An extremely fast meteorite passed in the dark void. However, the high speed did not produce any noise. The whole space had an inanimate and deathly still atmosphere.
Mu Chen and the others quietly sat cross-legged on the meteorite.
The meteorite they were sitting on was not the one they took when they had just arrived. They had changed “rides” three times as they hurried on their journey. However, Mu Chen had some regret since they had not found the Blood Spirit Soil among the three meteorites. Obviously, Mo Feng was correct. It was solely due to Mo Ling’s luck that she had found one.
Nine Nether opened her eyes. Looking at the darkness at the distance she said, “From my expectation, we’re going to approach the Land of the Divine Beasts in about half of a day.”
Mu Chen nodded but kept staring into the distance, glaring at any meteorite that might appear in their surroundings.
Nine Nether could not help but laugh when she saw his actions. “The amount of meteorites will increase gradually as we approach the Land of the Divine Beasts. We may have some reward at that time.”
Mu Chen touched his nose resentfully when he heard this and kept his thoughts to himself.
There were four people riding on the meteorite, passing through the emptiness with high speed. In the remaining journey, they were not going to change any meteorite rides, since the meteorite under their feet was their last ride…
Time was passing quickly in this dark void. After a while, Mu Chen suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and looked to his left.
There seemed to be a fluctuation in the darkness. Soon after, he saw a few meteorites passing through consecutively and rolling into the distance.
Mu Chen’s eyes were sparkling when he saw the meteorites. He gazed at the meteorites but looked away in disappointment after a few moments.
It was because he could not sense any aura of the vital energy and blood in the meteorites. Obviously, there was no presence of Blood Spirit Soil in the meteorites. Although it brought some disappointment, it was not enough to dispel Mu Chen’s expectations. This was because the appearance of these meteorites meant they were approaching the Land of the Divine Beasts, and there would be more and more meteorites appearing at that time.
Mu Chen’s expectation was not wrong. All of the sudden, the silent darkness became lively. Meteorites poured in from all directions and finally swept over in front of them.
At this moment, the four of them could not control themselves anymore. They started to condense spiritual energy in their eyes, not sparing any effort to sense the vital energy and blood contained in the meteorites.
Under the non-stop probing, Mu Chen finally found something for the first time.
It was a gray-black meteorite about a hundred feet in size. Its volume was not too huge, but this did not prevent Mu Chen’s sharp senses from detecting a weak blood ray secretly emitted from the meteorite. It was the smell of the Blood Spirit Soil.
Mu Chen took action right away. He punched out a fist from a distance, and a majestic light of spiritual energy swept out. He broke the 100-foot meteorite with one punch. At the same time that the crushed stone sputtered, a blood ray escaped from it.
Mu Chen slightly curved his palm, and a strong suction force surged out. Suddenly, the blood ray turned backwards and fell directly into Mu Chen’s hand.
He examined his palm. There was a lump of bloody soil as big as a baby’s fist within the fading blood ray. An intense bloody smell emanated from within the lump.
That was exactly the Blood Spirit Soil that Mu Chen was eager to get.
Upon receiving the first Blood Spirit Soil, Mu Chen could not help but have an excited grin on his face. However, he had no time for consuming it to refine his power since there were more meteorites rolling through. Because of the meteorites’ high speed, the group had to use all their effort to sense the presence of Blood Spirit Soil in the meteorites.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh!
The meteorites passed through at high speed, and some of the meteorites were broken by Nine Nether and the others. Although there was not anything in the meteorites most of the time, their effort was not a waste. After the wave of meteorites was crushed, Mu Chen and others had around eight pieces of irregularly-sized Blood Spirit Soil in the end.
“Not bad.”
Nine Nether was quite satisfied with their final loot. Their probability of finding the Blood Spirit Soil was not bad. Generally, it was a common situation to not find any Blood Spirit Soil in over a dozen meteorites.
Mo Feng nodded and distributed the Blood Spirit Soil pieces according to their size, so that the four of them shared it equally.
Grabbing two of the Blood Spirit Soil pieces in his hand, Mu Chen turned them into five Blood Spirit pills with a rub of his fingers before consuming all of them in one gulp.
A boiling hot current emerged in his body again. At that moment, Mu Chen was able to listen to the greedy thirst from his flesh and blood. The burning sensation was just like lava, washing out the blood, the flesh, and the bones in his body…
The strong vital energy and blood contained in the Blood Spirit Soil was indeed the best tonic for the physical body.
The reddish light of vital energy and blood blushed on Mu Chen’s face. It took some time before it gradually disappeared. Mu Chen opened his slightly closed eyes, and a light swept past his pupils. Slowly clenching his fists, he could feel there was a strong energy surging within the flesh and blood of his limbs and bones.
It was the second time he had experienced the power of Blood Spirit Soil, but Mu Chen could not resist being amazed. His expression suddenly changed when he looked up and wanted to say something. Looking into the distance, he stared at the dark void.
It was as though a weak light had appeared in the darkness. It passed through the void and reflected in Mu Chen’s eyes.
“We’re approaching the Land of the Divine Beasts,” Nine Nether said joyfully when she saw the changes.
Mu Chen sighed in relief. The silence was too deadly in this dark void. Thus, they were depressed for every second throughout the journey, even though they were determined and strong people.
Mo Feng looked upwards into the distance and said, “A meteorite belt surrounds the Land of the Divine Beasts. It contains innumerable meteorites, and this will be the best opportunity to get the Blood Spirit Soil…”
Meteorite belt?
Mu Chen’s heart stopped for a moment when he heard that. He could not help licking his lips as the expectations in the bottom of his heart were going to explode…
Swoosh!
While Mu Chen was immersed in expectancy, the meteorite under their feet was sweeping them over the void. After about half an hour, Mu Chen sensed the darkness slowly fading, and there was light glowing in the distance. Surrounding the light was the endless and enormous meteorite belt. It appeared in front of Mu Chen with an overwhelming presence.
The meteorite belt seemed to be spinning around the Land of the Divine Beasts at high speed, but each meteorite was much larger than those they had seen before.
Boom!
The meteorite that Mu Chen and the others were riding forcefully dashed directly towards the endless meteorite belt and then moved towards the direction of the Land of the Divine Beasts.
Mu Chen’s eyes reddened instantly when they were in the meteorite belt. It was because he could sense the blood rays of the Blood Spirit Soil inside at least five meteorites near him within a short duration.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Mu Chen suddenly attacked aggressively. Lights of spiritual energy were emitted violently like a dragon heavily attacking the meteorites. In that instant, crushed stones were sputtering all over the space with a giant rumbling sound.
A few of the blood rays were emitted while the crushed stones were sputtering…
Mu Chen waved his palm and attracted those blood rays directly. He had good self-control, but he could not help grinning when he looked at the Blood Spirit Soil in his palm.
It seemed like he could feel he was nearer to the second level of the Dragon-Phoenix Body.
Bang! Bang!
While Mu Chen was taking action, Nine Nether, Mo Feng, and Mo Ling were also grabbing their chance in the meteorite belt, giving it everything they had. They also obtained a good amount of rewards from those crushed meteorites.
A slight smile appeared on Mo Feng’s face while receiving such rewards, even though his expression was usually always cool.
Boom!
Mu Chen attacked again. A bolt of spiritual energy hit a meteorite, making it emit a blood ray. After capturing it, Mu Chen put it away temporarily without looking it.
Mu Chen obtained Blood Spirit Soil again. He did not feel tired at all. He wanted to attack again, but his expression was suddenly stunned. He raised his head and looked at the right side of the cloud of meteorites.
His eyes narrowed unconsciously as he took in the view.
At the same time, Nine Nether and the others also realized something and looked towards that direction. Their expressions also changed unintentionally. Soon after, excitement emerged in their eyes.
It was because what appeared in their view was a meteorite about tens of thousands of feet in size. The meteorite was so huge that it was downright jumbo when compared to the other meteorites.
Of course, it would not be enough to make them overwhelmed if the meteorite was only huge in size. Its surface was also radiating concentrated blood rays, coloring the whole meteorite scarlet.
An extremely strong smell of vital energy and blood emanated from the meteorite. Mu Chen and the others could feel that their flesh and blood seemed to be boiling, even though they were far away from the meteorite.
“What a huge meteorite… what a strong vital energy and blood essence…”
Looking at the jumbo meteorite, Mu Chen breathed heavily. He was sure that the Blood Spirit Soil inside this meteorite would be stronger than the total Blood Spirit Soil they had obtained so far.
“The Blood Spirit Soil inside may have turned into the Blood Spirit Soil essence…” Nine Nether’s beautiful eyes were glowing. It was very rare to see Blood Spirit Soil with such heavy vital energy and blood, even in the Land of the Divine Beasts.
“Get ready! We must get it!” Nine Nether said with determination.
At the other side, Mu Chen, Mo Feng, and Mo Ling nodded heavily. They would never let this astonishing Blood Spirit Soil escaped from their gasp.
However, as they saw the jumbo meteorite approaching, and they were getting ready to attack, an abnormal fluctuation suddenly emanated from the meteorite belt.
“Hey, I didn’t expect we would meet the Nine Netherbird Clan here… but if you’re smart, you’d better not try to touch the Blood Spirit Soil inside this meteorite.”
When they heard the voice on a meteorite nearby, a few shadows surrounded by lightning appeared as if they were phantoms. Those people fixed their sights on Nine Nether and the others with a half smile on their faces.
When Nine Nether and Mo Feng set their gazes in their direction, their eyes suddenly filled with fear.
“Lightning Crow Clan?”
