Zhou Wen immediately realized what the problem was. Previously, Xia Jiuhuang had a Guardian who had fused with him, taking his body to the Mythical stage. However, Zhou Wen had just killed the Guardian. Without a Guardian, Xia Jiuhuang—who hadn't advanced to the Mythical stage—was only at the Epic stage, and he had nearly been killed by Zhou Wen's saber strike. He was in a weakened state, so the Primordial Spore was able to succeed in such a short period of time.
Once the parasitism succeeded, it could quickly sprout before Xia Jiuhuang really advanced to the Mythical stage, unlike when it parasitized Mythical creatures.
From the information transmitted by the Primordial Spore, it wouldn't take long to completely control Xia Jiuhang.
Zhou Wen was pleasantly surprised. He originally believed that there was only one way to fight to the death, but he never expected that after reaching a dead end, a tiny Primordial Spore would turn the situation around.
