CHAPTER 516: A Whole New World

A strange new world appeared before Han Shuo's eyes. At first glance, all he saw were plants that were so hideous that they resembled the devils and fiends. Their leaves and branches were lined with thorns that resembled the fangs of abyssal creatures. Such a sight, however, did not evoke the sense of wonder of a lush, vibrant forest, but rather a bloodthirsty aura.

Stinking swamps littered the ground, bubbling like boiling water, each bubble bursting to release a kind of miasmic green smoke.

The sky was completely cloudless. There was no sun or moon. There were only cyclones of various colours and sizes spinning high in the air. The thin atmosphere was filled with a foul smell. More importantly, piercing hoots and screeches like those of bloodthirsty owls could be heard in the distance.

Han Shuo stood at the foot of a mountain saturated with abyssal creatures. Behind him was a dark cave with a fanged opening about 12 feet across.

Observing his surroundings, Han Shuo noticed all kinds of bizarre abyssal creatures all over the mountain. The scene was similar to what Han Shuo had seen in the netherworld, where undead creatures came out within a hundred miles of the magnificent mountain at the summoning of Little Skeleton. Each of these abyssal creatures had their cold, bloodthirsty eyes fixed on the huge cave behind Han Shuo.

Deafening screams ripped through the air from the cave. Turning his head to see what all the commotion was about, Han Shuo discovered that the spatial fluctuations within this hideous cave were becoming increasingly violent, shaking the entire mountain with the tremors.

Dong Dong... Dong Dong...

Strange sounds emanated from the base of the mountain. Han Shuo's eyes scanned the mountain until he found the source of the sound.

A six metre tall humanoid abyssal creature had been straining at his neck, screaming loudly. Its knees, elbows and shoulders were armoured with hook-like projections. It had three eyes on its triangular head and a multi-coloured giant python coiled around its waist. Only upon closer inspection did Han Shuo discover that the giant python wrapped around his waist was fused to his body. It was a tail!

The three-eyed creature was actively retreating towards the outer ring. It seemed to be the true master of these abyssal creatures. At the sound of the church bells, all the tens of thousands of abyssal creatures roaming the mountain immediately fled.

Even though they were separated by hundreds of metres, when Han Shuo looked at this three-eyed humanoid abyssal creature, a dismal chill ran through his heart. That alone was enough for Han Shuo to gauge its strength.

Despite his uncertainty as to the exact strength of the creature he was up against, he was certain of one thing: with his current injuries, he was no match for this humanoid abyssal creature.

At the command of their true leader, the abyssal creatures all over the mountain followed him, fleeing as the mountain could be destroyed at any moment by the collapsing space-time. As the destructive force from the cave behind him grew stronger, Han Shuo dared not stay a moment longer himself. And since he was not too confident that he could follow the humanoid abyssal creature, he flew off in the opposite direction.

About five acres later, an earth-shattering thunderclap shook the ground from behind. Han Shuo discovered that the thousand metre peak had collapsed into rubble. Many of the abyssal creatures that had just descended to the base of the mountain were buried alive.

As the mountain collapsed, rocks were sent flying while clouds of dust rose into the sky. The explosion was so powerful that even giant boulders rained down like giant hailstones. Even the Abyssal creatures who had already fled the mountain were not unscathed. Hundreds of thousands of abyssal creatures were smashed to pieces.

The abyssal creature at the forefront had made no visible movement. However, its body was automatically surrounded by a defensive circle, much like a barrier. When oncoming rocks, no matter how large or powerful, came into contact with the defensive circle around his body, they were reduced to dust.

Its power is unmistakable! So it seems that there are high-level creatures in the Abyss after all, Han Shuo secretly marvelled.

One thing was for sure, this high-level Abyssal Creature was as intelligent as it was powerful. From the beginning to the end, it never stepped forward. All the while, it remained behind the battlefield, commanding its subordinates to attack Han Shuo as well as the falcon-like abyssal creatures to rip his Blood Seether. Furthermore, the speed with which it sensed the collapse of space-time and its immediate order to retreat were telltale signs of highly intelligent life forms.

Any intelligent species would generally be very cautious. This high-level abyssal creature was no exception. Otherwise, if it had decided to attack Han Shuo, Han Shuo would surely not have been able to hold out until now.

Suddenly, the humanoid creature turned its head and stared in Han Shuo's direction. After the collapse of the mountain between the two of them, there were not many obstacles between them except for the raging tide of abyssal creatures. Han Shuo could actually feel it as he watched the hatred burst out of those three eyes.

Han Shuo was once again startled. His consciousness had not been affected by the injuries to his physical body. Very soon, using his consciousness, he realised that the abyssal creature had been watching his every move, and with undisguised hostility at that.

What surprised Han Shuo even more was that this high-level abyssal creature did nothing. On the contrary, it turned around and ordered its subordinates to continue moving in the opposite direction of Han Shuo, leaving this scarred and battered area.

Han Shuo was sure that he had a plan of his own. This cunning, treacherous, cruel, high-ranking abyssal creature was far more difficult to deal with than these low-ranking creatures who only knew how to follow orders.

Han Shuo took a deep breath of relief. If he had to fight such a powerful opponent with his injuries, Han Shuo was sure that it would be quite difficult for him to keep his demon infant unharmed. He headed in the opposite direction of the abyssal creature.

Han Shuo was completely unfamiliar with this world. In order to survive in such a strange place, Han Shuo first had to regain his strength. Therefore, his first priority was to find a safe, secluded hiding place where he could recover from his injuries as quickly as possible. Only then could he begin to slowly explore and understand this new world.

All along the way, Han Shuo was shocked and alarmed by the sight of the hideous yet lush plants, the swamps, and the oddly shaped mountains and hills everywhere. The flora and fauna of this world were far more terrifying than those of the Profound Continent. Even some of the mountains and swamps here emitted an indescribable stench.

Aside from the tides of abyssal creatures he had seen earlier, Han Shuo saw creatures far more grotesque along the way. These creatures were quite aggressive in nature, as if they spent most of their time fighting. He even spotted a huge grotesque plant that was violently dragging a spider-like horned abyssal creature into the ground and swallowing it up with its roots. Han Shuo was sure that these plants were not only ominous on the surface!

This world followed the law of the jungle to the extreme! Here, killing was a constant occurrence. Whether it was the plants or the creatures, there was no telling when they would suddenly strike and devour any living prey.

The Profound Continent was simply an ideal, peaceful, utopian world compared to this place! If these abyssal creatures were allowed to set foot on the Profound Continent, Han Shuo was certain that not a single species there would be able to withstand this kind of unimaginable brutality. He believed that only beings like himself who had attained demigod strength would be strong enough to survive in such a brutal world.

Even after flying for a long time, Han Shuo had yet to escape this area. Perhaps that was just the nature of this world. After some thought, Han Shuo decided to find a place to rest first.

Suddenly, a swamp with gurgling mist rising from it caught Han Shuo's eye. A faint green miasma hung over the vast swamp. Wrapping a protective shield around himself, Han Shuo isolated his body from the green, acidic miasma and slowly descended into the swamp, preparing to drill into the ground below and open an underground chamber for recuperation.

Sigh... it would be wonderful if the Earth Elite Zombie were here. I wouldn't have to waste the slightest bit of energy before a quiet, safe and spacious chamber deep underground was ready, Han Shuo thought.

Suddenly, a light bulb flashed in Han Shuo's mind. Right, in that space-time discontinuity region earlier, I was unable to make contact with the netherworld due to the chaotic energy affecting space-time, but now I have left that area. It stands to reason that there should be no problem for me to contact the netherworld.

Most importantly, Han Shuo felt that the aura of death in this world was much richer than in the Profound Continent. In such a place, casting necromancy magic should be no problem at all. And theoretically, the power of these spells would be greater.

Consumed by this concern, Han Shuo tried to communicate with the netherworld. Through the abstruse connection he had with Little Skeleton, Han Shuo immediately sensed him.

"Father, what's going on?" To his confusion, Little Skeleton's dubious question finally reached him.

Generally, whenever Han Shuo communicated with the Little Skeleton on the Profound Continent, he could only vaguely sense the presence of the Little Skeleton, as they were separated by many planes of existence. It was impossible to make direct contact between the two planes. It never occurred to him that after arriving in this strange world, he could receive the Little Skeleton's message immediately after sensing its presence.

Perhaps it was because he was in this new world, or perhaps the Little Skeleton had reached a new level; Han Shuo wasn't exactly sure what the reason was. Regardless, he was filled with joy.

With no one to communicate with and no familiar scenery to see, as well as the fact that the road to the Profound Continent had been cut off, Han Shuo's heart had been consumed by an inexhaustible sense of loneliness ever since he arrived in this world. Only now, when he received the message from the little skeleton, did that terrible feeling of loneliness dissolve.

"Father, where are you? It's not right, aren't you on profound continent?" While Han Shuo was filled with joy, another message from the little skeleton was transmitted. This message was somewhat urgent; it was obvious that the Little Skeleton was very concerned about Han Shuo's safety.

"Hahaha, due to my negligence, I have arrived at a new plane. But don't worry, I'm fine for now. Wait until I have recovered, then I will explain everything to you," Han Shuo reassured the little skeleton.

In the next moment, Han Shuo felt a sudden monstrous rage coming from the little skeleton. This anger came rather abruptly and was extremely fierce, as if the little Skeleton was about to cross the infinite distance and appear in front of Han Shuo. As if it would crush Han Shuo's enemy, anyone who had dared to hurt Han Shuo, into dust.

"Father, who hurt you?" The little skeleton in the netherworld flared up. A terrifying aura erupted from his body. All the high-level undead creatures in the undead palace began to tremble. Unable to react, they knelt down in front of Little Skeleton. They stayed where they were, not daring to move an inch.

An inexplicable warmth suddenly rushed into Han Shuo's heart. Feeling the Little Skeleton's towering anger, Han Shuo assured him, "Don't worry, I will go back and make them pay. Just focus on your evolution. I know that with just one more step forward, you will become a true god. Then we, father and son, will fight side by side."

Han Shuo broke contact with Little Skeleton on his own. He didn't even summon the Earth Elite Zombie for fear that they would also be too concerned about his injuries. Han Shuo's body slowly sank into the swamp. It was only after he had gone another hundred metres deep into the swamp that Han Shuo dug out a hiding place to use demonic arts to heal his physical injuries.
