Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal Chapter 1444 - 572: Despicable Inferior Demon! Power Surges! (Strength Skyrockets!)

"Strange, isn’t our strongest Celestial Demon guardian here none other than the Yeruo God?"

"Not sure! Perhaps it’s a Celestial Demon Lord from above?"

One of the Celestial Demons hinted at the distant front, and the other demons looked over, all horrified.

It turned out Wang Teng had once again transformed into a Celestial Demon form, making those demons mistake him for one of their own...

At the same moment, billions of miles away.

Wang Teng glanced back at those Celestial Demons, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

With his strength, he naturally heard the whispers of those Celestial Demons.

This gave him some new intriguing ideas.

However, he did not linger but continued rushing towards the finish line.

His primary goal now was the double reward.

That was extremely important for enhancing his strength.

Thus, Wang Teng proceeded with the trial in Taichu Heaven, racing against time...

Meanwhile, the other contestants were still undergoing the first round of trials in Taixu Heaven.

They were clearly one round slower than Wang Teng.

Time flew by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, thirteen minutes had passed.

Wang Teng finally reached the finish line.

At this moment, he looked excitedly forward.

At the end point, there was still a plaza.

In the center of the plaza, there was the Light Gate entry to Taishi Heaven.

Wang Teng’s figure flashed, and he passed through the Light Gate.

The next second, his eyes lit up, arriving at the Starting Point Plaza of Taishi Heaven.

Rumble~! Rumble~! Rumble~!

At this moment, the sky shook, accompanied by an ethereal mechanical voice...

[Congratulations to contestant Wang Teng for entering Taishi Heaven! You have passed the second round of the Star Lord Trial, earning the Fourth-Level Star Lord reward]

[Your planetary reward will automatically be upgraded to Fourth Level, to be distributed upon return to your planet]

[Now distributing the Fourth-Level Star Lord personal reward as follows]

[Reward for contestant: +2 Star-level Combat Power]

[Reward for contestant: +200,000 Reputation]

[Reward for contestant: +2000 times Creation]

[Reward for contestant: +3000 Merit Points]

[Reward for contestant: Random awakening of 2 Dao of Acquired]

Wang Teng was overjoyed.

He gained once more!

Buzz~!

Soon, a reward light column descended, enveloping Wang Teng.

Moments later, the reward was complete.

Before he could finish celebrating, the mechanical voice echoed in his mind again...

[Detected that you arrived in Taichu Heaven in 13 minutes, earning this round’s double extra reward]

[Reward for contestant: +30 Star-level Combat Power]

[Reward for contestant: +600,000 Reputation]

[Reward for contestant: +20,000 times Creation]

[Reward for contestant: +20,000 Merit Points]

[Reward for contestant: Random awakening of 30 Dao of Acquired]

This announcement made Wang Teng extremely pleased.

The double reward was even more generous!

Rumble~! Rumble~! Rumble~!

At this moment, a golden reward light column descended, covering Wang Teng entirely.

Instantly, his Combat Power momentum, Reputation, and so on surged wildly.

A resplendent Dao Spiritual Light also shone on his body.

Wang Teng closed his eyes happily, comfortably receiving the reward...

Meanwhile, at the starting point of Taichu Heaven.

A black-haired man was joyfully receiving his reward.

Upon closer look at the black-haired man’s momentum, he was at Half-Step Eternal Peak.

This man’s name was Galuo.

He was the most powerful known presence among the contestants.

Because no one knew of Wang Teng and Brahma’s existence.

Galuo took 29 minutes and 56 seconds to reach the finish line, extremely fortunate to receive the first round extra reward.

The generous extra reward delighted him endlessly.

Beside him, an elderly man with white hair and beard watched with envy.

The white-haired elder’s aura was also not ordinary, with momentum infinitely close to Half-Step Eternal Peak.

He was one of the four Half-Step Eternal Great Powers among the contestants, named Spirit Ancestor.

He took 31 minutes to reach the finish line, only earning a Fifth-Level Star Lord reward.

After a while, Galuo’s reward ended.

Spirit Ancestor quickly stepped forward to congratulate him.

"Galuo, congratulations on receiving extra rewards this time!"

"It was just luck! Just luck!"

Galuo pretended to smile humbly, but in his heart, he felt extremely proud.

At this moment, Spirit Ancestor spoke again: "It seems that among everyone, you are indeed the strongest. This extra reward, I guess only you received it."

Galuo quickly laughed and said: "You flatter me, friend! Perhaps among the competitors, there are hidden talents yet to show their true strength!"

Spirit Ancestor was unimpressed: "This is the Star Lord Trial; if someone deliberately hides their strength, they would be missing out on rewards. Such a person would certainly be foolish. Therefore, you must be the strongest among us."

Galuo also nodded: "Speaking of which, that double reward is really hard to obtain. In our batch, about five people should be able to get it."

Spirit Ancestor laughed: "That’s absolutely impossible!"

Swoosh~!

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of white light appeared in the center of the plaza.

A shadowy figure stepped into Taichu Heaven.

"Hmm? Finally, the third one has entered!"

Both Galuo and Spirit Ancestor turned their heads.

Soon, they saw who it was; it was Brahma.

At that moment, Brahma’s face was dark.

He had spent 32 minutes to reach the destination.

There was no extra reward for him.

Soon, the Fifth-Level Star Lord reward descended from the sky above Taichu Heaven.

Looking at the meager reward, Brahma’s expression was gloomy, and he felt quite unhappy.

Galuo and Spirit Ancestor also looked at him with mutual sympathy.

In their view, being the third to reach the finish line, he must surely be a powerful person of the same level.

"Congratulations, friend, on entering Taichu Heaven! You are the third to reach here, my congratulations!"

Galuo smiled and approached to converse.

"I am third?"

Brahma’s face was dark, and he impatiently glanced at the two.

This glance made his disdain even more apparent.

Galuo’s momentum was only 320-Star Level.

Whereas Spirit Ancestor’s was just 290-Star Level.

With such strength, he barely noticed them.

He himself possessed 900-Star Combat Power, being Half-Step Great Perfection!

If it weren’t for that damnable vile demon’s sneak attack, he would have been the first to arrive, not third!

"Ha~!"

Brahma arrogantly snorted, actually ignoring Galuo and Spirit Ancestor’s attempt at conversation, and directly walked out of the plaza.

Galuo’s brows instantly furrowed.

Spirit Ancestor was even angrier: "This guy is too arrogant! As a peer, he actually..."

Boom~!

Before he could finish his words, Brahma’s momentum exploded.

The aura of 900-Star Combat Power instantly spread throughout the scene.

Spirit Ancestor and Galuo were immediately shocked, their mouths wide open.

Swoosh~!

The next moment, Brahma flashed and rushed into the depths of the misty sea, disappearing without a trace.

Until Brahma was gone, Spirit Ancestor and Galuo regained their senses, exchanging looks.

After a long time, Galuo sighed: "Alas! I considered myself the strongest, but unexpectedly, among the competitors, someone was hiding as a Half-Step Great Perfection, and even among them, he is outstanding!"

Spirit Ancestor also felt somewhat fearful: "Yes! We nearly offended a terrifying existence! Speaking of which, why was he only the third to arrive? Was it to hide his strength?"

"This..."

They exchanged looks again.

They clearly saw Brahma enter, without the extra reward beam, so it’s unlikely that he started late.

"Maybe he was unlucky and encountered a lot of Celestial Demons on the way? Anyway, in the second round, he opened his full momentum, and surely he’ll be the first to complete the trial!"

Galuo felt a bit wistful.

Spirit Ancestor also nodded slightly.

"Alright, let’s begin the second trial too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two said no more and started walking toward the misty sea.

...

At the same time, at the Starting Point Plaza of Taishi Heaven.

Wang Teng had already absorbed the rewards.

Buzz~!

Just then, the Creation Jade Scroll activated again...

[Tip: Detected that your Creation Jade Scroll records the number of Great Dao, reaching 819 entries, meeting advancement requirements, automatically initiating advancement...]

[Advancement successful! Your Creation Jade Scroll has upgraded from Tier Thirteen to Tier Fourteen]

[Congratulations on gaining the assistance of the Tier Fourteen Creation Jade Scroll, your refinement efficiency of Dao Crystals, comprehension efficiency of Dao Scrolls increased by 1500%]

[Congratulations on gaining the empowerment from the Tier Fourteen Creation Jade Scroll, you have again received the force feedback of a Dao Artifact, permanently increasing by 6-Star Combat Power]

Boom~! Boom~! Boom~!

The next second, Wang Teng’s momentum soared crazily.

With these successive rewards, his strength had greatly improved.

His Comprehensive Combat Power skyrocketed to 527-Star Level.

The extent of this improvement was far stronger than the first round!

Now, defeating Brahma would be even easier...
