The snow mountain went all the way into the clouds. There was mist covering the entire peak, so it was impossible to see it clearly.
Wang Teng and Zhou Xuanwu turned into rays of light and dashed into the mist. Once they got closer, he felt a distinct space distortion.
“Be careful!” Even though Wang Teng had reached the planetary stage, he was still cautious. He reminded Zhou Xuanwu unconsciously.
He had experienced the power of a dimensional rift personally, so he knew how scary it was. Even planetary-stage martial warriors couldn’t promise that they could get out of a dimensional rift safely.
Wang Teng still remembered the Ancient God’s corpse. Even that powerful presence got killed by space distortions, much less a planetary-stage martial warrior like him.
Zhou Xuanwu knew the dangers, so he didn’t dare to be careless. He nodded hurriedly and followed behind Wang Teng like a shadow. He scanned his surroundings vigilantly to detect any signs of danger.
The two of them slowed down and slowly climbed up the peak. They pushed through the thick mist and finally arrived at the top.
Tap!
Tap!
When the two of them landed on the peak of the mountain, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. The entire space was pitch-black and covered with dense fog. They couldn’t see their surroundings clearly.
Wang Teng frowned. There was astonishment in his eyes. From the bottom, the peak was shrouded in mist. However, when they stepped into this place, they realized that the top was encased by dark clouds. They were as thick as ink.
A few bolts of silver lightning flashed across the dark clouds occasionally. They looked like silver snakes slithering back and forth among the clouds.
Zhou Xuanwu was dumbstruck. He said in a hoarse voice, “When I was sent to guard this place, I observed the dimensional rift on this peak. This wasn’t the scene I saw. Now…”
He didn’t have to continue his sentence. Anyone could tell that the situation had gotten worse.
“A more serious situation has appeared,” Wang Teng said calmly with no change in his expression.
He scanned the ground and saw many attribute bubbles floating in mid-air. These attribute bubbles were all translucent and black. He knew what they contained.
It’s you!
Dark Force!
It must be you!
Wang Teng’s eyes lit up. He released his spiritual power and swept the ground.
Get it!
Black attribute bubbles flew over to him and merged into Wang Teng’s body.
Dark Force*80
Dark Force*120
Dark Force*150
Dark Force*130
…
The attribute bubbles turned into large amounts of dark Force and floated around Wang Teng’s body. They even gave off a splashing sound like the water gurgling into a stream.
Within a few seconds, Wang Teng had gained more than 8000 points of dark Force. His dark Force advanced from the 11-star low-tier general stage to the 12-star general stage.
Dark Force: 3250/35000 (12-star)
It felt amazing to be able to rise a rank within a split second. Others wouldn’t be able to experience this joy.
Wang Teng smiled. He was overjoyed.
Zhou Xuanwu turned to look at him. He wanted to ask Wang Teng about his plans, but he coincidently saw the smile on his face. He was stunned.
“?”
What is this?
Why was he giving that sinister smile?
Did he get contaminated?
Did he get affected by the dark Force?
Numerous possibilities ran wild in Zhou Xuanwu’s mind. He stared at Wang Teng vigilantly and took a few steps back. He was prepared to run when needed.
After all, Wang Teng was a planetary-stage formidable warrior. If he got affected by the dark Force, he could only run. He didn’t want to fight with him.
No chance at all.
He wouldn’t be able to withstand a single slap from him.
“What are you doing?” Wang Teng was surprised when he saw Zhou Xuanwu’s expression. He didn’t know what had happened.
He looked like a normal person, but why was he suddenly doing stupid things?
“Wang Teng, do you feel uncomfortable?” Zhou Xuanwu asked carefully.
“Uncomfortable?” Wang Teng was puzzled. He asked in confusion, “I feel fine. Which part of me looks uncomfortable?”
“Cough, why don’t you feel your body again? Is there anything abnormal?” Zhou Xuanwu still didn’t dare to get close.
This was how a person who got contaminated with dark Force normally acted. They didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with them. Just like how a mentally ill patient would feel that he was normal!
Wang Teng was infuriated by his expression. The guy was looking at him as if he was an idiot. His face turned black, and he shouted, “You’re the abnormal one. Your entire family is abnormal!”
“Sigh…” Zhou Xuanwu heaved a long sigh when he saw the furious Wang Teng.
Good, good!
He was able to remain normal even when he was angry. This meant that he wasn’t contaminated by the dark Force.
He was fine!
“You gave me a scare. I thought you got contaminated,” he said hurriedly after confirming that Wang Teng was alright.
“I got contaminated?” Wang Teng pointed at himself in disbelief. He didn’t understand why Zhou Xuanwu felt that way.
His dark Force was at the 12-star general stage. He was a powerful presence among the dark apparitions. He wouldn’t get contaminated or receive a backlash from the dark Force.
But Zhou Xuanwu wasn’t aware of this. Only Wang Teng knew that he would never get contaminated.
“What are you thinking? I’m stronger than you. If you aren’t affected, I won’t be either.” Wang Teng was speechless.
“Well, you gave that weird smile just now. In these circumstances, anyone will think too much,” Zhou Xuanwu said in a righteous and angry tone.
Wang Teng was speechless.
It was all because of a smile!
Cough, he got dizzy with success just now.
Wang Teng felt embarrassed, but his expression didn’t change. He kept a stern face and said, “What smile? You must have seen wrong. Why would I give that smile? I was in deep thought all this while.”
Zhou Xuanwu started to doubt himself. Did he see it wrong?
No, that was impossible. As a general-stage martial warrior, he wouldn’t see wrong.
This was impossible!
A sly look flashed past Wang Teng’s eyes when he saw Zhou Xuanwu getting confused by his lie. The look only lasted for a second though. He coughed softly and said, “Let’s go and take a look around. The mist is too thick. We can’t see the situation here clearly.”
“Alright.” Zhou Xuanwu regained his senses and nodded. He stopped pondering over the question.
They didn’t separate. Instead, they headed in the same direction and prepared to circle the peak first to detect anything amiss.
The visibility was only three meters. Wang Teng activated his Spiritual Sight and scanned his surroundings.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a soft sound echoed in the mist. It was conspicuous.
“Be careful!” Wang Teng’s expression changed, and he shouted instantly.
