1317 Devil Bomb!

“What’s wrong with Xuelun?” Wang Teng muttered to himself as he sat on a large tree at night, while tossing the bag he received.

The vampire elder had sent him a gift after being taken under Devil Emperor Bare Brain’s wing.

Mind you, there was a serious grudge between them!

It was obvious that Xuelun was doing this because of his new disciple status.

Seems like my discipleship is more important than I thought. Wang Teng wondered.

At first, he was planning to throw away his Justin identity after the spying mission ended. Now it felt like a waste to throw it away.

Honestly, he hadn’t taken his undercover guise seriously, and yet it took a sudden turn for the better.

The whole thing felt unreal.

He was oblivious to the main reason Bare Brain took him in: Euphelia.

Euphelia’s backer was his old enemy.

They started going at each other’s throats a long time before, but the other party was incredibly talented; Bare Brain would never gain an edge over the other. He had always been the loser.

He saw hope when Wang Teng defeated Euphelia.

If he could groom that junior and he defeated Euphelia after she fully grasped the Blood Sea Domain, that would mean that he was the strongest of the two.

And that was how the shotgun discipleship came to be.

No one could stop our hero’s good luck.

“We’ll wait and see.” Wang Teng pondered for some time and shook his head. He decided to watch how things unfolded before making a decision.

But… if Xuelun thought that bag of Blood Demon Crystals was enough to compensate for his two attacks, he was too naive. He, Wang Teng, wasn’t someone who forgave easily.

He recorded the grudge in his little notebook, and it wouldn’t be easily removed.

Wang Teng had yet to make a habit of erasing grudges.

As for the Blood Demon Crystals, he would keep them.

Wang Teng was the one taking the crystals; it had nothing to do with ‘Justin’.

“Oh right, what are these Blood Demon Crystals?” Wang Teng searched through the Devour Nihility Beast’s memories but didn’t find any related information. It seemed that his bonded beast had no prior knowledge of this.

Thus, he asked Round Ball to see if it knew anything.

“I think I’ve heard of these crystals before.” Round Ball paused for some time as it searched through its banks. Then, its eyes lit up and it said, “I remember it now. I’ve seen a record related to Blood Demon Crystals once. They are crystals of the vampire race, made by compressing blood essence; it’s useful to improve physiques…”

Round Ball’s explanation shed some light about the gifted goods. Wang Teng’s eyes started to shimmer.

This is good stuff!

It was a great element for physique training.

He received eighty thousand Blood Demon Crystals in total. He could improve his Ancient God’s Body considerably. This would help him save some blank attributes. Mind you, he was poor.

From the looks of it, Xuelun had extended a great gift.

Wang Teng chuckled in his heart. He stored the crystals in his space equipment for the moment; he would take them out to cultivate in the future. It wasn’t a suitable moment to cultivate.

The night was silent.

A new day arrived. Wang Teng went to Bare Brain’s great hall again.

The Devil Emperor was still sitting on his throne. His position hadn’t even changed; it was exactly the same as the previous day.

He didn’t speak,taking his new disciple out of the great hall right away. They traveled to the mountains tens of kilometers away again.

Wang Teng was now prepared. He didn’t start cultivating immediately; instead he threw numerous questions at Emperor Bare Brain. He had spent a considerable time and effort thinking about those questions the night before.

Wasting time through words!

Devil Emperor Bare Brain gathered that not only was the young one talented, he was also eager to learn. He felt that he had found a good seedling, so he answered all his questions.

All the questioning was also proof that Wang Teng didn’t know everything. There were still things the powerhouse could teach him.

The latter had been spooked by the armored apparition’s cultivation speed; he now felt happy to waste some time answering.

Both parties had their own plans up their sleeves, while pretending to be a good pair of master and disciple.

…

Elsewhere, after Wang Teng and Bare Brain left—a figure in a black, long gown walked into the great hall silently.

It was the Devour Nihility Beast’s clone.

With long purple-black hair, he didn’t look like Wang Teng at the moment, as he had purposefully changed his appearance.

The bonded beast didn’t have a disguising talent, but his memories were vast and boundless. Thus, there were some useful skills in his arsenal that could help him change his appearance.

At the same time, he was executing a concealment skill to move through a place between emptiness and reality. This was his talent; it would be hard to discover him.

He did this to prevent the Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast from noticing him.

Just then, a sharp glint flashed past his deep and noble eyes. He glanced around the great hall.

The great hall was empty. There was nothing there, much less the big devil ovum.

Nihility frowned. That was the name given to him by Wang Teng, and he readily accepted it.

He walked to the wall’s edge and felt his way forward. He wanted to see if there were any secret entrances.

If there weren’t any, the devil ovum was probably hidden somewhere else.

He moved quickly, feeling the walls along the side. The only place left to check was the stone wall behind the throne. He soon reached that section of the stone wall and stretched out a hand to feel it.

Found it! A tinge of happiness appeared in his eyes.

He could feel a secret entrance less than a meter away from his left hand. He directly walked over and ascertained that there was no one guarding the door. Then, his body became transparent and he passed through.

That was a special skill he leveraged since he was already halfway between the void and reality. He could pass through most obstacles without much difficulty, and without destroying the obstacle itself.

Once passing through the entrance, he saw a medium-sized room further in.

The room was special, with all sorts of devices; they were blinking and giving off lights in different colors.

Nihility was astounded by the scene.

“I didn’t expect that such a place would exist in the lodgings of a high-tier devil emperor,” Nihility mumbled curiously.

Dark apparitions understood technology, but rarely studied it. Only some of the special races would be interested and use the technology.

Suddenly, he remembered that the Devil Mind Race was exactly one of such races. There was even a description about them in his memory.

“I should find the devil ovum first.” Nihility glanced around him, then paused when he saw a round cylindrical device.

A black fleshly ball was floating in the cylindrical device. A huge amount of green liquid filled up the device, while a tube stretched all the way from the top of the device into the black ball of flesh.

The black ball of flesh was pounding like a heart.

The Devil Ovum! Nihility was elated. He had finally found it; never did he expect to find it there.

He soon turned serious, though. That devil ovum was much bigger than before, and was giving off a powerful evil aura and enchantment. It was maturing.

The devil ovum didn’t notice Nihility. If not, it would have screamed.

It would most likely detect Wang Teng’s aura on the beast.

Nihility planned to grab and steal the devil ovum, not wanting to suck the Origin of Darkness from it. Let Wang Teng do it. After all, he had taken the divine talent, World Devourer, from him.

Wang Teng would run into the forest if he didn’t have anything to do during his stay in the dark apparitions’ base, he would explore the forest and release the Devour Nihility Beast clone to get benefits (attribute bubbles) for him.

Boom!

At that moment, an explosion was heard, coming from a room behind him.

Nihility was shocked by what he discovered. He looked grim, ready to run away with the devil ovum once things got out of hand. However—after waiting for a long time—he merely saw a burnt figure walking out from the door behind.

That was a short and small apparition with pointy years. He had a bit of a sneaky look, and there were wrinkles all over his face. His skin was green in color, and he was quite ugly, to be honest.

A Goblin Apparition! Nihility blinked. He instantly recognized the other party’s race. After all, the characteristics of that race were too apparent.

“Cough…” The goblin apparition stumbled out from the door in a miserable state. He coughed continuously; black smoke came out from his mouth.

Did this goblin bomb himself? Nihility thought with a strange expression.

“Damn it, I failed again. The devil bomb is too hard to make. Fortunately, I lessened the dosage or I would have exploded,” the goblin muttered to himself, while feeling a bit fortunate.

Devil bomb?! Nihility was stunned. What’s that?

The goblin took a moment to calm down prior to entering the room again. He seemed to be planning to continue his research.

Nihility followed him silently, then saw a messy room that looked like a laboratory. It was similar to Veblen’s laboratory and the goblin was standing in front of a work table, fiddling with a bunch of tools and materials.

Is the fellow making that kind of devil bomb? Nihility inched over curiously to look at the other party at work.

The goblin didn’t notice the latter’s presence behind him. He was focused on his tools and materials as he started making another devil bomb.

After a while passed, something that looked like bubble gum appeared. It was soft and was squirming like a living creature. It could even change shape.

Is this the devil bomb? Nihility was puzzled. He couldn’t find any information about that strange thing in his memory.

But, the goblin wasn’t done. He continued to add more refined materials inside.

The bubble gum opened its mouth and swallowed all the materials.

Suddenly, it stopped moving for a second and started expanding.

“Oh no!” The goblin hurriedly patted a part of his body.

Boom!

An explosion occurred and the half-finished bomb exploded. The experimenter was thrown feet first, then he slammed heavily onto the wall.

However, a black defense shield layer appeared around him and blocked the impact. He wasn’t hurt by it.

A defense shield rose around the worktable, concealing the explosion in a small range. It didn’t affect the things going on outside.

Nihility touched his chin with a strange gaze.

This devil bomb is truly interesting!
