Chapter 272 Born from the void and chaos, feeding on souls.
"Boom~!"
After a tremendous roar, the hill was shattered!
"Roar!!!"
On the shattered hill, the enormous Soul-Eating Void Beast let out another deafening roar!
The roar not only made the people who were far away from the hill tremble, but also made them feel a strange sense of unease.
It was as if something was leaping out of the abyss, trying to pull everyone's souls into it.
"Fuck!"
"You all need to calm down!"
"The roar of the Soul-Eating Void Beast is similar to a soul attack spell, which can easily intimidate the souls of others."
"Be careful, your soul might be shaken out of your body!!!"
At this moment, Feng Jiuyou hurriedly shouted to Lin Que and the others!
Upon hearing this, the members of the Qingyun Sect immediately began to circulate their spiritual energy to stabilize their minds, and kept it running continuously, not daring to be careless in the slightest!
Only after the terrifying palpitations deep in their hearts slowly subsided did everyone dare to breathe cautiously.
However, because they had to keep their spiritual energy circulating, everyone looked quite uncomfortable.
After all, everyone was afraid that the terrifying Soul-Eating Beast would let out an even more intimidating roar again, and by then it would be too late to circulate their spiritual energy.
Although they are fine for a short time, as their spiritual energy is gradually depleted, they will eventually be unable to withstand it.
Compared to the others, Lin Que looked completely relaxed, as if nothing had happened, and there was no sign of any spiritual energy fluctuations on his body.
Seeing this, Feng Jiuyou exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, you're actually alright?"
"What happened... Oh! I remember now."
"I almost forgot that you possess the Heaven and Earth Soul Heart Flame, so this young Soul-Eating Void Beast won't affect you."
"You're really lucky, kid. But if you were to encounter a fully grown Soul-Eating Void Beast, even the Heaven and Earth Soul Heart Flame wouldn't be enough to stop it."
As she spoke, Feng Jiuyou suddenly realized something.
That's right. Lin Que wasn't affected at all from the beginning. The moment the roar of the Soul-Eating Void Beast was heard, the Heaven and Earth Soul Heart Flame floating above his Sea of Life automatically started to operate, helping Lin Que resist the attack from the depths of his soul.
"It's quite rare that you would actually help me willingly." At this moment, Lin Que looked inward at the cluster of silver-white flames above his dantian and said with a smile, "Weren't you completely unwilling before?"
"What, you've changed your mind?"
"Hmph!" Tian Di Hun Xin Yan said angrily, "Don't be so narcissistic, nobody wants to help you!"
"I only made a move because I couldn't stand the provocative atmosphere!"
"If I don't intervene, I'll feel insulted!"
Having said that, it ignored Lin Que.
Seeing this, Lin Que had no choice but to withdraw from his dantian and life sea, and touched his nose.
"Heh, how arrogant."
"That's clearly not what this guy really thinks at all..."
"But forget it."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Que turned to Feng Jiuyou and asked, "You said before that this beast is called a Void Beast instead of a Ferocious Beast, right?"
"But what's the difference between the two?"
Upon hearing this, everyone around pricked up their ears to listen, since none of them had ever heard of the term "virtual beast."
It's estimated that not only they, but even cultivators on the outside world's Fengtian Continent have never heard of it.
It's so strange!
Fortunately, Feng Jiuyou did not dampen everyone's curiosity, explaining, "The Void Beast and the Ferocious Beast are not the same species."
“Ferocious beasts are divided into ranks of strength, but void beasts are not!”
"Because each and every one of these Void Beasts is incredibly powerful!"
"And its strength will continue to increase over time."
"And they are all extremely rare!"
"It is said that every Void Beast is born in the void of chaos, and its origin is extremely mysterious!"
"To date, no one has been able to truly understand their specific origins."
"But one thing is clear: every Void Beast possesses an extremely strange innate ability from the moment it is born."
"Just like this Soul-Eating Void Beast in front of us, it can continuously feed on and enhance its own strength by absorbing the souls of any living being."
"Remember! It applies to any living thing!"
After Feng Jiuyou finished explaining, everyone was stunned!
The Soul-Eating Beasts enhance their strength by consuming the souls of living beings, meaning that souls are the resources they need.
Unlike human cultivators or the demons of the Illusionary Demon Continent, they do not need spirit stones containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate.
After all, even ferocious beasts need the help of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve their strength.
No wonder Feng Jiu said that during their secret rendezvous; the Void Beast is truly bizarre!
"Boom!"
While everyone was still in shock, the ground suddenly shook and rumbled violently, like an earthquake!
"Run!!!"
Lin Que, who no longer needed to concentrate on maintaining his spiritual energy, suddenly had his pupils shrink and immediately shouted out!
Immediately afterwards, Lin Que turned around and led the Qingyun Sect members to flee at top speed!
Qin Haotian also grabbed his younger brother Qin Haoyu and ran away as fast as lightning!
In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Lin Que's pace.
Keep in mind that he was also carrying another person, and not only that, he also had to divert some of his spiritual energy to stabilize his mind and prevent it from being disturbed, which shows that his strength is indeed extraordinary.
After all, even some people in the Qingyun Sect had begun to look somewhat solemn, indicating that the exertion must have been enormous.
"Roar!!!"
The roar once again echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
The Soul-Eating Void Beast scanned the fleeing crowd with its large, dark eyes and began to move its massive body toward them.
"Run...run!!!"
"Damn it! How can this Soul-Eating Void Beast be so fast!"
"It looks so bulky!"
"what!!!"
"..."
Upon realizing what was happening, the crowd panicked and fled in all directions when they saw the Soul-Eating Beast rushing towards them.
However, some cultivators who were lagging behind in speed let out miserable screams!
Furthermore, no one dared to look back; everyone was only concerned with escaping and had no time to care about anything else.
The Soul-Eating Void Beast's seemingly clumsy body was running at an astonishingly fast speed!
Not only are they fast, but they also cover a long distance!
Basically, every step you take covers a distance of 100 meters.
In just a few steps, they reached the spot where everyone had been and caught up with some of the cultivators who had fallen behind.
After the cultivator caught up by the Soul-Eating Beast let out a miserable scream, his silver-white soul emerged from his body.
After being devoured by the Soul-Eating Void Beasts, one corpse after another collapsed with a thud!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
"Roar!!!"
The Soul-Eating Beast was clearly not satisfied with this and began to chase after Lin Que and his group.
The roars continued unabated, intensifying the palpitations in everyone's hearts.
With each step the Soul-Eating Beast took, the earth trembled and roared!
"Young...Young Master!!!"
Two cries of anguish rang out, causing Qin Haoyu, who was being held by his brother, to turn his head instantly.
next moment!
Qin Haoyu's eyes were bloodshot!
"Fourth, Fifth!!!"
Two of Qin Haoyu's followers collapsed behind the crowd, lifeless.
In the void, two more of their souls were drifting toward the Soul-Eating Void Beast.
In an instant, it entered its mouth.
"Do not!!!"
