As one of the overlords of the Fringe, Salas possessed formidable strength. Of all the demonic formations in the Pandemonium, only a few could truly harm him. As soon as Salas entered the Pandemonium, he managed to destroy three demonic formations with his formidable strength.
However, it wasn't that easy for Salas to destroy the entire Pandemonium. When he was trapped in a formation that was controlled by the Five Elite Zombies and Han Shuo using the five highgod demon heads in Cauldron Spirit, he immediately felt that he could no longer use the element of lightning between heaven and earth as he pleased.
The elemental energies in Tanai were much denser than those in other regions. Salas immediately sensed it the moment he entered the Pandemonium. That was why he was able to use more of his lightning energy to destroy everything in his sight.
When he sensed a wave of marvelous energy fluctuation and the five energies continuously roamed around him, dispersing all the element of lightning in the vicinity, Salas immediately knew that he was in trouble.
Unable to use Tanai's lightning energy, Salas had no choice but to use the divine energy in his body to defend himself. He discovered that he was in a completely different dimension. Many attacks that he had never seen before were crashing against him like a thousand tidal waves.
In this isolated dimension, Salas couldn't sense the auras of his subordinates or see what was happening outside. He could only passively use the energy in his body to defend against the bombardment of the elemental energies, consuming the energy in his body to protect his divine body and divine soul from harm.
Ossora, who was about to attack Salas, suddenly discovered that Salas wasn't invincible in Tanai. Looking down from above, he discovered that Salas was suddenly sitting cross-legged in a region of blurred light. Salas had a grave expression on his face as though he was in trouble.
Ossora was shocked. He didn't expect that the Pandemonium could make Salas feel like he was facing a formidable foe. Ossora wasn't in a hurry to attack. He once again hid in the dark and carefully observed Tanai's situation.
"Salas has fallen into the 'Spirit Draining Formation'. The Yuan Energy in the Pandemonium can be used to continuously deplete Salas's divine energy. The Yuan Energy has drowned him and he has to constantly use his divine energy to defend himself!" shouted Han Mu coldly.
"More than half of Salas's subordinates will die before he can break free. Those who dare to cause trouble in the Pandemonium will have to pay the price in blood," said Han Huo.
Han Jin softly sighed and said to Rose and the others, "Let's get ready. It seems that we really need to evacuate Tanai. Sigh, I wonder how Father is doing. Why hasn't he returned yet."
"Isn't Salas trapped? Why do we have to leave? "asked Rose, puzzled.
"Yeah. Look at Salas's solemn face. He seems very cautious. We might be able to trap him forever," said Romont to Han Jin.
"If the Pandemonium had existed for hundreds or even thousands of years, Salas wouldn't be able to break free once he's trapped. Unfortunately, the Pandemonium has only been built for two years. The Yuan Energy accumulated in the Pandemonium is too little. The formation is using the Yuan Energy accumulated in the Pandemonium to deplete the divine energy in Salas's body. Unfortunately, the Yuan Energy accumulated in the past two years is too little. It can only trap Salas for half an hour at most, "sighed Han Jin helplessly.
"There's no other way. Salas has the strength of an overgod. After half an hour, the Yuan Energy in Tanai's body will be completely depleted. Many of the formations won't be able to sustain them. As long as there's life, there's hope. We have no choice but to retreat. We can only wait for Father to return before we can take our revenge! " Han Tu turned to Goron and said, "Tell those people that I will open a tunnel a hundred meters underground. We will use that opportunity to leave the Pandemonium."
After listening to Han Jin and Han Tu's explanation, Romont, Rose, and the others no longer said anything. As those who were directly involved in setting up the demonic formations, the Five Elite Zombies knew the functions of the demonic formations inside out. Since they said that it was time to retreat, Rose knew that the situation was dire.
"Alright, I'll give the order right away!" replied Goron in a deep voice. He then hastily left the central hub.
"Sigh, it's been months. Why haven't I heard any news from Father?" Han Shui sighed. He thought that if Han Shuo were here, he would be able to tap into the Yuan Energy in the Pandemonium and the energy of the thousands of demon generals in Cauldron Spirit's body. Even if Salas fell into the formation, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"Father will come back for sure! Hmph, the next time Father comes back, it will be the death of Salas and the others! " Said Han Hao through gnashed teeth. The Five Elite Zombies had spent so much time and energy to set up the Pandemonium. Now that the Pandemonium was about to be destroyed by Salas, they couldn't bear to let it go.
"Let's get ready. We'll be leaving in a while!" Han Mu waved his hand. Suddenly, he closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. Then, he shouted, "Leave immediately! There's still a very powerful life force in the dark. That guy is no weaker than Salas!"
Upon hearing those words, not only Rose, Romont, and the others, but even the Five Elite Zombies turned pale. Salas alone was terrifying enough. If another Sovereign were to join the fray, they would be in an even more dire situation.
Rumors about Salas had been circulating nonstop. It was said that Salas had personally gone to Sovereign Wasis and Sovereign Logue and reached an agreement with them. From what Rose and the others could tell, it wasn't entirely impossible. Therefore, when they recalled what Han Mu had said, it was only natural that the person hiding in the dark was one of the two Sovereigns.
"Retreat immediately! Otherwise, we will suffer great losses!" Han Tu decisively shouted. A deep passageway had already opened up beneath his feet. It seemed like he was preparing to leave with his men.
"Wait!" shouted Han Mu.
Han Mu bunched his brows and waved his hand to stop the crowd. He closed his eyes again and sensed for a moment. After a while, Han Mu opened his eyes and said, "It's Ossora. He had projected his soul energy into the valley to see if my father is there. I got in touch with him. Ossora said that he will assist us in dealing with Salas. Do you think this person is trustworthy? "
As a cultivator of the edict of life, Han Mu had a miraculous connection with all life forms of Pandemonium Tanai. His Soul of Life was not the same as that of an average person. Therefore, he was able to sense Ossora's soul and communicate with him through soul messages.
While the Five Elite Zombies, Rose, and the others were hesitating, Ossora was just as shocked. When he received the soul message, Ossora thought that Han Shuo was really at the Pandemonium because the fluctuation of his soul energy into the Pandemonium was very subtle. Only experts of his level would be able to detect it.
But when Han Mu asked, "Who are you?", Ossora immediately realized that it wasn't Han Shuo who detected his divine soul energy. He had met Han Shuo once and could sense that Han Shuo's soul was more sinister and dark, unlike Han Mu's, which was full of life and vitality.
After learning of Han Mu's identity through soul communication and stating the purpose of his visit, Ossora couldn't help but think that the Pandemonium was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. He did not expect that there would be an expert who was adept in soul sensing. This made him even more determined to help the Pandemonium.
"Ossora?" Zovic bunched his brows and said, "Your Lordship has met him in the Omphalos at the heart of the Fringe. Ossora even ceded one of his Sovereign Shops to Your Lordship. Ossora seems to be trying his best to build a good relationship with us. As the other Sovereign of the Fringe, if he is willing to help us deal with Salas, we won't have to leave in such a hurry."
"But is this person trustworthy?" asked Han Mu. "What's Ossora's reputation in the Fringe?"
"Erm … This person is rather low-key. Compared to the other four Sovereigns, Ossora is one of the more approachable ones. Perhaps, Ossora is really sincere … "said Zovic. After all, he wasn't the leader of the party and he didn't dare to make decisions for them.
"We can't take this risk. Let's leave," said Han Jin after a moment of hesitation. After a short pause, Han Jin said, "Little Wood, tell Ossora that we will temporarily retreat. If he is willing to help us, tell him to stop Salas from destroying the Pandemonium."
"I understand!" Han Mu closed his eyes and communicated with Ossora again.
Ten seconds later, Han Mu opened his eyes and said, "Ossora has agreed. Let's go!"
The party was puzzled. They didn't understand why Ossora would help them so much at a time like this. But knowing that time was of the essence, they didn't talk about it. They all entered the tunnel that Han Tu had opened and headed deeper into the earth.
… …
In a mountain range thousands of miles away from the Empyrean Peak, there was a patch of dried mud.
For the past few months, the mud here had been emitting a foul stench. Humans and beasts would fall into the mud if they weren't careful. But now, this patch of mud seemed to have been dried up by fire.
In the cold night, a strange creaking sound suddenly came from the ground. After a while, a hand penetrated through the cracked mud and emerged from the ground.
"Kacha!" With a loud sound, the entire silt field seemed to have been lifted up by someone, and dust filled the sky.
A majestic figure emerged from the dust. His eyes were cold and sinister but the corners of his mouth were curved into a gentle smile. He had a devilish demeanor.
Han Shuo raised his head and looked at the night sky. He mumbled to himself, "Although my realm isn't stable and I haven't fully grasped the new energy, it should be enough to deal with Salas."
As soon as he finished those words, Han Shuo soared into the sky and flew towards the Empyrean Peak at a speed that surpassed the limits of his physical body.
He covered the distance of a thousand miles in an instant.
But when he stood on the Empyrean Peak, he discovered that it was empty. There was not a single trace of life. After pondering for a moment, Han Shuo's expression changed. He suddenly thought of another possibility. He hastily rushed towards the Pandemonium.
