Chapter 461
461: Concealing the Consciousness
In a rather short time, the energy contained within the sphere of destructive aura had fused with the main soul in the Demonslayer Edge. After the fusion of the main soul and the crystal of destruction, it flew back into Han Shuo’s body and again sank into hibernation stage.
The Demonslayer Edge was a demonic weapon closely tied with Han Shuo. It had now formed a main soul, and therefore gained its own intelligence. As the Demonslayer Edge was originally casted with Han Shuo’s blood essence and demonic yuan, the main soul would eternally serve Han Shuo as its master. Unless Han Shuo’s consciousness dissipated, the Demonslayer Edge would always be a demonic weapon for Han Shuo alone to use.
Han Shuo stared at his empty hand that had lost the sphere containing destructive energy, and thought to himself that this was a pretty good ending, and at least it wasn’t used to benefit outsiders. After absorbing the destructive energy in the round sphere, the Demonslayer Edge would no doubt only grow more terrifying. As a weapon that only he alone could use, the stronger the Demonslayer Edge became, the more advantageous it would be for Han Shuo.
Three Origin Crystals. One gifted to little skeleton, another fused with the main soul that just formed from Demonslayer Edge, and the last one belonging to Emily the dark magus. All three of them were people that Han Shuo could trust the most. Although Han Shuo’s consciousness could fuse with none of the three Origin Crystals, it could be said that his strength had improved indirectly.
To Han Shuo, who had originally planned to fuse with the Origin Crystal containing intense element of death, the Origin Crystals didn’t concern him anymore. The only thing that continued to worry Han Shuo was the threat of the six-horned tribal king of the Soul Race.
As long as Han Shuo remained inside the Cemetery of Death, the six-horned tribal king of the Soul Race couldn’t do anything to Han Shuo as he couldn’t detect the presence from Han Shuo’s body.
But the problem was, it was impossible for Han Shuo to stay within the Cemetery of Death forever. The moment he left the Cemetery of Death, the six-horned king would sense the position of Han Shuo’s soul. And when that happened, Han Shuo would have to confront this terrifying threat that he momentarily could not resist.
It seems I still need to purge that guy’s sense of my consciousness! Han Shuo thought and began sifting through the memory that Chu Cang Lan left to him for a way to tackle it.
As Han Shuo carefully went through the memories, it suddenly occurred to him that once he reached the next Nine changes realm in demonic arts, even if he didn’t seek a deliberate way, his consciousness would become undetectable by the six-horned king.
With that, Han Shuo really didn’t have much to worry about. Being in Carnal realm, Han Shuo longed to go all out with no restraints. Only by completely satisfying his desires could he break through from Carnal realm and reach the next Nine changes realm. Therefore, Han Shuo hardly exercised restraint to the desires from his heart, ready to start punching and kicking towards significant undertakings.
Historically, in the school of demonic arts, anyone who advanced to Nine changes realm would first completely set free all their longings while in Carnal realm. These people were more often than not ambitious and ruthless characters in their worlds. For dynasties, these elders of the school of demonic arts, all played important roles, the trendsetters of their times.
As Brettel City had its own transportation matrix, it was incredibly convenient to go back and forth to Ossen City. Han Shuo made use of the space magic transportation matrix and appeared in the capital city in the blink of an eye. Upon arriving at Ossen City, Han Shuo headed straight towards the Dark Mantle headquarters.
Before coming to Ossen City, Han Shuo learned from Dick that Emily now rarely executed missions herself. She was currently in charge of assigning and distributing tasks. The post was more relaxed and lacked a lot of dangers. It seemed that perhaps Emily had ridden on Han Shuo’s coattails a little, and therefore she could be so comfortable and relaxed.
Mount Ordas, Dark Mantle headquarters.
In three years, Han Shuo had turned into a legendary character in the Dark Mantle. Ever since he first stepped into the headquarters, while on his way, the people would look at him with a most revered expression in their eyes.
“Where is Lady Emily?” Han Shuo asked the guide who was bringing him to the Candide’s secret room.
The guide then recalled of Han Shuo and Emily’s relationship. He revealed a meaningful smile and replied to Han Shuo, “Lady Emily and Lord Candide’s place aren’t separated far from each other. Lord Bryan, where do you intend to go to first?”
“Bring me to Lady Emily’s secret chamber first,” Han Shuo instructed.
“Very well,” the guide answered respectfully. His gaze towards Han Shuo was filled with admiration coming from the bottom of his heart.
To these people, although the current Han Shuo was not the one of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, he was a character more honored than them.
