After Han Shuo borrowed the demonic yuan from his main body, Bonnie and his party were no longer able to catch up to him. The distance between the two parties gradually increased.
Akley was very curious about how Han Shuo escaped from that godhunter and how he rescued him from Bonnie. Therefore, he kept asking Han Shuo about those two matters. Han Shuo lied to him that Dolores had arrived ahead of him and scared away the godhunter that was chasing after him.
As for rescuing him from Bonnie, Han Shuo said that he used a kind of hallucinogen. Akley, who had personally experienced everything, saw the faint mist that suddenly appeared around them. He did not suspect Han Shuo too much.
Akley had a general idea of the location of the divine essence mine. Unfortunately, neither of them were familiar with Elysium and had no idea where they were. Although Akley knew the approximate location of the divine essence mine from the scroll, he was at his wits' end.
"We need to find a populated town and ask about the situation!" Akley asked for Han Shuo's opinion after keeping silent for a moment.
"That's for sure. But before that, we must first erase the imprint on your body. Otherwise, Bonnie and his pursuers might catch up again," Han Shuo nodded in agreement and gave his own opinion.
"Of course. Choose a safe place first and we will carefully examine you," Han Shuo said. Akley had been rescued twice by Han Shuo. In addition to the fact that he had yet to fully recover from his serious injuries, Han Shuo's opinion was the main priority for the time being.
"No problem!" Han Shuo extended his consciousness. With the help of Cauldron Spirit's energy, he was able to detect movements even further away.
Yet another barren mountain was chosen by Han Shuo. Soon enough, Han Shuo and Akley landed on it.
"I'll check it myself!" Akley said softly after sitting down on a dark-green rock. He then closed his eyes and started searching for the imprint on his body.
Akley had just recovered a bit of his strength due to his serious injuries and his mental state was poor. Therefore, Han Shuo was unable to find the imprint on his body.
Seeing that Akley was in a difficult position, Han Shuo moved his consciousness and focused his attention on Akley's body. He probed into every anomaly in Akley's body bit by bit. Akley's consciousness was invisible and formless. In the realm of Omen, it was even more invisible. There was no way that Akley could detect Han Shuo's movements.
After a while, Han Shuo suddenly said, "In your back, inside a piece of bone near your chest! From the looks of it, you were hit on the back, and the mark should have been left at that time! "
"That damned Bonnie. He could've killed me but he didn't. He's waiting for me to exhaust all my strength before capturing me alive. What a great plan indeed!" Akley cursed loudly. He immediately understood Bonnie's plan from Han Shuo's words.
Bonnie was able to hit his back with one strike and leave a mark on his bones near his heart. This meant that Bonnie could completely shatter his heart and kill him! The reason why Bonnie didn't do so was that he didn't want Akley to die. Instead, he wanted to obtain everything in Akley's soul.
It was very easy for a god to obtain what he wanted from the soul of an ordinary person. However, the more powerful a person was, the more complicated their soul would be. An ordinary lowgod might be able to obtain everything from the soul of a demigod, but it was absolutely impossible for him to obtain information from the divine soul of a god of the same level.
Bonnie obviously couldn't obtain what he wanted from Akley's divine soul. Therefore, he didn't dare to kill Akley. All he wanted was to capture Akley alive and bring him back to the Blue Ocean Continent so that someone else could obtain everything in Akley's brain.
"Find that imprint and get rid of it. Otherwise, they will find us again very soon!" Han Shuo urged.
Akley said no more. He followed Han Shuo's instructions and slowly gathered the energy of destruction in his body bit by bit towards his back. When he found the target according to Han Shuo's instructions, he suddenly exerted force. A crisp sound was heard and Akley let out a muffled groan.
"There's no problem now. We can try to get out of here and find someone to ask about our current location and the direction we are heading to!" Han Shuo nodded and said after carefully sensing with his consciousness that the imprint had truly been destroyed by Akley.
"Yes, the divine essence mine is located within the Overgod of Darkness' divine territory. According to the description on the scroll, that location isn't too far from the transportation point I came from. That's why I escaped here!" Akley revealed to Han Shuo.
"Let's go, let's quickly find someone to ask!" Han Shuo grabbed Akley again and continued flying.
"Can you not do this next time? I feel very uncomfortable every time you grab me. I feel like a captive!" Akley rolled his eyes and complained to Han Shuo.
"I will be more careful in the future," Han Shuo casually replied. He obviously did not take Akley's words to heart.
It was only after arriving on Elysium that Han Shuo realized just how vast this material plane was. It took him a long time just to fly out of a valley where an interplanar transportation point was set up. It would be unimaginable on Profound Continent.
According to Donna's description of Elysium to Han Shuo, Elysium was a thousand times larger than Profound Continent. It was the vastest and most mystical material plane in the universe. Han Shuo didn't quite believe it before. It was only after arriving on Elysium that he realized that Donna was telling the truth.
Han Shuo did not discover any traces of animals throughout his journey from the valley. He only saw some bizarre plants. This made Han Shuo very curious. He couldn't figure out what was going on.
When they finally left the valley, they saw a yellow plain with no end in sight.
Han Shuo heard from Dolores that after crossing the yellow plain, they would be able to see a village and ask for the location of the City of Shadows. At present, Han Shuo had no intention of going to the City of Shadows. However, he still had to find the person. Therefore, he once again hurried on his journey with Akley. After spending two days crossing the plain, he immediately sensed the presence of life.
After flying for a while, he hadn't seen any signs of life along the barren road. Now that he suddenly discovered the presence of humans, he hastily increased his speed.
Soon after, a small village similar to those on Profound Continent came into Han Shuo's line of sight. Before entering, Han Shuo used his consciousness to sense the place and discovered that the soul energies of the people in the village varied. They weren't as powerful as Han Shuo had imagined.
"Let's go, we've found a village with people. Don't worry, the strength of the people there isn't too exaggerated. It should be safe!" Han Shuo put Akley down and the two walked towards the village.
Before they even got close to the village, Han Shuo heard the sounds of cheers and laughter. With the help of a mystical demon, Han Shuo discovered that a religious ceremony was being held in the village. Based on Han Shuo's understanding of the Calamity Church, he immediately realized that the people in the village were praying to the three Overgods of the Calamity Church.
Perhaps it was because the elemental energies were the densest on Elysium, the people here were much more powerful than the civilians on Profound Continent. With just a little sensing, Han Shuo discovered that most of the villagers possessed demigod strength. There were also a few who possessed basegod strength. Some of the very young children possessed strength equivalent to swordmasters and archmages on Profound Continent.
"You might not know the details of the situation on Elysium. In the villages here, once a lowgod cultivator reaches lowgod rank, he or she will not stay in a small village. They will definitely move to the big cities and join the big family clans and forces, hoping to advance further and gain more wealth and status.
Those who stay in the villages are mostly mediocre people or children who have yet to truly mature. Under such circumstances, it's only natural that there wouldn't be any experts in the village. Godhunters wouldn't come to a village without a true god. They wouldn't be able to get what they want here! "Akley explained after Han Shuo put him down.
"This is also your first time on Elysium. But why do you seem to know this place so well?" Han Shuo asked puzzledly.
"Although this is my first time on Elysium, my master has been to Elysium a few times before. When he returned, he would tell me in detail about Elysium. That's why I know more than you do!" Akley explained.
"Where's your master? Why isn't he with you at a time like this?" Han Shuo was stunned.
Akley's expression turned somewhat gloomy. He let out a sigh and said, "He's dead. He was severely injured on Elysium. Not long after he returned to Blue Ocean Continent, he was besieged and killed by those people from the House of Bonney. If my master wasn't dead, how would Bonney and those people dare to lay their hands on me?! "
"My apologies!" Han Shuo apologized when he inadvertently brought up Akley's sad memories.
Akley forced a smile and shook his head. He said, "It's alright. The reason I came to Profound Continent this time is not only to obtain the divine essence mine, but also to find out who injured my master. Once I find that person, I will surely avenge my master!"
Han Shuo did not comment on Akley's solemn vow. If even his master was severely injured, what could he possibly do by himself?
"What kind of look is that?!" Akley glared at Han Shuo and angrily said, "That's right, I am indeed very weak right now. But when I find the divine essence mine and obtain enough divine essences that contain the energy of destruction, things will be completely different!"
Han Shuo nodded after hearing Akley's words. He thought to himself, So that's what Akley is planning. It seems that searching for the divine essence mine isn't as simple as getting rich.
"We're here, we're here!" Han Shuo and Akley had already entered the village. Some children who were playing surrounded them and giggled. They asked the two in their childish voices where they came from.
"Somewhere very far away!" Akley replied impatiently.
Han Shuo took out some small trinkets from his space ring and distributed one to each of them smilingly. The children were overjoyed to receive Han Shuo's trinkets. They pulled on the corners of Han Shuo's clothes and jumped up and down.
A few adults in the distance had a very favorable impression of Han Shuo after seeing how he treated the children in such a friendly manner. They greeted Han Shuo from afar and gestured for Han Shuo to come over.
"We have a favor to ask of you. Don't put on that sour face all the time. Relax!" Han Shuo lectured Akley as they walked. However, it seemed that Akley wasn't listening at all.
