Chapter 912: Misty Sea (1/2)
GDK 912: Misty Sea
One was certain to step into the Misty Sea while traveling to the Fringe from the Death Dominion. After traversing the Misty Sea and crossing two towering mountains, one would officially step out of the Death Dominion.
The sea was called the Misty Sea because every inch of it was constantly shrouded by a thick mist connecting the surface of the sea to the sky. The mist was so thick and dense that even the most intense sunlight could not reach the sea.
The vast ocean was home to innumerable bizarre and odd sea creatures. There were a number of non-human races that lived at the depths of the sea all year. They would never step ashore or interact with beings that lived on land.
It was very easy to lose one's way in the Misty Sea. There was no monument or landmark for reference, but endless stretches of confusing whiteness. Gods traveling alone in the sea, without adequate strength, would most likely become prey to the godhunters and lose their lives in the Misty Sea.
One day, while journeying home from the Death Dominion, Han Shuo finally came to the Misty Sea. He gazed at the endless whiteness that veiled the sea and noticed that the mist was much more intense than the last time he was there.
In addition, he noticed that the elements of death and darkness were somewhat more intense than in the past. He was also surprised to discover that no godhunters were wandering aimlessly around the sea looking for prey.
Months ago, while entering the Death Dominion, Han Shuo discovered many godhunters lurking in the Misty Sea. A few of them were even foolish enough to provoke him. After Han Shuo slaughtered those fools, he simply cast their bodies into the sea and gave the massive sea creatures a feast.
Many godhunters would patrol the Misty Sea in groups. Thanks to the natural visual obstacle, no one could see them coming or avoid them. And once they run into a prey, they would attack in a group. If their prey turned out to be stronger, they could easily use the mist to escape.
It was as though the ocean was made for godhunters!
Soon after entering the Misty Sea, Han Shuo started going around and scanned the sea with his consciousness. He detected no life forms other than sea creatures. He thought that it was rather regrettable and he found it a little strange.
Along his journey home, Han Shuo had wiped out dozens of big and small godhunter factions. Following the information provided by Scarlett, he went to the regions that godhunters usually gathered and used his extraordinarily powerful soul sensing power to find and hunt them.
From Ronson Canyon to the Misty Sea, Han Shuo had killed more than five hundred godhunters. With their divine souls, Cauldron of Myriad Demon had gained more than five hundred demon generals.
When he had traveled halfway into the ocean, his consciousness suddenly jolted. A sense of danger suddenly filled his heart.
Han Shuo bunched his brows and suddenly halted. He first cleared his mind of random thoughts and focused his consciousness on the sensation that suddenly swarmed into his heart.
After attaining the Skybreak Realm in demonic arts, Han Shuo's consciousness had become extremely sensitive to impending dangers. Whenever that was a real danger looming, he could always sense it in advance and take the necessary actions to avert a disaster.
When the sense of danger came to his heart and after taking a moment to think, he immediately connected the dots. He realized that it wasn’t a coincidence that brought so many usual changes to the Misty Sea.
Han Shuo transformed his consciousness into hundreds of thousands of strands and spread them all around him while sending several dozens of demon generals from his body. They spread everywhere to look for the source of danger.
”Who is it?” shouted Han Shuo, but there was no reply.
After the latest advancement in his strength, Han Shuo possessed absolute confidence against any opponent, save for an Overgod with the Quintessence. Han Shuo ruled out the possibility that it was an Overgod as they were proud characters and their pride wouldn’t allow them to mount a sneak attack against anyone.
Han Shuo’s consciousness and demon general had extended to every corner of the Misty Sea but had discovered nothing. However, not only was the sense of danger not disappearing, it was growing more and more intense. Han Shuo understood that his enemy must be somewhere in the Misty Sea.
With one thought, Han Shuo withdrew his consciousness and demon generals back into his body. He let out a cold groan and continued flying away from the Misty Sea at an even greater speed.
Han Shuo reasoned that if his enemy was hiding in the Misty Sea, then they must be planning to use the special features of the Sea against him. They wouldn’t want Han Shuo to leave the Sea and will do everything they can to intercept him, thus they will be forced to come out from hiding, revealing themself.
