Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mei Wuyan looked at Nether Spirit in surprise. Why did these words sound so familiar?
Boom!
As soon as she finished speaking, the stone door rumbled as if confirming
Nether Spirit’s words. A dazzling light pierced through the crack in the stone.
This light carried a faint blue color as it shone from behind the stone door.
“My lord, this is the secret passage of the stars—the tomb passage to Lord Star.”
“This light-blue glow is Astral Power, but it’s quite faint. The true Astral Power lies within the tomb.”
Nether Spirit reached out her slender hand and hooked it slightly. A light-blue glow gathered in her hand, forming a ball. Then, she clenched her hand, and the Astral Power instantly fused into Nether Spirit’s body.
“Unfortunately, this Astral Power is not very useful to me.”
Sensing the Astral Power, Nether Spirit’s red eyes flashed with pity.
As the Nether River Spirit, her source of power came from the Nether River. It was also a unique dark power.
As for Astral Power, its main purpose was to cleanse the body and make it stronger.
“I’ll try it!”
Mei Wuyan’s eyes flickered. Then, he guided a strand of Astral Power and tried to absorb it into his body.
“It seems to be effective, but the Astral Power it contains is a little small.”
Mei Wuyan closed his eyes and felt the changes brought to him by the trace of Astral Power.
His body could be said to be made of golden sand. The golden sand was his body, and the wisp of Astral Power just now had refined a grain of golden sand.
In addition, there was another trace of Astral Power on the golden sand.
Moreover, the two of them were very balanced and nothing else happened.
“If I have a large amount of Astral Power to temper my body, I can easily advance to the Immortal realm!”
Mei Wuyan’s eyes lit up slightly. Due to the Nether River, the Golden Sand Blessed Land in his body was constantly transforming. Once the transformation was successful, he could also enter the Immortal realm. However, this Astral Power allowed him to see an even higher future.
“My lord, the Astral Power here is very thin. It’s all overflowing from Lord Star’s tomb. The real Astral Power is ahead.”
Nether Spirit saw the expression on Mei Wuyan’s face and knew that Astral Power was very beneficial to him.
“Okay.”
Mei Wuyan nodded. Then, the two of them walked into the secret passage.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
On the Nether Battlefield.
In a city of the Nether race, a huge Golden Crow hovered above the city.
Wisps of fire descended upon the city like rain.
Miserable wails and screams sounded in the city as if they were suffering the most painful punishment in the world.
“Golden Crow Guards!”
“Yes!”
Xu Chu’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he shouted behind him.
“Golden Sun Brahma!”
Golden light erupted, emanating from the Golden Crow above the city, resembling a blazing sun. Extreme Yang energy surged forth as if seeking to boil the sea. Even the surrounding air carried a scorching aura.
“Humans! Die!”
A cry of surprise sounded from the city. Then, a sinister power rose from the city.
This evil power instantly transformed into a python that tried to devour the Golden Crow that was emitting golden light in the sky.
“Hmph!”
Xu Chu could not help but snort coldly when he saw the python condensed from Yin qi.
The Golden Crow formation was led by him. He was not only the core of the formation but also the head of the Golden Crow.
Golden flames burned on his body as if he was wearing a layer of fire armor. His body twisted slightly, and the weapon in his hand was covered in golden flames.
At that moment, Xu Chu was like a flaming war god.
“Slash!”
With a resounding shout, the saber sliced through the air. The Golden Crow opened its mouth, and a ball of flames condensed into a saber beam that slashed at the python.
Swoosh!
The flaming saber beam was extremely fast.
In an instant, the flames clung to the python’s bones like a potent poison. Rather than quickly dissipating upon contact, they continued to burn fiercely, searing through its body.
It was as if he would not stop until the python was burned to ashes.
“Damn it!”
An exasperated voice sounded from the city. A dark-skinned Nether race being with a terrifying smile on his face stared intently at Xu Chu in the sky.
The Yin python was condensed by him from a portion of the Nether race. However, the outcome was obvious. It was killed by Xu Chu with a single slash.
“What other methods do you have?”
Xu Chu stood in the air. Behind him was the huge Golden Crow Phantom condensed by the Golden Crow Guards.
Or rather, he was standing on the head of the Golden Crow.
“Kill them! The Nether race will never surrender!”
The Nether race was looking at Xu Chu sinisterly with a dark glint in his eyes as though he wanted to remember Xu Chu’s appearance.
As soon as he yelled, the Nether race beings who were still alive in the city flew into the sky.
Like a moth to a flame, they charged fearlessly at the huge Golden Crow.
“I respect you, Nether race!”
Xu Chu said softly when he saw the actions of the Nether race. Then, his aura changed and golden flames that were like the sun burned again.
“Golden Crow Guards! Attack!”
Pointing with the tip of the saber, Xu Chu rushed toward the charging Nether race with the gigantic golden crow condensed by the Golden Crow Guards.
The Golden Crow formation was activated, and the condensed Golden Crow projection doubled the strength of the Golden Crow Guards.
The Golden Crow Guards in the Golden Crow projection would be protected. No matter how the Nether race’s attacks landed on the formation, they would be repelled.
In the blink of an eye, all the Nether race beings were destroyed by the Golden Crow Guards, leaving only a city that had gone through a war.
“Clean up the battlefield!”
After destroying the Nether race in the city, Xu Chu released the Golden Crow formation and instructed some Golden Crow Guards to start cleaning up the battlefield.
Whether it was the corpses of the Nether race or their remains, they all bore the grim aftermath of war.
As for the resources in the city, they were plundered by the Golden Crow Guards.
“General, this is the eighth Nether race’s city, right?!”
A Golden Crow Guards came in front of Xu Chu and asked with a smile.
After all, every time they destroyed a city, they would obtain a lot of battle merits, and battle merits could be exchanged for many good stuff.
“That’s right. It’s the eighth.”
Xu Chu nodded with a solemn expression.
The Nether race in the city ahead differed from those they had encountered initially. Furthermore, they displayed the ability to employ military formations and other strategic tactics. If not for the Golden Crow Guards being the natural adversaries of the Nether race, they might have been evenly matched.
This also gave Xu Chu a premonition that the following battle would not be as unstoppable as before. The Golden Crow Guards would suffer some losses.
However, who could guarantee that no one would be injured or even die in battle?
“Pass down the order. After cleaning up the battlefield, rest and recuperate.
The next battle won’t be easy. The Nether race has acted.”
Xu Chu turned around and instructed the Golden Crow Guards beside him.
“Yes, General!”
Upon hearing this, the Golden Crow Guards replied with a serious expression. Then, they left to issue Xu Chu’s orders.
On the other side, Lin Zifeng was the same. The Nether race he encountered was becoming more tenacious. Although he could gain the upper hand with the power of extreme Yang, he could sense the changes in the Nether race.
However, following the dynasty’s order, a large number of Mystic Yang soldiers headed straight for the Nether Battlefield under Li Xiang’s lead. Xu Ding led the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry and began to shuttle through the Nether Battlefield.
Even the Spiritual Energy Cannon, Flame Summit, and other strategic resources were brought to the battlefield.
It could be said that the Green Lotus Dynasty was leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to swiftly defeat the Nether race.
At this moment, the Nether race felt uneasy due to the invasion by humans.
After all, they were inherently imbued with powers that restricted them, allowing them to unleash only 80% of their original strength or even less.
More importantly, it was not only the humans. There was also a strange creature in the Nether race’s territory. Not only did it devour the spirit bodies of the Nether race but it also killed all the surrounding creatures.
The Zombie race and the other races that had submitted to them raised their flags and attacked the Nether race..
