1324 This Human Is Cheating! (2) Actually, our hero didn’t need to worry about energies clashing. He just had to make sure that the pagoda wouldn’t burst after receiving all that power. The more violent the clashes, the more frightening the explosion would be. Of course, the Nine Treasures Pagoda needed to hold for a while and not burst beforehand; everything would be lost otherwise. The pagoda started to vibrate fiercely as the generals infused it with their spiritual powers. The artifact began to give off a continuous and ominous fluctuation that made people’s hearts shudder. !! The giant eyeball on the other side of the dimensional rift was able to sense something. His icy voice resounded in the air. “Stop them. Destroy that pagoda!” Boom! A few figures charged towards Wang Teng right after the command was made. “Hmph!” General Qi Yuanju and the others snorted and dashed forward. They positioned themselves to protect Wang Teng behind them. Their spiritual power continued to flow into the pagoda while they greeted attacks from the mid-tier devil emperors who darted over. Boom! Boom! Boom! Eruptions echoed in the sky. Impacts of force were swept through the surroundings and the space was shattered; pitch-black lines started to appear. The human high officials were heaven stage martial warriors, so they were extremely powerful. Every single attack was frightening, causing a huge explosion. The apparitions around them wouldn’t dare get close; all of them kept a safe distance. As for Wang Teng, he wasn’t affected since General Cameron was protecting him. This allowed him to focus on handling the pagoda, which would explode at any moment. Honestly, the artifact would have burst to pieces had he not built it with his divine flames and the Heaven-Earth Calamity Lightning, as well as the two godly hammers. This followed a process similar to forging weapons: the better the materials, the tougher and longer-lasting the weapon would be. It wouldn’t fail easily. Wang Teng felt fortunate he chose those two hammers; the process to make them was arduous, but their effects were good. More and more spiritual power was infused into the pagoda. The latter started to expand a little, like the tummy of a lean person who ate too much. Both humans and apparitions felt their hearts racing when they saw that scene. Even General Cameron felt his head going numb. He could end up in heaven real fast if the pagoda exploded right in front of him. This is unnerving! His confidence in Wang Teng grew. What a weirdo! “Stop him!” The blood-chilling voice on the other side of the rift resounded again. It was a pitch higher than before. “He’s afraid!” General Cameron raised his head with a smirk. Boom! Bare Brain had yet to make a move. Just then, he disappeared again. Wang Teng squinted. He saw how space some distance away became distorted. A muscular arm stretched out from the void in an attempt to grab him. General Cameron furrowed his eyebrows and gave a loud bellow. “Move!” He clenched his fist and hurled it toward the arm. The devil emperor rearranged his fingers to welcome the incoming punch. Neither of them used any battle techniques. It was a simple battle of palm against fist, but the energy they contained was alarming. It felt as if all force had been compressed and harnessed by the two. Bang! The two arms collided, producing a dull thud. Space around them started cracking. The fist and the palm had made a clear white mark in the air. Both parties separated immediately after that exchange. General Cameron retreated a few hundred meters back, while the arm disappeared back into the void. The human leader turned serious. He shifted his body and threw punches in a certain direction in the air nonstop. Bare Brain was forced to appear and resist the general’s punches. “What a close call!” Cold sweat dripped down Wang Teng’s forehead. He was almost squashed to death by the devil emperor. Their recent master-disciple interaction that took place for many days allowed him to finally understand how powerful that devil emperor was. Damn it, he’s cuter when he teaches me! He’s so scary when he gets fierce! “Wang Teng, are you OK?” said General Qi Yuanju while standing in front of the hero. The latter’s face was pale; the exhaustion of his spiritual power would affect his future battle. Wang Teng frowned. He looked at his pagoda floating above him. There were small cracks on its surface, a glaring golden light shooting out from within; it would burst at any moment. However, he felt that it could still bear the pressure. “A little more!” All the generals showed black faces, but they listened to him. Wang Teng wasn’t idle, either. He activated his spiritual power and also feeded it into the artifact. Let’s go all out! Wang Teng had a little madness in him. Since things had gone that far, might as well go all out. Crack.. The Nine Treasures Pagoda was starting to make clear and crisp cracking sounds. More and more cracks started to appear as time passed, covering the entire structure and making it look a bit eerie. Wang Teng frowned and quickly shouted, “Enough! Enough!” General Qi Yuanju and the others had been waiting for that word the entire time. They stopped injecting spiritual power the moment they heard it. They would have emptied everything they had if they kept at it a while longer. ... Bare Brain looked grim when he saw this. He stared at Wang Teng and disappeared from the spot where he was. Boom! A battle blade appeared in General Cameron’s hand. He slashed and the blade glow cut through the air, knocking the devil emperor back. “Move!” said the frosty voice coming from Bare Brain’s mouth.
