1320 Look at the Sky, Its Going to Rain Soon.
While our hero Wang Teng was getting everything ready
Numerous orders were being relayed, back at Defense Planet no. 29s headquarters.
The military hub started operating like a giant machine; countless well-trained troops were starting to gather.
Everything was happening in secret; the dark apparitions didnt notice a thing.
General Cameron was extremely careful. Even while he was sending orders to gather the troops, the message being sent was that it was just a drill.
Only the highest authorities, the generals, knew about the real plan. There was definitely no problem with them.
The invasion of the devil mind dark apparitions infuriated General Cameron, making him grow vigilant.
This time, every general taking part in the plan was tested and filtered carefully to prevent any infiltration.
General Cameron was at the moment standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the command building. He sternly glanced into the distance, worry showing in his eyes.
General Qi Yuanju and the others were also there; they were discussing battle strategies.
The other generals noticed General Camerons worried gaze. General Qi Yuanju exchanged glances with the other generals before asking, General Cameron, is Colonel Wang Teng all right?
Everyones gazes flickered.
That was their main concern.
Is everything truly all right?
They believed Wang Teng, but the matter sounded a little unrealistic.
Was he really able to sneak into the apparitions den and snatch the devil ovum?
That wasnt something an ordinary person could do.
However, the lead General chose to believe and bet on Wang Teng. He mobilized all the troops to cooperate with the young hero to launch a full-force attack on the dark apparitions.
Definitely a mad decision.
Everyone felt it was unlikely for the General to take that kind of decision.
If he hadnt reviewed the plan multiple times, they would have thought he had been substituted.
General Cameron turned slowly and scanned the crowd. Then, he replied with a smile, I stand firm about this decision. I believe in Colonel Wang Teng.
He has never disappointed me.
Silence.
No one spoke. They were stunned.
This wasnt the answer they expected from him.
Thats too subjective!
It wasnt something a decision maker should say.
However, upon careful thought, they realized that he was right. Wang Teng had completed every mission to perfection, and couldnt find any fault in him.
The devil mind races invasion of their headquarters was a huge matter.
Now, they knew that Wang Teng had already snatched the devil ovum in the past, and even captured a devil mind creature.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Both the ovum and the devil mind race were troublesome presences. Humankind found it hard to deal with them.
In the end, Wang Teng took care of both.
He had done so many things in silence, making understable why General Cameron had high hopes for him.
Their leader continued, Dont feel pressured. I will take full responsibility for my decision. I will present my resignation and take the blame if anything happens.
Everyones expression changed.
No! General Qi Yuanju was quick to shout.
We made this decision together. How can you take all the responsibility? General Ukeri shook his head.
Thats right. We are prepared to bear the consequences since weve all agreed. All of us have been through countless wars; we are not afraid of one failure, said General Kimberly in a low voice.
The other generals agreed. Their words were filled with resolution and fearlessness.
General Cameron moved his lips, but chose to swallow his words. All he said in the end was, All right, lets make this our final attempt and fight for our lives!
Lets fight for our lives!
Their gazes turned firm as they shouted in low voices.
It only took three days for all the military power in Defense Planet No. 29 to move quietly. Aside from a skeleton crew that stayed to guard their base, the other martial warriors had boarded battlecrafts and went to the mountains by the outskirts of the apparitions base. Then, they split into smaller teams and snuck into the mountains.
However, only a few of the military units infiltrated the mountains. The other teams continued lurking elsewhere, using military exercises as an excuse to avoid arousing the creatures suspicion.
Dark apparitions were spread all over the planet. If they moved too openly, the apparitions would definitely discover their real motive.
Back on the mountains outskirts, General Cameron also ordered another batch of martial warriors to seal off the region, and to kill any suspicious creatures, all to prevent them from sending news back to their base.
Elsewhere, inside the devil armor races territoryWang Teng sat under a tree and muttered to himself with a sharp gaze, Are we starting?
Jarrod was standing closeby. What the other said made him curious, and asked, Whats starting?
Look at the sky, its going to rain soon, Wang Teng said indifferently.
Jarrod looked up. Indeed, the sky was turning dark. Rain was imminent. Youre right!
Wang Teng waved his hand and walked into the forest. Time to go home and save the laundry from the rain.
??? Jarrod was puzzled. He didnt understand the meaning of what the other said.
Do we even need clothes?
They werent like the vampires or the werewolves who needed some clothing to cover their sensitive parts.
Wang Teng went for his daily training with Devil Emperor Bare Brain like usual. His domain had already reached the fourth-level after those few days of training, and its power rose tremendously, too.
Dark Domain: 300/4000 (fourth-level)
Among all his domains, this was the first one to reach the fourth-level. It wasnt an easy journey.
This was his strongest domain. His Metal, Black Metal, and his Meteorite Shower domains had also reached the fourth-level.
He was almost undefeatable among cosmos stage martial warriors and below with his current abilities. This proved how powerful fourth-level domains were.
Also, Bare Brains personal guidance had allowed him to have a change in quality of his Dark Domain: it was more profound, and stronger than his other fourth-level domains.
Even Wang Teng had to admit that Bare Brain had taught him well.
He wouldnt have achieved this on his own.
Wang Teng silently thanked him in his heart.
This is a good person... no, a good devil!
Two pitch-black domain spheres collided above the forest. No sound was released; it seemed that all noise was constrained within the two phenomena.
However, the space around them began to distort. Thin dimensional rifts started to appear as the air was unable to withstand the great pressure.
The two spheres kept colliding, none able to suppress the other.
An hour passed quickly. The two black spheres finally separated and gradually dispersed, revealing Wang Teng and Devil Emperor Bare Brain.
The former blinked and quickly collected the attribute bubbles produced by the exchange.
Dark Domain*150
Dark Domain*220
Dark Domain*120
Our hero immediately felt his Dark Domain becoming stronger as the bubbles merged into his body. He was elated.
Dark Domain: 790/4000 (fourth-level)
You are the most talented dark apparition Ive ever seen. Bare Brain looked at Wang Teng with a troubled expression. He felt emotional.
Its all because of your guidance, Wang Teng replied.
Bare Brain was satisfied by the response. Teaching a highly talented disciple gave him a great sense of achievement.
You have grasped the first phase of the transformation, which is called actualization. You have turned your domain power into something solid, making its strength at least three times greater than other domains at the same level.
Actualization! Wang Teng repeated the word. He recalled the changes to his domain over the past few days and felt that the description was accurate. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, Are there other phases?
Bare Brain glanced at him and replied calmly, Of course. However, its too early for you to know about them.
This fellow is quite bold.
He just grasped the actualization phase yet hes already eyeing the other phases.
Wang Teng felt at a loss. These formidable characters always like to leave me hanging.
Looks like itll be impossible to find this out through this guy.
Nevermind. Im lucky enough to learn of the first phase. I cant ask for too much; maybe Im too greedy, Wang Teng thought.
If Bare Brain hadnt executed the actualization phase, he wouldnt have been able to collect attribute bubbles, so who knows when he would grasp it?
Contentment needed to be learned!
If others knew he attained full grasp of the actualization phase within a few days, they might have turned red with envy.
Also, having attained this phase on one of his domains, he could attain the same with the others. This was his greatest gain.
He started to get excited as he thought about this prospect.
Thank you, sir, Wang Teng thanked him sincerely.
Theres no need to thank me. I wouldnt have taught you if you werent a genius. You created this opportunity for yourself. Bare Brain waved a hand and disappeared.
Leaving me here again? Wang Teng stretched his back; the devil armor covering his body disappeared slowly, revealing his true self. His gaze became stern as he said, Its about time.
Concurrently
Somewhere in the mountains, within a giant, camouflaged battlecraft, General Cameron and the other generals stood in front of the control station, grim-faced. The atmosphere was tense.
Wang Tengs clone was also with them. He was resting with closed eyes.
Suddenly, he opened them and said, General Cameron, we can start.
Yes!
The generals gazes became sharp and their fighting aura took over. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Somewhere in the forest, numerous battlecrafts received an order and started charging energy. The force cannons gave off dazzling glows of different colors, all aimed at the valley where the dark apparitions were located.
In a matter of seconds, the cannons finished charging and fired. Countless shots soared through the sky, leaving a trail of light behind them as they rushed to the creatures hiding place like a net.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying explosions were heard. The dark apparitions stared at the sky in astonishment before the entire valley exploded.
