Chapter 321 - Kicked out of the Hunting War

Screech!

A resonant and clear cry rang across the world as countless gazes looked in shock at the giant black bird that had surfaced from within the torrential black flames across the horizon. As the giant bird unfurled its giant wings that could encompass mountains, black flames surged and swept out, causing the temperature of this stretch of the world to rise even higher.

"The Nine Netherbird..."

Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong looked at each other, noticing the astonishment within each other's eyes, as they mutter, "He is actually able to transform into a Spiritual Beast form even at this level..."

Everyone knew that once one steps into the Spirit Stage, everyone would possess a power, and that was to refine the Soul Essence of Spiritual Beasts. It's exactly this power of the Soul Essence that allowed Spirit Stage experts to possess the might of Spiritual Beasts.

However, from a certain perspective, this kind of possession wasn't eternal, as even the Soul Essence of the Spiritual Beast would one day dissipate. Furthermore, following the increasing strength of the refiner, gradually breaking through from Spirit Stage to Heavenly Fusion Stage and Heavenly Transformation Stage, the power gained from refining the Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence would gradually be replaced.

Naturally, not all of the refined Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence would dissipate. If one was able to reach a considerably high level of fusion with their Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence, the power gained from the Soul Essence would continue to exist. However, for that kind of situation to occur was not simple. After all, a Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence had a natural rejection to mankind. Even though the Spiritual Beast was already killed, its remnant thoughts would still resist this fusion. That is, unless they were willing to get refined. Only if this were to happen would the power from the Soul Essence be able to follow alongside the refiner.

However, with untamed and arrogant Spiritual Beasts, after being killing, would they be willing to be refined?

Therefore, following the increase in strength of people, after breaking through to Heavenly Fusion Stage, Heavenly Transformation Stage and Heavenly Completion Stage, the Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence present within them would gradually dissipate. This kind of power from the Soul Essence would gradually be replaced by an even more powerful strength.

This was the reason why Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong had shown such astonishment when Mu Chen transformed into the shape of the Nine Netherbird, and, in addition, into such a complete form.

"I truly don't know exactly how Mu Chen was able to reach such a point of fusion with the Nine Netherbird's Soul Essence..." Shen Cangsheng smiled in startlement, before saying, "Over these last few years, this is the first time I've seen someone who was able to transform into such a perfect form of the Nine Netherbird."

Li Xuantong slightly nodded his head in approval, as he looked towards the incomparably large Nine Netherbird. At this moment, a complicated expression arose on his face, since the current Mu Chen truly had a monumental change since a number of months ago.

"He's too formidable! He's actually able to transform into such a perfect form of the Nine Netherbird at this moment..."

On the ground, Wang Tong and the rest were also exclaiming in astonishment. All of them had also refined the Soul Essence of Spiritual Beasts that were not weak while they were at the Spirit Stage. However, once they promoted into the Heavenly Transformation Stage, the power from their Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence had seemingly completely dissipated, without even talking about being able to completely transform into such a perfect form of their Spiritual Beasts. In addition, when the power of the Soul Essence was most abundant within their bodies, they were still unable to transform into such a Spiritual Beast form that was as substantial as a living creature.
