1255 A Message From Veblen. The Light Velvet Race!

Once he made his decision, Wang Teng shifted his focus to another legacy.

Divine talent, World Devourer!

This sounded impressive, and it was indeed… truly impressive!

Everyone knew that the Devouring Nihility Beast was powerful because it had the insane ability to devour everything.

World Devourer, a divine talent, was the key to its engulfing ability.

This enabled the creature to absorb anything, be it plants, rocks, metals, or life forms. Even mystical bodies could be devoured.

The universe-stage martial warrior who pursued Wang Teng fell victim to this ability and was still trapped in the Devour Space of the Nihility Beast.

What exactly was a divine talent?

It wasn’t ordinary for sure. Divine talents had such a name because they were extremely powerful battle techniques.

Only those with pure bloodlines and born with powerful traits could possess them.

In fact, a divine talent surpassed ordinary battle techniques.

Otherwise, the cosmos-stage Devouring Nihility Beast would have been incapable of devouring the universe-stage martial warrior.

Wang Teng was overjoyed after learning how powerful World Devourer was and started thinking of farming more attribute bubbles.

It would be a waste to give up on such a powerful divine talent.

He would be able to farm on his own!

Wang Teng could actually use World Devourer through the Devouring Nihility Beast, but using it himself was much cooler.

Still, what if it wasn’t around him and was busy with errands? What would happen then?

So, for the sake of convenience, Wang Teng decided to farm World Devourer attributes.

It was fine if he didn’t run across this talent. But now that he did, he couldn’t let it pass.

He did whatever came to mind.

Wang Teng immediately entered the dark Devour Space and floated in front of the Devouring Nihility Beast.

First, he sensed the aura of the universe-stage martial warrior to gauge his condition.

Even an expert like that would be in dire straits when plunged into that place.

The results surprised him greatly, though.

Sailen’s life force was very strong. The devouring creature had absorbed less than once percent of his force thus far.

It looked like a tough bone to nibble.

On the other hand, the small world he was in was showing signs of collapse.

A small world was the universe-stage martial warrior’s first line of defense. Once devoured, his body would be next.

Wang Teng was astonished. Universe-stage martial warriors were indeed deserving of their reputation, tenacious even in that situation.

He shook his head and looked at the Devouring Nihility Beast’s body. He then issued an order.

The beast looked at him.

Wang Teng was taken aback and slapped his forehead.

He couldn’t use World Devourer inside the Devour Space!

He forgot about this matter altogether.

He could only return to reality and put aside the thought about farming attribute bubbles for a while.

Defense Planet No. 29 wasn’t a suitable place to use World Devourer; he had to wait for a better opportunity.

Wang Teng shook his head in disappointment and curbed his enthusiasm.

With nothing else to do, he decided to see Veblen and take a look at the research progress of the devil ovum and Devil Mind Race.

The nearby martial warriors recognized him as he walked over to Veblen’s laboratory. Some were enthusiastic as they greeted him and some gave him curious looks, while others were murmuring amongst themselves.

Wang Teng felt he had become the focus of everyone’s attention. The sensation of being respected made him feel like he had returned to Earth.

He didn’t dwell upon it, though. He reached Veblen’s laboratory soon after.

Veblen was observing a devil mind dark apparition kept in a glass enclosure. Once the latter saw him arrive, he said with sarcasm, “Great hero, how did you find the time to come here today?”

“I’m here to see if you’ve made any progress.” Wang Teng rolled his eyes.

“Well, there’s a bit of progress.”

Once he said that, Veblen immediately switched to a serious demeanor.

“Oh, what did you discover?”

“I found something interesting. Guess what it is.” Veblen looked at Wang Teng. His eyes seemed to be telling him something.

“How would I know?” Wang Teng was speechless.

“The devil ovum seems to have turned into an empty shell. The Origin of Darkness that should be inside has disappeared,” said Veblen in a casual tone as he looked into Wang Teng’s eyes.

The latter’s heart skipped a beat, but he didn’t let his emotions show. He chuckled. “If you want to kill the devil ovum, you have to get rid of its Origin of Darkness.”

Veblen’s expression changed. He approached him like a curious baby and probed, “Then, what method did you use to get rid of the Origin of Darkness? Can you tell me?”

Moira was next to him, she glanced over and looked at Wang Teng curiously.

Wang Teng felt a sense of relief.

It turned out he wasn’t suspected of absorbing the Origin of Darkness.

Scary!

He was speechless when he saw both of them behaving that way. He then spouted some nonsense, “It isn’t much of a secret. I mastered a special light-element battle technique that is able to destroy the Origin of Darkness. That’s it.”

Veblen rubbed his chin and exclaimed, “A light-element battle technique able to destroy its Origin of Darkness without harming the shell? That is not an ordinary battle technique.”

Wang Teng changed the subject, “By the way, you promised to tell me how Light Force could be improved after I was done dealing with the devil ovum. Now it’s time to speak.”

That was the main reason why he was there.

“Did I?” Veblen’s eyes flickered. He turned his head and tried to feign ignorance.

Wang Teng was speechless. “Hey, how can you be so shameless? Do you want to ruin your reputation as a wise man?”

Moira was caught between laughter and tears. She knew that her teacher was trying to go back on his word.

He had surely made an agreement with Wang Teng, but now he wanted to deny it. That guilty look of his was too obvious.

But Wang Teng said he wanted to improve his Light Force. Was that the reason?

Moira suddenly realized why her teacher was being like that.

Veblen’s expression worsened when he heard Wang Teng’s words. He had agreed too hastily, even putting the reputation of the Intelligence Nativity Clan at stake. Now, he was filled with regret when he thought about it.

“What do we do? Veblen the wise man.” Wang Teng emphasized the words ‘wise man’ on purpose.

“All right! All right! I’ll tell you,” Veblen waved his hand in despair and said seriously, “But before that, you have to promise me one thing.”

“I still have to promise you something?” Wang Teng frowned in displeasure.

The man had agreed to tell him once the devil ovum was handled, and now, he was changing his tune. He wasn’t that easygoing.

“Teacher!” Moira seemed to have sensed the latter’s annoyance and nudged Veblen.

“Hear me out.” Veblen rolled his eyes. It was hard to keep a woman at home.

Wang Teng glanced at Moira and said, “I’ll do that for Moira’s sake. But don’t blame me for not playing along if your request is ridiculous.”

Moira blushed instantly.

It didn’t feel right. Why am I involved in this?

She just didn’t want the two to become enemies for no reason.

However, she didn’t know why she felt a little happy when the fellow said that.

Veblen saw that something was going on with their eyes and quickly took a step forward to block their eye contact. “I’m not asking you to do anything. It’s more of a request.

“I underestimated you back then. I didn’t expect that you could really deal with the devil ovum.

“I shouldn’t have told you about it, lest someone disturb their peaceful life.

“But now…”

He sighed in helplessness.

“Forget it. As long as you promise me you won’t do anything to hurt them, I’ll tell you.”

“Them?” Wang Teng said, “You have to tell me who they are.”

“That place is a special planet with a very dense Light Force. They are natives of that planet,” Veblen explained.

“I see, so the natives are still weak.” Wang Teng understood.

“That’s right.” Veblen nodded.

“An underdeveloped planet. No wonder you’re so worried. What stage is their strongest martial warrior?” Wang Teng asked.

“The strongest is their elder, a planetary-stage martial warrior.”

“Planetary-stage martial warrior. That’s not right… You said you know them, why don’t you help them?” Wang Teng was suspicious.

“It’s because those life forms are very special and I can’t help much. But I have helped them collect many light-element scriptures in recent years. However, their cultivation methods are different from the traditional sort. They can’t cultivate the ones I’ve obtained for them,” Veblen replied.

“There’s such a thing?” Wang Teng frowned and asked curiously, “Special? How special?”

“They belong to the Light Velvet Race, not the human race.” Veblen suddenly realized something. “You haven’t promised me yet.”

“I can accept your condition. Of course, on the premise that they don’t attack me,” Wang Teng responded.

“Don’t worry. I’ll let them know in advance. They wouldn’t do anything to you for my sake,” Veblen assured.

“I hope so.” Wang Teng nodded and said with joy, “A planet with dense Light Force. That’s rare indeed. It’ll definitely help me a lot.”

“That place is a holy land for light-element martial warriors. Perhaps you’ll be noticed by them, given your light talent,” Veblen said.

Wang Teng didn’t care whether he would be recognized; he was just going there to farm attribute bubbles. A planet with dense Light Force would definitely have heaps of light attribute bubbles.
