Soul Devourer could now be considered a Self-Created Soul Skill that Mu Qian had developed from his Soul Bone Skill.

The soul energy devoured by Soul Devourer could even replenish the Spiritual Power he had spent.

A ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Beast might have enough Soul Power to resist for a moment.
Most importantly, choosing a silent attack method let him hide his strength from the others.
"What..." Xu Kun and the other two turned at the commotion behind them and stared in utter shock.
Everything had happened too quickly. Xu Kun had only just heard Mu Qian's earlier words and assumed he had decided to help them escape.

There was no one else here. He didn't believe that terrifying Spirit Beast could have died on its own.
And given what Mu Qian had said earlier, there was no other
