CHAPTER 906: Do Your Worst!

Han Shuo admired Yarus even more after hearing the invitation. However, Han Shuo shook his head firmly. He smilingly replied, "Thank you, I appreciate the kind offer, but my House of Han will not live under anyone's shadow, not anymore."

When Han Shuo left the City of Shadows, he was determined never to survive at the mercy of others again. Even though Yarus was nothing like Wallace, Han Shuo would not trust the safety of his House of Han to the City of Gorging Clouds.

Besides, Han Shuo was not too impressed by Yarus' strength. How would Han Shuo be willing to serve Yarus?

After Han Shuo declined the offer, Yarus sighed and bowed, shaking his head in disappointment. Meanwhile, Larikson, Hofs and Wallace heaved a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, this fool doesn't know how to appreciate kindness. Brother, let's not waste words with him. Idiots like him deserve to die," Larikson said.

Yarus looked at Han Shuo with regret. He said, "I was sincere in my invitation. You should know that I will have to end your life here if you refuse the offer."

"I understand. Go ahead and do your worst," Han Shuo said with great heroic spirit. He didn't take the danger around him seriously.

The layer upon layer of barriers that trapped him had isolated every elemental energy and made space-time inaccessible. Even an expert who had cultivated the Edict of Space could not escape by ripping space-time. Yarus and the others had made sure that Han Shuo could not escape their trap.

"There's no way you can get out of here, Bryan! Unless you can somehow break through the one hundred and twenty layers of barriers between us, you will have to passively suffer our attacks until you die!" said Wallace as he looked at Han Shuo with cold eyes.

"I suppose you haven't told Andre and Carmelita that you and Ralph are in the City of Gorging Clouds? Hehe, I wonder how they would feel if they knew what you are doing to me now," Han Shuo said smiling. He seemed very relaxed.

Wallace's expression changed when Han Shuo mentioned Andre and Carmelita. It was as if someone had pinched him where it hurt.

"The matter of our House of Sainte is none of your business! Hm, Carmelita and Andre are short-sighted and have been led astray by your tricks. But it's only a matter of time before they come to their senses and understand that I'm doing all this for the good of our family clan," Wallace replied. He seemed to be calming himself with these words rather than arguing with Han Shuo.

Han Shuo nodded and made no reply. He did not mention Carmelita and Andre in the hope that Wallace would let him off the hook, but rather to find out from Wallace if the two were aware of their patriarch's actions at all.

He had learned from Emily and Phoebe that Andre, Carmelita, Aobashi and Erebus had not responded to the House of Han's pleas for help. It was confirmed that Aobashi and Erebus had been sent away from the city before Fort Lasberg was attacked. After hearing these words from Wallace, Han Shuo was certain that Wallace must have somehow prevented them from receiving these messages. Han Shuo was glad to know that his friends had not betrayed him.

Seeing that Han Shuo was determined, Yarus understood that no amount of words could change Han Shuo's mind. He turned to his assistant and instructed, "Bring Darkwater and Darkstone over here.

Soon, two shadows moved towards Yarus from two directions before appearing beside him. The two wore all dark clothing and dark faces. Not only did they both possess Late-stage Highgod powers, but they both looked the same.

Darkwater and Darkstone were identical twins, and they were the City Lords of Darkwater City and Darkstone City respectively. In the Darkness Dominion, only Yarus had a greater reputation than the twins. Legend has it that the Darkness Overlord had left the identical twins a pair of identical Divine Brands, which would grant them special abilities.

When Darkwater and Darkstone appeared, Han Shuo's eyebrows furrowed slightly and his expression became more serious.

Han Shuo had been aware of the presence of the twins standing in the dark and far away from each other. Han Shuo thought that they were just another set of Highgods and did not consider them a serious threat.

But after they emerged from their hiding places, as they drew closer to each other, Han Shuo was shocked to discover that the divine energy in their bodies was growing exponentially in power, and the darkness aura was rapidly gathering around them. As they stood together next to Yarus, Han Shuo discovered that the power of their divine energy and darkness aura had far surpassed that of Hofs, Wallace, and other Highgods. Although their aura wasn't as intense as Yarus', its power was obviously beyond that of a Highgod.

The identical twins, whose minds were mysteriously linked, were both Dark Energy cultivators in the Late-stage Highgod realm. After the Overgod of Darkness imbued them with an identical Divine Brand, their combined power became orders of magnitude greater than their individual strengths.

Having Yarus as an opponent was already a challenge. And now that the equivalent of another Overgod opponent had appeared, Han Shuo immediately realised that breaking through the one hundred and twenty layers of barriers was about to become much more difficult.

"Bryan, I will give you one last chance. Do you insist on becoming my enemy?" asked Yarus gravely. He had revealed his trump card in the hope that Han Shuo would reconsider his decision.

Han Shuo smirked and replied, "You think you can keep me here just because you have the two of them?"

"No, we are not going to hold you, we are going to kill you," Yarus replied.

"Hahaha!" Han Shuo laughed out loud. He raised his head and glanced at the massive aura of darkness high above his head before he boldly challenged, "Do you think my power will be greatly reduced if you isolate me from all elemental energies? Haha, go ahead and kill me. I'd like to see you try!"

The region around Han Shuo had been completely isolated from the outside world, and no elemental energy other than the Dark Element could flow through the barriers. If any other gods were to cultivate elemental energy in Han Shuo's place, their strength would be greatly affected and they would be forced to use the divine energy in their bodies to fight or resist.

Without access to elemental energy, they cannot replenish their divine energy. Any expert, no matter how powerful, would be as weak as a mortal once their divine energy was depleted.

"What a brave man you are, and what a shame you have to die here!" praised Yarus, before turning to Darkwater, Darkstone, Hofs, Wallace, and other experts who cultivated the energy of darkness and saying, "I will use a rotating black hole. All you have to do is pour your dark divine energy into it to amplify its power. When the black hole lands on him, he will be shredded into millions of pieces.

All the dark energy experts nodded their heads. They were well aware of Yarus' power and how deadly his trademark technique was.

Yarus wasted no time, immediately sitting cross-legged on the ground and closing his eyes. Strands of dark aura emerged from his body, connecting with the boundless darkness above the Broadhurst residence. The massive amount of Dark Aura seemed to be powered by countless unseen forces and began to spin.

Darkwater, Darkstone, Wallace, and Hofs began to send streams of darkness energy from their bodies towards the vortex forming above Han Shuo's head.

The strands of dark energy emanating from Darkwater and Darkstone resonated and intertwined in a miraculous way, forming new strands that were far more powerful. Their recombined power was more than ten times greater than that of Hofs and Wallace.

As the streams of dark energy were injected, the slowly rotating vortex high above Han Shuo's head spun faster and faster. It was as if a black hole had appeared in the sky, growing in power and not stopping until the world was consumed.

Yarus was an Overgod expert. Darkwater and Darkstone together had the power of an Overgod. In addition, there were powerful Highgods of Darkness such as Hofs, Wallace and others. The combined power of all these experts had exceeded Han Shuo's expectations. The threat was far greater than Wasir or Salas.

They gathered all their energy and planned to crush Han Shuo in one powerful blow. The energy accumulated in the black hole grew more and more terrifying, and Han Shuo's heart grew heavier.

For a moment, Han Shuo was at a loss. He had no idea what he could do against such a tremendous force. His seventeen flying swords had long since left his body and began to bombard the more than one hundred layers of barriers. Although the flying swords were making progress, it was rather slow as these barriers were very tough.

"It's do or die!" Han Shuo made up his mind in a split second and decided to perform a risky manoeuvre.

The seventeen flying swords had stopped bombarding the barriers and returned to Han Shuo. He sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. His consciousness transformed into dark rays and flew into his demon infant. The demonic infant then slowly floated out from the top of Han Shuo's head, growing larger and larger. It was like a ghostly copy of Han Shuo.

At the same time, the hundreds of thousands of demon generals from the Cauldron of Myriad Demon burst out and disappeared into the demonic infant. Originally the size of a human infant, the demon infant rapidly expanded as it was filled with the energy of the demon generals. In a matter of moments, the demon infant had transformed into a demonic giant tens of metres tall, floating in mid-air.

A cold, sinister, merciless, bloodthirsty energy suddenly flooded the City of Gorging Clouds. It was as if the hundred layers of barriers could not stop the apocalyptic energy of the demon infant.

"ROARR!!!..." As all of the demon general energy entered the demon infant, it suddenly roared.

The tremendously powerful soul-attacking sound wave broke through the layers of barriers. Many of the gods in the Broadhurst Residence suddenly bled from every orifice and died instantly!
