This was a fully accomplished King, surrounded by almost tangible yin-yang qi and a death aura that could not be concealed.
He wore a Yin-Yang Daoist Robe and had a towering frame, with wrinkles deep enough to crush mosquitoes.
Yet strangely, despite being on the verge of death, he still possessed surging blood energy that blotted out the sky and sun, inspiring dread.
Silver runic halos appeared in Qin Tian's pupils as he discerned the creature's true nature. That seemingly robust body had long since rotted, and indelible resentment mingled with his crimson blood energy.
"So that's it. No wonder a dying man still has his peak fighting strength." A trace of disgust flashed through Qin Tian's eyes.
"How revolting! It seems certain things aren't the exclusive preserve of Supremes."
Within this Great Accomplished King's skull, he saw multitudes of wailing souls. Their indelible resentment surrounded his Immortal Platform, their cries ringing out day and night.
Although he had never seen it before, he had heard of similar scenes.
The Supremes who unleashed Dark Turmoil from the Forbidden Zones had this same resentment surrounding their Immortal Platforms. Even emperor power could hardly erase it.
Only then did Qin Tian realize that devouring the vital essence of living beings to prolong one's lifespan was not exclusive to Supremes.
Both the future Great Accomplished Tyrant Body and the Great Accomplished King before him walked this path.
The Great Demon God in the original story had been the same, slaughtering an entire planet solely for cultivation.
This Great Accomplished King had likewise directly devoured the vitality of millions upon millions of people. The populations of several nations had died at his hands.
Perhaps they had not traveled far along this path, and the numbers they had devoured fell far short of the Supremes'.
