Chapter 565: Fishing in Troubled Waters (1/2)

GDK 565: Fishing in Troubled Waters

After Leviathan and Manticole deployed their Domains of Divinity, save for the elements of lightning and darkness, no other energy could be found within the space. Han Shuo had yet to breakthrough to the Nine Changes Realm in his cultivation of demonic arts. Therefore, he would be at a disadvantage to stay within their Domains of Divinity. Regardless of his intentions, Han Shuo had to first make sure that he was able to completely deploy his strength to its fullest.

Therefore, without much hesitation, Han Shuo decisively evacuated from the coverage area of the two Domains of Divinity at this critical moment.

Those remaining Demons following the two Demon Kings all revealed the same astonished expression when they saw Han Shuo retreating instead of advancing. Before they could say a thing, Leviathan, whose body was surrounded by lightning bolts, coldly shouted, “Scat! Go back and stay with Mister Han Shuo. What are you all still standing here for? Waiting to get killed?”

The party, as though having received a pardon, hastily hurried towards Han Shuo. In a battle between the four Great Demon Kings of the Abyss, with even just the tiniest fraction of their divine power accidentally landing on any one of those Demons, without any elemental energy available, they would all be dead in one hit without the possibility of survival. Needless to say, they were all terrified.

Only an exceptional existence like Han Shuo would be able to keep himself safe inside the Domain of Divinity of the four Demon Kings relying on his body and avatar cultivating in demonic arts and the edict of destruction respectively. However, Han Shuo obviously had some other plans and therefore left that fighting stage.

“Arhhhhh…” miserable shrieks suddenly resounded through the valley. A few Demons running towards Han Shuo, were most unfortunately struck by the meteor shower. They only managed to let out a few wails in pain before being crushed into meat patties by the meteorites.

Those pitiful people had yet to leave Manticole’s and Leviathan’s Domains of Divinity. Without any elemental energies to use, their bodies were fragile to the utmost. In addition to the fact that the meteor shower really was frightening, it was only to be expected that they violently die on the spot.

Dammit, these fools indeed know only to look after their own asses! Han Shuo cursed in his heart. Suddenly, his body, which had retreated very far away, turned into a streak of black brilliance. In the next moment, he was back in the space enveloped by the Domains of Divinity.

Bord and Zinia looked on helplessly at a Spatial Edge cutting over to them. With no access to the elemental energies that they relied upon for survival, they were noticeably sluggish. They had absolutely no way of dodging that Spatial Edge flying towards them. Their eyes were dropping with despair.

At this moment, Han Shuo’s figure appeared between the couple in a flash. His two arms stretched forward as fast as lightning. He made a forceful fling after demonic yuan poured into his arms. The couple was sent flying in a beautifully parabolic trajectory. They successfully escaped from being sliced by that Spatial Edge.

Han Shuo still had some friendly regard towards Bord and Zinia, especially since the couple had been very attentive towards Jasper and the rest back at Black Jade City. They also had been diligent and tireless in attending to his needs. Although Han Shuo knew that the two were so solicitous because of the excellent strength he possessed, nonetheless, he was a sentimental person. He was most willing to perform this favor that needed only a slight flex of his muscles.

After pulling Bord and Zinia out of harm’s way, Han Shuo did not plan on remaining within the Domains of Divinity. Just as he was about to leave the coverage area of the Spatial Edges, all of a sudden, Han Shuo’s death basegod soul sensed a burst of incomparably rich elemental energy of death.

He immediately determined that the strong elemental energy of death must have originated from a boundary that the two Demon Kings had bluntly destroyed.

The great battle between the four Great Demon Kings would inevitably break out any moment now. Logic would have it that Han Shuo wanted no part in it. However, that elemental energy of death was intense. Han Shuo was certain that there was at least one piece of divine essence of death. After becoming a god, raising divine energy would be an extremely difficult thing to do. That piece of divine essence of death carried irresistible temptation power on Han Shuo’s avatar.

No great rewards comes without risks. Screw it, I will take a shot! Han Shuo rapidly weighed in his mind. When he noticed that the Spatial Edge was about to strike him, he finally ceased to hesitate. In his shadow form he streaked towards the area where the divine essence of death was located in an instant.

Cecrops and Golander, the two Demon Kings had to have sensed the presence of the divine essence of fire, and therefore recklessly charged over. One of them cultivated in the element of fire, while the other cultivated in the element of water. They were incredibly impatient and excited about the presence of the fire element divine essence and therefore had no patience or regard for anything in their paths.

In the next moment, Han Shuo came to find that the four Domains of Divinity had formally intersected with each other. The region that was previously devoid of all elements but lightning and darkness had again been filled with the element of water and fire. The two factions of Demon Kings of the Abyss realm, with their Domains of Divinity completely deployed, had begun engaging in hand-to-hand combat while the meteor shower and Spatial Edge bombarded the lands.

While rapidly flying towards the divine essence of death, Han Shuo found the spare time to observe his surrounding. He suddenly discovered that both Cecrops and Golander had very strange looks. Cecrops’ true form as he cultivated in the element of fire couldn’t be clearly seen. His body was similar to that of Ironstone Warrior whom Han Shuo had killed. His body was as tough as steel, and it was even glowing red hot.
