he glanced warily at the black egg in the sky, which was absorbing the light beams.

"The spirit beasts in the Black Nether Basin seem to be providing a large amount of spirit energy to the Nine Netherbird..." Mu Chen said softly.

Mu Feng nodded and said, "And this kind of scene has probably happened more than once. Over the years, countless spirit beasts in the Black Nether Basin have turned into bones, providing all their spirit energy to the Nine Netherbird."

"The spirit beasts in the Black Nether Basin..." Mu Feng's expression was somewhat strange, "It's as if they are being raised by the Nine Netherbird, allowed to grow until they are fat, and then slaughtered to extract their spirit energy."

Duan Wei and the others shuddered when they heard this. If humans did this, they wouldn't be too surprised, but all this planning was done by a spirit beast, though it was a very powerful one.

"Moreover... perhaps the copper plates we obtained were also intentionally left by it. It uses these to lure greedy humans, and then takes away the spirit energy from our bodies." Mu Feng laughed bitterly, "This time, we might not have been important to it, otherwise, I feel our fate wouldn't be any better than those spirit beasts."

Zhou Ye's face also turned pale. If all this was planned by the Nine Netherbird, it was truly terrifying...

Mu Chen also sighed. He knew that what his father said was mostly true. Over the years, many humans must have been lured here by greed and never managed to leave, just like the skeleton he encountered in the Black Nether Basin, which had managed to escape but ultimately died from severe injuries.

"What do we do now?" Duan Wei and the others wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. This was the first time they had encountered such a terrifying spirit beast, and the terror came not only from its strength but also from its cunning and ruthlessness, which surpassed that of humans.

"Retreat!"

Mu Feng's voice showed no hesitation: "Forget about the Nine Netherbird. No one in the Northern Spirit Realm can subdue such an existence. Take advantage of the fact that its attention is on those spirit beasts and retreat immediately!"

"Yes!"

Duan Wei and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. This bizarre situation offered no hope, and it was wise to leave as soon as possible.

Mu Feng clearly decided not to covet the Nine Netherbird anymore. After giving the order, he waved his hand, and a group of people quietly moved up the mountain rocks, carefully heading towards the outside of the black basin.

"Brother, the people from the Mu Domain are retreating!" The movement on their side was also noticed by the Liu Domain, and Liu Ming hurriedly said.

"Leave them alone!" Liu Qingtian said coldly, "This situation is wrong. It's better for them to leave so we don't have to be on guard against them."

"What about us..." Liu Ming hesitated. He was also disturbed by the scene before him. The mysterious black egg was too strange, and his intuition told him that it was wise to leave as soon as possible.

"Wait a bit longer!"

A hint of struggle flashed in Liu Qingtian's eyes, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, the allure of the Nine Netherbird was too great. Even if it was just a tiny chance, if he could obtain it, he would become the master of the Northern Spirit Realm!

Liu Ming and Liu Zong exchanged glances and nodded. They had prepared for this plan for so long, and it would be a bit hard to leave without achieving anything.

As the Mu Domain's people quietly retreated and the Liu Domain's people remained determined, the thousands of spirit beasts in the black basin all turned into piles of white bones under the spread of the black sound waves.

Whistle.

In the sky, countless beams of light whistled, finally being absorbed into the mysterious black egg hovering in the air. When the last beam of light disappeared, the world seemed to become abnormally quiet.

Crack.

In the silence, a faint cracking sound suddenly rang out. Although the sound was not loud, it made the Liu Domain's people and the retreating Mu Domain's people feel as if they had been struck by lightning. Their eyes widened in shock as they looked at the mysterious black egg, and they saw that fine cracks had appeared on its surface.

As the cracks appeared, black flames surged out, enveloping the mysterious black egg. The strange black flames rose, and the spirit energy in the world seemed to boil.

"That is..." Cold sweat slowly trickled down Mu Feng's forehead, and his voice became hoarse, "The Nine Netherbird seems to be coming out."

Squawk!

Just as he finished speaking, a clear cry that echoed through the heavens suddenly spread from the black egg. The black flames surged like a storm, filling the sky.

The cracks on the black egg became more numerous, and finally, with a crisp sound, it burst open.

The black flames became even more violent, and Mu Chen and the others were shocked to see a black wing that seemed to cover a mountain extend from the surging black flames.

The black flames burned fiercely in the sky, and through the black flames, Mu Chen and the others could vaguely see a huge shadow elegantly stretching its massive body in the surging flames, like a phoenix rising from the inferno.

A terrifying spirit energy pressure also spread out, making the spirit energy in the world boil.

"Is that the Nine Netherbird?"

Mu Chen was stunned as he watched the massive creature elegantly stretching its body in the surging black flames. Although he couldn't see its form clearly, the vague outline was already breathtaking.

"This kind of fluctuation..."

Mu Feng also stared intently at the vague, massive form, then swallowed hard. This level of spirit energy pressure was probably even beyond the strength of some experts who had entered the Three Heavens Realm!

They had even dared to think of subduing such an existence, which was truly absurd.

"Quick, let's go!"

Mu Feng took a deep breath, completely suppressing his greed, and shouted, preparing to retreat without hesitation.

Rumble!

However, just as Mu Feng was urging everyone to retreat, a thunderous sound suddenly echoed in the sky. They looked up and were stunned. Above the surging black flames, black thunderclouds suddenly gathered, and within the black clouds, lightning like black dragons quietly surged.

A destructive force emanated from the black thunderclouds.

"Is this... the Black Divine Thunder Cloud?"

Mu Feng's pupils instantly constricted, and a suppressed voice of shock involuntarily escaped his lips.

"Black Divine Thunder Cloud?" Mu Chen was taken aback.

Mu Feng took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and muttered, "This Nine Netherbird... still isn't giving up. It's trying to evolve!"
