The sudden change caused Mu Chen's mind to fall into chaos and shock. His face was exceptionally pale.
A Soul Essence devouring its owner?
Damn it, he had just broken through to the Spiritual Rotation Stage and did not have the strength to refine a Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence. Why did such a thing appear in his body out of nowhere?
Mu Chen's mind was in a mess. Fortunately, he still had a bit of calmness left in him. He quickly recovered from the chaos. For now, he should not be concerned about the cause of the matter. Instead, he had to protect his own life first!
A Soul Essence devouring its owner was a rather common occurrence. Some of the Spirit Stage powerhouses were ambitious and liked to refine the powerful Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence. However, how could they not know that this was an extremely dangerous thing to do? Refining a Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence meant that the Spiritual Beast's intelligence would be erased. This method would definitely cause the Spiritual Beast to resist. Some of the Spiritual Beasts that were full of ferocious auras would take the opportunity to counterattack and devour its owner. Once the Spiritual Beasts were devoured, they would most likely die.
The extremely ferocious fluctuation charged towards Mu Chen's mind in an attempt to erase his consciousness. Facing this kind of attack from within his body, Mu Chen did not have many methods to deal with it. He immediately took a deep breath and controlled the Spiritual Energy in his body to circulate through his meridians and collided with it.
Dong!
The deep and muffled sound reverberated within Mu Chen's body, causing him to feel a sweet taste in his throat. However, the collision of Spiritual Energy also formed Spiritual Energy fluctuations. These fluctuations quickly spread out and finally collided with the ferocious fluctuation that was charging towards Mu Chen's mind.
When the two collided, Mu Chen's mind once again felt dizzy. However, he bit the tip of his tongue and used the pain to maintain his consciousness. Then, he saw a black flame strangely rising within his body.
The black flame floated and within the flame, an elegant black figure could be vaguely seen spreading its wings.
"It's Jiu You Sparrow!"
Mu Chen saw the black figure that had left a deep impression on him.
His heart was in turmoil.
He had never thought that not only had a spirit beast's soul essence entered his body, but it was also the Jiu You Sparrow's soul essence!
"It's that time!"
Mu Chen suddenly recalled the moment before he fainted in the Black Eerie Swamp. There seemed to be something hidden within the ball of black flames that charged towards him. Could it be that the Spiritual Beast Soul Essence of the Jiu You Sparrow was hidden within it?
Crawled into his body?
"Damn it!"
Mu Chen cursed angrily. In his heart, he did not feel the slightest bit of joy from the fact that the Jiu You Sparrow's spiritual beast's soul essence was in his body. Instead, he felt a deep sense of fear. With his current strength, it was simply impossible for him to refine it. There could only be one outcome for him.
His consciousness would be erased by the Jiu You Sparrow, and this cunning and vicious Jiu You Sparrow might even occupy his body in a peculiar way in order to be reborn.
And that scene was definitely not what Mu Chen wanted to see.
"Screech!"
Within the ball of black flames, the Jiu You Sparrow seemed to have sensed Mu Chen's gaze. It immediately let out a clear cry that contained a fierce aura. The ball of black flames turned around and drilled into Mu Chen's aura sea.
It was also smart.
It knew that as long as it broke Mu Chen's aura sea.
Once it destroyed his spiritual energy, he would become a cripple.
He would no longer be able to defend against it.
"What a ruthless beast!"
Mu Chen was also shocked by the Jiu You Sparrow's ruthlessness. He cursed angrily and hurriedly mobilized his spiritual energy in an attempt to stop the Jiu You Sparrow.
Within the black flames, the faintly discernible Jiu You Sparrow saw the spiritual energy surging towards it. An extremely disdainful expression flashed through its sharp eyes. What level of existence was it?
Even if it was incomparably illusory right now, it was definitely not something a youth that had just stepped into the Spiritual Rotation Stage could deal with.
At this moment, the black flames seemed to have become a lot brighter. It flapped its wings and the ball of flames directly charged towards the spiritual energy surging towards it. When the two collided, Mu Chen was somewhat shocked to see that wherever the black flames passed, the spiritual energy within his body was actually directly evaporated.
This kind of obstruction was completely ineffective against the Jiu You Sparrow. Between the two of them, one was a super Spiritual Beast with a ferocious reputation and the other was only a youth at the Spiritual Rotation Stage. They were simply not on the same level.
Mu Chen also discovered the disparity between the two of them. However, he did not give up just like that. Instead, he gritted his teeth and a ruthless expression flashed through his heart. Since you want to cripple me, don't think that you'll have an easy time as well!
Mu Chen's mind moved and the Spiritual Energy light wheel that had just formed within his aurasea began to slowly revolve. The Spiritual Energy stored within it was completely drawn out by him. Then, it charged towards the black flames that were heading towards his aurasea without any hesitation.
Chi Chi!
The black flames continued to advance forward. Wherever it passed, the spiritual energy would be completely evaporated. Mu Chen did his best to obstruct it. Although he managed to buy some time, it was evident that he was unable to truly obstruct the Jiu You Sparrow.
In a short span of ten breaths, the black flames had already broken through all of Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy obstruction and appeared outside of his aura sea. The faintly discernible eyes of the Jiu You Sparrow within the black flames seemed to reveal a faint complacency at this moment.
Swish!
With a jolt, the black flames finally rushed into his aurasea under Mu Chen's exceedingly furious gaze. An intense pain of being scorched instantly radiated out, causing Mu Chen's face to slightly distort.
He could see that after the Jiu You Sparrow charged into his aura sea, it directly charged towards the Spiritual Energy light wheel that had just formed. The flames whistled as it attempted to destroy it.
This Spiritual Energy light wheel was condensed from all of Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy. If it were to be destroyed, all of the bitter cultivation that Mu Chen had put in would be wasted in an instant.
Mu Chen's methods were extremely powerless against such an existence. The disparity between them wasn't something that could be easily made up for. Therefore, he could only watch with bloodshot eyes as the Jiu You Sparrow charged towards the Spiritual Energy light wheel.
"I'll fight it out with you!"
At the last moment, Mu Chen finally roared out and was about to self-destruct his Spiritual Energy light wheel. This was the only thing that he could do. Although he would have to pay a huge price, it was still better than having his consciousness erased by the Jiu You Sparrow!
The Spiritual Energy light wheel emitted rays of brilliance as the Spiritual Energy suddenly became exceptionally violent. However, just when Mu Chen was about to fight to the death with the Jiu You Sparrow, a faint sound that sounded like the chime of a bell quietly resounded within his aura sea.
Under this peculiar sound, Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy light wheel, which was on the verge of self-destruction, actually calmed down, bit by bit.
Mu Chen blankly watched this scene. Shortly after, he abruptly looked towards the top of the Spiritual Energy light wheel. There, a thin piece of black paper quietly laid there. That sound seemed to be coming from that paper.
"This …"
Mu Chen wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Ever since he had obtained this mysterious and undetectable piece of black paper, it had always stayed within his body without any effect. Who would have thought that at the most crucial moment, it would suppress the only thing that he could use to fight to the death with the Jiu You Sparrow?
With the Spiritual Energy light wheel suppressed, the black flames formed by the Jiu You Sparrow were already within reach. The black flames caused the Spiritual Energy light wheel within his aura sea to show signs of distortion.
"It's over."
This scene finally caused Mu Chen to sigh in despair.
Boom!
The black flames ferociously approached. However, just when they were about to collide with the Spiritual Energy light wheel, a thin black light screen suddenly descended.
Bang!
The black flames, which had always been successful, were unexpectedly repelled. Within the flames, the faintly discernible Jiu You Sparrow's eyes flashed with a hint of shock.
Mu Chen was stunned at this scene. He hastily shifted his gaze towards the thin piece of black paper. That's because the thin layer of black light screen was extending down from there.
"Buzz buzz."
A peculiar sound that sounded like Sanskrit started to emit from the black paper. On the surface of the black paper, which had always been motionless, dots of dark purple light started to appear.
Whoosh.
As these dots of light appeared, they suddenly shot out and formed into a dark purple light screen, enveloping the black flames formed by the Jiu You Sparrow.
This unforeseen event caused the Jiu You Sparrow to be greatly startled. It hastily slammed against the light screen. However, what caused Mu Chen to be astonished was that the light screen did not even budge a single bit in the face of the Jiu You Sparrow's attack.
The formation of the light screen did not end there. Below the Jiu You Sparrow, dark purple light started to condense. In the end, it spread out and unexpectedly formed into a dark purple Mandala Flower.
The petals of the Mandala Flower seemed to be covered with extremely obscure dark-golden patterns. When the Jiu You Sparrow saw the Mandala Flower, a trace of astonishment flashed across its eyes. In the next moment, it let out a hurried and frightened cry.
The mysterious dark purple Mandala Flower was like a prison, binding the black flames formed by the Jiu You Sparrow. After which, it slowly floated up and landed on the thin piece of black paper.
A mysterious flower prison had completely trapped the Jiu You Sparrow within.
As the Jiu You Sparrow was trapped, the violent turmoil in the Qi Sea gradually calmed down. The black flames also started to recede. In the end, it turned into a miniature Jiu You Sparrow that was only the size of an infant's fist.
It furiously struggled, but it was unable to escape the dark purple Mandala Flower. Hence, it could only gradually stop and slowly close its eyes that were filled with hatred and viciousness. It was preparing to accumulate energy and wait for the next opportunity.
Mu Chen, on the other hand, stared dumbfoundedly at the mystical battle within his aurasea. Only after a long time did he recover from his daze. He stared blankly at the dark purple mandala flower on the thin black paper.
It was settled just like that?
