Chapter 1545: Scary Potential

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Little Lion King wanted to throw in the towel, but seeing Little Silver and Starsea Beast carry on, he was reluctant to. He strove to follow.

"I don't believe his creatures are actually better than me." Jade Little Lion King made up his mind—he was going to march forward even further.

When he was halfway to the next curtain of light, Little Lion King's body suddenly glowed. His geno core leveled up again, giving him a super geno core.

Roar! "I am the strongest!" Jade Little Lion excitedly shouted.

"This guy's pretty talented. He has managed to level up three times, so it is no wonder that he's the heir of a strong creature." Han Sen was jealous. His self geno cores had still shown no sign of changing.

After Jade Little Lion became super, he felt the atmospheric pressure become lighter. And then, reaching the fifteenth light wasn't so much of a struggle. The strength of his body had improved, after all. He ran up to Han Sen and said to him, "Han Sen, are you interested in competing with me? To see which of us can walk furthest?"

"Where's the good in that?" Han Sen asked.

"If you win, I will take you as my boss and I will listen to whatever you say, no matter the command." Little Lion King rolled his eyes.

He had seen Han Sen's power, but he knew it was derived from the beast souls or geno cores he had collected. Little Lion King could tell Han Sen's fitness was only a little bit better than a gemstone creature, and he wasn't super class.

Inside the Godlight Tunnel, the extra powers Han Sen relied on would be useless. You had to use your own body's power to fight back the pressure and light. And that was why the lion was now confident.

"Okay, then." Han Sen smiled.

"Don't rush it, though. If you lose, I'll be your boss instead. I'll make you do everything for me," Little Lion King said quickly.

"Okay." Han Sen nodded.

Yu Miao hadn't spoken a word thus far. Little Lion King had become super, and she felt uncertain and restless. She believed Little Lion King might have actually been stronger than her now.

Humans were different from creatures and spirits. If Han Sen's self geno core leveled up, his fitness would still remain what it was. Like the two humans, once Han Sen reached the end of his tether, leveling up would still force him to stop where he was.

Yu Miao hadn't decided to fight Han Sen after becoming super because she was still afraid of his geno cores and beast souls. It wasn't his actual power she was afraid of.

Six Paths didn't say anything, either. He just continued walking, and he didn't care about anything the others were discussing.

Yu Miao's surprise did not only come from Han Sen alone, though. Bao'er, Little Silver, and Starsea Beast had managed to breach the sixteenth curtain of light.

They only had gemstone geno cores, and they weren't super yet. It was extremely shocking because she had never heard of a gemstone creature making it this far before.

"What's that creature? And what was its parent, to give it such horrible strength? Are they super creatures? But then again, if they were, they wouldn't have been allowed to enter God's Ruin." Yu Miao was in shock.

Little Lion King and Yu Miao were both feeling the same way. They were both in shock. White Lion King said a powerful creature's heir could go past the sixteenth light with a gemstone body, but the likelihood of such a creature living was a one-in-a-billion rarity. They wondered how Han Sen had amassed so many.

While Yu Miao and the Lion King remained dazed in their shock, Starsea Beast began to glow. It was a beautiful thing to witness.

"Is Little Star leveling up?" Han Sen was very happy about this. This was the first super creature he had cultivated in the Fourth God's Sanctuary.

Yu Miao was already certain that Little Star was a gemstone class creature, but this confirmation only heightened her shock.

A gemstone class creature had actually reached the sixteenth section of the Godlight Tunnel. That meant he was the best of the best when it came to creatures. If nothing bad happened, it would undoubtedly become a berserk super creature one day and go on to really becoming the greatest to exist in the Fourth God's Sanctuary.

Even Six Paths was surprised by this. He saw what had occurred, and after a long stare, he said, "A legend speaks of a Starsea Dragon King existing in the Fourth God's Sanctuary. The starsea power it wielded was unbeatable. It reached the end of the seas and leveled up. I wonder if he is its heir?"

Han Sen shook his head and said, "No. He is just the heir of a sacred-blood creature. It's just something about his genes that must have changed."

He didn't know if Little Star was the heir of Starsea Dragon King, but even if the creature was and he knew that, he wouldn't admit it. If that name was indeed connected to Little Star, all the enemies of Starsea Dragon King would come looking for him.

But if Little Star was indeed the heir, it helped to explain why he was so powerful. In the legends, it said Starsea Dragon King went on to become a god. That implied Little Star was a child of a god.

Everyone continued walking, and when they neared the seventeenth light, Little Silver looked incredibly tired. His body was shaking as he tried to beat the weight of the pressure.

Han Sen thought it was strange that he himself could now feel the pressure of the light, but it wasn't as bad as he thought it might be. The burden wasn't exceptionally tough for him to endure.

"Strange. My fitness is just a little bit better than that of a gemstone creature, just like Yu Miao. But why can't I feel much of the Godlight pressure?" Han Sen felt very weird. He didn't feel much of that pressure at all, and he had almost reached the seventeenth curtain of light.

When they were approaching the seventeenth curtain of light, Little Silver stood up off of Starsea Beast's back. The fox's fur was all standing on end, and its bones creaked and moaned. He was clearly fighting some sort of power.

Han Sen thought the little fox wasn't going to make it, but Starsea Beast helped and nudged it on into the curtain of light. Little Silver was barely hanging on by a thread, and unfortunately, its geno core did not evolve.

Halfway through the seventeenth section, Little Silver could endure it no more. He had to jump off Starsea Beast's back and stop where he was.

It looked as if he had gone as far as he could.

"Little Silver shouldn't be any weaker than Starsea Beast. Why did his geno core not level up?" Han Sen wondered.

Chapter 1546: Easy Travel

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the Godlight Tunnel, there was only the super class Yu Miao, Little Lion King, Starsea Beast, Han Sen, and Six Paths remaining.

Bao'er was in Han Sen's arms. When Han Sen introduced her to others, he would always say she was a pet beast soul. Pet beast souls did not possess geno cores, so they wouldn't feel the pressure experienced in the tunnel.

To others, Bao'er could follow Han Sen freely. And if Han Sen could keep going, she too would go through all the way. Of course, Han Sen knew Bao'er wasn't actually a beast soul.

After crossing the seventeenth Godlight, even Yu Miao and Little Lion King—both of whom were super—were under extreme pressure.

Yu Miao and Little Lion King looked at Han Sen, and they were surprised to see him looking rather relaxed. They were shocked, and they wondered if Han Sen's fitness had actually reached the level of a super demi-god. If he hadn't, they couldn't think of another reason that would explain how he had managed to come so far.

It was hard to imagine a body that was not super could make it all the way here.

Six Paths' face looked a little grim, too. He was feeling the weight of the pressure. Han Sen's faced was still relaxed, though. The effect on him was rather minuscule.

They were a hundred meters away from the eighteenth Godlight. Yu Miao and Little Lion King's bodies began to tremble, and every step took them a lot of effort. ( NovelFull )

The two of them saw Han Sen not looking likely to quit anytime soon, so they clenched their teeth and pushed on. They were so slow, though. It was as if they were dragging a mountain behind them.

Their bones began to creak eventually. Little Lion King roared. He wanted to keep going, but his body was no longer allowing him to.

Yu Miao was in the same situation. Seeing Six Paths and Han Sen reach the eighteenth Godlight, her feet finally felt as if they had been pinned to the ground. She could no longer move.

"I am already super class. Why is there such a big difference?" Yu Miao felt terrible. She tried her hardest, wanting to walk on as Han Sen and Six Paths were doing.

She managed to move one leg a little further, but its landing was met with the sound of a katcha! The other leg had been unable to support the weight, and it ended up snapping.

Pang!

Yu Miao fell to the ground and looked up at Han Sen and Six Paths, who were managing to proceed even further. She couldn't get up and chase after them as she wished to.

Little Lion King roared. He was able to inch his way forward a little bit more. He was shaking, and when he was only four meters away from the eighteenth marker, the trembling became too violent. He could no longer step forward, either.

When Han Sen and Six Paths passed through the eighteenth Godlight, the Six Paths Sword began to shine like a flower. His geno core had become super now.

But Six Paths' geno core becoming super didn't mean too much, as it had no effect on his fitness.

"F*ck! I lost. That guy is too strong. How is he doing that?" Little Lion King dropped to the floor as he watched Han Sen and Six Paths go through the eighteenth Godlight. He gave up trying to support himself further, and he simply lay on the floor to see which of the two final contestants would win.

The others did not know what Little Lion King knew, though. Han Sen's self geno core was the same level as his own when he started, and he had already leveled up three times, whereas Han Sen hadn't.

If he only had a silver geno core and his fitness was not super, it was scary to fathom how he had managed to come so far.

"No matter how special the human's body is, it cannot compete with Six Paths Emperor." Yu Miao remained where she was, watching the two advance.

She did not want Han Sen to go much further, but she didn't mind Six Paths doing much better than her. Han Sen was just a human, after all, and she didn't think much of them. The mere fact he had managed to go further than she had was an excruciating fact she had trouble accepting.

"Maybe he cannot, but Six Paths looks fairly strained and Han Sen is looking the same as ever. I think he'll end up walking further than Six Paths," Little Lion King said.

He hoped Han Sen could walk further. He had lost to Han Sen, and he'd feel a bit better about himself if he knew Han Sen was also the sort to beat someone like Six Paths.

If Six Paths Emperor lost, the Lion King losing to Han Sen would not be so embarrassing.

Since he had lost the bet, it was established that he would become Han Sen's subordinate. At the very least, he'd be the subordinate of a supreme elite. It was far better than ending up as the subordinate of a random nobody. ( NovelFull )

Creatures always obeyed the stronger, and the same applied to Jade Little Lion King.

Six Paths felt the pressure from the Godlight, and he could feel the muscles of his emperor body tighten. He was starting to sweat profusely, too.

He looked over to Han Sen and what he saw shocked him. Han Sen looked as relaxed as the moment he first entered the tunnel. There was not a drop of sweat on him.

"How could this happen? His fitness isn't super yet, so how can he walk through this so easily?" Six Paths Emperor frowned, unable to formulate an answer.

There were so many elites in the Godlight Tunnel, all possessing different elements. They had all become super class while in there, and yet, regardless of the power they possessed, it wasn't enough to withstand the pressure of the tunnel.

Not even Six Paths believed Han Sen's power was enough to suppress the might of the Godlight. But even so, he couldn't come up with a reason to explain how Han Sen was walking so freely before him.

"I am right! He is indeed a special opponent. I'm still looking forward to that fight. Once he levels up to super, I will test how strong he really is." Six Paths Emperor's eyes possessed a fire.

Han Sen did not look back at Six Paths. The pressure of the tunnel was something he could ignore, but as he slowly reached the end, he felt as if something was there up ahead. He could sense something moving, beckoning him closer.

"Is there a special reason why I'm not susceptible to the pressure of the Godlight? What is at the end of the tunnel? And why me?" Han Sen felt very confused over these events, but his curiosity had been piqued too. He really wanted to see what lay in wait at the end.

Han Sen quickened his pace, eager to find out what was at the end of the tunnel.

Chapter 1547: The Darkness Seemed So Far Away

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen increased his pace, leaving Six Paths behind. Six Paths was getting far too tired, and he slowed down. With him slowing down and Han Sen speeding up, the distance between the two greatly increased.

Six Paths frowned. He didn't let Han Sen's progress affect him, though, and he continued at the pace he himself was most comfortable with.

But when Yu Miao and Little Lion King saw the two, they were shocked. They found it all hard to believe. They were shocked that Han Sen could not only keep up with Six Paths, he could go further and faster. And Han Sen's pace was actually accelerating, not slowing down.

They had never seen anything like this before. Witnessing someone simply reaching the eighteenth Godlight was a supremely rare occurrence. It shocked them a lot to see Han Sen actually managing to speed up after going through it. They could not believe their eyes, and they thought it was a dream of some kind.

They rubbed their eyes to double-check, and they realized they weren't wrong. Han Sen was speeding up. He had been walking, but now he was going at a steady jog. He was nearing the nineteenth Godlight.

Yu Miao and Little Lion King were too shocked to speak. Never in their wildest dreams could they picture someone jogging through the eighteenth portion.

"It's no wonder he beat me. He really is special!" Little Lion King wasn't upset he had lost the bet. He felt as if it was within expectations that he had lost to Han Sen. Truth be told, he was actually a little glad.

Yu Miao did not say anything. Her lips only trembled as she stared at Han Sen in the distance, who was still jogging.

"How is this possible… He is just a human. Just a human!" Yu Miao's mood was a complicated one.

And not long after, Han Sen breached the nineteenth curtain of light. His speed did not slow down. He was getting quicker, going at the pace of a kid that was racing home after school.

Six Paths was still walking forward slowly, and he struggled with each step he took. Still, despite the struggle, he too managed to reach the nineteenth Godlight. He had simply gone slower than Han Sen.

Six Paths looked determined. He continued at his own speed, and although his clothes were soaked with sweat, they weren't stopping him.

Now Six Paths was like a sword, a fearless sword. It did not matter what trouble or hardship lay ahead, nothing would make him quit his arduous struggle to proceed.

But when Six Paths passed through the nineteenth Godlight, Han Sen's body suddenly disappeared at the end of the tunnel.

The Godlight Tunnel had nineteen Godlights that illuminated the entirety of the tunnel. Strangely, though, the far end was dark. No one knew what lay behind that curtain of black because no one had entered before.

Now that Han Sen had gone inside with ease, it made Six Paths' eyes shine with zeal. Han Sen being there made him want to go and reach the end with a greater vigor.

"He reached the end of the tunnel." They expected this would happen, but Yu Miao was still extremely shocked to see Han Sen reach the end and disappear into the darkness there.

She did not know how many years God's Ruin had existed and how many creatures had become super there. Many super creatures and spirits that emerged from that place went on to become leaders elsewhere in the sanctuary. Some of them went on to be emperors or even berserk super creatures.

Even so, none of those had ever reached the end of the tunnel before. The eighteenth Godlight was the farthest a demi-god had ever reached. Not many people could approach the nineteenth Godlight. Those that could were similar to Six Paths.

But no matter how good they were or how talented they were, none could reach the end.

Han Sen was just a human, and he had almost reached the end. And what's more, he hadn't struggled. He had freely run there. Yu Miao would claim such a story to be preposterous, had she not seen it with her own two eyes.

She knew if she told the story to other spirits, they would not believe her.

"What kind of person is he? Can humans truly accomplish such a feat?" Yu Miao's head was totally messed up.

"It's no wonder he became my boss. He is strong. He is too strong. This has never happened before." Little Lion King's eyes were opened wide. He did not think it was a shame to make Han Sen his boss. And he even found himself referring to him as boss already.

He was now trying to think of what benefits he might reap, having come into the service of Han Sen.

Six Paths was like an indestructible sword, approaching the end. Each step was solid, as if nothing in the universe could halt his advance.

One step. Two steps. Three steps. Six Paths was getting close to the finish line. He was close to the darkness at the tunnel's end, and that was all he could see now.

When Little Lion King and Yu Miao calmed down a bit, they then turned their attention to Six Paths. They wanted to see if Six Paths could also reach the end of the Godlight Tunnel.

Six Paths was getting closer and closer to that darkness, but he was slowing down. Each step was slower than the next due to the increasing difficulty.

The powerful Godlight was something not even Six Paths could shirk. The weight was really starting to pile up.

Katcha!

The tunnel's floor had been shining with the Godlight for who-knew-how-long. It was believed to be indestructible, but it was cracking beneath Six Paths feet.

Every step he took left a crater-like footprint in the stone below.

Six Paths was less than a hundred meters away from the nineteenth Godlight, and aside from Han Sen, no one had ever come this far before. But Six Paths wanted more than this. He wanted to reach the black, just like Han Sen had.

Little Lion King and Yu Miao stared at Six Paths. It was not as if they were the ones there, but they were excited to watch, all the same.

One step. Two steps. Three steps. Six Paths' body felt sharper and sharper, and he no longer felt like a person. He felt as if he was a walking sword.

"Almost there. Only ten meters to go." Yu Miao clenched her fists in anticipation.

The blood inside Six Paths' body began to seep out of his skin, making him look like a red sword. Every step Six Paths took made him bleed more profusely.

"Hold on. Just a few steps left to go." Yu Miao wanted Six Paths to reach the end, as that would make her feel better.

Six Paths was wholly dyed red. He was incredibly slow, but he was directly before the darkness.

The light and the dark painted two worlds side-by-side. Six Paths was standing in front of the black wall that separated the two. He couldn't see anything yet, but he still had to take one last step before entering.

But Six Paths just stood where he was, unable to make the last step.

"Get in!" Yu Miao shouted out in her heart.

Six Paths' heart was screaming, too. The scary swordlight was encompassing his entire body, but if he took one more step into the darkness, he was afraid he would shatter.

The horrible Godlight suppressed his entire body, and no matter how much more power he wished to unleash, his legs remained pinned on the ground. He couldn't walk anymore.

Six Paths wished to know what lay beyond the darkness, but he was unable to move his body. He could no longer even wriggle his fingers.

He was only one step away, but the darkness seemed so far away.

Chapter 1548: A Room

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen was standing in a room. He looked at it in strange awe, with his mouth hanging wide open.

The area looked like it would very dark as he came into it from the Godlight Tunnel, but when he breached the black veil, it really was like nothing more than a thin curtain obscuring the view.

Through the darkness, there was a room that looked like a lounge of sorts. Han Sen wouldn't have been surprised if he encountered a monster in that room.

Han Sen was prepared to fight when he entered, but he found himself shocked and speechless instead.

There was a table, chairs, cups, and benches. They were composed of a crystal-like material Han Sen was familiar with. They looked like what Han Sen had seen inside the Main Control Room. The chairs and table were of a similar design, too.

Han Sen confirmed the room had been built from crystal, and it was therefore likely it had been built by the crystallizers.

"Why is there a crystallizer room beyond the Godlight Tunnel?" Han Sen's brain was full of question marks.

( NovelFull ) According to crystallizer technology, it should have been impossible for such stuff to exist in the sanctuaries. After all, Han Sen couldn't even use his beetle in the sanctuary.

But there was an entire crystallizer room here in front of him, nonetheless.

"It's just a room. Maybe someone moved it here? But this is the end of the Godlight Tunnel, and who could possibly possess the ability to move an entire crystallizer room here?" Han Sen looked around, hoping he'd find a solution.

He was also looking out for that which was the crux of his worry. He looked around the room a few times, but he couldn't find anything.

The things around him were just ordinary objects. Han Sen tried the chair out, and he was able to confirm it was the same sort he found in the Main Control Room. Even though it looked crystal and hard, it was soft and plush.

He now thought it was a great shame he couldn't use the beetle in the sanctuary. If he had been able to, he'd have liked to ask it for information concerning this place.

Han Sen's vision then became fixed on something on the left side of the room. There was a black crystal drawer standing against a wall. Han Sen walked up to it and pulled the drawer open, hoping to find some information.

But he was unable to pull it out. He tried it twice and found that there was no leeway. It had to have been locked.

Han Sen decided to draw Taia and beat the drawer instead. There were some sparks, but the attack didn't leave a mark on the surface.

Han Sen's face changed. He used all the power he could muster, and yet, it hadn't left a single mark. The crystal was unfathomably strong.

When Han Sen frowned, thinking about how he might open it, the beetle in his hand now began to shine. Han Sen had been unable to use it in the sanctuary before, but now it had come to life.

"Control Room discovered. Would you like to connect?" The beetle's AI voice rang from Han Sen's hand.

"Connect," Han Sen said, with surprise. This really was a form of Main Control Room, where crystallizer technology such as the beetle could be used.

It certainly exceeded Han Sen's expectations. Through his entire life, he had been told he could not make use of proper technology when he was in the sanctuary.

Many people had even tested this theory in the sanctuary, too. The results were all the same: from lighters to advanced cannonballs and super warframes, nothing could be activated inside the sanctuary. They might as well have been hunks of steel.

And crystallizer technology such as the beetle couldn't be used, either. Han Sen wasn't sure why that had now changed all of a sudden.

( NovelFull ) "Establishing connection to Control Room." The symbols on the beetle shone, and it moved to land on the black crystal drawer.

Then, Han Sen heard a katcha. The door that was shut opened up.

"Connection successful." The beetle's light dimmed after the drawer opened.

Han Sen looked over the drawer, and inside, he saw a glowing crystal-like machine. It was like some sort of control platform, and the lights looked like streaming data. Han Sen wasn't too sure what he was looking at.

"What is this?" Han Sen asked the beetle.

The beetle responded with its mechanical voice, and it answered, "It's a computer."

"What is it for?" Han Sen asked.

"I don't have enough data to formulate a certifiably correct response. Therefore, I cannot answer you." The beetle was shining as it delivered its dialogue.

Han Sen frowned. He didn't understand much about crystallizer technology, and he was unable to operate it since he didn't know what it was supposed to do.

As Han Sen mulled what he should do, a door opened on the other side of the room.

Han Sen went over to take a look with much curiosity. It looked as if the next room was a bedroom. There was a comfy-looking crystal bed at its center.

The bed still had sheets on it, and the corner looked as if it had been tossed aside. It looked rather messy, as if the owner of the bed had once left in a rush without time to tidy.

Han Sen went over to observe the blanket, but he saw nothing under it. He then looked at the nightstand. There was a crystal bottle there, containing a red liquid. It was a touch lighter than red wine, appearing pinkish, more than anything.

The bottle had a lid on it. Han Sen pulled it off, and his nose was greeted with the pleasing sensation of an alcoholic beverage.

"Is this the alcohol crystallizers drank?" Han Sen found that rather amazing.

Han Sen put the lid back on and decided to keep the bottle. He opened the drawers of the nightstand next, to see if he could find something more useful.

When Han Sen opened the drawer, he grinned. There were many items inside. It looked as if there were hair clippers and various decorative oddities. There was a bottle, too, which might have contained a woman's makeup product.

Amidst all those items, Han Sen also caught a glimpse of a diary. He took it out of the drawer and opened it. There were many words inside, and the text looked to be composed by the gorgeous handwriting of a woman.

What excited Han Sen the most was the fact it was a language of ancient humanity. It was something he could read.

Han Sen was glad he had learned so many ancient languages now. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have been able to read a single word the diary contained.

Report chapter

Han Sen was very eager to read the contents of the diary.

Although it was a diary, the entries weren't dated. And furthermore, each page only contained a sentence or two. The entries were not a continuous thing, either. It was a casual, random recording of stuff.

"3480, why is he so dumb? I can't believe he got killed by a Jade Bone Beast."

"Has 5079's brain filled up with water? With his power, he might as well have a death wish by going to the Galaxy Sea."

"He died. What a dumb*ss."

The diary was full to the brim of complaints, but Han Sen wasn't sure what the numbers meant.

"Are the crystallizers practically the same as humans? Were they in the sanctuary to hunt creatures? Are the numbers the names of their friends?" Han Sen thought to himself.

There were many complaints, but Han Sen made sure to read every single word. He didn't want to accidentally skip over an important detail and lose a potential lead.

Ultimately, the results were disappointing. Han Sen had managed to read half of it, but the content up until then had been unchanging. It was like the person who had been writing the diary was a very bored recorder. It sounded as if they watched people fight all day.

Han Sen managed to hold back the urge of skipping to the last page, though, and he went through the diary page by page. After going through a bunch more, however, his eyes finally came across some text that roused him back to full consciousness.

"Forty-four days to go before returning. There is still no one who is qualified. It looks like the mission has failed."

"Returning? What does returning mean? And qualified for what? What does that mean?" Han Sen was confused. He kept on reading, hoping to find an answer.

But right after, it led back to more typical complaints. Han Sen read through another dozen pages, though, and he came across something else that stood out.

"Mission failed. Unable to track Number 4. We can finally get out of here. There is no longer a need for us to suffer in this place anymore."

After that page, the diary was empty, and it looked like the owner of the diary left and no longer felt the urge to write inside it.

Han Sen's heart jumped, and so he flicked back through the pages. He remembered seeing the writer complain about a Number 4 earlier, but at the time, he might not have noticed it.

When the diary owner left, they mentioned Number 4. To be featured on the final page, Number 4 had to be a person of some importance.

Han Sen then gathered all the complaints and entries he could find that made mention of Number 4.

"Number 4 is not bad. Her sword is good. She has reached kindergarten level."

"Number 4 wants to kill Blood-River God. She must have a death wish."

"D*mn! Number 4 did it. That was some dogsh*t luck."

After Han Sen read them all, he noticed that the author really had paid attention to Number 4.

The diary's owner, when complaining about the others, did so differently. It was as if she was an absolute superior, and her comments were written like the observation notes on monkeys in a zoo.

Even though the diary's owner seemed to complain about Number 4 the most, it was different. It felt like they shared something, and that Number 4 wasn't regarded as a lower-tier being.

After Han Sen read all the complaints, he came to a few conclusions.

Number 4 was a female. He did not know if she was a crystallizer or what, but she was a female.

She used a sword and she was very strong. There was one mention of Cruel Chi, and he had heard of its existence as a demi-god super creature. Normal super creatures wouldn't dare provoke that beast.

The complaints said Number 4 managed to kill the monster. Although the diary said her sword skills were not great, like that of a little kid, the progression seemed smooth. Number 4 must have been able to kill the creature with ease.

And there was a point in which she was mentioned to be beautiful.

One of the complaints stated, "Why is being pretty something to be proud about? Being pretty can often lead to arrogance. D*mn Number 4!"

Han Sen connected a few more of the complaints to paint a clearer picture. He learned a baby creature managed to approach Number 4 and follow her. That was why the diary had a line that read like that.

Han Sen's ultimate conclusion was that Number 4 was pretty. She had great sword skills and could slay super creatures.

Han Sen combined all those clues and threads, and eventually, he had a clear idea of who she was in his mind.

"Gu Qingcheng! Could that really be her?" That seemed a little impossible, as Han Sen figured that he could probably make a rough guess about the book's age. And it was a crystallizer thing, written by and about those of their own kind.

And it wasn't as if Gu Qingcheng was the only woman who was pretty and wielded a sword. There were many spirits and humanoid creatures like that, too.

Han Sen read a bit more of the included content, and aside from Number 4, there were no other special things. The other numbers did not seem to be half as important. They were usually single mentions, and after a complaint, they were never mentioned again.

"I need to ask Gu Qingcheng if she was the one who killed Cruel Chi. Depending on her answer, I'll be able to find out if this was really her." Han Sen thought the possibility of this was low, but he still wanted to go back and ask.

Han Sen poked around the bedroom some more, and aside from a few various oddities and bottles, there was nothing else to investigate. The beetle was silent the whole time, too.

Aside from those two rooms, there was no other way out, either. There was nothing worth taking, so he exited by the way in which he entered.

The items, bottles, and the diary were all placed inside the Cruel Bottle by Han Sen.

When Han Sen exited the room, however, he was given a shock. Six Paths was standing right outside like a blood man. Han Sen almost didn't recognize him.

Crash!

When Six Paths saw Han Sen, his body collapsed. He spilled blood as he tumbled backwards.

Han Sen immediately went to pick him up. He placed him on his back and thought to himself, "Why were you so stubborn? This was just a path. It does not determine your future."

Han Sen forgot about the fact he was the only one who had walked to the end. The answers for what he was looking for would not affect him, but he'd continue looking.

Little Lion King and Yu Miao saw Han Sen carrying the unconscious Six Paths, and their faces looked strange.

"Boss! You are so strong. Even Six Paths could not reach the end, but you did," Jade Little Lion said.

Chapter 1550: Big Iron Chimenea

Translator:Nyoi-Bo Studio

Editor:Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen brought Six Paths out of the Godlight Tunnel. He examined his wounds and noticed he had been injured badly. Fortunately, the body of an emperor was strong and his life was not in any danger.

Yu Miao took Yu Xuan with her and left. She stared at Han Sen the whole time, and her look could be best described as complicated.

Right now, however, Han Sen did not have the time to kill them. And even if he did, he realized it would be pointless. If he ever hoped to kill them, he'd have to do it so they'd never come back, in a one-and-done fashion.

Jade Little Lion was already showing extreme loyalty to Han Sen. He kept on calling him boss, casually, as if he had been born to serve him.

Ever since he met Cheap Sheep, he didn't like being called a boss, so he wanted his subordinates to refer to him as chairman, as others often did.

"Han Sen, should we leave now?" Little Fairy was in a rush to ask Han Sen.

Little Fairy did not enter the Godlight Tunnel because, according to her, she wanted to level up to super entirely by herself. And she hadn't come to God's Ruin for the tunnel, either. It was all about the relic.

Leveling up through the tunnel offered different benefits. It was difficult to determine which was better, and people were always of a different mind in choosing which was the best.

Han Sen brought Bao'er and the others with him. Jade Little Lion wished to follow, and so Han Sen did not decline. Having a super creature like that by his side could also prove beneficial.

Jade Little Lion told the other creatures to remain by the tunnel and protect the place. Then, he followed after Han Sen to visit another place in God's Ruin.

Han Sen rode atop Starsea Beast's back and sometimes brought out an item or two to play with. They were the things he brought with him from the crystallizer bedroom.

Before he entered the Godlight Tunnel earlier, he felt as if something was beckoning him. He lost that sensation when he entered the tunnel.

And he no longer felt it after coming back out, so Han Sen thought the item that had pulled his attention had to be one of the items he had brought with him. But when Han Sen looked at the items, they all looked like women's things. There was nothing particularly special about them.

"It's those Black Seahorses again," Little Fairy shouted, from her position up front.

Han Sen looked to the sky. The seahorses were pulling a big chimenea, as they always did. But this time, Han Sen was surprised. The flames of the object were extinguished.

"Those Black Seahorses keep pulling that black chimenea around the ruin constantly. I wonder what they want." Han Sen was just talking to himself.

Jade Little Lion quickly said, "My father came to this ruin himself when he was a cub. And he saw the Black Seahorses with a chimenea back then, too. He told me not to get too close to them because each one is as strong as a super demi-god creature."

"Of course we know they are strong!" Little Fairy lifted her lips.

Han Sen looked at Jade Little Lion with surprise and said, "Wasn't White Lion King a born-berserk super creature?"

"Many people believe he was, but that's not actually true. He leveled up to achieve the strength he possesses." While speaking about White Lion King, Jade Little Lion looked proud.

Han Sen nodded and did not say anything. He looked at the Black Seahorses pulling the big chimenea. The Black Seahorses eventually slid down the side of a mountain and disappeared from sight.

A period of time passed and they had yet to re-emerge.

"Let's go see what they are doing." Han Sen was quite interested in the chimenea. The big chimenea was too cold to approach normally, but its blue fire had now subsided. If he managed to get close enough, he might be able to catch a glimpse of what was inside.

Little Fairy thought the chimenea was the relic, so she agreed they should go and take a look.

Jade Little Lion looked hesitant, but if Han Sen was going, he knew he'd have to go with him.

The party then went towards where the chimenea had set down. The mountain wasn't the biggest in the ruin, but it was still around ten thousand meters high.

Fortunately, there were none of those strange flowers to be wary about. They all climbed to the peak with ease, free of any danger.

When they reached the peak, they noticed that behind the mountain was another mountain and peak to climb. This mountain went up into the clouds. They could actually see the Black Seahorses pulling the chimenea up the slopes.

Han Sen and Little Fairy looked at each other, and then they followed after them.

The peak was just like a normal glacier poking its head above the clouds. They couldn't see the Black Seahorses once they got there, though.

They spent half the day climbing into the clouds, and what they saw was quite surprising once they got through. It was a sea of clouds. There were so many clouds all about, it was like an idyllic view of heaven. Another peak poked its head from out of that cloudy ocean, too. And then, there was a giant icy ship floating in the air.

The Black Seahorses pulled the chimenea up to the highest peak, then stopped. It was like they were waiting for something.

Katcha! Katcha!

Not long after, the chains of the seahorses were opened. The eleven of them shouted happily, bobbed quickly down the hill, and then leaped down into the clouds. They were like fish having just escaped a net. They swam very happily in the sea of clouds.

Not long after, a group of Ice Seahorses approached. They were the first type of Seahorses that Han Sen's group had caught a glimpse of back in the Frozen Forest.

The eleven of Black Seahorses bobbed over to them, obviously keen to meet with the Ice Seahorses. The bigger seahorses crossed their necks with the necks of the other seahorses, like old couples.

The smaller Ice Seahorses were around them, all swimming happily. They were like one big, happy family.

When Han Sen saw them meet that way, Bao'er looked over at the chimenea with curiosity. She jumped out of Han Sen's arms and ran over to the peak it was sitting upon.

Han Sen was shocked. He wished to call her back, but he didn't want to spook and possibly alert the Black Seahorses. Han Sen was curious about the big chimenea, so he followed Bao'er to that same peak.

Little Fairy and Jade Little Lion also followed from behind. They all snuck up the peak from the other side.

The Black Seahorses were tying up their necks with the necks of the other seahorses, and as a result, they were unable to spot them.

The big chimenea was not lit, and it wasn't emitting any frosty air. Everyone went over to the peak, and Bao'er leaped atop the chimenea. Then, she stuffed her head inside the chimney. She looked around with great curiosity.

Han Sen was now right behind her, so he picked Bao'er up. He pulled her off the chimenea and then put his own head near the exhaust. He wanted to get a look inside the chimenea, too.

Chapter 1551: Creature in the Chimenea

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When Han Sen took a look inside, he was shocked. Inside the chimenea, a pair of eyes were looking up at him.

Fortunately, Han Sen had been through a lot, so he maintained his cool and did not look away. Instead, he just stared right back at the eyes.

It didn't look real. The owner of the eyes was something clad in armor, and it was dark like the chimenea itself. The being was sitting inside the chimenea with just its eyes showing, and Han Sen couldn't make out anything else. On some level, however, it looked human.

"Human? Spirit? Or humanoid creature?" Han Sen wondered to himself, as he continued staring back down at the pair of eyes in the armor.

Bao'er climbed atop Han Sen's shoulder and looked down the exhaust again. Seeing the creature clad in armor, even she thought it was a curious thing.

Not long after, Little Fairy, Jade Little Lion, Little Silver, and Little Star arrived. They also took a look at what was inside the chimenea. The eyes inside the chimenea were unmoving. They continued to stare at Han Sen and ignored the others that were now present.

Han Sen's heart eventually skipped a beat. With the eyes staring at him, it felt as if he was being watched. It shocked him, and he thought to himself, "Does this mean that this is the thing that keeps watching me in God's Ruin?"

As Han Sen continued to get stared at by those eyes, he wondered if the thing was watching every creature, or if it really was transfixed with Han Sen himself.

Han Sen had originally thought every creature that entered God's Ruin might get watched, but with the eyes staring at him, ignoring all the others, he did not think his theory was correct.

Little Fairy and the others all looked bored after seeing it. They thought it might be a treasure, not something living.

Still, in their hearts, there was some element of shock. The chimenea had exuded a horrible icy flame. It was brutal even in a neighboring proximity which prohibited them from getting close.

The creature was now sitting there in the chimenea, and only heaven would know how long it might have been burning for. Whatever the answer was, they could guess how powerful the creature inside might have been.

They were in such surprise, though, they didn't know if they should leave. The creature in the chimenea had seen them, and if it chose to alert the Black Seahorses and a chase ensued, they'd all find themselves dead very quickly.

Jade Little Lion and Little Star had become super class, but not even they would help triumph against eleven Black Seahorses.

Before they could run off, though, they heard a not-too-distant sound of crying. It shocked them.

They looked around for the source and saw a one-meter-tall Ice Seahorse. Somehow, it was inside the sea of clouds. With its megaphone-looking mouth, it was making those sounds at them.

It did not seem hostile, and it just looked at them with curiosity.

But after the noise subsided, the bigger Ice Seahorses and Black Seahorses quit their get-together. Then, a few dozen eyes turned to stare at Han Sen and his group.

"Run!" Han Sen said and immediately took off running.

Han Sen's power was very strong, but he had only reached super. Every Black Seahorse was super class, but there was also the Ice Seahorses backing them up and the enigmatic creature inside the chimenea. If they stayed behind for a fight, it was likely they would end up in bad shape.

They kept running downhill as the little seahorse followed.

The eleven Black Seahorses that had seen them looked incredibly angry, and they gave an earnest chase. They were much faster than Jade Little Lion, too, who was now super.

"Oh no! These Black Seahorses are too scary. We'll be dead if they catch us." Jade Little Lion looked back and was shocked by what he saw. A Black Seahorse was directly behind him.

Han Sen chomped his teeth, then grabbed Bao'er and Little Silver and brought them onto Little Star's back. Then he shouted, "Come up here! Run, Little Star!"

Little Fairy leaped up and so did the little seahorse. It looked like it was actually having fun.

Starsea Beast used its Starsea power, and then, its body shone with countless stars like a galaxy. Its speed was supremely fast now, as well.

"Wait for me!" Jade Little Lion caught up, but he was too big. All he could do was cling to Starsea Beast's tail.

With the stars all around, Starsea Beast's body enabled it to traverse through glaciers. The Black Seahorses were unable to catch anything, and all they did was crash into the glaciers, shattering them. Still, the Black Seahorses were determined and not yet willing to abandon the chase.

Starsea Beast continued to travel through the glaciers like this, as the Black Seahorses hounded them from behind. Aside from the Black Seahorses, the Ice Seahorses had started to chase them, too. They made a shrill moaning sound.

Dong!

All of a sudden, the Black Seahorses then turned and entered the clouds. The chains from the chimenea manifested and attached to the Black Seahorses. The chains bound the necks of the Black Seahorses and prohibited them from traveling any further. The chains pulled them back all the way to the chimenea.

They grumbled and grunted with anger, unable to escape the binding.

The Ice Seahorses were still able to maintain their pursuit of Starsea Beast, but when it traveled through a few additional glaciers, the seahorses lost track of Starsea Beast.

They were able to hear the cries of the seahorses when the pursuit was on, but they couldn't any longer.

"Starsea Beast is great for escaping." Han Sen felt rather happy on the inside. The speed and power of Starsea Beast, now that it was super, had increased by a lot.

Starsea Beast eventually came to a stop on an icy field. Everyone dismounted it at that point. Jade Little Lion made sure to examine Starsea Beast and profusely compliment the creature. "This brother can travel through objects? Wow. This is far too strong."

The little Ice Seahorse that had followed them now looked frightened. It spun around in circles, as if it could no longer find its mother. It kept crying as if it missed its parents.

They were now very far away from the seahorses, and no matter how hard it whined, its parents wouldn't hear it.

Bao'er jumped onto the back of the little Ice Seahorse, and with her fat hands, she stroked its head.

"Calm down! Don't be afraid. Bao'er is here for you."

The little Ice Seahorse rubbed its head into Bao'er as it cried. It looked as if it had found protection now, and it didn't look as helpless as it just had.

Chapter 1552: Back to Destiny's Tower

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen wanted to kill the little Ice Seahorse, but Bao'er seemed to like it. This prompted him to drop the idea.

"I never thought the chimenea would bear a creature like that. I wonder what it is," Jade Little Lion said.

"It's alive, so it cannot be the relic." Little Fairy looked annoyed.

"I don't know if it is the relic or not, but it would be best if we don't provoke it. The Black Seahorses are super creatures, but it can snare them with those chains with ease. They were completely unable to resist. The creature in the chimenea must be strong. I don't think we can fight it," Han Sen said, and then walked forward.

Everyone was of the same mind. Giving up on the chimenea, they then opted to try somewhere else.

The little Ice Seahorse followed after Bao'er. At first, the creature missed its group of seahorses, but after a while of playing with Bao'er, its mood turned happy again.

Han Sen spent the next few days traversing the ruins, but he couldn't find anything.

Of course, Han Sen did not care too much if he did not get a reward for the current endeavors, as he was spending a lot of time practicing the skill he learned from the Destiny's Tower. Once he was done, he was going to return there with Starsea Beast and see if he could take the treasure out of the tower with him.

( NovelFull ) The seven items in there had the possibility of being the relics that they were all seeking.

Little Fairy and the others searched in the ruins, as well. Han Sen, in the meantime, just took it for a nice trip and nothing more. He didn't expect to find anything else that was decent.

One particular day, after two weeks of traveling and searching, everything seemed to be the same for Han Sen. He sat on Starsea Beast's back and practiced the skill he was in the midst of learning. But suddenly, he felt his Life Door shake, and the pumping of his blood accelerated.

The blood in his body wasn't being driven by his heart anymore. Its rush was sustained by the Life Door now. And with each fresh pump, new changes came along with it. It was a brand-new cycle, and it brought changes to the way Han Sen's body operated.

The changes did not just apply to his blood. The blood was simply the catalyst for everything else. Han Sen's cells and genes were undergoing direct changes.

Han Sen's appearance mostly did not change. All the changes were internal, save for his black eyes that became red.

Aside from his eye color, though, Han Sen seemed exactly the same. There were a lot of changes to his insides, however.

Han Sen felt as if his bones and flesh had been wholly rebuilt. His entire body actually felt much heavier, by a few multiples. And yet, his body and bones were like a bird's. His blood was not carried by vessels, as it was directly entwined with his bones and flesh.

These changes made Han Sen's body feel far more sensitive. He was able to control himself better, and even his base power seemed to be much stronger.

When Han Sen looked at Starsea Beast and Jade Little Lion, though, he was given a shock. His vision had been altered with his new red eyes. With that red vision, Han Sen could see the blood that coursed through their bodies.

Or at least, that was what Han Sen thought at first. After a closer examination, Han Sen noticed it wasn't the blood he was observing.

If the blood was flowing, then its course must have been dictated by the heart. But this was not what Han Sen saw. A red force was inside their bodies, just flowing, and there was a saturation depicted in different areas on them. There was no set route to the flow he was seeing.

"Is that their lifeforce?" Han Sen guessed, although he was not sure.

Han Sen wanted to get a closer look, but he felt a pain in his head and his body started to twitch. It was like he was getting stabbed by a number of needles.

Han Sen stopped the skill immediately, and when he did that, the pain and needle-like sensation went away immediately. The changes in his body reverted back to how they were before he practiced the skill, and the blood began pumping from his heart, just like it used to.

( NovelFull ) Han Sen could feel his body was now rather weak, and he thought to himself, "This skill costs a lot of energy. I only had it activated for a few minutes, and already my body felt as if it was on the verge of collapsing. I wonder what my strength is like when I use this transformative skill? And was the red flow I saw their lifeforce?"

Han Sen rested for the next half-day. His body soon returned to normal, and there were no lasting effects or issues.

"It's time to go back to the white metal tower to collect the treasure there." Han Sen had also thought of a way in which he might get Little Fairy and Jade Little Lion out of his hair for a time. He told them it would be best to split up and search separately. So, Han Sen ended up just bringing Bao'er, Little Silver, and Little Star with him to the white tower.

The Little Ice Seahorse followed Bao'er, determined not to leave. As a result, Han Sen had no choice but to allow him to come.

Jade Little Lion was still, by all accounts, an outsider. And Little Fairy could be a touch suspicious. As a result, he didn't want them to come with him.

Starsea Beast brought Han Sen to a glacier mountain, the one that was populated by deadly flowers.

Starsea Beast was super class, and casting its traveling skill no longer cost it as much energy. It brought Han Sen right to the doorstep of the white tower.

Han Sen was excited, and he hastily threw the door open. He scrambled up to the top floor and saw the seven pedestals of treasure were still intact and untouched. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"It looks like God's Retribution really couldn't learn the skill. If he could, he would have come back here before me. Either that, or he can learn it and just hasn't finished yet," Han Sen thought.

Seeing the seven treasures sitting neatly on the stone pedestals, Han Sen cast the skill. His body engaged with all those weird changes again, and then he reached his hand out to see if he could go past the Space-Vortex Shield and grab the treasure.

Han Sen did this very carefully. His hand approached the prizes slowly. But when his nails brushed the end of the platform, the tips of his fingernails disappeared.

Han Sen's face changed. He pulled his hand back and said, "This skill doesn't even let me go past the Space-Vortex Shield?"

Han Sen had spent a lot of effort in coming here, and after all that, this was the result. It was dismal, and it sent a chill running through his heart.

As this happened, though, Han Sen heard a loud sound come from outside. It rocked the construct itself. Then, he heard the crying noises that were all too familiar to him.

Han Sen's face changed. He went up to the window and pushed it open.

Han Sen looked down from there, and it was just as he thought. Eleven Black Seahorses were situated right outside Destiny's Tower. They were blocking the entrance, too.

The eleven Black Seahorses repeatedly cried at the tower, making extremely loud screaming noises.

"Sh*t! Those Black Seahorses are really p*ssed, and they even brought the chimenea with them. If I knew they'd come after me, I wouldn't have brought the little Ice Seahorse." Han Sen thought the Black Seahorses had come there to rescue the small creature. The notion made him feel depressed.

Chapter 1553: Headless Rockman

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

He didn't know when the chimenea had begun spewing icy fire again, but that's what it was now doing.

The mouths of the eleven Black Seahorses were shaped like megaphones. They spat out frosty air at the white metal tower.

"Sh*t! Are those Black Seahorses that cruel? Even if I did steal your little Ice Seahorse, there's no need to freeze him and me together. You guys are crueler than tigers." Han Sen felt depressed, and he tried to think of a way he might escape this predicament.

The frosty air cropped across Destiny's Tower, webbing the entirety of its metal structure. Even if Little Star used its Starsea powers to escape, Han Sen thought they'd be frozen, anyway.

Boom!

The glaciers all around were broken by that frosty air. The peaks collapsed, and soon after, the cap of the white metal tower came crumbling down with them.

The deadly flowers had become nothing but icicles under the force of that frosty air. The cold ruined and destroyed any powers they possessed. And soon after, the very ground began to tear and come asunder. It was like the world was ending.

The eleven Black Seahorses and their power were too much. The wrath they unleashed could have definitely put them in the category of being berserk super creatures.

"F*ck! They're trying to kill me. Wait a minute… If they're using such powerful frosty air, then why don't I feel cold?" Han Sen was shocked when he realized he didn't feel cold, at all.

The frosty air froze the glaciers stiff until they broke, but Han Sen was not feeling a thing. The frosty air might as well have not even existed.

"Is it so cold that my brain froze, and now I cannot feel the cold anymore?" Han Sen pinched himself, but he did feel pain. His skin was still silky smooth, as well. He definitely wasn't frozen.

"What's going on? Has the white metal tower shielded us from the Black Seahorses' ice spit?" Amidst Han Sen's shock, he asked himself this question

The white metal tower was atop an ice mountain. The eleven Black Seahorses had broken the mountain with their frosty air. The white tower had been falling, but now, they were no longer feeling any such movement.

Han Sen quickly returned to the window, and what he saw surprised him.

The white metal tower hadn't fallen with the mountain. It was actually hanging in mid-air. A hand was there, holding it aloft in the sky.

It was a giant, rock-like hand. And the huge white tower was being casually held up by this hand. It wasn't taking up the entire hand, either. The tower looked like a toy that just happened to rest in its palm.

Han Sen followed the hand back to the arm that supported it. The hand was actually connected to a man made of rock. A giant rockman. It also just happened to be headless.

The rockman was sitting between the glaciers with its hand holding the white metal tower aloft. This was the headless rockman Han Sen had seen on the first floor of the white tower.

Now that rockman was shining, and the light it gave off was so bright, it obscured sight of the mountain itself. It was a god-like sort of magic.

"Destiny. Destiny."

A really sad voice came from the rockman. It was like he was saying you could not control destiny. Destiny was full of unfairness, and it was governed by cruelty.

Rockman had no head, though, so Han Sen wasn't sure where the voice was actually coming from. Regardless, it boomed like thunder. It made the blood inside his body vibrate so wildly, it felt like it was trying to break out.

When Han Sen looked at the eleven Black Seahorses and the chimenea next, his face changed.

The Black Seahorses and the chimenea had somehow become gigantic. They were almost as big as the rockman.

All the Black Seahorses looked like sun-class battleships. And the chimenea looked like an entire planet.

"Destiny. Destiny. My life is my life. My life is my life. It does not belong to the sky." Rockman's voice sounded even crazier than it had before. It was spoken with a force that should have been enough to sunder the earth. It was like an undying warrior, filled with a zeal for murder.

"After all these years, do you still not understand?" The chimenea now spoke, and it was a cold voice that came from it. It was not loud, but its volume was still greater than the rockman's. It came into Han Sen's ear without losing a single word.

That voice was unisex, too. Han Sen couldn't determine whether or not it was the voice of a woman or a man. But what Han Sen could tell was that it was the creature with the armor that was speaking.

"I won't understand, even in death." The rockman had a very loud and angry voice. Its other hand, which was like a mountain, came towards the eleven Black Seahorses and the chimenea.

It felt as if the ground was breaking when that big hand moved. Wherever the big hand went, the entire dimension was cracked. It felt like the whole world could be crushed below its might, whenever it struck.

The eleven Black Seahorses were screaming at it angrily. The megaphone lips that were like the gun emplacements on a sun-class battleship spat out frosty air. Their force was enough to impede and stop the movement of the stone hand.

That scary, frosty air made its hand freeze in place. The creatures then generated more ice, to encase it inside.

"You are dead. You should understand that." The chimenea spoke again with an even colder voice.

"I won't. Even if I die." The rockman sounded very sad, and he continued pushing down. The ice that encased his hand was broken and cast away, and the hand resumed its advance. It was going to break the heads of the eleven Black Seahorses.

Pop!

The eleven Black Seahorses spilled blood and fell back. Even they could not withstand the rockman's power.

"Let it burn to dust." With that cold voice, the chimenea's grate was opened. The ice fire came out, and it began to rapidly approach the body of the rockman.

Han Sen now knew that neither the rockman nor the Black Seahorses were coming after him. Still, witnessing such wrathful power was very frightening.

Han Sen had simply come there for treasure. He didn't expect to encounter such bad luck and stumble into the cross-fire of two bosses fighting. Compared to the chimenea and rockman, Han Sen's power was like a small river running into the sea. He was not very effective by comparison.

Seeing the ice flames come like a river, Han Sen was worried that the tower would be completely destroyed.

The rockman's hand that held the tower moved, and the tower flew through the air. It was going towards the airborne fire.

And then, Han Sen saw the frost get absorbed and nullified by the body of the white metal tower. It sucked it up clean.

Chapter 1554: Absorbing Blood Power

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen's face looked ill. There was a lot of icy fire getting absorbed by the tower, and if the interior filled up, the people inside would not fare well.

But Han Sen's fear of this did not materialize. The icy flames that were absorbed by the tower did not actually manifest on the interior. No fire appeared on the inside, threatening him. But on the top floor of the tower, another pedestal appeared. There was an ice flame on it, like a frosty flower rolling around.

Now Han Sen understood where the other seven items had come from. They were not placed there as treasure by those who constructed the tower. They were actually items that had been absorbed and claimed by the tower from others./updated by NovelFull

"These guys are too scary. I need to find a way to escape from here." Han Sen looked outside the tower and tried to think of a way in which he might make it away.

The ice flame hadn't hurt them this time, but who knew what might happen as the fight dragged on. It would be best if they left as soon as they were able to.

The situation outside made Han Sen want to avoid unnecessary risks, however. When the ice flames were absorbed by the tower, the tower was headed directly for the chimenea. It looked as if it was going to crush it. ( NovelFull )

The ice flames inside the chimenea had dispersed, but Han Sen wasn't sure if the fires were put out by the chimenea's own volition or if they had just been stolen.

A creature with black armor then emerged from the chimenea. It grabbed the metal tower headed for it and lifted it up. The tower was shining amidst that deflective power, and the creature was unable to crush the little thing.

The headless rockman was pressing down on the top of the tower, and his scary might was forcing it down. As he did this, the black armored creature pushed up from below. Those two frightening forces were pushing and pulling with unimaginable force.

The shockwaves generated came from the center of the tower, and the glaciers near them all broke. Chunks of ice were sent flying everywhere, and it created a terrifying scene.

Han Sen and Bao'er were not having a good time. The tower had absorbed a lot of power, but it was unable to block it all.

The rockman's power and the black armored foe's power were seeping into the interior of the tower. The rockman's power was like blood, though, and Han Sen thought it seemed rather familiar. He eventually realized it was the skill he had learned from inside this same tower.

"Does this headless rockman have a relationship to Human Emperor? Or is he himself Human Emperor?" Han Sen had a lot to think about.

The Black Armor Foe's power was very weird. It was a power that included both ice and fire, and combined them. Han Sen could not tell where the power came from, but it was extremely strong.

When those powers entered the tower, no damage was dealt to the interior. The powers did, however, cause a lot of trouble for Han Sen.

Inside the tower, it was suddenly cold and hot at the same time. And the blood power from the rockman made their blood flow inversely. It felt as if the blood was going to gush out from their bodies.

Little Silver and Starsea Beast did their best to resist both of those powers, but it wasn't going well. Their lifeforces were messed up, and there was a chance it could trigger a self-wrought combustion.

Han Sen summoned his God geno core and his Bloodlust Ant King to fight back that wretched combination of power. ( NovelFull )

The headless rockman and the Black Armor Foe were still engaged in combat, but neither of them seemed to be the dominant force. They were both locked against each other.

When Han Sen looked back outside, having the tower for shelter was far better than the surrounding region. The power outside was far too scary, and it made them realize there'd be no hope of escaping if they were to set foot outside the tower.

But Han Sen, feeling that power leak inside, thought to himself, "I practiced the skill of the tower, so maybe I can use my power to control the blood power that is trying to invade here. If I can control that power, I don't have to deal with both of their powers. I'd only have to deal with the ice and fire."

Han Sen cast the skill he had learned from the tower. He used the Blood-Pulse Sutra, and then his body went into a strange mode of operation.

Han Sen triggered the secret skill, but it didn't allow him to immediately control the blood power just yet. He felt like the blood power would eventually come, though, like it had been searching for a host.

Using this skill cost a lot of energy, however. And Han Sen knew he wouldn't be able to last long with it. But when the blood power began to seep inside of him, he felt a lot more awake. He no longer felt tired, and the headache and twitchy feelings vanished.

When the blood power was inside him, it was refined by the skill he was casting. It moisturized his transformed body, and the flesh and bones changed even more.

As more and more of that blood power was refined, Han Sen started to feel some weird connection between him and the tower.

He could feel the pulse of the tower, like his blood was connected to the construct. Of course, it was just a feeling more than anything. He couldn't physically control the tower.

As the fight went on, Han Sen felt the treasures on the pedestals start to get corroded by the weird power. They all started to fade, even that ice-flame.

The treasures on the rocks were melting, and a Godlight from the pedestals began to shine and illuminate the tower. The light melted into the construct itself. It made the tower shine brighter, and the strength it possessed increased.

"Are you really this stubborn in your refusal to understand?" the Black Armor Foe said.

The headless man of stone looked sad. "If understanding is my destiny, then I will forever forsake the need to understand."

"Then you will disappear." After that cold voice spoke again, the Black Armor Foe threw a punch towards the bottom of the tower. And then, the entire tower went flying through the air.

The rockman's hand that was holding the tower had been cleaved through, and his entire body went stumbling back.

The Black Armor Foe created another flame, and he used it to forge an Icefire Sword. With it, he slashed towards the rockman.

The swordflame was terrifying to witness, and the tower was now like the ceiling of the sky.

Han Sen saw the explosions erupting outside, and it genuinely felt like the earth was collapsing. He almost couldn't see what was going on.

The treasures on the pedestals had all melted into the tower at this point, and you could hear the weaponry hit the construct. Every impact made the tower's power even more messed up. The tower shook violently, like a magnitude ten earthquake.

Even Han Sen could not control his body. Silver Fox, Little Star, and Little Ice Seahorse were rolling around the interior non-stop.

Han Sen held Bao'er tight to his chest, not wanting her to suffer a hit. He cast the secret skill to absorb more of the tower's blood power so his companions did not have to endure it. Then, they would only have to deal with the ice and fire.

Fortunately, the metal tower was firmly built. Even after all those horrible impacts, it was solid and had not been broken. Only a small amount of that power was able to seep through, and it was enough for them all to withstand.

Chapter 1555: Emperor Geno Core

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After what felt like a century to Han Sen, he heard a giant rumbling noise.

Han Sen's entire body bounced up, hitting the top of the tower, and then fell back to the floor. After that, things went back to normal. The metal tower stopped shaking, the energies suffusing the tower vanished, and everything was quiet.

"Is it finished? Who won?" Han Sen climbed up from the floor, shook his head, and looked around. "Little Silver, Little Star, are you both okay?"

Little Silver, Little Star, and that little Ice Seahorse all climbed up from the ground, shaking their heads and bodies, looking dizzy. Fortunately, none of them were injured. Though their forces were a bit weaker, nothing appeared to be seriously wrong with them.

Han Sen was relieved seeing them all okay. He then ran to the tower window and looked outside, and he was shocked by what he saw.

The tower was now submerged in water, as if it were in an aquarium. Many sea creatures were visible through the window, swimming around them.

Han Sen reached out his hands, and what he touched was indeed water. He looked up, and there was something that looked like blurry clouds above them. There were many strange cracks in the surface of the blurry clouds.

Han Sen took a serious look, and then he realized what had happened. The metal tower had cracked the ice and sunk into the ocean, and now they were at the bottom of the sea.

Quite a few marine creatures were visible, but he couldn't see the rockman or the Black Armor Foe anywhere he looked. The marine creatures only had mutant lifeforces at best, so they were not a threat to Han Sen. Han Sen decided to venture out of the tower.

Han Sen swam toward the cracks in the ice, and after he reached the surface, he found himself surrounded by icebergs and unable to see the mountains anymore.

"Are we not in God's Ruin anymore?" Han Sen looked around, but he couldn't feel that strange power around him anymore, which meant he was no longer in God's Ruin.

The Headless Rockman and the Black Armor Foe had been fighting for such a long time that their access to God's Ruin had closed.

Han Sen looked around, but he couldn't see the Headless Rockman or the Black Armor Foe, and neither could he sense the power ripples around him, so he dived back towards the metal tower in the ocean.

Little Silver looked much better, and the others had also regained consciousness. Little Silver was healing the Little Ice Seahorse's injuries using his lightning.

As for Little Star, it had already reached super level, so it had a much stronger body and wasn't injured very badly.

Han Sen ran down to the first floor, but he couldn't find that headless stone figure. As for the metal tower, its first floor was completely empty. Aside from the technique inscribed on the walls, nothing was left.

"Just as I expected; the Headless Rockman was the headless stone figure in the tower," Han Sen thought. "Where did he go, I wonder? Can I control the metal now?"

Despite having been used to fight that horrifying Black Armor Foe for so long, the metal tower was so sturdy that it wasn't damaged. It was definitely a top-tier item.

During the fight, Han Sen had sensed that he was somehow connected to the metal tower, so he wondered if it would be possible for him to claim the metal tower for his own.

However, he couldn't sense the connection between him and the metal tower anymore. Han Sen hesitated, and then he used his techniques again, letting his body enter that strange state.

As he did so, he immediately felt the bizarre connection between him and the metal tower. It was stronger than before.

Han Sen had tried to control the metal tower while the Headless Rockman and the Black Armor Foe were fighting, but he hadn't been successful. Now that the Headless Rockman was gone, however, there was a chance that he might succeed.

Han Sen was just giving a shot. He might be able to bring the metal tower under his control if things went well, and even if he couldn't do it, he would lose nothing by trying.

Han Sen moved his thoughts, and the metal tower immediately started to shake, making rumbling noises as if it were falling down. Han Sen quickly got out of the metal tower with Little Silver and the others, then turned to look back at the metal tower.

The tower shook and began to shrink quickly, and after only a short while, it reduced to the size of a man's palm. The power inside Han Sen's body was flowing, and the tower shot into his Sea of Soul.

At the same time, there was a familiar voice echoing beside Han Sen's ears, which exhilarated him, "Emperor Geno Core Godly Tower gained."

"Emperor Geno core. It's indeed a top-tier item."

Han Sen didn't know the exact differences between emperor geno cores and super geno cores, but he knew that emperors should correspond to berserk super creatures, so emperor cores would be more powerful than super cores.

Just as he was about to summon the Godly Tower to check its power, Han Sen felt a strong headache and his body began to twitch. He had to deactivate the skill and return his body to its normal state first.

However, after deactivating the skill and trying to summon the Godly Tower, he found that he couldn't connect to it anymore. The tower was slumbering in his Sea of Soul like a dead object.

"Can I only utilize the Godly Tower while I'm transformed?" Han Sen was a little bummed.

If he could only summon the Godly Tower while he had that weird skill running, then he would only be able to use it for a short period of time.

Han Sen took Bao'er and the others to swim out of the ocean and return to the icebergs. He wanted to figure out where they were, but they were surrounded by icebergs and ocean, and he couldn't see a single ice mountain. Apparently, they were already far from God's Ruin.

Since Han Sen had no idea where they were, he needed to pick a direction to travel. He picked south.

Little Star was carrying all of them, which allowed them to move quickly and with little effort, and with Little Silver present, most creatures wouldn't dare to get close to them. After only a few days, they had stepped out of the ice zone.

Everything around them looked strange, and Han Sen had no idea where they were. Han Sen had to ask Little Star to keep heading south, and after only ten miles, he heard people fighting somewhere in front of them.

"Humans?" Han Sen smiled as he listened to the noises. That yelling could only come from humans.

Han Sen took Little Silver and walked forward. If they were really humans, he could at least ask them where he was.

After climbing through some mountains, he saw several humans encircling a mutant creature. Amazingly, he knew one of the humans.

However, the group wasn't doing well. Although the humans were working together to fight the mutant creature, it was still crushing them. They could barely maintain their formation.

The leader of those humans seemed to be Iron Fist Jia Shidao.

When Han Sen joined the Demigod Association, he had come into conflict with Jia Shidao, and it ended pretty badly.

"I can't believe I'm so unlucky. I've finally run into some humans, yet I'm at odds with one of them. Why do I keep running into people I don't want to see?" Han Sen thought.

Jia Shidao was powerful. He had an iron fist glove on his right hand, which seemed to be his geno core. Each strike from that fist left a scar across the scales of that mutant creature.

As for his companions, they were relatively weak. They weren't strong enough to break the creature's scales. When they hit the mutant creature with their blades, they were basically just scratching its back.

That mutant creature looked bizarre. Its body looked like a turtle's, but it didn't have a shell; instead, it was covered by thick scales.

Jia Shidao seemed to have a gemstone geno core, and when his glove hit the creature, it slashed the scales half a foot deep. Each impact left behind visible flesh and seeping blood.

That mutant creature was attacking the humans savagely, damaging the formation that Jia Shidao and the others were trying to maintain. The creature was relatively slow, so it wasn't a deadly threat, but it looked ferocious.

"Hi all, need some help?" Han Sen moved closer to them, bringing Little Silver and the others with him, but he didn't help them immediately.

The fight was still ongoing. He didn't get along with Jia Shidao well, so if he made a move, they might think that he was trying to steal their kill.

"Please do, my friend!" Jia Shidao and the others were overjoyed. They were having a hard time fighting the mutant creature as they couldn't injure it severely, and they were quickly becoming exhausted. They might not even survive the battle. It would be great if someone could help them now.

Yet Jia Shidao was dazed when he turned his head and saw Han Sen.

After getting a confirmation, Han Sen didn't hesitate. He immediately summoned his Split-Blade geno core. He moved his body and instantly arrived beside the mutant creature, cutting through it.

The mutant creature and its thick scales were sliced in half like a piece of tofu.

Jia Shidao and the others were shocked. They stared at the dead mutant creature.

That mutant creature was called Chou Shell Beast, and it had powerful defenses, even among the sacred-blood creatures. Yet Han Sen had cut the creature in half with a single strike. Even Jia Shidao was stunned by that.

"Sacred-blood creature Chou Shell Beast killed. Beast soul gained. Geno core unobtained. Eat the flesh to gain zero to ten sacred geno points randomly."

Han Sen hadn't expected to get the beast soul, which thrilled him.

Slashing Blade was a super geno core, and it was one of the most destructive super geno cores. It could kill a sacred-blood creature easily, and it was a happy surprise for him to get a sacred-blood beast soul as well.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Jia," said Han Sen, looking at Jia Shidao.

Jia Shidao forced a smile and said, "It has indeed been a long time, brother Han. Your power has improved so much. It was so easy for you to kill a Chou Shell Beast. You must be at the super level already."

"It's not that easy to get super genes. My sacred geno points are just maxed already, and I was lucky enough to get a highly destructive geno core," said Han Sen, smiling.

Others also went up to Han Sen and talked to him. They were all experienced demigods, and Han Sen had heard of them all. However, other than Jia Shidao, Han Sen hadn't met any of them.

They were more joyful after realizing that Han Sen didn't want the flesh and blood of the Chou Shell Beast. They relaxed, and they answered all the questions Han Sen had in detail.

Han Sen wasn't amused to find out where he was now.

There was a human shelter nearby, which was where Jia Shidao and the others all lived. It was one of the few top-tier shelters owned by humans.

However, Han Sen didn't want to see the owner of that shelter.

Though many more humans had become demigods over the last decade, Luo Haitang still stood far above the rest. The shelter Jia Shidao and his friends were staying at was known as Godslayer Shelter, and it was ruled by Luo Haitang.

Han Sen was a little hesitant about the idea of entering Godslayer Shelter.

It wasn't entirely Luo Haitang's fault that Han Sen's mom left the Luo family, so Han Sen didn't have any specific animosity toward Luo Haitang for that. However, Luo Haitang had tricked Han Yan into practicing the Falsified-Sky Sutra, which deeply upset Han Sen, so he had a very bad impression of Luo Haitang and his family.

If Luo Haitang ran into trouble, the Luo family would ask Han Yan, who was just a girl, to fulfill their family oath. That oath was a promise passed from generation to generation, and it required one of their family members to fight a shura every ten years. It was a family curse, which was forced upon Han Yan by Luo Haitang, which was the main reason why Han Sen had a grudge against Luo Haitang and his family.

"Han Sen, your great-grandfather Mr. Luo is in the shelter now. Do you want us to take you to see him?" asked Liu Che, one of the demigods.

Han Sen hesitated, but he shook his head and said, "No need. I still have something else to do."

Finishing that, Han Sen planned to leave. He now had some idea of where he was, so it would be easy for him to get back to God's Ruin.

The fairy was still in God's Ruin, and Han Sen needed to go back and take his share of the profits from the Godlight Tunnel. He planned to get back to God's Ruin and check if Jade, the Little Lion King, and the fairy were still there.

Jia Shidao hesitated, then called to Han Sen, "Brother Han, please hold on for a minute."

"What else do you want?" Han Sen asked, stopping and looking at Jia Shidao.

Jia Shidao clenched his teeth, forced another smile, and said, "Brother Han, I have some business to discuss with you. Are you interested?"

"What business?" Han Sen looked at Jia Shidao, confused.

"It's about killing a super creature. I've found some opportunities that we can kill super creatures, but I'm not strong enough to break their bodies. However, with the power of your geno core, you might have a chance," said Jia Shidao.

"What's a super sacred creature?" Han Sen was interested.

He was definitely interested in killing some super creatures to get their life geno essences. Han Sen had only gained control of one life geno essence, which belonged to that dog; as for the others, he hadn't had time to absorb them.

"It's kind of complicated. Let's go back to the shelter where we can talk. I can guarantee that you'll be interested in it," said Jia Shidao.

Chapter 1557: The Luo Family

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen hesitated, but he still followed Jia Shidao back to Godslayer Shelter.

According to Jia Shidao, there wasn't only one super creature; instead, there was a group of them. Also, if someone had enough power to break the skin and flesh of those super creatures, it would be easy to kill them all.

Even Han Sen was interested in that, so he wanted to learn more. Though there were some conflicts between him and Jia Shidao, they were small issues that could be set aside when both of them had proper motivation.

Though Han Sen didn't particularly want to see members of the Luo family, he wasn't scared of meeting them.

Godslayer Shelter was enormous, and chances were good that it was a super shelter. However, only a small number of the members were humans, while the vast majority of them were creatures and spirits.

That was normal. After all, there was only a small number of humans in the Fourth God's Sanctuary, so even in shelters belonging to humans, humans were a minority.

Just as Han Sen and Jia Shidao entered the shelter and began walking towards Jia Shidao's house, Han Sen saw a couple of humans walking towards him. One of them was Luo Li.

Luo Li wasn't really Luolan's sister, but Han Sen still needed to call her aunt. A long time ago, Luo Li went to Han Sen and asked him to practice the Falsified-Sky Sutra, but Han Sen didn't know that the woman was his aunt until his mother told him.

Luo Li was talking to two men as she walked out of the shelter. Two men followed Luo Li's gaze and saw Han Sen. They didn't seem to recognize Han Sen.

"Who is this, Jia Shidao? Is he a new demigod?" said one of the men. Despite the fact that he was speaking to an experienced demigod like Jia Shidao, the man was aloof and casual.

Jia Shidao smiled and said, "This is actually a relative of yours. Don't you know him?"

"Relative? The Luo family doesn't have any relatives," Luo Yu said, curling his lips and as if disgusted with what Jia Shidao had just said.

Because of the power of Godslayer Luo, the Luo family had never actually cared about the ordinary people of the Alliance. They didn't even respect other demigods.

After all, many demigods in Godslayer Shelter were under the protection of the Luo's, so almost all the demigods venerated those of Luo family, and after a long time, the Luo's had become filled with pride.

That pride had been injured twice before. One time was when Luo Haitang chose Han Sen as his heir, and the other was when he chose Han Yan as his heir.

They were crushed by that. Though the Luo family wasn't large, there were plenty of members in the sanctuaries. The fact that Luo Haitang had chosen someone outside the family instead of them deeply frustrated them, and they felt wronged by the Han family.

However, because of their pride, they deliberately showed disdain to the Han's, and they didn't even seem to care about Han Sen and Han Yan. They even tried to avoid hearing news of them.

Just like someone would switch channels if they saw someone they hated on TV.

In truth, there were only a few families in the Alliance that the Luo's actually paid attention to.

"That's right. Han Sen's mother is Luo Lan. You guys are uncles of Han Sen," said Jia Shidao.

Both Luo Yu and Luo Hui were dismayed hearing the names "Han Sen" and "Luolan." In the Luo family, these two names were taboos.

"You're Han Sen. It's impressive that you became a demigod by yourself at such a young age, but you didn't follow the correct path, so you'll never make it to the top," said Luo Yu coldly.

"Is this guy mental?" Han Sen frowned. He'd never met Luo Yu before, but the man was being incredibly impolite for no reason. Little did Han Sen know, many people in the Luo family had wanted to succeed Luo Haitang, yet Luo Haitang had picked Han Sen instead. What's worse, Han Sen hadn't given a d*mn about the Falsified-Sky Sutra, which upset the Luo's.

From the perspective of the Luo's, they were the most powerful family in the Alliance, so the Falsified-Sky Sutra had to be the strongest technique. How Han Sen behaved was both ignorant and laughable.

"What correct path?" said Han Sen, looking at Luo Yu.

He had something of a grudge against the Luo's as well, so he wouldn't just let this matter go.

Luo Yu sneered. "It's useless to talk to stupid people."

Finishing that, Luo Yu walked by Han Sen, completely ignoring him.

"Is there something wrong with them?" Han Sen asked with a frown. Luo Yu had been incredibly annoying.

"Let's go back and talk." Jia Shidao originally thought that the Han's were close to the Luo's, which was why he introduced them to each other. He hadn't expected the whole thing to turn out so awkwardly, so he changed the topic quickly.

Luo Yu and Luo Hui both walked away. Luo Li looked at Han Sen without saying anything.

She wasn't a real member of the Luo family, as she was adopted. Though she also had some of the Luo pride, she wasn't as arrogant as Luo Yu.

And because of Luo Lan, Luo Li paid extra attention to the Han's, so she knew much more about Han Sen than Luo Yu did. She knew that Han Sen was actually an incredible person, and Luo Yu couldn't begin to compare with him.

However, she belonged to the Luo family after all, so she shouldn't say much to Han Sen, who had been scorned by the Luo's.

Luo Li continued walking with Luo Yu, but she found an excuse to leave soon after. She went to the place where Luo Haitang lived and told him that Han Sen had arrived at Godslayer Shelter.

Han Sen followed Jia Shidao to where he lived. Jia Shidao explained his proposal to Han Sen.

Jia Shidao had discovered a special kind of super creature. These super creatures couldn't move themselves, but they had exceptional defenses. It was difficult for Jia Shidao and the others to injure mere sacred-blood creatures, so it was impossible for them to kill that kind of super creature.

After seeing Han Sen's incredible attack power, he had decided to invite Han Sen back as he wanted to collaborate with Han Sen to kill those creatures.

Han Sen didn't ask where those super creatures were; instead, he asked about their basic characteristics.

Han Sen frowned, then repeated what Jia Shidao had just said. "They are born on the ground, and they have a narrow attack range, so they can just stand there and be hit. Super creatures like that really exist?"

"They're real! I saw them with my own eyes! I'm the only one who knows that place. If you're willing to cooperate with me, I'll take you there in the near future." Jia Shidao pointed at the sky with his fingers and swore.

"Why are we doing this in the near future instead of now?" asked Han Sen.

Jia Shidao answered, "I've talked about this with the Luo's, but I haven't reached an agreement with them yet. It might take a little time, but you can relax. After I've reached a deal with the Luo's, I'll definitely count you in."

Han Sen immediately knew what Jia Shidao meant. Jia Shidao himself wasn't able to kill those super creatures, so he wanted to cooperate with the Luo's, but he was afraid that the Luo's would betray him.

Now that Han Sen had come, he wanted to use Han Sen to balance the Luo's. That would be to Jia Shidao's benefit, or at least, it might keep him from being exploited by either party.

It was possible that Jia Shidao had arranged for Han Sen and Luo Yu to run into each other. He might have wanted to see first-hand whether the relationship between Han Sen and the Luo's was really that bad.

"Though Jia Shidao has a good plan, the Luo's are too tyrannical to give him this chance. He might need to make a choice between us after all." Han Sen didn't say it out loud. Instead, he agreed that he would stay in Godslayer Shelter for a couple of days to wait for Jia Shidao's news.

Han Sen made good use of the time, absorbing the rest of his life geno essences. Now, his super gene count had already reached 26 points, and his body was greatly improved.

Han Sen then went back to the Alliance and told his family that he was okay.

After only a couple of days, Jia Shidao went to Han Sen again, and he smiled and said, "Brother Han, I'm really worried. Luo Yu heard that you're joining, and now there's no way that he will go along with it, no matter what I say. This place belongs to the Luo's, so I don't know what to do…"

Han Sen wasn't very concerned about what Jia Shidao had said. Apparently, Jia Shidao had chosen to side with the Luo's over him.

"Then I'll just wish you all good luck," Han Sen said, then left.

"Old Jia, are you really cooperating with the Luo's?" A demigod following Jia Shidao asked him after Han Sen left.

"I just didn't expect the relationship between the Luo's and Han Sen to be this bad. If Han Sen joins, Luo Yu and the others will quit completely. If I have to choose between them, I think the Luo's are more reliable, so that's the only decision I can make," said Jia Shidao.

"Why didn't you choose Han Sen? He is incredibly powerful. And he's only one person, so we wouldn't have to share as much of the profits," said the demigod, confused.

Jia Shidao shook his head and said, "We know that Han Sen is powerful, but we don't know exactly how powerful. We all know the strength of the Luo's, though. Besides, Han Sen hasn't practiced the Falsified-Sky Sutra. We're already depending on the Luo's for our survival, so it's better if we side with them."

After Han Sen left Jia Shidao's house, he intended to leave Godslayer Shelter. He had just been trying his luck; now that the deal had fallen through, he found no reason to stay here any longer.

However, before Han Sen could reach the gate of the shelter, he saw Luo Li standing near him.

"The Godslayer wants to see you," said Luo Li, directly.

"I don't want to see him." Han Sen wasn't very fond of Luo Haitang, so he rejected Luo Li directly. He walked around her, leaving Godslayer Shelter.

"He wants to talk about Han Yan." What Luo Li said stopped Han Sen.

"There's nothing to talk about. Don't think you can drag Little Yan down just because she's practiced the Falsified-Sky Sutra. Her last name is Han, not Luo," said Han Sen, dismayed.

"It's useless for you to say anything to me. You can just talk about it to the Godslayer, or are you scared?" said Luo Li.

"Okay, I'll go to him and talk." Han Sen knew that Luo Li was provoking him, but what she said did make sense. Also, he was powerful enough to talk with Luo Haitang.

Han Sen wouldn't involve Han Yan in that endless vicious cycle, no matter what. That was an abyss, and if she was trapped in it, she'd never get out. Han Sen would rather die than let something like that happen to his sister.

"Please." Luo Li made a gesture and started to lead the way.

Han Sen followed Luo Li all the way to a room in the shelter. Han Sen thought that the place where Luo Haitang lived would be exquisite, if not luxurious, yet he was shocked when he saw the residence.

Luo Haitang's home was very frugal. It was so simple that it only had a bed, a desk, and a chair. Other than that, the entire room was bare.

Luo Haitang had come to see Han Sen once, when an accident in the sanctuary had left Han Sen gravely injured. Now, Luo Haitang looked exactly the same as he had then.

Luo Haitang was sitting behind the desk, looking at Han Sen. The legendary Godslayer Luo, who had roamed the sanctuaries as he pleased, looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. He wasn't aggressive at all. He looked at Han Sen peacefully.

"Don't even think about exploiting Little Yan. She's a Han, not a Luo. You have no right to make her fight for your family," Han Sen said straightforwardly.

Luo Haitang wasn't upset. He waved his hand, then Luo Li left the room, closing the door behind her.

Han Sen opened his mouth to say something, but Luo Haitang spoke first. "I'm dying."

Han Sen was shocked for a moment. He looked carefully at Luo Haitang, but he found that Luo Haitang was still quite lively, and there was no sign of him withering away. The power inside him was still terrific. He didn't look like someone who was going to die at all.

"Do you really think you can trick Little Yan into fighting for you? Your life is the business of your family, and it has nothing to do with mine," Han Sen said apathetically.

Luo Haitang sighed. "If there was actually someone useful in my family, I wouldn't have gone to you two, and I wouldn't have used the methods that I did."

Luo Haitang paused for a short while and went on to say, "As long as I'm alive, I won't let you juniors carry such a fate. But I am truly dying, and I only have five years left to live. The next battle against the Jade Shura will happen in six years, but I won't make it that long. I can only ask Han Yan to take over the fight; that's the only chance we have of surviving."

"Again, that's your concern, which has nothing to do with us. Let me repeat myself: there's no way that Little Yan will help you Luo's fight," said Han Sen, coldly.

Luo Haitang shook his head. "She's practiced the real Falsified-Sky Sutra. Even if she's not going, the Jade Shura will look for her."

Chapter 1559: Jade Shura Is Jade Shura

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen thought, "Then you're just playing us! You're the renowned Godslayer Luo, and you're my great-grandfather."

Han Sen didn't say that out loud; after all, the old man was one of Han Sen's seniors.

Before Han Sen said anything, Luo Haitang continued, "Though I don't want to admit it, the truth is that the Jade Shura, who have much more Shura blood, are much better at practicing the Falsified-Sky Sutra. In order to win against the Jade Shura, I have to resort to some special methods, which quickly burns away my life. No matter how hard I try, I won't last another five years. I don't have a choice, so I have to find someone to take over my position."

After pausing for a short while, Luo Haitang said, "I'm not saying this to make you empathize with me. I'm just telling you exactly what's happening, and I want you to know that it's true for Han Yan too. If you really care about her, you should help her win the battle she's going to engage in six years from now."

"I've told you, that I won't let Han Yan fight for your family. That's not her destiny." Though Han Sen was surprised that Luo Haitang might actually die in the near future, he wasn't willing to compromise on the issue of Han Yan.

Luo Haitang looked at Han Sen as if he were looking at a spoiled brat. He smiled and asked, "Then what are you planning to do?"

"They want the Falsified-Sky Sutra, right? I'll just give it to them," said Han Sen.

Luo Haitang shook his head mildly. "Even if you gave it to them, the Jade Shura wouldn't let you go easily. Do you really think they'll allow someone else to know the Falsified-Sky Sutra? Even if you give it to them, they'll also try to kill Han Yan. Even those who have been exposed to the Falsified-Sky Sutra, like your mother, might be hunted down."

"Then I'll kill them all," said Han Sen.

Luo Haitang stopped defending himself. Instead, he said, "Don't you think the term 'Jade Shura' sounds a bit familiar?"

"What do you mean?" Han Sen asked, confused.

Luo Haitang shook his head and continued, "The empress of the Shura race is named Jade Shura. Do you think this is only a coincidence?"

"The Shura Empress is the Jade Shura of this generation?" Han Sen looked dazed. Though he also thought it was weird that the names of these two were so similar, he hadn't expected the Shura Empress to be a descendent of the Jade Shura.

The Shura had a much stronger emphasis on bloodline than humans, and Jade Shura had been a human. He procreated with the Shura race at first, but afterward his descendants procreated with humans, so the Jade Shura only had a tiny portion of shura genes. It was shocking to Han Sen that one of them could actually become an empress of the Shura.

Luo Haitang nodded. "The empress is the descendent of Jade Shura in this generation, and she's the most powerful descendent. Though she's only practiced half the Falsified-Sky Sutra, I could barely win against her in the last battle, and her power is still growing. Even if, against all odds, I'm still alive in five years, there's a good chance that I might be defeated by her."

Luo Haitang took out a chip and a journal, giving them to Han Sen. "This is the record of the battles between me and the Jade Shura, and some of the techniques I developed that go with the Falsified-Sky Sutra. I hope you can give them to Little Yan. She must win the battle in six years. If she loses, not only my family will be d*mned, but the entire Alliance will be as well. I can't imagine the power of a Jade Shura who had practiced the entire Falsified-Sky Sutra."

Han Sen didn't take the chip or the journal. He said calmly, "Han Yan is my sister, so I'll be the one who teaches her. You don't need to worry about it. I'll say it one last time; don't go disturb my sister. I'll kill anyone who does, whether that's you or the Jade Shura."

Han Sen prepared to leave.

"Young man, you're being too stubborn. You're behaving just like Lan Er, rebellious and unwilling to listen to others' opinions," said Luo Haitang. "Have you ever thought that your recklessness might cost Little Yan's life, and even your mother's?"

Luo Haitang saw that Han Sen still didn't want to listen. He sighed. "If I had any other options, I wouldn't have chosen you guys. Even if my family is destroyed, you guys can still live happily and peacefully, but the fact is, Lan Er has also practiced the Falsified-Sky Sutra. Even if the Luo's are annihilated, Jade Shura won't let her go easily. You were born in the wrong family, so whether I force you or not, the Jade Shura will come for you sooner or later."

"Just take it, son. This is the hope of my family, and also the hope of your family." Luo Haitang gave Han Sen the chip and the journal.

Han Sen looked at Luo Haitang. The legendary Godslayer Luo seemed like a dying old man. Though he didn't look old from the outside, he was indeed old inside.

Out of nowhere, Han Sen felt pity for Luo Haitang. He sighed. "What did you do? Why do you only have five years left to live? You still look pretty spry to me, and you don't seem to have any internal injuries."

Luo Haitang said, "My potential in the Luo family is definitely at pinnacle level, but compared to those from the Jade Shura, my Falsified-Sky Sutra is weak. The blood of the Shura determines much of the power of the Falsified-Sky Sutra, and to win over the Jade Shura, I resorted to something that no human being has ever tried before. I practiced 'Shura Change' as a mere human being."

"The Shura genes in my family are almost negligible, and with that tiny remaining bloodline, I started to practice 'Shura Change' as a human being. Luckily, the benefits were beyond my imagination. My power was much greater than that of ordinary human beings after that."

Luo Haitang looked kind of smug. "That power combined with the Falsified-Sky Sutra made me invincible in the shelter, but at the same time, I lost the ability to gain power from the shelter. I can use the flesh of creatures to strength my own body, but I can't manipulate spirit genes like you do or gain their powers. The only thing I can use is the power of my body and power of Falsified Sky, but those two combined are enough for me to fight the most powerful creatures. There are only a few humans or creatures that can actually rival me."

"However, that kind of power has also over-exploited my body. You can feel that I have much more energy than other human beings. I'm like a balloon that has been blown too big. Though it looks sturdy, it might explode at any time. I'm trying to suppress the power, but it's still surging. In five years, or even three to four years, I won't be able to suppress the power anymore," said Luo Haitang.

Chapter 1560: An Incredible Son

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen observed Luo Haitang carefully with his Dongxuan Aura, and he indeed found something unusual.

Luo Haitang's life force was indeed powerful, but it was too much. That kind of power was like a bonfire burning hard. The greater the fire was, the more quickly the body would be burned out.

Luo Haitang's life force was still terrifically strong even under his suppression, though it was getting out of his control. Han Sen now believed much more of what the man had just said.

"I've also included the method for practicing Shura Change, but I've already changed it a little bit. It isn't as powerful as the version I practice, but thankfully, it does almost no damage to your body." Luo Haitang continued after pausing for a second. "If Han Yan can improve her power to the level of the Jade Shura over the next several years, then she won't need this thing, but if she can't, then it will be better to take some damage than to lose the competition and lose lives."

As he spoke, Luo Haitang tried to give the chip and the journal to Han Sen again.

Han Sen didn't take it. He looked at Luo Haitang and said, "I can understand your reasoning, but I still don't need this."

"Don't be so stubborn, son. It has to do with the lives of your mother and sister. You have to compromise sometimes, no matter who you are."

Han Sen shook his head. "I've told you that Little Yan is from my family. I'll teach her myself, and as for this stuff, it belongs to your family. I don't need the stuff from your family. Besides, you're already dying inside. Something written by someone who's dying inside will only hurt Little Yan if she reads it."

Luo Haitang smiled, but he looked more solemn. He stared at Han Sen and said, "It seems I should show you the true power of a Falsified God. Then you'll change your mind."

"I'm not really a stubborn guy, but there's no bargaining on this issue. I'll never change my mind," said Han Sen firmly.

"Just read it first." Luo Haitang felt that he had wronged Luo Lan and Han Yan, which was why he was being very gentle when he was talking to Han Sen. Even Luo Haitang's immediate family hadn't seen him so good-tempered before.

Even so, Luo Haitang wanted to teach Han Sen something, but he didn't want to do the young man harm. The more he looked at Han Sen, the more the young man seemed like Luo Lan.

It was more in their attitudes than their appearances. Once they'd made up their mind, nobody could change it. Others might hit a dead end and come back, but Luo Lan wouldn't turn aside even if she ran into a brick wall.

Han Sen's attitude reminded Luo Haitang of Luo Lan. That Lan Er, who he always scolded but always kept by his side.

Luo Haitang waved his hand and slapped toward Han Sen's shoulders, and that strike contained the power of Falsified Sky.

Unlike Han Yan's Falsified Sky power, Luo Haitang's Falsified Sky power was already merged with his entire body, so it didn't seem unbalanced. It was only an ordinary slap, the way friends might slap each other on the shoulders.

Han Sen suddenly looked solemn. Luo Haitang was as powerful as any super creature being in the Fourth God's Sanctuary.

To Han Sen, that simple slap seemed to bear the weight of endless karma, and that palm was destined to fall on his shoulder. Even deities wouldn't be able to change anything.

All of a sudden, Han Sen ran the Dongxuan Sutra as hard as it would go, and he isolated his entire body from everything around him, and he tried to cast out every molecule that didn't belong to him.

Even so, Han Sen could still feel that Luo Haitang's palm might fall onto his shoulders at any second.

"Incredible. The force from the Dongxuan Sutra easily broke the Falsified Sky power from Luo Li, but it's almost useless against Luo Haitang. No wonder he's called Godslayer Luo." Han Sen was amazed.

The aura from his body was operating fast, breaking the threshold. All of a sudden, the entire world looked completely different to Han Sen.

The maximum power of the Dongxuan Sutra was called "Covering the sky with one hand," but it wasn't only a technique of the hand.

With one step, the chain of order attached to Han Sen crumbled.

Han Sen took a step back from Luo Haitang's palm, which stunned the old man. His palm froze in the sky, and he couldn't say anything.

"Goodbye." Han Sen took a bow, then he turned around and left.

He had finally seen the real Falsified-Sky Sutra, and he finally saw the true power of Luo Haitang.

When it came to strength, Luo Haitang was at the same level as Gu Qingcheng. Both of them were incredible beings, and it was difficult to tell which one was stronger.

Han Sen was weaker than they were, but he had also just proved that the Dongxuan Sutra was stronger than the Falsified-Sky Sutra.

Luo Haitang only realized what happened after Han Sen left the room. He looked at the empty doorway and whispered, "Lan Er, you have an incredible son. Perhaps the fate of our family will depend on him and his generation. Someone from the Luo family has actually gotten this powerful without practicing the Falsified-Sky Sutra. Others might not believe me if I tell them. How will the Jade Shura react if they see him?"

Suddenly, Luo Haitang smiled. "Interesting. I can't believe I'm getting to see something this amazing before I die. Unfortunately, I won't live to see the day when he is standing against the Jade Shura. What a shame."

Right after Han Sen left Luo Haitang's room, Luo Li joined him and asked, "What did you talk about with Godslayer Luo?"

"The same old issues. Why did you even ask? You already know," said Han Sen.

"You've agreed that Han Yan can come to our family?" Luo Li was glad.

"Impossible! Han Yan is a member of the Han family, not one of you," said Han Sen, disturbed.

"What?! How shallow you are. She's from a different family, and it's more than lucky for you to be able to practice the techniques of my family. How dare you think like that?" A furious voice came from behind them.

Han Sen followed the voice, and he saw Luo Yu, Luo Hui, and the others standing nearby. It was Luo Yu talking.

"No wonder Luo Haitang prefers me and Little Yan over everyone else in the Luo family. These people are so spoiled." Han Sen shook his head, and he couldn't even be bothered to care about what Luo Yu had said. He pretended that he didn't hear anything, and he turned around and kept walking.

However, Luo Yan didn't plan to let Han Sen go that easily. The group blocked Han Sen's way.

"What do you want?" Han Sen looked at Luo Yu, frowning.

Luo Yu curled his lips and said, "You want to go hunt some super creatures, right? Then, to respect Luo Lan, I'll give you this chance."

Han Sen was a bit surprised. He thought that Luo Yu meant him some harm, yet the man was inviting him to hunt super creatures. The super creatures must have been the ones discovered by Jia Shidao.

"Is that really necessary?" Han Sen looked at Luo Yu, his expression veiled. He had some idea of what Luo Yu intended.

"Are you too chicken to go?" said Luo Yu, disrespectfully.

"Of course I can go with you, but I'll get half the super creatures I hunt." Han Sen didn't care much about what Luo Yu thought. If he could get life geno essences, he would totally go.

"No problem, as long as you can bring them down," Luo Yu promised him easily.

"When shall we go?" Han Sen didn't want to say anything more.

"Tomorrow," said Luo Yu.

"Okay," answered Han Sen. He then left the courtyard and went to meet Little Silver.

"Second brother, we tried so hard to find common ground with Jia Shidao and get rid of Han Sen. Why are we bringing him now?" asked Luo Hui.

Luo Yu said coldly, "I was going to kick him out before because I wanted to show him the power of our family, and I'm bringing him now to show him our power again. And I also want to show our great-grandfather that there are talents in our family. He's just not giving us a chance."

"That's right. What was our great-grandfather thinking? Why is he using the Han's instead of us?" muttered Luo Hui.

Luo Haitang's choice had upset many from the Luo's family. They were in no position to judge his decision, but none of them were happy about it. Now that they had finally met Han Sen, they wanted to perform well in front of Luo Haitang. They wanted Luo Haitang to know that they were better than Han Sen.

Luo Yu didn't think he was any worse than Han Sen. Han Sen might have been the first Super Aristocrat in the Alliance, but to them, that was only a joke.

With the help of Luo Haitang, the Luo's had already gained super genes, but because of the rules of the Luo family, they didn't publicize it.

Luo Li could only smile inside as she listened to Luo Yu rant. She knew Luo Yu and Luo Hui extremely well.

They indeed had some power, but neither of them was exceptional, and with the status of Luo Haitang in Godslayer Shelter, they had been spoiled since the day they were born. Even other demigods in the Alliance had to pay them so much respect that they thought they were the most powerful demigods in existence other than Luo Haitang and several other great beings. They despised ordinary demigods with all their hearts, and they overestimated themselves.

The next day, Han Sen took Little Silver to the square of Godslayer Shelter and found Luo Yu already standing there.

Jia Shidao was also there, and he was surprised to see Han Sen. He pretended to smile. "What a coincidence, Brother Han."

"Not a coincidence. I called him, and he'll be following us this time," said Luo Yu.

Jia Shidao coughed, feeling awkward. He had no idea what Luo Yu was thinking. It had been Luo Yu who asked Jia Shidao to kick Han Sen out, yet now the man had asked Han Sen to come with them.

Luo Yu took Han Sen to see several creatures, but he didn't say much. After all, it was not an easy job to domesticate powerful creatures. There were only a few super creatures in Godslayer Shelter, besides, even those super creatures in the shelter wouldn't let them drive them like this.

It was way more difficult to enslave super creatures than to kill them. Han Sen's super creatures were basically raised by him when they were only children. Mature ones like the little red horse wouldn't be as obedient as those like Little Silver, and it was difficult to manipulate them.

Everyone traveled under Jia Shidao's guidance, and Luo Li also followed them. Her fighting power wasn't great, as she only had a gemstone geno core. Luo Yu and Luo Hui weren't counting on her help; they just took her because they wanted her to be a witness.

Luo Li wasn't a Luo by blood, but she was responsible for assisting Luo Haitang with mundane tasks, so she spent more time with Luo Haitang than they did. If Luo Li saw it, that meant Luo Haitang also saw it.

Luo Yu and Luo Hui didn't make a single attack on their way. When they ran into groups of creatures, the demigods following them took care of the threat. Those demigods had attached themselves to the Luo's, but they didn't have the blood of the Luo's, so they couldn't practice the Falsified-Sky Sutra.

After more than four days, they finally arrived at the dune Jia Shidao had talked about.

The ground was covered in white sand, and Han Sen could see some random green shadows in the distance. They were enormous, bulbous cacti.

Jia Shidao pointed at those cacti and said, "Be careful, everyone. The cacti aren't plants; they're creatures. The super creatures that I talked about are the cacti at the heart of this dune."

"What kind of power do these cacti have?" asked Luo Yu.

Jia Shidao wasn't willing to say anything before they arrived, so Luo Yu didn't know any more than Han Sen.

Jia Shidao found no reason to conceal it anymore. He pointed at the cactus closest to them and said, "Those cacti aren't able to move, but they can spew their thorns out. The thorns can travel more than half a mile, so we need to be careful."

"No worries." Luo Yu summoned a beast soul shield, and he walked toward one of the cacti.

When they were only a thousand feet away from the cactus, it noticed Luo Yu. All of a sudden, thorns that were inches long spewed out. There were at least a hundred of them.

However, those thorns weren't able to pierce through Luo Yu's shield. The shield warded off everything, while Luo Yu kept marching toward the cactus. The cactus seemed to have endless thorns. After it finished firing the first round of thorns, they immediately grew back and started to spew out again.

However, none of the thorns were very strong, so the shield was able to ward them off. Luo Yu ran up to the cactus and slashed it in half.

"It is a creature, but it's only a mutant creature. Jia Shidao, are you sure there are cacti at the super level?" Luo Yu asked Jia Shidao after killing the cactus.

"There are, definitely. I accidentally got in here before, and I saw a cactus made of gold, and that's at sacred blood level. There's another one that looks like a crystal pillar, and that's definitely a super creature," said Jia Shidao.

"Then let's keep going." Luo Yu looked farther into the dune, then led the way with his shield.

Chapter 1562: Crystal Cactus

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ordinary cacti were not a threat to Luo Yu and the others. They had the power of Falsified Sky, and none of the cacti could even defend themselves against them.

However, Han Sen also realized that Luo Yu and the others had only practiced the first half of the Falsified-Sky Sutra. He didn't understand why Luo Haitang hadn't even taught his direct family members the complete version of the Falsified-Sky Sutra.

As for Luo Yu's body, it also looked strange to Han Sen. Both his strength and speed seemed to have reached super level, but his life force didn't seem as strong as it should have been. Instead, it had stayed at the sacred-blood level.

Han Sen didn't know that Luo Haitang had obtained a life geno essence a long time ago, but he wasn't able to absorb the life geno essence because of his practice of Shura Change.

The other Luo's like Luo Yu were ordinary humans, but they hadn't figured out a method of absorbing life geno essences from the First God's Sanctuary, not to mention the Fourth God's Sanctuary.

Back then, the gene liquid that most people now used to absorb life geno essences hadn't been invented yet. Those from the generation of Luo Yu's and Luo Hui's father studied it for a long time, and they finally came up with a special method to use life geno essences.

That method wasn't the same as the conventional method of absorbing life geno essences. They borrowed it from a geno solution designed for a Qi Gong, and it treated life geno essence as a geno solution.

Though the technique didn't allow the user to merge the life geno essence with their own flesh and blood, it did create a strange geno solution with the origin of power of the Luo's. The Luo's had another kind of special power aside from the power of Falsified Sky.

When they arrived at the Fourth God's Sanctuary, the geno solution they had condensed was transformed into a self geno core. More importantly, that self geno core still had the same ability to absorb life geno essences. When the geno core formed, it was automatically at super level.

Aside from that self geno core, they could also condense a second self geno core from the Falsified-Sky Sutra, which was why the Luo's were so proud.

Having two self geno cores, with one of those cores immediately rising to super level, gave the Luo's the leverage to roam the Alliance.

However, there was a huge downside to this method; their bodies hadn't reached super level, so the Luo's were physically weak. Their life forces hadn't reached super level, which was why they felt strange to Han Sen.

A couple hundred miles into the dune, they began to find cacti made of gold. They were all sacred-blood creatures, yet they were still killed by Luo Yu and Luo Hui with one strike. The power of half the Falsified-Sky Sutra was already extraordinary.

Han Sen also killed several golden cacti with his Taia and gained a beast soul. It was a heavy mace that was made of gold, and it looked forceful.

However, Han Sen didn't know how to use this kind of unpopular weapon, so he would have to trade it.

The cacti were bizarre. They were grown in the sand, so they couldn't move at all, and the only attack techniques they had were thorns. Their flesh and blood weren't edible either. If Han Sen hadn't already killed some, he wouldn't even have thought they were creatures.

Luo Yu and the others weren't surprised to see Han Sen slaying the sacred-blood creatures. If Han Sen couldn't even do that, Luo Haitang wouldn't have valued him.

"Those cacti!" After walking a thousand miles into the dune, Jia Shidao pointed in front of them.

Han Sen and Luo Yu and the others all followed Jia Shidao's gaze. They saw a cactus that was ten feet tall, made of crystal, simmering under the sun. And it wasn't the only cactus. Behind that cactus were many other crystal cacti with a variety of shapes.

Everyone stopped walking, and nobody dared to move forward anymore. Even Luo Yu and Luo Hui had to be careful when they faced super creatures.

After all, their bodies were only as sturdy as sacred-blood creatures, so they might be killed by super creatures.

"You want to kill a super creature, right? Now it's your chance to do so. Let's see whether you can actually do it or not," said Luo Yu, looking at Han Sen.

Han Sen took a look at those cacti made of crystal. He shook his head and said, "I don't even know what those cacti are capable of yet, so I'd better test them first."

Although the previous cacti couldn't move at all, nobody could guarantee that these cacti wouldn't be able to move either, so Han Sen didn't want to risk it.

"If you're too scared to try it, then I'll do it first," said Luo Yu while summoning his geno core.

A red crystal armor covered Luo Yu's body, and a blade appeared in his hands.

That red crystal armor looked bizarre. Han Sen felt that it was made of life geno essence, but he couldn't tell how that had been done.

Luo Yu's blade looked like the She-King Blade, but it wasn't as delicate.

"This is so weird. The power of that crystal armor doesn't seem to be connected to the Falsified-Sky Sutra at all, but it gives Luo Yu terrific power." Han Sen's interest was piqued.

Luo Yu lifted his shield and dashed toward the cactus closest to him. Just like the ordinary cacti, it spewed out many thorns that looked like crystal. The thorns flew toward Luo Yu like a storm.

Dang!

The thorns pierced Luo Yu's sacred-blood shield. However, the thorns that hit his body were warded off by the crystal armor, so they didn't injure him at all.

Han Sen nodded. "The Luo's indeed have something to be proud of. With that armor, only a few humans like Gu Qingcheng would actually be able to hurt him."

Luo Yu rushed toward the crystal cactus like a heavy-armored soldier. The thorns hit his armor, making a sound like rain on a tin roof, but they still failed to pierce through the armor. Luo Yu was getting closer and closer to the cactus. The blade in his hand that contained the mysterious power of Falsified Sky slashed toward the crystal cactus.

Jia Shidao was exhilarated, and he couldn't help yelling, "Luo Yu is incredible! We can't even compare with him."

Luo Hui smiled. "It was right of you to cooperate with us. Big brother's geno core has both attacks and defense. Killing creatures that can't move their bodies will be easy for him. Just wait here for the rewards."

Luo Yu's blade hit the crystal cactus as they spoke, but in the next second, Luo Yu's face fell.

The geno core blade that contained the power of Falsified Sky slashed the crystal cactus, but it couldn't injure the crystal cactus in the slightest.

The geno core blade was a geno core condensed from the Falsified-Sky Sutra, so it couldn't grow immediately to super level like the first self geno core. It was still a gemstone core.

The body of the crystal cactus was too solid. Even if it had the power of Falsified Sky, the sword couldn't break the body of the crystal cactus at all.

Chapter 1563: Blade and Baton

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Luo Yu was trying to resist the attacks of the crystal thorns, and he kept slashing the crystal cactus with his blade. He struck the crystal cactus easily every time. He had already covered the entire surface of the cactus in blows, yet he left nothing more than white scratch marks on its surface.

Han Sen shook his head. "The best aspect of Falsified Sky power is that it hits its target every time, and it can even bypass the defenses and deal damage inside the body. In this case, however, Luo Yu doesn't have enough power to damage the body of the crystal cactus. Even though he can hit it, he won't be able to break it."

Luo Hui and Jia Shidao were terrified to see that Luo Yu couldn't break the cactus.

Luo Yu fought the crystal cactus, yet he couldn't do any harm to the crystal cactus, while the crystal cactus couldn't hurt him either. Luo Yu fought for a while, then he suddenly retreated, leaving the attack range of the crystal cactus.

"Its body is too sturdy. Luo Hui, you're our only chance now," said Luo Yu, looking at Luo Hui.

"Perhaps my geno core Truth Spear can hurt it, but I don't have a geno core armor, so I can't approach him," said Luo Hui.

Unlike Luo Yu, Luo Hui's first self geno core was a spear, and it was an incredibly destructive, super level core.

"Don't worry. I'll ward off the crystal thorns for you, and you can kill it," said Luo Yu.

"Okay." Luo Hui nodded.

They rushed forward, and Luo Yu defended them against the thorns while Luo Hui moved toward the nearest crystal cactus.

Luo Hui immediately summoned a shining spear that was made from golden crystal. It pierced the crystal cactus, and half the tip went in.

"We can definitely kill it easily!" Luo Yu was exhilarated. He and Luo Hui moved among the crystal cactuses, leaving more and more injuries upon them.

Jia Shidao and the others were also overjoyed. Liu Che said, "That crystal cactus is impressive. It's fortunate that we have both Luo Yu and Luo Hui. Otherwise, we wouldn't stand a chance of killing them."

Jia Shidao also nodded and said excitedly, "We can finally get a life geno essence, so this trip won't have been in vain."

After almost three hours, Luo Hui finally broke the crystal cactus with his Truth Spear, and they watched the crystal cactus dissipate. However, no life geno essence was left behind.

Luo Yu and Luo Hui had used too much energy, so they had to retreat.

"What's happening? Where's the life geno essence?" asked Jia Shidao, confused.

Luo Hui frowned. "It's so strange. Though we killed that crystal cactus, we didn't hear any notification of it being killed."

"No notification at all? How is that possible?" Jia Shidao couldn't believe it.

"Something's strange about that crystal cactus," said Luo Yu. "If it's actually a super creature, it should have left behind a life geno essence."

Jia Shidao thought it made sense. Though he rose to the Fourth God's Sanctuary before killing super creatures became common in the previous sanctuaries, the life geno essence wasn't a secret anymore, and he knew that ordinary super creatures all had a life geno essence. This cactus didn't have one though, so something was definitely wrong with it.

"We've lost too much energy. Let's rest for a while, and then we can kill another crystal cactus and see," Luo Yu said, then looked at Han Sen. "You've already seen the crystal cactuses and their powers. Don't you want to go and kill one?"

"Okay." Han Sen didn't decline this time.

Han Sen had watched carefully as Luo Yu and Luo Hui fought. These crystal cactuses weren't much different from the ordinary cactuses, aside from stronger thorn-spewing power and sturdier bodies.

Luo Yu and the others saw Han Sen going, and they couldn't help frowning. They didn't know what Han Sen had that would allow him to defend himself against the cactus and kill it at the same time.

Jia Shidao looked at Han Sen, surprised. He was surprised that Han Sen dared to go attack it after seeing the impressive abilities of the crystal cactuses.

Luo Li wasn't surprised at all. She watched Han Sen, curious about how powerful he had become.

Han Sen left Little Silver behind, and he walked toward a pillar-like cactus twelve feet tall. The cactus was triggered and began to fire crystal thorns toward him. They were extremely fast, and they didn't give him a chance to dodge.

Han Sen didn't intend to dodge them; instead, he summoned his Overbearing shield, which was exactly the right size to protect him against the thorns, and then he kept walking with the shield in his hand.

The thorns hit the shield with a rattling noise.

Luo Yu and Jia Shidao opened their eyes wide when they saw the crystal thorns failing to pierce through Han Sen's shield. However, what happened next shocked them to their very core.

Not only was the shield unharmed, but the thorns bounced off the shield so hard that they buried themselves back in the cactus. Though they didn't do much harm, it was still quite unbelievable.

"What kind of beast soul is that? It's deflecting all the attacks from the super creature?" said Luo Hui, surprised.

"It's only a beast soul. It doesn't mean anything. That's only his tool, not the power he actually has," said Luo Yu coldly.

Han Sen continued walking toward the crystal cactus. He summoned his Split-Blade geno core and slashed the cactus like he was cutting a water vat.

The cactus that took Luo Hui more than two hours to break was slashed in half by Han Sen with only one strike, and he didn't even need to strike it a second time.

"How is that possible?" Luo Yu couldn't stay calm anymore. He stared incredulously as the crystal cactus faded away and Han Sen stood in front of it.

Jia Shidao and the others were completely bewildered. They had thought that Luo Yu and Luo Hui were very powerful, yet those two couldn't even compare with Han Sen.

It had taken Luo Yu and Luo Hui hours to kill one crystal cactus, yet Han Sen killed one with a single strike. The gap between them was so huge that they weren't even in the same league.

Luo Li was shocked as well. She knew that Han Sen was strong, yet this was beyond what even she had guessed.

"There isn't any notification after you kill one. Are these crystal cactuses really creatures?" Han Sen frowned. Just as Luo Hui had said, no notification sounded as the cactus disappeared.

Just as Han Sen was looking around in confusion, the crystal cactuses all started to move. By the time everyone realized what was happening, the crystal cactuses had surrounded them, much to everyone's horror.

Chapter 1564: Ostentation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jia Shidao and the others looked completely horrified as the crystal cacti surrounded them like a forest.

Luo Yu and Luo Hui also looked frightened. Luo Yu had the armor, so he wasn't afraid of the thorns of the crystal cacti. However, Luo Hui didn't have any armor to protect him. If those crystal cacti attacked him from all directions at the same time, there was no way he would survive it.

Luo Yu wouldn't be much better off. Though he had armor to protect him, those crystal cacti had already surrounded him like a cage. No matter how strong his armor was, he would still die if he couldn't break free.

Just as everyone was starting to panic, the crystal cacti separated and made a path in the direction of a mountain valley.

Two creatures that looked identical were walking down either side of the path. The two creatures looked like jade, and their shapes looked like the legendary White Beasts.

Luo Li was shocked when she saw two mutant creatures coming out. She shouted, "Those are super creatures called White Beasts. I saw one once when I was following Luo Haitang. However, he said that White Beasts are extremely rare creatures, and it's difficult for them to procreate. He thought there might have been only one White Beast in the entire Fourth God's Sanctuary. He wanted to domesticate the White Beast that we saw, but it managed to escape. It's extremely powerful. Now two White Beasts just showed up at the same time. What is this place?"

Both Luo Yu and Luo Hui looked sick after hearing what Luo Li said.

A terrifying cactus forest, and two super creatures that even their patriarch praised. They had even less chance of surviving now.

The two White Beasts walked down the path. They stepped aside without attacking Han Sen or the others.

After the White Beasts stepped aside, the group saw another creature walking behind the White Beasts. That creature was a black bull with goat horns, and there was white mist surrounding its hoofs as if it were stepping on the clouds.

"Sky Cloud Sacred Beast!" Luo Li was horrified.

Though Luo Li didn't say anything about the Sky Cloud Sacred Beast, the name itself had already made Luo Yu and Luo Hui desperate.

Jia Shidao didn't know what a Sky Cloud Sacred Beast was, but he could tell from Luo Yu and Luo Hui that it was even more terrifying than a White Beast.

The Sky Cloud Beast kept walking toward them. Though it didn't let out its power, it made Luo Yu feel an indefinable sense of pressure. Sweat covered his palms. If it weren't for the crystal cacti blocking their way, they would have run far away instead of standing there staring at the Sky Cloud Sacred Beast.

Luo Yu and Luo Hui had both heard of Sky Cloud Sacred Beasts before. They were berserk super creatures, and they were some of the most powerful creatures in the Fourth God's Sanctuary.

No matter how arrogant and proud Luo Yu and Luo Hui were, they wouldn't be naïve enough to think that they could actually rival a berserk super creature. They were already sinking into hopelessness as the Sky Cloud Sacred Beast walked toward them. They didn't see any chance that they would survive.

The Sky Cloud Sacred Beast walked into the encirclement. It didn't even glance at Luo Yu and the others; instead, it stepped directly toward Han Sen.

"Are you Sky Sword Han Sen?" The Sky Cloud Sacred Beast stared at Han Sen with its eyes that looked like brass bells.

"I'm Han Sen, but I won't call myself Sky Sword. Who are you?" Han Sen was a little dazed. He had already prepared to have a huge battle.

He'd been planning to use the technique he learned in God's Ruin and summon his Destiny's Tower to smash his way out. He hadn't expected the terrifying creature to call out his name.

Luo Hui and Luo Yu looked between the Sky Cloud Sacred Beast and Han Sen, confused, as they didn't know what was happening. Clearly, Han Sen didn't know what a Sky Cloud Sacred Beast was, yet it had called Han Sen's name, so apparently, it was coming for him.

"It is indeed Sky Sword, your highness. My young master wants to meet you, so please come to the shelter and greet him." The Sky Cloud Sacred Beast nodded at the White Beast beside it.

One of the White Beasts moved to lay down in front of Han Sen. It seemed that it wanted Han Sen to ride it.

Luo Yu and the others were all bewildered. Even if Luo Haitang came here by himself, he wouldn't have had such a welcoming. After all, Luo Haitang was so ferocious that many creatures and spirits hated him. If the Sky Cloud Sacred Beast met him, there might have been a huge battle instead of a warm welcoming like this.

Besides, the Sky Cloud Sacred Beast had said it had a master. This being was terrifying enough to control a Sky Cloud Sacred Beast, and he had just invited Han Sen to his shelter with such an ostentatious presentation. They couldn't even imagine what was going on.

"Sorry, may I ask who your young master is?" Han Sen couldn't think of anyone he knew who could afford something so grand.

"You'll know when you meet him." Sky Cloud Sacred Beast didn't answer the question directly.

Han Sen saw that the Sky Cloud Sacred Beast didn't mean anything hostile, and besides, he didn't really have a choice. Instead of asking more questions, he just sat down on the White Beast.

The Sky Cloud Sacred Beast turned around and began walking deep into the dune while the White Beast carrying Han Sen followed it.

Little Silver was lying on Han Sen's head. He squinted his eyes and looked at the Sky Cloud Sacred Beast in front of him. Bao'er was riding the small Ice Seahorse behind Han Sen, and Little Star quickly followed as well.

"What should we do?" Luo Hui asked anxiously.

They were still encircled by the crystal cacti and couldn't get out.

"He's the son of sister Lan. He'll be merciful." Luo Li then followed Han Sen, looking at him riding the White Beast with a complicated expression.

Luo Yu clenched his teeth and asked Luo Hui and the others to follow him.

Jia Shidao didn't have any other choice. He was nervous, but the whole thing also seemed a little unbelievable. He didn't know what was happening, or what he was getting himself into.

Under the guidance of the Sky Cloud Sacred Beast, everyone arrived at the deepest area of the dune. They saw a shelter that looked like a bronze mountain, and it was spectacular.

There was a spirit waiting in front of the shelter. When Luo Yu and the others saw the spirit, they looked more upset. Luo Haitang was well-known in this shelter. He was respected, but he had made lots of enemies as well.

Usually, Luo Haitang's enemies were all horrifying beings.

Luo Yu and Luo Hui recognized the spirit when they saw him standing in front of the bronze mountain shelter. That spirit was a descendant of one of Luo Haitang's enemies, and it had a great reputation in the sanctuary.

If that spirit knew that they were descendants of Luo Haitang, they might be doomed.

Chapter 1565: Skysword Is My Teacher

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Luo Yu and Luo Hui's faces were a little pale. While they were still fidgeting nervously, the spirit appeared.

"Skysword Teacher, you are finally here. I waited for you for the longest time." The spirit walked in front of Han Sen and bowed seriously. He spoke with much excitement.

Luo Yu, Luo Hui, and Luo Li were frozen. Jia Shidao had no idea who the spirit was. Luo Yu knew about the spirit, and he watched as the spirit bowed towards Han Sen. It was an unimaginable thing, and they initially believed themselves to be dreaming.

The son of Furnace Emperor was Xu Mi, and he and his mother were second-gen emperors. He had bowed to a human, and they never thought something like that would ever occur. After all, since when had humanity achieved such a reputation? And since when had they earned the right to such respect?

Even Luo Haitang, despite becoming so famous, had never earned the respect and privilege Han Sen was getting. But now they saw Xu Mi bow to Han Sen and welcome him into the shelter; the level of prestige and respect he had earned was no joke.

Han Sen had promised Xu Mi he'd teach him a sword skill, but he never expected to meet the spirit here. With much surprise, Han Sen said, "Furnace Shelter is here?"

Xu Mi smiled. "Teacher, Furnace Shelter has the ability to teleport. We moved here recently, but we didn't expect to meet you. This is most fortuitous!"

After entering Furnace Shelter, Xu Mi brought Han Sen to a hall.

Luo Yu and the others saw Bao'er and Little Star following, and they started to follow as well. They, however, were stopped.

"Wait here. If it wasn't for Mister Skysword, you humans from Godslayer Shelter would have all been killed." The White Beasts hummed. They were guarding the left and right sides of the entrance to the hall.

Luo Yu did not know where they could go. They did not want to walk around in Furnace Shelter, so they just waited outside. They were quite nervous, but they were still glad Han Sen was there. Otherwise, they might have been killed.

Of course, if Xu Mi knew about the grudge between Luo Haitang and Furnace Emperor, they'd still be on the chopping block.

"What did he do? Why do spirits like Xu Mi obey him? Not even Big Luo receives treatment like that." Luo Li looked towards the hall with a complicated expression. The way inside had been closed now, though, so she couldn't see what Han Sen was doing there.

"Xu Mi, is this the teacher you requested?" Inside the hall, Furnace Emperor—who looked like a god—looked at Han Sen and frowned.

Xu Mi had made it sound important when he requested that Skycloud Beast bring back Han Sen. Furnace Emperor thought Xu Mi was going to get a very powerful teacher.

He did not expect it to be only a human—one who was not even super, at that.

"What can you teach my son?" Furnace Emperor was not happy with Xu Mi's decision, but he wasn't so brash as to throw Han Sen out right then and there.

"Xu Mi wants to learn a sword skill from me, so it is a sword skill I will teach him," Han Sen answered.

Xu Mi quickly stepped in to say, "Father! Teacher's sword skills are strong, and even Six Paths said his talent is as high as the sky. That is why he is called Skysword."

Furnace Emperor heard that and was actually convinced. To earn the compliments of Six Paths, Han Sen had to have been powerful indeed.

But Furnace Emperor could not tell what was so special about Han Sen, so he said, "If you have earned the name Skysword, and earned the appreciation of Six Paths Emperor, your sword skills must indeed be good. My garden has a swordmark. It was delivered by Holy Sword Emperor during his ascension to the Fifth Sanctuary. You can take a look at it. Perhaps you may learn something."

The Holy Sword Emperor he mentioned was an emperor who was good with the sword. He was powerful in the Fourth God's Sanctuary, around five-hundred-thousand years ago. His most impressive talent was his proficiency with the sword.

When he leveled up, he broke the dimension with his blade. The aftershock crashed against a mountain, leaving a cleft across the landscape that never faded away.

The mountain belonged to Furnace Emperor, and he had it moved to the gardens so it would be close to Xu Mi. It was easier for Xu Mi to learn the sword skills from it, by having it there.

Holy Sword Emperor's sword skills were special. Many sword elites had made the pilgrimage to visit that scar, but more often than not, they did not learn anything. Some were very seduced by it, though, and some even came close to losing their swordheart.

Furnace Emperor wished to let Han Sen take a look so he could test the fortitude of the human's mind. If the scar did claim Han Sen's heart and he was seduced by the swordmind, no matter how good people said he was, he wouldn't be a good enough teacher for Xu Mi.

Xu Mi knew this was Furnace Emperor's game, but he didn't think Han Sen would end up getting seduced by the swordmind. So, he said, "Teacher, let me take you to the swordmark."

Han Sen and Furnace Emperor did not have much to talk about. Talking to the spirit, who was sitting loftily on his throne, was boring. So, he was happy to leave with Xu Mi.

Han Sen brought Bao'er along with him to the garden. And while it was called a garden, it was huge. The thousand-meter-high mountain only took up a fifth of the space there.

Han Sen looked at the mountain. There was a swordmark there that had almost cut the mountain in two.

Xu Mi explained, "Holy Sword Emperor broke the vacuum with his sword and created a way that led him to the Fifth Sanctuary. The swordwaves landed on this mountain and left a swordmind behind. Many sword elites have come to face this but left with nothing. I come here to try and learn from the mark, but not even I can learn a thing."

"If it was left behind by a sword emperor, you should have been able to learn something," Han Sen said, with confusion.

Standing at the door, Han Sen felt an insanely scary presence stemming from the swordmark. The swordmind was strong. Just being near it should have allowed for some sort of learning.

Just like people said, if you read three hundred poems and still cannot write your own, you will at least be able to read. You cannot walk away with absolutely nothing.

"Teacher, you don't understand. Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind is special. Many emperor-class elites visit here, and none of them learn anything. Many of them get seduced and almost lose themselves completely," Xu Mi explained as he brought Han Sen through the garden.

In the spirit hall, Furnace Emperor and a female spirit watched through an old mirror as Han Sen entered the garden.

"If that human does not get seduced by the swordmark, will you really let Xu Mi become his student?" The female spirit frowned while watching the video feed.

"If he does not get seduced by the swordmind, and with what Six Paths Emperor has said about him, I can only presume he is qualified," Furnace Emperor said.

The female spirit shook her head. "My son's teacher should be the strongest swordsman in the world. Being qualified is not enough for me."

Report chapter

Han Sen entered the garden and felt the swordmind's influence emerge from the cleft.

The swordmind was strange. Most swordsmen would give people a sharp feeling or a strong sensation of intimidation. But this swordmind in particular was different. It toiled back and forth like waves, endlessly. It didn't feel intimidating, per se, but it was hard and tough.

It felt as if the swordmind was not strong at first, and everyone had the chance to battle it through their own sheer will. It wasn't a task only reserved for the capabilities of super beings, though. Those who were gemstones confront it just as well. There were no disadvantages to having a weaker body.

But the swordmind, despite not feeling very strong, would perplex most swordsmen, and leave them unsure of how to proceed. Not even super elites had managed to tame it, and they were often negatively affected by it.

"When people first see it, they aren't sure if this really is Holy Sword Emperor's swordmark. They have to spend a while getting a feel for it before they acknowledge how frightening it can be. This swordmind is like an endless river. The pressure it exudes builds up over time, and the more pressure that builds up, the stronger it becomes. Gemstones class creatures can watch it for a few days and without being affected. Super elites can hardly even make it ten. They are affected after some time, and they might even suffer injuries. In some cases, their faith can be broken and their own swordmind damaged," Xu Mi said.

Han Sen nodded. He practiced had sword skills, and although it wasn't the best, he had a swordmind of his own.

Especially after seeing Six Paths' Heartsword. Ever since, his sword skills had developed to become something special. If he was affected by Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind, it would be a great loss.

Xu Mi went on to say, "Don't try to use your own swordmind against Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind. His swordmind is like water. If you use your swordmind against it, it'll be like trying to go against the stream. The more strength you use, the more pressure will be put against you. If you don't go against it, you could at least last a few days. If you willingly go against it, I'm afraid you wouldn't last a day. In only a few hours, your swordmind might be irreparably damaged."

"It looks tame, but it is actually overbearing," Han Sen said.

"Well, it did come from an emperor of the sword generation," Xu Mi said.

Han Sen felt the swordmind's rush and likened it to a lapsing tide. He thought to himself, "I have practiced Heartsword. My sword skills are tough. I can challenge the water, never giving up. Going against Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind is a perfect opportunity to make my Heartsword stronger."

Han Sen knew that Furnace Emperor had asked him to go there to see the mark as a form of test. Han Sen didn't really want to teach Xu Mi, so it didn't matter that he had to take this detour. He wasn't in a particular rush to give Furnace Emperor an impressive demonstration.

Han Sen used his swordmind, and then the mark's swordmind that was previously tame suddenly began to swell.

The stronger Han Sen pushed his swordmind, the more pressure the other swordmind brought down on him. It was just as Xu Mi had explained. Xu Mi saw Han Sen use his swordmind against Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind, and he became very excited as he watched them fight.

"His swordmind looks like Heartsword. There is definitely a bit of difference between his and Six Paths' variants, however." Furnace Emperor watched Han Sen use his swordmind. He could see it all.

Furnace Emperor had fought Six Paths once. He lost, but the experience made him very familiar with Six Paths' sword skills.

Xu Mi's mother, Fire Empress, frowned. "Xu Mi told him what he knows about Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind, and still he uses his own swordmind to go against it. He is brave, but he is too arrogant. He is not suitable to be Xu Mi's teacher."

Furnace Emperor shook his head. "Don't be so sure. Although Six Paths Emperor is not as good as Holy Sword Emperor, they are not too far apart. He self-destructed and became an emperor again, starting from scratch. Restarting like that means he might not be any worse than Holy Sword Emperor now. If Han Sen really practiced Heartsword, even if he only managed to nail 70% of it, he will definitely be able to resist the power of this swordmind without bringing damage to himself."

"If he only knows 70%, then why not just ask Six Paths to become his teacher instead?" Fire Empress said.

"It's not that easy to hire Six Paths. If he didn't take Xu Mi seriously, then paying him would be pointless." Furnace shook his head.

"Xu Mi has our great genes. The talents he has must surely be better than those of Six Paths. If Xu Mi is not good enough to be his student, I don't think anyone in the Fourth God's Sanctuary would be good enough for him." Fire Empress opened her eyes wide. She was like any mother, though, thinking her son was the best.

The pressure building upon Han Sen was becoming a lot. When he used his swordmind, the swordmark that was previously calm suddenly started to rage.

Han Sen felt as if he had been thrust into a rapid river. The other swordmind was griding against his sword skills, and he felt as if he'd be flattened any second.

A swordmind wasn't all about pure power. The swordmind concerned itself with the sensation of the sword. It was something you could only feel, and not describe. You could not touch it, either, as it was not solid.

But if your swordmind was damaged, things could turn out worse than if you endured a physical injury.

When physical damage was inflicted upon you, you could consult a doctor and use their medicine to heal. But if it was your heart that was injured, nothing could remedy it. You would have to use your own will to fix it.

Han Sen felt as if his swordmind was like steel, but it was getting ground down. His will was being used up quickly. If he had been a person with a weak will, he'd have gone crazy already.

Even a swordsman with a strong will wouldn't have lasted this long under this sort of opposition. But Han Sen was different. His Heartsword gave him a strong swordmind, and his will was reinforced by the crystallizers. That scary swordmind could not break his will.

No matter how much the swordmind tried to break his will, Han Sen was unmoved. Instead, he allowed his will to get stronger.

Time passed, and so far, an hour had gone by.

"No wonder he is the teacher. He has battled with Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind for an hour, all without moving. He is better than those super swordsmen," Xu Mi complimented him.

"He is good," Furnace Emperor said.

Fire Empress coldly said, "It's only been one hour. If he can last twelve, and his swordmind is still fine, then he can be Xu Mi's teacher."

Chapter 1567: Swordmark

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Twelve hours? I doubt he'd be human if he managed that. Out of all the super swordsmen that have tried, only one has ever managed to last twelve hours. And that person isn't much weaker than Six Paths. Do you really think Han Sen stands a chance?" Furnace Emperor wore a wry smile.

"But we need someone that accomplished. Otherwise, how can we be happy with our selection of Xu Mi's teacher?" Fire Empress said with certainty.

Furnace Emperor merely shook his head and did not speak. Powerful elites such as that wouldn't teach others, he believed. He thought Han Sen was fine, as he had the strength and had learned Six Paths' Heartsword. He would be a fine choice for Xu Mi's teacher.

But Furnace Emperor wouldn't do anything Fire Empress did not approve of, so the decision was ultimately up to her.

Han Sen was unmoving while he battled Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind.

The swordmind was like a grinding wheel, but it couldn't diminish Han Sen's mind. Instead, it felt more like a smithy's grindstone. The hard edges swept by Han Sen, making him sharper as time went on.

If Han Sen's swordmind was comparable to steel, the grinding process was making it sparkle like a well-cut jewel. Time passed, and after six hours—seeing he was doing fine—Xu Mi looked ecstatically happy.

Furnace Emperor had to give another compliment, and he said, "This kid is not bad! Xu Mi's got taste. With such a strong will and sword skills, Xu Mi is bound to learn a thing or two by accepting this guy as his teacher."

Fire Empress, seeing Han Sen performing without trouble or anything, found herself half-convinced, actually. But she still showed refrain and said, "We've only reached the halfway point. It's still too early for us to say anything."

Another two hours passed. Furnace Emperor was very convinced by this point, and he said, "This kid still hasn't moved at all! His will is stern. Finding another person like this would be difficult."

Fire Empress was more convinced, as well, but she quietly said, "There are still four hours to go. Let's see if he can make it first."

Another two hours passed and Han Sen hadn't moved at all, just like he hadn't the past ten hours.

Furnace Emperor and Fire Empress were in shock. Even now, Han Sen wasn't showing signs of moving. It almost looked as if he wasn't affected by the swordmind. They now thought Han Sen could safely make it to the twelve-hour mark.

"My son has a good eye. Finding a teacher like this will be of a great boon and benefit for him." Every time Furnace Emperor spoke about Han Sen, his tone was different. He had passed from simple observation to agreement, and now he was full of admiration. He had changed his views a lot.

Fire Empress didn't look so arrogant now, either. She watched the stream in shock, and she said, "This human is indeed different. He is qualified to be Xu Mi's teacher."

The two emperors thought Han Sen could easily make it to twelve hours, and their opinions of him began to become the same.

More time elapsed, and after twelve hours passed, Xu Mi couldn't help but blurt out compliments. "Teacher, you are super special! Across all these years, only one person has ever made it twelve hours against the swordmind. You are the second one to achieve this."

Han Sen didn't hear what he said, though. His focus rested solely on the swordmind. The swordmind was grinding against his will, and all that time, Han Sen's own swordmind had been growing stronger.

But after a while, Han Sen started to believe there was something wrong with the swordmind. He couldn't grind his own swordmind anymore, and Han Sen walked towards the swordmark without realizing it. He wanted to get closer to it, so he could get a stronger feel for it.

"What is he doing?" Fire Empress watched Han Sen approach the mark.

Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind always appeared tame, but things were vastly different when Han Sen got nearer. Holy Sword Emperor had swung his sword and left the mountain with his swordmind. And it had lasted ever since his departure.

This swordmind was extreme.

The closer to the swordmark you got, the more intensely you could feel Holy Sword Emperor's will. It was the faith he had used to break the dimension. It was an everlasting swordmind.

Back then, many elites came to watch Holy Sword Emperor ascend. Many of them wished to claim the mountain for themselves afterwards, but in the end, it was Furnace Emperor who owned it. And that was because normal folk wouldn't dare touch the mountain, and they could not move it as he could.

Inside the swordmind, it did not matter whether or not you were an emperor that focused purely on sword skills; if you simply touched the swordmark, you would be attacked by the will required for Breaking Through the Vacuum. Your will would be heavily damaged.

The reason the elites weren't able to take the swordmarked mountain was because only Furnace Emperor met the teleportation requirement via Furnace Shelter. He teleported Furnace Shelter around the base of the mountain. Then, he was able to take it away with him.

Now Han Sen had been grinding against the swordmind for twelve hours, his own will had proven far too effective. It had not broken, and so he dared to venture closer to the swordmark. This was way too shocking for Furnace Emperor and Fire Empress.

"This young man's will is strong. It's like the best elite in existence." Furnace Emperor spoke with a look of seriousness.

Fire Empress didn't say anything, but the way she looked at Han Sen said it all. There was no more disdain, just surprise.

Han Sen approached the swordmark and felt the swordmind become stronger. His swordmind got even sharper, and his will became stronger. He was one hundred meters away from the swordmark when he slowed down. But every step was so sure, there was no hesitation accompanying a single one.

Han Sen's entire body looked as if it had become a sharp sword. It was as if he was breaking the water as he advanced towards the cleft.

Finally, Han Sen stepped onto the mountain and touched the mark.

Boom!

The endless swordmind came at Han Sen like the ceaseless discharge of an infinite river. It was like putting Han Sen's swordmind into a river of time to remain washed forevermore.

Furnace Emperor and Fire Empress' faces changed. They did not expect Han Sen to approach the mountain and use his hand to physically touch the swordmark.

That mark had been left behind by an elite that was halfway through the process of becoming a god. He was ascending to the Fifth Sanctuary when this happened, and even an emperor's will would be damaged if they touched it.

Han Sen's will was strong, but there was a chance even he would be damaged by touching it. If he did it poorly, his will would be broken and never return.

"Oh no!" Furnace Emperor's stomach fell. He was very satisfied with Han Sen's skill, and it'd be a shame if the human was destroyed right there. It wasn't easy for Xu Mi to find such an accomplished teacher.

Fire Empress sighed. She agreed Han Sen had enough power, but she never thought he'd be reckless enough to go and touch the mark. That was sure to hurt.

Fire Empress merely hoped he wouldn't be damaged too badly to teach Xu Mi.

Chapter 1568: Broken Swordmind

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The endless swordmind kept rushing against Han Sen's will, and even Han Sen found it difficult to withstand. He felt as if he was falling into an abyss, where hope and lifeforces were gone forever.

If others were in his shoes, their wills would have broken. They would have given up. But Han Sen did not know what giving up meant. Beneath that pressure, his mind was still as hard as brushed steel, and he clung to the small amount of faith he had.

At a time like this, success was not achieved through strength. It wasn't about talent, either. It was all determined by a person's personality and the prior experiences that had shaped them.

If their personalities were weak, it did not matter how refined their skills were; their will would crumble. This was even true for super elites.

Even with a mind that was really strong, it was difficult to survive this sort of force.

Han Sen was a person with a mighty will, and he had adopted the stubborn personality that defined his parents. But even so, beneath the pressure of the swordmind, his grip and will were starting to lessen.

Furnace Emperor and Fire Empress saw Han Sen's expression change, and they broke out in a cold sweat. They knew this was bad news. Han Sen might not be able to withstand the constant force much longer, and his swordmind and will could soon buckle and break.

Furnace Emperor and Fire Empress teleported to the garden. They planned to pull Han Sen out of the swordmark. But before they could try, Han Sen's swordmind surged like an erupting volcano.

The force charged out from Han Sen's swordmind to suppress the swordmind of the very mountain itself.

"How is this possible?" Fire Empress and Furnace Emperor were frozen in shock. They could not believe what their eyes were witnessing.

A human that did not even look super-class had a swordmind capable of suppressing Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind. They felt as if the world was changing right below their feet. They froze in place, unsure of exactly what they were doing.

Xu Mi was very excited at this point, and he said, "Teacher's swordmind is so powerful! I don't think I could find anyone with a stronger swordmind than his. Not even Six Paths Emperor could keep up with this performance."

Han Sen felt terrible, though. When his swordmind almost broke, the sleeping Black Crystal Armor suddenly unleashed an additional portion of will directly into his swordmind to bolster it.

It was then that Han Sen's swordmind erupted like mad, without any control. It allowed him to brush away Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind. He was even able to suppress the swordmind of the entire mountain.

But the will that came from the Black Crystal Armor was too strong, and when it entered Han Sen's swordmind, he was almost unable to accept it all.

Fortunately, Han Sen had a strong personality and will. He made the best decision he could in the short amount of time he had to decide. He used his swordmind to reinforce that will.

Although it was hard, primarily due to the fact that Han Sen's swordmind was weak and the boosting will was strong, Han Sen's own will was strong, too. The boosting will was going accept him, so it was able to assimilate with Han Sen's swordmind and allow a seamless increase in strength.

When that additional will refined itself inside Han Sen's swordmind, it became stronger.

Boom!

Beneath the powerful impact of the swordmind, the mountain was sundered. It was cut in half and flung wide open. Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind was fading, and all that remained was Han Sen's.

Furnace Emperor and Fire Empress felt their mouths drop. But they didn't say anything, they just froze as if they had become petrified.

Holy Sword Emperor's swordmind had been broken by Han Sen. It was difficult to believe.

Luo Yu, Luo Hui, Luo Li, and Jia Shidao had been waiting in the plaza for two days. But Han Sen had yet to return.

Luo Hui complained, "Han Sen is too arrogant! We are his elders, so why would he just leave us here?"

"This is not Godslayer Shelter, and it's not his territory either. He can't control anything here. Just wait a little longer," Luo Li said.

"Yeah, we're lucky we're still breathing. Just wait a while," Jia Shidao said.

Luo Yu started to say something, but before he could, the gates swung open. The two White Beasts stepped to either side as someone came out.

"Is he finally coming out?" The group of them had a look. It was indeed Han Sen who came striding out.

Luo Li wanted to shout Han Sen's name, but she closed her mouth when she saw the people around him. Luo Yu and Luo Hui's faces changed.

The people who walked out alongside Han Sen were Furnace Emperor and Fire Empress. They stood beside him, with Xu Mi trailing them from behind.

"Teacher Han, please teach Xu Mi well. Hit him if you need to. Treat and think of him as you would your own child," Fire Empress said.

"Yes, Teacher Han. Let us know if there is anything you need. We will try to accommodate your needs in whatever way we can." Furnace Emperor spoke with earnest passion.

Luo Li, Luo Yu, and Luo Hui were frozen in shock. They couldn't believe what their eyes were telling them.

Furnace Emperor and Fire Empress were top-tier spirits of the Fourth God's Sanctuary, and yet, they were being friendly and very respectful to Han Sen.

It was hard to imagine how a human could get the likes of Furnace Emperor and Fire Empress to treat them that way. Not even Luo Haitang could accomplish that.

"Don't worry; I will teach him. But how much he learns depends on his talent and his effort," Han Sen said.

"You are right, Teacher Han. If Xu Mi can only learn a small bit from you, you can consider us satisfied," Furnace Emperor said.

Fire Empress said, "It is up to Xu Mi how much he can learn from you. Even if he only learns a small amount from you, it is good enough for him."

Jia Shidao and the others were all frozen. The two powerful spirits didn't sound like emperors at all. Not as the humans had imagined. They looked like proper parents that were simply trying to snipe a good teacher for their kid.

"Is he really that strong?" Luo Li was confused.

She knew Han Sen was strong, but she found it hard to believe he was that strong. Even emperors were talking to him nicely. She hoped her own child might one day be able to study underneath his wing.

Luo Hui and Luo Yu's brains were just empty. They could muster no reaction.

When they walked out of Furnace Shelter with Han Sen, they still felt as if they were in a dream and none of it was real.

Chapter 1569: Luo Family's Gift

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xu Mi followed Han Sen out of Furnace Shelter. He was going to travel with him as a student. Han Sen wasn't very good at teaching, but even if he only took the time to teach Xu Mi some skills of the Alliance, it would be enough.

Compared to human education, what spirits received was pretty much rubbish.

Spirits could live forever, so they could learn what they wanted whenever they wanted. There was no need for efficiency and proper timetabling.

Humans weren't like that, of course. In ancient times, it was said that it was rare for humans to see the age of seventy. That was considered a very old age, but a human's learning capabilities declined after the age of thirty, anyway. Therefore, a core principle for humanity was the need for studying effectively and in a timely manner.

Humans always tried to find the best ways to learn and absorb knowledge in the shortest amount of time. There were many different ways to study, but all of them were highly organized. This had been very important in ancient times.

It didn't matter whether someone went to a public school or went to a private martial hall; the education they received had been refined for millennia. It was far better than anything spirits ever received.

Han Sen did not think it would be difficult to teach Xu Mi. He asked the AI to formulate a plan and course of education for Xu Mi, too.

There were humans in Furnace Shelter, but no one really ever listened to them. Xu Mi certainly wouldn't, especially since he was emperor-class. He had never taken the time to learn how humans studied. What Han Sen presented him with was all new. It fascinated him, and he put a lot of effort into studying as hard as he could.

Luo Li, Luo Yu, and Luo Hui looked weirded out. They thought Han Sen's teaching method was so dull and average. They expected him to teach Xu Mi something grand and powerful. After seeing this, they wondered why Xu Mi would have such great respect for him.

They could not understand why Furnace Emperor and Fire Empress had treated Han Sen so well, either.

But still, they kept their thoughts to themselves. They were a bit scared of Han Sen, and they did not want to criticize him.

"Han Sen, why don't you come to Godslayer Shelter with us?" After they left the Valley of Sand, Luo Li invited Han Sen to come back with them.

"I'm going back to my own shelter. Take care." Han Sen was not a fan of the Luo family, and so he didn't want to stick with them very long. He brought the silver fox, Xu Mi, and the rest to leave with him.

Jia Shidao knew the Luo family's relationship with Han Sen was strained. He didn't say anything regarding that, but he did think to himself, "It's difficult to discern the intricacies of genes. I am afraid the Luo family will fall, and when it does, the Han family will rise to supersede them. Maybe Han Sen will one day become better than Luo Haitang himself. It looks like the Iron Fist Martial Hall will need to morph to accommodate the coming change."

Han Sen brought Xu Mi with him to his shelter. His new guest was a second-gen super spirit, so no creatures or spirits gave them any trouble on the return trip.

Han Sen did not go back to God's Ruin, and Xu Mi told them the place was shut down now, anyway. It would be many decades before it reopened.

Little Lion King had gone back to Lion Mountain, so there was no point going back there, either.

"What are those crystal cacti in the Valley of Sand?" Han Sen asked Xu Mi.

Xu Mi smiled and said, "It is a super creature. It isn't a normal one, though, and it is actually called Cactus Needle. My parents spent a lot of time trying to claim it, so it could stand guard and protect the shelter. The crystal cactus branch you broke in the beginning was just an illusion. It didn't affect the real creature. Unless you find its real body and kill it, it can just keep on summoning illusions like that. The illusions are all strong, just like super creatures, too. It makes for a powerful ally."

"That is a very powerful super creature, indeed. It doesn't sound any weaker than a berserk super creature, actually," Han Sen complimented it.

"Yeah. If it wasn't, I don't think my parents would have exerted as much effort as they did when they claimed it." Xu Mi spoke of this proudly.

They returned to Shadow Shelter before long, and Han Sen settled Xu Mi down there. Han Sen then called on Cheap Sheep and Green Cow to give him a sitrep on the shelter, so he could learn how things had been and if any important events had unfolded in his absence.

"Bossman, with us here, the shelter has been doing fine." Cheap Sheep continued to compliment himself and tell Han Sen how well he had performed. And he really had done well. He had done a great job while Han Sen was gone and kept everything operational. Han Sen was satisfied.

Red Pony was still in the garden, but Nine-Life Cat was gone. Where it went, Han Sen had no clue, but it never returned.

Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon remained comfortably in the shelter, and it seemed as if they weren't keen on the concept of leaving.

Gu Qingcheng rarely left the shelter, but Elysian Moon frequently did. She came back from time to time, but she never communicated with Han Sen. She would always come back and return to Gu Qingcheng's side.

Han Sen wanted to ask Gu Qingcheng a few questions and see if she was the Number 4 mentioned in the diary, but after thinking it over for a while, he decided to go back to the Alliance first. He wanted to see his family and his son. Han Sen had been gone for a long time, and he had missed them quite a bit.

"It is a shame Littleflower is too young and cannot go to the shelter. And I don't have enough power to ensure Ji Yanran could become a demi-god safely. The whole family could hunt creatures together if we were all here, and we'd see each other a lot more." Han Sen sighed.

When he went home, though, Han Sen thought something in the atmosphere had soured. Luolan and Ji Yanran were already there waiting for him, and when they saw him, they looked at him as if he was a criminal.

"Has something happened?" Han Sen asked quickly.

"Nothing has happened, but you have a big problem." Luolan looked at Han Sen as if she was a judge, and she spoke with alarming seriousness.

"What problem do I have?" Han Sen did not understand.

"You went to Godslayer Shelter?" Luolan asked.

Han Sen nodded. "I was on my way through. Due to a business arrangement, I had to go. But don't you worry, I haven't established any ties to them. It's done."

Looking very angry, Luolan pointed to the gift box on the table. She said, "If nothing happened, then why did Old Stubbornness send these things here?"

"Old Stubbornness? You mean Luo Haitang? What did he send here? Does he want to teach Han Yan some horrible skill again? I'm telling you, she shouldn't learn that stuff. It'll harm her lifespan," Han Sen said quickly.

Luolan shook her head and said, "These were my favorite snacks. After all these years, he still remembers. You better tell me what you did with him. There's no way that Old Stubbornness would concede to me and ask Luo Li to deliver these things. Luo Li brought it, but there were some items in there she didn't know about. It must have been his idea."

Luolan said she'd never go back to see the Luo family again, but when Luo Haitang sent her those things, it made her feel weird. She was both touched and confused. After so many years, Luo Haitang finally understood. He didn't come, but the items he had included obviously meant a lot. Luolan didn't believe someone with Luo Haitang's personality would do this.

But Luolan was worried Han Sen had sacrificed something, which prompted the gesture.

Chapter 1570: Number 4

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Sen himself was surprised. Although he had seen Luo Haitang in Godslayer Shelter, he hadn't agreed to any of the man's requests or given him anything. So, why would the old man send a gift? It seemed as if he really wanted to re-establish a connection with Luolan.

But given Luolan's personality, Han Sen knew what Luo Haitang might have been like. It had been many years since he saw her, and there had been no texting or form of communication in the meantime. If he'd really wanted to send her something, he'd had plenty of time to do it. It wouldn't have had to be that day, of all days.

Now that he had sent something, it obviously had something to do with him having just met Han Sen.

"Mom, I didn't do anything for him. I didn't agree to anything." Han Sen went on to relay the story of how he encountered Luo Haitang.

"You dodged his palm?" Luolan looked at Han Sen with wide open eyes. She looked as if she was in shock.

"I didn't learn the Falsified-Sky Sutra, either. But you know that I knew about it and what to expect. Is there something wrong with the fact that I managed to dodge it?" Han Sen didn't think there was a problem.

"No, there's nothing wrong. You did a great job." Luolan was very happy to hear this. She put her fingers on Han Sen's cheek and rubbed it. "My good son, you really did a great job."

"What does that mean?" Han Sen looked confused, not entirely sure what had just happened. He had very rarely seen her this happy.

"Nothing. It's just good, that's all." Luolan smiled and left, not really answering Han Sen's question.

Han Sen rested at home for another two days before returning to the sanctuary. When he got back, he went directly to Gu Qingcheng's room.

Just as he was about to knock on the door to her chamber, he heard Gu Qingcheng's voice say, "Come in, the door isn't locked."

Han Sen lightly pushed the door open. Gu Qingcheng was in front of a table, drawing with an old pen.

Han Sen learned about what she was doing in a history lesson; it was calligraphy. She was using a brush pen, a tool devised by ancient humans to write. They weren't really used anymore.

The few that still existed were typically used by artists for a few odd tasks. He hadn't expected Gu Qingcheng to be the sort to love them like so.

Han Sen wasn't very good with art, but he could tell that she must have had a lot of practice to draw with the level of talent she had.

Gu Qingcheng lowered her pen. She took a moment to admire her own artwork before asking, "Why were you looking for me?"

Han Sen smiled and then said, "I met someone who told me some wild things about you. I don't know if he was a liar, so I'd like to ask you for the truth about these things he said about you."

"Oh? What did he say about me?" Gu Qingcheng looked at Han Sen as if her curiosity had been piqued.

Han Sen had already established how he'd approach this conversation in his mind. Now, he smiled and said, "He said you killed Cruel Chi. Is that true or false?"

Gu Qingcheng frowned and said, "Maybe. I don't remember. I have killed many creatures in my lifetime."

"Cruel Chi was a famous demi-god super creature. If you killed one such as that, you wouldn't have forgotten, would you?" Han Sen didn't believe her.

"I really did just forget. Why would I lie about this?" Gu Qingcheng said, with lifted lips.

Han Sen thought that if Gu Qingcheng wanted to lie, she would have just said a simple yes or no. He couldn't quite tell from the answer he was given.

"It's okay if you don't remember that. He said a lot of other things. He said you drank the pee of a Jade Beast to avoid dying of thirst out in the desert and…" Han Sen was going to say a few similar statements, but before he could finish speaking the first, Gu Qingcheng's face changed.

"Impossible! No one knew about that. How would you know?" Gu Qingcheng stared at Han Sen as if she had seen a ghost.

"You really did this? Then did you hide inside the Hunting Sky Beast's egg and end up getting sat on by the Hunting Sky Beast for an entire month?" Han Sen asked.

"Impossible! No one should know about this. Who did you hear it from?" Gu Qingcheng's face changed. She ran in front of him and grabbed him by the sleeves.

"I said I met someone, didn't I? He told me these things, saying that he saw you commit these acts. I thought he was lying. I had no idea he was telling me the truth." Han Sen was both surprised and happy. He was now sure Gu Qingcheng was the Number 4 in the diary.

"Impossible! When I did these things, humans did not even know what a steamer was. Who could have seen me?" Gu Qingcheng looked annoyed.

Han Sen froze. His eyes opened wide as he looked at her, and he said, "Steamer? That is something from ancient times. Were you in the sanctuary all the way back then?"

Han Sen couldn't believe what he was hearing, but Gu Qingcheng had unwittingly proved what he wished to know.

Gu Qingcheng frowned as she stared at him. She said, "You are right. I am from that era. I was in the sanctuary even during ancient times. Tell me who told you this stuff. When I did these things, humans could not appear in the sanctuaries. They shouldn't have been able to see me."

"No way. Back then, there were no teleporters. There weren't even generators. How were you able to enter the sanctuary? You're joking, right?" Han Sen heard every word, but he found it hard to believe.

"Does it look like I am joking?" Gu Qingcheng said coldly.

"But that is not right. Even if you entered the shelter, that would have been at least ten thousand years ago. Even as a demi-god, your few-hundred-year lifespan should have long been over. How have you lived for so long?"

Gu Qingcheng had admitted to something quite strange. He didn't believe it.

"I don't care if you believe it or not. I only want you to tell me who told you this stuff." Gu Qingcheng's face looked dim.

A chill had run down her spine. The things she had done were something no other human could have seen. The things Han Sen spoke of were events she believed no one else would know about. Spirits and creatures couldn't have known, either.

Now that Han Sen had said this, it spooked her quite a bit. If someone knew about these things, then it meant someone had been watching her in ancient times and even up until now. This was a pretty scary thing to learn.

"Is there a way for you to prove to me you hail from ancient times?" Han Sen saw that she wasn't actually joking. He had a number of different questions he wished to ask her.

Chapter 1571: Qi Gong Caster

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"It doesn't matter if I can or not. If you don't believe me, just pretend I'm not. But just tell me who told you these things." Gu Qingcheng knew Han Sen, and she knew it couldn't have been Han Sen who saw those events. Someone must have told him. So, Gu Qingcheng had no reason to be suspicious about what he had told her.

"I'm not sure. I met someone, but I don't know anything about him. I never saw him again, after that." Han Sen didn't know who the person was, so he couldn't tell her.

Gu Qingcheng frowned and looked at Han Sen. She didn't believe what he said. After all, why would some random stranger tell him such stories?

Han Sen kept talking about things that didn't matter, now wanting to slip away. He had at least confirmed that Gu Qingcheng was the elusive Number 4.

But if Gu Qingcheng was a human that had been in the sanctuaries in ancient times, like she had just told him, how did she enter? And how was she still alive after all that time had passed?

Something else confused Han Sen, too. If Number 4 was a number the observer had just written down, did that mean the other numbers were humans, too?

If they were humans, how were the numbers decided? If the numbers were given by order of entry into the sanctuaries, then that meant three had already come before her.

Of course, this was all just guesswork. The numbers might not have even represented humans.

"You can leave, but you need to explain things to me first." Gu Qingcheng raced to the door and blocked the exit, prohibiting Han Sen from leaving.

Han Sen looked at Gu Qingcheng. He thought what she said was fairly believable. When he first met her, he thought she was strange. He never thought she fit into this world, anyway. The name Gu Qingcheng itself was something rather old fashioned. It wasn't a modern human name, at all.

And some of her behavior flat-out made Han Sen feel strange. She was both mysterious and hauntingly beautiful, and that in itself was odd. Her being different might have been something to expect, then.

Now that he thought about it, Gu Qingcheng didn't look like a modern human, either.

"I can tell you what you want to know, but first, I need you to tell me who you are," Han Sen said quietly.

"I told you already. You're the one who chose not to believe me," Gu Qingcheng said.

"Even if I did believe you are an ancient human, you should have a historical identity. Back then, humans were separated by countries. Which country did you hail from? What did you do before?" What Han Sen wanted to know the most was how she had managed to enter the sanctuary.

He was afraid that by asking her directly, he wouldn't receive an answer. First, he had to test the waters.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Han Sen with strange doubt, but answered, "I am from the Chu State. I am a Qi Gong Caster."

"Qi Gong Caster? Which faction did you belong to?" Han Sen asked politely.

"That's none of your business," Gu Qingcheng answered.

"How did you get into the sanctuary?" Han Sen asked.

"If I answer this question, you will have to tell me who told you all that stuff." Gu Qingcheng looked right at Han Sen when she said this.

"Okay, it's a deal," Han Sen agreed.

With no hesitation, Gu Qingcheng said, "I am from Chu State, but I practiced at sea. Once, when I returned to land in my boat, a weird vortex appeared. I fell into it, and when I came to, I was in the sanctuary."

"Which planet was the vortex on? And where?" Han Sen asked.

"That's pointless information. I left the sanctuary many times to search for the vortex, but I learned nothing. I have even used powerful submarines to search underwater. All I've found are ordinary seas and nothing else special," Gu Qingcheng said.

Han Sen nodded. "According to what you have said, if you are from Chu State, it has been tens of thousands of years. How have you managed to live so long?"

"I told you. I have answered your original question, and now it is your turn to answer mine. Answer my question; who told you this stuff?" Gu Qingcheng said.

Han Sen pulled out a book and showed it to her. It wasn't the diary he found in the control room, though. It was a copy he had made. The Number 4 sections were there, while he had left the original at home.

This was why Han Sen did not go see her immediately.

Gu Qingcheng took the book and opened it with confusion. After seeing it, her face changed. She flipped through the book really quickly and soon looked ill.

"Who is this person?" Gu Qingcheng closed the book and stared at Han Sen. She looked very angry, and goosebumps ran up and down her skin after having read all the complaints.

From what she asked, it looked as if something she never thought would be known had now been exposed for all to see. She felt naked.

"I don't know the writer, but I copied it from a book I found in God's Ruin." Han Sen went on to tell her what happened.

Gu Qingcheng wasn't too convinced with the tale, though. She stared at him for a good long while. She wanted to find the truth from his face, but she was disappointed.

"If what you're saying is true, there must be more numbers. There has to be another three, at least," Gu Qingcheng said thoughtfully.

"Yes, but there isn't much about them. Just two sentences. You were the focus of the record." Han Sen smiled.

"Let me see the other parts." Gu Qingcheng reached out her hand.

"Okay, but you need to tell me how you've managed to live all this time." Han Sen blinked.

Gu Qingcheng did not hesitate, and it looked as if she had just thought of something. She had to confirm her thoughts and said, "I had been here for a dozen years when I explored God's Ruin. I entered a strange place and got trapped there. It felt like a short time, maybe a few months. But when I came out, the teleporters in the shelters that were previously not available for use, now were functional. I used one of them to leave the sanctuary, and then I learned that tens of thousands of years had passed."

Saying this, Gu Qingcheng then thought of something quite upsetting. She looked darkly at Han Sen and said, "Not long after I returned to the Alliance, I met your liar. I met your great-grandfather."

Han Sen could imagine what would happen if a person displaced from the ancient past met a liar.

"The place you went to; were there many crystal machines?" Han Sen asked.

Chapter 1572: Co-operative Partner

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Gu Qingcheng nodded. "You are right. The rooms you and I went to were similar. There were some differences, however. I guess those must have been crystallizer items, but I didn't know that at the time. And when I actually returned from there, I was unable to find the entrance I had originally used."

Han Sen thought the sanctuaries definitely had some association with the crystallizers now. When he entered the Main Control Room, he himself had been taken ten years into the future. He had no reason to doubt what she was telling him.

But Han Sen still believed that something was amiss. He looked at Gu Qingcheng and said, "I remember something; weren't you a member of the seventh team? You were with Han Jinzhi in the beginning, and it's a well-known fact that humans were unable to enter the sanctuaries at that point. The teleporters were just for testing. Did you get out through one of those devices?"

Gu Qingcheng shook her head. "Teleporters aren't the only way for one to leave the sanctuaries. When I teleported away, I found myself standing at an altar situated in some old construct on a human-inhabited planet. It was my exit point, but there was no way for me to re-enter from there. When I eventually returned to the sanctuaries, I made use of human-built teleporters to go to and fro."

Han Sen asked, "When you entered the sanctuary with Han Jinzhi, what did you see?"

"I have answered enough for now. Now it's your turn. Give me the rest of the book." Gu Qingcheng simply put out her hands.

"Answer my last question: what happened there?" Han Sen insisted on an answer for this.

"I don't know what happened. We met a being called God. He said he could fulfill our grandest wishes, but we would only receive one each. Han Jinzhi told me not to make a wish, so I left with Ning. Ning did not make a wish, either. After that, I'm unsure what happened," Gu Qingcheng said.

"Were you a demi-god by that point already? Did you think that was God himself, or was it just some strong, almighty creature?" Han Sen asked.

"I don't know. I guess that place was the elusive Fifth Sanctuary, though. The God we met might have just been a god class creature," Gu Qingcheng said, and then put her hands out again. She said, "I've answered everything you've wanted to hear. Now, give me what I'm owed."

"I left the original version at home. I'll have to go and get it." There was nothing more Han Sen could ask, so he complied and went to retrieve the diary for her.

She could read ancient texts better than Han Sen, so she moved through the contents of the diary at a much faster pace.

"Strange. That's very strange." Gu Qingcheng was talking to herself as she perused the contents of the book.

"What is strange?" Han Sen quickly asked.

"The creatures mentioned are from the Fourth God's Sanctuary. I saw some after I became a demi-god, but when humans from the Alliance entered, they all disappeared. These people who are numbered, they sound like individuals that might be easy to find. I don't think they are the same sort of humans you'd find in the Alliance," Gu Qingcheng said.

"Maybe they're like you. Perhaps they were people who could enter before all humans naturally could," Han Sen suggested.

"Judging from the numerical values, it seems as if there might be a few thousand such people. I have never met them during my time in the sanctuaries, however," Gu Qingcheng said.

"The sanctuaries are big places. A few thousand scattered across such vast worlds? I'd say it's not too out of the ordinary that you haven't encountered any," Han sen said.

Gu Qingcheng shook her head and said, "Impossible. Some people mentioned in here are said to have killed famous demi-god super creatures. There's no way I wouldn't have heard about any of these feats being accomplished."

"Hmm, that is weird. Maybe the numbers aren't all humans, then?" Han Sen pointed at the last part and asked. "Can you explain the last part? It sounds as if you hadn't been seen in a while. Where did you go off to?"

"Is it because I entered that strange place, and they could not see me?" Gu Qingcheng said, after some thought.

"That is possible. But that also means these observations began recently. Those numbered humans are old humans, though, not modern humans," Han Sen said, after also taking a moment to think.

"It looks like the crystallizers have quite the connection to the sanctuaries, but history says they were destroyed a long time ago. There are many tidbits to string together and figure out here." Gu Qingcheng gave the dairy back to Han Sen and then went on to say, "If you want to get to the bottom of all this, we can co-operate. If you make any more discoveries, how about you share what you know with me? We can investigate this together. What do you think?"

"I can agree to that, yes." Han Sen then asked, "What is up with Elysian Moon, by the way? Why do you both look identical? She is a spirit."

"That is one item of discussion that is none of your business." Gu Qingcheng's temperament went cold.

"We are co-operating, aren't we? It's best that partners get to know each other a bit better." Han Sen smiled.

"This is off-limits to our co-operation." Gu Qingcheng then swiftly pushed Han Sen out of her room and slammed the door.

Han Sen touched his nose and left. He wasn't put off—he'd just ask again next time.

"It's time to show off my skills." Han Sen went to the geno core storage. He wanted to get all his geno cores to first place before proceeding to gold class.

Han Sen's genes had leveled up very quickly, but his geno cores hadn't been given the opportunity to catch up. He wanted to spend some time upgrading his geno cores now.

It would be difficult to reach super class, but reaching gemstone should be easy enough.

Han Sen used Crystal Core as his key for entry. This geno core was already in first place, so many wished to challenge and dethrone it.

Han Sen then saw a familiar name. It was Ghost Eye. He was in the top ten in the silver geno core rankings. Han Sen wasn't sure if Ghost Eye had worked his way through the ranks, or if he had just bought his way up.

Han Sen remembered striking a bargain with him once—one that Ghost Eye swiftly betrayed. Although Ghost Eye had ultimately failed, Han Sen was still upset about what had occurred.

"This guy has guts to challenge me. If he wants to die, I suppose I don't mind helping him." Han Sen clenched his fists and accepted Ghost Eye's challenge. Then, he entered the geno core battleground.

Han Sen found the three-eyed panther waiting on the battleground. It was indeed the lying *sshole Ghost Eye.

"You've got some nerve showing your face to me." Han Sen moved his body and teleported directly in front of the tricky feline.

"Boss, hang on! I have a big secret I wish to inform you about!" Ghost Eye screamed as he tried to run.

Chapter 1573: Blow Blood

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"You and your secret can go to hell." Han Sen wasn't having any of it. Wearing the Ghost Armor given to him by Ghost Eye, he dashed in front of the creature and attempted to punch its head in.

"I have an emperor geno core! I was going to give it to you, please take it!" Ghost Eye screamed, seeing he'd be unable to dodge the manic fist.

When Han Sen heard this, he stopped. He let his fist hover above the panther's third-eye, and he said, "You've got three seconds. If I don't see an emperor geno core within the allotted time, you're going straight to hell. One…"

Ghost Eye gritted his teeth and pulled out an item that resembled a claw. He placed it in front of Han Sen. Then, he said, "Boss! This is it. I know I was wrong to do what I did last time, but now I am being whole-heartedly sincere. For first place, I am willing to give you this emperor geno core. Please, believe me once more."

Han Sen took the item from Ghost Eye, with his other hand still hovering above the creature's head. He said, "This is an emperor geno core?"

Han Sen did not believe Ghost Eye. If he had an emperor geno core, why would he throw it away to get first place for a silver geno core? Not even first place in the gemstone leaderboard would be worth that much, he reckoned.

It was a strange geno core. In the geno core storage, a geno core was sealed and unusable if it wasn't the self geno core used as a key for entry. But that geno core did not look as if it had just been sealed by the geno core storage. It looked grey and dark, like rusted steel. It was weird.

It looked like a flute, minus the holes. It was like a pipe made of stone.

Ghost Eye smiled and said, "You are smart. This is indeed an emperor geno core, but it just has the problem of being sealed. But with your strength, you can most certainly unseal it and become the best in the Fourth God's Sanctuary."

"Had you been able to unseal it, you wouldn't have given it to me, would you?" Han Sen looked at him with disdain.

Ghost Eye looked awkward, and with a grin, he said, "I was unable to open it because I was weak. You, however, are so strong. You must certainly be able to."

"I'm taking the item as a punishment for you breaking the deal last time. If you want to gain first place this time, go and bring me something even better. Don't bring me something else like this," Han Sen said, and without giving the creature a chance to object, he punched it in the face.

Ghost Eye hacked out blood. He had been injured, but he was allowed to concede and exit the geno battleground.

"F*ck! He's worse than me. He took my stuff and didn't give me anything." Ghost Eye was feeling fairly disheartened.

He had tricked Han Sen once, but he had never expected him to reach first place again. Now that he had sacrificed the emperor geno core and gotten beaten up without obtaining first place as he desired, he was dismayed.

"It looks like I'll have to wait until he reaches gold class before I can reach first place. I wasted my emperor class geno core." Ghost Eye was feeling very upset, and he spoke his sorrow aloud.

Ghost Eye had given Han Sen an emperor geno core. It was quite infamous in the Fourth God's Sanctuary, but so was its seal. No one had ever been able to open it. The emperor that used to own it was named Drink Blood Emperor. He was a very infamous spirit, and this geno core belonged to him. It was called Blow Blood.

The sad thing was, Drink Blood Emperor garnered the ire of a certain creature and was killed by it. The result of this circumstance left Blow Blood sealed.

After that, the Blow Blood geno core had passed through the hands of many different elites. Sadly, no one had ever figured out how to unseal it. Its renown increased, but so too did the belief that it was completely worthless.

After all, no matter how strong you were, a sealed geno core was useless. Ghost Eye had only managed to get it recently, and he wished to speak with Han Sen and offer it up in exchange for first place.

But Han Sen wanted to kill him right away, and in a rush, Ghost Eye had to play his cards and reveal Blow Blood. He had actually planned to trick him again, after the exchange, too.

But now that Blow Blood had been taken, and he had not obtained first place, Ghost Eye was quite upset.

Fortunately, Blow Blood's worth was only the equivalent of a gemstone geno core nowadays. Therefore, it wasn't all that expensive to lose. He'd be a lot more upset if he lost something of even greater value.

Han Sen, seeing Ghost Eye, was not in a rush to level up his Crystal Core now. He wanted to scam the panther and drain him of what he could before proceeding on to gold class.

Han Sen left the geno core storage with the intent of studying his new geno core. He wanted to see if he was the one who could unseal the item.

Han Sen had never heard of Blow Blood geno core, though. He didn't know where it came from, and a part of him even thought it wasn't actually an emperor geno core.

Han Sen summoned his gold class Real Blood geno core and attached it to the Blow Blood geno core. He wanted to see if that would allow it to be used.

Real Blood landed on the grey pipe. It didn't melt into it, but it didn't slide down, either. It seemed to be absorbing. Han Sen watched the process, and near Real Blood's position, a red line like a piece of silk was being generated. It seemed as if Real Blood was soaking into the geno core.

Han Sen was delighted, and so he thought, "It looks like Real Blood is helping with the seal. At this rate, it might take a few days."

If Ghost Eye learned that Blow Blood could be unsealed, he'd definitely be angrier.

Han Sen still did not know whether or not it was an emperor geno core, but the seal was very powerful. He had no doubt about that. It was a high class geno core, either way. It was definitely super, at the very least.

As Han Sen continued his investigation, Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon suddenly walked into the hall. Elysian Moon hadn't been seen for a while. This time, she had come back looking terrible. She was covered in wounds. Her face was pale and bloodied.

"There is an angry creature nearby. It's a super creature, and it hurt Elysian Moon. I'm going to go kill it. Would you like to come with me?" Gu Qingcheng asked Han Sen directly.

"How are you going to split the profits?" Han Sen asked.

"You can have the loot. I just want to avenge her," Gu Qingcheng said.

"She wouldn't come looking for me if it was this easy. There must be something up with the creature." Han Sen didn't think Gu Qingcheng would approach Han Sen to assign an easy task.

Chapter 1574: There Once Was an Invincible Geno Core

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"The Destroyer Wolf at rank 139 on the super geno core leaderboard won't be all that easy to kill," Gu Qingcheng said.

"May I ask what your rank is on the super geno core leaderboard?" Han Sen asked, out of genuine curiosity.

"I am seventeenth," Gu Qingcheng said carelessly.

"You're that high? You're seventeenth and you can't defeat this Destroyer Wolf that is only 139?" Han Sen was surprised.

"It can't beat me in raw strength, but it has the ability to consume space. I will be unable to catch him, and that is why I'll need you and Nightmare," Gu Qingcheng said.

"To me, it sounds as if all you really need is the assistance of Little Red. Why don't you just ask him straight away? I can't make him come." Han Sen shook his head.

"He won't accept my invitation, but you will be just as useful as him. You can come to help," Gu Qingcheng said.

"Okay. And just to confirm what you told me; I will be receiving the items once it's dead, yes?" Han Sen smiled.

"If you can truly help, sure. Would you plan on taking the loot even if you didn't put any effort in?" Qu Qingcheng wasn't very polite when it came to these sorts of affairs.

"We will see, but I am known to take out as much as I put in." Han Sen did not argue and just went along with her.

He wanted to see how strong Gu Qingcheng was if she truly was ranked seventeenth on the super geno core leaderboard.

Han Sen followed Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon out of the shelter. The travel was dull for Han Sen, and he found himself bored. So, he asked, "Who is in first place on the super geno core leaderboard?"

Gu Qingcheng was equally bored. She said, "The one currently in first place is the fellow who leads Sacred. He claims to be God's own child, but there are others who have the same might as him. The person in first place switches every now and again."

"Why does the person in first place frequently change?" Han Sen asked, having been surprised by this.

"What's so weird about that? There are many powerful geno cores there, of emperor class and berserk class. They're all good at something. No one is the absolute strongest. That being said, when I first became a demi-god, I heard there was a geno core that held first place for a very long time. It hadn't lost once. But that is the only time in history when the first place on the super geno core leaderboard seemed fixed. Nowadays, the holder of the first position changes frequently," Gu Qingcheng said.

"What was that geno core's name? Is it still on the leaderboard?" Han Sen asked with curiosity. You're reading on NovelFull .Tks!

"If it was still on the leaderboard, the ranks wouldn't keep changing. I have only heard about it through hearsay, though. When I first arrived here, it was already gone. I suppose you could say it's more of a myth now. Its name, however, was Destiny's Tower. I can only suppose it left for the Fifth Sanctuary alongside its master," Gu Qingcheng said.

When Han Sen heard Gu Qingcheng say this, his heart jumped. If that stellar geno core was indeed Destiny's Tower, it probably meant the one resting in his Sea of Soul.

"Sh*t! Destiny's Tower is that strong?" Han Sen held onto his excitement and pretended the name didn't ring any bells. Then, he asked, "Who was Destiny's Tower's master?"

"I don't know, and I don't think anyone does. It's an old myth, and it is something I have only heard of once," Gu Qingcheng said.

Han Sen asked a few more questions, but she didn't know much. She said the master of Destiny's Tower was strange. The rumors said when he first appeared on the geno core leaderboard, he did so at a low rank. Apparently, it was in the ten-thousands.

No one had seen it in the first few ranks, but all of a sudden, it managed to reach number one. No one knew whether that was a good thing or a bad thing.

Of course, this was just part of the myth. Gu Qingcheng had only heard about these events. She hadn't witnessed them first-hand.

Han Sen retreated into thought. "Is this Destiny's Tower the same one that's in my Sea of Soul? If it is that good, and so was its master, why did they not go on to the Fifth Sanctuary? And who was that being in armor that resided in the black chimenea? Why was he an enemy of Destiny's Tower's master?"

All these questions now rattled around Han Sen's head, but thinking he actually owned that tower now, he almost lost control and laughed his head off.

"Dad, why are you so happy?" Bao'er was in Han Sen's arms. She looked right at him as she spoke.

"Oh, it's just because you're next to me. That's why I am happy," Han Sen quickly said. He was worried Gu Qingcheng might have gotten suspicious.

When Bao'er heard this, she was delighted. She kissed Han Sen on the cheek and said, "I am happy too, when you are around me!"

Elysian Moon couldn't bear watching it. She balked. "Ugh, you two are so gross!"

"You're just jealous. You could be like me, if you had a beautiful daughter, too." Han Sen held Bao'er and laughed at her.

"Humph!" Elysian Moon turned glum and looked away.

Han Sen felt weird about that, though. He wasn't sure what he said that might have upset her. What he said shouldn't have peeved her as it did.

Gu Qingcheng then changed the subject. "When you see Destroyer Wolf, be careful. It can consume space, and it can also leap out at you from tears in the dimension, pouncing at you from any angle. If he slips into a space-crack, follow me."

"That sounds annoying. How do you plan on killing it?" Han Sen frowned and asked.

Han Sen had enough power to fight super creatures, but this was a berserk super creature with space powers. It would be a hard fight. That was, unless he used his Destiny's Tower. But that thing cost a lot of energy, and it wouldn't be wise to show it off in public.

If others recognized it was Destiny's Tower, and it was in the hands of a human, all the emperors and super creatures would come dogpile on him to end him.

"Maybe we should take a look first. There's every chance we won't get to him," Gu Qingcheng said.

"What do you mean?" Han Sen was shocked.

"That Destroyer Wolf offended some people. For some reason, many creatures and spirits are now after him. We're just going to try our luck and see if we can get it. We might not even be able to find it," Gu Qingcheng said.

"Why didn't you tell me any of this sooner?" Han Sen frowned.

Hearing her say this, Han Sen knew this task would not be as simple as he had initially assumed.

Chapter 1575: Sacred Egg Was Stolen

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

They walked for less than two days, and there were scary beings everywhere. Sometimes, Han Sen could even detect powerful auras sweeping across the sky. However, the creatures seemed to be moving chaotically. It felt less like they were chasing something, and more like they were searching.

"They must be looking for that Destroyer Wolf," said Elysian Moon.

Just when Han Sen was about to respond, Xu Mi ran up to him and said, "Teacher, something major is happening!"

"What's happening?" Han Sen asked, looking at Xu Mi. He had sent Xu Mi out earlier to train.

Xu Mi said excitedly, "The Destroyer Wolf stole a descendant of the master of Sacred shelter! Now, it has come toward us, and many powerful super creatures are chasing it."

"A child of Sacred shelter's master? A creature like Goddess?" Han Sen suddenly imagined a goddess climbing out of an egg, which was a bizarre thought.

"Yes. I heard that it's the child of Sacred's master and a berserk super creature, but the berserk super creature wasn't living in Sacred shelter, which was how to Destroyer Wolf managed to steal the egg. Now, many powerful shelters like Sacred and Outer Sky are all hunting that Destroyer Wolf," said Xu Mi.

"Sacred is powerful enough to gather all those shelters to help him?" asked Han Sen, amazed.

"No. They're all looking for the egg. It's a descendant of two berserk super creatures, so its genes must be extraordinary. The egg will be highly beneficial to any being that eats it. If it's a female, then they'll keep it and make it procreate with others to further improve the genes." Xu Mi couldn't be more excited. He lowered his voice and said to Han Sen, "Teacher, should we also go look for it? If we're lucky enough, perhaps we can actually find the egg."

"Then let's try to find it before others do." Han Sen didn't have much hope for it. Many top-tier shelters sent their most powerful creatures to look for the Destroyer Wolf and that egg.

That Destroyer Wolf had been given plenty of time to hide itself. Han Sen didn't think they alone would be able to find it. And even if he could find it, it wouldn't be easy to steal the egg from so many terrifying beings.

Many powerful creatures swept across the sky above them. After only half a day, Han Sen detected twenty different creatures flying over him, and those were just the ones close enough for him to notice.

However, they were still searching chaotically. It seemed that they still hadn't found the Destroyer Wolf yet.

"Elysian Moon, where did you meet the Destroyer Wolf?" Han Sen asked her.

"Near Rolling Dragon Lake," Elysian Moon said, pointing in a direction.

Han Sen was kind of familiar with the area around him, since it wasn't far from his shelter. Rolling Dragon Like was a giant lake among the mountains, and it was named such because of the dragon-like creatures in the lake. Han Sen had heard that there was a lake nearby, but he had never been there.

Though Rolling Dragon Lake was among the mountains, it was very large, more than a hundred square miles.

However, the water in the lake was dark, giving out dark light like gas. It looked dense, so nobody could see anything that was even an inch below the water's surface. Nobody could say for sure whether a creature could actually live in the water or not.

When Han Sen and the others arrived at the lake, they found Goddess already there. Goddess looked a bit different from before. Her lifeforce had become terrifying, but it was also obscured and difficult to read. It seemed that she had reached super level.

Just as Han Sen observed Goddess, she also noticed Han Sen, and her eyes became aloof. However, seeing Gu Qingcheng beside Han Sen, Goddess frowned and began walking toward Han Sen with some creatures from her shelter beside her.

There were four creatures beside Goddess, and they were all livid. Apparently, they were already super creatures, and all of them were mighty.

However, Goddess didn't talk to Han Sen. Instead, she walked up to Gu Qingcheng and asked, "Elysium Master, is this person related to you?"

"How is that your business, one way or the other?" asked Gu Qingcheng, mildly.

"This man is a mortal enemy of mine. If he doesn't have anything to do with you, I'm going to take my revenge now."

Gu Qingcheng took a look at Han Sen, squinted her eyes, and said, "What do you think?"

Han Sen heard it and said, "Of course there's a connection between us. We're partners working together."

"You heard that, right?" Gu Qingcheng said, glancing at Goddess.

"Of course. I'll let him go this time for your sake." Goddess waved her hands and left with those four super creatures.

"You get along pretty well here." Han Sen gave a thumbs up to Gu Qingcheng.

"You owe me one," said Gu Qingcheng.

"Okay, no problem, but I'm still a bit confused. Why did she call you Elysium Master? You're a human. How did you become the head of the Elysium race?" Han Sen was curious about that.

"That has nothing to do with you." Gu Qingcheng glared at him, then took Elysian Moon and walked toward the lake.

Han Sen looked in the direction that Goddess had vanished, then followed Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon.

There was indeed some evidence of a fight that had happened beside the lake, and there were some residual tears in the fabric of space. They were feeble, but they hadn't yet healed entirely.

Goddess and her sidekicks were also looking at that those rips in space. They could tell that the tears had been left by Destroyer Wolf.

Han Sen also used his Dongxuan aura to observe the remaining evidence of the wolf. There were only a few molecules left, and it was probably because Destroyer Wolf got away through the space fault, so it didn't leave any molecules on its way.

Gu Qingcheng only looked at it for a short while, but she couldn't find any clues. She frowned and said, "Someone was definitely chasing the Destroyer Wolf, and that's how Elysian Moon was lucky enough to get away. The Destroyer Wolf also escaped through the space cracks. We might not be able to find any traces here."

"Let's just walk around and look. Perhaps we'll be lucky enough to find some clues." Han Sen took a look at Rolling Dragon Lake and walked to the other side.

The Destroyer Wolf really hadn't left much of a trail, but Han Sen could see that it had left behind a few molecules, at least. He then walked toward the other side of the shining lake and found more traces of some sort of creature.

Han Sen didn't know which creature these molecules belonged to, but he could tell that those molecules had been left there at the same time as the molecules left by Destroyer Wolf. That indicated that another creature had been in the area at the same time as Destroyer Wolf. Han Sen wanted to find that creature first to see what he could learn from it.

Chapter 1576: Clue

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Destroyer Wolf got away through a space crack. What clue do you think you can find here?" Elysian Moon said, frowning.

"Let's just look around. Perhaps we can find some clues," Han Sen said as he walked.

"Then you can try your luck here. We don't think we'd find anything," Elysian Moon said while pointing in another direction.

"There nothing to find here. We can secretly follow the groups from Sacred and Outer Sky. Better that than wasting our time here," said Gu Qingcheng.

"Then let's separate into two teams. You can follow them, and I'll keep looking here." Han Sen wasn't in a rush.

There were too many powerful beings from Sacred and Outer Sky, and everyone was on high alert, so Han Sen's group would be easily spotted. Han Sen planned to walk around to check for any remaining molecules. He wanted to see what kind of creatures were with the Destroyer Wolf.

"Okay. I'll leave you some marks to indicate where we've gone." Elysian Moon was already walking away, so Gu Qingcheng left Han Sen a mark and hurried after her.

Xu Mi wanted to follow them as well, but since Han Sen was not going, he had to follow Han Sen.

"Teacher, that Destroyer Wolf has fled through the space fault. Why are we still looking for clues here? We'd better follow Goddess's group. There'll be some interesting things happening later," Xu Mi said. He didn't think he'd be able to seize the egg; he just wanted to watch those powerful beings fight each other.

Han Sen smiled and said, "I'll keep searching here. You can follow those two if you really want to go."

Xu Mi thought for a minute and said, "I'd rather follow you, teacher,"

Han Sen didn't say anything more. Instead, he followed the molecules along the lake. There were only a few molecules left. It had been quite a long time, so there were only some scent molecules left, and they were not continuous. It would take Han Sen a long while to follow such a faint trail.

Xu Mi saw Han Sen walk around the lake, looking around everywhere. He walked slowly, but he didn't know what Han Sen was looking at. He could only follow behind Han Sen.

Han Sen walked around most of the lake, and at some point, the trail disappeared. He walked forward, but he couldn't find any more molecules.

"Weird. Where are they?" Han Sen walked back to the last spot he had seen the molecules, and he observed the place carefully.

You're reading on NovelFull Thanks!

It was very close to the lake shore, and there were some black water stains at the shoreline.

"Does this lake rise at some point? Did the creature that left the scent enter the lake? Why did he walk around for so long instead of entering the lake immediately? Is there something special in this location?" Han Sen frowned as he thought.

He observed the lake, but he couldn't see anything special. The lake here was exactly like other areas of Rolling Dragon Lake. It was dark like ink, and he couldn't see anything inside.

The surface of the water was peaceful as well, and there were no ripples. Han Sen couldn't find any living beings in the lake using his Dongxuan Aura.

"What are you looking at, teacher?" Xu Mi stood beside Han Sen and looked at the lake, but he couldn't see anything either.

"I'm looking for clues," Han Sen said with a smile.

"Clues? What clues? I can't see anything." Xu Mi was curious. He observed the lake again, but he still couldn't see anything there.

"What would you need me for if you could see through everything?" Han Sen said condescendingly.

Xu Mi said, "No wonder you're a teacher. I can't even compare with you. Please, teacher, teach me something. What kind of clues are there in this lake?"

"My disciple, you will only truly learn if you find the answers yourself. You have to use your brain more and think it through. That's how you actually learn things." Han Sen pointed at the lake and said, "Just observe here. I'll go to other areas to see if I can find other clues."

"Okay, teacher. I won't let you down." Xu Mi kept staring at the lake, trying to find the clues his teacher alluded to.

Han Sen kept walking around the lake, carrying Bao'er. He walked all the way around the lake, and then he began walking around in the forest nearby, hoping to find the scent molecules again.

Xu Mi gazed at the lake for a long time, but he still couldn't find any clues.

"Teacher is indeed wise and mysterious, and I'm not at the same level that he is. What did teacher find here?" Xu Mi gazed at the lake more carefully.

Actually, Han Sen didn't find any clues himself. He just felt that it wasn't a coincidence that he found some scent molecules there, so he asked Xu Mi to stay there to see whether he could find anything.

If Han Sen was correct, the creature must have dived back into the lake when the tides rose in Rolling Dragon Lake. Han Sen then decided to walk around Rolling Dragon Lake and come back when the tides rose again. Perhaps he could find something after that.

Han Sen walked around the nearby forest for a while, and he didn't find the trail he was looking for, but he did find a familiar scent.

"Ghost Eye? Why is it here? It's so weak. Is it being suicidal?" Han Sen checked it carefully, and he found some other molecule traces that resembled those of Ghost Eye. There were two other types of molecules, but he wasn't sure which creatures they belonged to, and he couldn't tell the power of those creatures either.

He toured the forest, and he felt several powerful forces sweeping across the sky, but none of them stayed nearby. After a short while, they were all gone.

He didn't find anything new, and it was getting darker. Han Sen went toward Rolling Dragon Lake.

"Teacher, I've found something!" Han Sen was a bit stunned. He only asked Xu Mi to stay there on the off-chance that something happened, but he hadn't expected the spirit to make a discovery.

Xu Mi pointed at the place where Han Sen asked him to stay and watch. The place where Han Sen and Xu Mi stood before was already covered by the black lake water, but there wasn't anything special there.

However, after the lakewater rose, a small section of lakewater looked different. In that one place close to the shore, the lake water that was originally black became transparent like the water in a normal lake.

However, it was already dark, and it was only a tiny area. If they didn't look at it carefully, they wouldn't have noticed the clear water at all.

"Teacher, you indeed have great acumen. I wasn't able to see anything special before, but I only saw the difference of that part of the lake after it got dark." Xu Mi looked at Han Sen in awe.
