Han Shuo hastily left the Lavers Residence and went to another street block. He spent five purple crystal coins to rent a gymnasium. The gymnasium was only five hundred square meters in size and was defended by two boundary towers.
After closing the gymnasium, Han Shuo's two avatars flew out from the Cauldron of Myriad Demon. The avatar that cultivated in the energy of death continued to absorb the divine essences of death he obtained, while the avatar that cultivated in the energy of destruction condensed the Orbs of Destruction and slowly explored how to use the Orbs of Destruction and his Domain of Divinity inside the boundary.
Back in Fort Verka, Han Shuo had paid close attention to the Orbs of Destruction released by Brovst's dark golden sphere. Using his consciousness, Han Shuo tried his best to memorize the trajectories of the Orbs of Destruction as they revolved around the boundary of the gymnasium.
Now that Han Shuo was experimenting with the usage of the Orbs of Destruction again and again, he was no longer fumbling around. By relying on the powerful memory of his consciousness, Han Shuo guided the Orbs of Destruction around his Domain of Divinity according to the trajectories of the Orbs of Destruction.
Han Shuo, who had calmed his mind, sat in the gymnasium, oblivious to the passage of time. He experimented with the flight trajectories of the Orbs of Destruction over and over again. Gradually, Han Shuo discovered that the Orbs of Destruction became more and more agile as he tried to operate them according to the memory of his consciousness. The trajectories of the Orbs of Destruction also seemed to coincide with the essence of the edict of destruction.
Han Shuo's avatar of death and avatar of death were not idling around either. Unknowingly, all the divine essences of death that metal elite zombie and earth elite zombie found had been sucked clean by Han Shuo's avatar of death. As Han Shuo's avatar of death had previously absorbed the divine soul of a pure midgod without any self-awareness, his comprehension of the energy of death would increase as his energy improved.
After absorbing all the divine essences, Han Shuo faintly sensed that the divine energy in his body was on the verge of a breakthrough. This meant that as long as he had sufficient divine energy, Han Shuo's avatar of death could very possibly break through to midgod realm within a short period of time.
There was an enormous barrier between lowgods and midgods. Once Han Shuo stepped into the realm of lowgods, it would mean that his status on Elysium would rise to a higher level. For example, in the City of Shadows, there were countless lowgods like Han Shuo. However, the number of midgods was drastically reduced. Almost every midgod would receive invitations from various family clans and would gain some status in the City.
Han Shuo's main body was not idling around either. While his two avatars were constantly cultivating and improving themselves, Han Shuo's main body had been discussing demonic arts techniques with Cauldron Spirit. He had started cultivating the 'Invincible Omen Body' that could only be mastered by those in the Omen Realm. The 'Invincible Omen Body' was a secret technique that could strengthen one's physical defenses to the greatest extent.
According to the demonic consciousness left behind by Gu Tianxie the Exalted Demonlord, the 'Invincible Omen Body' could instantly fill every cell and bone in one's body with demonic yuan. It would strengthen one's physical defenses by a hundredfold and form a defensive barrier inside one's body. Once one was attacked, one's demonic body would automatically form the 'Invincible Omen Body', rendering the enemy's attacks useless.
As the demonic yuan of a demonic art cultivator grew, the defensive power of the 'Invincible Omen Body' would also grow stronger. In the end, not only would the cultivator be impervious to swords and spears, water and fire, but it would also possess a terrifying counterattack power. Once the cultivator was attacked, the 'Invincible Omen Body' would automatically gather the energy within the cultivator's body and instantly unleash a terrifying force, inflicting heavy damage on the opponent.
It could be said that once one mastered the 'Invincible Omen Body', one would not have to worry about being ambushed. Any ambushes would be like getting caught in a web of their own making.
It was said that when Gu Tianxie the Exalted Demonlord was refining a demonic weapon, he was discovered by three of his enemies. When the three saw that Gu Tianxie the Exalted Demonlord was refining a demonic weapon, they immediately joined forces and attacked him. However, under the terrifying defensive power of Gu Tianxie's' Invincible Omen Body ', Gu Tianxie merely vomited a small mouthful of blood. Of the three attackers, two were killed on the spot by the counterattack of the' Invincible Omen Body '. The third was so badly injured that he was scared out of his wits and immediately stumbled out of the place. He died before he could even walk out of Gu Tianxie's demonic domain.
Han Shuo had a very solid foundation to begin with. He had placed great emphasis on the tempering and forging of his physical body over the years. As soon as he obtained the cultivation method for the 'Invincible Omen Body', Han Shuo immediately began to cultivate without eating or sleeping. Whenever he came across something he did not understand, he would immediately ask Cauldron Spirit. Cauldron Spirit was indeed worthy of being the most precious demonic treasure. Under the influence of Gu Tianxie, its understanding of demonic energy was much deeper than Han Shuo's. It was able to provide detailed explanations to many of the questions that Han Shuo did not understand.
With the help of Cauldron Spirit, Han Shuo tirelessly cultivated the 'Invincible Omen Body'. The 'Invincible Omen Body' was a process of destruction and reconstruction. During the cultivation process, Han Shuo's blood vessels would rupture and his internal organs would shatter. Having gotten used to the cultivation method of demonic arts that was akin to self-mutilation, Han Shuo persisted in forging his physical body over and over again.
The concept of time in the gymnasium was very indifferent. The first to wake up was Han Shuo's avatar of death. After absorbing all the divine essences containing the energy of death, it was no longer as easy for his avatar of death to make any further progress.
When Han Shuo raised his head and looked at the energy clock hanging on the ceiling of the gymnasium, he realized that half a year had passed without him realizing it. During this period of time, Han Shuo had only absorbed all the divine essences while his other two avatars were still immersed in their cultivation.
Another three months passed. Han Shuo's avatar of destruction had also stopped studying the edict of destruction. Han Shuo had experimented with all the methods he had memorized with his consciousness and had grasped part of the usage of the Orbs of Destruction. At present, with a single thought from Han Shuo, the five Orbs of Destruction would constantly revolve around Han Shuo according to the edict of destruction. So long as Han Shuo willed it, those Orbs of Destruction would attack any corner in a special trajectory.
Han Shuo knew that the usage of the Orbs of Destruction could only be gradually improved as his understanding of the edict of destruction increased. This avatar of his was also on the verge of a breakthrough. Han Shuo believed that with another epiphany, he would be able to take another step forward and reach the late-stage lowgod realm.
Another two months passed. Han Shuo's main body that was cultivating the 'Invincible Omen Body' had also stopped its refinement. Han Shuo had almost crazily cultivated and tortured himself to the point of achieving a small success in the 'Invincible Omen Body'. Once Han Shuo willed it, the 'Invincible Omen Body' would materialize and the demonic yuan would instantly fill every corner of his body.
However, Han Shuo was still a long way from achieving the realm of 'Invincible Omen Body'. As for the realm of 'Invincible Omen Body' where it would automatically explode with the power of 'Invincible Omen Body', Han Shuo was still far from achieving that realm. He could only take it one step at a time.
All three of his avatars had temporarily cultivated to their limits. If he wanted to take another step forward, he couldn't just rely on cultivation to make a breakthrough. At this time, Han Shuo knew that there was no longer any need to stay in the gymnasium. His two avatars once again returned to Han Shuo's body. After taking a good bath in the gymnasium and changing into a set of clean clothes, Han Shuo walked out of the gymnasium.
As he had stayed in the gymnasium for nearly a year, the five purple crystal coins that Han Shuo had paid previously were not enough. He had no choice but to pay another six purple crystal coins. When Han Shuo handed over the remaining purple crystal coins to the old man, he took the opportunity to ask, "Where is the largest scroll shop in the vicinity?"
"Head north from here. You will see a scroll shop called 'God's Gift' very soon. You should be able to find what you need inside!" After putting away the six purple crystal coins, the old man enthusiastically pointed the way for Han Shuo.
After thanking the old man, Han Shuo left the gymnasium and headed towards the scroll shop called 'God's Gift'. Approximately twenty minutes later, Han Shuo entered the scroll shop.
Han Shuo needed some truly useful comprehension of the edict of destruction. Therefore, he came here.
This was the scroll shop owned by godhunter Rahman in Fort Verka. This God's Gift Shop was much bigger than Han Shuo had imagined. Although the shop only had one floor, it was divided into many sections. Other than the energy of life and the energy of light, the other ten fundamental energies were divided into their own sections. There was also a section filled with experience scrolls for all sorts of non-mainstream energies. There were scrolls for the cultivation of fighting aura, scrolls for the cultivation of the energy of fear, and even scrolls for the cultivation of the energy of lust. This greatly surprised Han Shuo.
When Han Shuo arrived at the section for the scrolls of destruction, he discovered that the entire section was divided into three sections. One was for scrolls on the comprehension of the edict of destruction, one was for scrolls on the attack methods of the edict of destruction, and the last was for scrolls on the usage of divine weapons of destruction.
Each of the three sections was guarded by specialized personnel. They were in charge of explaining and selling nearly a hundred types of scrolls. All of them were professionally trained. Each and every one of them was smiling from ear to ear and gave off a comfortable feeling as though one was bathing in a spring breeze.
Upon arriving at this section, Han Shuo had to admit that this was a truly large shop. Compared to this place, Rahman's shop was simply insignificant. Han Shuo walked straight to the section for scrolls on the comprehension of the edict of destruction. When he lowered his head to take a look, he was startled yet again. He saw that those scrolls were priced in black crystal coins. They were so expensive that Han Shuo was a little dazed.
The cheapest scroll was priced at three black crystal coins. The most expensive scroll for midgods was priced at nine thousand black crystal coins. That was far more than Han Shuo's current net worth.
"Every scroll in our shop has been specially inspected. You should feel that they are worth the price. After all, the improvement of one's cultivation realm is the foundation of one's strength. It is normal for them to be a little expensive." After explaining to Han Shuo in a very amiable manner, the young and handsome shop assistant asked, "May I know where you have encountered a problem? I can help you select a suitable scroll!"
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment after hearing those words. He quickly replied, "I am currently in the mid-stage lowgod realm. At present, I have a vague feeling that I am about to make a breakthrough to the late-stage lowgod realm. Unfortunately, I have not been able to grasp the crux of the breakthrough. I do not know which aspect I am lacking in. Therefore, I would like to see if there are any scrolls here that can help me."
"This is a scroll! It contains the insights of a person who had made a breakthrough to the late-stage lowgod realm. It is priced at forty-seven black crystal coins. I believe it will be of some help to you! " The shop assistant lowered his head and flipped through a booklet. After a while, he raised his head and took a scroll from the bottom of the counter. He confidently said to Han Shuo.
So professional! Han Shuo was greatly amazed. His trust in this shop grew. Without any hesitation, Han Shuo took out forty-seven black crystal coins and handed it to the shop assistant. He said, "Alright, give it to me!"
"Before I sell it, according to the rules, I have to remind you that the scrolls here are merely the insights of the predecessors who had made a breakthrough. Not everyone's cultivation path is the same. Perhaps the successful experiences of the predecessors might not be suitable for you. These scrolls may give you more insights, but they cannot guarantee that you will be able to make a breakthrough to your current realm!" the shop assistant explained to Han Shuo with a faint smile.
"Alright, I understand. Give it to me," Han Shuo naturally knew that the scrolls wouldn't be a hundred percent effective. He didn't need the shop assistant's reminder.
"Please give me your divine tablet. We have a rule here that all scrolls for sale must be recorded in detail!" the shop assistant said apologetically.
After handing over the divine tablet and the forty-seven black crystal coins, Han Shuo also received the scroll after going through the normal procedures. He impatiently skimmed through the contents of the scroll. Han Shuo's face was filled with a bitter smile. The owner of the scroll wasn't good at expressing himself at all. Some of the contents of the scroll were vague and confusing. Han Shuo couldn't understand what the owner was trying to say. It seemed that those were his own thoughts from the beginning.
The only useful point was that the owner talked about hatred. He said that hatred gave him the urge to destroy everything. Under the support of intense hatred, the owner of the scroll could only think of utterly destroying his enemies. The moment he killed the enemy that was engraved in his bones, he suddenly made a breakthrough.
"We have agreed beforehand that even if you fail to obtain what you need, we will not refund you!" When the shop assistant saw the bitter smile on Han Shuo's face, he immediately realized that Han Shuo hadn't understood the meaning of the scroll. He hastily reminded Han Shuo.
"Forget it. I should have known that everyone's understanding of cultivation is different. If divine scrolls were useful, there wouldn't be so many people stuck in the same realm!" Han Shuo helplessly sighed, no longer pinning his hopes on the divine scrolls. He turned around and left the scroll shop.
"Hatred … hatred gives rise to the urge to destroy everything … hatred … hatred …" After exiting the scroll shop, Han Shuo thought to himself. He felt that the scroll had given him some inspiration on this point.
However, the enemy that was engraved in his bones had long been killed by Han Shuo. At present, Han Shuo didn't have any enemy with such deep hatred. Even if he wanted to try, he didn't know where to start.
Suddenly, Han Shuo raised his brows. He stopped moving and turned around to look behind him.
Shortly after, a group of travel-worn divine guards from the City of Shadows rushed over and surrounded Han Shuo. "You are Brian, right?" The leader of the group was the green-haired young man whom Han Shuo had met in the Godhunter Valley. He immediately shouted coldly when he saw Han Shuo.
"That's right. What's the matter?" Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment and looked at the young man in confusion.
"You know what you have done. Come with us!" After Han Shuo admitted to it, the green-haired young man shouted furiously, "Shameless fella! How dare you rob us of our spoils of war! I will make you spit them all out!"
