On a desolate island in the Boundless Sea …
Han Shuo was sitting cross-legged on a barren mountain like a boulder. The ground around him was densely covered with ravines and bottomless pits. Several enormous stone pillars were suspended in midair and constantly rotating.
Han Shuo's eyes were closed and he did not make the slightest sound. However, rumbling noises could be heard coming from all around him.
After a long while, Han Shuo suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were deep and profound, as though they contained the entire night sky.
The moment he opened his eyes, the rumbling noises around him came to an abrupt halt. The few enormous stone pillars suspended in midair also strangely stopped rotating.
A large net flew down from the stone pillars and gracefully landed on Han Shuo's palm.
The Poison Dragon Cloud Net was made from the tendons of the giant dragons he killed in the Dragon Valley, the most poisonous miasma in the Southern Border, silk from the depths of the Boundless Sea, and nine other rare materials.
Once the Poison Dragon Cloud Net was deployed, poisonous miasma would flow out from the dragon tendons and form a poisonous cloud. The miasma contained within the poisonous cloud was just like the miasma in the Pentacloud Miasma. It was with great difficulty that Han Shuo managed to collect the miasma under Cauldron Spirit's guidance.
Once someone was trapped by the Poison Dragon Cloud Net, the poisonous miasma would begin to take effect. The huge net refined by Han Shuo using dragon tendons as its foundation was extremely tenacious. Without divine weapons or strength that far exceeded Han Shuo's, it would be impossible for one to break free from the huge net and one would be continuously corroded by the poisonous miasma.
It had been half a year since Donna and the others left Profound Continent. During this time, Han Shuo had been stabilizing his current Omen realm while communicating with Cauldron Spirit. He had refined a few demonic weapons using some of the precious materials he had.
The Poison Dragon Cloud Net was just one of them!
Other than the Poison Dragon Cloud Net, Han Shuo also refined the Green Phosphorous Gravel and the Banner of Hallucination. The Green Phosphorous Sand was made by gathering the phosphorescence from thousands of corpses and mixing it with rare blood. If the Green Phosphorous Sand came into contact with it, the fire poison would immediately attack the heart. It was very difficult to extinguish it. The Banner of Hallucination was imprinted with an intricate illusory formation with the help of the Cauldron Spirit's guidance. Anyone who did not understand the intricacies of the illusory formation would be trapped within the Banner of Hallucination.
The three demonic weapons took Han Shuo a great deal of materials and more than three months. He also borrowed Cauldron Spirit's energy to successfully refine them.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Han Shuo had refined three types of Demonic Artifacts. Like his avatar of death, Han Shuo's avatar of destruction had also reached the mid-stage lowgod realm.
Han Shuo's avatar of destruction had access to the power of faith from the Abyss realm. On top of that, this avatar of his had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of orcs and harvested the energy of destruction. Its divine energy wasn't weak. The reason why Han Shuo's avatar of destruction was that it had too many impurities.
Han Shuo had the Cauldron Spirit purify the impurities in this avatar of his. Later on, when he spied on Bolten and the others recovering their divine energy, he grasped some of the usage of the edict of destruction. In addition, when he observed the destruction of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester, he finally made a breakthrough.
The only thing that made Han Shuo rather depressed was that he had yet to truly comprehend the Omen realm. According to the Cauldron Spirit, demonic arts cultivators grew through fighting and killing. It was not easy to make any progress through cultivation alone. Besides, half a year's time was but a snap of the fingers for demonic arts cultivators. Han Shuo had expected that Han Shuo wouldn't be able to make any progress in half a year.
During this time, through the eyes and ears of the Calamity Church, Han Shuo learned that Profound Continent had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Those from the Church of Light and the Shrine of Ice had suddenly become well-behaved. They withdrew from the stage of power struggles on Profound Continent, hiding in remote and quiet places.
Without the support of the Church of Light and the Shrine of Ice, the two most powerful empires on the continent, Oden Empire and Kasi Empire, in the face of the onslaught of Lancelot Empire, Angela Empire, as well as the Barton Merchant Alliance, could only retreat step by step. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated and surrendered.
The situation on the continent was progressing according to Han Shuo's ideal state. That plump Pope of the Calamity Church had also recognized the situation. He wholeheartedly pledged allegiance to Han Shuo and helped Han Shuo perfect everything on this continent. He was very gratified.
Han Shuo's women might have long gotten used to his mysterious disappearances. This time, with Han Shuo's assurance and knowing his purpose, although they missed him very much, their emotions were relatively stable.
Seeing that the situation on Profound Continent was on the right track, Han Shuo could finally put his mind at ease. After refining the three demonic artifacts, Han Shuo headed deeper into the Boundless Sea.
Following the Cauldron Spirit's directions, Han Shuo passed through an area where sharks constantly roamed. He passed through whirlpools and arrived at the place of extreme water where the yuan energy of water was incomparably dense.
According to the Cauldron Spirit, in order to deploy the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester and make it work to the fullest, Gu Tianxie the Exalted Demonlord had altered the laws of heaven and earth on Profound Continent and created five of the largest places of extreme water based on their unique topography.
The five places of extreme water surrounded the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester located in the deepest part of the underground world. The purpose of their existence was to allow the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester to gather mystical yin aura at a faster rate.
Under Han Shuo's terrifying energy, the five places of extreme water gathered the yuan energy of the five elements on Profound Continent at an astonishing rate, forming five types of ultimate treasures. Among them, the Fire Lotus in the place of extreme fire, the Golden Cudgel in the place of extreme metal, the Earthsoul Pearl in the place of extreme earth, and the Viride Leaf in the place of extreme wood were all obtained by Han Shuo.
Only the Aquarius Jade in the place of extreme water was not yet in Han Shuo's grasp.
The Penta-elemental Undead Formation. Only when the Five Elite Zombies possessed the ultimate treasures of their respective elements could they maximize the power of the formation. As for the last place of extreme water, only the Cauldron Spirit knew its exact location. Under its guidance, Han Shuo easily arrived at the place.
The Cauldron Spirit knew that Han Shuo had refined the Five Elite Zombies, and after witnessing the power of the Five Elite Zombies, it was very appreciative of Han Shuo's sudden idea. Of the Five Elite Zombies, except for metal elite zombie, the other four had absorbed the energy of a god and obtained their divine souls. From what Han Shuo could tell, those four who had absorbed the energy of a god were on the verge of becoming a god on their own. It was highly possible that they could break through and become a god at any time.
The Cauldron Spirit was very amazed to see Han Shuo attempt to fuse the energies of two universes with the Five Elite Zombies. Han Shuo was very curious as to how far the Five Elite Zombies refined with demonic arts could develop after absorbing the energy of a god and becoming a god.
"This is the place of extreme water where the Aquarius Jade is being nurtured. The Exalted Demonlord did not expect that the wait would be so long. I'm sure the Exalted Demonlord also did not expect that the Five Elemental Treasures would be nurtured in such a long time!" the Cauldron Spirit lamented after bringing Han Shuo to this place.
Han Shuo surveyed his surroundings and discovered that he seemed to be in a palace of sparkling, translucent jade. All he could see were droplets of water spinning around. These water droplets didn't mix with the seawater here and were rolling around irregularly.
Han Shuo could sense extremely intense yuan energy of water from those water droplets. Further away, there were many whirlpools that formed layers upon layers of barriers, as though completely sealing off this place. If not for the Cauldron Spirit's guidance, Han Shuo would not have been able to find the place of extreme water in the depths of the Boundless Sea.
"Where is the Aquarius Jade?" Han Shuo looked all around in amazement and asked the Cauldron Spirit in astonishment. He could not sense the presence of the Aquarius Jade at all.
"It is in one of those spinning water droplets. You do not cultivate in the energy of water so you will not be able to sense its location!" the Cauldron Spirit replied.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before he nodded and summoned water elite zombie.
"Father, what, what is this place? It's wonderful and comfortable! "water elite zombie cried out in surprise as soon as he appeared.
"There is something here that is of utmost importance to you. Try and find it! Hehe, the others have you but you don't. You must make good use of this opportunity! "Han Shuo said smilingly.
"It might be impossible for you to find the Aquarius Jade, but it will be a piece of cake for him!" the Cauldron Spirit suddenly said.
That was indeed the case. Han Shuo had thought that water elite zombie would need to expend some effort. Little did he know that as soon as water elite zombie appeared in the netherworld, all the water droplets that were spinning around suddenly stopped moving. Only one water droplet was still spinning at high speed, rolling straight towards water elite zombie.
"Wonderful! Thank you, father! Thank you, father!" Water elite zombie was overjoyed. He remained motionless on the spot while that water droplet shot towards water elite zombie. Under Han Shuo's attentive gaze, the water droplet disappeared into his body.
After the Aquarius Jade flew into water elite zombie's body, water elite zombie, like an enormous whirlpool, produced an intense suction force. All the motionless water droplets containing rich yuan energy in the surroundings suddenly started rolling and were sucked into water elite zombie's body at lightning speed.
"He has collected the Aquarius Jade. With the energy of the Aquarius Jade, he can also collect the Aquarius Pearls that contain the most yuan energy of water," the Cauldron Spirit explained to Han Shuo.
"Thank you, father! What a wonderful and pure energy!" water elite zombie cheered.
After waiting for a while, when there were no longer any Aquarius Pearls, the whirlpool on water elite zombie's body finally disappeared.
At this point, all the treasures of the five elements on Profound Continent had fallen into Han Shuo's hands. Every elite zombie of the five elements had their own personal weapons, laying the foundation for the mighty Penta-elemental Undead Formation in the future.
"Go back and have a good feel of your new weapon!" Han Shuo transmitted to water elite zombie smilingly. Soon after, he sent him to the Netherworld.
"Let's go. The Aquarius Jade has been collected and all that needs to be done on Profound Continent has been settled. It's time to leave!" Han Shuo thought to himself.
Without stopping at the place of extreme water, Han Shuo flew straight to the gourd-shaped island and entered the Cemetery of Death. Han Shuo inserted a sufficient amount of magical crystals into the enormous interplanar transportation matrix, stood on it, and activated the interplanar transportation matrix according to the coordinates left behind by Donna and the others.
Elysium, here I come! Han Shuo cheered wildly in his mind!
