Chapter 2026: Shattered Star River, Encountering the Devouri

een loyal and dedicated to their duty.And just then, a voice as clear and cool as heaven rang out."The Meng family team."All eyes turned to look, their expressions suddenly strange.Ling Yuan was actua...The Three Emperors' Barrier, Dongling Pass.

After several months of calm.

Suddenly...

A mournful trumpet sounded.

That was a summons before the war came.

Some talented individuals, who were meditating and sitting in quiet contemplation, suddenly opened their eyes at the sound. They were visibly startled.

That expression held surprise, but more so, excitement and eagerness.

"Another war Perfect timing for more training!"

"It seems the Chi clan can't stand being lonely anymore, well then, it seems the lesson wasn't deep enough."

If this had happened before, these prodigies' emotions would have surely been a mix of tension, worry, and unease.

However, after the bloody battle of Tianjiao, they all gained growth and tempering.

Of course, the most important reason is still because of Jun Xiaoyao.

With such a being who can slay quasi-emperors as their core and stabilizer, what are they afraid of

With big shots leading the way, they can be much safer.

Soon, a group of prodigies were gathered in a square.

Jun Xiaoyao and others naturally came as well.

In the center of the square, an old man with a solemn expression stood there, his brows furrowed in deep thought.

He looked around at the peerless talents present and spoke.

"The reason I called you all here, as you should already know, is that the Black Plague Clan's presence has appeared once more."

"Well, well. The Chi clan are just as stubborn as ever, aren't they"

"Well, it seems like last time didn't teach you a lesson. You want to keep getting hurt"

“This time, even if the geniuses on the bounty list appear, we're still not afraid.”

All the young talents present spoke with fervor, their fighting spirit high and morale boosted.

However, the next thing Lao Su said made the entire room fall silent.

"This appearing black calamity clan is unrelated to the Bā clan."

"What..."

Many prodigies were stunned.

They came to the Three Emperors Barrier for training, encountering only the Soul-Devouring Demons and the Banshee Clan.

So when they heard Elder Su's words, some of the prodigies were instinctively a little dumbfounded.

However, they also know that the Black Disaster race is called a race not only because of the Barren Tribe.

The Bā clan was one of the most prominent clans among the Hēihuò people.

but it's just one of them.

"Senior… you mean…"

A prodigy suddenly felt a twinge of unease and tentatively asked.

"Yes, an exploration team found traces of another type of Black Calamity clan in a region called Shattered Starstream in the uninhabited zone."

That is... the Devourer race!

"Devourers!"

All the talented individuals present shivered with a mixture of familiarity and strangeness when they heard this familiar yet unfamiliar term.

This familiarity stems from the fact that they had previously heard tales of numerous epic battles between the Sea Clan and the Devourers.

What's strange is that these young prodigies who came to hone their skills had never encountered the Devouring Clan before.

Given your background and experience, you've likely heard some stories about the Devourers.

"The Black Calamity races are all merciless, and the Devourers are among the worst of them."

They are called the Devourers because their sole purpose in existence is to consume.

"Not only does it devour all living things, but it also devours the very essence of individual worlds."

"As for other Black Scourge groups, perhaps you could still communicate with them."

"But the Devourers, they are a horde of savage beasts who know nothing but killing and consuming."

"In the past, the ancient black calamity devoured my world's seas, causing immeasurable destruction."

"How many world origins were swallowed by the Devouring Clan, countless billions of living beings slaughtered and refined by them."

Upon hearing Elder Su's words.

Some of the prodigies present could only feel their scalp tingling.

The previous fighting spirit and morale seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water, sinking into silence.

"Moreover, in terms of numbers, the Devouring Tribe should be the most populous race within the Black Calamity Clan."

Countless hordes of the Devourers will tear apart a world like a tidal wave, consuming it entirely.

Sù Lǎo's words made all the young prodigies in the audience dare not breathe, each with furrowed brows and solemn expressions.

And if you had to say who remained the most composed throughout the match, it would undoubtedly be Jun Xiaoyao and the other elite members of the Imperial Clan.

Before Jun Xiaoyao, although there was no understanding or research on the Devouring Clan.

But in short.

Isn't the Devouring Race just another name for the Zerg

It's like the Bā clan. And the Hānchán, which is also related to zombies.

The Devouring Clan is very similar to the Zerg, and you could even say it's just another type of Zerg.

However, they were insects that had been warped by an eerie presence.

"Ancestral Calamity, the source of eerie and sinister energy..."

He was lost in thought and many things came to mind. He also sensed a conspiracy and the shadow of a mastermind behind it all.

This must be a stunningly audacious tactic.

Of course, this is just Jun Xiaoyao's current guess.

And at this moment, as if seeing the unease of the young talents present, Elder Su continued to ease the atmosphere.

"I tell you all this, so that you don't underestimate your opponents, and so that your hearts don't become complacent."

But this time, it's not that bad.

"The dispatched Devourers weren't numerous, and their levels weren't particularly high either. The highest was likely just a General-level Devourer, so the threat level wasn't exceptionally high."

But I don't know what their purpose is.

"So this mission to the Shattered Nebula is also a test for you all. Figure out their purpose."

Upon hearing the words of Elder Su, a Tianjiao suddenly asked, "Senior, are you referring to the levels within the She Clan when you speak of the 'Jiang-Level' She Clan"

While those present were all talented individuals, their understanding of the Devouring Race was superficial at best.

Nor will it make the ranks of the Devouring Horde any clearer.

Su Lao Dao: "That's right, just like the Bā tribe, you can distinguish their realm and bloodline by their eye color."

"The Devouring Race also has a strict hierarchy."

That's slave rank. Soldier rank, general rank, king rank, emperor rank, ancestor rank.

"The Ji Shi Clan, roughly equivalent to the seventh level of the Supreme Realm."

"The King-level Devourers are quasi-emperor level."

"The emperor-level Devouring Race are naturally at the Emperor level."

"Although at the same level, the power of the Devourers is stronger than that of the Human race."

"But as long as you don't encounter top-tier general-level Zerg, self-preservation and escape should be no problem."

Hearing Elder Su's explanation, the young geniuses present finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Though the Devourers are terrifying, they are not without weaknesses.

"Alright, prepare yourselves a bit and then set off." said Lao Su.

All the talented young people present responded in agreement.

"The Devouring Tribe, interesting. Wonder what kind of merit I can get this time"

Jun Xiaoyao was deep in thought.

The one-year anniversary is just around the corner.

This may be his last chance to earn merit.

If you only slayed the general-level Shi tribe, perhaps you could gain considerable merit.

But it definitely cannot help you to win this wager.

So, Jun Xiaoyao has to make sure he can win the bet, then the lowest standard must be...e the formidable daughter of the Er ClanWhat on earth is going onBut you, carefree and at ease, your eyes flickered.He thought to himself, Yun Yingluo said, she was picked up by Yun Tianya.but there w...
