Chapter 586 (2/2)

Staring at their leaving figures, Mu Chen felt relieved. The paleness that he had been suppressing on his face spread out as his figure staggered a little involuntarily.

When his body staggered, Luo Li quickly supported Mu Chen’s arm. When Wen Qingxuan saw Luo Li’s reaction, she quietly withdrew her hand that was extending forth. A charming smile surfaced on her face as she teased, “So you are just forcefully holding yourself up.”

“Truly Ji Xuan.” Mu Chen said with a soft voice as he continued, “If the battle went on, it would be tough to end it.”

He had exhausted too much of his Spiritual Energy. If they were to carry on fighting, he would have to start fighting for his life. After all, Ji Xuan was powerful.

“You don’t have to undervalue yourself. Ji Xuan didn’t look that good in your battle as well since he was forced to reveal some of his hidden cards during the last attack. Otherwise…” Wen Qingxuan replied.

Luo Li nodded her head at Wen Qingxuan’s words. The two earth-shattering attacks from Mu Chen could be called perfect. One was revealed, while the other was hidden away, the timing was excellent as well. If it wasn’t for that primordial hawk’s cry, Ji Xuan would definitely be heavily injured.

“Ji Xuan had concealed his genuine trump card.” Mu Chen said slowly as his black pupils flickered with a chill. He had heard the primordial hawk’s cry as well, sensing an indescribable danger coming from it at the same time. The danger that he felt far surpassed all those he had faced so far in his generation.

Luo Li pondered for a brief moment, before speaking up, “If I am not wrong, there’s a high chance that the cry was from the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, Ranked 8 of the Myriad Beast Record.”

“Primordial Skydragon Hawk?”

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes at Luo Li’s words as his gaze was a little shaken. No wonder there were movements from the egg of the Nine Netherbird. So that hawk cry actually had such a shocking origin.

The Primordial Skydragon Hawk was Ranked 8 of the Myriad Beast Record, three ranks higher compared to the Nine Netherbird. In the Great Thousand World, the Primordial Skydragon Hawk possessed resounding fame. It was a powerful beast compared to the rest. Even Sovereign Realm experts would be afraid to provoke it.

“Could it be that Ji Xuan had ingested the Primordial Skydragon Hawk’s Soul Essence in the past?” Mu Chen muttered to himself as his gaze flickered.

In the Spirit Stage of the Spiritual Energy cultivation path, one had the ability to ingest the Soul Essence of a Spiritual Beast. However, there was a limit to the Soul Essence. After all, when one gets stronger, the Soul Essence that one had refined before would gradually lose its effect. Thus, many people who had refined Soul Essences have all lost their effect when they grew stronger.

However, it wasn’t an absolute situation… when the Soul Essence that one had refined was powerful to an extent, the power would still be present, becoming a powerful method for cultivators.

Take Mu Chen’s Nine Netherbird for example…

If Ji Xuan possessed that sort of strength, he should have refined a powerful Spiritual Beast’s Soul Essence when he was in Spirit Stage. For example… the powerful Primordial Skydragon Hawk.

Naturally, with his strength at Spirit Stage, it was absolutely impossible for him to refine a Primordial Skydragon Hawk with his own strength, just like how it was impossible for Mu Chen to refine the Nine Netherbird. Thus, there should be a powerful expert that had aided him.

Ji Xuan’s background must be rather complicated.

“That’s highly possible.” Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan nodded their heads with heavy expressions. If that was the case, then the difficulty of handling Ji Xuan would without a doubt increase.

Mu Chen breathed out a mouthful of air as his gaze became a little shaken. However, there wasn’t any fear in his eyes. After all, even if Ji Xuan possessed the Soul Essence of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, he possessed the power of Nine Netherbird as well.

Furthermore, he had a Bloodlink Bond with the Nine Netherbird, the both of them were similar to a single body. So Mu Chen would be more perfect at fusing with the power of the Nine Netherbird.

Certainly, the Primordial Skydragon Hawk was ranked higher compared to the Nine Netherbird. However, that doesn’t mean that it was more powerful compared to the Nine Netherbird. After all, when Spiritual Beasts reached that level, it would be hard for them to differentiate their levels when they fight.

The most crucial point was that Nine Nether… was no longer a Spiritual Beast as she had successfully evolved into the Nine Netherworld Bird. Rising to the levels of Divine Beasts. The instant she awakens, she would possess strength comparable to Sovereign Realm!

“How interesting.”

Mu Chen pursed his lips as he smiled. He looked at the direction that Ji Xuan had left as a chill flickered in his eyes, before turning around and left for the opposite direction with a wave of his hand.

Seeing his action from below, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the rest followed behind him.

Ji Xuan, let us see who will have the stronger trump card in the upcoming finals.

No matter what… I will beat you this time!

Let the grudges from the Spiritual Road end once and for all in the finals!
