GDK 648: Sudden changes
“How is it? Pretty good, isn’t it?” Wood elite zombie smugly sought Han Shuo’s approval right after helping to rejuvenate Han Shuo’s main body.
”Wonderful!” Han Shuo praised from the bottom of his heart.
“Hehe! The energy I received is immense. I need to return and digest it for a period of time. After this, I can be just as strong as they are!” wood elite zombie relayed.
Han Shuo understood what wood elite zombie meant and nodded. Without wasting more words, he sent him back to the Netherworld.
During the next few days, Han Shuo remained indoors within the Cemetery of Death. As the recovery speed of his main body had been accelerated using the energy from wood elite zombie, he managed to fully recover from all the injuries sustained in just a few days. In addition, his main body became even tougher and mightier than ever.
The repaired body would always be stronger than before it was damaged. Such was the terrifying characteristic of the body of a demonic arts practitioner.
After the main body was fully healed, the demonic yuan could circulate unimpededly throughout his body. Han Shuo had consumed some of his demonic yuan in repairing and healing his main body. But now that it had fully healed, he would be able to replenish all the exhausted demonic yuan by spending a little bit of time.
His two avatars also remained inside the Cemetery of Death, silently comprehending the elemental energy of death and the edictal energy of destruction. After experiencing two rounds of battle against the Primordius Dragon, the avatar of death managed to gain a deeper understanding of the elemental energy of death. He seemed to be on the verge of becoming a mid-stage lowgod.
For gods, every slightest increase in realm meant a lengthy process. If an ordinary god were to learn that Han Shuo was able to advance his avatar of death from early-stage to mid-stage lowgod realm within such a short period of time, they would surely be astonished.
As the destruction avatar did not have much battle experience related to the edict of destruction that he could digest, he did not advance as rapidly as the death avatar. Han Shuo, however, was not discouraged. He carefully reflected the method of using the edict of destruction after every battle and silently contemplated the true essence of the edict of destruction.
During this period, Han Shuo did not take one step outside of the Cemetery of Death and paid no heed to the circumstances out there. His mind was at peace as he silently cultivated.
Suddenly, Han Shuo’s heart jolted. He noticed that three souls had suddenly formed miraculous connections with him.
Han Shuo was bewildered at first but became delighted soon after. His body blurred and abruptly materialized on the piece of land at the front of the Cemetery of Death.
The demonic formation for refining spirit demons which Han Shuo had relocated along with the Cemetery of Death no longer displayed any sign of activity. Although the three spots in the matrix which contained the spirit demons appeared to be lifeless, Han Shuo could sense the presence of the three spirit demons.
“Aha! Sure enough, they are successfully refined!” Han Shuo cheered. He walked to the location of the first spirit demon and extended his big hand. Demonic radiance glistered from his palm and illuminated the spirit demon. Han Shuo then closed his eyes and managed to acquire a connection with the spirit demon within. He proceeded by freeing the soul from the matrix.
Gradually, Han Shuo’s palm was covered with dark radiance. When the spirit demon that was in hibernation state sensed Han Shuo’s presence, it became very excited and active. As though a butterfly breaking from its cocoon, the mists that enveloped the spirit demon dispersed in the air.
A hazy and indistinct shadow that was twisting and wrapping within the mist suddenly shot out and disappeared into Han Shuo’s body in a flash. A strange energy entrenched itself in the demonic infant like a worm burrowing into an apple. It seemed still and contented.
The newborn spirit demons had a very heavy reliance on Han Shuo. They also needed the nourishment of Han Shuo’s energy to continue to grow.
Han Shuo repeated the same actions with the other two spirit demons. They were turned into the size of a grain of rice and kept in his demonic infant.
Unlike the mystical demons and yin demons Han Shuo had previously refined, the spirit demons were the real deal. Although the mystical demon and yin demon were also considered demon generals, in most circumstances, they could only act as Han Shuo’s scouts for surveying the perimeters and did not possess much ability to attack.
But this could not be said for spirit demons. Not only did the spirit demons inherit all the miraculous abilities of those lower ranking demon generals, but it also possessed great firepower. On top of that, perhaps the most important of all, the spirit demons could evolve an indefinite number of times. A spirit demon would become stronger each time it evolved. Their attacking power would become even more formidable.
Han Shuo withdrew the spirit demons one after another. After deeply contemplating for a while, Han Shuo destroyed the formation for refining spirit demons.
Han Shuo did not leave the Cemetery of Death during this critical juncture. He stored his two avatars back into his main body and sat cross-legged next to the humongous interplanar transportation matrix, waiting for the arrival of experts from the distant material plane.
*** On a mountain peak neighboring Brettel City, a party of gods gathered.
Kaiser, Eriksson, and their partners, all wore grave expressions on their faces. They seemed extremely vexed and deeply bothered by something.
“Have we searched the entire continent?” Kaiser kept silent for a long while before he suddenly asked.
“We have practically searched the entire continent but there is still not a trail of him,” Eriksson from the Shrine of Ice replied in a cold and steady manner when he saw that the others were silent.
“Where in heaven’s name did that kid place his interplanar transportation matrix? How could he have been so careful not to leave the slightest trail?” Kaiser sighed, before continuing, “Although this kid has mediocre strength, he is nonetheless an adversary that must not be taken lightly!” He scratched his head, which was red with rage.
Eriksson who had the experience of fighting with Han Shuo nodded and agreed, “That’s true. I have fought with that kid before. Not only is he very cunning, but he also has a staunch heart and will. He definitely is not one who would easily give in. There isn’t much time left before those fellas arrive, but we still couldn’t locate that kid or his transportation matrix. The matter is going to be pretty troublesome this time.”
“How about... we find that kid’s friends, capture all of them, spread the message, and wait for him to take the bait?” suggested that married woman.
Kaiser bunched his brows and said in a displeased manner, “Mary, we are after all, gods. We shouldn’t do such despicable things if not necessary. Besides, I don’t think that it would be effective against him. So, no, we are not doing that!”
That beautiful woman was stunned for a moment before she put on a respectful face and concurred. But at the same time, she silently cursed in her heart, What are you pretending to be honorable about? It’s not like the Church of Light has never done that before!
“I don’t think we will find that kid in time. Why don’t we destroy the Calamity Church here first?” Eriksson suggested.
Kaiser again shook his head and disagreed, “The Calamity Church on a mere low-level material plane like this is absolutely not worthy of our time. Hmm, how about this, as we still have some time, let’s figure out the path to the deepest layer of the underground world. And, if it’s possible, deny them the pathway of entry. How does that sound?”
Entering and exploring the deepest layer of the underground world was indeed much more important than destroying the Calamity Church establishment on this material plane. Hence, after a short moment of thinking, the party agreed to Kaiser’s proposal.
