Chapter 743: Profit from a misfortune (2/2)

“Don’t worry about me. Just look after Andrina for me!” Han Shuo tossed Andrina into Aobashi's arms, and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground.

The creaking noises from Han Shuo’s left hand grew louder and clearer. Aobashi saw that the veins in Han Shuo’s left hand were bursting one by one, spraying blood onto his arm.

Aobashi was dumbstruck by the scene. She wanted to help Han Shuo but didn’t know what she could do. After catching Andrina from Han Shuo, she stood and stared at him foolishly.

“He's not going to make it,” said Blightsoar who had arrived beside Aobashi wearing a dim face. He said softly, “If it wasn’t for Bryan and Andrina, we wouldn’t still be alive right now! I have checked the area. There are a few tunnels down below. The godhunters must have escaped using the tunnels.”

Aobashi’s pretty face was blemishes with anxiety. She could do nothing but watch as more and more veins burst from Han Shuo’s bloody left arm. Gradually, the destruction reached his left shoulder. Aobashi cried, “What should we do? What should we do? Bryan landed in this predicament trying to save Erebus. What should we do?”

“Forget it. Given that even Erebus couldn’t resist the power, there isn’t much hope left for Bryan.” Blightsoar let out a sigh and continued, “I truly did not expect things to turn out this way. All these years, we have underestimated the godhunters!”

“Who said that I’m not going to make it?!” shouted Han Shuo in an annoyed manner. He was strenuously fighting the invasion of the energy but the two were busy talking about how his death was certain beside his ears. Of course Han Shuo would be irritated!

“You can still talk?” Aobashi was pleasantly surprised. She hastily asked, “Bryan, tell us, how can we help you?”

“Bring Andrina and Erebus out and get away from here. Get out of my sight. I won’t die so easily!” shouted Han Shuo.

“Look at yourself, how can we leave you alone in this state?” Blightsoar couldn’t be angry at Han Shuo for shouting at them at a moment like this. “Besides, there’s no telling if the godhunters will return. If they do and no one is around you, wouldn’t that further cement your death?”

“Lady, Gentleman, please, I beg you, leave me alone, that is all I ask of you!” shouted Han Shuo. “Aobashi, considering that I have saved Erebus and that Andrina has saved all of us, leave. Your presences will only disturb my mind!”

Aobashi was startled. After staring at Han Shuo for a long while, seeing that Han Shuo was persistently hastening them to leave and his words had grown more and more impolite, she stomped her feet ruthlessly and said, “Fine. I’ll leave you to yourself. Hope to see you again - and alive.”

“Bryan, I, Blightsoar, will always remember the favor!” Blightsoar said solemnly before he held Erebus and Aobashi and left.

After Aobashi and Blightsoar had gone completely out of sight, Han Shuo no longer repressed his pain. He clenched his teeth and shouted, “Come at me, you fucker! Let’s see if you can actually take me!”

The energy in Han Shuo’s left shoulder was let loose. It immediately began to travel all throughout Han Shuo’s body at a tremendous rate.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

Crisp crackling noises repeatedly sounded from Han Shuo’s body. The flesh and skin from his head to toes started to crack and split. He was drenched in blood. He looked hideous and gruesome.

The Invincible Omen Body was deployed, filling every cell in Han Shuo’s body with energy and making it immensely tough. The veins and tendons of his crushed arm started to reconnect at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even his bones were being rebuilt. If Aobashi and Blightsoar were around, they would surely be dumbstruck by the scene!

Soon, his gory left arm was completely healed, not a wound nor scar to be seen.

Rattling noises continued to sound from his body as his veins ruptured and his bones fractured. Following that, when the Invincible Omen Body was deployed, his shattered veins and bones would reattach and reconnect at an astonishing rate.

Gradually, the energy that was wreaking havoc in Han Shuo’s body grew weaker and weaker. Its speed also grew slower.

“Master, absorb that energy, fuse it with your avatar of destruction. The energy is self-aware and will be greatly beneficial to your avatar!” Cauldron Spirit suddenly cried out to Han Shuo.

Han Shuo was shocked. The energy has a mind of its own? That explains why it’s such a nightmare to deal with!

“There is indeed destruction divine energy in the energy, but it is different from the divine energy possessed by my avatar. I doubt my avatar could assimilate the energy. Besides, the energy desires to destroy all things. My avatar might not be able to survive it!” replied Han Shuo.

“Master, direct the energy to me. I will remold the self-awareness of the energy. After that, it will be perfectly safe for your avatar to fuse with!” Cauldron Spirit immediately responded.

Han Shuo was elated. Cauldron Spirit couldn't just remold divine souls, it could also remold this conscious energy!

Han Shuo, practiced in borrowing Cauldron Spirit’s energy, deployed the Invincible Omen Body in specific areas to guide the now-weakened energy to Cauldron Spirit. Although the energy had an awareness, its mind was not sophisticated at all. It would travel along regions easiest to destroy, thus it headed along the path that Han Shuo had set for it.

Finally, the energy flowed into the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, allowing Han Shuo to relax for a moment. Following that, the Cauldron started to slowly spur inside Han Shuo’s body. The demon generals in the cauldron started to flutter and dance. They orbited the energy in a strange trajectory, eating away the awareness in the energy bit by bit.

There were now over twenty divine souls being trapped in the Cauldron of Myriad Demon. These divine souls belonged to the perished godhunters and divine guards Han Shuo collected before entering the cave. Eventually, the divine souls would be refined into demon generals by the Cauldron Spirit.

The myriad of demons in the Cauldron danced, corroding the awareness in the energy restrained by dark radiances. A stand of green smoke suddenly floated from the wall of the Cauldron and into the energy being held by the demon generals. The energy suddenly started to violently struggle to free itself, as though knowing that its existence was near an end, and was giving its final resistance.

The strand of green smoke swayed with it for a moment before the energy slowly stopped resisting, as though the awareness of the energy had been subdued. Gradually, the demon generals flew off from the captured energy one after another, returning to lie dormant on the wall of the Cauldron. The captured energy had turned calm and obedient. Cauldron Spirit guided it to the avatar of destruction that was sitting inside the Cauldron of Myriad Demon.

“Master, I have reformatted the awareness in the energy. You can now fuse your avatar with the energy!” Cauldron Spirit transmitted to Han Shuo’s consciousness.

Han Shuo was elated. He set his mind free and at ease while slowly allowing the energy into his avatar.

Everything happened smoothly. After the energy entered his body, he started assimilating it the way he would absorb a godhunter’s divine energy. During the process, his avatar’s mind received a constant stream of information originating from the awareness in the energy. They were all about the profound knowledge and comprehension of the edict of destruction. Also, it included the complete instruction on forming and using the Orbs of Destruction.

The Cauldron of Myriad Demon was indeed incredibly useful and miraculous. After being remolded by Cauldron Spirit, the energy gave not the slightest resistance but cooperated with Han Shuo in the assimilation process. Han Shuo could feel that the destruction divine energy in his body sharply increased with each passing second. The feeling of having energy filling and packing every inch of his body felt similar to having Cauldron Spirit’s energy flooding his demonic body.

But in contrast to borrowing Cauldron Spirit’s energy, the destruction divine energy would always be a part of him! It wasn’t temporary and it didn’t strain his body beyond its limits!

Suddenly, abstruse insights and realizations started coming to the avatar’s mind. The destruction divine energy in its body started to spur energetically. They were traveling in a certain trajectory and being condensed, similar to how he could condense his divine energy to form an Orb of Destruction!

A breakthrough! Han Shuo could not be happier as he knew that his avatar of destruction would soon reach midgodhood!
