Since ancient times, crows were not a good sign. They represented death, plague, and so on.
And now, these crows were heading toward the blood-colored full moon in the sky, giving Mei Wuyan a strange sense of beauty.
Suddenly, a red light shot out from the moon and landed on the leader of the crows.
In the next second.
The crow was enveloped in red light, and a dark power slowly extended from it.
Furthermore, Mei Wuyan could see that the crow’s body seemed to be extended.
“This is… evolution?”
A thought surfaced in Mei Wuyan’s mind, but it was quickly attracted by the crow’s changing figure.
A human figure walked out of the red light.
The black feathers appeared to transform into a black dress that draped over her body. She ascended into the air and stood amidst the sky.
The crow underwent a metamorphosis, transforming into a human woman.
However, at this moment, her eyes were closed as if she had yet to wake up.
“This…’
Upon seeing this change, Mei Wuyan had a strange feeling.
The crow turned into a woman. Furthermore, Mei Wuyan knew very well that this woman was the crow that had brought him to the black river.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, in the black river, the water swept toward the sky and slowly supported the woman who transformed from a crow.
At some point, the woman opened her eyes.
They were as beautiful as a blood-colored gem, and there was a faint power that tugged at one’s heartstrings.
“Nether River Spirit greets the Lord of Darkness!” A melodious voice emanated from the woman’s lips.
“Nether River Spirit?”
“Lord of Darkness?”
At this moment, Mei Wuyan was dumbfounded. What was going on?
However, he did not feel any malice. On the contrary, he felt a sense of familiarity with this woman.
Guided by the black river, the woman descended gracefully beside Mei Wuyan. She stood a head shorter than him, her exquisite face bearing a respectful expression.
“My lord, do you have the Abyssal Well?”
The Nether River Spirit said to Mei Wuyan with a respectful expression.
“Abyssal Well?”
Upon hearing this, Mei Wuyan was stunned. Then, he remembered that the Golden Sand Blessed Land in his body had fused with the Abyssal Well. He could not help but nod slightly.
“The person who owns the Abyssal Well is the Lord of Darkness!”
“Uh, do you have a name?”
“Also, how are you so sure that I have the Abyssal Well?”
Mei Wuyan had a puzzled look on his face. After all, this was the Star Tomb. Why was it related to the Abyssal Well?
“My lord, you can call me Nether Spirit. Please extend your hand.”
Nether Spirit’s eyes were like crescent moons with scarlet gem-like eyes. It had to be said that they were strangely attractive.
When Mei Wuwen heard Nether Spirit’s words, he nodded slightly and extended his right hand.
He could sense the familiar sensation emanating from the Nether Spirit, and the alluring scent that captivated him originated from it.
Seeing Mei Wuyan extend his right hand, Nether Spirit smiled. Then, she also extended her palm and held Mei Wuyan’s hand tightly.
In an instant.
Mei Wuyan felt that the dark power hidden in the deepest part of Golden Sand Blessed Land had fluctuated. It passed through the barrier of Golden Sand Blessed Land and gathered in his palm.
In the next second.
In the distance, the black river seemed to have sensed something. Waves rose uncontrollably. More importantly, the originally powerless black river had the power of darkness.
“This
When Mei Wuyan saw this change, his eyes flickered slightly.
“The Abyssal Well and the Nether River were originally interconnected, and the power of the Nether River originates from the energy that emanates from the Abyssal Well.”
Seeing the changes in the black river, a smile appeared on Nether Spirit’s face, and black light slowly appeared on her body.
Transcendent Level 1, Level 2…
Dharma Level 1, Level 2…
Soon, the aura on the Nether Spirit’s body kept rising. She only shook hands with Mei Wuyan, and the realm in her body kept increasing.
Soon, she reached the peak of the Dharma realm and was only a step away from the Immortal realm.
“This is the Star Tomb. Why are you here?”
Mei Wuyan asked the question in his heart. After all, he had obtained the Abyssal Well in the stargate, but this was the Star Tomb.
“Star Tomb? Lord Star is dead!”
The Nether Spirit’s eyes flickered when she heard the words “Star Tomb”.
“My lord, do you know anything about Lord Star?”
Nether Spirit asked. Mei Wuyan nodded and shook his head.
“I only know that the Star Tomb should be the graveyard of the so-called Lord Star. I don’t know anything else.”
Observing that Mei Wuyan was genuinely unaware, and recalling that it was referred to as the Star Tomb, the Nether Spirit also comprehended the situation.
“My lord, I don’t know Lord Star’s name.”
“Lord Star, a Celestial expert who cultivates the Big Dipper Constellation Technique, is one of the top experts in the Sea of Heavens. He even established the Heavenly Star Pavilion and is the master of a faction!” “Sea of Heavens? Heavenly Star Pavilion?”
Mei Wuyan nodded, indicating for Nether Spirit to continue.
“The Sea of Heavens is vast. Even though Lord Star has ascended to the
Celestial realm, he’s insignificant in the grand scheme of the Sea of Heavens.
He may have been hunted down and killed for offending a powerful enemy.”
Nether Spirit guessed.
“However, the Star Tomb is Lord Star’s backup plan.”
“As far as I know, as long as the Star Tomb absorbs enough Astral Power and uses a huge blood sacrifice, it can revive Lord Star!”
Nether Spirit’s face was very calm. To her, the so-called blood sacrifice was just an ordinary thing.
“Astral Power? Blood sacrifice?”
Mei Wuyan’s eyes were filled with contemplation. Then, he thought of the creature named Shapeshifter by Guo Jia after leaving the Star Tomb.
These Shapeshifters would kill any living creature. The corpses of the creatures they killed would also disappear. This made Mei Wuyan think about the blood sacrifice.
“My lord, since you’re here, it implies that Lord Star hasn’t succeeded yet. Why don’t we root out his lair?”
Nether Spirit’s scarlet eyes lit up as she suggested to Mei Wuyan.
“Do you know the Lord Star’s lair?”
The corners of Mei Wuyan’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the Nether Spirit.
Although he had confirmed that the Nether River and the Abyssal Well were a set, the Nether Spirit in front of him called herself the Nether River Spirit.
However, don’t forget that she was transformed from a crow.
“Indeed, the Abyssal Well vanished inexplicably, and I was subsequently plundered by Lord Star. However, due to losing the power of darkness, I was cast into this place by Lord Star.”
“But Lord Star doesn’t know that the Nether River has a spirit, so I know some secrets about him!”
Nether Spirit said to Mei Wuyan with a confident smile.
Then, she looked at her palm and her exquisite face could not help but blush.
As the two of them conversed, their palms never left each other.
Mei Wuyan also realized this. He couldn’t help but want to let go, but the Nether Spirit held him tightly again.
“My lord, don’t be anxious. The Nether River hasn’t acknowledged you as its master!”
The Nether Spirit’s face was red. She lowered her head and spoke softly. Although she was the Nether River Spirit and had some connection with the Nether River, she was an independent existence from the moment the crow transformed into a human.
The relationship between the Nether River Spirit and the Nether Spirit was very subtle.
“My lord, I don’t know how long Lord Star has been gathering Astral Power, but there must be a lot of Astral Power in his tomb. It’s valuable!”
The Nether Spirit spoke again.
“Also, the blood moon above us is also a treasure. My lord, you can put it away. The reason why I can transform into a human is also because of the blood moon.”
Nether Spirit extended her other hand and pointed at the blood moon in the sky.
“Okay.”
Mei Wuyan nodded lightly. Why wouldn’t he want the benefits that came knocking on his door? “By the way, do you know about Shapeshifters?” “Shapeshifter? What’s that?”
A trace of doubt appeared on the Nether Spirit’s face. “It’s a kind of smoke creature that can transform into others.
“My lord, are you talking about Formshifter?”
“This is bad!”
Nether Spirit thought for a moment before speaking. Her expression quickly changed..
