The balance of the battle began to tilt. Although the dark apparitions outside the protective shield were still attacking with all their might, it was impossible for them to break into the battle fortress.
This time, the dark apparition only sent out a Demon Emperor-level existence.
It was the Slothful Mist Demon Emperor.
It had been pinned down by Tiki and had no chance to attack the protective shield.
The strongest of the remaining dark apparitions was only Demon King-level. Their attacks could not break through the intact protective shield in a short period of time.
The remaining dark apparitions in the battle fortress were quickly cleared out by the warriors' hard work.
At the same time, a large number of heavy Runes were activated and began to bombard the dark apparitions outside the protective shield.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Multicolored origin power flickered and rushed into the dark apparition army outside, triggering a terrifying explosion.
Countless dark apparitions were blasted into the air like broken sacks and then torn apart like disassembled dolls.
Large numbers of dark apparitions were being harvested. Wang Teng stood at the top of a tall building and used his Psychic Power to pick up the scattered attribute bubbles through the protective shield.
[Dark Force * 200]
[Dark Force * 300]
[Emperor Spirit * 50]
[Dark Force * 150]
[Soul Spirit * 120]
[Dark Star Force * 600]
…
Many low-level dark apparitions were used as cannon fodder to charge and break through enemy lines. Hence, the attribute bubbles they dropped were uneven.
Wang Teng did not look at them in detail. He would pick them up first.
With so many attribute bubbles, even if their levels were not high, it was still a good harvest.
…
Boom!
In the sky, the battle between Tiki and the Slothful Mist Demon Emperor was getting more and more intense. The roar continued and shook the sky.
Tiki's green domain and the Slothful Mist Demon Emperor's black mist kept colliding and weakening each other.
Tiki had truly mastered the wind domain, but the Slothful Mist Demon Emperor was not to be outdone. Although its black mist was not a real domain, it was equivalent to a pseudo-domain. It actually managed to withstand Tiki's domain.
It was obvious how difficult it was to deal with a dark apparition. Especially a powerful dark apparition, they were even more difficult to deal with.
Unless one was an extremely talented prodigy, it was very rare for one to be able to go against a dark apparition, unless one's cultivation level was much higher than theirs.
After an intense collision, the Tiki and the Slothful Mist Demon Emperor separated.
"Slothful Mist Demon Emperor, you've lost!" Tiki looked at the situation below and said indifferently.
The Slothful Mist Demon Emperor snorted coldly as a fierce light flickered in his scarlet eyes. "Do you think this is the end?"
Tiki couldn't help but frown. He didn't know why Demon Emperor Qingwu was still so confident in the current situation.
Boom!
As soon as the Demon Emperor finished speaking, the black mist around him suddenly began to churn, spreading into the sky at a visible rate.
"Not good!"
Tiki's expression changed slightly. He didn't know what the Demon Emperor was trying to do, but the black mist was no ordinary mist, so he definitely couldn't allow it to spread.
Green light flickered on the surface of his body, and within the green domain, a violent gale swept out, whistling as it blew towards the black fog.
"Hahaha, you're too naive. My Slothful Mist isn't that easy to disperse." The Demon Emperor laughed loudly.
The black mist was abnormally dense, and it showed no signs of dissipating as the gale blew past. On the contrary, it began to sink slowly, enveloping the warriors below.
Tiki's expression was gloomy. He could use his green domain to wear down the Demon Emperor's black mist, but he didn't expect to be unable to disperse it with a gale.
As it sank, the black mist enveloped the entire war fortress.
"What's this?" Wang Teng's expression froze. His psychic power gushed out and formed an invisible barrier around him, keeping the black mist outside.
However, Wang Teng's psychic power was actually eroded when the black mist came into contact with the psychic barrier and showed signs of weakening.
His expression shifted slightly as he had no choice but to continuously use his psychic power to replenish the weakened barrier.
The other warriors weren't so lucky. They also reacted by forming a barrier with their origin power to block the black mist.
However, their origin power defenses weren't as strong as Wang Teng's psychic power defenses and were more easily eroded by the black mist.
Many warriors didn't even have time to react before the black mist invaded their bodies.
As soon as the black mist entered their bodies, these warriors seemed to have lost all their strength. Their essence, energy, and spirit were completely depleted. Their faces were numb, and they looked like walking corpses.
Wang Teng had been paying attention to everyone's changes. His heart sank when he saw this scene.
"These people are all affected!"
"I know, that's the Slothful Mist!" Yuan Gungun exclaimed.
"What's the Slothful Mist?" Wang Teng asked.
"Look at my memory. I should've remembered when I saw the black mist. There's a race of dark apparitions called the Slothful Demons. They're born with the ability to gather the inertia of living beings and form an existence similar to the black mist. It's a unique means of attack. These people are affected by the Slothful Mist and have become sluggish. They can't muster up any motivation." Yuan Gungun patted his head as if he had just remembered.
"Slothful Demons! Slothful Mist! " Wang Teng muttered in his heart. He didn't expect there to be such a strange race among the dark apparitions. He couldn't help but feel surprised. At the same time, his expression was a little strange. "So, after these people are affected by the Slothful Mist, it's as if their bones have been extracted. They become sluggish, but it doesn't seem to be too harmful."
"It also depends on the situation. If it's under normal circumstances, it's indeed nothing. At most, it will wear down a person's willpower. Moreover, the effect of the Slothful Mist is limited. If it doesn't affect them for a long time, the effect will wear off very quickly. However, it's different on the battlefield," Yuan Gungun said.
"On the battlefield, these people don't even have the will to kill the enemy. They can only become lambs waiting to be slaughtered," Wang Teng continued.
"Yes!" Yuan Gungun's tone was serious as he nodded.
"Fortunately, the dark apparitions outside can't come in for the time being. However, this can't go on." Wang Teng's expression couldn't help but become serious. He originally thought that the battle would be one-sided after the formation was repaired. He didn't expect the Slothful Mist Demon King to turn the situation around as soon as he made a move.
Indeed, every ultimate powerhouse had the ability to affect the entire battle!
At this moment, Wang Teng's expression changed slightly. He was distracted and almost let the Slothful Mist erode his spiritual force defense layer and invade his body.
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and immediately replenished the consumption of his Spiritual Force.
A Stellar-level's spiritual force was extremely vast. Although the Slothful Mist was strange, it wasn't known for its attack power. It couldn't break through the defense layer in one go and wouldn't be a threat to him in the short term.
However, it would still be troublesome if he allowed it to affect the defense layer.
"Right!" An idea suddenly flashed in Wang Teng's mind. He quietly activated the Dark Star Origin Power and used his spiritual force as a cover to mix the Dark Star Origin Power into his spiritual force.
As Wang Teng had expected, the Slothful Mist's influence on the Dark Star Origin Power was so small that it was almost negligible.
Moreover, the Slothful Mist seemed to automatically recognize the Dark Star Origin Power after coming into contact with it and dispersed from the side. Wang Teng's position immediately became a vacuum zone for the Slothful Mist.
"Eh, the Slothful Mist has dispersed. What's going on?" Yuan Gungun also noticed this and was very surprised.
Since Wang Teng used his spiritual force to conceal the Dark Star Origin Power, Yuan Gungun didn't discover the existence of the Dark Star Origin Power.
"It's probably because I'm a good person." Wang Teng felt relieved and made up a story.
"Like hell I'll believe you!" Yuan Gungun rolled his eyes.
Wang Teng chuckled and didn't explain. His figure flashed and rushed down.
He had to find a way to disperse the Slothful Mist as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In the sky, Tiki's expression turned ugly when he saw this scene. He looked at the Slothful Mist Demon King with murderous eyes.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" The Slothful Mist Demon King laughed sinisterly and ordered, "Attack! Those who break the formation will be heavily rewarded!"
As his voice spread, the dark apparitions outside the formation became ferocious. They roared furiously as they charged toward the defensive formation and launched an attack.
"Gather in one place and attack together!" a demon-king-level dark apparition shouted and commanded from behind.
They weren't stupid. Their separate attacks had little effect. They knew that they could only break the formation if they attacked together.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The formation trembled continuously under the attacks of a large number of dark apparitions.
The warriors within the formation were affected by the Slothful Mist and didn't seem to care at all. It was as if they didn't know that a disaster was about to befall them.
Some of the warriors who managed to block the Slothful Mist were shaken. They couldn't help but feel despair when they saw their companions walking around like zombies and losing their souls.
There were also some who didn't want to give up. They shook their companions around them and shouted loudly in an attempt to wake them up.
"Wake up, wake up! The dark apparitions are attacking!"
"Bastards, what are you doing? Wake up!"
"Damn it, this black mist is so strange. They've all been affected and can't wake up at all."
…
Wang Teng stood in mid-air and activated his Spiritual Sight and Eye of Force. The two eye powers overlapped as he scanned the area below him. He could see through the bodies of the martial warriors with one glance.
Every warrior had their own Force glow. However, at this moment, there were also traces of black threads condensed by the Slothful Mist in their Force glow.
These black threads were tightly entangled in their Force, affecting their bodies.
Some of them had even inhaled too much Slothful Mist, and the Slothful Mist had already invaded their consciousness.
Wang Teng frowned as he thought quickly.
Suddenly, he had an idea. A wisp of white holy flame rose from his hand and floated quietly above his palm.
"I wonder if the holy flame can restrain the Slothful Mist?"
"I don't care. Let's try it first."
Wang Teng didn't hesitate. He scanned the crowd and finally locked his gaze on one person.
Clive!
It's you!
Anyway, this guy wasn't very friendly to him. It shouldn't be a big deal to cripple or kill him, right?
Wang Teng immediately rolled out his Psychic Power and controlled a wisp of holy flame to enter Clive's head.
The process was very rough!
Wang Teng directly controlled the holy flame to circle around Clive's consciousness, dispelling the Slothful Mist. Then, it circulated through Clive's body again, burning together with the Force to expel the Slothful Mist.
Although it was very rough, the speed was also much faster.
Moreover, the effect was excellent. The Slothful Mist was completely removed.
"What's wrong with me?" Clive trembled and immediately woke up. His face was a little pale as he muttered to himself, "Why do I feel like my body has been hollowed out?"
Wang Teng smiled inwardly and ignored him. Since this method proved to be effective, he would continue to eliminate them in batches.
With his ability to multitask and his proficiency in controlling Psychic Power, it was at most a little strenuous to expel the Slothful Mist in so many people's bodies at the same time, but it wasn't impossible.
But before that, he still had to disperse the Slothful Mist around them first. Otherwise, they would be affected again after he had just removed the Slothful Mist from their bodies. Wouldn't that be a waste of time and energy?
Wang Teng worked on two fronts at the same time, controlling the holy flame to sweep out and dispel the Slothful Mist.
His holy flame wasn't a complete flame and shouldn't have been able to cover such a large area, but he had Light Origin Power.
Light Origin Power could be used as fuel to make the holy flame more vigorous.
Whoosh ~
The monstrous white flames filled the sky, and the Slothful Mist in the surroundings melted as if it had met its nemesis.
This immediately attracted the attention of the Slothful Mist Demon Emperor. His expression changed drastically, and he cried out in shock,
"Holy Flame!"
"Damn it, how does that brat have the holy flame?!"
The Slothful Mist Demon King couldn't believe it. As a Demon King, it rarely encountered such a situation that made it lose its composure.
But now it had.
The holy flame was a type of flame that completely countered dark apparitions. Its appearance at this time was undoubtedly a heavy blow to it!
Tiki also had a strange look in his eyes. He looked at Wang Teng and suddenly felt that he couldn't see through him.
Where did this brat come from?
How did he master so many unexpected things?
Wang Teng didn't know the reactions of the human and demon.
After dispelling the Slothful Mist, he also separated wisps of holy flame and sent them into the warriors' bodies to quickly remove the Slothful Mist in their bodies.
Wang Teng was much gentler to these warriors. At least, he wasn't as rough as he was to Clive.
Even if he used the holy flame to burn the Origin Power in their bodies, it would only burn the part that was contaminated by the Slothful Mist. Hence, their Origin Power consumption was relatively low.
The warriors woke up one by one. Previously, they had been affected by the Slothful Mist. Although they had become lazy, it wasn't that they didn't know anything. Now that they had recovered, they couldn't help but be shocked and angry.
They were actually affected by the black mist and had lost their fighting spirit.
Everyone shuddered at the thought of the strange state they had fallen into just now.
It was too scary!
If they could only live in that state in the future, they might as well die.
Everyone had a new understanding of the dark apparition's methods, as well as … fear!
"What are you waiting for? Counterattack!" Wang Teng shouted softly, his voice echoing in the sky.
Everyone came back to their senses and couldn't help but look up.
At this moment, Wang Teng's face was slightly pale due to the excessive consumption of his Psychic Power. However, he still controlled his Psychic Power and holy flame to dispel the Slothful Mist and help more people wake up.
"He saved us!" In the crowd, Olivia's expression changed, and a complicated light flashed in her eyes.
Clive also saw this scene and gritted his teeth. Why did everyone else wake up, but only he felt that his body had been hollowed out?
Was this guy using his position to take revenge?
However, he couldn't find any evidence. This made him very depressed and frustrated.
After a moment of hesitation, everyone finally reacted. They were like enraged beasts as they crazily blasted out powerful attacks, venting their anger on the dark apparitions outside the formation.
Take the blame for the Slothful Mist Demon King!
Boom!
