No one but Han Shuo, the one who created and used the formation, could be more familiar with the mechanisms within. Since Little Skeleton and Han Shuo were mentally linked, Little Skeleton naturally wouldn't suffer any negative effects from the formation by following Han Shuo's instructions. As soon as they entered the formation, they flew towards Leviathan's location. Leviathan, with lightning sparking from head to toe and the sound of thunder rumbling from his body, was circling around ten or so towering stelae, using his divine energy to resist the random attacks coming from around him.
He was inside a small formation of hallucination. Any uninformed, reckless intruder would sink deep into a land of fantasy. Although Leviathan was a Lowgod, he knew nothing of the demonic arts that came from another dimension. In the land of fantasy, all sorts of scenes and scenarios played out in his mind.
Illusions could confuse the mind. Leviathan saw countless figures he had previously murdered rushing towards him with threatening gestures. Those events that were etched in his memory, as well as frightening events that he was deliberately trying to forget, were now replaying in his mind with incredible clarity. It was a constant torment that ravaged his mind.
All of those beings capable of becoming Demon Kings were cold-blooded, merciless characters with incredibly stubborn hearts. If it were an ordinary person who had to relive such negative scenes over and over again, he would have lost his mind long ago. Leviathan, on the other hand, had had countless experiences and wasn't as weak as an ordinary person. He could still hold on to his mind. As long as there was divine energy in his body, he felt as if he had boundless energy. With his own willpower, he violently shattered scene after scene.
Leviathan, a Lowgod, obviously wasn't particularly affected by the formation. If this trend continued, as long as he went through all these scenes and continued to shatter them rapidly, he would soon be able to leave the land of fantasy unharmed.
Han Shuo inwardly lamented the power of the Lowgod. Then he dove into the formation with Little Skeleton. Due to the mental link between him and Little Skeleton, Little Skeleton was able to completely avoid the effects of the formation.
With perfect coordination, the two of them slowly approached the Leviathan. Han Shuo's avatar transformed back into the Demonslayer's Edge and was once again in Han Shuo's hands. Little Skeleton wielded a huge bone spur and concealed his Domain of Divinity. He stealthily surrounded Leviathan with Han Shuo.
As the distance between them slowly closed, Leviathan sent out bursts of undirected divine energy as he fought off his hallucinations. Before Han Shuo and Little Skeleton even got close, he suddenly felt an intense aura of death approaching him. Out of nowhere, a scene suddenly played in his mind: An Abyssal expert with an enormous amount of Death Energy, whom he had defeated many years ago, was ruthlessly striking at him. That battle had had a profound effect on Leviathan. Therefore, when the Aura of Death appeared, his mind naturally replayed the scene of that battle. Although Leviathan was unaware that he was deep in a hallucination, he still had one thought in his mind - I will kill anyone who gets in my way!
This was the principle on which he had based his life for countless years!
Leviathan skilfully unleashed a bolt of lightning, a dozen metres in length and as wide as an arm. The lightning that shot out from his palm resembled a crystal dragon. It emitted a dazzling and glittering radiance. Even though its tail was attached to Leviathan's palm, this dragon was still extremely agile. With divine energy pouring into the bolt of lightning, the dragon soared into the sky before charging violently at Little Skeleton.
Han Shuo was shocked, he had not expected Leviathan to discover Little Skeleton's tracks so quickly. He remarked, "Little Skeleton may have cultivated to be a Lowgod of death and possess a domain of divinity, but his lack of focus in cultivating demonic arts has left him vulnerable when it comes to covering his own tracks and concealing his presence. He is nowhere near as good as me.
As he thought to himself, Han Shuo's movement did not slow down at all. As Little Skeleton began to attack with his long and narrow bone spur, Han Shuo quickly approached the Leviathan. An ominous glow radiated from the Demonslayer's edge. The destructive energy it had been hiding was being sent outwards.
Even though Leviathan was in the Land of hallucinations and not thinking clearly, he still had the instinct to fight back. At that moment, another scene began to take shape in his mind. He travelled back to the time when he had ventured alone to the far north of the Abyss realm to challenge the first Demon King of the Abyss - Bechymos. The scene of the battle played out in his mind.
He had suffered a crushing defeat in that battle!
Never before had Leviathan felt so helpless and cowardly in battle. This challenger was full of confidence at first. But when the confrontation with the oldest demon king of the Abyss really began, Leviathan did not even have enough power to fight back once during the entire battle. Using the Edict of Destruction and wearing a sinister mask, Bechymos easily defeated Leviathan.
Of all the scenes that flashed before his eyes, this was the only one in which Leviathan ended in defeat. It was buried in the depths of his heart as he consciously tried to forget this painful memory. This was the scene he was most reluctant to recall.
When the energy of the Lowgod of Destruction suddenly erupted within the Demonslayer's Edge, the delirious Leviathan returned to the midst of that humiliating battle.
After so many years, the feeling of helplessness and despondency once again pierced Leviathan's heart. Even after so many years had passed, this feeling could not be erased. When this image of the past reappeared, Leviathan, who had been bravely forging ahead and shattering all illusions, finally had his resolve shattered. For a split second, his strength and divine energy were weakened.
Han Shuo, whose attention was fully focused on the battle, immediately discovered the abnormality on Leviathan through the powerful consciousness he possessed. Although Han Shuo didn't know why it would have such a drastic effect on Leviathan so suddenly, it was clear from his observations and his confidence in the formation he had used that Leviathan's strength was greatly diminishing.
In other words, at this very moment, Leviathan's strength and divine energy were at their weakest!
Without the slightest hesitation, Han Shuo injected even more energy into this strike and shot it at Leviathan. At this moment, Han Shuo abandoned all thoughts and ignored all distractions, not even paying attention to whether Little Skeleton was in danger or not. He locked his mind onto the Leviathan and unleashed the energy within the Demonslayer Edge to the fullest. Together with his main body, Han Shuo threw a powerful punch.
Dong... The sound of thunder and explosions rumbled. Divine energies shot out violently all around.
The unstoppable Demonslayer Edge made contact with the raised right hand of the Leviathan. It wore a boxing glove. It was made of some unknown material and contained incomparably formidable light energy. In an instant, this energy collided with several bursts of energy coming from Demonslayer Edge.
Crack! Crack!
The boxing glove that Leviathan had obtained during his last trip to the Void couldn't withstand Han Shuo's full force. It pulverised and vanished in the bursts of electric sparks.
After destroying the glove, the sharp edge of the Demonslayer Edge sliced through the Leviathan's fist with its remaining energy. Fresh blood gushed out in an instant.
The shockwave created as the terrifying energies collided spread out, with the point between the two as its centre. Several stone pillars in the surrounding area couldn't withstand the blast and shattered in an instant. At that moment, the small formation of illusion surrounding the Leviathan finally lost its miraculous ability to cause hallucinations to those trapped within.
The next moment, lightning flashed into Leviathan's stunned eyes. In what seemed like an instant, he regained his composure and immediately realised what had just happened. As excruciating pain radiated from his right fist, Leviathan, who had not been injured in years, suddenly flew into a fit of rage. The divine energy within his body wildly converged on his right fist.
Han Shuo immediately felt the sudden increase in divine energy from the Demonslayer's Edge. When he raised his head and saw that Leviathan's eyes were filled with rage, Han Shuo immediately concluded that Leviathan was awake.
At that moment, Han Shuo did not bother to check the surroundings. He pressed his unoccupied left hand onto the hilt of the Demonslayer Edge. His mighty physical strength, the enigmatic Demonic Yuan, the violent Divine Energy of Destruction, the eerie and sinister energies of fierce souls within the Demonslayer Edge all erupted simultaneously.
Before Leviathan could gather his divine energy, there was a crunching sound. Leviathan's fist was split in two, his fingers completely shattered. After this strike, Han Shuo's continued with an upward stroke. The Demonslayer's Edge travelled in an arc and sliced through Leviathan's neck.
Arhh... Leviathan screamed in excruciating pain. The emotion of fear suddenly appeared in its eyes. It hastily flew backwards to retreat.
Suddenly, an intense energy of death crept up from behind him. Judging by how terrifying the energy was, Leviathan understood that a Lowgod cultivating in the element of death was behind him.
Leviathan was unaware of Little Skeleton's existence. Therefore, it wasn't surprising that he took Little Skeleton, who attacked from behind, to be another Han Shuo who was on the verge of becoming a Lowgod. His heart trembled. He knew that everything in this battle pointed to disaster befalling him. Perhaps he was reliving the dream in which he had faced Bechymos, for his scar and post-traumatic stress seemed to be affecting him once again, giving him a feeling of timidity and helplessness.
With Little Skeleton's sneak attack from behind and Han Shuo's frontal assault, Leviathan's front and back had been blocked. He could only retreat by moving sideways. Leviathan leaned to the side. As it almost turned into a bolt of lightning and ran out of Han Shuo's attack range, Han Shuo's two arms bizarrely extended at high speed. The Demonslayer's Edge, which was already hurtling towards his neck at high speed, moved even faster thanks to Han Shuo's rapidly extending arms. Leviathan simply could not avoid it.
As horror finally filled Leviathan's mind, the Demonslayer Edge slashed at Leviathan's neck with precision. Swish! The Demonslayer's Edge impaled Leviathan's neck. Snap! Immediately after, as Leviathan's energy dwindled in a split second, Little Skeleton's sneak attack with his bone spur managed to pierce Leviathan's body.
"What does it taste like?" Han Shuo's face was impassive, but his eyes were filled with terrifying emotion. Under Leviathan's terrified gaze, Han Shuo flexed the muscles of his right arm and threw Leviathan's blood-soaked torso far into the distance.
