Chapter 560: The Fountainhead of Evil (1/2)

GDK 560: The Fountainhead of Evil

The stardust current that covered the entire sky was like a gigantic, moving, colorful oil painting. Han Shuo’s heart grew calm. He raised his head, and slowly expanded his consciousness outwards…

There was a lowgod that cultivated in the edict of destruction just like himself. This aura of destruction that originated from the northwest part was extremely frightening. Even the slightest contact with his consciousness would immediately trigger the corrosive power of the energy of destruction. Han Shuo hastily avoided him. He understood that the Demon King taking that position ought to be Bechymos.

Han Shuo continued to expand his consciousness outwards after keeping a distance from Bechymos. He then came to discover an area where the element of water and fire gathered in high concentration. With just one thought, Han Shuo immediately knew that the person ought to be Cecrops and Golander. The duo of Cecrops and Golander cultivated in the element of water and the element of fire respectively. The common saying goes that fire and water don’t mix. But these two Demon Kings got along surprisingly well and enjoyed great friendly relations.

Over on Cecrops and Golander’s side, Han Shuo sensed the presence of a ton of Demons. He was certain that Cecrops and Golander had brought their personal guards along.

After stealthily withdrawing his consciousness, Han Shuo took a deep breath. His consciousness sank into a state of emptiness, as he calmly and patiently waited for the moment that the stardust current disappears.

After an unknown amount of time, the colourful and brightly coloured space, like a pond that had a huge boulder thrown into it, an immense ripple suddenly surged through it. Magnificent and splendid colours shot out, interweaving. Brilliant rays of all colours streaked through the space like shooting stars.

After a round of that dazzling display of radiance, the stardust current drifted into the distance. Abruptly, in midair, a taupe-coloured entrance taking the form of a whirlpool made up of all kinds of energies came into view. That whirlpool was gargantuan and seemed to be sucking in and engulfing matter with tremendous force. It would leave any observer pondering its unfathomable mysteriousness.

While Han Shuo was staring at the whirlpool in amazement, contemplating its profound mysteries, Manticole suddenly put on a delighted expression and lightly yelled, “The stardust current has passed. We can go inside now.”

“Get ready,” Leviathan, in a grave expression and a deep voice, instructed, “Stick closely behind us. Do not leave one step away from us.”

Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh…

While Manticole and Leviathan were talking, a few dozen shadows suddenly entered the whirlpool. Based on their aura and location, Han Shuo made out that those ought to be Cecrops, Golander, and their forces.

“Hey hey, those two fellas must really be rushing huh,” Leviathan chuckled. He signaled with his hand to temporarily halt the party’s movement. It was only after Golander and his faction had all entered into the Void that he finally said, “Let’s move.”

“Bechymos has yet to enter,” Han Shuo, following behind Leviathan as they flew directly towards the whirlpool, uttered as though by accident.

Leviathan, who was flying towards the Void, looked at Han Shuo with a somewhat astonished expression on his face. As though completely astounded that Han Shuo could figure out Bechymos’ tracks, he said, “Bechymos has always been a lone wolf. Every time he enters the Void, he doesn’t bring a single subordinate along. Even the four of us Demon Kings combined would be less familiar with the Void than he is. Plus, his whereabouts are the hardest to spot. Do you know where he is?”

Han Shuo pointed at a piece of land in the northwest that grew with lush shrubbery, and said in a natural voice, “Right underneath there. He cultivates in the edict of destruction just as I do. I can sense it.”

When Han Shuo said this, Manticole too took a small shock. He said in a rather amazed manner, “Mister Han Shuo is indeed out of the ordinary. Even the two of us couldn’t detect Bechymos’s location. But you could.”

Leviathan nodded. He was rather amazed by it as well. However, the two did not mind too much about this. As they spoke, the entrance to the Void entered their sights. With one thought, a protective shield as thin as a cicada’s wing moulded around Han Shuo’s entire body. With a flash of black light, Han Shuo’s body fell into the Void.

It was as though he had suddenly fallen into a strange dimension. Pure elemental energies of extreme intensity could be found in every corner. When he inhaled, the elements would naturally enter his body through his breath, giving him a wonderfully refreshing sensation.
