A year passed by in the blink of an eye. During this time, Han Shuo had been staying in Tanai Pandemonium. He had been working with the Five Elite Zombies to set up the Pandemonium and meditating on the differences in his new realm.
After entering the Skybreak realm, Han Shuo could clearly feel the changes in his body. Every strand of demonic yuan in his body was much stronger than before. It gave Han Shuo an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
In this new realm, Han Shuo's "Invincible Omen Body" was finally nearing completion. No matter how sudden the attack was, the "Invincible Omen Body" would be able to protect his body in a timely manner. When there was no danger, his demonic body would remain relaxed and wouldn't waste any magical yuan.
What delighted Han Shuo the most was that not only could the Invincible Omen Body proactively defend against attacks, it could also generate the power to counterattack. No matter who it was, as long as they wanted to harm him, they would face the power of the Invincible Omen Body's counterattack.
Han Shuo experimented on Romont, who had a relatively stronger body. Han Shuo sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, meditating and not thinking about anything else. He calmed his mind and gave Romont the opportunity to attack.
Romont approached and suddenly attacked Han Shuo. When his ferocious attack landed on Han Shuo's body, an overwhelming force erupted from Han Shuo's body. Romont was sent flying by the rebounding force. His eardrums were ringing and he saw stars.
As Han Shuo couldn't estimate the force of the counterattack, he didn't dare to go too deep and let Romont attack with all his might. But judging from the fact that Romont didn't dare to attack again after using the Invincible Omen Body, Han Shuo reckoned that the force of the counterattack was not small.
From this point of view, after reaching the Skybreak realm, not only did Han Shuo's state of mind and strength improve tremendously, he had also reached the mastery level of the Invincible Omen Body.
In the future, even if Han Shuo didn't have to be vigilant, he wouldn't have to worry about any sneak attacks. Anyone who dared to harm him, as long as they were weak, would fall into a trap of their own making and might even lose their lives in vain.
During the year, Han Shuo spent his time laying out the Pandemonium. The Five Elite Zombies added many deadly demonic formations to the Pandemonium. Perhaps it was due to Han Shuo's influence, or perhaps the Five Elite Zombies had gained some enlightenment while laying out demonic formations, but all of them made breakthroughs and were on the verge of becoming highgods.
The five elite zombies were different from others. Due to the unique energy within their bodies and the fact that they could form the Penta-elemental Undead Formation, the Penta-elemental Undead Formation would become even more terrifying as long as their strength increased. Every time the five made a breakthrough, it meant that the power of the Penta-elemental Undead Formation would increase severalfold.
After a year, the Five Elite Zombies stayed in the Pandemonium and focused on stabilizing their realm. They had made the breakthrough from mid-stage midgod to late-stage midgod, hoping to advance even further and possess even greater power.
In Tanai, the elemental energy between heaven and earth was denser than anywhere else. Rose and the others had benefited tremendously. Many of the gods cultivating in the Pandemonium had gained new insights into the mysteries of energy and made breakthroughs in their realms.
The concentration of elemental energy in the Pandemonium was dozens of times higher than anywhere else. Not only did the elemental energy in the Pandemonium increase the rate of elemental energy gathering, but they could also sense the changes in themselves. Even Rose seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough. She stayed in the gymnasium for months at a time.
Other than the Five Elite Zombies, Rose had spent the longest time with Han Shuo. She had experienced many battles and battles. Every time she faced death, Rose would have a clearer understanding of herself. After such a long time, she finally felt the calling of a new realm. She was preparing to enter the late-stage highgod realm.
During that year, news about Han Shuo had been circulating in every region of the Fringe. Anyone who talked about Han Shuo would speak with reverence. They regarded Han Shuo as an existence on par with the Five Sovereigns. Some youngsters even idolized Han Shuo. Many of those with decent strength even went to the Pandemonium to follow Han Shuo.
Han Shuo left the management of the Fringe to Zovic and Goron. If there were extraordinary talents and clean identities, Han Shuo would let them stay. After all, Han Shuo had planned to make a big splash in the Fringe and he needed more manpower to handle all kinds of emergencies.
Other than Han Shuo, there was another person who had made a name for himself in the Fringe this year – Little Skull Han Hao.
Salas had been missing ever since he left the Pandemonium. No one knew where he had gone. It was as though he had vanished into thin air. No one had seen him in the Fringe for a year. Even his most loyal subordinates had not received any news about Salas.
There were many rumors about Salas' disappearance. Some said that he was hiding in an unknown region to recover his energy. Others said that he was afraid of Han Shuo and had left the Fringe. There were many rumors about Salas, but none of them could be verified.
Salas had disappeared without a trace. His subordinates were disheartened and could no longer act as they pleased in the Fringe. Salas's subordinates had suffered greatly in the past year. Some powerful enemies who had misgivings about Salas had taken advantage of Salas after Salas had fallen from power to force them into hiding.
As for Han Shuo, he was the most frightening person to be chased by!
He wasn't motivated by hatred but by the wealth Salas had left behind. Leading a group of godhunters, Han Hao wreaked havoc in the Fringe. Many of Salas's subordinates were killed by Han Hao's men. Most of the wealth Salas had left behind fell into Han Hao's hands.
Other than Han Hao, the other four Sovereigns were also drooling over the wealth Salas had left behind. They had also dispatched their subordinates to target Han Hao's wealth. However, it seemed that the subordinates of the other four Sovereigns weren't as capable as Han Hao. Their gains couldn't be compared to Han Hao's.
The subordinates of the Sovereigns were all domineering and ruthless people in the Fringe. However, it seemed that they had received some sort of order. None of them attacked Han Hao who had suddenly risen to power. They allowed Han Hao to compete with them for Salas's wealth but did not kill Han Hao. They maintained a tacit understanding of not interfering with each other's business.
None of the other four Sovereigns in the Fringe were easy to deal with. Although they did not know the true relationship between Han Hao and Han Shuo, after some investigation, they knew that Han Hao and Han Shuo had a close relationship because the energy they used was very similar in some aspects.
Just this alone was enough!
Therefore, the four Sovereigns had tacitly instructed their subordinates not to get into a conflict with Han Hao over Salas. Naturally, they weren't worried about Han Hao, who had recently shown off his abilities, but Han Shuo, who had forced Salas into hiding.
Han Hao seemed to know what the four Sovereigns were thinking. He would not deliberately provoke or get into a conflict with the subordinates of the four Sovereigns. When he encountered Ossora's subordinates, Han Hao would be very friendly and even share some of the profits with them.
To Han Hao, although he wasn't in Tanai, he had long regarded the Pandemonium as his home. In any case, Ossora had protected the Pandemonium. Not only did Han Shuo feel indebted to him, but even Han Hao, who had not entered the Pandemonium, had a favorable impression of Ossora. He was willing to share some of the profits with Ossora's subordinates.
… …
A year later, at the checkpoint of the Omphalos at the center of the Fringe, Han Shuo was leisurely walking towards the checkpoint.
The checkpoint was guarded by one of Logue's subordinates. It was obvious that he did not recognize Han Shuo. When Han Shuo arrived, the guard coldly shouted, "Pay the black crystal coins!"
Han Shuo looked at the guard with interest. His smile was as gentle as ever, but his words sounded rather arrogant, "My apologies, but I will not pay a single black crystal coin in Tanai in the future!"
Upon hearing those words, the mid-stage highgod who cultivated in the energy of water put on a cold face. With a wave of his hand, a group of divine guards surrounded Han Shuo with malicious intentions. "Do you have a death wish?" Shouted the guard coldly and blocked Han Shuo's path. It seemed that he was ready to attack Han Shuo.
"Let Logue come and collect black crystal coins from me. You people are not qualified to do so," replied Han Shuo with the same smile on his face. He was not the least bit enraged. He merely felt that these guards were indeed discerning.
"You are courting death! How dare you address Lord Logue by his name!" the guard's face jolted. He shouted, "I don't care who he is, kill him! He has not entered the Omphalos so he is not breaking the rules! "
It was obvious that these subordinates of Logue did not recognize Han Shuo. They did not treat Han Shuo as a big shot. In their minds, anyone who entered the Omphalos would have to pay black crystal coins – except for the Five Sovereigns!
These people knew the Five Sovereigns very well and they did not think much of it. All they wanted was to protect the dignity of Sovereign Logue.
"You people are really courting death. You should know that the Fringe is no longer the same as before. Other than the Five Sovereigns, there is another person that you absolutely cannot afford to offend. Hehe, even if Logue were to come personally, I think he would still let Bryan enter the Omphalos courteously! "At this moment, a chuckle came from the Omphalos as Haruli slowly walked out.
Logue's subordinates did not know who Han Shuo was but they knew that Haruli was a well-known leader in the Fringe. The leader was rather surprised to hear Han Shuo's words. Then, he suddenly recalled someone and his face turned pale. He looked at Han Shuo in awe and asked, "Are you Mister Brian?"
Han Shuo smiled and did not answer his question. Instead, he asked, "I would like to know if you still dare to accept my black crystal coins."
"Of course not!" The guard's face was filled with fear. He hastily explained, "Our Lord has instructed that you are free to do whatever you want in the Fringe. Our Lord will not interfere!"
Han Shuo chuckled and nodded. He said, "That's good then!" After that, he leisurely walked into the Omphalos without even looking at the guard.
Logue's subordinates stepped aside to make way for him. Their movements were respectful and their faces were filled with awe.
