Back when Han Shuo left the City of Shadows, he had made up his mind that he would never bow down to anyone again. Although Yarus was much more magnanimous than Wallace, Han Shuo was not willing to bet his Han family on the City of Gorging Clouds.
Moreover, Han Shuo was not impressed by Yarus' strength. How could Han Shuo be willing to submit to Yarus' City of Gorging Clouds?
Yarus shook his head and sighed in disappointment when he heard Han Shuo's refusal. However, Larikson, Hofs, and Wallace heaved a sigh of relief. It was as though a heavy burden had been lifted from their hearts.
"He really doesn't know what's good for him. Elder Brother, there's no need to waste your breath on him. He deserves to die!" Larikson laughed.
Yarus looked at Han Shuo regretfully and helplessly said, "I was sincere in inviting you to join the City of Gorging Clouds. But since you have refused, I have no choice but to kill you right here and now. My family will not allow an expert like you to live. My apologies!"
"Don't worry about it. Show me what you have got. Let's see if you can keep me here today!" said Han Shuo in a heroic manner. He did not seem to be worried at all.
Layers upon layers of boundaries had isolated all elemental energies. Even space itself seemed to be frozen solid. Even an expert who cultivated in the edict of space and possessed a space scroll would not be able to unleash it. It appeared that Yarus and the others had come up with a foolproof plan to block off all avenues of escape for Han Shuo.
"Brian, you can't escape. The boundaries here can stop anyone from leaving. Unless you can break through the one hundred and twenty layers, you can only passively receive our attacks!" said Wallace mockingly as he looked coldly at Han Shuo.
"Wallace, you haven't told Carmelita and Andre that you and Ralph have come to the City of Gorging Clouds, have you? Haha, what do you think they will think if they know that you are going to do this to me? "Han Shuo put on a relaxed smile.
Wallace's expression slightly changed when he heard Han Shuo mention Carmelita and Andre. It appeared that Han Shuo had touched a sore spot. "I will take care of the affairs of the House of Sainte. You don't have to worry about it! Hmph! Carmelita and Andre are short-sighted and have been bewitched by your flowery words. However, it is only a matter of time before they realize all that I have done for the House of Sainte! "Wallace said with a sullen face. Rather than reprimanding Han Shuo, those words were more like comforting himself.
Han Shuo nodded and did not say anything else. He had brought up Carmelita and Andre not because he hoped that Wallace would let him go, but because he wanted to confirm with Wallace that Carmelita and Andre knew nothing about the matter.
This way, at least, Han Shuo would not be too disappointed. Emily and Phoebe had previously told him that they had not received any response after sending out their distress letters. The hearts of men were sinister, and he was not sure if Andre and Carmelita were involved in this matter. Now that Wallace had denied it himself, Han Shuo knew that the two of them were indeed unaware.
As for Aobashi and Erebus, as they were sent away, Han Shuo was certain that they knew nothing about what happened in Fort Lasberg.
"Now that things have come to this, there is no need for me to hold back," Han Shuo said. Yarus knew that there was no point in trying to persuade Han Shuo any further. He softly instructed, "Darkwater, Darkstone, please come over here."
Two dark figures suddenly appeared beside Yarus. They were dressed in black and had gloomy faces. They looked exactly the same and cultivated in the energy of darkness. Although they were both late-stage highgods, the closer they stood to one another, the stronger the energy of darkness on their bodies became. It was a very peculiar phenomenon.
Darkwater and Darkstone were twin brothers. They were the City Lords of Blackwater City and Blackrock City respectively. The twins were second only to Yarus in fame in the City of Shadows. It was said that the God of Darkness had placed an identical brand in their divine souls. When the two joined forces, they could unleash extraordinary power.
The twins were telepathically connected. They cultivated in the energy of darkness and were both late-stage highgods. Furthermore, they were imbued with the same brand by the God of Darkness. It was only because they were identical that their combined strength would multiply.
Han Shuo slightly bunched his brows when he saw Darkwater and Darkstone. His face turned a little grave.
Han Shuo, of course, knew that the two had been hiding in the dark. However, as the two were in two different directions, Han Shuo did not pay too much attention to them as they were just two highgods.
However, when the two suddenly dashed out from the darkness and closed the distance between them, Han Shuo suddenly discovered that the divine energy in their bodies had increased by an unbelievable amount. The aura of darkness on their bodies was rapidly converging. When the two stood beside Yarus, Han Shuo discovered that the aura of darkness and divine energy in their bodies had far surpassed that of Hofs and Wallace. Although it was not as dense as Yarus' overgod realm, it was clearly beyond the realm of highgods.
Yarus alone was already rather difficult to deal with. Now that the two City Lords had joined the fray, and there were more than a hundred layers of boundaries, Han Shuo immediately realized that it would be much more difficult to break through the layers of boundaries.
"Brian, I will ask you one more time. Do you really want to be my enemy?" The smile on Yarus' face slowly faded. His expression became unprecedentedly grave. He had revealed all his trump cards in the hope that Han Shuo would be able to see the situation clearly.
Han Shuo laughed involuntarily and said to Yarus, "Do you really think you can trap me with the addition of the two of them?"
Yarus shook his head and replied, "Not trap you, but kill you!"
"Haha, let's see how you plan to kill me!" Han Shuo laughed heartily. He raised his head to look at the dark aura that was pressing down on him and said, "Do you really think that my strength will decrease just because you have isolated all elemental energies in this area? Haha, come, let me see what you have up your sleeves! "
The elements in this space were isolated, and there was only an endless amount of dark energy in all directions, like a black mountain pressing down on them. Any other god cultivating in the elemental energy would have their strength greatly reduced in this isolated area. They would have to rely on the divine energy in their bodies to resist.
Without the replenishment of elemental energy, every ounce of divine energy that was consumed would be depleted. Once the divine energy in one's body was depleted, even the strongest expert would become extremely weak. Then, they would be at the mercy of others and become meat on a chopping board.
"Good, he is indeed a formidable character. But it is a pity that he will die here today!" Yarus praised. He turned to Darkwater, Darkstone, Hofs, and Wallace and said, "I will deploy the Black Hole Vortex. All you need to do is pour your darkness divine energy into the vortex from the sky and you will be able to continuously increase the power of the Black Hole Vortex. When the Black Hole Vortex comes crashing down, all the dark energy will mince everything in its path in the most frenzied manner. He will die without a doubt!"
Darkwater, Darkstone, Wallace, Hofs, and a few other experts cultivating in the energy of darkness nodded in understanding. They knew how powerful Yarus was and how terrifying his ultimate skill, the Black Hole Vortex, was.
Yarus said no more. He suddenly closed his eyes and sat on the spot. Wisps of gloomy aura flew out from his body and fell into the endless darkness shrouding the boundary. As soon as the wisps of dark energy were injected into the absolute darkness above Han Shuo's head, the aura of darkness seemed to be pushed by many forces and formed a vortex that slowly rotated.
At the same time, Darkwater, Darkstone, Wallace, and Hofs who had long been prepared did not stand idle. Wisps of dark energy flew out from their bodies and landed on the area above Han Shuo. They fell into the vortex that had just started rotating.
After the energy of darkness flew out from Darkwater and Darkstone's bodies, they strangely twisted together like hemp ropes. The two's energies became several times more powerful than Hofs and Wallace's energies alone. They were ten times more powerful than the combined energies of Hofs and Wallace.
Wisps of dark energy were injected into the vortex above Han Shuo's head. The originally slow rotation of the vortex grew faster and faster. It was as though the void above Han Shuo's head had been torn into an endless black hole. Terrifying energy kept accumulating as though it was going to devour the entire world.
Yarus himself was an overgod. Darkwater and Darkstone were extremely powerful when they joined forces. In addition to Hofs, Wallace, and a few other powerful highgods, their combined strength was beyond Han Shuo's expectations. They were much stronger than when Salas, Wasis, and Han Shuo fought.
They had gathered all their energies together, intending to grind Han Shuo into pieces with a single strike. The energy in the vortex of darkness that was accumulating energy grew more and more terrifying. Han Shuo's heart grew heavier and heavier.
Han Shuo really couldn't think of a way to deal with this frightening force. The seventeen flying swords had long flown out of his body and were bombarding the hundred-plus layers of boundaries that bound the space. However, the hundred-plus layers of boundaries were extremely tough. The seventeen flying swords simply couldn't destroy them all at once.
"Fight!" In that split second, Han Shuo made up his mind. He finally decided to use all of his and Cauldron Spirit's power.
The seventeen flying swords no longer bombarded the layers of boundaries. Han Shuo withdrew them and sat cross-legged on the ground. The demonic infant, the foundation of demonic arts cultivation, slowly flew out from his body. Thousands of strands of his consciousness transformed into rays of dark light and surged into the demonic infant, bestowing all of Han Shuo's essence, energy, and soul to the demonic infant.
The demonic infant slowly flew out from the top of Han Shuo's head. A phantom identical to Han Shuo drifted erratically and grew longer and longer.
At the same time, hundreds and thousands of demon generals whizzed out of the Cauldron of Myriad Demon and disappeared into the demonic infant. The demonic infant, which was originally the size of an infant, grew larger and larger after receiving the energy of hundreds and thousands of demon generals. In no time at all, the demonic infant had become a giant that hovered dozens of meters in the air.
The terrifying energy of coldness, coldness, ruthlessness, and bloodlust suddenly filled the entire City of Gorging Clouds. The more than a hundred layers of boundaries seemed to be unable to obstruct the demonic infant's destructive energy.
"Heehee …" The demonic infant suddenly let out a shrill howl after receiving the energy of all the demon generals.
The howl broke through the layers of boundaries. In an instant, many gods of the House of Broadhurst bled from their seven orifices and died on the spot.
