Nine-layered Dark World!
This name appeared on the last page of A Brief History of the Dark World, and there was only a short description.
Wang Teng's expression suddenly became uncertain.
What did it mean?
There were nine layers in the Dark World?
What kind of joke was this?
From A Brief History of the Dark World, it could be seen that this layer of the Dark World was already unimaginably large.
If there were nine layers, how big would it be?
Wang Teng suddenly remembered that the Dark World where Black Raven City was located seemed to be called the Low-Level Dark World.
If he speculated from the strength of the dark apparitions,
The strongest in the Dark World where Black Raven City was located seemed to be at the Demon Monarch level.
Then, the so-called low-level Dark World was most likely the lowest level.
Just like the Earth Star where Wang Teng was originally located.
Hiss!
He couldn't help but gasp.
It was terrifying to think about!
If the Dark World where Black Raven City was located was the lowest layer, then … what layer of the Dark World where he was now?
Wang Teng couldn't speculate anymore because he found that there were many powerful dark apparitions in this layer of the Dark World.
From the moment he entered the city, he saw many dark apparitions at the Upper Demon Emperor level.
So in this layer of the Dark World, there were at least Upper Demon Emperor level dark apparitions.
Based on this level of combat power, this layer was at least the third or fourth layer, right?
Unfortunately, there was no relevant description in A Brief History of the Dark World. It only mentioned the so-called "Nine-Layered Dark World," and then it stopped abruptly.
So he couldn't speculate on how the Nine-Layered Dark World was divided.
Wang Teng was helpless. A big secret about the Dark World was right in front of him, but the clue was cut off. It was infuriating.
"There should be relevant ancient books and materials here."
Wang Teng's eyes flickered as he looked at the depths of the rows of stone walls and thought to himself.
Originally, he didn't care much about the books on the first floor, but now it seemed that he had to take it seriously.
Even if there was nothing on the first floor, there must be something on the second floor.
The authority of the second floor was higher than that of the first floor. There were definitely more highly confidential ancient books and materials.
Next,
Wang Teng continued to pick up the attribute bubbles on the first floor of the library. No matter what it was,
Absorb them all.
[Qingyang Demonic Technique * 2500]
[Initial Magic Change * 5000]
Lazy Fog Technique * 2600
Blood Crow Technique * 3500
Hundred Dark Tribes * 8500
…
He absorbed it as he walked.
His eyes flashed continuously as various comprehensions appeared in his mind.
Green Goat Devil Art!
This was the cultivation technique of the Sheep-headed Devil Clan. It was said that after cultivating it, a sheep head would grow out.
Wang Teng didn't even think about it and immediately sealed up this cultivation method.
Although the Sheep-headed Demon dark apparitions were quite powerful, they looked ugly and didn't fit his aesthetic standards.
Dark apparitions like the Blood Race and the Armor Devil Race were better. At least they wouldn't affect his appearance.
There was also the Underworld Deity Clan that he had recently acquired. Their talents were pretty good as well. They were almost no different from humans.
Some Nether God Clan dark apparitions with lower bloodlines would grow horns on their heads, but those with higher bloodlines would not.
The Nether Deity Body that Wang Teng had obtained was the highest level talent of the Nether Deity Clan. Therefore, other than his hair turning purple and some patterns growing on his body, he was not much different from a human.
If he had the chance, he could get a Nether God Clan character to play with.
Cultivation techniques like the Blood Crow Technique and the Lazy Fog Technique belonged to the Blood Race and the Lazy Fog Clan respectively. Wang Teng had both, and they were of a higher level. Therefore, there was nothing worth paying attention to.
However, that [Devil Change: Initial Release] caught his attention.
This was a book that specialized in explaining Devil Change!
Devil Change was a technique that almost every dark apparition had to master.
At the same time, it was their innate ability.
However, in order to completely unleash the power of Devil Change, one had to go through postnatal comprehension and cultivation.
Although Wang Teng had obtained quite a number of Devil Change attribute bubbles and had pushed the realm of Devil Change to almost perfection, to be honest, he still didn't understand the origin of Devil Change very well.
This [Demonic Change: Basics] was perfect to fill in the gaps in this aspect.
"Activating the dark power in the depths of the dark apparition's bloodline and resonating with an indescribable power in the dark, thus producing an indescribable change. This is Devil Change."
Wang Teng's eyes flickered slightly. He was truly shocked.
In that instant, all sorts of details regarding the Devil Change flashed through his mind, giving him a slight understanding of the essence of the Devil Change.
Darkness!
Indescribable!
This was undoubtedly filled with mystery and strangeness, making it impossible for people to grasp.
Perhaps even dark apparitions didn't really understand darkness. This could be seen from the Darkness Altar, Darkness Sacrifice, and other incomparably terrifying methods.
In short, dark apparitions didn't know anything about darkness.
Wang Teng shook his head and collected his thoughts.
This Devil Change Basics was just the beginning, after all. He quickly grasped it.
Next, another attribute appeared in his mind.
The Hundred Dark Races!
The images of the dark races appeared in Wang Teng's mind one after another, causing a trace of surprise to appear in his eyes.
Blood Race, Demon Brain Race, Bone Spirit Race, Armor Demon Race, Sheep-headed Demon Race, Demon Moth Race, and so on …
Almost all the dark races that Wang Teng knew appeared in his mind.
There were even some that he didn't understand and had never seen before. Now that they appeared in his mind, it was an eye-opener for him.
"I didn't expect there to be so many dark races." Wang Teng touched his chin, revealing a strange look in his eyes. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
He had encountered quite a number of dark apparitions along the way.
But now, he realized that his knowledge was just a drizzle.
There were still many dark apparitions.
It was just that some dark apparitions had never appeared in the original universe and were very mysterious.
The only thing that made Wang Teng feel strange was that the dark apparition of the Nether God Race didn't have any description in the Hundred Dark Races.
"Could it be that the Nether God Race is very high-level?" Wang Teng was a little surprised and secretly guessed.
Along the way, Wang Teng also saw quite a number of dark apparitions. They were basically existences below the Lower Demon Emperor level.
They stopped in front of the various slots. Some were ready to exchange for the books they needed, while others were still hesitating.
There were all kinds of dark apparitions, but most of them were from the Armor Devil Race. It seemed that this Black Armor City was the headquarters of the Armor Devil Race.
They also noticed Wang Teng and were very surprised because this guy didn't look like he was looking for books. Instead, he looked like he was here to watch the fun.
No one knew that this dark apparition of the Armor Devil Race, who seemed to be doing nothing while walking in the library, had actually obtained a huge amount of enlightenment that outsiders couldn't imagine in an instant.
After a while, Wang Teng finished browsing the entire first floor of the library and couldn't help but frown.
No Dark Star Art?
Or Dark Star Art?
Wang Teng was a little puzzled. He came here this time mainly to look for the dark attribute "Star" Art.
Now, among the universe-level techniques, only the dark attribute "Star" Art had yet to be obtained.
Although he didn't have any evidence to confirm whether the dark attribute "Star" Art really existed.
After all, this "Star" Art might have been created by a human warrior, so it was naturally impossible for the dark attribute "Star" Art to exist.
Not everyone was as abnormal as him to be able to cultivate the dark attribute Star Force with a human body.
But since he was here, he had to look for it.
Maybe it really existed.
Maybe …
Wang Teng pondered and walked toward the entrance of the second floor.
Since the first floor didn't have it, he could only go to the second floor to take a look.
Perhaps the Dark Attribute "Star" Formula was a bit special and was placed on the second level.
When the dark apparitions on the first floor saw this scene, they couldn't help but be surprised. They watched Wang Teng walk up to the second floor.
Where did this weirdo come from? He could obviously go up to the second floor, but he walked around the first floor for a long time.
Many dark apparitions secretly cursed.
However, they didn't dare to say it out loud. Being able to go up to the second floor meant that this dark apparition's identity wasn't simple. They could only stay on the first floor, so they naturally couldn't afford to offend him.
Wang Teng walked up the stairs to the second floor. When he came to the entrance of the second floor, a light curtain blocked him.
After being stunned for a moment, he smiled faintly, took out the middle-rank Demon Emperor-level token, and scanned the light curtain in front of him.
Pop!
After a ray of light flashed, the light curtain slowly split open, allowing one person to pass through.
Wang Teng walked in.
The stone walls on the second floor were no less than those on the first floor. In fact, there were even more. The collection inside was naturally more than the first floor.
Of course, there were also more attribute bubbles.
One by one, attribute bubbles floated around the stone walls, waiting for the arrival of Wang Teng, the excavator.
Otherwise, they would only dissipate with time, which would be a pure waste.
Pick them up!
Wang Teng didn't hesitate at all. He directly swept out his Psychic Power and picked up all the attribute bubbles.
Those attribute bubbles were like swallows returning to their nest, flying toward Wang Teng and merging into his body.
This scene was very spectacular, but no one saw it at all.
There were also many dark apparitions on the second floor, but they just glanced at Wang Teng and no longer paid attention to him. They were busy with their own things.
Most of them were middle-rank Demon Emperor-level existences. There were very few lower-rank Demon Emperor-level existences.
Although they were somewhat surprised to see a lower-rank Demon Emperor-level being able to come up, they naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to a lower-rank Demon Emperor-level little guy.
[Phantom Mirage Codex * 5000]
[Moth Emperor Demonic Scripture * 3600]
[Lazy Fog Demonic Scripture * 4500]
[Demonic Armor Scripture * 5200]
[Dark Star Art * 3200]
…
A large number of insights instantly emerged in Wang Teng's mind, giving him a shock.
They were all techniques above middle-rank Demon Emperor-level!!!
There was even no lack of upper-rank Demon Emperor-level techniques.
This made Wang Teng very surprised and surprised.
The classics on the second floor were so much more advanced than those on the first floor. It was a little unbelievable.
It seemed that this middle-rank Demon Emperor-level token was really valuable.
"Phantom Mirage Codex!" Wang Teng's eyes flashed with a strange look. The insights in his mind surprised him.
This turned out to be a technique of the Phantom Mirage Race.
Wang Teng had encountered the dark apparitions of the Phantom Mirage Race before, but he had never obtained a technique of the Phantom Mirage Race. He didn't expect to get one this time.
A series of insights emerged in his mind, causing his understanding of the Phantom Mirage Codex to improve rapidly, directly reaching the Proficient level.
[Phantom Mirage Codex] (Demon Emperor-level): 1000/5000 (Proficient);
At the same time, Wang Teng also had a little understanding of the mystery of the Phantom Mirage Codex.
He had to admit that the Phantom Mirage Codex was indeed unique. Cultivating this technique could transform the power of darkness into the power of the Phantom Mirage Race and had the ability to create illusions.
Once contaminated by the power of the Phantom Mirage Race, one would fall into an illusion and be unable to extricate oneself.
It could be said that the ability of the Phantom Mirage Race was to create illusions. The stronger they were, the more terrifying the illusions they created. Once on the extraterritorial battlefield, the Human Clan warriors were very wary of them.
Now that he had mastered this technique, Wang Teng was quite immune to the means of the Phantom Mirage Race. At the very least, he would not be as defenseless as the other Human Clan warriors.
From this perspective, the more means Wang Teng had mastered, the easier it would be to deal with the dark apparitions.
To others, the dark apparitions were extremely difficult opponents, but to Wang Teng, they were not so scary.
In fact, he had always felt that the dark apparitions were similar to the Human Clan warriors.
Of course, he would definitely not say this out loud.
Otherwise, he would more or less be suspected of being pretentious.
Next was the second attribute bubble — the Moth Emperor Magic Codex!
This technique belonged to the Demon Moth Race, which was also a dark race he had encountered before.
Moreover, the power of darkness of the Demon Moth Race dark apparitions contained the power of poison, which was an ability that other dark apparitions did not possess.
[Moth Emperor Magic Codex] (Demon Emperor-level): 2600/3000 (Proficient);
3600 attribute points allowed Wang Teng's mastery of this technique to reach the Proficient level. Although it was not as good as the Phantom Mirage Codex, it was still very good.
Wang Teng nodded in satisfaction.
This technique was a unique Emperor-level technique of the Demon Moth Race. After cultivating it, the power of darkness would contain a trace of poison, which was very difficult to deal with.
Wang Teng himself had the talent of poison, so he could naturally cultivate this technique.
There was no doubt that this was another good gain.
In addition, the Lazy Fog Demonic Technique and the Demonic Armor Codex were both Demon Emperor-level techniques that Wang Teng had mastered before. This time, after picking up the attribute bubbles, his mastery level had increased by a lot.
[Lazy Fog Demonic Technique] (Demon Emperor-level): 1500/5000 (Proficient);
[Demonic Armor Codex] (Demon Emperor-level): 3200/5000 (Proficient);
Wang Teng was very happy. This was a pleasant surprise. He did not expect both techniques to be upgraded from the Proficient level to the Proficient level.
He continued to absorb and digest the insights in his mind. Suddenly, he was stunned.
"Dark Star Formula!"
Wang Teng's eyes suddenly burst into a ball of light, as if he had seen something extremely important. His expression was slightly shocked, and he became serious. Then, he closed his eyes and carefully comprehended.
"Phew!"
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
Found it!
The Dark World really did have the Dark Star Formula.
It was not the Dark Star Formula, nor the Dark Star Formula. It was the Dark Star Formula.
From the insights of this Dark Star Formula, it was not difficult to see that there was a certain connection between it and the Star Formula that Wang Teng had obtained before.
And they were completely a series.
All kinds of circulation routes, the human body acupoints involved, and so on, were all connected.
At this moment, a strange picture appeared in Wang Teng's mind.
Eleven human-shaped light shadows appeared at the same time.
There were different cultivation routes and acupoints on these human-shaped light shadows. They were different, but they were connected.
In the next moment, Wang Teng's thoughts moved, and the eleven human-shaped light shadows instantly overlapped.
A huge and complicated diagram of the human body appeared. It was like a star map. The circulation routes and acupoints covered the entire human body, forming a complicated and mysterious system.
However, this system was only in its embryonic form. There were still many parts that could not be connected, and it was not a complete whole.
In order to completely fuse together, it wasn't something that could be done just by overlapping.
Otherwise, the person who created the Star Formula would have merged them long ago, and not separated and existing independently.
However, to Wang Teng, this was enough.
A embryonic form was enough to save him a lot of time.
Moreover, he had already created the Chaos Star Formula that could break through to the Universe Level. He already had a foundation.
Now, he only needed to continue comprehending and deducing on this foundation, and the difficulty had decreased by many times.
Breaking through to the Domain Lord level was just around the corner.
"Very good!" Wang Teng opened his eyes, and the complicated human-shaped light shadows in his mind disappeared. His face under the armor involuntarily revealed a hint of surprise.
The heavens did not disappoint those who worked hard. He finally found all the Universe Level Star Formula cultivation methods.
It was really not easy!
Wang Teng sighed in his heart. He could not help but laugh and shake his head. Then, he stopped thinking about it and continued to stroll around the second floor.
Now that he had found the Star Formula of the Darkness Attribute cultivation method, Wang Teng's main goal was achieved. However, there was still a secondary goal.
To find information about the Dark World!
He absorbed attribute bubbles one by one. There were cultivation methods, and also some miscellaneous Dark World scriptures. However, these scriptures were not of much help to Wang Teng. He only stored them temporarily and did not pay much attention to them.
As for the cultivation methods, most of them were dark race cultivation methods that he knew. Other than the first few, there was nothing new.
After all, this was the city of the Armor Devil race. Other powerful dark race cultivation methods could not be stored here.
Time passed slowly. After more than half a day, Wang Teng went downstairs and left.
The guardians of the library: "???"
Wang Teng's actions directly puzzled them. This guy strolled around for more than half a day and did not exchange anything. Was he playing?
In the attic at the top of the library, several guardians looked at each other. The corners of their eyes could not help but twitch.
"Which family is this little bastard from?" An old voice came from the mouth of an Armor Devil race dark apparition.
"His name is Jia Teng Ying. He seems to be from somewhere else and is not from our Black Armor City," another Armor Devil race dark apparition said.
It was obvious that the moment Wang Teng stepped into the library, his information had been obtained by the guardians of the library through the entry token.
"Forget it. He's just a Lower Demon Emperor. If he didn't exchange anything, then so be it. There's no need to make a fuss."
In the end, the guardians were really puzzled. They could only shake their heads and close their eyes again, silently guarding this ancient library.
"Sir!"
At the entrance of the library, Vera saw Wang Teng coming out and immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Let's go!" Wang Teng nodded and left with Vera.
The two soon returned to Jakos' castle. They also took a flying car and Vera paid for it.
Vera couldn't help but roll her eyes.
The status of this Armor Devil race dark apparition should not be low, right? He couldn't even afford such a small fare?
Or was he just scamming her?
But no matter what, she couldn't resist or refuse.
Vera felt that her future life might be hopeless.
"You guard the door. If Jakus comes, let me know."
Wang Teng instructed. Just as he was about to enter his room, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
"By the way, I will ask it for you. You will follow me in the future."
"Yes," Vera replied expressionlessly.
She was not originally one of Jakos' people. She just snuck in through some channels. Now, she had completely lost her freedom.
Wang Teng did not care about her thoughts. Anyway, under his bewitchment, this hybrid would not be able to escape.
Jakos, the son of the city owner, was still recovering from his injuries. Wang Teng did not disturb him. He returned to his room alone and closed the door to organize what he had obtained from the library.
He already knew what the so-called Nine-Layered Dark World was.
As the name suggested, this dark world was divided into nine layers. Each layer was vast and boundless.
Rumor had it that the Nine-Layered Dark World was obtained by the central dark universe swallowing other universes. It gradually formed nine layers, one layer after another, interconnected and independent.
This method could be said to be extremely shocking.
What exactly was the central dark universe?
It could actually swallow other universes to strengthen itself. It was simply unimaginable.
In the information that Wang Teng obtained, there was no description of the central dark universe. No matter how he searched on the second floor of the library, he could not find any relevant information.
So, he could only give up.
To be honest, when Wang Teng received this news, he also took a long time to slowly accept it.
The scale of the Dark World was truly shocking. If the human race experts knew the truth of the Dark World, who knew how they would feel?
Wang Teng did not know.
But he felt that it was best not to rashly release this news. It was enough to let some higher-ups know.
For ordinary martial artists, knowing too much was not beneficial to them at all.
At first, Wang Teng didn't understand why the powerful martial warriors liked to keep their secrets in suspense. But now, he understood.
He could empathize.
If the news about the Dark World was rashly spread, it would inevitably cause an unimaginable impact on many human martial artists. It might even destroy many people's martial arts hearts.
It was better to wait for them to slowly grow and reach a certain state of mind. Then, they would slowly come into contact with the truth of the world. The impact would be much smaller.
Wang Teng took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
The Dark World was huge and also full of strangeness. But he did not believe that he could not find a way to defeat the darkness.
Light and darkness had always been opposing and coexisting.
If there was darkness, there should be light!
What right did darkness have to be unique? What right did it have to be the only one in eternity? This was not scientific.
Anyway, Wang Teng never believed in the eternal darkness. It was all nonsense.
Moreover, the human race had experts who could travel through time and space. The other party could even do such a heaven-defying thing. They might have other plans.
What he needed to do now was not to think so much. Instead, he needed to walk step by step and become an expert. He needed to stand at the peak of martial arts. Only then would he be qualified to change anything.
Three days later, Marcus finally came out of seclusion and came to find Wang Teng.
"My good brother, I haven't seen you for three days. Did you miss me?"
When Marcus saw Wang Teng open the door, he immediately opened his arms enthusiastically and wanted to give him a hug.
Wang Teng took a step back and dodged. He looked at him expressionlessly. "I don't like men."
"Cough cough!" Marcus opened his arms and coughed awkwardly. "I don't like men either. Please don't misunderstand."
"That's good." Wang Teng said indifferently. "Seems like you have completely recovered."
"Hehe, although my strength is not as good as yours, I am still a famous genius in Black Armor City. If that beast did not break through and become an upper emperor, I would not have been injured." Marcus patted his chest and said, "So this injury is not that serious for me. Three days is enough to recover."
"If it were me, half a day would be enough." Wang Teng said calmly.
"…" Marcus choked. He suddenly realized that this new friend in front of him seemed to know how to act cool.
"Is there a problem if you give this maid to me?" Wang Teng suddenly pointed at the silent Vermilion Bird and asked.
"Oh?" Jakos stared blankly for a moment before looking at Vera beside him. He then smiled ambiguously and said, "It seems that I wasn't mistaken. Brother Ying is indeed a kindred spirit."
"You saved my life. A maid is nothing. I will give her to you. If it's not enough, you can choose a few more."
"No need. One is enough." Wang Teng said without any change in his expression.
As for the kindred spirit, bah, who is kindred spirit with him?
"Now that I've recovered, it's time for me to show you the local culture of Black Armor City." Marcus's gaze flickered at Wang Teng. He seemed to be winking at him.
"Local customs?!" When Wang Teng saw its expression, he didn't need to think to know that the local customs were definitely not proper.
F * ck, even a dark apparition from the Armor Devil race was like this. What kind of world was this!
"Go! Go! Go! " Marcus pulled Wang Teng and walked out. He didn't forget to turn back and say to Vera, "What's your name? Forget it, it's not important. Brother Ying and I are going out to play. You don't have to follow us. Go find the butler and get the contract. You will follow Brother Ying from now on. You are no longer my servant."
"Yes!" Vera's eyes flashed. She immediately replied respectfully.
These mixed-bloods entered Marcus' castle by signing a soul contract. This method was much better than slave collars.
After all, they weren't weak. Normal slave collars were hard to control.
In addition, slave collars would affect the appearance of the maid. Naturally, not many people were willing to use them.
Of course, those with special hobbies were different.
Therefore, if these mixed-blood servants wanted to leave, they had to get their soul contracts back.
Vera snuck into Marcus' castle and signed a soul contract as well. It could be said that she made a huge sacrifice. If her identity was accidentally exposed, she would definitely die. There was no way she could escape.
Now that Marcus asked her to get her soul contract back, her life was back in her hands.
