In a huge swamp, thousands of abyssal creatures were engaged in a fierce battle. These abyssal creatures were all of very high levels. There were Triops that were four to five meters tall, as well as male high-level abyssal creatures similar to Hemanna and Sylvie, mounted on giant eight-clawed, one-eyed abyssal demons. It was obvious that the Triops had the absolute advantage and were forcing the other side to retreat.
These abyssal creatures walked on the swamp as if it were flat ground. Not a single one of them drowned. Colorful blood spurted out. The battle between abyssal creatures was extremely brutal. More often than not, the dead would be torn to pieces. The scene was savage and bloodthirsty!
There were only a few dozen Triops, and they acted as leaders. Among them, the strongest was similar to Hemanna and Sylvie, but not as strong as the one Han Shuo had met in the spacetime discontinuum. Under the orders of the dozens of triops, those abyssal creatures of all sizes attacked the Shero brigade of War Demon Valley mounted on the eight-clawed, one-eyed abyssal demons like locusts.
Hemanna and Sylvie, the two from War Demon Valley, had joined the fray ahead of time. They joined forces with the Shero brigade and defended against the attacks of the Triops with all their might.
Casualties occurred all the time. Han Shuo noticed that whether it was the Triops of Venomfang Castle or Hemanna and the others from War Demon Valley, these high-level beings could skillfully utilize the elemental energy between heaven and earth. Only those huge, ugly, and filthy low-level abyssal creatures could use their bodies to attack. It was obvious that the higher the level, the more powerful they were.
From Hemanna and Sylvie, Han Shuo also learned some interesting general knowledge about the abyssal realm. According to the two women, any creature in the abyssal realm that had a humanoid appearance was a high-level abyssal creature that had evolved to the extreme. These abyssal creatures all possessed extremely powerful strength.
Generally speaking, the huge, ugly abyssal creatures were mostly low-level beings.
This was the first time Han Shuo had seen a battle between abyssal creatures. Every time the two forces clashed, they would first use the low-level abyssal creatures to rush to the front. Those low-level beings were simply cannon fodder. The first to die in every clash were the low-level abyssal creatures. Those lucky enough to survive would also die in the subsequent clashes.
Their battle techniques were outstanding, and every part of their bodies could be used as a lethal weapon. The tails of the Three-Eyed Race were covered in spikes, and a sweep of their tail could pierce through someone larger than them.
After observing for a while, Han Shuo discovered that even with the addition of Hemanna and Sylph, War Demon Valley's side was still dying. After a while, the Shero regiment in War Demon Valley, as well as the eight-clawed, one-eyed abyssal demons used as mounts, were almost completely annihilated. Only then did the Shero regiment remember to retreat.
Severed limbs, severed arms, and internal organs were all stripped from their bodies during the battle. The savage low-level abyssal creatures even swallowed the organs of their enemies immediately after killing them, using their sharp teeth to chew on the organs while continuing to chase after their enemies.
Compared to the battles on Profound Continent, these battles between abyssal creatures were so brutal that it made one feel nauseous. The low-level abyssal creatures, in particular, were cruel and disgusting to the extreme. However, these abyssal creatures had long gotten used to this style of battle. Even Hemanna and Sylph, the two seductive young ladies, showed no signs of fear. They were fully focused on the battle, and their attacks were extremely vicious and ruthless.
Every time a strike landed on an enormous abyssal creature, the elemental energy of lightning and fire would instantly rush into the abyssal creature's body, causing terrifying destructive power that could kill an abyssal creature on the spot.
As the casualties on Hemanna's side increased, the Shero regiment finally decided to break out of the encirclement. After observing for a while, Han Shuo felt that the time had come. He stopped watching and walked step by step towards the center of the brutal battle.
Rows of bone spears pierced through the air. Several dozen abyssal creatures from Venomfang Castle standing in front of Han Shuo were pierced through by the bone spears. With himself at the center, Han Shuo released Boundaries of Fear and Weakness, and added Acid Corrosive Swamp to the swamp.
The Art of Grand Disintegration was a necromancy magic that Han Shuo had mastered not too long ago. It just so happened that he could practice it on these abyssal creatures. As long as he could successfully activate the Art of Grand Disintegration, any abyssal creature shrouded by the Art of Grand Disintegration, be it a low-level filthy being or a high-level being of the Three-Eyed Race in human form, would be torn apart by the Art of Grand Disintegration.
Soon enough, the Triops discovered Han Shuo's presence in the rear. A Triops leader pointed to an expert behind him, indicating for him to take care of Han Shuo.
More than two hundred abyssal creatures of varying levels, including the Triops expert, rushed towards Han Shuo. Before they could get close to Han Shuo, they landed on the acid swamp, their bodies slowly starting to rot.
However, there were some particularly powerful abyssal creatures. Perhaps it was because they were adept at spewing acid poisons, but their bodies were clearly extremely resistant to corrosive poisons. Several dozen abyssal creatures with green skin were unscathed in the acid swamp and charged towards Han Shuo.
Last time in the spacetime discontinuum, Han Shuo had resisted for an unknown period of time with necromancy magic alone. These abyssal creatures were similar in strength to the ones Han Shuo had encountered in the spacetime discontinuum, so they were naturally no match for Han Shuo. They used necromancy magic to form a variety of attacks and killed all two hundred abyssal creatures.
Even that expert from the Three-Eyed Race who came under Han Shuo's command was slain by his Demonic Blades. He did not escape from Han Shuo's grasp.
For some reason, in this Abyss realm, Han Shuo had a carefree temperament that allowed him to do as he pleased. While fighting to his heart's content, Han Shuo's demonic state of mind was not in the least disturbed. Instead, it was very calm. It was as if Han Shuo's actions coincided with the Carnal Realm's state of mind, causing him to unwittingly undergo some incomprehensible change.
After killing more than two hundred people of Venomfang Castle in a row, Han Shuo felt extremely carefree. He laughed heartily like a demon, unleashing his demonic arts to his heart's content. All abyssal creatures that approached Han Shuo were cut down by the Demonic Blades. Not a single one was spared.
In the blink of an eye, Han Shuo had cleared a path and arrived at the Shero regiment where Hemanna and Sylph were. The Shero regiment of War Demon Valley had obviously learned from Hemanna and Sylph that Han Shuo was a friend and not a foe. Seeing Han Shuo's astonishing strength, each and every one of them revealed looks of delight.
Han Shuo did not unleash all of his strength. Otherwise, if he summoned a sea of undead creatures, Han Shuo could even wipe out all of these people of Venomfang Castle in one fell swoop. He understood that in an unfamiliar environment, it was very necessary to conceal some of his means. Only by keeping some of his special skills could he better protect himself.
"I'll take care of the aftermath. Let's retreat first!" Han Shuo said heroically, winking at Hemanna and Sylph.
The two alien girls watched as Han Shuo slaughtered his way through the densely packed enemies of Venomfang Castle. Unlike his previous battle with the two of them, Han Shuo's viciousness and savagery shocked them greatly. It was only now that they realized that Han Shuo did not consider them his opponents at all.
The cruel law of competition in the Abyss realm had created a phenomenon where females worshipped the strong. In the eyes of Hemanna and Sylph, this insolent and callous man who had slaughtered his way through was unstoppable. Their image suddenly grew taller. When they looked at Han Shuo again, the two alien girls' eyes naturally became a little more peculiar. It seemed that the more ruthless and cold-blooded Han Shuo was, the more they could not help but be attracted to him.
"Good friend, I, Nanzaro, have decided to make friends with you." Within the Shero brigade, a burly man with two arms like pythons and fangs said very heroically to Han Shuo.
This alien man called Nanzaro was two meters tall. His back was full of spikes like a hedgehog, and his arms were like two pythons. His palms were like the gaping mouths of pythons, filled with densely packed teeth.
He probably cultivated in the element of darkness. Every time he attacked, there would be a tiny flicker of darkness element. His palms were like the gaping mouths of pythons, and a python's tongue flickered in and out. The powerful force of the element of darkness could suddenly burst out from his palms with great power.
Nanzaro was much more powerful than Hemanna and Sylph. The element of darkness in his body had condensed to a point that even Han Shuo was amazed. It was as though with just a little more, the element of darkness would fill every corner of his body. Once the impurities in his body were removed, he would be able to form a Body of Dark Element.
Han Shuo observed Nanzaro's body with his consciousness and immediately came to a realization. Magi on Profound Continent cultivated mental strength, using their mental strength to slowly experience and understand the elemental energy until their soul was strong enough to form a Soul of Element. Then, with the Soul of Element as the foundation, they would slowly communicate with the elemental energy and attempt to fuse it into their physical bodies to form a Body of Element.
Only when both a Soul of Element and a Body of Element were successfully molded could a magus be considered to have laid the foundation for becoming a god. This Abyss realm was different from the Profound Continent. They seemed to place more emphasis on fusing elemental energy with their bodies. Judging from Nanzaro's body, the path they took was to first connect their bodies with the elements, and then slowly cultivate to form a Body of Element.
On Profound Continent, even without the aid of an Origin Crystal, a magus could spend decades or even centuries to comprehend the elemental energy with his soul and gradually form a Soul of Element. However, on Profound Continent, while there were some magi who could form a Soul of Element, those who could form a Body of Element were few and far between.
That was because, from the very beginning, magi focused on the utilization of their soul and mental strength, sensing and manipulating the elemental energy with their soul. After decades or even centuries of communicating with the elemental energy, once they comprehended a certain abstruse realm, they would be able to form a Soul of Element without the aid of an Origin Crystal.
However, as they had never cultivated their bodies to begin with, it was almost impossible for magi to form a Body of Element. They had no idea how to do it. As far as Han Shuo knew, there were magi on Profound Continent who could form a Soul of Element, but it would be extremely difficult for them to form a Body of Element.
On Profound Continent, it was an almost unsolvable problem for magi to form a Body of Element. Even the few experts who became gods by luck would never divulge the secret of their ascension, or perhaps they were just ignorant about it. This step was simply too difficult. That was why so many magi were forever stuck at this step, never having the opportunity to touch upon the path to godhood.
Looking at Nanzaro before him and thinking about Hemanna and Sylph, Han Shuo suddenly had a realization. The path they took was the opposite of Profound Continent. In that case, they should know more about how to form a Body of Element. However, as they focused on the cultivation of their bodies, the difficulty of forming a Soul of Element with their souls was as difficult as the magi on Profound Continent forming a Body of Element with their bodies.
The two worlds had completely different ways of utilizing elemental energy. Han Shuo could be considered to have some understanding of magi. If he had a thorough understanding of the elemental energy in this world and the method of cultivating the body to form elemental bodies, wouldn't that mean that Han Shuo had found a way to become a god?
All of a sudden, Han Shuo's heart jolted as he recalled the secret of the next layer of the Cemetery of Death on Profound Continent. From the skeletal staff, Han Shuo learned that the Cemetery of Death seemed to contain the secret of becoming a god. In that case, could the secret of becoming a god be referring to this? Could it be that the secret of becoming a god was the combination of the two worlds' different ways of utilizing the elements?
If the truth was as Han Shuo guessed, could it be that the original master of the Cemetery of Death had once come to this Abyss realm? Could it be that he had comprehended the true secret of becoming a god from the two worlds' completely different ways of utilizing the elements?
The more Han Shuo thought about it, the more a vague sense of anticipation grew in his heart. For some reason, Han Shuo felt that his guess might be correct. Perhaps the master of the Cemetery of Death had once come to the Abyss realm, or perhaps a plane similar to the Abyss realm. That was why he was able to combine the cultivation wisdom of two worlds and comprehend the way to become a god.
"Han Shuo, Han Shuo, what's wrong?" Hemanna asked in a rather flustered manner when she saw Han Shuo staring at Nambrough with glowing eyes.
Nambrough's heart grew colder and colder after being stared at by Han Shuo's glowing eyes for a good while. He put on a smile that was uglier than crying and said to Han Shuo, "Friend, I'm not the kind of person you think I am! I'm sorry, if you really have such thoughts, I can introduce you to a few others with such hobbies. But don't look for me. I beg of you, don't look at me like that. "
