The Soul-Devouring Demons attacked first.
These Outer Realm Beings fed on Divine Souls, and they drooled over those of Lin Feng and his companions. Like sharks scenting blood, they swarmed forward, lunging from every direction!
The Soul-Devouring Demons had no fixed forms, only masses of grayish-white mist. Countless distorted faces were faintly visible within the mist, howling madly.
Those faces belonged to the beings they had devoured, imprisoned within the mist after death, forever denied rebirth.
Now, all those faces opened their mouths at once and let out soundless screams. Those screams stabbed straight into the soul, making everyone's scalp crawl.
"Be careful! Their attacks target the Divine Soul!" Lin Feng shouted grimly.
Before his words had faded, the hundreds of Soul-Devouring Demons at the forefront unleashed Spirit Piercing simultaneously!
Countless intangible spiritual spikes poured down like a torrential rain! These spikes were neither physical nor energy attacks, but the purest Soul Path attacks, stabbing straight into a cultivator's Sea of Consciousness, impossible to guard against!
Lin Man bore the brunt of the assault. Agony tore through her Sea of Consciousness, and countless horrifying images instantly appeared before her eyes: the Purple Cloud Palace collapsing, Lin Feng falling, Mother Lin dying horribly, and countless Soul-Devouring Demons tearing her apart and devouring her... Those scenes felt so real, as though they were happening right then!
"Get away!" Lin Man bit the tip of her tongue, the sharp pain snapping her back to her senses. Her Purple Crystal Sword swept across, purple qi surging into the sky as she cleaved the charging Soul-Devouring Demons in two!
Yet those severed Soul-Devouring Demons did not die. Their broken bodies writhed in midair, quickly fused back together, and lunged at her again!
"Damn it, can't these things be killed?!" Lin Man cried, shocked and furious.
