Boom!
The world fell silent, save for the echoing thunder.
A black lightning bolt, almost the size of the Nine Netherbird, resembled a furious black dragon, piercing heaven and earth.
It slammed heavily into the Nine Netherbird's body, which had charged forward.
Black lightning cascaded across the sky.
The indescribable roar of thunder spread far and wide, nearly encompassing the entire Black冥 Abyss.
The remaining spirit beasts within the Black冥 Abyss emitted terrified howls, trembling as they lay prostrate on the ground, daring not to move a muscle.
Almost everyone looked at the terrifying power in the sky with looks of shock.
If that power were to fall on them, they likely wouldn't even have a speck of dust remaining.
However, Mu Yuan wasn't among those people.
He was at the center of this storm, and he might even become a miserable victim reduced to nothing in the next second.
He didn't have time to pay attention to any of that; all his focus was on the system.
The Divine Elephant Suppressing Hell Technique, spirit veins... and so on.
Mu Yuan had already pushed his spiritual power to its limit, his thumb pressed against the sword hilt.
He was just waiting for the system's prompt.
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"..."
Each second felt like the footsteps of the grim reaper.
"Three"
"Two"
"One"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. Reward received: A mysterious bone fragment!"
The instant the system prompted that the check-in was successful, Mu Yuan immediately used the Draw Sword Technique to teleport.
When his figure reappeared, he was already far from the danger zone. Reduce Earth to an Inch was not much better than this.
"Brother Yuan, are you alright?"
Mu Chen asked quickly.
"You brat, you scared your old man to death."
Mu Feng was also a little scared.
"I'm fine!"
Mu Yuan exhaled deeply.
It was really like a race with death just now.
Wait a minute.
Mu Yuan suddenly thought of the system's reward.
It seemed to be a piece of mysterious bone?!
But where was the reward?
"Chirp!"
Suddenly, a shrill cry echoed, filled with some unwillingness and despair.
Mu Yuan looked up.
The Nine Netherbird's massive body was engulfed in flames, its mysterious black feathers burning intensely.
Black flames surged, causing the temperature of the entire area to spike.
"Damn it! The Nine Netherbird has gone mad, it's going to self-destruct!"
Mu Feng's expression changed dramatically. He grabbed Mu Yuan and Mu Chen with both hands and shot out of the black basin like an arrow.
Zhou Ye, Duan Wei, and the others from the Liu Domain also realized what was happening.
Just how terrifying would the Nine Netherbird's self-destruction be?
Both groups frantically fled.
The black flames on the Nine Netherbird in the sky had reached their peak, and then, with a deafening BOOM, it exploded.
Black flames swept out madly.
The entire world seemed like a steamer at this moment, and the scorching temperature caused the forest below to ignite directly.
Bang!
Mu Feng and the others were still blown away by the spreading shockwave.
At the same time, with the Nine Netherbird's self-explosion, streaks of black flames, like black meteorites streaking across the sky, brought long fiery tails and descended like a torrential downpour.
It was like the end of the world.
One of the black flames happened to smash toward Mu Yuan and the others.
"Not good!"
Mu Feng and Zhou Ye roared, their powerful spiritual energy erupting from their bodies and forming a thick spiritual light barrier, shielding everyone behind them.
Unfortunately, even that couldn't stop the incoming black flames.
The two of them were sent sliding backward across the ground for over a hundred meters before they could, looking utterly disheveled, regain their balance.
Bang!
Mu Yuan, just as disheveled as Mu Chen, was also sent flying backward, finally crashing heavily onto a giant boulder.
Immediately, both of them felt a sweetness in their throats and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, their bones seeming to have shattered.
They were almost annihilated?
Mu Yuan wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave a bitter smile.
Suddenly, a unique ray of light flashed, cutting through the black flames and streaking towards Mu Yuan from the distant horizon!
However, strangely, it seemed that only Mu Yuan could see it.
Could this be a system reward?
Mu Yuan immediately widened his eyes, staring directly at the meteor as it hurtled towards him.
"Damn…won't this just smash me to death? Did I just escape a tiger's den only to fall into a wolf's lair? Am I, Mu Yuan, going to be the first person to be killed by a system reward?"
However, Mu Yuan was overthinking it.
The ray of light directly entered his body, causing patterns of light to bloom across his chest, beautiful and mesmerizing.
Mu Yuan immediately closed his eyes, circulating the Divine Elephant Suppressing Hell Technique to observe his internal state.
He saw an extra piece of bone in his Qi Sea.
However, this piece of bone looked ordinary, without any aura, and seemed to have traces of wind and sand on it, indicating it had gone through many years.
"System, you son of a bitch!"
Mu Yuan finally couldn't help but curse out loud, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood again.
He had risked his life and completed the check-in task, and in the end, he was rewarded with an ordinary piece of bone?
"Mu Yuan, Mu Chen, get out of the way!"
At this moment, Mu Feng's urgent voice came to Mu Yuan's ears.
Mu Yuan looked up and saw that Mu Feng's face was contorted, and his body instantly charged towards him.
Only then did he turn his head sharply, and saw a small black flame rapidly enlarging in his pupils.
That's right, that flame should contain the Nine Netherbird's Essence Spirit.
"Little Mu, Brother Yuan is really sorry to you. The opportunity with the Nine Netherbird depends entirely on luck. It's heading towards us now, and there's nothing I can do."
Mu Yuan's lips curled slightly.
Why even bother hiding?
He almost wanted to clap his hands in welcome.
Immediately, he flashed forward, shielding Mu Chen behind him, and allowed the black flame to surge into his body.
"Brother Yuan!"
Mu Chen didn't even react, seeing Mu Yuan sacrifice himself for him, and was once again moved to the extreme.
Mu Yuan examined his body.
He saw a black flame drifting within his body, and within that flame, he could vaguely see an elegant black shadow with outstretched wings.
"Sure enough, it's the Nine Netherbird!"
Mu Yuan was overjoyed, but suddenly an extremely ferocious fluctuation spread from the black flame, heading straight for his mind, as if to devour his consciousness!
Essence Spirit Devouring the Master?!
Damn it, he almost forgot about this!
The current Nine Netherbird was untamed and not a good sort.
Mu Yuan's face was ashen.
Essence Spirit Devouring the Master was a rather common occurrence. Some of the strong individuals who stepped into the Spirit God Realm were often overambitious, and they liked to refine the Essence Spirits of powerful spirit beasts.
But they didn't know that this was an extremely dangerous thing. Refining the Essence Spirit of a spirit beast meant erasing all the spirit beast's previous intelligence. This method would inevitably be met with the spirit beast's desperate resistance.
Some spirit beasts with strong ferocity would take the opportunity to counterattack and devour their master. And once devoured, there was a slim chance of survival.
