Great Demon King

One was certain to step into the Misty Sea while traveling to the Fringe from the Death Dominion. After traversing the Misty Sea and crossing two towering mountains, one would officially step out of the Death Dominion.

The sea was called the Misty Sea because every inch of it was constantly shrouded by a thick mist connecting the surface of the sea to the sky. The mist was so thick and dense that even the most intense sunlight could not reach the sea.

The vast ocean was home to innumerable bizarre and odd sea creatures. There were a number of non-human races that lived at the depths of the sea all year. They would never step ashore or interact with beings that lived on land.

It was very easy to lose one’s way in the Misty Sea. There was no monument or landmark for reference, but endless stretches of confusing whiteness. Gods traveling alone in the sea, without adequate strength, would most likely become prey to the godhunters and lose their lives in the Misty Sea.

One day, while journeying home from the Death Dominion, Han Shuo finally came to the Misty Sea. He gazed at the endless whiteness that veiled the sea and noticed that the mist was much more intense than the last time he was there.

In addition, he noticed that the elements of death and darkness were somewhat more intense than in the past. He was also surprised to discover that no godhunters were wandering aimlessly around the sea looking for prey.

Months ago, while entering the Death Dominion, Han Shuo discovered many godhunters lurking in the Misty Sea. A few of them were even foolish enough to provoke him. After Han Shuo slaughtered those fools, he simply cast their bodies into the sea and gave the massive sea creatures a feast.

Many godhunters would patrol the Misty Sea in groups. Thanks to the natural visual obstacle, no one could see them coming or avoid them. And once they run into a prey, they would attack in a group. If their prey turned out to be stronger, they could easily use the mist to escape.

It was as though the ocean was made for godhunters!

Soon after entering the Misty Sea, Han Shuo started going around and scanned the sea with his consciousness. He detected no life forms other than sea creatures. He thought that it was rather regrettable and he found it a little strange.

Han Shuo was astonished. He did not expect that there would be three overgods hiding in ambush.

In the next instance, a stream of lightning bolts shot through the mists. It then split up into thousands of lightning bolts and weaved a giant net on the sky.

Han Shuo was not familiar with the death, destruction, or the darkness auras. But Han Shuo was familiar with the aura on the lightning bolts and immediately figured out who deployed the lighting energy barrier. He raised his head, looked at the sky, and shouted, “So it turns out to be you, Salas! I must admit, I’m quite surprised that you could recover so quickly and even find three powerful assistants to assault me. You must have schemed long and hard for this.”

The majestic figure of Salas gradually appeared in the mist. He stared down at Han Shuo from high in the sky and put on a smirk, “Well, you got it wrong, kid. It’s not me who planned the assault – it’s the other three. I’m just tagging along!”

Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment and with one thought, he immediately understood the situation. He suddenly burst into laughter and said, “I see! It seems that my butchering of the godhunters has finally provoked a counterattack from the high-ups. Haha, it’s just that I did not expect the counterattack to be so fierce!”

Soon, a colossal figure gradually appeared from the dark. He had a pair of cold green eyes that looked as though two green crescent moons, staring down at Han Shuo. His terrifying aura of destruction seemed to be stirring the seawater, causing them to move around erratically.

Next, the boundless darkness grew more and more intense. A massive dark figure enveloped by the most intense element of darkness gradually appeared. Only his vague outline could be seen.

Shortly after, a throne made of bones appeared out of nowhere. A figure wearing a white mask whose body was wrapped by an intense aura of death sat on it. The aura of death was constantly moving around, giving the person an indefinite outline.

The three overgods showed up one after another. They would wear a mask or hide under the darkness, not revealing their true appearances. It seemed the Hegemons were very cautious about revealing their identities.

After the three Hegemon showed up, Han Shuo turned to the colossal figure and smilingly shouted, “Hey, it’s you! I’ve seen you before!”

Back then when Han Shuo lived in the City of Shadows, Han Shuo discovered a Godhunter Alliance base and he brought Erebus, Aobashi, and the others to flatten it. The colossal figure showed up in the underground palace in the base and it nearly killed them all.

And when Han Shuo was still a mortal, when he was still on the Profound Continent, this massive figure had also appeared in the Cemetery of Death. It tried to make Han Shuo surrender his soul and become its slave.

Han Shuo did not expect that after so many years, he would meet this overgod of destruction face to face in the Misty Sea.

By now, Han Shuo could tell that the colossal figure was just a hallucination created to mask his real appearance. But as his strength was extremely terrifying, most experts cannot tell that it was a hallucination and thought that he was actually that massive.

When facing such a colossal figure with such mighty energy, those who had weak minds would easily be intimidated and surrender their souls to serve him. Even Han Shuo back then was terrified of the colossal figure that seemed to wield infinite power.

“Indeed, we have met before. How unexpected, a character as insignificant as an ant could soar in strength in such little time, even to the point of threatening our Alliance,” a slow, aged voice sounded from the colossal figure. He sounded rather impressed.
