The previous Hell Fire River had transformed into a more powerful and scorching magma fire river.

The flames burned continuously, never extinguishing throughout the year.

One by one, Hell Fierce Spirits emerged from the magma.

The Hell Fierce Spirits had also changed their appearance; they had become stronger, reaching the Dao Venerable Realm.

They now wore suits of flame armor, looking even more ferocious and terrifying.

While they had become stronger, their numbers had correspondingly decreased.

The count dropped sharply from 10 million to 1 million, leaving only one-tenth, yet their combat power was stronger than before.

One million Hell Fierce Spirits at the Dao Venerable Realm—the mere thought of it made one tremble.

Lin Moyu sensed them carefully and muttered to himself, "Although they are in the Dao Venerable Realm, they are much weaker than ordinary Dao Venerables. They can barely be considered as being in the Dao Venerable Realm."

The Hell Fierce Spirits of the Dao Venerable Realm did not have Dao Patterns on their bodies.

Without Dao Patterns, it was difficult to invoke the power of the Great Dao. In fact, the Hell Fierce Spirits possessed no power of the Great Dao; they appeared terrifying solely due to their attribute of devouring everything.

In this state, there was no problem dealing with experts in the first or second realm of the Dao Venerable Realm, but if they encountered someone in the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm, there would likely be trouble.

If they faced a Dao Venerable 4th Realm expert who had evolved their Dao True Body, they would likely be unable to cope, and the opponent could easily break free.

Bone Hell had a limited range; if the opponent escaped, there would be nothing more to be done.

Lin Moyu knew very well that the current Bone Hell was still not truly complete. When it finally reached completion, it would surely strike terror into the hearts of the world's experts.

The transformation of Bone Hell had not yet fully ended.

Ten boiling fireballs appeared in the sky, continuously raining flames down onto the land, reflecting the brilliance of the fire river.

Above the fireballs, the Eye of Hell emerged. It slowly opened, like a monarch high above, looking down and surveying the entire Bone Hell.

Wisps of black energy spewed from the Eye of Hell, and countless Other Shore Flowers sprouted on both banks of the fire river, blooming one after another and scattering eerie purple radiance.

Lin Moyu discovered that these Other Shore Flowers had become increasingly realistic, and their influence was much greater, sufficient to affect Dao Venerables.

Then, his pupils shrank abruptly.

Beneath the Gate of Hell, beside the magma waterfall, a mass of black shadow emerged.

This black shadow resembled a bottomless black vortex. Once it appeared, it began to spin. An invisible suction force was generated, and immediately, a portion of the magma from the nearby magma waterfall was sucked away. It was like a bottomless pit; no matter how much magma it absorbed, it could never be filled.

It was terrifyingly black, capable of swallowing even light.

"Nether Black Pool."

"If it could devour a few more hell fragments, perhaps Bone Hell could evolve even more completely."

Lin Moyu muttered to himself. He took a deep breath, not expecting that Bone Hell would even evolve the Nether Black Pool. The Nether Black Pool was one of the most significant changes in this transformation.

Although it currently had no real function and was merely a prototype.

However, Lin Moyu believed that as Bone Hell grew stronger, the Nether Black Pool would inevitably undergo corresponding changes.

A true Nether Black Pool, with just a drop of its black water, could create the Nether Race, which showed just how powerful it was.

The transformation of Bone Hell was finally complete. Its coverage remained one thousand kilometers—not very large, but certainly not small.

The number of Hell Fierce Spirits was reduced to one-tenth, and their realm had become the Dao Venerable Realm.

The fire river had changed, and a Nether Black Pool had been added.

Lin Moyu checked the skill information for Bone Hell and discovered that he could not view the data.

Bone Hell had undergone some wondrous changes during the transformation; there was no longer any data display, and everything had to be felt by oneself.

"Fine, regardless, as long as it is still my skill, that is enough."

"I suppose it counts as being in the Dao Venerable Realm. Let's try to see if it works this time."

Lin Moyu took out a seventh-tier premium origin crystal and threw it to Bone Hell, intending to feed it with the origin crystal.

However, it spat the origin crystal back out again; it did not accept it.

At the same time, Bone Hell shook slightly.

Following its vibration, a large amount of Power of Origin surged from underground and was absorbed by it.

After just one absorption, the origin spirit vein seemed to weaken slightly.

Only then did Lin Moyu realize that Bone Hell did not want origin crystals; it wanted the origin spirit vein.

Lin Moyu was left speechless; another big eater had arrived.

And it was a very picky big eater, wanting to feed directly on the origin spirit vein.

"Fine, fine. When I have the chance in the future, I will help you find an origin spirit vein."

"But you cannot eat this one right now; I have a use for it!"

Lin Moyu waved his hand and put Bone Hell away.

Just as the Nether Black Pool appeared, in a mysterious location.

A massive, pitch-black statue suddenly began to vibrate, emitting bursts of red light.

A person sitting beneath the statue suddenly raised their head. "The Nether Black Pool has reappeared. The Nether God Lord has issued a decree: recover the Nether Black Pool."

The order spread throughout the entire race, and the Nether Race, which had been silent for countless years, awoke at this moment.

Chapter 2698: The Better the Food, the Stronger the origin spirit vein.

A radius of 100,000 li had been leveled, and most spirit beasts had been driven away; not many were actually killed. The spirit beasts that were driven away were all above the Supreme Realm.

Spirit beasts below the Supreme Realm trembled under the pressure of the Undead Legion, daring not to resist, and the Undead Legion did not slaughter them.

Sweeping through this area was not about extermination.

Little Three had already finished surveying the terrain of the origin spirit vein within a radius of over a thousand kilometers, forming a complete trend map.

As for further places, the trend of the origin spirit vein became complex, and the branches became increasingly numerous; surveying it would require a vast amount of time, perhaps even years would not be enough.

The current range of one thousand kilometers was already sufficient for use.

The remaining trend of the spirit vein did not necessarily need to be surveyed by Little Three.

Little Three handed the jade token recording the trend map back to Lin Moyu, and at the same time said, "Master, this origin spirit vein has already reached the peak of the sixth tier."

"As long as there is a suitable opportunity, it can sublimate to the seventh tier."

A seventh-tier origin spirit vein was far more powerful than a sixth-tier one.

If supported by a seventh-tier origin spirit vein, cultivation would be much faster.

Lin Moyu had already made preparations beforehand, having prepared some materials for the sublimation of the spirit vein.

However, according to Little Three, it was still not enough.

To sublimate a spirit vein, one of the most important things was a relatively weaker origin spirit vein.

A powerful origin spirit vein could devour a weaker origin spirit vein to undergo sublimation.

Lin Moyu suddenly thought of the two origin spirit beasts that had been freeloading in his Rule World for a long time.

The two Spirit-Whisker Insect Beasts had eaten quite a few origin crystals during this period, and the origin crystals they consumed were not of a low level; it was time for them to contribute something.

Lin Moyu threw the two Spirit-Whisker Insect Beasts out and also released the Insect Mother together with them.

One thing restrains another; with the Insect Mother present, the two Spirit-Whisker Insect Beasts became very obedient, not daring to move at all.

Little Three looked at the Spirit-Whisker Insect Beasts, then at the Insect Mother, and finally back at Lin Moyu, its squinty rat eyes blinking. "Master, are you a treasure chest?"

Lin Moyu knew what it meant. "By chance, I happened to obtain these two guys."

Little Three asked with suspicion, "Did Master obtain the Insect Mother as well?"

Lin Moyu chuckled. "It was indeed by chance."

Fine, Little Three expressed its speechlessness; this "chance" was a bit too much.

Lin Moyu said, "These two guys have been freeloading for a long time. I calculate that they should be able to produce an origin spirit vein by now. You are both spirit beasts; communicate with them and see when they can get it done."

Little Three patted its chest in assurance. "No problem, leave it to me."

With a swoosh, Little Three jumped in front of the Spirit-Whisker Insect Beasts.

Everyone was a spirit beast, and Little Three was a Dao Venerable 3rd Realm spirit beast; in terms of realm, it could easily suppress the origin spirit beasts.

Little Three put its rat paws on its waist, its mouth moving slightly, making chirping sounds that Lin Moyu could not understand at all.

Lin Moyu knew that this must be the language between spirit beasts.

If a spirit beast possessed intelligence, it could speak human language to communicate.

Unfortunately, the two Spirit-Whisker Insect Beasts had a very high level of existence, higher than ordinary spirit beasts, even surpassing Little Three.

The world was fair; it was very difficult for them to awaken their intelligence.

Fortunately, Little Three could use the spirit beast language to communicate with them, which saved a lot of trouble.

After communicating for a while, Little Three reported to Lin Moyu very proudly, "Reporting to Master, I have already asked clearly."

"They have now reached the critical point and can ascend and transform at any time."

"It's just that they have been lacking some things, which is why they haven't ascended yet."

Lin Moyu asked, "Speak clearly, what is missing?"

Little Three said, "That depends on what level of origin spirit vein Master needs. For example, this big guy is already a High-level Heavenly Venerable; its next ascension will be to the Dao Venerable Realm."

"During the ascension, it can gestate an origin spirit vein, but the level of this origin spirit vein will vary."

"For example, if Master uses a seventh-tier origin crystal to let it ascend, it can gestate a fifth-tier low-grade origin spirit vein."

"If you use a seventh-tier premium origin crystal, it can gestate a fifth-tier high-grade origin spirit vein."

"If you use a seventh-tier world-class origin crystal, it has a chance to gestate a sixth-tier low-grade origin spirit vein."

Little Three explained in detail. In short, this big Spirit-Whisker Insect Beast needed to use a seventh-tier origin crystal to ascend.

The level of the origin crystal differed, so the level of the gestated spirit vein also differed, ranging from fifth-tier low-grade to sixth-tier low-grade.

The small Spirit-Whisker Insect Beast was only a low-level Heavenly Venerable; it could ascend to the Mid-stage Heavenly Venerable this time.

When ascending, it could gestate a third-tier origin spirit vein, but it also needed a seventh-tier origin crystal to ascend.

They ate the same thing, but what they gestated was different; this was related to their own realm.

Lin Moyu knew that if other factions obtained these two Spirit-Whisker Insect Beasts, they would certainly try every possible way to satisfy their ascension conditions to gestate origin spirit veins.

This was a highly profitable deal; there was absolutely no way to lose money.

Lin Moyu was very curious: if he gave them eighth-tier origin crystals to eat, could they gestate higher-quality origin spirit veins?

Little Three asked, and the answer surprised Lin Moyu.

Eighth-tier origin crystals were too high-level; they could not digest them and could not eat them.

They would have to wait until they reached the Dao Venerable 4th Realm before they could digest eighth-tier origin crystals.

Little Three whispered, "Master, actually, there is no need to let the Insect Mother watch them now. Even if you drove them away now, they would not leave."

Lin Moyu felt slightly strange. "Why?"

Little Three said, "They said that living here is great, with good food and drink, always having origin crystals to eat, and they don't have to do anything. They are living very well."

Lin Moyu was even more puzzled. "Giving them origin crystals is to let them gestate origin spirit veins; how could they not have to do anything?"

Little Three said, "They said that them gestating origin spirit veins is their instinct; they were going to gestate them anyway."

Lin Moyu was somewhat dumbfounded; he had actually raised two freeloaders. No wonder they were so obedient.

Lin Moyu did not hesitate at all and threw out a hundred seventh-tier premium origin crystals. "Eat up, and hurry up and gestate the origin spirit veins."

The two Spirit-Whisker Insect Beasts immediately began to eat greedily, like chicks pecking at rice, slowly consuming the origin crystals completely.

Their aura was increasing rapidly. They had already reached the critical point for ascension and breakthrough, and now with the seventh-tier origin crystals, they easily took the final step.

Little Three said with an envious tone, "I really envy origin spirit beasts. As long as they eat enough, they can naturally ascend without any bottlenecks."

Lin Moyu said, "The world is fair. Where there are good things, there will naturally be bad things. It is very difficult for origin spirit beasts to awaken their intelligence."

Little Three nodded and said, "Indeed, and they can only eat origin crystals. Unlike me, who can eat all kinds of delicacies."

Lin Moyu chuckled. "Your thinking is not bad. Only with intelligence is one a complete life, not living in a daze."

Instructing Little Three to watch over the Spirit-Whisker Insect Beasts, Lin Moyu began to refine the origin spirit vein.
