Chapter 561 - Strengthening
GDK 561: Strengthening
“Mister Han Shuo is truly a terrifying character!” Bord remarked to Zinia beside him as he stared at Han Shuo.
“Lord Leviathan, didn’t you say that these energies would corrode the soul? Why is it that Mister Han Shuo appears to be just fine, and even seems to very much enjoying it?” Zinia too looked up and down at Han Shuo astonished, not understanding how he did that.
Leviathan and Manticole turned to exchange glances with each other with eyes flickering with amazement. After a long while, Leviathan finally forced a smile and said to Manticole, “It seems that he is invulnerable to this soul-corroding energy.”
Manticole nodded and replied, “Yep. Let’s wait here for a while.”
The demonic infant was at full force. The large amount of negative energy all around him was drawn to Han Shuo and entered his body. They were then converted by the demonic infant into demonic yuan, which subsequently trickled into every part of Han Shuo’s body like tiny streams.
At this point, Han Shuo’s realm state had been trending towards stability, and he was on the verge of making a breakthrough in his cultivation of demonic arts. For days he had worried about the issue of having insufficient demonic yuan. Who could have guessed that before entering the Void, before even seeing the mysterious Void with his own eyes, he would be so fortunate to obtain a considerable amount of energy.
Strands and strands of demonic yuan flowed into his cells and bones, which then strengthened Han Shuo’s body bit by bit through some kind of bizarre method. Every time Han Shuo made a breakthrough, his physical body was the first to transform and strengthen. This time was no exception. When that demonic yuan circulated, Han Shuo could clearly sense his body becoming even mightier and more robust.
There seemed to be no concept of time inside the Void. After an undetermined amount of time had passed, Han Shuo discovered that not the slightest bit of energy around him was converging towards his body.
Although there were a few hundred clusters of that negative energy around the Void, individually, they weren’t actually that powerful. After the demonic infant removed the dross out of the energy, what truly was converted into demonic yuan and absorbed by him was merely 10 percent. Moreover, achieving the Nine Changes realm seemed to require an extraordinary amount of energy. Han Shuo felt that there wasn’t enough energy around him when the forging of his physical body was only halfway done. Therefore, he had no choice but to stop.
It seemed inside this place that, the further away the sound originated, the clearer it became. The closer one got to the source, the softer it was. This would be very deadly to an expert as they would have no way of detecting those air streams that were so dangerously close to them.
More and more cries sounded loud and clear from around Han Shuo. He knew that some of those Demons that entered together had perished. Suddenly, he saw a rapidly whirling air stream silently shooting towards Bord and Zinia. There was an incisive conical object within that air stream. If it came into contact with Bord and Zinia, Han Shuo was certain that neither of them would make it out alive.
Han Shuo, who had been closely following Bord and Zinia, suddenly reached out with his hand, grabbed onto Zinia’s supple shoulder, and pulled backward. The downward trajectory of the couple suddenly changed, and they very easily avoided a collision path with that air stream.
Han Shuo’s consciousness covered a huge area. The couple managed to avoid one danger after another by being pushed and pulled like toys by Han Shuo again and again. The party finally touched down and arrived in a huge valley with mist lingering in the air. Bord and Zinia, whose heads were spinning, looked all around and suddenly discovered that of the thirty-something Demons that came down, one third had died. Those that remained were battered and exhausted. Even Manticole and Leviathan weren’t in their best shapes.
“Thank you Mister Han Shuo,” the couple suddenly realized just how fortunate they were and most respectfully expressed their gratitude towards Han Shuo.
