Chapter 3113: It's Just a Bit Undignified! Demon Mountain! Demon Mountain!

Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he couldn’t deny the sheer power of these Dark Species combat techniques.

Wang Teng sighed inwardly.

Gazing at the brutal and ferocious battle scenes unfolding in his mind, his emotions were tangled and complex.

But dwelling on such thoughts was useless—he had no choice but to accept reality.

"Jumog's Stomp!"

"The name fits quite well."

Wang Teng glanced at the technique’s title and muttered to himself.

Yet why did this style feel so mismatched with him?

It clearly suited those massive, bulky beings.

Not like him—his physique was balanced and slender, showing no trace of muscle, a man who looked thin in clothes but revealed strength when bare.

"Jumog Clan’s combat techniques are good, but they’re just too undignified."

Wang Teng let out a quiet sigh, yet suddenly an idea struck him.

"Right! Both the *Demon Armor* and *Holy Rock Plate* can form towering armored bodies!"

"They’d be perfect for executing this technique."

Having figured out how to use it, he smiled faintly, lifting his spirits once more.

Then another new combat technique flooded into his mind, forming its corresponding vision.

Again, a colossal, bloated Jumog figure materialized—but not the same one as before.

Wang Teng could sense the difference in their auras, and their appearances varied.

This Jumog Dark Species’ silhouette clearly had enormous hands, resembling giant palm fans.

The creature raised one hand and slammed it down—immediately, shadowy illusions of dark mountains emerged, roaring forward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With thunderous explosions, countless Light Universe warriors were crushed, reduced to pulp.

Pulp again!

Wang Teng’s lips twitched, his expression stiffening.

Are all Jumog Dark Species techniques this savage?!

If he ever used these Dark Techniques, would he end up turning people into pulp too?

The thought made him shudder.

He didn’t want to become that kind of warrior.

Though he loved power-based techniques, even always relying on fists to fight,

he had to admit—the sensation of flesh meeting flesh was exhilarating.

But the idea of becoming as brutally violent as the Jumogs unsettled him.

Besides, he wouldn’t turn enemies into pulp anyway.

At most, he’d blow them apart!

Yes, that was all.

(*ω*)

One could kill enemies, but shouldn’t display excessive cruelty.

Dark Species failed here—they seemed overly obsessed with torturing foes.

A bit twisted, really.

Perhaps this was precisely the darkness and evil of the Dark Species; their nature was simply like that.

"Mountain of Demons' Power Palm!"

That was the name of this technique.

Drawing inspiration from the mountain, it infused immense force into the palm strike, producing devastating power.

"It resembles earth-element techniques somewhat,"

Wang Teng mused, eyes gleaming.

But he knew full well this wasn’t truly an earth-element technique—it merely borrowed the imagery of mountains.

Mountain of Demons! Mountain of Demons!

The key wasn’t the mountain, but the demon.

This was a manifestation of dark power, a "demon essence" distinct from the "demon essence" of Candle Demon Lord.

Otherwise, Candle Demon Lord wouldn’t have been corrupted by darkness, descending into another madness.

Had the "demon essence" of darkness been identical to Candle Demon Lord’s, he wouldn’t have fallen into such a helpless state.

Candle Demon Lord himself understood this clearly, and Wang Teng did too.

And now, the "demon essence" within this Jumog technique was precisely the demonic will represented by darkness.

Thus, the "demon" in "Mountain of Demons" was the core.

Only now, having reached the minor mastery level of this lower-tier Demon Lord technique, could Wang Teng grasp this insight so clearly.

He had fully comprehended it and continued absorbing subsequent techniques.

Two consecutive lower-tier Demon Lord techniques filled him with satisfaction, yet also stirred a hint of anticipation.

These new Jumog techniques seemed quite impressive.

He hoped the final one would continue to surprise him.

Wang Teng exhaled softly, immersing his spirit into his mind.

A Jumog silhouette appeared—less massive and bloated than the previous two.

But in height, it stood at least seven or eight meters tall.

Its muscles were more defined, its grotesque body less jarring by comparison.

Of course, that was only relative.

Compared to other Dark Species, this Jumog still looked deformed and swollen.

But that wasn’t the most striking feature.

The most striking was the massive sword held in the Jumog’s hand.

The black greatsword resembled not a blade, but rather a metallic door panel.

Wang Teng felt a flicker of surprise.

He had seen Jumog Dark Species wield gauntlets, battle axes, and war hammers.

But never a longsword!

This particular Jumog Dark Species was truly unusual.

In the next instant, he wielded that massive greatsword, condensing a colossal, jet-black sword radiance that soared straight into the heavens.

An evil, dark aura permeated the void.

A terrifying phantom of a giant demon emerged following this, materializing as if it were solid matter.

In the hands of this demon phantom, a giant greatsword was likewise held, leveled directly ahead.

Boom!

With a single sword slash, the giant demon race being moved in perfect synchronization with the phantom, and the incredibly immense black sword light hacked down with a thunderous roar.

The void was actually cleaved directly into two halves, revealing a strikingly immense and terrifying rift, unfathomably deep.

A warrior of the Light Universe held a battle-axe, unleashing a fierce axe radiance to contest against it.

The two sides clashed violently, erupting with intensely rich fluctuations of Origin Force.

Although it failed to establish an outright overwhelming situation, Wang Teng was nevertheless struck with awe.

This single sword strike could not be said to be anything short of powerful!

That black sword radiance seemed to contain an unimaginable, colossal might.

This point could be discerned clearly from the sheer power contained within the axe radiance of that Light Universe warrior.

This was revealed through comparison!

The axe radiance unleashed by that Light Universe warrior was clearly an Earth-series battle technique, likewise containing immense strength.

As everyone knew, among many battle techniques, the attacks erupted by battle-axes and war hammers always contained extremely formidable power.

Being able to contend against it was sufficient to demonstrate the power of that black sword radiance.

The subsequent scene was not revealed; it was merely the clash itself, yet Wang Teng had already completely absorbed the comprehension.

"So little!"

Frowning, he looked toward the attribute panel.

Giant Demon Mad Sword Slash!

Mid-tier Demon Venerable level battle technique!

Proficient level!

This degree of mastery was not low, but the comprehension within it left Wang Teng somewhat disappointed.

Failing to see the final outcome left one with a lingering sense of unfulfilled anticipation.

However, he also knew that for beings capable of executing a mid-tier Demon Venerable level battle technique, battles of that level were not so easily decided in terms of victory or defeat.

"The battle techniques of the Demon Armor race have been absorbed, next is the Demon Rock race."

Wang Teng’s eyes flashed as he looked toward the battle techniques of another dark race.

The result left him momentarily stunned.

"How are the battle techniques of these two dark races so similar?"

A sense of absurdity welled up in his heart.

It had to be said that the battle techniques of the Giant Demon race and the Demon Rock race had, to a certain extent, overlapped.

Battle-axes!

War hammers!

They almost predominantly favored these weapons.

If not for the fact that the attributes of the two dark races were completely different, he would have almost thought they shared some sort of special relationship.

...

[Demon Rock War Hammer] (High-tier Demon Emperor level): 2800/20000 (Grandmaster);

[Demon Rock Battle-Axe] (High-tier Demon Emperor level): 3500/20000 (Grandmaster);

[Demon Rock Fist] (High-tier Demon Emperor level): 5100/20000 (Grandmaster);

[Demon Rock Saber Technique] (Peak High-tier Demon Emperor level): 1800/25000 (Grandmaster);

[Demon Rock Star-Crushing Palm] (Low-tier Demon Venerable level): 5300/15000 (Minor Accomplishment);

[Demon Rock Colossal Body] (Low-tier Demon Venerable level): 7500/15000 (Minor Accomplishment);

[Demon Rock Earth-Overturning Seal] (Mid-tier Demon Venerable level): 5800/20000 (Proficient);

...

"Oh! Quite a few, similar to the battle techniques over on the Giant Demon race's side."

Wang Teng was somewhat surprised; the situation of this Demon Rock race was indeed very similar to the Giant Demon race, exposing their little tells.

Even before this, it was the same, they did not possess many battle techniques.

Strictly speaking, it was merely two techniques.

It was only through this great battle that he had obtained so many new battle techniques.

Wang Teng immediately began to absorb the comprehension.

The first two battle techniques were ones he had obtained previously, one axe technique and one hammer technique, both at the high-tier Demon Emperor level, nothing unusual.

Previously, these two battle techniques were also at the Minor Accomplishment level, but now both had been elevated to Grandmaster.

See, another point extremely similar to the Giant Demon race's battle techniques.

One could not blame Wang Teng for overthinking things.

"The battle techniques created by this Demon Rock race do not seem to be numerous either; they all specialize in a few specific techniques."

He speculated in his heart.

After all, being able to elevate high-tier Demon Emperor level battle techniques to the Grandmaster level was indeed no simple feat.

The Demon Rock race appeared just like the Giant Demon race, both possessing an air of not being very bright, as if their heads were stuffed full of rocks.

Yet they were able to cultivate their battle techniques to such a degree, meaning they possessed at least some true capability.

The third battle technique, however, was a newly obtained technique, and the corresponding comprehension surfaced within Wang Teng's mind.

A being of the Demon Rock race practiced a fist technique within his mind, heavy and forceful, and containing the momentum of darkness.

With every punch thrown out, it was as if a meteorite was falling, a terrifying display of power.

"..."

Wang Teng was somewhat speechless.

The Giant Demon race had a [Giant Demon Fist], and the Demon Rock race went ahead and made a [Demon Rock Fist], and they still claim it wasn’t planned together?

Could these dark races honestly just be copying back and forth from each other?!

Right now, this [Demon Rock Fist] was merely at the high-tier Demon Emperor level, and the comprehension was quickly and completely absorbed by Wang Teng.

Mainly, the comprehension of these battle techniques was no longer considered too difficult for him.

After all, he had not only obtained a large amount of Earth-series comprehension, but also quite a bit of Dark-series comprehension, which was essentially fully compatible with the battle technique comprehension of this Demon Rock race.

Under such circumstances, it was natural to infer other things by analogy and deduce many things from one.

"With more insights gained into combat techniques, even absorbing the comprehensions of these new skills has become much easier."

Wang Teng lamented in his heart, unable to suppress a grin.

At this moment, this Devil Rock Punch had also reached the mastery level, matching the Giant Devil Punch of the Giant Devil clan.

He was highly pleased.

To reach the mastery level in one fell swoop meant the dark apparitions of the Devil Rock clan were quite reliable indeed.

Just then, the insight for the fourth combat technique materialized.

A phantom image of a Devil Rock clansman coalesced, holding a dark yellow battle blade and practicing saber techniques within the void.

This saber art was open and grand, yet it simultaneously contained a sense of evil and darkness, appearing exceedingly eerie.

A trace of peculiarity flashed across Wang Teng's eyes.

Originally, earth-attribute saber techniques should be upright and proper, appearing with very little underhanded style.

This was determined by the nature of the attribute itself!

Yet this technique of the Devil Rock clan managed to exude a bizarre, unpredictable, and elusive sense of wickedness.

Wang Teng knew very well that this was the effect of the dark attribute, but he had not expected its influence to be so potent.

Evidently, within this combat technique of the Devil Rock clan, the dark attribute still held the upper hand, thereby affecting the power of the earth attribute.

"It makes sense, actually; these dark creatures, no matter what attributes they possess, will ultimately be assimilated by the darkness."

Upon closer thought, Wang Teng realized that this was indeed the case.

He had seen quite a number of dark creatures of various attributes, so he naturally understood their situation well.

Just moments ago, it was merely his first time seeing this Giant Devil clan's technique, so he had been somewhat taken aback and had not thought through it all.

"Devil Rock Saber Technique! The name is rather ordinary, quite plain and unremarkable."

Wang Teng curled his lips; had he not witnessed the true scene of its eruption, he would have nearly been fooled.

This saber technique could not be viewed simply as a common earth-attribute skill.

Those Devil Rock clansmen appeared dull and dim-witted, yet who would have thought they would employ such dark and treacherous techniques.

This suddenly reminded Wang Teng of the earth-attribute combat techniques he had obtained earlier!

At that time, he had even felt that the other party was a bit simple-minded.

Looking at it now, those were all preconceived notions, which really should not have been.

Wang Teng shook his head, looking at the attributes of this Devil Rock Saber Technique.

It was actually at the peak of the High-Tier Devil Emperor level, significantly more powerful than the previous three techniques.

He was very satisfied, and seeing that his mastery of it had likewise reached the mastery level, he was even more pleased.

"The subsequent ones seem to be Devil Venerable level combat techniques."

A sharp gleam flashed in Wang Teng's eyes as he continued to absorb the insights of the Devil Rock clan's techniques.

Right at this moment, an exceptionally massive figure appeared within his mind, striking awe into his heart.

This figure was even larger than the previous Giant Devil clansman.

Moreover, it did not appear bloated in the slightest.

Instead, it possessed a hardened and sharp, angular feel.

Wang Teng was stunned for a moment, a trace of astonishment flitting through the depths of his eyes as he hurriedly observed the specific appearance of that figure.

Its entire body seemed piled together from rocks, but it did not resemble the Sacred Rock Armor he had obtained before; rather, it looked like the version he had modified.

Those rocks even looked very much like they were piled into the shape of muscles, and they contained a dark hue, appearing exceptionally peculiar and hardened.

Black naturally evoked a sense of profound depth, and now, combined with this rocky body, it appeared even more solid and compact.

"If I had known I would obtain this technique insight, I wouldn't have rushed to modify the Sacred Rock Armor before."

Wang Teng silently complained in his heart.

Now, seeing the appearance of this Devil Rock entity, a burst of inspiration suddenly hit him again, and he felt he could still elevate the aesthetic appeal of the Sacred Rock Armor by several ranks.

He had modified it too early after all!

A loss! A total loss!

Wang Teng sighed in his heart, able only to temporarily set this thought aside and focus first on absorbing the current insight.
