991 Mysterious Meteor Shower
Although the chances of the Fire Crow transforming were slim, it was still a possibility. Once tamed and slightly nurtured, it would become a mythical-level combat power. It was a significant boost, and while others might not want it, Ye Qiu did not want to miss out.

“I want one too,” Lu Zhishen said when he heard Ye Qiu’s words, expressing his desire for a Fire Crow as well.

The two of them took a few steps and stood under a tree, observing the Fire Crows hanging from the branches.

Since there was no apparent difference among the Fire Crows, Ye Qiu made the initial move. He cut his finger and let the blood spurt into the air. When the blood touched one of the Fire Crows’ bodies, it absorbed the droplet of blood as if it were a withered sponge.

Swoosh!

The Fire Crow’s body fell from the tree, and its closed eyes snapped open. At that very moment, its gaze fixated directly on Ye Qiu, as though a mysterious connection forged a bloodline bond that naturally brought them closer.

Caw!

The Fire Crow emitted a clear chirping sound, and a burst of crimson flames erupted from its body. With a flapping of its wings, it transformed into a red light before Ye Qiu’s eyes. As the flames gradually subsided, it turned into a red Fire Crow, landing on Ye Qiu’s shoulder.

Affectionately, it used its beak to rub against his face, exuding a sense of joy at a new life.

“How marvelous! Is this what it feels like to have an intimate partner?”

Ye Qiu’s face lit up with a smile as he gently stroked the Fire Crow with a hint of fondness.

Lu Zhishen also used the same method to obtain a Fire Crow.

“Golden Crow Treasure Tree, Sunset Hot Spring, Blazing Fire Crow Tree. These are the three unique specialties of Rising Sun City. After harvesting them once, we would need a large amount of nutrients for the two rare trees to grow and spawn rapidly,” Li Xiang explained.

“What kind of nutrients?”

“A large amount of fresh meat and blood! Flesh and blood, they are the best fertilizer for these trees. With enough flesh and blood, the precious tree can quickly spawn the Golden Crow Saber and even the Fire Crow.”

Shortly after, everyone left the backyard.

Qin Ge immediately entered the Five Major Army Groups to select top-notch archers.

The slaughter in Rising Sun City continued relentlessly.

With numerous buildings in the city, the foreign race warriors hid among them, making it a challenging task to find them all. Once located, intense battles ensued. Countless foreign race warriors were being killed every moment. This process continued throughout the day, and Rising Sun City was enveloped in a strong scent of bloodshed.

However, as time passed, the sounds of battle diminished and gradually faded away.

Almost all those who could be found had been slain, and no matter how much they searched, it was difficult to locate those who remained elusive.

Eventually, darkness blanketed the sky.

Li Xiang, Zhou Qing, and the rest stood atop the city tower. They fixed their gaze upon the sky as it grew dimmer, feeling a sense of gravity in their hearts.

According to the White Bone Nether Crows, the Mythical Battlefield would turn into a realm of terror once night cast its dark veil. However, the specifics of what would transpire remained unknown.

From captured members of the foreign race, they learned that they should try to occupy a war city or at least enter one. Several days after the opening of the Mythical Battlefield, major changes would occur. If they remained in the wilderness without entering a war city, they would face unimaginable danger.

However, Li Xiang did not know if tonight would bring any changes. Perhaps something would happen, or perhaps nothing at all.

“The souls have already been collected by the White Bone Nether Crows.”

Li Xiang surveyed the surroundings of the Rising Sun City, both within its walls and beyond. In the backyard of the castellan’s mansion, massive amounts of bones and flesh had been brought back into the city and piled under the Golden Crow Treasure Tree.

After detecting the presence of flesh and blood, countless roots from that small tree embedded themselves in the flesh, greedily absorbing its power and turning it into nourishment.

In the blink of an eye, the small tree grew at an astonishing speed, reaching several feet in height within a single day. It regained a trace of its initial vigor and even blossomed and bore fruit, undergoing a complete transformation in a single day, sprouting exquisite and delicate Golden Crow Sabers.

If it were not for the fact that the incredible speed of this peculiar tree could not reach a non-human level, it would have likely matured the grown sabers within a day.

As for the souls on the battlefield, they had already been collected by the White Bone Nether Crows in the first instance. The contract between them and the White Bone Nether Crow Clan had been fulfilled. The Nether Crows had already collected one million souls from the battlefield.

The speed at which souls were harvested was truly astonishing, befitting the emissaries of the Grim Reaper.
“Monk, can you explain what’s going on with those nine moons in the Mythical Battlefield? The moons here are unusually large,” Ye Qiu remarked, gazing at the moons in the sky.

In the darkness, multiple moons appeared in the sky above the battlefield. These were no ordinary moons. There was a total of nine, radiating an icy ethereal moonlight. Their appearance was followed by a decrease in temperature on the battlefield, creating two distinct worlds compared to daytime—one resembling summer and the other winter.

The chill had silently filled the entire battlefield.

Of course, this chill had little effect on cultivators, except for making them feel a heightened sense of coldness.

“I have no idea,” Lu Zhishen shook his head.

He had no interest in exploring such matters.

Crack!

Without any warning, streaks of meteors appeared in the night sky. These meteors converged together, creating a magnificent spectacle akin to a grand meteor shower.

“Meteor shower? How can there be a meteor shower in the Mythical Battlefield?”

Zhou Qing frowned, for abnormal occurrences usually indicated something ominous. Since the Mythical Battlefield lacked a visible starry sky, how could there be a meteor shower?

“It seems that a change is imminent. Notify everyone, raise the alert, man the walls, and be prepared for battle at any time.”

Li Xiang also sensed something unusual about this meteor shower. A malefic force seemed to seep from its core.

This meteor shower was not a good omen.

Fear loomed in the air, etching its presence on troubled faces.

Everyone knew that this could be a bad omen, and dreadful events might unfold at any moment.

This scene was not only witnessed by Li Xiang and others but also by numerous races and warriors on the Mythical Battlefield. They all saw the dense meteor shower appearing out of thin air, seemingly poised to strike the battlefield.

” Could this be the turmoil spoken of on the battlefield? What does the meteor shower bring?”

“Be prepared. If the meteors come towards us, we must strike them down directly.”

“How beautiful, such a dazzling meteor shower.”

On the Mythical Battlefield, countless powerhouses gazed at the void, each with a different reaction.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Meteors descended from the sky, crashing onto the Mythical Battlefield.

Surprisingly, these meteors did not leave deep craters on the battlefield. There was no terrifying impact or destructive force as one would expect from falling meteors. It was as if they were illusory, silently descending without a sound.
