Darren had never expected to see the young man in black armor again here.
Darren looked at the young man. He originally wanted to ask some questions, but he didn't know what to say. His mouth opened only to exhale a small amount of air and rapidly closed it.
He still remembered Scott's fight with that youth in the Fire Cave. The memory was still fresh in his mind. In the end, the young man in black armor had let Scott go. The youth had said that day, "You owe me one." Darren still didn't understand what the words meant.
"Help me."
Two strange characters sounded cold and distant in Darren's brain.
Darren had communicated with the young man in this way before, but he could not take the initiative to say anything.
Since the young man in black armor opened his mouth first, Darren cooperated and decided to reply. "What do you mean by 'help me'?
Are you the one who left the forbidden area on the island? I do owe you, but if you want me to help you open the forbidden areas of the Holy Lands, then I can't do it. I really can't." Darren stared at the young man with unblinking eyes.
At this point, Darren couldn't think of anyone else who had pure bloodline of a fiend and mighty strength at the same time. The only exception was this young man in black armor.
Darren could not help but be secretly surprised that the strength of this young man in black armor was growing too fast. Back in the Fire Cave, he was only powerful as someone in the Grand Realm. Now, when Darren was as strong as a six-star grand warrior, he had a terrible feeling that the young man was even stronger than before.
"No."
The stone-faced young man remained cold as usual. When the man stood with tight shut lips, Darren furrowed his brows and stared at the youth for a while.
"I want you to help me stop it." The young man in black armor continued to send words into Darren's brain.
Darren was still confused, and it showed on his face. Before he could say something, the young man in black armor sent more words to Darren's brain.
"It is transformed by my real body's blood essence. Help me find it, and I'll kill it."
"It?" Confusion still swam in Darren's mind, and the added words deepened his furrowed brows. 'Is he saying that the king of the black mutants is not him at all?' Darren wondered.
By the looks of it, the black-armored young man wanted to kill the mutant transformed from the blood essence.
Those doubts made Darren's heart heavy. This time, however, he wouldn't let it go. He had to clarify everything!
"Tell me where you come from first." Darren licked his lips as he prepared himself for the answer.
The young man in black armor hesitated for a moment before flooding Darren's mind with the number of words beyond expectations. Darren's eyes widened at the overwhelming data in his head.
"My real body was divided into eight parts by the strong human warriors, and my soul was divided into three. Two of them were dead, while the last one was hidden in a divine coffin. I am the last part of the soul that had been in the coffin, assimilating the spiritual energy. And I gained a transforming skill from the humans. As a result, I was reborn after cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years."
Darren froze and stared at the young man with black armor with wide eyes. It turned out that the young man in front of him was transformed from the soul of the first fiend ancestor!
No wonder the fiend's blood Darren inherited from him would be incomparably pure.
But why did the young man want to stop the fiend transformed from his real body's blood essence from opening the forbidden areas?
Darren turned his focus toward the words again and continued to read it in his brain.
"After hundreds of thousands of years' evolution, I have my own consciousness, and I'm an independent being now. Besides, the transforming skill belongs to humans, which is a taboo for my real body. Its rebirth can occur anytime. If that happens, it might try to absorb my soul to strengthen its ability."
After reading these words, Darren almost understood what was going on.
When the fiend's first ancestor died, the soul was divided into three parts, and two of them were crushed. The young man in black armor in front of Darren was the only survivor, but after a lot of cultivation, he had developed his own consciousness and was equivalent to a complete individual.
In other words, this young man in black armor was a kind of specially transformed soul. He didn't want to be controlled by his real body again, and he didn't want his real body to be reborn and devour him.
Therefore, he had to prevent his real body from reviving!
Darren was still in a daze from the information that was poured in his brain when he started to see more words.
He licked his lips and shifted his attention on it. When Darren had absorbed a lot of his fiendish aura last time, the young man knew that Darren was indeed something. From that moment on, the young man had 'targeted' Darren. After careful calculation and consideration, the youth knew that this human would be of great help to him in the future.
So, back when Darren had encountered the first crisis of fusion of blade and sword intents, he came out of nowhere to help him resist the thunder all of a sudden.
Back in the Fire Cave, the young man in black armor learned that Scott was Darren's friend, and that was why he had spared Scott in the end.
