77: Dapeng Breakthrough, Mysterious Mountain

High in the sky, the two giant birds quickly began to fight. At first, they were evenly matched, but after only a few minutes, the Dragon Eagle’s soul showed signs of fatigue, with several wounds pecked into its body by the Golden Winged Roc.

Although this Dragon Eagle was powerful, it was, after all, only a bird with a trace of True Dragon bloodline. The Golden Winged Roc, however, was a genuine Kunpeng descendant exchanged from the system. In terms of bloodline, they were naturally not on the same level!

Unlike the Dragon Eagle’s soul, the Golden Winged Roc grew more courageous with each strike, its eyes blazing with golden light, extremely greedy, as if it had seen delicious prey, filled with a bloodthirsty impulse!

Don't be fooled by how obedient the Golden Winged Roc was in front of Mu Wuchen; it was actually a fierce bird at the top of the food chain, and it was still a young bird that had only recently hatched. It was time for it to eat something good to replenish its body!

Above the sky, the battle changed in an instant. The Golden Winged Roc took advantage of a moment when the Dragon Eagle’s soul failed to dodge, and its sharp, blade-like beak directly pierced the back of the Dragon Eagle’s head. The Dragon Eagle’s soul struggled twice before wilting.

It was in a soul state, and although such an injury was extremely severe, it still had a chance to recover if given enough time to recuperate. But how could the Golden Winged Roc give it time to recover?

The Golden Winged Roc’s body suddenly expanded several times over, and with one gulp of its beak, it swallowed the Dragon Eagle’s soul into its belly!

As the Dragon Eagle’s soul was swallowed by the Golden Winged Roc, the Golden Winged Roc’s body immediately burst forth with dazzling golden light. Its already enormous body expanded several more times, even covering the entire sky above Mu Wuchen’s head!

As its size increased, the Golden Winged Roc’s aura also began to climb, quickly surpassing a fourth-tier demonic beast and reaching the fifth-tier!

The fifth-tier was equivalent to the Profound Infant Realm for humans, but looking at the Golden Winged Roc’s current state, it was clearly not comparable to an ordinary Mystic Infant!

After successfully breaking through, the Golden Winged Roc shrunk its body a bit and affectionately rubbed its large head against Mu Wuchen.

“Master…”

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded.

The voice was extremely tender and unpolished, as if from a little girl who had just learned to speak.

Mu Wuchen was startled, then showed a look of surprise as he looked at the Golden Winged Roc’s eyes.

“Is that you?”

A human-like joy appeared in the Golden Winged Roc’s eyes, and it gently pecked Mu Wuchen’s hand with its beak, as if confirming his question.

Mu Wuchen smiled slightly. He had long known that this Golden Winged Roc possessed high intelligence, but he hadn’t expected it to be able to speak after only a few months of birth.

Su Meier also looked at the Golden Winged Roc’s eyes and smiled slightly.

“Little one, your talent is even higher than mine was in the past. Your future prospects are limitless. Cultivate well, and when you break through to the sixth-tier, you should be able to freely transform.”

“Congratulations to the host for successfully killing the Dragon Eagle’s soul, a subordinate of the Son of Destiny Lin Fan, and successfully plundering 200 points of Destiny Value.”

Just then, the system’s voice sounded again, and the reward was credited once more.

Mu Wuchen smiled slightly, secretly thinking that this trip was not in vain; not only had the Golden Winged Roc’s strength broken through, but he had also reaped benefits from the Son of Destiny.

With everything settled, Mu Wuchen once again followed the guidance on the map to the next location.

As expected, on a similar giant pillar, the soul of a horse with dragon horns was present—it was the Dragon Horse, which was originally the opportunity for the man named Ma Kuohai.

Mu Wuchen quickly extracted the Dragon Horse’s soul and placed it into the system space, earning another delightful 200 points of Destiny Value.

However, Mu Wuchen was not so lucky afterward. He followed the map’s instructions and arrived at three more destinations.

But although the giant pillars still existed in these three places, the souls within them had already disappeared, seemingly taken by someone not long ago.

When searching for the next soul, Mu Wuchen finally encountered two other people again, one male and one female. The male had already obtained the Dragon Crocodile’s soul, while the female seemed to be looking for the Dragon Butterfly’s soul.

Seeing that they were Lin Fan’s subordinates, Mu Wuchen did not hesitate at all. He forcefully killed the man with the Dragon Crocodile’s soul and broke the neck of the woman who was trying to find the Dragon Butterfly’s soul.

On their bodies, Mu Wuchen found another map identical to the one in his hand. This time, Mu Wuchen learned his lesson and directly activated his Heavenly Fox Eyes to search their souls, and indeed, he obtained information about the Son of Destiny Lin Fan!

It turned out that Lin Fan had already obtained the Taixu Emperor Dragon’s heart, completing his last weakness, and had continuously broken through several realms, greatly increasing his strength. He was now consolidating his cultivation in a secret location.

This was why he had allowed his powerful subordinates, who had already received their inheritances, to each lead a few subordinates who had not yet received theirs to search according to the map.

However, what he didn’t expect was that those subordinates were killed by Mu Wuchen before they could obtain their inheritances, and those inheritances were also stolen by Mu Wuchen.

Mu Wuchen smiled faintly. Since he already knew the Son of Destiny’s whereabouts, he certainly wouldn’t care about these things anymore.

However, according to his memory, Lin Fan’s location was still a considerable distance from here. Even by riding the Golden Winged Roc, it would take nearly a day to arrive.

Mu Wuchen immediately didn’t hesitate and led the two women directly onto the Golden Winged Roc’s back.

At this moment, Mu Wuchen was unaware that a great danger was about to descend upon him.

At this moment, somewhere within the rift.

In an extremely hidden place, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes.

However, at this moment, his expression was serious, showing solemnity. Beside him were six or seven other people, and golden light shimmered on their bodies.

Seeing Lin Fan open his eyes, a rather handsome man quickly ran to him.

“Boss, how are you?”

At this moment, Lin Fan’s expression was grim, and he spoke in a low voice.

“Li Dali, Ma Kuohai, Qi Lin, and Su Yiran are all dead.”

Hearing Lin Fan’s words, everyone was greatly shocked. These people had gone out to search for the remaining few souls, and now they were all dead?

Who could kill them?

Just then, the ten-thousand-meter-high mountain behind Lin Fan began to tremble, and then the mountain strangely opened its eyes. Its eyes were wide and round, like the sun.

Then a deep voice actually sounded from within the tall mountain.

“Here…”

“A fox has come…”

Hearing this voice, Lin Fan was slightly startled.

“A fox? What does that mean?”

Hearing Lin Fan’s words, the tall mountain seemed to be pondering something, and after a long while, it spoke faintly.

“Just a talented little girl. If she had been born in our era, with her bloodline, her achievements might not have been below mine…”

“But growing up in this era, her comprehension and foundation are too weak…”

“I can use my last bit of strength to help you eliminate her, and that anomaly who dared to touch your Dragon Bone…”
