With metal elite zombie leading the way, the tight security of the Shrine of Ice's main peak was practically nonexistent. A long and narrow passageway was opened up in the solid rock walls. Han Shuo and water elite zombie followed behind metal elite zombie and rapidly retreated.
The Ice Goddess statue was the crux of Project God Making. The Ice Goddess statue, developed by numerous masters in alchemy, pharmaceutics, and smithing, was the foundation of all Ice Celestial Corey's hopes. Its collapse was like a sharp sword ruthlessly stabbing into Corey's heart, causing him unbearable pain.
From the feedback metal elite zombie gave to Han Shuo, he understood that all the masters who refined the Ice Goddess statue had been killed by him. Having lost these masters who had spent many years in this field, Ice Celestial Corey's Project God Making could never be restored.
Although Han Shuo, who had sustained serious injuries from the 'Ice Blast', had successfully intimidated Ice Celestial Corey and the others by using the Demonic Siren and the fear they had towards him, when Han Shuo saw that Ice Celestial Corey had once again sunk into madness because of the Ice Goddess statue, he knew that Corey would not be easy to deal with in his desperation. Therefore, he had no choice but to leave for the time being.
When they were some distance away from the belly of the mountain, Han Shuo turned his head to look at water elite zombie who had absorbed an enormous amount of energy. When he did so, Han Shuo was suddenly startled. He was delighted by the transformation of water elite zombie.
After absorbing the energy of ice and water from the Ice Goddess statue, water elite zombie's originally ordinary appearance had undergone a complete transformation. His thick eyebrows became slender and curved, his nose high and straight. His dry and dull skin became as moist and smooth as water. Even his withered yellow hair shone with a bright luster.
The most ordinary water elite zombie, after absorbing that energy, had actually transformed into an elegant and handsome youth. Due to the abundance and transformation of the energy in his body, this handsome youth had a kind of gentle and bewitching temperament, very attractive!
Misty water vapor constantly swirled around the water elite zombie. As Han Shuo gazed at it, the water elite zombie gave him a kind of ethereal beauty that didn't seem real. Compared to before, water elite zombie had undergone a complete transformation, be it in appearance or temperament.
What astonished Han Shuo the most was that the transformation was still ongoing!
Han Shuo understood that the amount of energy absorbed by the water elite zombie was enormous. The digestion process was not something that could be completed in a short period of time. However, once the water elite zombie completely absorbed and digested the energy, Han Shuo believed that the water elite zombie would certainly bring him an even greater surprise.
"I'll send you back first. You need to quietly absorb this energy!" After sensing the condition of water elite zombie's body, Han Shuo softly chanted an incantation and sent water elite zombie back to the netherworld.
Not long after the water elite zombie left, Han Shuo, with metal elite zombie leading the way, returned to the rock wall at the center of the mountain.
Standing at the mouth of the cliff, Han Shuo raised his head and gazed at the vast expanse of white ice and snow. He sensed the experts moving at high speed within the belly of the mountain. Han Shuo muttered to himself, "Shrine of Ice, my revenge has only just begun!"
Upon finishing those words, Han Shuo also sent metal elite zombie back to the netherworld. His body's injuries did not allow Han Shuo to stay any longer. He found an opportune moment and soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light and rapidly departing from the snowy region of the Shrine of Ice.
In Icicle City, Han Shuo settled down in an ordinary small hotel.
For the past few days, Han Shuo had been staying in his room. The physical injuries he suffered at the Shrine of Ice had been stabilized by Han Shuo.
The damage to Han Shuo's physical body required blood essence and demonic yuan to heal. This healing process was actually not very long and merely consumed Han Shuo's blood essence and demonic yuan. Blood essence and demonic yuan needed to be cultivated over a long period of time in order to be improved bit by bit. Once too much was consumed, it would truly affect Han Shuo's strength.
After a few days of effort, Han Shuo's body that was riddled with holes had completely recovered. However, a significant amount of blood essence and demonic yuan had indeed been consumed. After meditating for a few days, Han Shuo's demonic yuan had somewhat recovered. However, he could not convert too much blood essence within a short period of time.
Seeing that his injuries had stabilized, Han Shuo recalled that Gilbert's soul was inside the Demonslayer Edge. The inside of the Demonslayer Edge was not a good place. Any soul that entered the Demonslayer Edge would be corroded by it. Even though Han Shuo had specially opened up an area for Gilbert, he still could not allow him to stay inside for too long.
Therefore, Han Shuo used some of the materials he had in his space ring and spent a few more days refining a thumb ring. A sparkling and translucent thumb ring was taken out by Han Shuo from his space ring. The name of this thumb ring was the Soul Depository Finger, and its main use was to store souls.
After setting up a soundproof defensive formation in the room and summoning a few wraiths to stand guard outside the door, Han Shuo finally took out the Demonslayer Edge.
Holding the Soul Depository Finger in his palm, Han Shuo's consciousness slowly entered the Demonslayer Edge. First, Han Shuo immediately sensed the main soul within the Demonslayer Edge that was currently fusing with the Ball of Destruction. Then, based on his understanding of the interior of the Demonslayer Edge, he roamed among the enormous souls within the Demonslayer Edge, searching for the soul that was familiar with Gilbert's aura.
When absorbing Gilbert's soul into the Demonslayer Edge, Han Shuo had purposely opened up an area within the Demonslayer Edge specifically to store Gilbert's soul. After Han Shuo's consciousness entered the Demonslayer Edge, he quickly found that area based on his familiarity with Gilbert.
Within the Demonslayer Edge, there were all kinds of souls, as well as many negative energies. Some were strong, some were weak, but all of them were very corrosive. Even dark dragon Gilbert's soul would be corroded by these energies if Han Shuo hadn't specially opened up an area for him. He might even fuse with those energies and transform into a powerful force for the Demonslayer Edge's evolution.
As soon as he found Gilbert's soul, Han Shuo's mood relaxed. He hastily used his consciousness to wrap Gilbert's soul, preventing him from being affected by the various corrosive energies within the Demonslayer Edge. Little by little, he brought Gilbert away from the Demonslayer Edge.
Han Shuo's consciousness clearly sensed the joy of Gilbert's soul. It seemed that Gilbert had sensed his master's aura within Han Shuo's consciousness. That was why he was so obedient, following Han Shuo's consciousness and leaving the Demonslayer Edge without the slightest resistance.
A wisp of dim light suddenly drifted out from the hilt of the Demonslayer Edge. When that wisp of dim light completely left the Demonslayer Edge, Han Shuo made two hand seals, one on the Soul Depository Finger, and the other on Gilbert's soul.
Suddenly, that wisp of dim light turned into a fine line and fiercely sank into the Soul Depository Finger. The sparkling and translucent ring suddenly flowed with a faint green light. That wisp of fine line constantly twisted and changed within the ring. In an extremely short period of time, a hazy shadow took shape.
"Master, is that you, Master?" A voice as soft as a mosquito's came from the ring. Not only could the Soul Depository Finger store souls, under Han Shuo's refinement, it could also transmit the consciousness of the soul.
"Gilbert, you bastard! Who told you to be so disobedient!" When Gilbert's familiar voice sounded, Han Shuo's heart was filled with endless emotions.
"Master, great Master, I'm so happy to be able to see you. This is great, this is really great. Haha …" When he heard Han Shuo's words, Gilbert immediately shouted incoherently within the Soul Depository Finger. However, because he only existed as a soul, even though his voice was amplified by the ring, it still sounded as soft as a mosquito's.
Gilbert's familiar voice immediately made Han Shuo recall the time when he was together with him. Now, Han Shuo's soul was intact, but Gilbert could only possess a soul. If it wasn't for Han Shuo using a special method to store his soul, his soul would have slowly disappeared between heaven and earth with the passage of time.
"Idiot! Alright, shut up! " Han Shuo scolded smilingly, but his heart was filled with warmth. Then, seeing that Gilbert had stopped nagging inside the ring, Han Shuo sternly said, "Gilbert, theoretically, you're already dead. Now, I've used a special method to keep your soul."
"Master, I understand," Gilbert said faintly after remaining silent for a while.
Suddenly, Gilbert thought of something. He saw that the ring was glowing dimly, and the shadow inside was rapidly revolving. Gilbert anxiously asked again, "Oh right, Master, what happened to my grandfather and the dark dragons? Did they manage to escape from the Shrine of Ice's evil hands in the end? "
"Don't worry, your grandfather and the dark dragons have escaped from the Jadefrost Cage. They should be in the Black Dragon Gorge, Tanai. Besides …" Han Shuo knew what Gilbert was worried about. He slowly explained to him what happened after his soul entered the Demonslayer Edge.
"Wahaha … that's great! Master, kill all the people of the Shrine of Ice for me. Humph, if I wasn't dead, I would definitely make them pay the price. I would kill every single one of them! "dark dragon Gilbert shouted loudly.
"Gilbert, the reason why I placed you inside the Soul Depository Ring and communicated with you is to give you a choice. With your current soul, I have two ways to let you reappear in this world. One is to use necromancy magic to turn you into a bone dragon, and the other is to use demonic arts to refine you into a demon general. I'm going to let you choose for yourself! "Han Shuo said.
"What's the difference?" Gilbert asked.
"If it's a bone dragon, you only have a skeleton, but you're still a dragon. But if it's a demon general, you're no longer a dragon, "Han Shuo explained.
"Erm … which one is a little stronger?" Gilbert asked again.
"I think, a demon general might be a little stronger!" Han Shuo replied.
"Then a demon general. I just want to be stronger!" Gilbert said resolutely.
