Chapter 904: How would it be over when you’re still alive?
Hill and the family clans patriarchs stood up from their seats in fright. They panically looked all around as though anticipating something to show up.
A chilling wind blew and the thin layer of barrier protecting the meeting room shattered while the energy towers that powered it exploded. The glistening energy crystals scattered everywhere.
Every defense protecting the meeting room crumbled in an instant. Immediately following that, a sinister, ruthless energy flooded the chamber and displaced every elemental energy. Those in the meeting room who were the most influential and powerful characters in Witherbone City felt shivers traveling down their spines. They were unable to assemble elemental energies to effectively defend and attack.
Then, finally, Han Shuo made an appearance. He calmly walked towards those people belonging to the highest echelon of their society as though he was talking a walk in his own backyard.
“What?” Hill’s heart sank. In a rather anxious voice, he asked, “Haven’t you left Witherbone City? What have you come back for?”
Hill knew that Han Shuo’s strength far surpassed his and everyone else in the room combined. He was afraid for anyone who made an appearance by immediately destroying every defense surely wasn’t there to make friends.
“Good, excellent, everybody’s here. That’d save me from taking a few extra trips,” Han Shuo laughed grimly after he looked at the faces of those gathered in the meeting room and saw that all those who had been named by Dagassi as conspirators against the House of Han were all present.
“Bryan, what the hell do you want? Wasn’t the matter already settled? What more do you want?” Hill’s eyes were wavering. He had an ominous feeling that he wouldn’t be so lucky this time.
“How would it be settled when you are still alive?” remarked Han Shuo in chilling laughter. Then, when Hill’s face jolted, Han Shuo calmly launched his attacks. The upgraded Cyano Demonblaze whooshed out and the fierce, ghostly flames began engulfing Hill’s chest.
One may increase their divine energy, and thus their strength, through the power of faith, divine essences, or by devouring another cultivator’s divine energy as the godhunters do. But more often than not, the cultivation realm state was the true obstacle to making breakthroughs. Without gaining sufficient insights and understanding, no amount of divine energy would allow one to ascend to the next realm and gain greater strength.
But if one possessed sufficient understanding and knowledge, making breakthroughs was basically guaranteed as divine energy can be slowly accumulated with time.
Han Shuo thought about the idea carefully, examining its feasibility and risks. Moments later, Han Shuo became elated as he was certain that the idea was absolutely viable. He raised his head, laughed cheerfully, and started fantasizing the future. He could almost see every member of his Han Family standing proud and tall as highgods!
Han Shuo was perhaps the only person in the universe with such profound understanding and mastery towards the soul that would allow him to perform such an unnatural thing.
The patriarchs of every major family clan in Witherbone City were around Han Shuo as lifeless bodies. Hill the City Lord had his self-awareness wiped clean and his mindless soul was kept in a special container by Han Shuo like a living specimen.
Han Shuo did not stay in the City Lord’s Mansion for too long. After committing the murders, Han Shuo calmly and stealthily left the crime scene.
After quietly leaving Witherbone City, Han Shuo started traveling towards the Darkness Dominion at his top speed. Seven days later, Han Shuo appeared at the most powerful city of the Darkness Dominion – the City of Gorging Clouds.
Han Shuo’s target was Larikson of the House of Broadhurst. He was a late-stage highgod of destruction and he had once mounted a sneak attack on Han Shuo with Felder.
Han Shuo knew that Larikson would never let his House of Han off for Han Shuo had killed his son. This was evident in Larikson’s attempt to exterminate the House of Han by besieging Fort Lasberg. To spare his House of Han from potential troubles in the future, Han Shuo was determined to eliminate Larikson.
At first, Han Shuo thought that with his strength, getting rid of Larikson would be a piece of cake. But when he got to the Broadhurst Residence, he realized that it wouldn’t be anything as easy as what he did in Witherbone City.
The defensive boundary around the Broadhurst Residence was incredibly complex and strong. An eternal darkness made of intense element of darkness would float above the Residence like a giant canopy at all times.
With just one look, Han Shuo could tell that the Shield of Darkness protecting the Broadhurst Residence cannot be deployed by a highgod. He also vaguely sensed the presence of an extremely powerful darkness energy inside the Residence.
“So the hearsays are correct. Yarus, the City Lord of the City of Gorging Clouds has indeed entered the realm of overgod,” Han Shuo murmured to himself as he gazed at the Broadhurst Residence shrouded by darkness.
