At death's door!
Compared to the sword light and net from back then, this "he" was countless times more terrifying, countless times more vicious!
How terrifying was an existence that fed on Celestial Venerables?
The Celestial Venerables recorded in the Mirage Note, each reduced to nothing but a pool of filthy blood, were the best proof.
Li Yu could already imagine the scene in his mind!
An unknown colossal beast opened its jaws and swallowed, its giant teeth biting down. A Celestial Venerable was devoured without the slightest ability to resist, leaving behind only a pool of filthy blood.
