Chapter 522: City of Demons (2/2)

Crosius possessing divine power meant that he had not only formed his body into a Body of Element, but his soul had also transformed into a Soul of Element. Seeing how abyssal creatures cultivated their bodies, to form one’s soul into a Soul of Element seemed an incredibly difficult task. It was astounding that Crosius could have achieved such a feat.

“Hemanna, is Lord Crosius able to cultivate his soul to use elemental power?” With these suspicions, Han Shuo just had to ask the pretty girl next to him.

“Something like that. For people like us, even if we train to our limits, we would never be able to cultivate the power into our brains. Just look at Nambrough, his body has been refined to quite the vessel, but he still hasn’t been able to infuse every bone and every cell of his body with dark power.”

“As for distributing the power to the brain…” she chuckled.

“That could only be done with the help of the demon king Manticore. Lord Crosius hit a wall after cultivating his power into every cell of his body, and was only able to achieve it with the help of demon king Manticore.

“In the entire abyssal realm, the only ones who have managed to infuse their brains with power on their own cultivation alone were the five abyssal demon kings. The others who have managed to do so all required help. Even with this power they’ve acquired, they’re still far from on par with the five demon kings. There lay many experts in the abyssal realm, but the only ones worthy of being called great demon kings are those five existences as they reached that stage entirely on their own training and cultivation, with no help or interference. If you achieve that, you could become the abyssal realm’s sixth great demon king. Tens of thousands of higher beings will bow at your feet, willing to tend to your every wish,” Hemanna explained.

Solely on their own power and without any outside assistance, they managed to infuse every bone, every cell and even their brains with elemental power to form the elemental body and elemental soul. To think that all five of the abyssal realm’s great demon kings had done all that to get to where they were, it was no wonder that they were the top five experts!

From Crosius’s aura, Han Shou knew that he had similar godly strength to the six-horned tribal king and the Saintess of the Church of Light back at Profound Continent. As for the great demon king Manticore who was Crosius’ master, the one who made him what he was, how much power could he possess? Han Shuo did not dare continue thinking about it.

Han Shuo however, was not in the least bit discouraged, he instead felt a sense of lofty aspiration rise in his chest. The last time he had been pushed past his limits to the Carnal Realm, his power underwent drastic change. Han Shuo was certain that once he reached the Nine-Changes Realm, regardless of whether his power was divine or not, he would be ten or even a hundred times stronger than he was now.

By then, even the five great demon kings of the abyssal realm might not be too much stronger than him!

“Come, let’s get a little rest at my place,” said Hemanna as she giggled. Her smooth, pretty frame had somehow gotten extremely close to Han Shuo, and she laid her pale hand upon his arm as she made the invitation.

Han Shuo glanced at Hemanna and felt his heart skip a beat. He then laughed and said, “Sure, but before this, you’d best bring me around War Demon Valley. I’m still very unfamiliar with this place.”

“I’m most familiar with War Demon Valley, I’ll show you around.” The purple-eyed Sylph snatched up Han Shuo’s other arm the moment he finished his sentence, as though she was fighting over him, and began pulling him to leave.

“What’s the meaning of this, Sylph. You’re trying to steal him from me?” Hemanna was furious and glared at Sylph as she snapped in her delicate voice.

“So?” Sylph showed no signs of weakness and stared at Hemanna as though she was challenging her.

“Hey!” Right at that moment, a light cry was heard. A man slowly approached them. He was as thin as a bamboo shoot, with sickly green skin and a rode with a gigantic demon-masked abyssal creature which resembled a spider on it.

In the War Demon Valley, aside from Crosius, there were also six demigod beings. This sickly-looking man was one of them, Han Shuo could feel it.

“Hemanna, Sylph, have you forgotten what I said? The both of you are my intendeds, and now you’re fighting over a man in such a place. Do you wish to die a cruel death?” The strange, sickly man glared at Hemanna and Sylph with a cold death stare.

Hemanna and Sylph, both turned bone pale at the man’s arrival and released Han Shuo’s arms without a second to spare. They seemed terrified of the man, and stuttered but just could not speak.
