All along, Han Shuo couldn't figure out the identity of the old man he had seen with his demon generals. But now, through Eugene, he was finally able to confirm that the old man was indeed the master of Godswamp Pharmacy, Hassling. From this, Han Shuo was certain that the Godswamp Pharmacy's deeds in the City of Shadows had gained Hassling's approval.
Ever since Han Shuo exposed the Godswamp Pharmacy's deeds in the City of Shadows, Han Shuo and Hassling had formed an irreconcilable grudge. Now that the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy had replaced the Godswamp Pharmacy in the City of Shadows, it meant that the feud between the two was growing. Even if Han Shuo didn't want to deal with the Godswamp Pharmacy, Hassling wouldn't let him off the hook.
With that in mind, Han Shuo would destroy the Godswamp Pharmacy at all costs and get rid of Hassling!
"Eugene, Hassling is definitely colluding with the godhunters. You really need to see his true colors!" Han Shuo sneered.
Eugene, obviously, didn't take Han Shuo's warning to heart. He merely let out a low groan and expressed his disdain for Han Shuo's words. He still believed that Han Shuo was maliciously slandering Hassling. It seemed that Han Shuo and Hassling had a pretty good relationship.
The battle was still ongoing.
With Aobashi in the lead, the group launched attacks at the godhunters in the caves. Another six godhunters who had revealed themselves at the cave entrances were bombarded by Aobashi and the others.
"All of you, retreat!" A low roar came from the largest cave.
The godhunters who were trying to rush out of the cave immediately shrank back into the cave upon hearing the roar. They even used the walls of the cave to block the entrance. With that, Aobashi and the others lost their targets and couldn't kill the godhunters.
"It's Brovst! He's in there! "Erebus softly cried out. He seemed rather excited.
"All the godhunters have entered the cave. What do we do now?" Blightsoar turned his head and asked Aobashi.
"There's an intersection between the caves!" Han Shuo closed his eyes and stealthily infiltrated the cave with a few demon generals. He suddenly shouted, "There's an exit inside but it's very narrow. The godhunters are retreating!"
Having witnessed their performance earlier, Aobashi and the others no longer doubted Han Shuo's words. Their expressions slightly changed. Aobashi hastily instructed, "Leave twenty men on each side to guard the entrance. The rest will enter the cave. It wasn't easy to chase them all this way. We can't let them escape!"
"Got it!" Blightsoar immediately agreed. He turned to Aobashi and nodded, shouting, "Let's go!" Eugene also gave an order and led his subordinates into the cave.
Angelina's figure flickered as she took the lead and rushed out, with Han Shuo following closely behind. Aobashi, Erebus, Blightsoar, and Eugene shot out from four different directions. One shadow after another streaked across the sky, heading straight for the cave behind the lake.
In an instant, more than a hundred figures landed on top of the cold pond, only a step away from those caves.
As soon as he finished those words, the gravitational force around the lake suddenly increased by a hundredfold. Everyone above the lake slowed down.
It was at this moment that many godhunters suddenly appeared at the cave entrances. They attacked the people above the lake who were affected by the hundredfold gravity. It was at this moment that many godhunters suddenly appeared at the cave entrances. They attacked the people above the lake who were affected by the hundredfold gravity.
Everyone was greatly affected by the hundredfold gravity. Not only did they slow down, but they also had to expend tens of times more divine energy to maintain flight. In such a state, a dozen or so of them were caught off guard and fell into the lake.
Bloodcurdling screams could be heard from the mouths of those who fell into the lake. In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so new skeletons were added to the lake.
The dozens of people who were left behind swiftly attacked the godhunters at the cave entrances. Several of the godhunters were killed and their corpses fell into the lake.
"Stop them!" Brovst, who had a bulky body, appeared at the largest cave entrance. He wore a malevolent expression.
Beside him, Gallas who cultivated in the edict of darkness and Taylin who cultivated in the edict of death also stepped forward. The three turned their gazes to Andrina and immediately attacked Andrina together. They paid no heed to Aobashi, Eugene, and the others.
Andrina was the first to rush out and was the closest to the three. She was caught unprepared by the sudden attack from the three. Her palms blossomed with light. She seemed to have turned into a large piece of transparent crystal in midair as she resisted the combined attacks of the three.
"Attack Brovst and the others!" Han Shuo roared. He raised his left hand and the Green Phosphorous Gravel he refined before coming to Elysium flew towards Brovst, Eugene, and Eugene like stars.
Aobashi and Erebus, the two from the City of Shadows, hastily attacked Brovst, Eugene, and Eugene. Aobashi's fine black hair fluttered in the wind. A high-speed tornado instantly took shape and spun towards the cave entrance. Erebus thrust the jet-black spear in his hand. A streak of black lightning shot out like a swimming dragon.
The three who were attacking with all their might to kill Andrina had no choice but to temporarily halt their barrage of attacks. They hastily defended against Aobashi and Erebus' attacks and deployed multiple layers of boundaries around the cave entrance.
"Huh?!" The three exclaimed at the same time. They suddenly discovered that specks of Green Phosphorous Gravel fell into the cave and ignited everything it touched. Taylin accidentally touched a few specks of Green Phosphorous Gravel and her body started burning. The oily green flames were extremely vicious and charred her body in the blink of an eye.
Han Shuo's Green Phosphorous Gravel was released before Aobashi. Brovst, Eugene, and Eugene thought nothing of Han Shuo's Green Phosphorous Gravel. Their boundaries were only deployed to stop Aobashi and Erebus. Therefore, they allowed the Green Phosphorous Gravel to invade their cave. They believed that the attacks of a minor character like Han Shuo wouldn't affect them. It was only when the Green Phosphorous Gravel started burning inside the cave that they realized something was wrong.
"What kind of damned fire is this? Why can't it be extinguished? Argh! That bastard! I'm going to kill him! "Taylin cried out in pain. It seemed that she had been tormented by the Green Phosphorous Gravel.
When Brovst and Gallas saw that even Taylin couldn't immediately extinguish the oily green specks, they were startled. They hastily retreated into the cave and temporarily gave up on attacking Andrina.
Andrina immediately relaxed. She took advantage of the gap and leaped to the entrance of a cave. She was the first one to cross the lake.
As the cave where Brovst and the other two godhunters were staying was constantly burning with Green Phosphorous Sand, Angelina did not choose to stay there. Instead, she went to the cave where the three midgods were staying. As soon as she entered, she started a massacre. She showed no mercy. The three godhunters were all dragged into the frigid pond by her little hand.
Very quickly, three godhunters were reduced to bones. Angelina took a quick glance and flew towards another cave entrance. She purposely chose an area with the highest concentration of godhunters. As soon as she arrived, she grabbed them with her tiny hands and tossed them into the lake. In just a short while, seven more godhunters were tossed into the lake.
Without Brovst and the others hindering them, Aobashi, Erebus, and the others managed to cross the Frigid Pond. These highgod experts specifically targeted the densely populated godhunter caves. Miserable shrieks sounded from the caves as a dozen or so godhunters were killed in an instant.
With that, the divine guards above the lake were relieved. They safely crossed the lake and entered the caves.
"Everyone, spread out and search the caves one by one!" Aobashi shouted. She turned to Han Shuo and asked, "Brian, can you point out where Brovst, Gallas, and Gallas are?"
"No problem. Follow me!" Taylin's body was still burning with the Green Phosphorous Sand. Han Shuo would not let her go just by the smell alone.
Andrina, Aobashi, and Erebus immediately followed after Han Shuo. Blightsoar, who had just crossed the lake, did not hesitate and followed after them. Eugene of Hushveil City let out a light groan but did not follow them. Instead, he entered another cave and started searching alone.
"Be careful, there might be late-stage highgod experts in the cave!" Han Shuo loudly reminded and led the way.
The passageway was narrow and there were more and more forks in the road. Han Shuo took the lead. The few scattered godhunters they encountered along the way were all killed by the few of them. When they reached the center of the mountain, they suddenly saw an enormous, sparkling, and translucent cave. The cave was filled with sparkling energy crystals that illuminated it with a dazzling radiance.
There were many small passageways that extended in all directions. At the center, there was an enormous passageway that led deep into the ground. A few godhunters who were approaching from a distance hurriedly entered the passageway that led deep into the ground.
"There should be an exit there!" Han Shuo pointed at the cave and explained.
"Let's go!" Aobashi did not hesitate and was the first to rush into the cave.
Aobashi was the first to go down. Erebus followed her without hesitation. On the other hand, Angelina, who had been leading the charge, hesitated for a moment. She only followed after Han Shuo when she saw him rush down, and Swift Wind was the last to land.
They fell a thousand meters into the cave. It was so dark that they couldn't even see their own fingers. Other than Erebus who cultivated in the energy of darkness, Han Shuo was the only one who could barely see the surroundings.
The cave walls were pitch-black and seemed to lead deep into the ground. After observing for a moment, Han Shuo discovered that Andrina's eyes were sparkling like energy crystals. Han Shuo immediately knew that Andrina could see clearly as well.
Aobashi and Blightsoar continued descending. After descending for an unknown period of time, the party's feet suddenly touched solid ground.
Han Shuo lowered his head and saw an enormous palace that covered tens of thousands of square meters. It was built in an ancient and solemn manner. Energy towers were scattered in every corner of the palace. However, they did not emit any light. The godhunters were running around like headless flies. It seemed as though they couldn't find a way out.
All of a sudden, an enormous pressure filled the space between heaven and earth. It was as though a mountain was pressing down on the party, making it hard for them to breathe. A boundless aura came from nowhere. It carried an aura of eternity, as though it was a galaxy that had existed for a very long time and would never be extinguished!
In the pitch-black space, the silhouette of a three-thousand-meter-tall giant gradually emerged. His enormous body filled the valley. His green eyes were like two crescent moons hanging in midair as he coldly looked down at the party above the palace.
"You actually found this place!" an aged voice softly sounded from the giant's mouth and reverberated in the space.
"Who are you?" Erebus asked in a deep voice.
"Since you are here, don't even think of leaving alive!" The giant waved his hand. A world-destroying energy instantly filled every corner of the space. The energy of death and darkness in Han Shuo's body were suddenly sealed. He couldn't use even the slightest bit of divine energy.
Han Shuo was greatly alarmed. When he raised his head, all he could see was a hazy silhouette of a lofty mountain and a pair of green eyes that resembled crescent moons.
All of a sudden, Han Shuo felt that this scene was very familiar. It was as though he had encountered such a situation before.
After pondering for a moment, Han Shuo's expression abruptly changed. He finally recalled where and when he had encountered such a scene.
Back in the Cemetery of Death on Profound Continent, when the evil god was about to brand his soul mark on the second altar, Han Shuo felt as though his mind was being hacked into pieces. Back then, in a trance, Han Shuo saw a pitch-black, boundless space in his mind. In the haze, he saw the silhouette of a three-thousand-meter-tall giant appearing in the void, looking down at him with a pair of green eyes that resembled crescent moons. (See Chapter 271: The Tricolor Skeletal Staff.)
"Surrender, there will be no pain, and you will gain eternal life!" The three-thousand-meter-tall giant kept repeating these words in Han Shuo's mind, trying to make him submit to him. Back then, as they were separated by a great distance of material planes and the three-thousand-meter-tall giant was merely a thought, Han Shuo was able to resist the giant's will.
However, this time, the three-thousand-meter-tall giant was not an illusion, and the words he spoke were not thoughts. It was only when facing this incomparably terrifying existence that Han Shuo realized that the previous experience was nothing compared to this!
"Submit to me, or die!" the three-thousand-meter-tall giant bellowed. His voice was strangely bewitching.
"Who the hell are you?" Although Aobashi couldn't see her surroundings clearly, the pair of enormous green eyes still glowed faintly. They set off the giant's enormous body, making him look incomparably mysterious and powerful!
"You don't need to know!" the giant said in a low voice. "This is your last chance. Do you want to live or die?"
"I want to live!" Erebus suddenly shouted and threw out a scroll. The boundless darkness in the area was instantly affected by the scroll. An incomparably enormous energy wave suddenly surged out from the scroll, converged into a single point, and shot at the three-thousand-meter-tall giant.
"You're courting death!" The three-thousand-meter-tall giant waved his hand and the scroll Erebus threw out shattered with a crack. A ray of light shot out from his left eye and struck Erebus. Erebus let out a miserable howl and was sent flying far away.
Before coming here, Han Shuo had repeatedly asked Aobashi and Erebus about how to deal with a late-stage lowgod expert. But judging from the current situation, Erebus didn't even have the strength to fight back!
