To Han Shuo, not only was Salas a formidable foe in the Fringe, but he was also the key that could help him make a breakthrough. Han Shuo would go all out in this battle. No matter the outcome, he would be the one with the upper hand. Even if he lost, he would be able to use Demonic Blood Disassembly to escape. Not only would he be able to see the true strength of an overgod and achieve a breakthrough in his demonic arts, but he would also be able to make a name for himself in the Fringe. He would be able to let all the gods in the Fringe know that there was one more expert who could contend against Salas.
As long as the weak could guarantee their own survival in challenging the strong, no matter how one looked at it, it was a great advantage!
Han Shuo made a grasping motion with both hands. His murderous aura turned into a dragon and bit down on Salas who was flying down from the Ninth Heaven. With one thought, the Cauldron of Myriad Demon and the seventeen flying swords flew back. They gave up on attacking the small fries in the surroundings and focused all their attention on Salas.
Salas' body was covered in dazzling electric arcs. He had turned into an electric man with terrifying electric currents coiling around his body. Bolts of lightning struck down at the black dragon formed by Han Shuo's murderous aura. Dazzling electric sparks were aroused, and thunder boomed across the Empyrean Peak.
Salas's subordinates, fearing that they would be caught in the shockwaves of the battle between the two peerless experts, quickly retreated to the foot of the mountain, leaving the summit to Han Shuo and Salas. They stood at the foot of the mountain and watched the commotion from afar.
It was only after exchanging blows with Salas that Han Shuo realized just how terrifying an overgod's strength was. Even with the full power of the Cauldron of Spirit and the seventeen flying swords, Han Shuo was unable to gain the upper hand.
Salas's understanding and mastery of the element of lightning had reached an extremely miraculous level. His divine body was filled with the element of lightning. Every strike he made contained boundless energy of lightning. The black dragon formed by Han Shuo's murderous aura immediately dissipated after being struck by hundreds of lightning bolts.
As Salas's residence, the Empyrean Peak had more element of lightning than any other place. On top of the Empyrean Peak, Salas was able to utilize more element of lightning. In addition to the divine energy of lightning contained in his body, his strength was much greater than anywhere else.
If it weren't for Han Shuo's incomparably tough demonic body and if it weren't for Han Shuo's Cauldron of Spirit's energy, Han Shuo wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long under the bombardment of lightning. The seventeen flying swords formed a sword net in an attempt to trap Salas within it. However, the lightning energy Salas directed accurately struck the seventeen flying swords, disrupting their trajectories and preventing Han Shuo from setting up the grand formation.
Han Shuo's eyes were dark red. The muscles on his majestic body contorted as wisps of dark demonic energy were released from his body. He looked like a ferocious god from the depths of hell. Han Shuo's avatar of destruction had transformed into the Demonslayer Edge. He clenched the Demonslayer Edge tightly in his right hand as he clashed with Salas.
Salas unfolded his domain of divinity. Electric arcs rained down from the sky above the Empyrean Peak. The entire Empyrean Peak was covered in a densely-packed electric net. Wherever the electric net was connected, there would definitely be lightning energy present. In this space filled with electric nets and rumbling thunder, Han Shuo would touch the electric net even if he didn't move an inch and the lightning energy would enter his body.
Fortunately, the new domain formed from the fusion of the two domains of divinity was equally domineering. With Han Shuo at the center, it forcibly tore open a space and rapidly gathered the element of death in the vicinity. He was using the element of death and edict of destruction to contend against Salas's domain of divinity.
During the confrontation with Salas, Han Shuo could feel that even if he exerted all his strength, it would still be very difficult. Moreover, Han Shuo faintly felt that Salas hadn't used his full strength yet. This made Han Shuo feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He was ready to receive even fiercer attacks from Salas at any moment.
The battle continued. Gradually, Salas became somewhat impatient.
Suddenly, Salas let out a furious roar. No one knew what method he used, but the electric arcs falling down from his domain of divinity suddenly became several times thicker. Earth-shaking thunderclaps resounded in his domain of divinity.
In just an instant, not only Salas's domain of divinity, but even Salas himself seemed to have become several times stronger. Han Shuo was already having a hard time holding on even before Salas used his full strength. Now that Salas' strength had suddenly skyrocketed, Han Shuo's situation suddenly became extremely difficult.
… …
There were a few mid-level material planes a great distance away from Elysium. All the living beings on these mid-level material planes worshiped Salas as their one and only god. Salas would obtain strands of faith energy from these worshipers at all times.
On these mid-level material planes, statues of Salas were worshiped and shrines were built to worship Salas. Some of those devout worshipers even possessed demigod or basegod strength. They traveled between major material planes and, under the will of Salas, spread Salas's divine might to every corner of the world so that Salas could receive even more worshipers.
But at this moment, all the worshipers on those planes that worshiped Salas as their one and only god started vomiting blood. Sanguinar's soul dissipated. The faith energy contained in those souls transcended space and was transferred to Salas on Elysium.
There were hundreds of millions of living beings on those material planes. Every single one of them worshiped Salas as their Overgod. But in an instant, all of their souls dissipated. Those material planes became desolate planets without the slightest aura of life …
On Elysium, Salas' strength had skyrocketed. His domain of divinity pressed down on Han Shuo, rendering him powerless to resist. Terrifying bolts of lightning the size of small mountains bombarded Han Shuo's body. Even Invincible Omen Body was unable to withstand it. His skin and flesh split open and blood flowed freely.
Even Invincible Omen Body had its limits. When the power of the bombardment far exceeded the limits of Invincible Omen Body, it would not be able to withstand all the damage.
In just an instant, Han Shuo's body was severely injured. He felt dizzy and had the illusion that he did not know where he was!
"Master, wake up! Wake up! "Cauldron Spirit's voice resounded in Han Shuo's mind.
The muddle-headed Han Shuo abruptly woke up. The next moment, he felt a stinging pain all over his body. It had been a long time since he had experienced this kind of tearing pain after achieving minor mastery of Invincible Omen Body. At this moment, Han Shuo actually felt a perverted pleasure.
Han Shuo raised his head and saw that the entire Empyrean Peak was filled with lightning bolts. The lightning bolts seemed to have connected heaven and earth, filling every inch of space and bombarding down like a torrential downpour.
Salas coldly looked down at Han Shuo. His face was frosty. It seemed that he would not allow Han Shuo to escape today.
At this moment, Han Shuo's consciousness became somewhat absent-minded. For some reason, he suddenly felt as though something was about to happen …
Han Shuo's heart suddenly calmed down. At this moment, he had the epiphany of the end of heaven and earth. It was as though a pair of eyes had penetrated through layers of space, traveled through the river of time, and saw the beginning of Elysium …
With an apathetic face, Han Shuo observed everything with indifference. All kinds of epiphanies leaped into his mind. Complicated and cryptic chants seemed to have broken free from their shackles and turned into rays of light that drifted in his consciousness. The beginning of all things, the end of heaven and earth, the end of heaven and earth, no man and no thing, the Chaos has yet to be divided …
In the void, Salas no longer hesitated. He was ready to kill Han Shuo.
It was at this moment that Salas suddenly realized that he had lost contact with the lightning energy that filled the world. The lightning bolts that came crashing down were no longer under his control and started wreaking havoc throughout the entire Empyrean Peak. They were no longer confined to the peak, but even the middle and the foot of the mountain.
Many of his subordinates who were hiding at the foot of the mountain and watching the changes on the peak were caught off guard and struck by the lightning bolts. Without the terrifying defensive power of Han Shuo's demonic body, they were killed on the spot!
All of a sudden, boundless elemental energies converged from all directions. Light, darkness, earth, fire, wind, water, lightning, and death, as well as all kinds of energies, such as the murderous aura, the aura of fear, and the energy of souls that had yet to dissipate, rushed into the Empyrean Peak as though they were being drawn by some kind of force.
These energies did not seem to be under anyone's control. It was as though they were drawn by the most fundamental principles of the universe. After they gathered on the Empyrean Peak, they attacked all living beings on the Empyrean Peak in waves, as though they were going to destroy the world.
The boundaries and energy towers deployed by Salas that were not destroyed by Han Shuo suddenly exploded. Salas' subordinates at the foot of the mountain wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves. Under the bombardment of light, darkness, earth, fire, wind, water, lightning, death, and all kinds of strange energies, hundreds of corpses littered the ground in an instant.
"Master, the Heavenly Tribulation of the Skybreak Realm is coming! Be careful! Don't worry about Salas, use all your strength to resist the Heavenly Tribulation! " Cauldron Spirit was still shouting. However, Han Shuo did not seem to be able to hear anything. He was in a daze, trying to comprehend the various comprehensions in his consciousness.
It was only when a meteorite suddenly came from beyond the heavens and bombarded Han Shuo into the hard rocks of the Empyrean Peak that Han Shuo suddenly came to his senses. He discovered that the Empyrean Peak had undergone earth-shattering changes. All kinds of apocalyptic energies were wreaking havoc on the Empyrean Peak. Light, darkness, earth, fire, wind, water, lightning, death, and all kinds of other energies were slowly accumulating the most powerful wave of attacks.
And their target was Han Shuo!
He could clearly sense that those energies that seemed to follow the most fundamental principles of the universe had locked onto him from afar as though they had a life of their own. Once they were done accumulating, they would blast him and the entire Empyrean Peak to smithereens.
Han Shuo could sense that no matter where he fled to, he would not be able to evade the attacks of these energies. All he could do was face them head-on.
If he couldn't withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, his consciousness would dissipate. From then on, there would no longer be a person named Han Shuo or Brian in this world!
If he could withstand it, he would break through to the Skybreak Realm, his strength would skyrocket, and he would become a true overlord of the Fringe!
