Outside the Abyss, a wide open space was filled with colorful banners.
The ravines on the ground formed a complicated and abstruse irregular pattern. Streaks of bloody shadows danced in the air. Han Shuo stood in the middle of it all, eyes closed, not uttering a single word. He just kept shooting out beams of light from his hands, landing on the banners that were scattered all over the ground.
A gloomy and chilling aura slowly overflowed from the banners. A bizarre energy attached itself to the bloody shadows and gradually converged into the ravine ahead …
Suddenly, a shrill and terrifying howl resounded from the ravine. Evil light shone brilliantly from within, as though something was undergoing a transformation …
Outside, Bechymos, Bord, Zinia, and the others stared at the transformation in bewilderment. They had absolutely no idea what was going on. Only Sanguinar, Han Shuo's disciple, had a vague idea of what was going on because Han Shuo had taught him the general knowledge of demonic arts.
"What is Han Shuo doing?" Jasper's brows were slightly knitted as she mumbled to herself.
"Master is refining a weapon," Sanguinar answered softly when he heard Jasper's muttering.
Everyone, including Bechymos, who heard Sanguinar's words, suddenly turned to look at Han Shuo. Their eyes brimmed with curiosity. Jasper asked, "Refining a weapon? What is refining a weapon? "
"It's more or less the same as forging a weapon, but much more complicated. Apart from some special materials, one also needs demonic yuan and blood essences. It's very miraculous," Sanguinar explained subconsciously as he looked somewhat excitedly at Han Shuo, who was shooting out arrows of blood from his fingers.
Everyone around him was still baffled by Sanguinar's explanation. Even the last Great Demon King of the Abyss realm, Bechymos, was deeply frowning as he did not understand what was going on.
Sanguinar did not say anything else. His eyes glistened as he concentrated on Han Shuo refining a demonic weapon with his mind. He imprinted every gesture and incantation of Han Shuo deeply into his mind.
"Can we really pass through the Stardust Current?" Bechymos asked herself inwardly, her green eyes fixed on the mysterious and unfathomable Han Shuo, pinning all her hopes on Han Shuo.
"Han Shuo is too magical. He always has some incredible performances." Ever since Hemanna and Sylph learned that Han Shuo had become the Lord of the Abyss Realm, their admiration for Han Shuo had reached new heights. In their hearts, Han Shuo was omnipotent and the most powerful being in the world.
Suddenly, a few beams of dazzling light shot out of Han Shuo's body and landed in the gully beside him. In the blink of an eye, those gullies seemed to connect into lines amidst the light. A few glittering objects, sparkling with dazzling radiance, shot around Han Shuo's body. Streaks of bloody shadows in the surroundings shot onto those objects.
In just a moment, those objects had all landed in Han Shuo's palm. Han Shuo, who had been keeping his eyes closed all this time, suddenly opened his eyes and smiled faintly. Han Shuo's body blurred as he flew in a circle. The colorful banners around him all disappeared into his space ring.
In a flash, Han Shuo appeared beside Bechymos. He took out a sparkling and translucent bracelet and handed it to Bechymos. He said, "With this, it won't be difficult for me to pass through the Stardust Current."
Bechymos was baffled. He reached out to receive the seemingly ordinary trinket and asked doubtfully, "Such a small thing can allow me to pass through the Stardust Current?"
Nodding, Han Shuo confidently said, "Don't worry, it will definitely work! This is called a Soul Ring. It can protect your soul from being corroded by external forces. However, time is limited and you will need to pass through quickly. "
"How can I believe you?" Bechymos did not use the Soul Ring so easily. He gently caressed the Soul Ring with his fingers and sized up Han Shuo with uncertainty.
"It's up to you whether you believe me or not. Hmm, we will go first. You can weigh the pros and cons yourself," Han Shuo said with a faint smile. Soon after, he told Bechymos how to use the Soul Ring.
It wasn't difficult to refine such a small demonic artifact. If Han Shuo wanted to, he could refine it and use it repeatedly. It was just that Han Shuo now considered the Abyss realm as his personal territory and didn't want any gods to easily enter. Since this was the only interplanar transportation matrix and there happened to be a natural barrier in the form of the Stardust Current, Han Shuo would definitely make good use of it.
While Bechymos held the Soul Ring in silence, Han Shuo took out a few more, handed them to Sanguinar, Jasper, Hemanna, and Sylph respectively, and explained in detail how to use the Soul Ring.
"My Lord, we can also leave with you," Bord took a step forward, knelt on one knee in front of Han Shuo, and pleaded.
Han Shuo shook his head smilingly and said, "That won't be necessary for the time being. The two of you are the closest to me. You two will stay in the Abyss realm and help me take care of things. Accept the faith of all the people of the Abyss realm. Don't worry, I might return very soon. At that time, I will bring the two of you along with me to help me eradicate some enemies. "
With the current situation on Profound Continent unclear, Han Shuo wasn't in a hurry to let Bord and Zinia leave with him. Once they arrived at Profound Continent without a hitch, the Abyss realm would be akin to Han Shuo's enormous back garden. By then, he would be able to do whatever he wanted. The most crucial thing right now was to settle everything in the Abyss realm and change the faith of the people.
"Yes, my Lord!" Bord did not say anything else after hearing Han Shuo's explanation.
"The two of you can leave first. Wipe out all the forces in the Abyss realm. The next time I come, I hope that the Abyss realm will no longer have the strength to resist," Han Shuo nodded and instructed.
Bord and Zinia did not say anything else. They respectfully bowed to Han Shuo and silently flew away.
Han Shuo raised his head to look at the starry quicksand in midair. His two avatars, each holding a Soul Ring, suddenly flew out. Just as Han Shuo was about to enter, Han Shuo saw that Bechymos was still hesitating. After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Are you leaving or not?"
Bechymos kept silent. His green eyes flickered as he looked at the starry quicksand.
Han Shuo understood that Bechymos wasn't afraid that Han Shuo would intentionally harm him. Rather, it was because he was too terrified of the might of the starry quicksand and couldn't trust the Soul Ring refined by Han Shuo.
"Master, he's not leaving. Let's leave first." Ever since Sanguinar had followed Han Shuo and experienced a bloody massacre, he had grown bolder and bolder. Now, he was actually not that afraid of the great demon king Bechymos.
Sanguinar's body was indeed extraordinary. His tenacious will was gradually manifesting. In contrast, Jasper and the others who had followed Han Shuo for a longer period of time still had fear on their faces when facing Bechymos.
Jasper, Hemanna, and Sylph carefully held the Soul Ring and raised their heads to look at the starry quicksand. There was still some fear in their eyes.
'Women are indeed women. When faced with such a situation, they are indeed not as courageous as men.' Han Shuo sighed inwardly. After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo instructed Sanguinar, "Use your Soul Ring. I will bring you to the starry quicksand for a spin."
"Yes, Master!" Sanguinar was as bold as the heavens. Despite clearly knowing the terror of the starry quicksand, he immediately agreed.
Under everyone's attentive gazes, Sanguinar bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the Soul Ring. With a flash of blood-red light, the Soul Ring concealed itself within Sanguinar's body with a whoosh. Soon after, a faint halo abruptly flashed from Sanguinar's head.
Han Shuo grabbed Sanguinar and abruptly dropped his body into the starry quicksand. As soon as the two entered, rays of light fiercely shot out from Sanguinar's head. The shining halo on his head seemed to obstruct the erosion of some kind of power.
"I'm fine. Did you see that?" Sanguinar's mouth curved into a mocking smile as he shouted at Bechymos.
Bechymos's green eyes were filled with shock as he exclaimed, "He's actually fine. Unbelievable, unbelievable!"
"What are you waiting for?!" Han Shuo softly shouted. Bechymos no longer doubted Han Shuo's words. Following Han Shuo's instructions, he activated his Soul Ring and abruptly shot it towards the starry quicksand.
Jasper and the other two girls also did not hesitate. Together with Han Shuo's two avatars, they activated their Soul Rings and shot them towards the starry quicksand.
One figure after another shot into the starry quicksand. With Han Shuo's body leading the way, they once again headed towards the Abyss. After traveling for a while, everyone safely passed through the entrance blocked by the starry quicksand. Amidst the exclamations of amazement, they spent some time to return to the Abyss valley where the interplanar transportation matrix was located.
"What's going on? What happened?" Bechymos asked Han Shuo with a look of astonishment on his face as he gazed at the valley where the mist of the boundary seal had completely vanished.
"It's nothing. Perhaps I was swept away by the starry quicksand once and temporarily lost my power." Han Shuo casually explained. He reactivated the interplanar transportation matrix and said to Bechymos, "Tell me the coordinates of your hometown's interplanar transportation matrix."
Bechymos eagerly reported an extremely long string of numbers. Soon after, Bechymos impatiently walked into the matrix. Before the transmission matrix was activated, Bechymos said, "Han Shuo, if you ever come to my hometown, remember to find me using the method I gave you."
"Understood!" Han Shuo waved his hand in a carefree manner. Just as he was about to send Bechymos off, he smiled and asked, "One last question. Are you a man or a woman?"
"What do you think?" Bechymos' green eyes seemed to be smiling. His voice was elegant and pleasing to the ear. He seemed to be in a good mood.
"Just as I expected." Han Shuo smiled faintly and helped Bechymos activate the transportation matrix. Amidst the dazzling radiance, the surrounding space distorted for a moment.
"Let's go too." After refilling the matrix with magic crystal ores, Han Shuo, Jasper and the others stood in front of the interplanar transportation matrix and activated it.
