It merely seemed to be devouring the air, its mouth held open in the shape of an enormous maw.
The other Moon-Eating Demons did the same.
Yet they were still pitch-black at this moment.
After three breaths, changes suddenly began to occur on their bodies. Threads of black dispersed, transforming into silvery white.
At the same time, a chill descended upon the surroundings—black, cold, and merciless.
The White Bone Ridge beneath them also seemed on the verge of some upheaval.
Creak—
A hand that had appeared from nowhere emerged from the void and seized the Demon King at the very front.
The Demon King's mouth was instantly forced shut by that hand, while chains of Spiritual Power coiled around its body in an instant.
Then another hand appeared and stuffed the Demon King into a tiny bottle the size of a palm.
The enormous Demon King was like mist, not stretching the bottle in the slightest before vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the Demon King disappear, the newcomer's gaze fell upon the other Moon-Eating Demons on the ridge. Without the Demon King here to sustain them, they immediately exploded as well.
Strands of white radiance were revealed.
The newcomer extended his hand again and, without hesitation, took away all the white radiance.
The bright moon then emerged from behind the clouds, illuminating the newcomer's face.
It was Lu Qing.
After realizing he had missed the location, he calculated the time again and found that the Moon-Eating Demons were about to appear.
He hurried over at full speed and arrived at the scene just in time.
Faced with the mission target, he naturally captured it without the slightest hesitation.
As for those strands of white radiance, they also counted as Moon Essence power, though they were exceedingly thin.
