Feng Hao was incomparably shocked. The appearance of the Soul Bead was the key to the appearance of the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan. He couldn't believe it.
"That's right. A long time ago, there was a rumor that the Soul Bead could grant one immortality. Even in the True Martial Continent of the past, there were countless experts who wanted to obtain the Soul Bead," the Scholar said calmly.
"Later on, when the Soul Bead truly appeared, there were experts who wanted to refine the Soul Bead in an attempt to obtain immortality. However, no one succeeded, which led to a truly terrifying disaster."
"Due to the appearance of the Spirit Orb, spatial nodes have appeared in many places in the True Martial Continent at the same time. An endless blackness has appeared within them. It's a black world that can even devour space itself. The entire True Martial Continent has fallen into a state of panic."
"Is that the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan?" Feng Hao narrowed his eyes. It turned out that the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan had already appeared in the True Martial Continent a long time ago. This was no coincidence.
"That's right. It was the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan that appeared at that time. Because the True Martial Continent is a world created by humans, it wasn't formed by heaven and earth. Therefore, the space in many places is very weak and is connected to other places. I believe you know this."
Feng Hao nodded. It was probably because of this that he and Huangfu Wushuang could unintentionally come to the True Martial Continent. Otherwise, who would know that the True Martial Continent still existed in the Penglai World?
"When the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan first appeared, we didn't realize that it had something to do with the Soul Bead. However, the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan was too difficult to deal with. At that time, the experts of the Daoist Temple and the Academy joined forces to fight against the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan. As for the Soul Bead, it was constantly passed between the top experts."
"The Darkness Heart Devourer Clan won't spread to whoever has the Soul Bead, right?" Feng Hao's expression turned grim. If that was the case, then wouldn't he be the target of the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan?
The Scholar looked at Feng Hao and nodded. This point hadn't been discovered at first, but as the Soul Bead kept changing owners, the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan's target also kept changing.
"Then how did you discover that the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan's target was the Soul Bead?" Feng Hao asked in puzz.
"After that, there were too many killings because of the Spiritual Bead. Countless powerhouses lost their lives. In the end, the Academy and the Taoist temple decided to seal the Spiritual Bead in the ruins, which is where you encountered the Spiritual Bead." The Master of Calligrapher said expressionlessly, "But no one would have thought that the Dark Heart Devouring Clan would actually target the ruins."
"It was only then that I remembered that the Spirit Bead contained the power to grant longevity, and what the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan needed was that endless vitality."
Feng Hao's face turned grave. Previously, a single Spiritual Bead had appeared in the True Martial Continent. Now, he had three Spiritual Beads with him. The Darkness Heart Devourer Clan must have a way to sense the existence of the Spiritual Beads.
"Then how did you repel the Darkness Heart Devouring Race back then?" Fenghao continued to ask. There must be a way to repel the Darkness Heart Devouring Race back then.
"That's because a Great Emperor-level powerhouse awakened from the ruins. That's why the Dark Heart Eater Clan was forced to retreat," the Calligrapher said helplessly.
"Great Emperor? There are no Great Emperors in the True Martial Continent." Feng Hao was stunned.
"They are Great Emperors who have survived since ancient times. Their cultivation is suppressed to the realm of half-step Great Emperor. There are no Great Emperors in the True Martial Continent," the Scholar said helplessly.
To break the imprisonment of the Heavenly Way, unless someone broke through and became an Emperor, such an expert could only exert the power of half-step Great Emperor.
"Speaking of which, do such experts still exist in the True Martial Continent?" Fenghao suddenly asked. Perhaps the academy and the Taoist temple weren't the only two colossi in the Zhenwu Continent that had top-notch experts. It was very likely that some of them had survived. After all, a Great Emperor wouldn't die so easily.
"There were experts in the Academy in the past, but they all died in the battle against the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan. The situation in the Taoist temple is similar." The Sage of Calligrapher pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "However, there must be a group of experts who have survived in this world. It's just that they are either living in seclusion or have turned into ordinary people. It's not easy to detect them."
"Even if there are, I am afraid that they will not attack so easily." After a brief pondering, Fenghao had also figured out the crux of the problem. He clearly knew how terrifying the Darkness Heart Devouring Clan was. If it wasn't for the fact that he had refined the Spiritual Pearl and could use the boundless vitality, it would be impossible for him to deal with the Darkness Heart Devouring Clan.
"If I am not wrong, the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan will follow the aura of the Spirit Bead in about seven days and then follow you to the Academy." The Scholar glanced at Feng Hao and said, "I have already sent people to arrange the evacuation of all the cities between the Illusion Swamp and the Academy. I hope to reduce the casualties as much as possible."
"So fast." Feng Hao frowned and said, "If we cannot find a way to suppress the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan in a short period of time, I am afraid the consequences will be very bad."
"Currently, there is no way, unless the Taoist temple and the Academy join forces and take out their respective Emperor Weapons to force the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan back and seal the spatial node again," the Scholar said expressionlessly. The Scholar said expressionlessly. This damn Dao Saint wasn't willing to work together because he wanted the College to hand Fenghao over.
"Dao Saint, that old bastard, is really scheming. In order to get rid of me, he is willing to sacrifice so many innocent lives in the True Martial Continent." Feng Hao gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
"The people from the Taoist temple have always been like this. They are just pretending to be merciful." The Scholar said disdainfully. However, after thinking about it carefully, he solemnly said, "Fenghao, the Darkness Heart Devourer Clan will appear in seven days. At that time, the academy will not be able to stop them. However, if you take action, it will be different. Therefore, I hope that you can lend us a hand."
When Feng Hao heard his words, he immediately laughed heartily and said, "Senior Calligrapher, if we were to talk about it, this matter is because of me. The Spiritual Bead is behind me, how can I run away irresponsibly? Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."
