"Since I'm going to die anyway, can't Senior Sister tell me the truth?" Xu Zimo asked with a bitter smile.
"You want to die knowing the truth," Huangfu Xian Yue said with a smile.
"Yes." Xu Zimo nodded slightly.
"Very well. For the sake of you saving me at Goddess Peak back then, I'll tell you," Huangfu Xian Yue said.
"There are countless races in this world, standing amidst the great Dao of heaven and earth.

"They can devour members of other races and make their abilities their own.
