The avatar cultivating in the Cauldron of Myriad Demon that cultivated in the edict of destruction had successfully ascended to midgod realm with the help of a strand of bizarre energy.
What delighted Han Shuo even more was that the strand of energy was still fusing with him!
That strand of energy continued to fuse with Han Shuo even after he became an early-stage midgod of destruction. His body continued to expand. His understanding of the edict of destruction gradually fused with the soul of his avatar.
During this process, Han Shuo's shattered meridians and bones were rapidly reconnecting and reassembling. Popping noises could be heard from his body. It was as though firecrackers were being set off inside his body. Anyone who saw it would surely be startled.
In this state, the concept of time was often very indifferent. He didn't even know how much time had passed. He only heard a series of crisp sounds vibrating in every part of his body, and his whole body involuntarily swayed along with the crisp sounds. It looked extremely strange.
"Congratulations, Master. Your body has been strengthened once again. It seems that you have truly cultivated your Invincible Omen Body to the second realm!" Cauldron Spirit's voice sounded in Han Shuo's consciousness.
Han Shuo was jolted awake from the silence. He shook his head from side to side. His neck was emitting crisp and clear creaking noises. It was as though he was a precise instrument that was operating at a special rhythm.
Gradually, the creaking noises from his body completely disappeared. Han Shuo grinned and asked Cauldron Spirit, "You are saying that I can automatically regenerate my Invincible Omen Body without borrowing your energy?"
"Yes. Not only that, as your body has been strengthened once again, you can borrow my energy for a longer period of time!" Cauldron Spirit explained.
"Haha, very good, very good!" Han Shuo was overjoyed.
Inside the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, Han Shuo's avatar that cultivated in the edict of destruction was still meditating. His tough and resilient body was repairing itself. After an indeterminate period of time, Han Shuo raised his head and looked around. He saw that the enormous underground palace was completely empty.
Large chunks of rubble were strewn all over the place. The rocks were dark purple in color and looked as black as charcoal in the dim underground. The energy towers in the surroundings had all collapsed. The palace at the center was riddled with holes from the rubble. It had long lost its original solemnity and dignity.
Blightsoar and Aobashi must have carefully inspected the place before they left. There shouldn't be anything special that they missed. He circled the area a few times but did not find anything of value. The palaces and energy towers here were all made of stone. At a glance, there were only broken and scattered stones everywhere. There was nothing else.
Now that this place had been discovered and the godhunters had long escaped, Han Shuo, who had recovered from his injuries, felt that there was no need to stay any longer after seeing that he couldn't find anything of value. He immediately flew back up the path he came from.
After traversing through the pitch-black tunnel, Han Shuo arrived at the entrance of the descent. His demon generals were still roaming around the caverns as per Han Shuo's orders. However, those caverns were completely empty. Be it the divine guards or godhunters of the three Cities, they had all vanished without a trace.
Arriving above the cold pond, Han Shuo lowered his head and peeked at the bottom of the pond. He felt that the gravity had returned to normal, so he slowly descended. Looking at the jet-black pond water, he frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, he took out a medicine bottle and poured some of the pond water into it.
"Eh?" Han Shuo softly exclaimed. He carefully observed the pond water in the medicine bottle for a moment. When he looked at the jet-black pond water again, his eyes were filled with astonishment.
Han Shuo had a lingering fear towards the poison produced by Godswamp Pharmacy. Even a midgod would be instantly melted after falling into the pond water. The intense corrosive properties of the pond water made Han Shuo extremely fearful of it.
Originally, Han Shuo had thought that the pond water had been filled with a large amount of poison for it to be so terrifyingly corrosive. But now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that something wasn't quite right.
The pond occupied an enormous area and the water was bottomless. How much poison would have been wasted to make the pond water so corrosive?
Based on Han Shuo's observations of the God's Medicine, this kind of poison appeared to be very precious even in their hands. It seemed that the process of refining it was extremely difficult. Based on Han Shuo's estimation, for the frigid pond to have such a strong corrosive effect, it would require at least several tons of poison to dissolve!
However, to pour so many precious poisons into this frigid lake just to form a weak barrier, was there something wrong with the godhunter's head?
Han Shuo felt that something wasn't quite right. He split off a strand of his consciousness to carefully observe the pond water in the medicine bottle.
All of a sudden, Han Shuo discovered that although the pond water contained the same poison, it wasn't as potent as the poison produced by Godswamp Pharmacy. After thinking about it carefully, Han Shuo came to a strange conclusion – could it be that the Godswamp Pharmacy's poison was extracted from the pond water?
As soon as this sudden thought entered Han Shuo's mind, he felt that it was highly possible. When he looked at the jet-black pond water again, he couldn't help but be astonished.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Shuo extended his left index finger and dripped a drop of pond water onto his left index finger.
A wisp of smoke immediately emerged from Han Shuo's index finger. An intense corrosive energy invaded every cell and bone in Han Shuo's index finger, as though it was trying to dissolve his hand into a puddle of blood.
Sensing the terrifying destructive power of the corrosive energy, Invincible Omen Body automatically mobilized the demonic yuan in Han Shuo's body. As soon as the drop of pond water dripped onto his index finger, Han Shuo's demonic yuan immediately formed layers of defensive energy to resist the corrosive energy. His demonic yuan was rapidly depleting.
Sizzle … Sizzle … The smoke on his finger grew thicker and darker.
Under the effect of Invincible Omen Body, Han Shuo expended some of his demonic yuan to dissolve the corrosive energy. The ruptured cells on his finger regenerated and soon, his finger was as good as new.
What a powerful corrosive energy! It's a hundred times more terrifying than the strongest acid! Han Shuo was shocked.
Those divine guards and godhunters who fell into the pond would have their entire bodies subjected to the corrosive energy. Their divine energy would be completely depleted in a short period of time. That was why they would turn into bones and eventually blood that would be absorbed into the pond. Now that Han Shuo had his guard up and his Invincible Omen Body was extremely miraculous, a single drop of pond water wouldn't be able to harm him.
This is truly the best medicine for silencing witnesses and destroying evidence!
Han Shuo sighed in amazement. He took out an enormous medicine bottle from his space ring and started filling it with the pond water. He was going to take his time to study it. The terrifying corrosive energy contained in the pond water was not only suitable for destroying corpses, but it could also greatly increase the destructive power of some malicious demonic treasures.
Since Han Shuo dared to devour the divine energy of others, he wasn't prejudiced against this kind of poison. If the Godswamp Pharmacy hadn't attacked him beforehand, Han Shuo wouldn't have cared about what the Godswamp Pharmacy was doing. He might even have secretly purchased some of the poison from the Godswamp Pharmacy.
To achieve one's goal by hook or by crook had always been Han Shuo's motto. He was delighted to see his prey and filled a few large medicine bottles with the pond water. It seems like the Godswamp Pharmacy also extracted the poison from the lake water here. You've really gotten lucky this time!
But why would the pond become like this?
Han Shuo was puzzled. The pond wouldn't become like this for no reason. There must be a reason!
After hesitating for a moment, Han Shuo decided to investigate the pond!
The corrosive power of the pond water was astonishing. If he were to recklessly enter without mastering the Invincible Omen Body, his entire body would have to endure the terrifying corrosive power. After testing the effects of that drop of water, Han Shuo didn't think that his demonic yuan would be enough to support his entire body in the pond.
Han Shuo first tried throwing metal, glass, and crystal coins into the cold pond. He discovered that the corrosive power of the pond water only seemed to have such a terrifying corrosive power towards flesh and blood, and didn't seem to be too affected by the corrosive power of the pond water for cold, inanimate objects like glass.
Han Shuo had experimented with demon generals before and discovered that the corrosive energy of the pond water seemed to have an effect on demon generals as well. Although it wasn't as obvious as it was on flesh and blood, the demon generals were extremely afraid of falling into the pond. The corrosive energy of the pond water seemed to have an effect on all living creatures!
After pondering for a moment, Han Shuo took out the Demonic Jadeflame Shuttle. With a thought, the Demonic Jadeflame Shuttle flew into the pond.
The Demonic Jadeflame Shuttle was a demonic treasure refined by Han Shuo. It did not have any signs of life. Although it would still be affected by the corrosive energy of the pond water, it was completely bearable for the Demonic Jadeflame Shuttle.
Without demon generals attached to the Demonic Jadeflame Shuttle, Han Shuo couldn't clearly see the situation at the bottom of the pond. He could only sense that the pond water was extremely deep. Han Shuo, who couldn't clearly see the bottom of the pond after drifting for a while with the Demonic Jadeflame Shuttle, found nothing. He had no choice but to take out the Demonic Jadeflame Shuttle from the bottom of the pond.
"Master, let me do it," Cauldron Spirit suddenly transmitted to Han Shuo's mind.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before he worriedly asked, "I have tried many times. The corrosive energy of the pond water is effective on all living creatures. Even demon generals wouldn't dare to fall into it. Will you be alright?"
"As a demonic treasure, this kind of corrosive energy can't do anything to me. If I had tens of thousands of demon generals in my cauldron, I wouldn't be afraid of corrosive energy a hundred times stronger than this!" Cauldron Spirit proudly replied.
It was only after hearing those words that Han Shuo recalled that Cauldron Spirit was a demonic treasure. As the number one demonic weapon in Gu Tianxie's possession and a demonic token worshipped by all demonic cultivators, even though it was greatly weakened, the corrosive energy of the pond water shouldn't be able to harm it. "Alright.
Be careful and see if there are any oddities in the pond. I have a feeling that there must be a special reason why the pond water possesses such strong corrosive energy. It can't be formed out of thin air! "Han Shuo nodded after thinking for a moment.
With one thought, Cauldron Spirit slowly flew out from Han Shuo's body and automatically descended into the pond.
