Chapter 568: Direct Confrontation (1/2)
Direct Confrontation
The duo of Cecrops and Golander marched towards Han Shuo at slow but steady paces. They would peer at Manticole and Leviathan out of the corner of their eyes once in a while, carefully on guard against any unforeseen danger.
Things having come to this, Han Shuo could no longer cower. The only choice left for him was to go all out and fight. As to whether or not he could preserve his avatar cultivating the element of death, that would depend on whether he could resist the attacks of the two Demon Kings.
Meteor shower and Spatial Edges were wreaking havoc all around him, causing bursts of splendid light to blossom incessantly. Han Shuo was on full alert. His mind was as sharp as it could have been. He held onto the Demonslayer Edge and calmly waited for the two Demon Kings to launch their attacks.
On the contrary, the two Demon Kings, Cecrops and Golander, who were closing in on Han Shuo step by step, appeared relaxed and at ease, as though they weren’t taking Han Shuo seriously at all. Han Shuo knew that the reason these two Demon Kings came over at such sluggish speeds was that they were wary of Manticole and Leviathan. They weren’t actually all that heedful towards the enemy they were about to strike.
When the two got very near to Han Shuo, Cecrops sent a signal to Golander with his eyes. At the next instance, the two went from slowly walking to charging at Han Shuo at high-speed.
These existences in the realm of lowgod concentrated their divine energy to their limbs. After two streaks of light flashed, they arrived right in front of Han Shuo.
The Demonslayer Edge gave off brilliant rays and turned into another Han Shuo within a split second. A ruthless energy wishing to annihilate the world erupted. A ball of sinister light with boundless darkness completely enveloped the immediate region.
The two Demon Kings were moving too fast. Therefore, right after the Demonslayer Edge produced that ball of dark light, they fell into it.
In fact, the Demon King duo who possessed absolute confidence in their own strength did not make any effort to the evade darkness but continued to advance bravely, shooting at Han Shuo by relying on their senses.
Rumbles…
A great explosion, as though the heavens fell and earth rent, broke loose from the center of the darkness. Electrical sparks like needles shot all around through the darkness.
Two loud shrieks simultaneously came from the mouths of the two Demon Kings. As the enormous rumble sounded, the duo, who dauntlessly charged at Han Shuo, retreated with their burning asses at an even greater speed.
Hundreds upon thousands of light rays followed the two as though their very own shadows. Under the inconceivable gazes of Manticole and Leviathan, those whooshing light rays shot into the retreating Demon Kings.
“Arhhhh… What in the world?! This bastard just put his own life at stake and triggered boundaries that release large-scale destructive power. Damn it!” Golander loudly cursed.
The rumble of the explosion left as quickly as it came. The light rays faded and the darkness dispersed to reveal the ground that had caved in to form a large pit with numerous potholes surrounding it. Standing behind the large pit was Han Shuo, wielding the Demonslayer Edge with a callous expression. The corners of his lips curved to make a ridiculing smirk as he looked coldly at the two Demon Kings hollering.
Those Pearls of Annihilation he had refined back at War Demon Valley were indeed wonderfully effective weapons. As soon as he saw the two Demon Kings in a flurry to retreat, he knew that both of them had been hit.
A Pearl of Annihilation could produce a large-scale explosion, and therefore a very effective weapon to be used against enemies in great numbers. However, as both the Demon Kings were lowgods, the explosion of the Pearl of Annihilation would only cause them limited injuries. But, of course, the Pearls didn’t just launch physical attacks. Its most significant damaging effects actually came from those Soulpiercers that would shoot out during the large-scale explosion.
The Soulpiercer was a bizarre demonic weapon that specifically targeted the soul. Just one Soulpiercer would be enough to annihilate those who did not possess a mighty enough soul. Even for a godly existence whose soul had fused with the elements between heaven and earth, once hit, had to immediately drop everything and focus on eliminating the sinister energy of the Soulpiercer as soon as possible before it corroded the soul. The longer they left it, the greater the harm they would receive.
It was because Cecrops and Leviathan had not truly taken Han Shuo to heart, in addition to their false assumption that Han Shuo wouldn’t dare to break the rule of the Void, that they had decided to attack Han Shuo so bluntly. Unfortunately for them, Han Shuo, a demonic arts cultivator, had countless tricks up his sleeves. Han Shuo’s far-sighted preparation also contributed to him being able to unleash the full formidable might of the Pearl of Annihilation, teaching the duo a lesson they would never forget.
As for the rules of the Void and the boundaries that densely covered all around, Han Shuo had absolutely no reservations in breaking them. Given the present circumstances that he could lose his life at any moment, he had no time to worry about these trivial matters.
The blast of a Pearl of Annihilation covered a tremendous area. As Han Shuo was located in a place surrounded with boundaries, after the deafening explosion, several boundaries were unavoidably triggered.
