Chapter 453: Icebound (1/2)

GDK 453: Icebound

As the pair of five-horned aliens dove downwards, Han Shuo felt an enormous pressure crashing onto him. One of them was plunging towards Han Shuo from high up in the air. The five horns protruding from its head were flaring with cold, dark green light, causing them to look like five jade batons from afar.

Before Han Shuo could even react, he felt his consciousness being violently stung by five mysterious energy forces. The five rays of energy felt like sharp awls, dealing an enormous stabbing pain onto Han Shuo.

His consciousness seemed to be thumped!

The whirling motion Han Shuo was making with his two hands while wielding Demonic Blades abruptly halted. The seven four-horned aliens which had surrounded Han Shuo continued to close in on him, and the horns on their heads similarly shone with dark green radiance. Shortly after, twenty-eight mysterious energy forces came pouring into Han Shuo’s consciousness, and with that followed another twenty-eight weaker attacks on his soul.

What a splitting headache!

That was the most direct string of blows he had ever perceived. The acute pain even caused Han Shuo momentary vertigo and hallucination. Although an attack on the soul was a rather straightforward technique, it could give one an immense pain as though his brain was being rummaged with knife blades.

Countless years of cultivation in the demonic arts had caused Han Shuo to develop his ability to endure pain to an extraordinary stage. Not only did the demonic arts allow Han Shuo’s soul to evolve into a high-level consciousness, it also made his consciousness more tenacious and miraculous than a normal human being could ever imagine.

In all those days of the constant, perverted tempering of his body, he had endured pain and agony that no ordinary person could endure. Thus, when the stinging pain suddenly burst forth in his mind, the dizziness only lasted for two seconds!

After those two seconds, the blood essence within Han Shuo’s demonic infant flared up, and instantaneously, his consciousness gained an inexhaustible energy.

Unexpectedly, the lump of consciousness in his brain broke into millions of strands. The energy forces attacking Han Shuo’s consciousness suddenly lost their target!

A moment later, Han Shuo’s scattered consciousness regrouped at the site of his demonic infant.

The altogether thirty-three soul-attacking energy forces reacted as they sensed the reappearance of Han Shuo’s consciousness. However, before they could attack again, Han Shuo’s consciousness, which was fused with the demonic infant, suddenly released an absorption force of utmost ferocity!

The ‘Demonic Art of Assimilation’, which represented the inherent attribute of demonic cultivators to devour everything, was deployed with the demonic infant as the root. A violent vortex formed.

Of the mysterious energy forces aimed at attacking Han Shuo’s consciousness, twenty-eight were trapped by the absorption force before they could pull out from Han Shuo’s body!

Han Shuo tightened his consciousness. Like a giant whale inhaling, twenty-eight soul-attacking energy forces entered the tiny mouth of the demonic infant.

The five mysterious energy forces that originated from the alien leader, however, seemed to be a step ahead. When Han Shuo’s consciousness regathered in the demonic infant to form the ‘Demonic Art of Assimilation’, the five mysterious energies seemed to have sensed danger and escaped from Han Shuo’s body in advance.

“ROAR!” Han Shuo shouted loudly after having sensed his demonic infant breaking down and absorbing the mysterious energy. The Demonic Blades in his two hands thawed and resumed their rapid whirling.

When the five horns on the alien leader shone brightly it was already charging rapidly towards the seven quadrahorned alien experts. The green pupils that locked coldly on Han Shuo suddenly seemed to contain an extra trace of fear. The blueish-green lustered horns on their heads turned a bleak shade.

Only the alien leader that descended from the top of the altar retained the tint of its five horns. It looked as if the five mysterious energy forces that left Han Shuo’s body in advance had been recalled to its source, so as to not suffer further damage.

Before reaching the Carnal Realm, Han Shuo already understood that the demonic arts, which benefits one to the detriment of others, possesses the miraculous ability to engulf energy. With Han Shuo’s leveling up in demonic realm, the demonic infant’s ability to engulf energy for its own use became increasingly prominent.

However, perhaps it was because demonic cultivators belonged to an extremely wicked faction, the demon infant’s engulfment seemed to reject all positive energy, including holy energy and fighting aura. It was as though the demon infant refused to absorb this energy in order to preserve the pure wickedness of the energy in Han Shuo’s body.

When it came to chaotic, negative energy that caused violence and corruption, no matter how strange or mysterious the origin, once it fell deep into Han Shuo’s body, the demonic infant would always magically absorb it, and convert it into the purest, most suitable energy for the demon infant to continue growing and evolving.

It was such with the wicked energy in Elizabeth’s body, and with the energy contained in the bodies of these overtly unkind aliens.
