Chapter 744: Breakthrough (2/2)
After a moment of hesitation, Han Shuo extended his left index finger, and carefully with his right hand, poured a single drop of the dark liquid he collected on his fingertip.
Fizzz…Light wisps of smoke immediately emanated from the tip of his index finger. Intense corrosive energy immediately invaded the cells and bones on his index finger, trying to dissolve them into liquid.
The Invincible Omen Body, sensing the terrible destructive power of the corrosive energy, automatically assembled the demonic yuan in Han Shuo’s body. On the instant his skin made contact with the liquid, layers upon layers of defensive energy shields were deployed to resist the corrosion. His demonic yuan was being rapidly consumed.
Fizzzsssss…. The light wisps of smoke turned intense and jet-black.
Under the protection of his Invincible Omen Body, the corrosive energy was neutralized, though it consumed some demonic yuan. His cells that were damaged and broken down were rapidly reconstructed. His finger was as good as new in no time.
Such intense corrosive power! This is hundreds of times more horrible that the fiercest acid! thought Han Shuo, startled.
Those divine guards and godhuntes who fell into the lake, as the entire surface of their bodies were exposed to the onslaught of the corrosive energy, it didn’t take long before the divine energy they had be exhausted. That was the main reason they would be reduced into skeletons. As Han Shuo had taken precautions, on top of the miraculousness of his Invincible Omen Body, just one drop of the liquid couldn’t cause him harm.
What a perfect tool for destroying bodies! remarked Han Shuo in his mind. Following that, he took out an enormous medicine container the shape of a barrel and started filling it with the lake water. He intended to do some proper research with it. The corrosive power of this water was not just perfect for destroying dead bodies, if applied on some malicious demonic weapons, it would greatly increase its destructive power.
Han Shuo felt no qualms about using such a foul poison. After all, he had been devouring other’s divine energy. If it wasn’t for the fact that Godswamp Pharmacy had made a move against him, not only that he wouldn’t bother about exposing their crimes, but he might even secretly purchase the malicious poison from Godswamp Pharmacy.
It has always been Han Shuo’s core motto that he would achieve his goal by all means necessary, by hook or by crook. He delightedly filled several large medicine containers with the lake water. He felt happy that he could obtain the poison without buying it from Godswamp Pharmacy!
But what made the lake so corrosive?
Han Shuo was at a loss. He knew that a lake wouldn’t turn into corrosive liquid without a cause. There must be a reason for it!
After a moment of hesitation, Han Shuo decided to examine the condition under the lake!
The lake water had formidable corrosive power. After testing its power by placing a drop on it on his hand, Han Shuo felt that he did not have enough demonic yuan to allow his entire body be submerged under the liquid safely.
Han Shuo then threw rocks, glassware, and even crystal coins into the lake. He discovered that the corrosive power only act upon flesh and tissue. Non-living things like glassware were only slightly affected by the corrosive power of the lake water.
Han Shuo had also tried using demon generals to probe under the water However, it seemed that the lake water could corrode demon generals as well. Although the corrosion wasn’t as obvious as towards physical flesh, the demon generals were very terrified of touching the lake water. It seemed that the corrosive power of the lake water could act on all living things!
After thinking for a while, Han Shuo took out the Cyano Demonblaze. With one thought, the Cyano Demonblaze was sent flying into the lake.
The Cyano Demonblaze was one of the demonic weapons Han Shuo refined. It carried no aura of life. Although it would still receive some corrosion, it wasn’t enough to destroy the demonic weapon.
Without any demon general attached to the Cyano Demonblaze, Han Shuo couldn’t observe the condition under the lake. All he could tell was that the lake was extremely deep. After maneuvering the Cyano Demonblaze underwater in random directions for some time, seeing that he wasn’t making much progress in learning anything about the lake, he decided to take the demonic weapon out from the depth of the lake.
“Master, let me do it,” suddenly, Cauldron Spirit’s voice sounded in Han Shuo’s mind.
Han Shuo was startled. He replied in a worrying tone, “I have tested the water. The corrosive energy in the lake water seems to act on all living things. Even demon generals dare not enter. Are you sure you’ll be alright?”
“As the ultimate demonic weapon, this puny corrosive power can do nothing to me. Also, if I have more demon generals, I wouldn’t fear energy a hundred times more corrosive than this lake water.
“Alright then, you be careful. Help me find if there’s any peculiar things under the lake. I feel that there must be a unique reason that caused this lake water to be so corrosive. No lake would turn so corrosive just like that!” Han Shuo agreed after thinking for a moment.
Then with one thought, the Cauldron of Myriad Demon slowly flew out from Han Shuo’s body and it automatically went underwater.
