Mo Fan strongly believed there was an Essence Orb down there.

As a matter of fact, they knew the red demon needed to absorb a huge amount of hatred to grow.

The workers, employees, and prison guards, and even the cruel prisoners, did not complain, nor show any signs of grudges or anger.

Something must have taken away their emotions, turning them into laboring machines!

“Mo Fan, look,” Lingling pointed at Mo Fan’s hip.

Mo Fan looked down and noticed his Essence Orb was glowing.

He was so focused on observing the people that he did not realize his Essence Orb had been glowing for a while.

It seemed the Essence Orb had detected a source of energy it was interested in. Mo Fan had never seen it glow so brightly!

“It looks like it’s close to the first tunnel, on that watchtower,” Mo Fan said after a moment of looking around.

The first tunnel was located between a huge workshop, some walls, and the prison. A tall watchtower stood right beside the first tunnel. Not only did it provide a good view of the prison, it could also see the entire area!

The glow of the Essence Orb grew brighter as Mo Fan drew closer to the watchtower.

At the top of the tower was a huge dark red Orb. It suddenly lit up like the blood-red eye of a demon.

The prisoners in the first tunnel shuddered when the orb emitted the strange red light. The prisoners who were busy working immediately turned their heads in Mo Fan’s direction.

Their eyes were bloodshot and glowing in the dark. The first tunnel was soon brimming with a murderous feeling!

The factory that was initially operating in perfect order was filled with icy gusts of wind. Mo Fan and Lingling subconsciously took a few steps back!

“What just happened?” Lingling asked quickly.

How were they discovered? Could it be the red Orb on the watchtower was really an eye with powers similar?to the Eye of the Golden Dragon?

“It didn’t discover us, it noticed my Essence Orb! I think it wants to devour my Essence Orb!” Mo Fan guessed.

Mo Fan’s Essence Orb was just like the Orb the red demon was born from, but the red demon had developed a consciousness after taking over human bodies.

Mo Fan’s Essence Orb had been modified to only absorb special Evil Energy. It could no longer bewitch humans.

Whether or not the Essence Orb had its consciousness, the energy inside it was exactly what the Evil Red?Orb needed. It might ‘ascend as an immortal’ sooner once it devoured the Essence Orb’s energy!

The Evil Red Orb began to control the prisoners. They were coming to take away Mo Fan’s Essence Orb!

The prisoners growled like beasts.

They seemed to have forgotten human speech after their minds had been controlled for so long. Their eyes were bloodshot, as if they had turned into the Evil Red Orb’s soldiers.

The prisoners were Mages of certain levels, or they would not be imprisoned here.

In addition to the prisoners, the guards were being influenced by the Evil Red Orb as well!

People were surrounding Mo Fan and Lingling from every direction, not giving them a chance to escape.

Lingling glanced at the huge Barrier above them. “The Barrier has been removed. They can use their magic!”

The huge Barrier was the prison’s magic Formation, established to restrict the prisoners’ power.

As a matter of fact, the magic Formation was just a decoy, assuming the Evil Orb was controlling everyone’s mind. Not only would the prisoners not escape, they would work endlessly and feed the Evil Red Orb with their grudges and anger.

“Lu Kun has set up a factory to collect human hatred here. I shall destroy it today!” Mo Fan harrumphed coldly.

Mo Fan had no reason to go easy on the prisoners, since they were attacking him first!

He was able to enter the first tunnel after the magic Formation was deactivated. He went straight at the prisoners, lightning runes circling his fingers.

As he swung his hands, purple lightning crackled through the air and spread wildly.

The lightning arcs immediately exploded when they made contact with the prisoners. Those who were caught by Mo Fan’s lightning went flying and slammed into the wall of the mountain a hundred meters away.

Mo Fan continued to press forward after taking care of a dozen prisoners, heading inside the first tunnel.

There were hundreds of prisoners in the pit there. They were jumping, flying, and climbing up the pit that was over fifty meters deep.

Mo Fan looked down at them fearlessly.

He did not have to wait for the prisoners to put in so much effort just to surround him. He took the initiative to go down into the pit instead!

Mo Fan jumped down over the heads of several dozen prisoners.

He landed heavily in the pit. Not only did the ground crack apart, huge boulders erupted from the ground like shark fangs.

It was like stirring up ripples on the surface of a calm lake, but the ripples were terrifying shark fangs with great penetrating force instead!

The ripples created hundreds of shark fangs, each around four meters high. The further they were from the center, the higher they were!

Mo Fan had landed in the middle of where most of the prisoners had gathered. Fresh blood splashed in the air and splattered on the golden-brown Rock Fangs.

Thirty prisoners were defeated by the impact alone, either dead or crippled.

Mo Fan was getting better at using his abilities!

“Look out above you!” Lingling had already found a safe hiding spot, but she did not forget to warn Mo Fan of the approaching danger.

Mo Fan looked up and saw three clusters of spells flying at him simultaneously.

The watchtower was the only spot that had not been targeted by his spells!

“Humph, you dare to stir up trouble first? I’ll absorb you today since I need to replenish the energy I consumed, too!” Mo Fan exclaimed.

The Evil Red Orb was able to devour the Essence Orb. Likewise, the Essence Orb could also devour the Evil Red Orb!

It was too early to say who was going to evolve in the end!

The Essence Orb was Mo Fan’s backup battery when he transformed into his demon form. He had consumed a portion of its energy when he was chasing after Salan. He could replenish its energy by devouring the Evil Red Orb!

Mo Fan used Blink to dodge the spells coming from three different directions, moving toward the watchtower.

The Evil Red Orb was the mastermind. It made sense to go after it first!
