Chapter 670: Aquarius Jade (1/2)

GDK 670: Aquarius Jade

***On a remote island in the Boundless Sea.

Han Shuo was sitting cross-legged atop a bald hill. The ground all around him was marked with gulches as well as seemingly bottomless pits. Several enormous stone pillars were circling around him in the air.

Han Shuo sat as still as a boulder with his eyes closed while the sound of explosions constantly erupted from all around him.

After a long while, Han Shuo suddenly opened his eyes, revealing his pupils that seemed to contain the darkness of the night.

The explosions that constantly rang around him stopped the instant that he opened his eyes. Those gigantic stone pillars suspended in mid-air also ceased to revolve.

Seemingly appearing out of thin air, a giant net above the stone pillars flew downwards and floated into Han Shuo’s palm.

The giant net was called Toxic Dragon Net, and the main ingredients used in refining this weapon were the dragon veins he collected from those Greater Dragons he killed at Dragon Valley, the most poisonous miasmic gas he gathered at the Southern Border, soft silks harvested from the depths of the Boundless Sea, as well as nine other rare materials. Han Shuo managed to collect them with difficulty with the Cauldron Spirit’s guidance.

Upon deployment of the Toxic Dragon Net, poisonous miasmic gas would gush out from the dragon veins to form a cloud of poisonous gas. Similar to the miasmic gasses inside the Pentacloud Miasma, the cloud of poisonous gas possessed intense corrosive power.

Once someone was entangled in the Toxic Dragon Net, the miasmic gas would be activated. The gigantic net that Han Shuo had personally crafted using dragon veins as the base material was extremely tough and durable. Without outstanding divine weapons or strength that far exceeded Han Shuo’s, it would be basically impossible for one to break free from the net. This assured that the victim was constantly subjected to the corrosion of the poisonous gas.

Half-a-year had unwittingly passed since Donna and her experts departed Profound Continent. During the six-month period, Han Shuo had been stabilizing his current Omen realm and, with Cauldron Spirit’s guidance, refined several demonic weapons using some valuable materials in his possession.

Other than the Toxic Dragon Net, Han Shuo also refined Green Hypergolic Dust and Banner of Hallucination. The Green Hypergolic Dust was made by gathering ghosefire from thousands of corpses and mixing them with a few types of rare blood. Once one came into contact with the Green Hypergolic Dust, they would spontaneously combust with flames that are extremely difficult to distinguish. The Banner of Hallucination was made by imprinting an intricate hallucination-inducing formation on a large banner. Those covered by the banner would be trapped and, unless they understood the miraculousness of the formation, they wouldn’t be able to get out easily.

Han Shuo, with the Cauldron Spirit’s help, had exhausted many of his precious materials and around three months’ time to craft the three demonic weapons.

Other than having successfully crafted the three demonic weapons, during the six month, Han Shuo’s avatar of destruction that had been trying to comprehend new insights into the edict of destruction had attained mid-stage lowgod realm - the same realm as his avatar of death.

His avatar of destruction could make use of the power of faith of his believers on Profound Continent. In addition to having absorbed the energy of destruction from the slaughtering of hundreds of thousands of orc warriors, he wasn’t lacking in divine energy. The reason that he couldn’t make improvements in his cultivation for such a long time was that his body contained too many impurities which prevented him from comprehending the edict of destruction.

From peeking at the Brook brothers as they restored their divine energy, and thanks to Cauldron Spirit purging the impurities from his avatar, Han Shuo managed to grasp some new understanding on how to utilize the edict of destruction. On top of the new insights gained from watching the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester being destroyed, his avatar finally made a breakthrough.

Perhaps the only thing that Han Shuo felt disappointed about was that he had yet to truly comprehend the Omen realm. According to the Cauldron Spirit’s explanation, demonic cultivators grew by going through bloodshed. It wouldn’t be easy to advance by relying purely on secluded cultivation. Besides, half a year’s time was nothing but a heartbeat for demonic art cultivators. It came as no surprise to him that he wouldn’t be able to gain much progress within that time.

During this period of time, using the Calamity Church as his eyes and ears, Han Shuo became aware of the paradigm shift that happened to Profound Continent.

Those from the Church of Light and Shrine of Ice had abruptly become well-behaved. They withdrew themselves from the politics and affairs of Profound Continent and relocated to remote and desolate lands.

Without the backing of the Church of Light and the Shrine of Ice, Oden Empire and Kasi Empire, against the unstoppable forces of Lancelot Empire, Angela Empire, and Brut Merchant Alliance, could only retreat further and further. It was only a matter of time before they surrendered or were completely defeated.

The situation on Profound Continent was moving in an ideal path for Han Shuo. That big fat Pope of the Calamity Church who recognized the new situation served Han Shuo with all his heart. He did an excellent job helping Han Shuo manage everything about this continent, and for this Han Shuo was very grateful.

Han Shuo’s women, perhaps long accustomed to him mysteriously going missing, or maybe because Han Shuo had made them promises in advance, although they missed Han Shuo very much, they remained in a rather stable state of mind.

Seeing that the Profound Continent was on the right track, Han Shuo could finally feel at ease about this world. After refining the three demonic weapons, he headed to the extreme depths of the Boundless Sea.

Following the Cauldron Spirit’s instructions, Han Shuo sank to the extreme depths of the sea and located a region where sharks circled back and forth constantly. After crossing through multiple water vortexes, he arrived at a place of extreme water with incomparably intense yuan energy of water.

According to the Cauldron Spirit, back then, in order to maximize the wonderful functions of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester, Gu Tian Xie the Exalted Demonlord, using his supernatural power that could alter the heaven’s and earth’s law, deployed the five largest places of extremes on Profound Continent.
