Neither Su Su nor Xu Taiping in the loft dared breathe loudly, much less look directly at that eyeball.
But in the end, the pupils within the eyeball merged back into one, then vanished.
It once again became an eye with a white but no pupil.
The destructive aura shrouding the entire ruined temple abruptly dissipated.
"Whew..."
Realizing this, Xu Taiping secretly let out a breath before opening his eyes again.
He happened to see that enormous eye disappearing little by little into the boundless wind and snow.
At the same time, the bone-piercing cold inside the temple, which could penetrate his protective True Qi, was also gradually receding.
"In ancient times, there was a deity named Fei. Human or beast, whoever encountered it would boil and burst apart in death. I truly never imagined we would encounter this legendary deity of Remote Antiquity in this world."
Fairy Lingyue, too, sounded somewhat astonished.
"Shouldn't something like that be a Demonic Beast? How could it be called a deity?"
Besides being astonished, Xu Taiping was deeply puzzled.
"There is no longer any evidence to establish why the ancients revered it as a deity, but in my view, there is still a great difference between it and demons."
"For instance, this Fei's existence is more like a natural phenomenon, much like thunder and rain. Sudden downpours and lightning can both bring disaster, but you couldn't call them demons, could you?"
"The Demonic Beasts of the Nine Abysses are different. Like us humans, they are living beings with consciousness of their own. Their every action has a purpose and follows discernible patterns."
"Moreover, Demonic Beasts have an innate taste for human flesh, whereas those deities of Remote Antiquity have neither affection nor aversion toward humans. They merely act according to the Heavenly Principles.
