Nether Dark Crow

The Star Dou Great Forest was the oldest Soul Beast forest on the Douluo Continent, home to Soul Beasts that were ten thousand years old and even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!

Lin Li had already arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. There, she saw lush, verdant trees, and the atmosphere gave her a sense of quiet serenity.

Yet there was not the slightest hint of relaxation in Lin Li's eyes. Looking up at the stars in the sky, she immediately unleashed the innate domain of the Crown of Stars.

The Star Domain spread out instantly. As long as she stood beneath the starry sky, the Soul Power consumed by maintaining her domain was so little that it could practically be ignored.

With the Star Domain deployed, Lin Li instantly felt her Spiritual Power surge wildly, while every aspect of her physical constitution improved as well.

She let out a quiet sigh and softly shouted, "Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix, open!" In an instant, an ink-black phantom of a phoenix slowly appeared behind her!

The Star Dou Great Forest was beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it was, it could not conceal the dense killing intent buried beneath its silence!

Lin Li had only just entered the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest when several figures swiftly charged at her. They were as sturdy as baboons, covered in bluish-white fur, with red faces and fangs!

They were Wind Baboons. As Lin Li watched the baboons rushing toward her, a bloodthirsty gleam flashed in her eyes!

She lightly stirred her Soul Power, and the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix instantly let out a piercing cry. Two blood-red flames appeared in her fair, tender hands!

They were the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix's Natal Flame, the Blood Fiend Phoenix Fire. With a light flick of her hand, she sent the flames flying out, and in an instant, they clung to the baboons' bodies!

Feeling the blistering heat of the flames on their fur, the Wind Baboons instantly let out agonized howls that echoed miserably through the forest!

Lin Li's expression did not change at the miserable cries. Before a single breath had passed, the baboons had already been reduced to ashes by the extreme heat. At that moment, the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix's eyes suddenly lit up!

Lin Li only felt a wave of comfort sweep through her limbs and bones. She murmured, "So this is the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix's devouring power? It truly is terrifying!"

However, as she looked at the white rings left behind by the baboons, she said faintly, "It's a pity they didn't leave behind any soul bones. Otherwise, my Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix could have absorbed their power and improved my physique a little!"

Lin Li allowed the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix to devour the pure Soul Power within the Wind Baboons' spirit rings. As expected of an utterly evil Spirit, its speed of devouring energy was terrifyingly astonishing!

Within a few breaths, the spirit rings' power had been completely absorbed by the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix's dreadful devouring force! She slowly headed deeper into the forest until she came to a towering locust tree over ten meters tall!

Perched atop that locust tree was a black crow-like Soul Beast nearly half a meter long.

Lin Yan had naturally introduced many Soul Beasts to Lin Li before, and this one happened to be among those he had mentioned.

A Nether Dark Crow, a bird-type Soul Beast with the Dark Attribute. Legend had it that it possessed a trace of phoenix bloodline. Even so, its strength was exceptionally formidable!

At that moment, Lin Li had already chosen it as the First Spirit Ring for the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix. The Nether Dark Crow tilted its head, its dark-red eyes beneath the hazy moonlight filled with indescribable coldness and ferocity.

It let out a harsh, violent caw, a sound that seemed to pierce through the entire forest.

After crying out, the Nether Dark Crow suddenly dove down. Its sharp claws and the mockery in its eyes made Lin Li realize that it was treating her as prey, toying with her.

Lin Li gritted her teeth. The Crown of Stars Spirit above her head suddenly erupted with light! Beneath the night sky, countless stars shone brilliantly!

The starlight forced the Nether Dark Crow's speed to slow. Lin Li seized the chance to activate her first Spirit, the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix. The Phoenix Spirit exerted considerable suppression over the Nether Dark Crow!

Yet even so, when the Nether Dark Crow slashed down with its claws, Lin Li still dodged in a rather sorry state!

She immediately condensed a ball of Phoenix Flame in her hand and hurled it at the Nether Dark Crow. Its movements were instantly slowed by the Star Domain, but it still used several shrill caws to ward off the flames' assault!

Lin Li took the opportunity to unleash Phoenix Flame at it relentlessly. In an instant, the Nether Dark Crow's feathers were covered in fire.

The moment its feathers caught fire, the Nether Dark Crow began to roar madly, its cries as mournful as wailing ghosts!

Unfortunately, the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix's Phoenix Flame specialized in attacking the soul and spirit. Within a quarter of an hour, the Nether Dark Crow was burned alive, and a yellow spirit ring slowly appeared.

It drifted gently, the only gorgeous ring-shaped halo between heaven and earth!

Unlike the Wind Baboons' spirit rings, the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix also conveyed its longing to Lin Li. The Nether Dark Crow and the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix were both avian Soul Beasts, so the soul skill it produced should be highly suitable for the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix!

Not to mention that the Nether Dark Crow possessed phoenix bloodline! If not for the restraint of the Star Domain, the Nether Dark Crow's troublesome nature might have rivaled even some weaker Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!

Lin Li sat cross-legged. Her tender little hands used Soul Power to draw the spirit ring above her head, and the yellow spirit ring slowly settled around the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix.

The Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix instantly released a high, resounding Phoenix Cry. The Nether Dark Crow had been burned alive by Lin Li's Phoenix Flame!

The pain and hatred it had endured were undoubtedly immense!

Its resentment manifested in her spiritual sea as a form one-third its original size. It was already crashing wildly through Lin Li's spiritual sea, determined to perish together with her!

Lin Li narrowed her Phoenix Eyes, her voice carrying a trace of barely perceptible mockery. She said coldly, "You weren't my match while alive, yet after death you still think you can stir up trouble!"

Because she had lived two lives, Lin Li's Spiritual Power was far stronger than that of ordinary soul masters! Moreover, due to the Crown of Stars, beneath the night sky, she estimated that her Spiritual Power could rival that of an ordinary Soul Elder!

Vast Spiritual Power continuously slammed into the Nether Dark Crow. It tried to resist, only to discover that it could accomplish nothing at all!

It let out helpless shrieks, but after struggling for a short while, it instantly dissipated within Lin Li's spiritual sea!

By then, the spirit ring absorption was already more than halfway complete. The Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix suddenly let out a Phoenix Cry, and Lin Li abruptly opened her eyes!

At that moment, the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix transmitted information about a soul skill to her. Upon sensing it, Lin Li's eyes widened involuntarily!
