Chapter 515: Collapsing Spacetime (2/2)

Han Shuo turned pale with fright. He had decided to escape from this place regardless of everything. But before he managed to, he discovered that the abyssal creatures who had been dauntlessly charging at him were stooped below their necks, terrified and retreating like tidewater, no longer paying heed to Han Shuo.

Dong… Dong… An otherworldly banging reverberated through the ground from behind them, like a signal for retreat.

Hmm, these creatures of the Abyss are have some intelligence after all, Han Shuo thought as his pupils traced the retreating abyssal creatures. Following behind the creatures, Han Shuo too was rapidly leaving this space as it was on the verge of collapse.

If these abyssal creatures knew how to get to this region, then they surely know where to retreat. As long as I stay on their trail there’s no reason I could fail. Han Shuo headed in the direction of the creatures, gradually overtaking them in the process.

The creatures were clearly aware that the threat of a collapsing spacetime was of greater importance than even their greatest enemy. Even though Han Shuo was right beside them, they did not proceed with attacking him but instead turned a blind eye to his presence. They returned on the path they came from regardless of all things under the order to retreat.

Rumbles…

A most terrifying sound came from behind Han Shuo. Without even turning around to look and merely with his consciousness, he sensed that the spacetime behind him could no longer bear the stress of all kinds of chaotic energies and hence started to form fissures that could devour all things.

Hiss…

The strange calling of abyssal creatures constantly sounded from behind him. Although Han Shuo couldn’t understand what exactly they were trying to communicate, from the frightened tone, he speculated that their frightened tones were meant to hurry the others.

According to lore, inside those spacetime fissures was a complete lack of any element, even air, which meant that any being that was dependent on food or air would die by asphyxiation or starvation had they fallen in.

However, for an unnatural being like Han Shuo who did not require food or air to survive, he wouldn’t immediately die after falling into a spacetime fissure. However, he would have to endure an infinite loneliness, a thought that seemed to him more terrifying than death.

More and more strange noises came from those abyssal demons behind him, those hurrying calls turning into shrieks of despair. Han Shuo realized that some abyssal demons must have been pulled into the fissures.

Han Shuo’s heart palpitated. He had no choice but to put his body at stake in sustaining further damage. Disregarding all else, Han Shuo cranked his Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens all the way up, escaping the region as quickly as he could.

Pfff… Han Shuo spat a mouthful of fresh hot blood. Another three meridians in his body ruptured.

The demonic blades in his two hands acted like his invincible Demonslayer Edge, cutting away at those larger abyssal demons in his way. At this moment, Han Shuo was not at all concerned with the stench of those abyssal demons and passed right through their bodies.

In matters of life and death, Han Shuo’s heart was resolute and cold. All ethics could be easily cast aside to ensure survival, let alone those filthy demon carcasses.

It was precisely due to Han Shuo’s decisiveness that he had no qualms drilling his way through the bodies of those abyssal demons in his path and was able to outrun the rapidly spreading spacetime fissure.

The rumbling grew louder and louder, as loud as a volcanic eruption. Suddenly, a brand new scene appeared ahead of Han Shuo. There were sinister-looking plants, mountains, and rivers.

Finally, Han Shuo escaped the region after bolting off at the fastest speed he ever had in his entire life.

A frighteningly chaotic energy erupted from behind Han Shuo. It was safe for him to assume that those abyssal demons behind him were completely wrecked in the collapsed spacetime.
