The God-Devouring Yao Body's innate ability could suppress other physiques from using their own innate abilities. For example, it could suppress the Innate Spiritual Body's Spiritual Body Phantom, as well as the Mo Family's Purple Obsidian Demonic Eyes. That stripped away the advantages of unusual physiques like the Innate Spiritual Body, leaving them with little chance of victory against the God-Devouring Yao Body. They would be defeated and have their bloodlines devoured.
The God-Devouring Yao Body could use its own innate abilities, and no one knew which bloodlines it had devoured or what kinds of secret arts it possessed. That was why cultivators feared it.
"The God-Devouring Yao Body is most helpless in close combat." Ling Tian murmured the words, then his eyes lit up. "That's right. If you can't use your innate abilities, you can only fight at close quarters with your weapons. If you're skilled at close combat, you might be able to defeat the God-Devouring Yao Body. At the very least, you'll have some means of protecting yourself."
"Actually, the God-Devouring Yao Body can only use its innate devouring ability when it's close to a cultivator. In other words, its ability has a very limited range—probably less than a dozen zhang. That distance is ideal for close combat, too." The Black Flood Dragon glanced at Ling Tian. "Of course, the God-Devouring Yao Body can display the innate abilities it has devoured, so ordinary cultivators skilled in close combat definitely won't be a match for it. Only someone at your level has any chance—and even then, just some chance."
"That's right. If the God-Devouring Yao Body devoured someone from my Mo Family and gained the Purple Obsidian Demonic Eyes, then fighting it at close quarters would be tantamount to courting death. Brother Yuan wouldn't stand a chance either."
