Han Shuo was unperturbed and did not comment on Li Wei's evaluation. He merely continued to observe Eriksson and his party.
After receiving Han Shuo's instructions, Donna and the others all aimed their attacks at Eriksson. In an instant, rays of light interweaved and divine energy surged towards Eriksson.
Just as Han Shuo said, Olde chose to ignore Eriksson. He continued to look all around to observe the changes in the demonic formation, making a futile effort.
Kaiser heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he was no longer under attack. He seized the time to recover his divine energy and paid no attention to Eriksson's impending death.
Everyone had a selfish side to them. It was even more impossible to share weal and woe with one another in a relationship that was intertwined with benefits.
The attacks that were supposed to be shared by Olde and Kaiser were suddenly concentrated on Eriksson alone. The pressure he had to bear immediately multiplied. Eriksson had long been exhausted by this point in time. His divine energy had been greatly depleted. He was like a candle in the wind, on the verge of collapsing under the onslaught of attacks. The light of his life could be extinguished at any moment.
"Keep it up! Eriksson is on the verge of collapse!" Bolten laughed excitedly. He felt an indescribable sense of pride when he saw that Eriksson, a midgod, was about to be bombarded to death by them.
"Lord Olde, Lord Olde, please help us!" Kaiser, who was still recovering his divine energy, hastily asked Olde for help when he saw that Eriksson was on the verge of collapse.
As though he did not hear Kaiser's cry for help, Olde continued to scan the surroundings with his brows bunched. He did not take Kaiser's words to heart.
The Druidic Order and the Shrine of Ice had always been estranged from each other on Profound Continent. This had obviously affected the relationship between the leaders of both parties. Olde was by no means a magnanimous person who would disregard past enmities and shield his enemies from the wind and rain.
Kaiser could not help but smile wryly in his heart when he saw that Olde was unmoved. He knew that he couldn't count on Olde. Kaiser sensed that the amount of divine energy in his body had been depleted, then looked around at the seemingly endless barrage of attacks coming from unknown sources. After weighing the pros and cons, he felt uncertain.
Kaiser looked on helplessly as Eriksson suffered all sorts of attacks. He pretended to have exhausted a great deal of his divine energy and panted to recover his strength. However, he had no intention of helping Eriksson.
"You guys stay here and deal with them. I'll go out and check out the situation. Staying here isn't a long-term solution. I'll see if I can find a way to go deeper!" Han Shuo suddenly said.
Donna was taken aback. She looked at Han Shuo in astonishment and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you afraid that Olde will discover you and kill you instantly if you go out at this time?"
"It's fine. I know what I'm doing!" Han Shuo spoke confidently, and then he thought for a moment before instructing Donna, "Be careful. It's best not to rashly leave this place before I return. As long as you stay here, I can guarantee your safety. There won't be any problems up there. If you walk out of here, I can't guarantee anything! "
Donna was stunned speechless. It took her a while before she nodded solemnly.
"Brian, where are you going?" Li Wei asked softly. Soon after, she volunteered, "Why don't I go with you? I can help you! "
"You can't help me!" Han Shuo immediately refused. When Li Wei was greatly disappointed, Han Shuo added, "But if you can get rid of Eriksson and the others, it will be considered as helping me."
Upon finishing those words, Han Shuo did not linger any longer. He nodded at Donna and Bolten before his figure blurred and he walked out of the stone forest.
While Donna and the others were attacking Eriksson with all their might, Han Shuo unfolded his consciousness and covered the area from afar, secretly prying into the secrets of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester. As his consciousness gradually extended, Han Shuo sensed an inexplicable calling from the center of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester.
It was as though there was something at the center of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester that was softly calling over and over again, waiting for his arrival.
The feeling was extremely mysterious. At first, Han Shuo thought that it was an illusion. But when Han Shuo held his breath and tried to sense it carefully, he discovered that the calling was directed at his consciousness, attracting all of his attention.
At this moment, Han Shuo was certain that the one who deployed the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester was a demonic senior with profound magical powers. Han Shuo had no idea how this terrifying senior came to Profound Continent. The only thing he could be sure of was that the senior had deployed everything here to target experts from alien material planes who did not know demonic arts.
As for Han Shuo, as a demonic arts cultivator, he would not be affected by the demonic formations here. This also meant that the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester, which Donna, Olde, and the others faced with every step of danger, would be unimpeded by the demonic formations here.
With that in mind, what else did Han Shuo have to worry about?
Donna, Li Wei, Bolten, and the others could be counted as Han Shuo's allies. However, at a time like this, as a demonic arts cultivator, Han Shuo would not be willing to let anyone know his secrets. He wanted to keep everything here to himself. With that in mind, Han Shuo cast aside Donna and the others and had them stay in the stone forest to keep Olde, Eriksson, and the others busy while he explored the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester on his own.
As soon as Han Shuo walked out from the stone forest, Olde, who had been observing the changes in his surroundings, discovered Han Shuo's presence. As a cultivator of the edict of life, Olde had an extraordinary ability to sense living beings. As Han Shuo cultivated in demonic arts and had formed his consciousness, his life signature was vastly different from that of an ordinary person. Therefore, Olde immediately discovered Han Shuo as soon as he walked out from the stone forest.
"Hey kid, where were you just now?" Olde suddenly felt relieved when he saw Han Shuo reappear. He grabbed Kelly and hastily flew in the direction of Han Shuo.
Han Shuo wasn't surprised that Olde could discover him. He calmly and unhurriedly walked towards the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester without the slightest change in his expression.
Under Olde's watchful eyes, not only did Han Shuo's figure grow further and further away, even his life signature seemed to be concealed by an invisible boundary and gradually disappeared from Olde's sight and soul perception.
Olde was extremely shocked. He was confident that his speed was much faster than the speed at which Han Shuo left. However, not only was he unable to catch up to Han Shuo, but Han Shuo was also rapidly vanishing. Olde could not understand this strange feeling no matter how hard he thought about it. He felt very aggrieved.
Naturally, Olde did not know that when Han Shuo left, a demonic formation called So Close, Yet Worlds Apart activated. The demonic formation forcibly altered the laws of space, causing the distance between him and Han Shuo to suddenly increase. Olde, who did not understand the wonders of demonic formations, pursued Han Shuo with all his might, but the distance between him and Han Shuo only grew further and further.
Donna and the others in the stone forest in the blind spot of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester were stunned. From their point of view, they saw a strange phenomenon — Han Shuo was unhurriedly walking toward the depths of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester while Olde chased after him at lightning speed. Olde was clearly using all his strength to chase after Han Shuo, but the distance between the two was infinitely increasing. It looked like Olde was rapidly retreating as he chased after Han Shuo. The scene was extremely strange.
"The laws of space here seem to have been forcefully distorted. This is, this is too strange. Who is the person who arranged everything here? Why does he seem to know everything?! "Donna mumbled to herself with a horrified face.
"Brian won't be in trouble, right?" Li Wei asked in a panic. She watched as Han Shuo walked step by step toward the depths of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester without turning back. She had a feeling that something was amiss but she could not put her finger on it.
"Why, why do I feel that Brian is so harmonious with the environment here? It's as though he's at home here. He's not the least bit flustered and seems to be calm and unruffled. "Bolten thought hard for a moment and subconsciously expressed his thoughts.
Upon hearing his words, Li Wei cried out in surprise and exclaimed, "That's right, that's the feeling! I also feel that Brian's behavior here is as though he's at home. That familiarity with this place, that's the feeling! "
Donna was stunned by Bolten's and Li Wei's words. She pondered for a moment and the doubts in her heart grew stronger.
"Don't worry about Brian. Let's get rid of Eriksson first!" Donna shouted at Bolten and Li Wei in annoyance after thinking for a moment but could not figure it out.
The few of them no longer wasted their breath. They stared at the dying Eriksson and continued to bombard him indiscriminately.

On the other side, Han Shuo was walking step by step toward the depths of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester. His footsteps were slow as he attentively observed everything he saw along the way.
Han Shuo became more and more amazed by the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester as he ventured deeper into the formation. The summoning of his consciousness from the depths of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester became more frequent.
All he saw along the way were bizarrely shaped demonic formations. Han Shuo recognized almost all of them and many of them were beyond his knowledge. Naturally, these terrifyingly powerful demonic formations had no intention of attacking Han Shuo and allowed him to enter unimpeded.
However, at the center of these bizarre demonic formations, Han Shuo discovered a dozen or so skeletons. Some of these skeletons belonged to humans while others belonged to larger magical beasts. Han Shuo also discovered two skeletons that belonged to the Soul Race.
From these traces, Han Shuo surmised that a great battle had taken place in this place five thousand years ago. The original owner of the skeletal staff, the predecessors of the Soul Race, the gods of the Church of Light, and the ancestors of Olde who cultivated in the edict of life participated in that battle.
In the end, the ancestors of the Druidic Order who cultivated in the edict of life and the gods of the Church of Light emerged victorious. But what was certain was that they must have lost many gods to the demonic formations in this place.
Through Han Shuo's deep understanding of this gigantic Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester and through Han Shuo's general understanding of the many demonic formations in this place, Han Shuo surmised that although each and every one of them wanted to explore the secrets of this place, none of them would be able to make it to the center of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester alive.
Because the demonic formations in this place were too numerous and too terrifying!
The summoning from the center of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester grew clearer and clearer. That intense summoning directly filled Han Shuo's consciousness, carrying with it an evil and bewitching power that incessantly tempted Han Shuo to go deeper.
The summoning's influence on Han Shuo grew stronger and stronger. It was so strong that Han Shuo could not calm his mind and continue to observe his surroundings.
Finally, Han Shuo gave up on observing his surroundings in detail. Following the guidance of his consciousness, he quickly moved towards the center of the summoning.
Soon, Han Shuo arrived at the location of the summoning – the eye of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester.
The eye of the array was covered with complicated runes, engraved with many ghostly images that Han Shuo could not understand. There were curving tadpole-like lines that resembled the ancient oracle bone inscriptions of Han Shuo's world. They appeared very mysterious and abstruse, making Han Shuo unable to understand their meaning.
The summoning to Han Shuo's consciousness came from under the eye of the array, but he did not know what it was.
Han Shuo understood that for such a terrifyingly enormous Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester, apart from the mysterious patterns and runes, it also required a treasure that could support everything in the formation. Han Shuo had never heard of such an enormous demonic formation. Based on his understanding of demonic formations, the treasure that maintained everything in the formation must be far more precious than he could imagine.
Han Shuo was about to walk towards the eye of the array when a crack the size of a well suddenly appeared in the eye of the array. A dozen or so mystical demons that had disappeared for a long time whizzed out.
Han Shuo was greatly shocked. Not only did he not rush in, but he also rapidly retreated a few steps.
Han Shuo guessed that those dozen or so mystical demons were the ones he had seen earlier. They were the souls of the corpses that had died in the surrounding demonic formations. These souls were at the Divine Realm. Inside such a mysterious Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester, they were extremely terrifying after they had transformed into mystical demons.
Han Shuo had previously witnessed the terror of these mystical demons. Most importantly, these mystical demons were not like the demonic formations here. He was not immune to them. Han Shuo believed that he would not be able to withstand a dozen or so terrifying mystical demons coming out at him at the same time. He even had thoughts of retreating immediately.
Contrary to Han Shuo's expectations, when he retreated, the dozen or so mystical demons did not whizz over. Instead, they circled around the hole the size of a well.
Seeing that the dozen or so mystical demons did not pounce over, Han Shuo was greatly reassured. He carefully observed from afar, and only cautiously approached the hole when he realized that the dozen or so mystical demons did not seem to have any intention of pouncing over regardless of the consequences.
All of a sudden, the summoning to his consciousness from the hole changed slightly, as though an order had been issued. The dozen or so mystical demons that were circling around the hole flew far away, whizzing over his head as they opened up a path, waiting for Han Shuo to come over.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Shuo creased his brows and walked towards the hole apprehensively, not knowing what he was about to face.
Before Han Shuo could poke his head out to see what was going on, a force was suddenly released from the hole. It instantly entangled Han Shuo's body and sucked Han Shuo inside.
