Chapter 744: Breakthrough (1/2)
GDK 744: Breakthrough
Soon, surely enough, Han Shuo’s avatar that cultivated in the edict of destruction had successfully breakthrough to midgod realm with the help of the wonderfully bizarre energy.
But what made Han Shuo even more excited was that his avatar was only halfway through in assimilating the bizarre energy!
The energy continued to fuse with Han Shuo’s avatar even after it had become an early-stage midgod of destruction. The divine energy in his body continued to soar as more and more enlightening information about the true essence of the edict of destruction fused with his avatar’s soul.
As his happened, the shattered veins and bones in Han Shuo’s main body were rapidly being reconstructed. His body would rattle and crackle, as though firecrackers were set off inside his body. If anyone else was there, they will surely be shocked and unsettled.
Han Shuo would usually lose track of the passing of time while under such a state. Series of loud crackling noises would jolt every part of his body, causing him to involuntarily jerk and move with the crunchy noise. Han Shuo at that moment appeared freakish, to say the least.
“Congratulations, Master! You body has been strengthened once more. From the looks of it, you should have mastered the second level of Invincible Omen Body!” Cauldron Spirit’s voice sounded in Han Shuo’s consciousness.
Han Shuo was roused from what he felt to be ages of deep sleep. He shook his head and tilted his neck from side to side.
Gradually, no crackling noises could be heard from his body. Han Shuo cracked a grin and asked, “You mean that even when I’m not borrowing your energy, Invincible Omen Body will automatically deploy when I’m attacked?”
“Correct. On top of that, as your body has become stronger, you can now use my energy for a longer duration!” explained Cauldron Spirit.
“Haha, wonderful. Wonderful!” cheered Han Shuo.
Han Shuo’s avatar of destruction was still in deep meditation inside the Cauldron of Myriad Demon. His main body has fully recovered from all the havoc and damages the energy made. He raised his head and looked all around. He saw that he was alone in this enormous underground palace.
There were large chunks of shattered rocks everywhere. They were dark purple in color, which in the dark underground, appeared as dark as coal. The energy towers all around had collapsed. The palace at the center was riddled with holes after being struck by broken rocks. It had lost its dignified and solemn appearance
Blightsoar and Aobashi must had checked and examined the area before leaving. There likely wouldn’t be any important or significant item left behind. Han Shuo did not find anything valuable after circling the chamber multiple times. Other than the palace and energy towers made of stony materials, there were only scattered fragments of rocks on every surface.
Seeing that he couldn’t find anything valuable and that his injuries had completely healed, Han Shuo decided to fly up and exit the cave.
After ascending through the pitch-dark vertical tunnel, Han Shuo returned to the energy crystal cave. His demon generals were still wandering about the nearby caves as Han Shuo had previously instructed. The cave network was now completely empty. Neither divine guards nor godhunters could be seen.
Han Shuo exited the cave and proceeded with flying across the chilling lake. The gravity above the lake had returned to normal and therefore Han Shuo had no problem traversing it. After he landed on the ground safely, he spent a moment in contemplation while staring at the deep and dark water. He then took out a medicine bottle and collected a sample of the water.
“Huh?!” Han Shuo let out a soft cry of surprise after he carefully examined the jet-black sample he collected. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
Originally, Han Shuo assumed that a large amount of corrosive poison was dumped into the lake to make it so corrosive. But now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that his assumption didn’t make much sense.
This lake was enormous and deep. Just how many bottles of poison would it take to turn the large volume of liquid to become so corrosive?
From Han Shuo’s observations of the Godswamp Pharmacy, he could tell that this kind of poison was very precious to them, as though it took them a lot of effort to produce these poison. Han Shuo guesstimated that they must dissolve at least a few tons of poison into the lake in order to make it so corrosive.
However, to throw tons of such costly poison into this lake just to form an ineffective defense, surely the godhunters wouldn’t be that stupid?
Puzzled, Han Shuo split up a strand of his consciousness to carefully examine the liquid he collected in the medicine bottle. Han Shuo was rather wary of this immensely corrosive dark liquid that could dissolve a midgod in no time.
He discovered that although there were indeed components of the poison in the lake water, it wasn’t as concentrated or potent as those produced by Godswamp Pharmacy. After spending some time in deep thought, Han Shuo reached a baffling conclusion - the poisons produced by Godswamp Pharmacy were made using the lake water!
