Chapter 653: Suspense (1/2)

GDK 653: Suspense

A Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester was a wonderful formation for assembling the mystical yin aura. Han Shuo only had a basic description of this formation in his memories and had no idea how to assemble one.

This Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester was obviously made by forcibly altering and reshaping the natural landscape and environment. The scale of the undertaking had simply left Han Shuo stupefied.

Could there have been a second demonic arts cultivator on Profound Continent?

Han Shuo’s heart was filled with appall. Immediately, he recalled Chu Cang Lan. Could Chu Cang Lan have still been alive, and had he, too, come to this universe?

But after some careful thinking, Han Shuo immediately rejected that possibility. On the basis of the scale and abstrusity of this super-sized Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester Han Shuo observed, he reasoned that this formation could not have been deployed by a demonic arts cultivator at the Nine Changes realm. Based on Han Shuo’s knowledge, Chu Cang Lan was merely at the Nine Changes realm before his death. Moreover, there was no information pertaining to the method of deploying a Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester found in his memory.

All the memory that Chu Cang Lan had about the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester composed merely a brief description of the formation. This kind of abstruse formation that required forcibly altering nature’s laws and changing heaven and earth could only be deployed by mightier demonic arts cultivator who had ascended.

What the hell is going on here?

Han Shuo’s heart was filled with utter astonishment and disbelief. It was akin to the wild ocean waves in a monsoon. As his consciousness constantly twisted and warped to beat back the mystical demon that constantly plagued him, he rapidly turned over in his mind in silence.

That spirit demon of his hovered back and forth outside the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester and dared not to venture any deeper.

The Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester could not only alter the laws of heaven and earth, but it had a myriad of other miraculous functions. Han Shuo was aware of a few of those from Chu Cang Lan’s memories. Han Shuo had spent a great deal of effort in refining that spirit demon. Han Shuo would grieve and mourn if he were to lose that spirit demon to this Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester.

The spirit demon kept on hovering around the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester and silently observed the legendary formation while Han Shuo carefully defended himself against the mystical demon assaulting him.

“Ah!!” Li Wei suddenly cried out loudly. Her voice was filled with immense horror.

Han Shuo was jolted by that scream. When he gathered his attention and looked, he discovered that Li Wei had on an expression extreme dread. Her eyes were filled with helplessness.

Han Shuo sent out a strand of his consciousness and with one quick observation, he discovered that the mystical demon attacking her had penetrated her body’s defenses and were corroding her soul.

“Idiot!” Han Shuo remarked in a low voice. He inwardly thought, You are a lowgod that cultivates in the elemental energy of death but doesn’t know to utilize soul attacking method that you should be an expert in. Serves you right.

Perhaps Li Wei had never experienced a situation like this, when she sensed that a mystical demon had intruded her body, she became utterly panicked and had absolutely no idea what she should do. She lost her usual craftiness and wittiness.

“My Lady, attack with your soul!” when Li Wei shrieked in panic and horror, Colbert yelled from a few steps away.

Colbert and Li Wei possessed identical strengths but he surely had much more battle experience than Li Wei did. When confronted with the crisis, Colbert managed to find an effective way of defending against the mystical demon at the most critical moment and he immediately informed Li Wei about it.

In such a critical situation, Li Wei followed Colbert’s instruction without even thinking. She gathered all her energy of death and started attacking the mystical demon with her soul.

With that, the mystical demon that was devastating her body was immediately forced out. Li Wei was overjoyed to see that the manner of attack was very effective. Hence, she sent more and more soul attacks at that mystical demon.

As long as the correct method was found, one would have no difficulty in self-preservation against a mystical demon. Under repeated soul attacks from Li Wei, that mystical demon could no longer invade her body. It could only streak around her and had to resort to other manners of attack.

Although Han Shuo was screaming and shouting like the rest, he actually had the easiest time dealing with the attacks. He silently raised his body temperature and restricted that mystical demon with his wonderful consciousness. It didn’t take much effort from Han Shuo to completely neutralize the mystical demon’s attack.

Donna who cultivated in the elemental energy of darkness didn’t spend too much effort either. She merely enveloped herself within absolute darkness and completely concealed her aura within the darkness. When a mystical demon flew into her absolute darkness, it was unable to accurately sense her location and had to throw attacks in all directions. The Brook brothers were just as terrified as Li Wei was in the beginning. But before mystical demons attacked their souls, the Brook brothers permeated their bodies with the edictal energy of destruction. Perhaps because the energy that threatened to destroy everything was too powerful, the mystical demons felt a sense of danger and did not linger in their bodies for long.

The party of six, including Han Shuo, by deploying their own unique skills, managed to stand firm and resist attacks from mystical demons.

Kaiser and Eriksson’s party who were just a short distance away heard Li Wei’s loud shouts and discovered her party’s presence.

Kaiser and Eriksson who were in the realm of midgod were obviously able to deal with those mystical demons much more easily than their teammates. The pressure on them was also greatly reduced when a portion of the dozen mystical demons besieging them went on to attack Han Shuo and his party.

Han Shuo had destroyed the Shrine of Ice and had injured Eriksson’s soul when he manifested on this continent with his soul. There was no way that Eriksson would forget this hatred. He immediately charged over when he discovered Han Shuo.

During those few days, Kaiser had learned from the Church of Light establishment on this continent about Han Shuo’s deeds and grievances with the church. After learning that Han Shuo had killed the Light Pope on this continent along with the two demigods, he too was resolute in completely eradicating Han Shuo.

So, when Kaiser saw that Eriksson started charging at Han Shuo, for the purpose of taking vengeance as well as to make sure that Eriksson succeeded, he hastily followed suit.

“I have let you escape from your doom for the last time. Let’s see if you’ll still be as lucky this time!” Eriksson taunted in a ferocious, icy voice.

All those youngsters who were strenuously resisting the onslaught of mystical demons were shocked to their cores by those words. Having just heard Eriksson himself authenticate the story, these people finally realized that Han Shuo’s claim was not untrue.

All of them originally thought that Han Shuo was merely bullshitting. After all, it truly was unimaginable that a lowgod could escape from the boundary of a midgod. It was understandable that they might not be convinced of its genuineness. But now that Eriksson himself had validated the claim, there simply was no room left for doubt. With that, they became even more astonished.

Han Shuo was appalled when he saw Eriksson charging at him with such hatred. He knew that he had no chance of winning against Eriksson who was a midgod. He immediately began considering his countermeasures.
