The middle-aged man in black explained casually, and Li Yan's brows knitted even tighter.
"According to you, wouldn't that throw this entire world into chaos?"
"Oh, you are right to think that, fellow Daoist, but I mentioned certain things earlier. In this lower realm, these soul entities can reach only the first tier at most, equivalent to a cultivator at the Qi Condensation Stage.
"They find it difficult to possess cultivators and can usually possess only ordinary mortals. Mortals need exceptional talents to emerge among them, after all, so the benefits would only be greater.
"Second, 'Flame-Soul Nightmare-Devouring Beasts' can survive only inside the Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower. Like the other Demon Beasts in the tower, they cannot leave at all.
"From ancient times to the present, no one has ever heard of a 'Flame-Soul Nightmare-Devouring Beast' escaping the Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower, so what you fear will not happen.
"That is also why many people who enter the Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower for trials learn only how dangerous its Demon Beasts are, rather than studying their origins in detail.
"Since you cannot bring out a single Demon Beast to refine, there is no need to truly understand them.
"If you have visited other parts of the Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower, fellow Daoist, you should know that I speak the truth. Even the Nascent Soul-level creatures inside cannot escape.
"The instant they leave the tower, the power of its laws will destroy them!"
At this point, the middle-aged man in black could not help giving Li Yan a few more looks. He was puzzled too; Li Yan's attitude made it impossible to discern his background.
From his tone, he probably has never been to the Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower. Could he have seen this creature somewhere else?
*That cannot be
