Nine Nether Flame Sparrow

The sudden turn of events left Lin Langtian's mind in utter chaos and shock.

However, when he learned the information conveyed through the fluctuation, his eyes immediately lit up with delight!

Nine Nether Flame Sparrow!

As someone who had been 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 documented countless beast clans of the Great Thousand World. Any beast clan recorded within it was undoubtedly powerful.

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

The Nine Nether Sparrow was born in the Northern Nether Land. Its wings could blot out mountains, while its nether light could devour the sun and moon.

The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, meanwhile, had entered the Heaven Ranking of the Myriad Beast Record. It was a Divine Beast of the Heaven Ranking, an existence that surpassed the Nine Nether Sparrow!

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

At that moment, deep within that boundless continent, an incomparably massive crimson bird was screeching toward the heavens. Crimson Light swept out from Within the Body in overwhelming waves as it fought desperately against a gigantic Black Eagle.

The battle between those two peak Divine Beasts seemed capable of shattering even the surrounding space and continent.

No one knew how long the great battle had lasted. Just as that continent was about to collapse, the crimson bird's gaze turned ruthless, and incomparably terrifying Crimson Light suddenly burst forth from its entire body.

As the Crimson Light grew increasingly intense, it eventually seemed to transform into Crimson Flames that enveloped it. Its screeches became more and more shrill, before it and the Black Eagle burned together within the crimson inferno.

The scene shifted, and the enormous body of the crimson bird suddenly began rapidly shrinking within the dense Crimson Flames.

Finally, amid a mournful cry, it transformed into a crimson wisp of essence. By a stroke of coincidence, it fused with Lin Langtian's transmigrated soul and took over the Original Body.

"So, by chance, my soul fused with the essence of the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow. No wonder it came to the Tianxuan Continent," Lin Langtian murmured.

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 ordinary circumstances, it would never lower itself to descend into a Lower Plane.

Yet this Nine Nether Flame Sparrow had chosen mutual destruction in its battle against an Expert of an equal-ranking beast clan. In the end, only a wisp of its essence remained, and with the help of Lin Langtian's soul, it had arrived at the Tianxuan Continent together with him.

Having understood everything, Lin Langtian began to contemplate matters. After all, the significance of the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow to him now went without saying. Just as Old Yao was to Xiao Yan and Little Vixen was 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 these favored children of heaven and earth!

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

As Lin Langtian pondered, the essence of the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow suddenly sent out a faint message that entered his mind.

Upon receiving that information, Lin Langtian froze for a moment before 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 races carrying the bloodline of ancient Divine Beasts.

Simply put, it was a special technique that connected the bloodlines of a human and a Divine Beast.

The benefit was that Lin Langtian would gain the abilities of the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow. This was a more advanced method of acquiring abilities than simply refining it.

Of course, there was also a drawback: the host and the Divine Beast would form a close connection. If either one died, the other would not escape unscathed.

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

Besides, he was merely a weakling from a tiny Lower Plane, while the other party was a Nine Nether Flame Sparrow from the Great Thousand World. Forming a Bloodline Link with it was practically hitting the jackpot!

Thinking this, Lin Langtian no longer hesitated. Following the instructions in the information sent by the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, he pointed with his fingertip, and a drop of scarlet blood immediately shot out from it.

At the same time, a Black Pattern swiftly emerged upon the essence of the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow.

The pattern burned with Black Flame, giving off an extremely mysterious feeling, as though it could communicate with the deepest mysteries Within the Body. It swallowed the blood Lin Langtian had shot out.

Seeing that the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow was emitting Black Flame rather than Crimson Flames, Lin Langtian was startled. However, he quickly realized what had happened.

After enduring that ancient battle, this Nine Nether Flame Sparrow had also 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. A Nine Nether Sparrow would still be an invincible existence in the Tianxuan Continent, and a fallen bloodline was not without a chance of recovery.

Sizzle, sizzle.

As the blood touched the Black Flame pattern, waves of White Mist immediately rose up. Yet it was not burned away. Instead, it fused into the pattern and flowed through it bit by bit, occupying half of the Black Flame pattern.

At that moment, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow slowly opened its eyes as well. It gave Lin Langtian a complicated look, then Black Light flickered between its brows.

A drop of Dark Blood shot forth. Within that blood, tiny Black Flames seemed to be burning.

That Dark Blood also fused into the Black Pattern, occupying the other half.

Hum.

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

Bang!

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

Hum, hum!

As the two drops of essence blood fully fused, the Black Flame pattern suddenly erupted with waves of radiance.

Then Black Flame surged upward, directly setting the pattern ablaze.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two streams of dark crimson essence blood shot out from the black flames, striking Lin Langtian between the brows and the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow on the forehead.

The black flames churned, and what seemed to be a Black Flame Mark emerged before sinking deep into the bodies of man and bird.

The moment the Black Flame Mark fused deep into their bodies, a strange sensation surged into their hearts—a wonderfully mysterious connection, as though they would live together and die together.

Once the Bloodline Link was complete, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow seemed to notice something. It suddenly let out a clear cry, and black flames rushed like a flood toward a certain place Within the Body of Lin Langtian.

"No, don't!"

As the black flames struck, a wail suddenly rang out from Within the Body of Lin Langtian. Yet the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow remained utterly unmoved and swallowed it whole.

In just a few moments, after devouring that Primordial Spirit, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's previously weakened aura gradually recovered somewhat. Lin Langtian likewise gained a small benefit.

His cultivation, originally at the Grand Perfection of Yuan Dan Realm, began to loosen slightly, while the aura Within the Body surged wildly like a roller coaster.

In but a few moments, it reached—

Creation Three Realms, Shaping Realm!
