"No!!"

"You damned old beast!!"

As Fire Cloud Old Ghost occupied most of his mind and began to devour his soul source bit by bit, Xiao Ren's voice echoed hysterically.

No matter how he struggled and screamed, he couldn't escape the fate of being devoured.

This filled Xiao Ren's heart with unprecedented despair and a terrifying will to survive.

"Hahaha, boy, don't blame me for being ruthless. You can only blame yourself for being too tempting."

"Not only does your physical body have a high compatibility with my sacred soul, but even your physique and root bones are top-notch. If I don't seize your body, it would be a waste of a treasure!"

The more Xiao Ren struggled in his dying moments, the more excited Fire Cloud Old Ghost became.

As long as he could obtain Xiao Ren's body, he could recover all his losses today!

With those final words, Fire Cloud Old Ghost stopped delaying. The power of his sacred soul surged into the depths of Xiao Ren's mind, intending to obliterate his soul source.

But just then, a sudden change occurred!

Xiao Ren let out a terrifying shriek, and a strange black aura surged from the depths of his mind, carrying an evil presence as it counterattacked Fire Cloud Old Ghost.

Such a situation.

Terrified Fire Cloud Old Ghost.

"This is... Soul Devour?!"

"Impossible!!"

"How could you have a Soul Devour physique?!"

Seeing the mind transform into a deep abyss, continuously devouring the soul power he spread within, Fire Cloud Old Ghost was truly frightened at this moment.

Soul Devour!

One of the most terrifying soul physiques in all the heavens and realms, possessing an indestructible soul regeneration ability, capable of devouring and seizing other beings, and even immune to some soul attack methods.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ren not only possessed the Supreme Bone but also hid such a soul physique.

This is just insane!

"Hahaha, if you hadn't pushed me to the brink of life and death, I wouldn't have known I had a Soul Devour physique!!"

Amidst Fire Cloud Old Ghost's horror.

Xiao Ren's soul body, like a vengeful ghost, rushed out from the depths of his mind, devouring most of Fire Cloud Old Ghost's sacred soul power in a short time.

This made Fire Cloud Old Ghost reveal a terrifying killing intent.

"Boy, even if you have a Soul Devour physique, so what?"

"My true body is still outside. As long as I move a finger, you will be reduced to ashes in an instant!"

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Seeing Xiao Ren regain control of his mind, Fire Cloud Old Ghost shouted with a gloomy face.

Outside the mind.

Fire Cloud Old Ghost's true body also opened its eyes, a terrifying aura locking onto Xiao Ren.

The power of the Saint King filled the cave, ready to obliterate Xiao Ren at any moment.

"Hahaha, I advise you, Ancestor, not to act rashly. After my soul transformed into a Soul Devour, this mind has completely become a prison."

"Although your true body has the power to easily obliterate me, I can also perish together with this wisp of your soul."

"Ancestor, you are already short on lifespan. You just destroyed a wisp of Saint King intent, and your sacred soul is already in a weakened state."

"This wisp of soul was cut from your soul source. Once it falls, your soul source will suffer a terrible backlash."

"Enough to cost you more than half of your lifespan."

"By then, not only will you fail to seize my body, but you will also accelerate your own demise!"

After Fire Cloud Old Ghost's words fell, Xiao Ren's soul body laughed wildly.

This made Fire Cloud Old Ghost's expression particularly gloomy.

"What do you want?!"

After a moment of silence, Fire Cloud Old Ghost shouted.

Since Xiao Ren didn't continue devouring, but instead stopped to negotiate with him.

That proves the other party hasn't truly lost his mind.

"Very simple..."

"I want you, Ancestor, to leave this wisp of soul thought in my mind and help me forge the most perfect Supreme Physique."

"As a return..."

"When I suppress Xiao Ming in the future and devour his soul source, I will help you seize his body."

"After all, Soul Devour can modify the compatibility of a body after seizing it, making it more suitable for other soul bodies to seize!"

After Fire Cloud Old Ghost's words fell, Xiao Ren spoke with a sinister tone, plunging Fire Cloud Old Ghost into silence.

"Fine, I agree."

"But if you dare deceive me or harbor any ill intentions, I will crush you to dust even if I have to abandon this wisp of soul!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Fire Cloud Old Ghost could only choose to step back.

"Thank you, Ancestor."

"Hahaha, heaven hasn't abandoned me, Xiao Ren. I am indeed a man of destiny!!"

"Xiao Ming, the shame and pain you made me bear, I will make you repay it all!!"

"Jiejiejie..."

After Fire Cloud Old Ghost compromised, Xiao Ren laughed maniacally like a madman, his laughter becoming increasingly twisted.

As a Soul Devour.

In the upcoming Ghost Fiend Secret Realm, he would have an unparalleled advantage. He didn't believe he couldn't deal with that dear brother!

…………

Back at Fuyou Sacred Land.

With his body turning into a stream of light, Xiao Ming successfully landed on Moonwatch Peak.

"What a fiery temper..."

"Could that woman be jealous?"

Thinking of what happened earlier at Jade Maiden Peak, a trace of frustration appeared on Xiao Ming's face.

He had intended to have a good time with Su Qingyue, but was unexpectedly driven out by Ling Ruoxuan.

"But then again, this woman shouldn't bully the weak and give Qingyue a hard time, right?"

Thinking of this.

Xiao Ming's brows slightly furrowed, and a trace of worry appeared on his face. He immediately wanted to return to Jade Maiden Peak.

But at that moment.

The communication jade pendant at his waist lit up slightly, and a brief message entered his mind.

[Xiao Ming brother, the Peak Master plans to personally guide my cultivation and help me develop the Taiyin Sacred Spirit Vein. I will be in seclusion for a while and will meet you again when the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm opens.]

Seeing the message from Su Qingyue, Xiao Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed.

His worries were unnecessary.

Although Ling Ruoxuan had a fiery temper and indeed had a relationship with him.

She was still a reasonable person.

She wouldn't take it out on Su Qingyue because of this.

"Why did you come back so quickly?"

"Were you driven back by your childhood fiancée, or were you thrown out by the Peak Master of Jade Maiden Peak?"

As Xiao Ming's thoughts turned.

Feng Xianhuang's voice suddenly rang out, making Xiao Ming turn around involuntarily.

Only then did he realize...

This Empress junior sister had somehow appeared beside him.

However, her expression was no longer as warm as before, just a bit proud and mocking as she looked at him.

"What do you mean by 'come back'?"

"Watch your words, don't forget... I am your senior brother!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ming's mouth twitched slightly, correcting her with some displeasure.

But the next moment, his eyes narrowed, looking at Feng Xianhuang with curiosity.

"Do you know Qingyue?"

Recalling how, earlier in the sky above the mountain gate, Feng Xianhuang had thrown him down, landing right in front of Su Qingyue.

Thinking back now, he couldn't help but suspect that Feng Xianhuang had done it on purpose.

"I don't know her, just heard of her..."

Feng Xianhuang's eyes flickered as she replied somewhat insincerely.

In her previous life.

After she joined Fuyou Sacred Land, there weren't many geniuses who could match her, and Su Qingyue happened to be one of them.

Not only did she initially give her some pressure, but later became Ling Ruoxuan's personal disciple, developing the Taiyin Sacred Spirit Vein to its fullest.

With extraordinary talent, she became the Saintess of Jade Maiden Peak, even obtaining the Five-Colored Fiend Body Tempering in the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm.

Becoming a renowned genius in the Northern Profound Realm, she had crossed paths with Su Qingyue several times.

But she hadn't expected.

In the subsequent Eastern Region Genius Battle, Su Qingyue insisted on fighting Xiao Ren, ultimately dying at his hands.

At that time, she was quite puzzled...

Why did Su Qingyue harbor such hatred for Xiao Ren, willing to die just to severely injure him in the genius battle?

Now she understood, it was all because of this guy in front of her, who had died at Xiao Ren's hands long ago.

So regarding Su Qingyue.

Feng Xianhuang still had some fondness, as she was her opponent in her past life and one of her few friends.

"By the way, there's something I want to discuss with you, and I hope you can agree!"

Suppressing the memories in her mind.

Feng Xianhuang didn't dwell on the topic, instead looking at Xiao Ming with a serious expression.

This made Xiao Ming's eyes narrow, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

This woman...

Could she be after his cultivation techniques again?
