Song Yang instantly noticed something strange about his bound Spirit Beast and was immediately taken aback.
He didn't expect that the newly born Heavenly Mandate Mystic Bird could suppress the Two-Headed Black Serpent purely with its aura.
Eyeing the Mystic Bird hidden in Xu Ke's thick hair, Song Yang's eyes brimmed with greed.

Meanwhile, Xu Ke touched his head, looking utterly confused.
Time continued to slip away, and the strength of Li Fan's transformed Mystic Bird kept growing stronger.
Soon, it approached its first metamorphosis.
Jet-black feathers completely covered its body. Perhaps due to absorbing Xu Ke's destiny since birth, strands of purple-gold laced the ebony plumage.
