Why was the Soul-Devouring Beast race so terrifying? It wasn't just because they were immensely strong and could regenerate at high speed. More importantly, they possessed a unique ability: Soul Deprivation.
The moment a Soul-Devouring Beast opened its mouth, a terrifying suction force would arise. The souls of countless living beings would leave their bodies on their own and rush into its belly, where they would be absorbed and refined.
At the height of their power, the Soul-Devouring Beasts could swallow the souls of every living being on an entire planet with a single gulp. There was no resisting them.
That was exactly what happened when a Soul-Devouring Beast first descended upon the Cloud Sky Realm. With every gulp, it swallowed the souls of an entire city. Even the Demon Kings couldn't stop it, and there was nowhere to run.

That was why surrounding a Soul-Devouring Beast was completely useless. No matter how many cannon fodder charged at it, they would only become food in its belly and provide it with energy.

Their empty husks fell from the sky, crashing
