The instant Xiao Qingyu swallowed the black pearl in his hand, his eyes turned blood-red almost immediately.
As blood vessels crawled across them, the veins on his forehead writhed like earthworms, making him look utterly terrifying.
"Oh? He can actually devour other people's mental power and make it his own?" Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes at Xiao Qingyu's technique.
"Although his mental power has grown stronger, it has also become somewhat chaotic and violent. Such a method is bound to have repercussions." Watching Xiao Qingyu's crazed appearance, Lin Langtian murmured.
There was no such thing as power gained for nothing in this world. Xiao Qingyu's method was strange and powerful, but the price he paid was likely no small one.
Mental power differed from Spiritual Power. It contained a person's powerful will, and if it was casually devoured and absorbed, there would be only one outcome: the mental powers would be unable to merge, eventually splitting apart and directly shattering one's mind.
The reason Lin Langtian dared to devour others' mental power was because he possessed the Battle Intent Demon Heart, a "refining vessel," and had cultivated the Mind Devouring Demonic Heart Meditation Method passed down by the Mind Devouring Demon Emperor.
Even so, Lin Langtian did not dare to devour others' mental power as recklessly as Xiao Qingyu.
"Heh heh."
The veins writhed across Xiao Qingyu's forehead, yet he twisted his face into a vicious grin at the solemn-faced Lin Langtian in the distance. The violent mental power in his mind seemed ready to burst his skull apart.
This was the backlash of using such a method.
But no matter the cost, he would kill Lin Langtian here today.
Only by seizing Lin Langtian's mental power could he minimize that cost as much as possible.
"Today, you will die!"
