Chapter 851: Nope, too weak (1/2)
GDK 851: Nope, too weak
Zovic was flabbergasted. To his knowledge, on the entire Elysium, only the Overgods who possessed the Quintessences could alter and rewrite the operation of natural forces.
The originally unexceptional concentration of elemental energies in the valley had suddenly spiked. This was not something that an average god could accomplish. Even the Five Sovereigns weren’t able to do such a thing if they did not wield the Quintessences.
Zovic took a moment to carefully sense the environment. He was yet again shocked for he discovered that the concentration of all Eight Elemental Energies had increased. An Overgod was only able to alter the concentration of the element they cultivated. This meant that unless the eight respective Overgods joined hands, no being could accomplish what Han Shuo just did.
Zovic was stupefied and he almost could not believe his senses.
Rose and Romon were also incredibly amazed. It was unbelievable even to Rose who knew a thing or two about Han Shuo’s brilliance. She had seen Han Shuo deploy demonic formations of serious firepower but she had never seen him deploy one that could gather elemental energies.
Any gods who cultivated in a region of higher elemental energy concentration could make progress multiple times faster compared to their counterparts in places of lower concentration. In other words, those who cultivated in this valley could grow stronger much faster than others. This would be a terrifying advantage to have.
But the transformation hadn't stopped yet!
While Zovic and the others were still in shock, the elemental energies everywhere continued to gather towards the valley. Han Shuo kept smiling but said nothing other than to ask his servants to keep watching.
***Half an hour later…
The concentration of elemental energies continued to elevate before it finally stabilized - at thirty times the original concentration!
Zovic’s mouth was wide open. He flew all around to survey the valley as he mumbled to himself, “How? How is this possible?!”
Of the party, only the four Elite Zombies were not surprised. The four little fellas knew just how miraculous Han Shuo’s demonic arts were. The Places of Extreme Yuan that they were born from had elemental energies even denser than was found in this region.
After a long, long time, Zovic finally managed to slightly calm down. He asked Han Shuo, “How did you do that?” Zovic’s gaze towards Han Shuo had completely changed to show reverence.
Han Shuo smiled and calmly replied, “Perhaps I’m no match for the Five Sovereigns for now, but the energy which I master has the potential to far exceed all the Sovereigns. What I’ve done to the valley here may seem unimaginable to you, but it’s a normal day’s work to me.”
“Master, you must be more powerful than the Five Sovereigns! I doubt that the Five Sovereigns could accomplish what you could!” Romon admired Han Shuo even more after witnessing the transformation to the valley.
“As I’ve said, the transformation you see now is not the final result. When my other son returns, we will be able to complete the whole thing and the valley will be operating at a much higher capacity,” said Han Shuo before he walked to the monolith engraved with the outline of the Cauldron of Myriad Demon. He fiddled with a few things and the intense elemental energies gradually started dissipating from the valley.
“We will leave the valley in its original state and head to the Omphalos. The next time that we are here, we will complete the stronghold.” Han Shuo, Han Hao, and Han Tu had an appointment at the Omphalos. In addition, Goron and the other experts that Han Shuo had recruited will also wait for him at the Omphalos. Han Shuo wished to assemble everyone at the center of the Fringe and return to this valley.
By now, Zovic could not be more impressed by Han Shuo’s marvelous abilities. He felt that Han Shuo must have the strength to contend against the Five Sovereigns.
After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo decided to conceal the demonic formations in the valley. After the elemental energies dispersed and returned to normal levels, other than the unusually lush plants, the valley appeared quite ordinary.
The party left the valley which Han Shuo temporarily named Pandemonium and headed to the center of the Fringe.
*** The Empyrean Peak. The mountain that pierced through the clouds was guarded by layers upon layers of boundaries. Brightly shining energy towers stood in every corner.
Near the mountain's summit was a majestic palace where a three-meter tall man was sitting on the throne. His thick beard was meticulously woven into many small braids dangling over his chest. His eyes as deep as the sea were looking straight ahead. He exuded a terrifying demeanor even though he was in a calm mood.
In the hall, below his throne, several late-stage highgod experts were crouching before him. They were all characters of great power and influence in the Fringe but they were incredibly humble while in the palace. One of them was an expert who had tried to recruit Han Shuo outside the Omphalos.
“Culver, are you sure about what you’ve just said?” asked the godly and muscular man sitting on the throne curiously as he looked at those crouching under his feet.
