1303 No… Bare Brain Devil Emperor! Another miner was added. Two figures, one big and one small, were mining furiously in the dim looking cave. The metal armor flaming scorpion was much faster than Ukpur. It wasn’t as powerful as the latter but the former couldn’t release all his power so his speed was slow. The apparition glanced at the scorpion working next to him and wondered contemptuously in his heart. Tsk, are you stupid? Why are you working so hard when you’re just manual labor? If I had a master like him, I would knock my head on the wall to commit suicide. He had forgotten he was the one calling Wang Teng ‘master’ some time before. The scorpion noticed Ukpur’s gaze and glared while threatening in a fierce voice, “What are you looking at? I’ll eat you if you look at me again.” “Hmph, eat me if you can.” Ukpur wouldn’t dare offend his new master, but he wasn’t afraid of the scorpion beast. “You’re quite irritating.” The scorpion was angered. “Hurry up and dig, stop wasting time,” Wang Teng scolded them softly, “I’ll give him to you after you finish digging.” The scorpion was elated. It chuckled and said, “Thank you, master.” Then, he glanced at Ukpur proudly and sized him up with a ruthless gaze, as if considering how to conduct torture. Ukpur: o(╥_╥)o A man who loses position and influence may be subjected to much indignity. I’m an elite of the devil mind race. How could a spiritual pet punish me? Damn it! The digging speed increased with the addition of the scorpion’s muscle. One night passed, but only a small part of the immaculate energy stone mine had been dug. There was a huge section left. However, Wang Teng and Ukpur had to go back or the other dark apparitions would get suspicious. The human left the scorpion beast there. He gave it a spatial equipment so it could gather the rest of the immaculate energy stones. He would return later at night to then leave together. “Ukpur, you should know what to do and what you should say.” Wang Teng glanced at Ukpur the instant they walked out of the cave. He continued calmly, “I can kill you with a single thought.” “I know.” Ukpur was in a dilemma, but the fear of death exceeded everything in the end, so he nodded dejectedly. Actually, the implanted seed of enchantment was starting to affect his mindset. He couldn’t betray Wang Teng anymore. “Go ahead.” Wang Teng waved a hand. Ukpur left, soon disappearing from Wang Teng’s view. Our hero didn’t want to expose his devil armor race’s identity, so he used his real appearance when dealing with Ukpur. That way, he could keep hiding in the dark. Ukpur would never guess he too was in their main base. Wang Teng changed back into his devil armor disguise and took another path back to the base he had infiltrated. “Justin, where did you go? You’re on duty today,” Jarrod asked him hurriedly when he saw him arrive. “I went out to cultivate. I’ll go immediately,” Wang Teng replied without much explanation. “Go, quickly.” Jarrod was used to the latter being secretive, so he didn’t think much of it. He just nodded and urged him to hurry for his patrol duty. Wang Teng led his small team and entered the valley. His appointed region was within the valley, so he could take the chance to pick up the attribute bubbles dropped by the Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast. Constellation Force (Dark)*300 Constellation Force (Earth)*400 Constellation Force (Dark)*200 Divine Level Dark Talent*100 … The attribute bubbles merged into his, causing his constellation earth and dark force to rise tremendously. His divine level of dark and earth talents increased too. But, this time, there weren’t as many bubbles as before. It was probably because the previous catch was the result of a long accumulation period. There was no fixed time for the bubbles to last. They could last for longer in some special locations, or when they were dropped by powerful existences. The Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast was extremely powerful, which made the dropped attribute bubbles last longer. This was the reason Wang Teng hadn’t needed to rush and pick them up every day. He could just go whenever he was on patrol. The day ended and a thorough patrol work was completed. Wang Teng went back to his temporary base and noticed that the dark apparitions were a little excited. They were talking about something. “What are y’all doing?” Wang Teng asked Jarrod. “We’ll be having duels between races later. Did you forget about it?” Jarrod was sharpening his giant, black battle blade. Dueling? Wang Teng was stunned. He was surprised, but he didn’t let it show, in case they got suspicious. He went to look for his team members and got some information from them. The duels would be held every once in a while. Mid-tier devil emperors would attend, and would reward the ones who performed well. Dark apparitions loved to fight. Many conflicts would arise if they weren’t given an avenue to release their energy. That was why the higher ups would hold these fights on ocassion. They would also give them some rewards, to motivate their subordinates to work harder. It could even ignite their competitiveness so they would cultivate harder. That was beneficial to the overall improvement of their forces. Wang Teng’s gaze flickered, wondering if he should participate. He didn’t mind torturing some of the apparitions. “Justin, you should be more proactive later. Considering your ability, you’d definitely get Sir’s reward,” Jarrod reminded him. ... “Don’t worry, I will.” Wang Teng smiled. His smile appeared exceptionally hideous, considering his devil armor race’s face. Jarrod found his smile a little eerie for some reason. Night dawn. The surroundings looked scarier with the black mist floating around them. However, it was party time for the dark apparitions. A group of them gathered on an empty spot within the valley. The noise soared through the clouds, but didn’t spread further, seemingly blocked by an invisible force. Wang Teng observed his surroundings and stuck out his tongue. “Good grief, this is a parade of demons and monsters!” Just then, a few figures with powerful auras appeared up in the sky. They were the mid-tier devil emperors. Once they made an appearance, they went down on one knee and faced the top of the building on the Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast’s back. They shouted, “We welcome Devil Emperor Bare Brain.” All the apparitions below kneeled and shouted in excitement, “We welcome Devil Emperor Bare Brain!” Wang Teng copied them, also pretending to shout. He felt that he was becoming more and more like a dark apparition. ... Then, he looked up at the sky. A gigantic figure stepped out from the void and stood on top of the building; approximately eight meters tall, looking like a dark deity. There was black mist surrounding him, so his body couldn’t be seen; one could only feel the powerful aura being exuded by his body.
