CHAPTER 912: Misty Sea

When travelling from the Death Dominion to the Fringe, one was sure to enter the Misty Sea. After crossing the Misty Sea and two towering mountains, you would officially be leaving the Death Dominion.

The sea was called the Misty Sea because every inch of it was constantly shrouded in a thick mist that connected the surface of the sea to the sky. The mist was so thick and dense that even the most intense sunlight could not reach the sea.

The vast Sea was home to countless bizarre and strange sea creatures. There were a number of non-human races that lived in the depths of the sea all year round. They would never go ashore or interact with the beings that lived on land.

It was very easy to get lost in the Misty Sea. There were no monuments or landmarks to guide you, just endless stretches of confusing whiteness. Gods who travelled the sea alone, without sufficient strength, would most likely fall prey to the Godhunters and lose their lives in the Misty Sea.

One day, on his way home from the Death Dominion, Han Shuo finally reached the Misty Sea. He gazed at the endless whiteness that shrouded the sea and noticed that the mist was much more intense than the last time he had been there.

He also noticed that the elements of death and darkness were somewhat more intense than in the past. He was also surprised to find that there were no godhunters wandering aimlessly about the sea in search of prey.

Months ago, when he entered the Death Dominion, Han Shuo had discovered many godhunters lurking in the Misty Sea. Some of them were even foolish enough to provoke him. After Han Shuo slaughtered these fools, he simply threw their bodies into the sea and fed the massive sea creatures.

Many Godhunters patrolled the Misty Sea in groups. Thanks to the natural obstruction, no one could see them coming or avoid them. And when they encountered prey, they would attack in a group. If their prey turned out to be stronger, they could easily use the fog to escape.

It was as if the sea had been made for godhunters!

Soon after entering the Misty Sea, Han Shuo began to walk around, scanning the sea with his Consciousness. He detected no life forms other than sea creatures. He thought this was rather unfortunate and found it a bit strange.

On his journey home, Han Shuo had wiped out dozens of large and small Godhunter factions. Following the information provided by Scarlett, he went to the regions where the Godhunters usually congregated and used his extraordinarily powerful Soul Sensing power to find and hunt them.

From Ronson Canyon to the Misty Sea, Han Shuo had killed more than six hundred Godhunters. With their divine souls, the Cauldron of the Myriad Demon had gained more than six hundred demon generals.

Han Shuo was not disturbed by the strange changes in the Misty Sea and continued his journey. Since there were no Godhunters to hunt, Han Shuo decided not to stay too long in the Misty Sea, as there was nothing for him to gain. He flew across the sea at high speed.

When he had travelled halfway across the ocean, his consciousness suddenly shook. A sense of danger suddenly filled his heart.

Han Shuo furrowed his brows and suddenly stopped. He first cleared his mind of random thoughts and focused his consciousness on the sensation that had suddenly flooded his heart.

After reaching the Skybreak Realm in the Demonic Arts, Han Shuo's consciousness had become extremely sensitive to impending dangers. Whenever a real danger loomed, he could always sense it in advance and take the necessary actions to avert disaster.

When the sense of danger came to his heart, and after taking a moment to think, he immediately connected the dots. He realised that it wasn't a coincidence that so many ordinary changes had occurred in the Misty Sea.

Han Shuo transformed his consciousness into hundreds of thousands of strands and spread them all around him, sending out several dozen demon generals from his body. They spread everywhere, searching for the source of the danger.

"Who is it?" shouted Han Shuo, but there was no answer.

After the recent increase in his strength, Han Shuo had absolute confidence against any opponent except an Overgod with the Quintessence. Han Shuo ruled out the possibility of an Overgod because they were proud characters and their pride would not allow them to sneak up on someone.

Han Shuo's consciousness and the Demon General had extended to every corner of the Misty Sea but had discovered nothing. However, not only did the sense of danger not dissipate, it also grew more intense. Han Shuo understood that his enemy must be somewhere within the Misty Sea

With a single thought, Han Shuo withdrew his consciousness and the demon generals back into his body. He let out a cold groan and continued to fly away from the Misty Sea at an even faster speed.

Han Shuo reasoned that if his enemy was hiding in the Misty Sea, then they must be planning to use the sea's special characteristics against him. They wouldn't want Han Shuo to leave the sea and would do everything they could to intercept him, forcing him to come out of hiding and reveal himself.

And Han Shuo was right.

As he attempted to leave the Misty Sea at an even greater speed, the elements of death and darkness in the Sea of Mist began to gather in a bizarre manner. In an instant, the white mist turned into black smoke.

The aura of death began to ravage the surface of the sea. It mixed with the cold sea breeze and quickly spread throughout the entire sea.

In an instant, Han Shuo could tell that many layers of barriers had formed around the Misty Sea and were converging on him.

After carefully sensing the gathering rate of the elements of death and darkness, Han Shuo's face shook and he was quite surprised.

With his acute senses, Han Shuo was able to determine the number and strength of his enemies from the gathering rate of the elements of death and darkness. He knew that there were at least two Overgods who cultivated the energy of death and darkness. Although they did not possess the Quintessence, two Overgods were still a very formidable force.

As Han Shuo was about to speak, he suddenly discovered that the seawater beneath him was boiling. The dark seawater was filled with the energy of destruction. It was turning the seawater into solid, growing columns. It was an Overgod of Destruction!

Han Shuo was astonished. He had not expected to find three Overgods lurking in ambush.

Next, a bolt of lightning shot through the mist. It then split into thousands of lightning bolts, weaving a huge web in the sky.

Han Shuo was not familiar with the auras of death, destruction and darkness. But Han Shuo was familiar with this aura of the lightning bolts, and he immediately figured out who had used the Lightning Energy Barrier. He raised his head, looked at the sky and shouted, "So it's you, Salas! I must admit, I'm quite surprised that you could recover so quickly and even find three powerful assistants to attack me. You must have planned long and hard for this."

The majestic figure of Salas gradually appeared in the mist. Staring down at Han Shuo from the sky, he grinned, "You've got it wrong, boy. It's not me who planned the attack - it's the other three. I'm just tagging along!"

Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment and with one thought he immediately understood the situation. He suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I see! It seems that my slaughter of the Godhunters has finally provoked a counterattack from the higher-ups. Haha, I just didn't expect the counterattack to be so fierce!"

Soon, a colossal figure gradually emerged from the darkness. He had a pair of cold green eyes that looked like two green crescent moons staring down at Han Shuo. Its terrifying aura of destruction seemed to stir the seawater, causing it to move erratically.

Next, the boundless darkness grew more and more intense. A massive dark figure, shrouded in the most intense element of darkness, gradually appeared. Only its vague outline could be seen.

Shortly after, a throne made of bones appeared out of nowhere. On it sat a figure wearing a white mask, whose body was surrounded by an intense aura of death. The aura of death was constantly moving around the figure, giving it a vague outline.

The three Overgods appeared one after the other. They wore masks or hid in the darkness, not revealing their true appearance. It seemed that the Hegemons were very cautious about revealing their identities.

After the three Hegemon appeared, Han Shuo turned to the colossal figure and shouted with a smile, "Hey, it's you! I've seen you before!"

Back when Han Shuo lived in the City of Shadows, Han Shuo discovered a Godhunter Alliance base and brought Erebus, Aobashi and the others to destroy it. The colossal figure appeared in the base's underground palace and almost killed them all.

And when Han Shuo was still a mortal, when he was still on the Profound Continent, that colossal figure had also appeared in the cemetery of death. It had tried to make Han Shuo give up his soul and become its slave.

Han Shuo did not expect that after so many years, he would meet this Overgod of Destruction face to face in the Misty Sea.

By now, Han Shuo could tell that the colossal figure was just a hallucination created to hide his true appearance. However, since his strength was extremely terrifying, most experts could not tell that it was a hallucination and thought that he was actually that massive.

When faced with such a colossal figure with such powerful energy, those with weak minds would easily be intimidated and surrender their souls to serve him. Even Han Shuo was terrified of the colossal figure that seemed to wield infinite power.

"Indeed, we have met before. How unexpected, a character as insignificant as an ant could grow in strength in such a short time, even to the point of threatening our alliance," a slow, aged voice sounded from the colossal figure. He sounded rather impressed.
