Nine Nether Flame Sparrow

Lin Langtian's mind was thrown into utter chaos and shock by the sudden turn of events.

But when he learned the information carried within the ripple, his eyes immediately lit up with delight!

Nine Nether Flame Sparrow!

As someone reborn, how could he not know what the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow represented?

In the Great Thousand World, there was the Myriad Beast Record, which recorded countless beast clans of the Great Thousand World. Any beast clan capable of appearing in the Myriad Beast Record was undoubtedly powerful.

Among them, the Nine Nether Sparrow ranked eleventh on the Earthly Ranking of the Myriad Beast Record.

The Nine Nether Sparrow was born in the Northern Darkness Land. Its wings could blanket mountains, and its nether light could swallow the sun and moon.

The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow had even ascended to the Heavenly Ranking of the Myriad Beast Record. It was a divine beast of the Heavenly Ranking, an existence surpassing the Nine Nether Sparrow!

From the information Lin Langtian received, he saw what appeared to be a vast continent floating in the void of the distant Great Thousand World.

At that moment, deep within that boundless continent, an incomparably enormous Crimson Giant Bird was shrieking toward the sky. Scarlet light swept out from its body and filled the heavens as it fought desperately against a gigantic Black Eagle.

The battle between the two peak divine beasts seemed capable of shattering even the surrounding space and continent.

No one knew how long the battle lasted. Just as that continent was about to collapse, the Crimson Giant Bird's gaze turned ruthless, and terrifying scarlet light suddenly erupted from its entire body.

As the scarlet light grew increasingly dense, it eventually seemed to transform into crimson flames that enveloped it. Its cries became more and more mournful, before it and the Black Eagle burned together within the blazing crimson flames.

The scene shifted, and the Crimson Giant Bird's massive body suddenly began to rapidly shrink amid the dense crimson flames.

Finally, with a mournful cry, it transformed into a crimson Essence Soul. By coincidence, it fused with Lin Langtian's transmigrated soul and took over the original body.

"So by chance, my soul fused with the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's Essence Soul. No wonder it came to the Heavenly Profound Continent," Lin Langtian muttered softly.

As the noble bloodline of the Nine Nether Sparrow clan, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow was a towering existence even in the Great Thousand World. Under normal circumstances, it would never deign to descend to a Lower Plane.

However, this Nine Nether Flame Sparrow had chosen to perish together with a beast-clan expert of equal rank in their battle. In the end, only an Essence Soul remained, and with the help of Lin Langtian's soul, it had come to the Heavenly Profound Continent with him.

Having understood this, Lin Langtian began to ponder. The significance of the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow to him now went without saying. Like Old Medicine to Xiao Yan and Little Marten to Lin Dong, it was the key to his rise.

With the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, even if he did not seize Lin Dong's opportunities, he could still contend with those favored children of heaven!

He, Lin Langtian, would not be a supporting character!

As Lin Langtian pondered, a faint message suddenly emerged from the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's Essence Soul and entered his mind.

Upon receiving the message, Lin Langtian froze, then a delighted expression appeared on his face.

Bloodline Link!

The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow actually wanted to form a Bloodline Link with him.

Lin Langtian was no stranger to Bloodline Links. He knew that it was a method possessed only by clans carrying the bloodline of ancient divine beasts.

Simply put, it used a special method to connect the bloodlines of a human and a divine beast.

The benefit was that it would allow Lin Langtian to possess the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's abilities. This was a more advanced way of acquiring abilities than merely refining them.

Of course, there was a downside as well. The host and the divine beast would form a close connection. If either one died, the other would not escape unharmed.

Lin Langtian did not care in the slightest. Where there was risk, there was reward. Compared with the reward, what was this little risk?

Besides, a mere weakling from a Lower Plane like him forming a Bloodline Link with a Nine Nether Flame Sparrow from the Great Thousand World was practically hitting the jackpot!

With that thought, Lin Langtian no longer hesitated. Following the instructions in the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's message, he pointed with his fingertip, and a stream of scarlet blood immediately shot out.

At the same time, a black pattern swiftly appeared atop the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's Essence Soul.

Black Flame burned across the pattern, giving off an extremely profound sensation, as though it could communicate with the deepest mysteries within the human body. It swallowed the blood Lin Langtian had shot forth.

Seeing that the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow emitted Black Flame rather than crimson fire, Lin Langtian was startled. But he quickly realized what had happened.

After that ancient battle, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow had suffered severe injuries. It seemed to have fallen from a Nine Nether Flame Sparrow to a Nine Nether Sparrow.

Even so, Lin Langtian did not mind at all. The Nine Nether Sparrow was still an invincible existence in the Heavenly Profound Continent. Besides, a fallen bloodline was not without hope of recovery.

Sizzle, sizzle.

As the blood stained the Black Flame pattern, plumes of white mist immediately rose. Yet it was not burned away. Instead, it merged into the pattern and slowly flowed through it, occupying half of the Black Flame pattern.

At this moment, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow slowly opened its eyes and looked at Lin Langtian with a complicated gaze. Then Black Light flickered at its brow.

A drop of dark blood shot out. Within that blood, tiny Black Flames seemed to burn.

That dark blood also merged into the black pattern, occupying the other half.

Buzz.

The two drops of blood each occupied half of the Black Flame pattern. Then the Black Flame pattern began to slowly revolve, and the two drops of blood came into contact as the pattern turned.

Bang!

The instant they touched, both Lin Langtian and the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's bodies shuddered violently. Yet the man and bird kept their eyes fixed on the revolving Black Flame pattern.

Buzz, buzz!

As the two drops of essence blood completely fused, the Black Flame pattern suddenly burst forth with radiant light.

Then Black Flame surged upward and directly set the pattern ablaze.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two drops of dark crimson essence blood shot out from the Black Flame, striking Lin Langtian's brow and the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's forehead.

Black Flame stirred, and what seemed to be a Black Flame mark appeared before finally merging deep into the bodies of the man and bird.

The moment the Black Flame mark fused into their bodies, a wondrous feeling surged into their hearts. It was an extremely marvelous sense of connection, as though they would live and die together.

After the Bloodline Link was completed, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow seemed to discover something. It suddenly let out a clear cry, and a flood of Black Flame rushed toward somewhere within Lin Langtian's body.

"No, don't!"

As the Black Flame attacked, a wail suddenly rang out from within Lin Langtian's body. Yet the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow remained unmoved and swallowed it directly.

In only a short while, after devouring that Nascent Soul, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's originally weakened aura gradually recovered somewhat. Lin Langtian likewise gained a small benefit.

His Origin Core Realm Great Perfection cultivation, which had originally been at a standstill, began to loosen slightly. The aura within his body surged wildly like a roller coaster.

In just a short moment, he reached the Form Creation Realm of the Creation Three Realms!
