Chapter 104: The Fourth Demon Beast
A Lian's gaze condensed, and a strand of spiritual thought extended outwards, wrapping around the Black Eagle Demon Beast. A Lian's spiritual thought had an infinitely similar feeling to Ye Chen's divine soul, only its intensity was still no match for Ye Chen's divine soul.
The soul of the raccoon dog wrapped around the black eagle demon beast, trying to tame it. After a while, it still shook its head in defeat and let out two sad cries.
"Does this Black Eagle Demon Beast already have an owner?" Ye Chen furrowed his brow, generally, a tenth-tier demon beast was still tamable by Ah Li, but if this Black Eagle Demon Beast had an owner, then it wouldn't work.
What's wrong?
Ye Chen still felt a bit unwilling, such a tenth-tier peak Black Eagle, just let it escape like this? Ye Chen thought for a moment, no matter what, he still had to try, to see if he could tame the Black Eagle demon beast.
Divine Soul's aura spread out and locked onto Hei Ying, piercing deep into his mind.
That black eagle seemed to sense something, its body shook violently, and it felt a tremble from the bottom of its heart. If a demon king-level strongman wanted to kill it, he only needed to crush its soul consciousness. It felt the threat of death, but even so, it didn't dare move a single muscle. The deterrent power of the demon king alone had made it completely give up resistance.
After Ye Chen's divine soul entered the Black Eagle's mind, he found that the Black Eagle's soul was also very small, about the size of a child's fist. In terms of intelligence, the Black Eagle may be even lower than the Xun Tian Red Tiger and the Swift Shadow Leopard. The Black Eagle's soul was like a black gas-like sphere, with a thread of blue soul attached to the edge of this black gas-like sphere. This thread of blue soul did not belong to the Black Eagle, and it was estimated to be the soul of the Black Eagle's master.
Ye Chen had just investigated and found that the strongest demonic beasts and mysterious beasts outside were only at the peak of the 10th rank. The master of this black eagle should be a 10th-rank mysterious beast.
How can I separate that blue soul from it and attach my own divine soul to it? Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, the soul is a very mysterious thing, if not careful, when separating the blue soul, it will affect the black eagle's own soul, this black eagle's intelligence will be destroyed, becoming a fool who has no wisdom and won't listen to commands, in that case, even if I control this black eagle, it would be meaningless.
It's essential to separate the blue soul from the Black Eagle without affecting its own soul!
After thinking for half a day, Ye Chen still couldn't think of a solution and fell into deep thought. He realized that his understanding of the divine soul and soul intent was still too limited, and many uses were discovered through his own exploration. If he had access to ancient tomes passed down through generations of Xuan beasts on cultivating soul intent, it would be much better. Unfortunately, the demonic cultivation scripture in Ah Lian's hands was unreadable to him. Would he have to learn the script of the Xuan beasts and demons in the future?
Thinking like this is unclear, only personal experimentation will do, but if the experiment fails, this black eagle will be ruined!
But there is no other good way!
Wait a minute, Ye Chen had an epiphany and slapped his forehead. Why was he so stupid? Why did he need to separate that blue soul thread? Could he try to swallow it instead?
Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile to himself. He withdrew a thread from his own divine soul and wrapped it around the blue soul thought. The blue soul thought seemed to sense danger and struggled, but was tightly bound by Ye Chen's divine soul, unable to move at all. Gradually, Ye Chen's divine soul began to slowly erode that blue soul thought, the blue soul thought dissolving bit by bit, merging into Ye Chen's divine soul. The spiritual energy within the blue soul thought was also absorbed by Ye Chen's divine soul.
After a brief moment, the blue soul had vanished without a trace, completely absorbed by Ye Chen's divine soul. Throughout this process, the Black Eagle's own soul was not affected in the slightest. Ye Chen attached a strand of his soul to the Black Eagle's soul.
Mission accomplished!
Ye Chen smiled slightly, and his divine soul returned. The black eagle stood still, trembling with fear, realizing that it had changed masters. It flapped its wings and flew up, heading towards the center of the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Outside the Spirit Gathering Formation, a blue eagle-like beast's face changed greatly. The connection between it and the Black Eagle had been severed, and the remaining soul thread in the Black Eagle's body was unexpectedly swallowed by an unknown powerful being, causing its own soul to suffer a slight impact. According to the last message transmitted by the Black Eagle, there was actually a Demon King-level expert at the center of the Spirit Gathering Formation! It couldn't understand why a Demon King-level expert would appear here. Wasn't this place restricted, where even Earth Master-level or higher demonic beasts and mysterious beasts, as well as Earth Venerable-level or higher human experts, couldn't enter? Why would a Demon King-level expert be interested in this Spirit Gathering Formation?
These problems are incomprehensible no matter how hard they think, and it's laughable that they've been constantly attacking the Spirit Gathering Array, wanting to get inside. If they knew there was a demon king in the center of the array, I estimate that neither demonic beasts, mysterious beasts, nor human strongmen would dare to stay nearby.
"Gentlemen, brothers, I'll take my leave first!" The owl flapped its wings and flew away, escaping into the distance.
"What's wrong with this kid? He says he's leaving and then just leaves."
"I don't understand either, let's just forget it." Some leopards, lions and other beasts were discussing.
That owl was selfish and knew the danger here, so it ran away first, without explaining to the other mysterious beasts. In its view, even if the other mysterious beasts died, it had nothing to do with it. If they died, it would be better for it to seize their property. The wisdom of the mysterious beasts is not inferior to that of humans, and naturally there are also these intrigues and struggles. In comparison, the intelligence of the monster is lower, and its thinking is simpler.
The black eagle landed on a stone in the center of the magic array. Without Ye Chen's command, it did not dare to step into the golden circle at the center of the magic array.
Is this the fourth demon beast you've tamed?
Ye Chen secretly suspected that perhaps the Xun Xun had already died, so this black eagle was still the third demon beast. After thinking about it, he felt that it wasn't right, as before entering the underground Crystal Palace, he had given Xun Xun a final order to escort Yin Mung Tian and others out of the place and then hide somewhere. If Xun Xun were dead, his own divine soul should have suffered some damage, but recently he hadn't felt anything, which meant that Xun Xun was still alive.
Could it be that his own divine soul was different from others, and unlike the mysterious beast which could only subdue three demon beasts, he could subdue even more?
This black eagle is a top-notch ten-tiered demon beast, and with such a demon beast, it can even win against Qiu Yu. If I encounter Qiu Yu again, I must let him taste the power of a top-notch ten-tiered demon beast! Thinking about this, Ye Chen's heart couldn't help but burn with excitement. If he could tame more, wouldn't he be able to build an army of demon beasts?
Because of his special soul, Ye Chen didn't know how many demon beasts he could tame either. As long as there was an opportunity, Ye Chen decided to give it a try and see just how many demon beasts he could recruit.
Seeing the black eagle land on the rock beside him, Ali looked at Ye Chen in surprise. Ye Chen had actually managed to tame a fourth demon beast, and this one was even stolen from someone else's hands, which completely exceeded his understanding.
