Each of Han Shuo's party possessed astonishing strength. It took them only half a day to fly from the Boundless Sea to the Dark Forest.
Along the way, Bolten, Li Wei, and the others exchanged their opinions in whispers about how Han Shuo had escaped from a midgod. They all believed that Han Shuo was bragging and couldn't help but look at Han Shuo with disdain. Donna, on the other hand, seemed to be very interested in Han Shuo. She was in high spirits as she discussed the situation on Profound Continent with Han Shuo.
Han Shuo, at his current realm of demonic arts, would not deliberately lower himself to curry favor with Donna just because she possessed superior strength and distinguished status. He had been neither overbearing nor servile, and his demeanor was relaxed and natural. Donna nodded to herself when she saw that.
Han Shuo observed for a moment and discovered that because of his and Donna's cheerful conversation, that taciturn Bowen was looking at him with gazes that contained traces of hostility.
By now, Han Shuo had more or less figured out the relationship between the five. Of the two brothers, Bolten and Bowen, Bolten seemed to have a favorable impression of Li Wei. As for that taciturn Bowen, although he didn't say a word, his gaze when he looked at Donna was filled with respect. This surprised Han Shuo a little.
Han Shuo keenly sensed the faint hostility in Bowen's eyes but didn't take it to heart.
After arriving at the Dark Forest, Han Shuo suddenly sensed the presence of dark dragon Gilbert. With one thought, he discovered that Gilbert had stopped at the original location of the Cemetery of Death and had been pacing back and forth.
"Wait a moment, I have some small matters to attend to." Han Shuo apologetically informed Donna before he suddenly turned into a streak of dark light and flew towards Gilbert's location.
Gilbert's heart was full of doubts. He wandered around the vicinity a few times, but he couldn't feel the existence of the barrier at all. In addition, this place was a mess and full of desolation. Gilbert thought that he had found the wrong place and started to search further away.
Gilbert could more or less guess what had happened here. However, just like Fanny and the other two, Gilbert had a blind trust in Han Shuo. He had never imagined that the enemy Han Shuo was facing this time would be so powerful that Han Shuo had no choice but to temporarily retreat and move the Cemetery of Death to another place.
Just as Gilbert was mumbling to himself, he suddenly sensed Han Shuo's arrival. He calmed down and hurriedly looked up at the sky.
Han Shuo landed beside Gilbert and asked with a smile, "What happened? Did you come out from the underground world?"
"Great Master, why can't I feel the boundary around the Cemetery of Death? What's going on? "Gilbert shouted loudly when he saw Han Shuo.
"The Cemetery of Death is no longer here. I moved it away to prevent others from finding it." Han Shuo quickly explained. Soon after, he said to Gilbert, "I don't have the time to tell you the specifics. You just came out from the underground world. Do you know the secret that your dark dragons are guarding? If you do, just tell me. I won't ask your grandfather."
Seeing that Han Shuo was a little impatient, Gilbert didn't even think before he told Han Shuo the information his grandfather had told him. He then asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious? "
"I'll explain it to you later. Hmm, go to the Valley of Sunshine for a while, or go to Brettel City. When I'm done with my business, I'll contact you," Han Shuo instructed.
"Did you run into some trouble? Master, I can help you! "Gilbert wasn't startled, but rather delighted as he said excitedly.
"This matter is too big. You can't help me! You won't be able to participate in a battle between divine realm experts for the time being! "Han Shuo told the truth.
The excited Gilbert was startled by Han Shuo's words and immediately calmed down. Seeing that Han Shuo was in a hurry, Gilbert didn't ask any more questions. He said, "Be careful." Under Han Shuo's watchful eyes, he left the place and flew towards the Valley of Sunshine.
After Han Shuo left, Bolten knitted his brows and asked Donna in a deep voice, "Big sister Donna, do you believe what that kid said?"
Li Wei and Bowen also put on attentive expressions when they saw that Bolten was asking Donna for confirmation.
"His words are a little unbelievable. But I don't know why, but I'm willing to believe him!" Donna answered smilingly after thinking for a moment.
"Big sister Donna, you can't be serious, right? That fella was obviously bragging. How could you believe him? I can see that his strength isn't much but he's bold enough to boast. I really don't understand how a minor god from a low-level material plane can be so impudent! "Li Wei said indignantly. Bolten immediately agreed. The taciturn Bowen also nodded lightly.
Donna smiled inwardly when she saw Li Wei's indignant look. She said in amusement, "Shouldn't he be humbling himself and fawning? That's how you think a god from a low-level material plane should behave?"
"That's how it should be. Aren't the local experts all like that when we go to other low-level material planes?" Li Wei said matter-of-factly and didn't find anything wrong with it.
Donna shook her head smilingly and said, "People like that all have ulterior motives towards you. They either need you to promote them or want to attach themselves to your family. Even if they are gods, they are destined to be mediocre in the future!"
"That fella is mediocre?" Bolten said disdainfully.
"I don't know. But in my opinion, he's stronger than those people!" Donna thought for a moment. She looked at the three youngsters and said, "This young man named Brian has many things that you need to learn from him. Moreover, he seems a little strange as though he's hiding some secrets."
The three youngsters had odd expressions on their faces after hearing Donna's words. It appeared that they didn't take Donna's words seriously. Because Donna said that Han Shuo had many things that they needed to learn from him. This instead aroused their arrogance. They thought, What right does a powerless and insignificant character from a low-level material plane have for them to learn from him?
Donna took in the expressions of the three youngsters. She sighed inwardly but did not say anything.
These youngsters came from powerful families. They had been pampered since childhood and nurtured with great care by their families. Despite their young age, they already possessed astonishing strength. Back in their original continent, they were protected by their family elders. Each and every one of them was proud and arrogant. It was understandable that they would look down on others after coming to this low-level material plane.
Before coming here, their family elders had already informed her, so it wasn't appropriate for Donna to say anything.
Han Shuo left quickly and returned just as quickly. He flew to the side of Donna and the others. Without wasting any time, he said, "Follow me."
Their speed was extremely fast. The few figures were like lightning bolts in the void. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance to the underground world. With Han Shuo leading the way, they proceeded smoothly to the second layer of the underground world.
"Right, who is guarding the entrance to that place?" Donna suddenly asked.
"The dark dragons on this continent. But we don't need to go there. I already know the entrance," Han Shuo replied.
"Other than you, only the dark dragons know, right?" Donna asked after thinking for a moment.
Nodding, Han Shuo said, "That should be the case."
"Oh, just in case, you'd better tell the dark dragons to go as far away as possible. Otherwise, the enemy will find the entrance to that place based on the dark dragons," Donna said to Han Shuo after a moment of silence.
"Elder sister Donna, I think the best way is to exterminate the dark dragons," Bolten disagreed and suddenly suggested.
Han Shuo was immediately enraged by his words. He snorted lightly, "The dark dragons have already paid a great price to protect this secret. Is this how you treat those who work for you?"
Donna also knitted her brows. She glared at Bolten with some displeasure and berated, "Brian is right. Not only can we not do that, we must also protect them. Otherwise, who would dare to work for us in the future?"
Bolten could disregard Han Shuo, but he dared not neglect Donna. Hearing her words, he awkwardly smiled and said, "Elder sister Donna, don't be angry. I'm just saying."
Donna nodded. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly said, "Brian, it's better if you notify the dark dragons, lest they find us and completely wipe out the dark dragons!"
Alarmed, Han Shuo suddenly had an ominous premonition. Thinking from another perspective, Han Shuo felt that if he were the party from the Shrine of Ice, if they couldn't find him, they would definitely find a way to find out the path leading to the depths of the underground world, and then silence them so that they couldn't enter.
With this in mind, Han Shuo headed towards the dark dragons' region with some urgency. Donna and the others needed Han Shuo to lead the way, so they naturally followed along.
By the time Han Shuo arrived at the dark dragons' region, all he saw were corpses strewn all over the ground. Gilges, the patriarch of the dark dragons, had his enormous dragon eyes still wide open, dying with everlasting regret!
"It seems that we're a step too late!" Donna's heart tightened as she said in a deep voice.
With a stupefied expression, Han Shuo walked up to Gilges, the patriarch of the dark dragons. Seeing him dying with everlasting regret, Han Shuo's heart surged with monstrous fury. He reached out to cover Gilges' eyes, and with a jolt of consciousness, through Gilges' soul that had yet to completely dissipate, Han Shuo obtained some of Gilges' last memories through the demonic art of soul assimilation.
A drop of blood sprayed out from his middle finger. Using the last wisp of Gilges' soul as a primer, Han Shuo replayed the bloody scene that happened not too long ago in midair like a movie.
When Donna saw Han Shuo's cold and murderous expression, she knew that he was extremely furious. She was about to say a few words of comfort to Han Shuo, but when she suddenly saw the scene reflected in midair, she immediately covered her mouth and cried out in surprise. She looked at Han Shuo in disbelief.
Not only Donna, Li Wei, Bolten and Bowen, including that lifeless Colbert, were all stupefied!
"That's Kaiser and Eriksson! How, how did you do it? "Li Wei shrieked after watching the scene in a daze. She had an incredulous look on her face.
He raised his hand and formed a hand seal. That drop of blood essence condensed in midair and returned to Han Shuo's body. At this moment, the last wisp of Gilges' soul that had yet to dissipate completely dissipated between heaven and earth, leaving not a trace behind.
'Old dark dragon, I will avenge you!' Han Shuo thought to himself.
Through those scenes, Han Shuo came to know about the tragedy that happened here. He also saw the old dark dragon's final cries filled with endless hatred. Unfortunately, the old dark dragon's soul had been squeezed too much before his death. Han Shuo had arrived too late and had no way to reassemble the old dark dragon's soul.
"I believe that all of you have seen the situation," Han Shuo said in a deep voice while suppressing the indignation in his heart.
Perhaps it was because Han Shuo's performance was simply too astonishing, even the two arrogant youngsters, Bolten and Bowen, did not find fault with him. They wore extremely strange expressions and their eyes were filled with puzzlement.
"Colbert, do we have such a method to reproduce images of souls in our advanced techniques of the energy of death?" Li Wei stared blankly at Han Shuo and asked Colbert who was standing behind her.
Colbert looked at Han Shuo in astonishment. He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before replying solemnly, "Reporting to Miss, we can obtain some consciousness from the souls of the deceased. However, it is generally not easy to master the technique unless one is a highgod. Even a highgod who has mastered the technique cannot reproduce the images so clearly!"
The gods from high level material planes turned pale with fright upon hearing those words.
"Brian, forgive me for being blunt, but what you used just now didn't seem to be the elemental energy of death. Moreover, I have never heard of such a miraculous technique in all the material planes I have traveled. What exactly is going on? "Donna was puzzled. She found Han Shuo to be shrouded in mysteries.
"Low-level material planes have low-level techniques. The energy I used does not belong to the twelve mainstream energies. It is very, very unorthodox. It is normal that you don't know about it," replied Han Shuo with a straight face. He wasn't in a good mood.
"Can you tell us about it?" Li Wei was greatly interested. Her eyes shone brightly as she stared fixedly at Han Shuo.
"I'm sorry," Han Shuo coldly refused. He did not give any leeway.
"Li Wei, everyone has their own cultivation method. Your question is too rude!" Donna rebuked Li Wei. Then, she suddenly giggled and said, "I'm getting more and more curious about you!" After shooting a meaningful glance at the Bowen and Bolton brothers, Donna continued, "I think you can believe Brian's words. There are always exceptions to everything!"
After witnessing Han Shuo's miraculous abilities, the Bowen and Bolton brothers were extremely astonished. However, they were still skeptical of Han Shuo's words. They softly snorted and did not reply.
"Let's go. I think those people are already making their move," said Han Shuo coldly. He was in a bad mood.
"Brian, this is very common. Just remember this grudge. But when you see Eriksson and Kaiser, you must not be impulsive!" After a short pause, Donna let out a sigh and continued, "Forgive me for being blunt, but even if you are somewhat miraculous, you are still far from being their match!"
Han Shuo knew that Donna was speaking the truth. He nodded with great difficulty and said in a deep voice, "I know what I'm doing!" After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo sincerely said to Donna, "Thank you!"
He could sense that Donna's words were sincere!
