The mysterious giant black bird seemed to have come from Jiu You. It brought along torrential black flames as it appeared, attracting countless astonished gazes.
The giant black bird was engulfed in black flames and its body was blurry. Therefore, some people were unable to identify what kind of Spirit Beast it was. However, even if they could identify it, based on its aura, it was definitely more powerful than Yang Hong's Ancient Tiger Serpent!
"What kind of Spirit Beast is that?
What a terrifying aura! "
Mo Ling and the other freshmen were dumbfounded as they stared at the giant black bird. This was the first time they had seen Mu Chen activate the power of a Spirit Beast's Soul Essence. They had always thought that Mu Chen had refined one of the two Heaven Rank Spirit Beasts he had obtained in the Northern Heavens World. However, from the scene before them, it was obvious that their guess was wrong.
Mu Chen had been hiding the Soul Essence that he had refined!
So, this was the strongest move that he had been hiding!
"This guy …" Zhou Ling was shocked. After a while, he took a deep breath with a complicated expression. He had originally thought that after advancing to the Heavenly Fusion Stage, he would be able to close the gap between him and Mu Chen. However, who would have thought that this guy was like a bottomless pit that no one could reach.
This feeling was truly unfathomable.
Currently, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations emitted from Mu Chen's body were already close to Yang Hong's!
That seemingly insurmountable gap was being rapidly closed by him using all sorts of miraculous methods.
Sometimes, even Zhou Ling had to admit that Mu Chen was always able to create miracles.
He would always create some miracles. What was thought to be an unshakable situation would eventually be miraculously reversed by him.
On the surrounding mountain peaks, the faces of the older students who were watching the battle were filled with amazement.
This battle that had been full of twists and turns was truly full of ups and downs.
"These freshmen are really amazing. In the future, Hokuang Reiwon will be quite lively.
It's going to be interesting. "
Li Xuantong stood ramrod straight with his hands behind his back. His eyes were also focused on the mysterious black bird's body at this moment. His eyesight was after all somewhat shrewd and experienced. Hence, he had vaguely guessed a little.
But the result of his guess was a little unbelievable.
"With his strength, how could he possibly refine such an existence's Soul Essence?" Li Xuantong frowned. Generally speaking, a Heaven Rank Spirit Beast of that level wouldn't be able to refine it.
It was already very difficult to subdue.
Not to mention refining the Soul Essence.
Furthermore, with Mu Chen's strength at the Spirit Stage Late Phase, only an idiot would believe that he could refine it.
But.
The truth was right in front of him, and Li Xuantong could even sense it.
The Soul Essence that Mu Chen had mobilized seemed to possess more spirituality than the Soul Essence that Yang Hong had mobilized.
This feeling was very peculiar, but those with keen senses would always be able to sense the slight difference.
It felt as if one was a dead object and the other was a living creature.
After pondering for a moment, Li Xuantong could only shake his head and stare at the sky. This time, even he had to admit that Mu Chen had finally surprised him. At the very least, the latter did not seem to be as unbearable as he had imagined.
While everyone on the mountain was stunned by the mysterious giant black bird, Elder Zhu Tian and the other two elders in the sky were also amazed.
"The Jiu You Sparrow is amazing. How did this little guy do it?
An existence like the Jiu You Sparrow has the potential to evolve to the Divine Rank. Once it evolves, it will become an existence like Lord Kun. How could it be refined by a human? "Elder Zhu Tian and the other two clicked their tongues. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
The Lord Kun that they were talking about was naturally the Guardian Divine Beast of Hokuang Reiwon, the Northern Sea Dragon. Even the Dean had to be polite in front of that Lord Kun.
Their eyesight was extraordinary and their experience was not something that the other students could compare to. Therefore, they clearly understood that the Nine Netherbird was a proud and terrifying Spiritual Beast. If one wanted to refine its Soul Essence, they would probably need an existence that had stepped into the Sovereign Stage to personally suppress it. It was evident that Mu Chen, who came from a small place like the Northern Spiritual Realm, could not fulfill this condition.
As an elder of Hokuang Reiwon, Elder Zhu Tian and the others obviously had some information about Mu Chen. That was why they were so confused.
"Interesting." Elder Zhu Tian smiled and looked at the sky once again.
On the mountain peak, Mu Kui and Bing Qing's expressions turned extremely grave. At this moment, even they felt a trace of fear in their hearts when facing Mu Chen.
On the other hand, Luo Li was still staring at the sky calmly. A faint smile hung on her rosy lips. Although she was surprised that Mu Chen had revealed such a trump card, it was just as she had said to Bing Qing earlier. She had always believed in Mu Chen. This seemingly thin boy, in reality, wouldn't be crushed so easily.
What he had lost, he would take back, bit by bit.
While countless people's gazes were gathered on Mu Chen's body, he kept his thoughts to himself. He could feel that a unique change was happening in his aura sea.
Within his aura sea, the Jiu You Sparrow was elegantly lying on the Mandala Flower. Black flames constantly surged out from its body and entered the Spirit that was sitting cross-legged on the Spiritual Energy light wheel.
At this moment, Mu Chen's Spirit was also covered by the black flames. It looked extremely strange.
The Jiu You Sparrow glanced at the Spirit that was sitting cross-legged on the Spiritual Energy light wheel. It lazily muttered to itself, "You're actually able to assimilate my power to such a degree. You're really lucky."
This kind of power was naturally brought about by the Bloodline Bond. When he fought against An Ran in the Northern Heavens Hall, Mu Chen had also used this kind of power. However, compared to now, there was a huge disparity between the two.
Although Mu Chen had completed the Bloodline Bond with the Jiu You Sparrow, he didn't directly refine the Spirit Essence of the Jiu You Sparrow. Therefore, he couldn't directly use the power of the Spirit Essence like Yang Hong and the others. Therefore, he needed to gradually assimilate the power that originated from the Jiu You Sparrow. The higher the degree of assimilation, the stronger the power he could control.
Moreover, this kind of power.
Even if the Jiu You Sparrow left his body in the future, he would still be able to possess it and wouldn't directly lose it.
Furthermore, when the assimilation reached its peak, Mu Chen could even directly transform into the Jiu You Sparrow and possess all the abilities of the Jiu You Sparrow.
At that time, from a certain point of view.
He could simply be considered as a humanoid Jiu You Sparrow!
They were not like Yang Hong and the others who only looked impressive.
This was the benefit of Bloodline Bond!
In other words, the Bloodline Bond was a kind of power that could evolve. Yang Hong, who had directly refined the Soul Essence, could initially gain the upper hand by relying on the power of the Soul Essence, but his potential was far inferior to the former.
In the sky, Mu Chen's entire body was wrapped in black flames.
He slowly clenched his fists.
He could feel the vigorous power permeating his body at this moment.
That kind of power was enough to destroy mountains.
As he gradually assimilated the power of the Jiu You Sparrow, the power that he could use.
It was also getting stronger and stronger.
He would no longer be able to temporarily borrow it like when he dealt with Liu Jingshan. Now, he could completely control it.
Mu Chen slowly raised his head. With eyes burning with black flames, he looked at the Tiger Flood Dragon in the distance. At this moment, the latter was staring at him with bloodshot eyes.
At this moment, Yang Hong's heart was clearly shaken. He originally thought that the battle was about to end, but there was yet another unforeseen event.
Although he could not see the appearance of the mysterious giant black bird behind Mu Chen, Yang Hong could feel that the Tiger Flood Dragon's Soul Essence that he had refined was trembling slightly. It seemed to be afraid of the mysterious black bird behind Mu Chen.
A spirit beast that even the Ancient Tiger Flood Dragon was afraid of was probably ranked in the top 30 of the Myriad Beast Record's Earth List!
He could not imagine how Mu Chen had refined a spirit beast's Soul Essence of this level. It must be known that he was only able to refine the Ancient Tiger Flood Dragon's Soul Essence because his father had joined hands with several elders. Only then did he barely succeed. What did Mu Chen rely on?!
This guy was too dangerous!
As this thought flashed through Yang Hong's mind, his killing intent grew frantically like weeds. He understood that if he allowed Mu Chen to continue like this, he would be suppressed by him in the future when he Hokuang Reiwon, and it would be difficult for him to shine again.
This was something that Yang Hong could not accept!
"Kill him!"
Killing intent surged in Yang Hong's heart. Shortly after, he roared towards the sky. The sky was filled with green light. Like a thousand-foot wave, it rumbled as it swept across the horizon and enveloped Mu Chen.
Obviously, Yang Hong was somewhat unscrupulous.
Mu Chen stared at the surging Spiritual Energy waves that brought along an astonishing pressure. With a thought, the gigantic black bird behind him unfurled its cloud-like wings. As black flames rose, it formed a black sea of fire that protected his front.
Rumble!
As the green light surged over, the two fiercely collided. However, whenever the green light came into contact with the black flames, it was directly evaporated.
The strange black flames seemed to be able to burn even Spiritual Energy.
Yang Hong's expression drastically changed. He could not help but feel irritated. Originally, he had the absolute upper hand. However, in a flash, his advantage was gone. Instead, he could not even break through Mu Chen's defense.
The Ancient Tiger Flood Dragon roared furiously and attacked crazily. However, the black sea of fire did not budge. In front of the mysterious black bird, the Ancient Tiger Flood Dragon that Yang Hong had transformed into was like an enraged loach.
Mu Chen's eyes were indifferent as he stared at the furious Yang Hong. His body suddenly rose into the air, and the massive black bird carried him as they flew tens of thousands of feet into the sky.
Mu Chen looked down at the Ancient Tiger Flood Dragon that Yang Hong had transformed into. He slowly closed his eyes. At the same time, the Great Pagoda Art within his body suddenly circulated.
In the depths of his body, rays of black light began to emerge and connect with each other.
High up in the sky, black light suddenly descended. Indistinctly, there seemed to be the sound of a bell ringing. Countless people hurriedly looked over and saw that the mysterious black bird in the sky had begun to disperse. A gigantic nine-story black pagoda that was several hundred feet tall was slowly taking shape. Above the black pagoda, there were endless black flames lingering.
An indescribably frightening fluctuation rippled out.
The Ancient Tiger Flood Dragon that Yang Hong had transformed into looked at the nine-story black pagoda in the sky. For some unknown reason, an uncontrollable feeling of unease and fear welled up in his heart.
Boom!
Just when he was feeling uneasy, the nine-story black pagoda that was ten thousand feet high up in the sky had already produced an indescribably frightening fluctuation. It tore through the sky and, under countless horrified gazes, came crashing down!
(I'm finally done. I'm so tired.
Do you have a monthly ticket to comfort me?!)
