"Stop laughing. We've run into a major problem."
Ying Huaixu said, "Mm, all right!"
Xu Yaoyang hurriedly explained the problem he had just discovered.
They already knew that when members of the Star-Devouring Clan died, the survivors grew stronger.
But Xu Yaoyang had also mentioned that his perception and control of energy had reached an extraordinary level.
After wiping out a city, he had sensed the power drifting out of the dead members of the Star-Devouring Clan converging in one direction.

Xu Yaoyang carefully sensed them for a moment, then shook his head.
"That's the major problem I was talking about."
"Those mountains don't just store the Star-Devouring Clan's power. They're also connected to this world's lifeblood. They're the pillars of this world."

"The only reason I triggered the mountain's attack earlier was that I tried to pry its power loose, which triggered its retaliation mechanism."
Xu Yaoyang even rubbed his brow. "We're
