The first thing to enter the old man's divine soul's sight was not Qin Fengming, nor Qiongqi, whose massive body radiated the aura of the Spirit Severing realm, but the Soul Devouring Beast, which was only two or three feet in size.
The Soul Devouring Beast possessed a powerful suppressive effect against essence souls and ghostly beings. Once its aura spread out, the old man, who was now nothing more than a divine soul, naturally sensed it immediately.
The terrified old man turned his head, only then facing Qiongqi's massive body and ferocious features.
Once he saw it clearly, his already twisted and distorted face suddenly became even uglier.
"This... This is the Soul Devouring Beast and Qiongqi. You... you... how do you have these two powerful demonic beasts with you?" As the startled words left his mouth, the old man's nearly solidified face seemed to grow unstable from fear.
As an Integration stage cultivator—and a Green Sword cultivator of the Dark Hall at that—the old man's knowledge was naturally extraordinary. He instantly recognized these two demonic beasts, which possessed powerful suppressive abilities against yin souls and ghostly beings.
Now that he existed only as a divine soul, the old man's shock and terror had reached an indescribable level.
He was merely a mid Integration stage cultivator, yet this time he had actually intended to kill such a powerful cultivator. He had truly been courting death.
Qiongqi was one of the four great primordial fiends. When ordinary demonic beasts encountered it, even if there was a vast disparity between their realms, they would inevitably prostrate themselves before Qiongqi. Demonic beasts bold enough to resist could be said to be exceedingly rare. To say nothing of the fact that Qiongqi also possessed a deterrent effect against yin ghosts and Demonic Beasts.
