Han Shuo was startled. Due to the unusual environmental conditions, some of the gods who lost their lives to the stardust cerrent had lost their self-awareness, leaving behind their divine souls with only their memories. There were also some whose divine energies were somehow miraculously transformed into divine essences of various energy types. However, the majority of them had their divine energies attached to those seals and boundaries, which were slowly changing under the effects of the Stardust Current.
At that time, on the verge of death, these Gods used boundaries and magical matrices to stop the soul-destroying energy of the Stardust Current. Unfortunately, their last efforts were in vain. Their boundaries and seals, which covered the entire valley, remained and stood even after their deaths. However, the Stardust Current caused some kind of mysterious transformation to the divine energies they had left behind.
Perhaps it was the return of the Stardust Current, or perhaps it was Han Shuo's initiation of the Interplanar Transportation Matrix, but the energies remaining within the boundaries and seals throughout the valley suddenly formed energy beams that shot wildly at Han Shuo!
Han Shuo was greatly alarmed as he understood how terrifying these energies were. He no longer paid attention to the interplanar transport matrix beside him, but immediately sat down cross-legged and instantly deployed a protective shield that enveloped his entire body.
Han Shuo's consciousness could withstand the corrosion of the Stardust Current, but his body might not be able to withstand the power of these terrifying attacks. Especially since these energies were made up of different types of energy, they might have some unknown effects. This left Han Shuo with no choice but to defend himself with all his might. He focused his attention and adjusted the rhythms of his breathing, heartbeat and even blood flow. The demonic yuan in his body, working at peak performance, turned into glittering black lights and poured into the shield.
Pop pop... pop pop...
These rays, which resembled shooting stars, bombarded Han Shuo's shield violently. Even after countless years, this energy, which had been greatly degraded, was still extremely formidable. Perhaps one or two beams were tolerable. But several dozen energy beams coming at once - this kind of bombardment power was so fierce and unbearable that Han Shuo almost choked on his blood.
Not good! Han Shuo screamed in his heart. From the fierce bombardment of his protective shield, to the awareness of the tens of thousands of energies all around him, Han Shuo knew that this time, he was in deep trouble.
The shield that Han Shuo was painfully holding up looked like it was about to burst at any moment. It was consuming the demonic yuan in his body at an alarming rate. If this situation continued, Han Shuo knew in his heart that he would not be able to hold out for long!
When these bizarre energy beams made contact with Han Shuo's protective shield in the form of intense beams, glorious rays of light would blossom. Sitting quietly in front of the interplanar transport matrix, Han Shuo did his best to activate all the usable energies in his body, continuously injecting them into his protective shield, violently resisting the impact of the numerous energy beams.
Gradually, Han Shuo sensed that the demonic yuan reserves in his body were on the verge of exhaustion. Depleted at such a rapid rate, even the demonic infant, this source of energy, seemed to be becoming powerless and couldn't last much longer...
For a moment, Han Shuo was at a loss. He thought to himself, "Will this main body that I rely on for survival be destroyed like this? This is unacceptable!
Even at this point, Han Shuo had not lost his composure. There was at least one thing Han Shuo could be sure of - even if his body was destroyed, his consciousness would not be extinguished!
With this premise, at this critical moment, Han Shuo racked his brain for any way to preserve his body and try to find a way out of this most dangerous situation.
All kinds of demonic techniques flashed through Han Shuo's mind one after the other. His innumerable insights into the demonic arts were evoked one after the other.
Han Shuo's closed eyes suddenly opened. A bizarre radiance shone from their depths!
The most innovative ideas come in times of scarcity!
A crazy idea suddenly flashed through his mind. Based on some vague understanding he had of the Nine Change Realm, and his trust and understanding of the demonic arts, Han Shuo made a bold decision!
The endless streams of demonic yuan pouring into his protective shield were cut off by Han Shuo in an instant. The very next moment, the protective shield that had withstood those intense rays shattered into specks of light and vanished.
Without the protection of his shield, the tens of thousands of energy beams landed directly on Han Shuo's physical body as he sat cross-legged.
As expected, Han Shuo's flesh was ripped open. The numerous streams of energy attacking him simultaneously immediately caused severe damage to his body. His limbs, bones and organs, every inch of his body was drenched in blood in an instant. Some of the weaker parts were even pierced to reveal a hole. Bits and pieces of flesh fell from his body...
All the remaining demonic yuan was diverted to defend Han Shuo's demonic infant at the expense of all other parts of his body. The pain of being hacked by a thousand knives radiated from his head to his toes!
Han Shuo gritted his teeth and persevered through the pain. His demonic yuan was unwavering in its protection of his demon infant. He did not let out a single scream even as the wounds on his body multiplied by the second.
As the hundreds and thousands of energy beams that fell upon Han Shuo's desolate body were not homologous, they began to collide with each other as they met inside his body. This caused all kinds of strange sounds of thunder from within. Every inch of Han Shuo's body began to tremble. The pain became ten times worse as all kinds of energies began to collide with each other at full force right inside his body!
Gritting his teeth, Han Shuo could no longer stand the pain. Right in this most mysterious valley of the Abyss Realm, Han Shuo suddenly stood up, his body dripping with blood and riddled with holes, his flesh falling off piece by piece. His inhuman body raised its head to the sky and began to roar.
Han Shuo did not look like a man at this moment. He looked more like a bloodthirsty demon - a mentally deranged demon!
More and more of his fresh blood was spurting out. Even his extremely tough meridians began to burst one by one. Having been in the business for so long, Han Shuo had suffered severe injuries to his body a few times before, but never had the injuries been so thorough.
It could be said that apart from the demonic infant that Han Shuo was guarding with all his might, every single cell in his body had been destroyed by the barrage of hundreds of thousands of energy beams.
Loud cries of pain erupted from Han Shuo's hideous and terrifying mouth, but no one could hear him...
Gradually, the altered energies that remained within the boundaries, seals and magical matrices that were shooting at Han Shuo became weaker and weaker, and Han Shuo's demonic yuan became more and more depleted.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the stardust current that had enveloped the entire valley began to subside.
The vast expanse of fog that lingered around the valley throughout the year had somehow dissipated. Not a single one of the boundaries and seals that densely covered every corner of the valley remained. Some magical matrices were still standing, but they had used up all their energy!
At that moment, the valley seemed to have lost its strange powers and no longer contained any danger. At the centre of the valley, in front of the interplanar transportation matrix, a bloody soaked body that did not look like a human being was slightly writhing...
After a while, it slowly became motionless. It was as if this person who had fought so hard to survive had finally lost his life.
However, for some reason, the pool of blood on the ground began to flow in the opposite direction!
As if drawn by some incorporeal energy, drop by drop the blood flowed back into the mangled figure... The blood seemed to have come back to life. It was dragging and moving the pieces of chopped flesh and severed meridians back towards the horrible body...
Then they slowly reattached themselves to the body!
The energy around the countless holes in the body was slowly being broken up, recombined and gradually twisted into a new type of energy that circulated around the body in mysterious orbits, eventually gathering in the lower abdomen.
The strange transformation was still going on. The bloody holes were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye. His blood, his flesh, his meridians, his cells - everything that had been destroyed before - began to grow back into his body. The newly recombined energies were gradually flowing into his blood, flesh, meridians and cells.
These basic blocks that made up the body became unprecedentedly powerful and tough!
However, this process was rather slow and had been going on for a long, long time. It might have taken a day, or maybe a year...
But in the end, the process was complete.
There was not a trace of blood on or around him, not a piece of torn flesh or wound to be seen. It was as if the brutal and bloody scene that had taken place in the valley was just an illusion. But when Han Shuo expanded his consciousness, the entire valley appeared in Han Shuo's mind without the slightest obstruction. Although Han Shuo's eyes were calm, his heart was pleasantly surprised.
"Nine Changes Realm , oh, nine changes. Of course, a wild transformation is required for the metamorphosis to happen!" Han Shuo lowered his head to look at the interplanar transportation matrix and raised his head to look at the sky. After considering for a while, he circled the valley once at high speed. His space ring kept flashing, as if he was collecting something.
After a while he suddenly turned into a streak of light. At a speed barely visible to the untrained eye, it cut across the sky and flew out of the Void.
