Permanent Martial Arts

"He's dead!"

Lin Feng glanced at Dongfang Sheng, who had turned into a dried corpse. This was his true size. As for his appearance as Dongfang Sheng, perhaps it was some kind of miraculous transformation technique, just like the Tidal Combat Body that Lin Feng cultivated. If he was willing to study the arrangement of cells, it would not be that difficult to transform into a person.

"Sage Lin Feng, what kind of anomaly is this Dongfang Sheng?"

Sage Kang walked over. Although the Divine Kingdom of him and the other seven Sages had been torn apart, they were ultimately fine. They would recover after a period of rest.

However, the eight Sages were all a little nervous about a terrifying "anomaly" like Dongfang Sheng.

If not for Lin Feng, the consequences would be unthinkable!

"I don't know, but he's a lifeform, a genuine lifeform! It's just that he's not human. He seems a bit like a greater demon, but he far surpasses those demon emperors."

Lin Feng frowned slightly as well.

This Dongfang Sheng was very, very strong, ridiculously so. If one really had to make a comparison, perhaps only Sages with five life transitions were comparable to him.

If not for the fact that Lin Feng possessed the Spear of Destruction and could temporarily utilize a little of the annihilative power in it, it was still unknown who would have won.

However, although Dongfang Sheng was strong and almost invincible aside from when facing Lin Feng, this bit of strength was far from enough if Dongfang Sheng intended to launch the Armageddon.

What was Armageddon?

It was the destruction of the entire world in an instant. Even Dongfang Sheng could not destroy all of humanity in a very short period of time.

Hence, Dongfang Sheng did not have the ability to launch the Armageddon at all.

"I think I've seen Dongfang Sheng's final words somewhere before."

Suddenly, Sage Yuanyi's expression became a little solemn, as if he was carefully recalling something.

"You've heard of it?"

All the Sages looked at Sage Yuanyi, and Lin Feng was no exception.

"'The clarion call for Armageddon has been sounded. The doomsday of civilization is imminent.' Yes, those are the words. I have indeed seen them before. Sage Kang, you should have seen it too. Do you remember? A hundred years ago, when we explored the Black Wind Canyon together, we once saw an ancient stone tablet. Weren't those the mottled words on it?"

"The writing in the Black Wind Canyon?"

Sage Kang's eyes suddenly widened, as if he found it unbelievable.

"That's right. I remember that it was a stone tablet we encountered along the way. The writing on it happened to be the writing of an ancient civilization we once discovered. Translated, this is the sentence! Could this anomaly be related to the Black Wind Canyon?"

At this thought, all the Sages' expressions became very solemn.

The Black Wind Canyon could be considered the most dangerous of the Four Forbidden Places. Otherwise, Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi would not be presiding over it.

Sage Kang deduced that there was a horrifying power in the Black Wind Canyon that even demon emperors had to bow to. If Dongfang Sheng was really related to the Black Wind Canyon, it wouldn't be difficult to understand.

"Black Wind Canyon…" Lin Feng muttered softly, committing this name to memory.

"There's no need to make superfluous speculations. This anomaly must have already impersonated Dongfang Sheng when he was very young. Sages, you can investigate Dongfang Sheng's detailed experiences since he was young. Perhaps you can discover something unusual."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

"That's right. We have to investigate carefully!"

"It's not just Dongfang Sheng. There's also the Night Devil organization. Even if Dongfang Sheng is dead, the Night Devil organization might be rekindled. We have to strike!"

"It's all thanks to Sage Lin Feng this time. We will definitely give Sage Lin Feng an explanation for what happened to Batai previously!"

Many Sages also made up their minds that the status quo could not be maintained.

Hence, the Sages bade farewell one after another. They still had to return to guard the regions. Otherwise, if any demon emperors really stirred chaos, it would be a problem.

With the departure of the Sages, only Lin Feng and the Invincible Fist Sage were left in the Myriad Academy.

They looked at the surrounding ruins. Not only was the Myriad Academy in ruins, the surrounding area of several kilometers was also in ruins. The casualties had already exceeded 100,000.

In a battle between Sages, be it martial artists or ordinary people, they were all as insignificant as ants and had no ability to protect themselves at all.

This was even after Lin Feng had ended the battle quickly. If the delay had been longer, the casualties would probably have exceeded this number.

"Dean, the Myriad Academy has been destroyed."

Lin Feng was also a little apologetic. His battle with Dongfang Sheng was so intensive that he could spare no thought for anything else, causing the entire Myriad Academy to be reduced to ruins.

Fortunately, most of the students had already been evacuated. Otherwise, the losses would be even heavier.

Everything on Dongfang Sheng had been searched, except for a communicator. Moreover, all the valuable information had been deleted. Dongfang Sheng seemed to be an enigma. He had appeared out of nowhere and was hidden among humanity. He was so well-concealed that even eight Sages were not his match.

Beep.

Suddenly, Lin Feng's communicator received a message. His communicator was Sage Batai's communicator, which he was using for the time being. Only the other seven Sages knew about it now.

This message was from Sage Kang, attached with information on Dongfang Sheng from the investigation.

The five major factions' influence covered the entire human society. They might not have an objective in the beginning, but now that they had confirmed that there was a problem with Dongfang Sheng, all the information about Dongfang Sheng since he was young had been investigated thoroughly.

Lin Feng read it very carefully, not missing a single piece of information.

From the time Dongfang Sheng was born to the age of three, there did not seem to be anything unusual about him. However, after the age of three, Lin Feng discovered a small detail.

When Dongfang Sheng was about three and a half years old, Dongfang Sheng followed his parents to the amusement park, but disappeared for half an hour.

In the end, they found Dongfang Sheng standing in front of the snack stall, wanting to have ice cream.

Without much thought, many did not find anything wrong with it. It was just half an hour. Wasn't it normal for a child to get lost for a while?

However, this was the most abnormal thing. Dongfang Sheng's parents were both Metamorphic Realm martial artists who had broken the genetic lock. How could they have lost Dongfang Sheng in the crowd for as long as half an hour?

Ever since this incident, Dongfang Sheng had gradually risen to prominence. He had even awakened some innate abilities, which surprised Dongfang Sheng's parents. From then on, everything went smoothly for him, and he became a martial genius.

Lin Feng could even be certain that during the half an hour that Dongfang Sheng got lost when he was three years old, he might have already been switched by the anomaly. The real Dongfang Sheng might very well be long dead.

Then, this anomaly replaced Dongfang Sheng and lived in the name of "Dongfang Sheng". During this period, it even established the Night Devil to constantly collect intelligence on humans.

However, Lin Feng knew very well that this anomaly's strength had long surpassed that of human Sages. If it wanted to destroy humanity, it might not be able to do so in a short period of time, but it could still kill all the Sages and disrupt human cities.

Why didn't he do that?

Even before Lin Feng found the anomaly, it did not show signs of launching the Armageddon.

All of this seemed to have become a difficult mystery with the death of "Dongfang Sheng".

"Longbetham, don't you have something you want to tell me?"

Lin Feng closed his eyes slightly. All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.

In the end, Lin Feng homed in on Longbetham! Perhaps the others had no clue, but Longbetham definitely knew something.
