Great Demon King

As one of the Sovereigns, Salas indeed was extremely valiant in strength. Only a few demonic formations could truly cause him harm. Salas was able to quickly overcome and destroy three demonic formations by means of his brute strength.

But not all demonic formations in the Pandemonium were built the same. After destroying three small formations, Salas stepped into a great formation powered using the Five Yuan Elemental Energies with a formation crux made of five highgod demon generals.

The elemental energies in the Pandemonium were much more concentrated than any other region. Salas noticed it as soon as he stepped into the Valley. He was able to access more elements of lightning which increased his power. But right now, Salas was disconnected from the elements of lightning in the environment.

A bizarre undulation spread around instantly after he stepped into the formation. Five energies surrounded him before quickly dispelling all the elements of lightning in the vicinity. Immediately, Salas knew he was in trouble.

Unable to access the energy of lightning in the Valley, Salas had no choice but to use the divine energy in his body to defend against every attack. He felt as though he had stepped into a foreign world. All kinds of attack methods he had never seen before bombarded him as though thousands of tsunamis.

Inside this space that was completely isolated from the outside world, Salas could neither sense the auras of his followers nor see a thing through the barrier. He could only passively defend himself against the constant bombardment of the Five Yuan Elemental Energies, consuming the divine energy in his body to protect his divine body and soul from harm.

Ossora who was about to step into the battle had his astonishment renewed as he discovered that Salas was not invincible to the Pandemonium. Gazing from high above the sky, he saw Salas suddenly sat cross-legged inside a region filled with brilliant lights. He was wearing a grave expression as though he was in deep trouble.

Ossora did not expect that the Pandemonium could pose a real threat to Salas. After seeing the sudden change in the situation, Ossora halted on his path and decided to not rush to be the hero. He again concealed himself and continued to observe the battle.

“Salas has fallen into a formation designed to exhaust the enemy’s energy. He is being blasted by the Yuan Energies that the Pandemonium has been gathering. Inside the great formation, he cannot use the lightning energy in the environment and is forced to utilize his divine energy to defend himself,” explained Han Mu to the party.

“I’m sure that before Salas could escape from the formation, more than half of his troops would have died. That is the price for trying to invade the Pandemonium!” said Han Huo.

“But, can he be trusted?” Han Mu seemed skeptical. He asked, “What’s his reputation like in the Fringe?”

“Hmm… He’s relatively low-profile and of the Five Sovereigns, Ossora is the most polite. I think he is sincere in helping us, “ replied Zovic.

“We cannot take this risk. Proceed with the evacuation,” said Han Jin after he thought for a moment, “Little Wood, tell Ossora that we are evacuating. If he really wants to help us, stop Salas from destroying the Pandemonium.”

“Got it!” Han Mu closed his eyes and communicated with Ossora. A dozen seconds later, Han Mu opened his eyes and smilingly said, “Ossora agreed. Let’s go!”

The party was rather perplexed. They did not understand why Ossora would take so much effort to help them. However, as they were in a hurry, they did not discuss the topic. The Pandemonians began flying into the underground tunnel that Han Tu made.

***

Inside a mountain range, several thousand miles from the Empyrean Peak was a piece of flaky dry land.

Just months ago, the land was saturated with water and sludgy. Any beasts or humans that accidentally stepped on it would sink into the mud. But now, the land was as dry as bone.

Under the cold night sky, strange cracking noises started playing from under the ground. Moments later, there was an explosion. As though a stick of dynamite was planted under the ground and ignited, dirt was sent flying in every direction and a crater was formed.

A majestic, masculine naked figure was revealed as the dust settled. He had a pair of chilling, sinister gazes but had a faint, amiable smile on his face. He carried a demonic yet bewitching demeanor.

He raised his head and gazed at the clear cold sky and said to himself, “Although the realm state is not stable and I have yet to fully comprehend my new power, it is enough to take care of Salas!”

Upon finishing those words, Han Shuo shot into the sky and flew towards the Empyrean Peak at an unfathomable speed.

The Empyrean Peak was thousands of miles away but Han Shuo took just moments to complete the journey.

However, Han Shuo discovered that there wasn’t a soul on the Mountain. He stood on the Mountain and thought for a moment. Suddenly, his face jolted and he immediately rushed towards the Pandemonium.
