GDK 559: Invincible Consciousness
Five days later. At the entrance to the most mysterious place on the Abyss realm: the Void.
Han Shuo and the fifteen Demons that followed closely behind Demon King Manticole, finally arrived at their destination.
It was a peculiar region filled with enormous, menacing plants. Each one of those strange towering trees would ferociously assault at Han Shuo and the party. There were marshes and swamps all over, with colorful miasma that constantly lingered in the air. Roaming about were also some huge and oddly-shaped abyssal creatures.
Manticole must have been totally familiar with this region. He led Han Shuo and the party flying crisscrossed, and only stopped when they arrived before a magnificent scene of colourful, glaze-like stardust current that ascended to the sky.
Han Shuo briefly surveyed his surroundings. He discovered that after Manticole had unfolded his Domain of Divinity, not a single plant or living thing was so unintelligent to dare approach them. The intense element of darkness gathered towards Manticole from all directions. After just a short time, the element of darkness within Manticole’s Domain of Divinity grew ten times more concentrated. All other elemental energies that were usually present between heaven and earth were nowhere to be found within the space it covered. Even the four edictal forces became twisted.
The fifteen Black Jade Guards that chaperoned Manticole immediately gained a great sense of discomfort. Without any elemental energies available that they could rely on, and having yet to truly become gods, a burst of dejection out of powerlessness and unease filled their hearts.
Fortunately for them, Manticole did not keep his Domain of Divinity deployed for too long. It didn’t take long after he unfolded his Domain of Divinity for Han Shuo to sense that in another region not far away, the element of lightning suddenly began to rapidly congeal. A long rumble reverberated through the sky. A party of men was rapidly approaching Manticole.
Manticole withdrew his Domain of Divinity right after the rumble. He said to Han Shuo in a warm voice, “Leviathan is here.”
Leviathan, one of the five Great Demon Kings of the Abyss realm, cultivated in the elemental energy of lightning and maintained a rather deep-rooted friendship with Manticole. Soon after Manticole withdrew his Domain of Divinity, an overbearing silhouette of interwoven lightning bolts landed before Manticole in the blink of an eye.
Leviathan was three meters tall. Two huge horns curled out from his head. Luscious body hair coated his skin. His powerful body radiated with electrical sparks. At first glance, Han Shuo thought Leviathan rather resembled a wild bull, if not for his human face.
Upon arriving, Leviathan chuckled and said, “Manticole, I have already been here for a few days. What took you so long?”
“Better to come on time than prematurely,” Manticole said in a mild manner. He raised his head to look at the gorgeous, colourful space, and continued, “The stardust current has yet to completely vanish, hasn’t it?”
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh… A dozen or so shadows arrived and landed still behind Manticole. Each and every one of them was of Demon strength; they were the Thunder Guards, direct subordinates of Leviathan.
A pair of silvery pupils spewing lighting bolts suddenly turned to Han Shuo. With an interested tone, Leviathan asked, “This unfamiliar-looking friend must be the one who exterminated three Shadow Warriors in an instant, Mister Han Shuo?”
Han Shuo faintly smiled and nodded. In a neither overbearing, nor servile manner, he greeted, “Hehe, hello.” Just like Manticole, Leviathan was a lowgod. Even without activating his consciousness, Han Shuo could sense the terrifying energy on Leviathan’s body. He reckoned that the other three Demon Kings had to possess lowgod strength as well.
Han Shuo couldn’t help but compare. With his three souls, Han Shuo currently possessed enough strength to contend against any single Demon King. Given that Little Skeleton had become a lowgod of death, in addition to the Penta-elemental Undead Formation formed by five magical elite zombies, Han Shuo was confident that he had sufficient strength for self-preservation. Therefore, he inwardly began scheming some things that would be advantageous to him.
Leviathan looked deeply into Han Shuo’s eyes, with bolts of lightning brightly flashing throughout his silver pupils. After a long while, he chuckled, nodded and said, “Not bad, qualified enough!”
Han Shuo understood that Leviathan must have sensed the strength of the destruction lowgod from his body. Such was the Abyss realm. Without sufficient strength, one would not receive the proper respect. It was because Leviathan sensed the destruction energy of Han Shuo’s lowgod avatar that he truly took Han Shuo as a friend of equal status.
“Since you have been here for so long, have you discovered the trails of the other three?” Manticole smilingly asked after waiting for Leviathan to approve of Han Shuo’s strength.
