Chapter 1485: Elysium God Body
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Emperor, it is no wonder you selected Han Sen," Xu Mi said as he sat next to Six Paths.
Six Paths shook his head and said, "This is only half of his true adeptness with the sword."
"Half of his sword skills?" Xu Mi looked at Six Paths with confusion.
Six Paths looked at Han Sen. "The core of his talent with the sword does not rely on the sword skills used, and he can use knives, spears, or even his hands with the same result. The sword is merely another tool for him. If you actually want to learn what he knows, you'll need your own god. Otherwise, you won't get what you seek, and you'll simply lose yourself."
"Thank you for the advice. I will remember this," Xu Mi said.
Down in the arena, Elysian Moon was getting desperate. The sword skills were suffocating her. She recalled what he was doing, as it was something he had learned directly from her, but she couldn't block a single strike and nor guess where the next would be coming from.
The sword cut down across her shoulder, forming a cleft through her white skin. Her fitness had not increased, and it was only her geno core that had elevated to become super class.
Elysian Moon looked to be in poor condition. Never in her worst nightmares did she envision Han Sen being her greatest obstacle, prohibiting her victory. Not even her super Elysian Umbrella had what it took to deal with him.
"Han Sen, I'm telling you again; quit now before I kill you. I am getting the God geno core, no matter what," Elysian Moon said, stumbling backwards.
"That's my line," Han Sen responded coldly, as his hands refused to halt.
Dodging the umbrella and attacking her this way, Han Sen was not in a rush. It looked as if he was just playing a game with her.
"You forced me to do this." Elysian Moon appeared to have made a decision, and she looked incredibly cruel.
Han Sen's heart jumped, stricken by a sudden worry. Her eyes turned blue, like two gleaming moons. Their brightness increased, brighter and brighter. As this occurred, he noticed Elysian Moon's lifeforce growing stronger. It was unbelievably strong, as if she had injected a crazy stimulant.
"Did she take a stimulant?" Han Sen frowned as he looked at her. Her powers were growing stronger, and with her Elysium Umbrella, her power became incredibly scary. She was feeling like a real king spirit now.
"How did she do that? She can increase her fitness to the level of king class?" Xu Mi said with shock.
Six Paths coldly responded, "The Elysium have remained hidden for too long. It seems far too few recall their Elysium God Body. It looks like she has the true Elysium blood. Without that in her veins, this change could not be triggered."
"Elysium God Body? Is that their special ability?" Xu Mi asked.
"Not really. Elysium King Emperor had this ability, but not many heirs were able to contain this power," Six Paths explained.
"What kind of ability is this? How do you suddenly raise your fitness to such a level?" Xu Mi asked.
Six Paths looked at Elysian Moon and said, "Elysian King had another name; he was called the God of Death. Elysium God Body enables the Elysium God to possess her. Their Elysium God is not an actual God, mind. But their power exceeds most Emperors. Elysium King Emperor used this power to kill six emperors, but after that, he started to lose."
"If he was that strong, then does that mean Han Sen will lose?" Xu Mi asked.
Six Paths smiled. "Maybe not. Elysium God Body is strong, and Elysium God was strong. Before I self-destructed, I might not have won against him. To be possessed by Elysium God will swiftly drain your body, though. Elysium King Emperor, when he used Elysium God, could only last like so for a single day. He managed to kill six emperors, but by that point, he was unable to withstand the power of the Elysium God and had to self-destruct. Elysian Moon's fitness is nowhere near emperor class. Such a weak body won't be able to harness the Elysium God power for long. Her time in such a condition is very limited. I think she needs to stop before she tries to possess all that power. If she becomes entirely possessed by Elysium God, she'll only succeed in blowing herself up."
"But even if she is not fully possessed, Han Sen won't be able to survive an attack like that, surely. The Elysian Umbrella, if fueled by that power, will wipe him out in a single strike, won't it?" Xu Mi then asked Six Paths, "Do you think Han Sen still has a chance?"
"I don't know. Usually, I wouldn't think so, but he's a special guy. Maybe he will make it." Six Paths looked at Han Sen with tingling interest.
Xu Mi gave a wry smile. What Six Paths said meant he was basically hoping for a miracle to show up.
In the arena, just like Six Paths said, Elysian Moon started her attack before she was fully transformed.
She moved her umbrella, using it to face Han Sen.
The power made the vortex spin incredibly fast, and Han Sen was unable to react. He wished to dodge, but his body was too slow to do so.
Han Sen felt the suction grab hold and pull him in. He used Ghost Slash, but he was unable to escape the suction. He was still getting pulled towards the pinwheel umbrella.
With Elysian Moon's power increased like that, the suction was far stronger. It wasn't just the center, either. Even if he was at the side of the umbrella, he wouldn't be able to escape that pull.
This was the benefit of a self geno core. The power changed in accordance with the master's body, unlike those that were simply collected. Those didn't change regardless of the state of your body.
Han Sen used a few different powers to attempt an escape, but nothing worked. The suction was too strong, and over the course of the next moment, he was sucked into the vortex.
Everyone was shocked. An elite like Han Sen had been pulled into the Elysian Umbrella, and it told them no other spirit or creature could hope to compete with her.
After she sucked Han Sen into the Elysian Umbrella, she stopped the Elysium God possession. Although it had not been finished, that short amount of time was enough to crack her body. If she kept going, she would have surely died.
As she stopped Elysium God Body, her flesh became a webwork of cracks. Rivers of blood coursed down her body, and she looked terrible.
Chapter 1486: Real Blood Power

"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have had to do that." Elysian Moon endured her painful and weakened state, speaking to the surface of the umbrella.
She wanted to take a look at Han Sen's image, but she froze in shock when her eyes noticed its absence.
Elysian Moon was stunned. She rubbed her eyes to get a better look, but there really was nothing. The umbrella was plain, and there wasn't even the image of a single bone atop it.
The audience looked at the surface of the Elysian Umbrella the same way, thinking it to be strange. They knew what it ought to have shown, and they were just as confused at not seeing the expected picture rest atop the umbrella.
Suddenly, something red appeared on the umbrella. It was like a flower that was blooming rapidly. The color red was spreading quickly, dying her entire weapon red. Even the handle of the umbrella was beginning to get consumed by that rampant color.
Elysian Moon didn't know what to do as she watched the renegade coloring reach towards the hand with which she gripped the umbrella. She had no clue what this was, and she couldn't stop its spread. She couldn't risk contact with it, so she simply let go and dropped the Elysian Umbrella.
As the umbrella fell through the air, it continued to turn red. Before it hit the ground, the red color had consumed it completely.
Blergh! Some blood spilled from Elysian Moon's mouth. Her eyes opened wide, unable to believe her airborne umbrella had turned red.
The umbrella had practically been destroyed. Her connection to it had been severed, and this breakage caused her to sustain an even greater amount of damage. The Elysium God power had already severely injured her, and now, with this, she found herself barely able to stand.
The red umbrella then began to spin by its own volition. A vortex appeared—one that was red—and from inside it, Han Sen jumped out. As he did, he turned and allowed the umbrella to fall neatly into his hand.
Everybody looked at the scene with mouths firmly agape. They looked at Han Sen, umbrella-in-hand, in absolute shock. They had no clue how he had avoided being consumed by the umbrella, and had actually ended up taking the entire weapon off her.
Han Sen looked at the umbrella and then pointed it down at her. The umbrella began to spin again, and its suction power pulled the original master into the spooky vortex.
"Nooo!" Elysian Moon blurted out, amidst her shock. Before she could finish, though, her entire body had disappeared into the vortex, alongside her voice.
Han Sen stopped its spin. Now an image appeared atop the umbrella, one of a green-clothed woman. It was her.
Everyone was in shock. No one expected things to turn around so quickly, and in a manner such as that. Elysian Moon had been winning, and all of a sudden, Han Sen took the umbrella off her and sucked her into it instead. It was such a grand table-flip, none knew what to think.
Han Sen had entered the Elysian Umbrella, but before he went inside, he attached his Real Blood geno core to the umbrella.
Han Sen had spent a lot of time researching the blood ability of the Real Blood geno core. If it touched an object, the object would be infused with Han Sen's blood and fall under his control.
Real Blood geno core had many limitations, and it didn't even do anything on its own. If it wasn't attached to anything, as it just had been, it'd be completely useless. And its control was not permanent, either. If Han Sen took the Real Blood geno core away, his control over an item would vanish again.
Han Sen didn't know much about its temporary control, and he was still in the midst of researching other abilities it might possess.
Han Sen merely wanted to try it, though, and see if the Real Blood geno core could control the Elysian Umbrella. There was quite a gulf in level between the two, so he didn't even expect it to work.
Real Blood geno core had worked better than he imagined it would. When the geno core was on the umbrella, it swiftly melted into the weapon. He didn't even have to activate his super king spirit mode.
Elysian Moon and the umbrella were taken over by Han Sen, and after that, nothing happened in the next battle. His next opponents all decided to give up when they faced him.
When Han Sen walked to the next arena, there was no opponent. But in the center, he found an altar.
The altar exuded a holy light like a delicate spring, beckoning Han Sen. The light came towards him, but it did not come for him directly. It went towards the missing geno core he had used to enter.
The geno core floated before Han Sen, caressed by that holy light. It started to change, taking on the appearance of a butterfly just like the Firetail Butterfly King it originally was.
When the geno core was filled up by that light, it became alive. It became a butterfly, and it fluttered towards Han Sen's forehead, entering his Sea of Soul.
"Obtained God geno core Butterfly."
Han Sen checked out the Butterfly geno core in his Sea of Soul, and he noted how it looked like a Firetail Butterfly King, despite it not actually being one. It wasn't a fire element geno core. It was glazed with ruby, but it wasn't attached to the element of fire.
God Geno Core: Super Butterfly
Han Sen saw the level of the butterfly and immediately became super happy. It was a complete super geno core: his first ever.
God geno cores were practically self geno cores, but they weren't. Still, their abilities were quite similar.
God geno cores were like self geno cores in that, if they were destroyed, they'd be rebuilt inside the owner's Sea of Soul. The strength of a God geno core would be affected by the master's strength, too; much like self geno cores.
But there was something else that was different about them. If a God geno core was destroyed, the owner wouldn't be damaged, as would happen with a self geno cores.
The God geno core event was finished, and the main battleground was shut down. Everyone was forced to leave, made to return to the Geno Core Tablet they had entered from.
Elysian Moon had been dealt with, and Han Sen had obtained a God geno core. It was a surefire victory for him, but it made him think of something.
After he left the Geno Battleground, would he be returned to the Elysium Shelter's geno core storage? And if so, how would he escape from that place?
If Elysium knew he was the one who had killed Elysian Moon, they'd undoubtedly want to fight him. And it was likely Gu Qingcheng would kill him.
"It'd be great if I could end up elsewhere." Han Sen sighed. He knew it'd be impossible, and some way or another, he was going to have to face Elysium and Gu Qingcheng. If he didn't get through it, he'd die.
Chapter 1487: Back to Elysium
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhou Donglai really was waiting for him, right outside the Geno Core Tablet. He was waiting for Elysian Moon to come out.
He had realized that she had tricked him, and so he wanted to grab hold of her and ask her questions whenever she decided to emerge. But then, all of a sudden, the tablet began to shine.
It wasn't Elysian Moon that appeared. Instead, it was a number of strong spirits and creatures. Zhuo Donglai's face changed, and he immediately turned around and tried to flee.
The creatures took off after him. As they were following, they shouted out, "Are you Zhuo Donglai?"
"Did that b*tch Elysian Moon call on all those foul beings to kill me?! D*mn it!" Zhuo Donglai was both scared and angry. He thought Elysian Moon had sent them to dispose of him, so he just kept on running, refusing to respond.
"Why are you running?! I asked if you are Zhuo Donglai!" one of the spirits behind shouted again.
"I am not Zhuo Donglai! You fellows made a mistake," Zhuo Donglai shouted in response, not slowing down his feet the slightest. He was so old, he did not care about his name or reputation anymore. At that age, he only cared about survival.
"How can you not be Zhuo Donglai? You look just like the description Sky Sword gave us. You must be him!" The spirit on his heels did not believe Zhuo Donglai's dismissal, and kept pursuing him.
"Sky B*tch! The spirit must be referring to Elysian Moon. I hope she knows how cheap she is," he thought to himself. Then, still at top speed, shouted, "I really am not Zhuo Donglai! And I don't know Sky Sword; neither her brother Earth Sword! You guys must be mistaken, I swear!"
"I know I'm not wrong. You have to be the one. Sky Sword told us to look for someone who was old, ugly, and had the beard of a goat. I don't see anyone else out here that looks like that," the spirit said.
"F*ck you! You're the old and ugly one. I'm what you'd call vintage." Zhuo Donglai was extremely angry at hearing the description.
When Zhuo Donglai looked at the horde closing in, he thought it was all over. As the group spread out behind him, a few more came forward to his front and sides. He was entirely surrounded.
"It looks like I, Zhuo Donglai, will meet my end here. It's a shame there was nothing I could do to kill that b*tch." Zhuo Donglai accepted his fate, knowing he could no longer run. He went on to say, "Come on! If you want to kill me, I'll still take you all down one by one. You'll pay for this."
The spirits and creatures looked at him like he was a strange madman. The spirit that had been calling after him in the pursuit then said, "Are you insane? Who said we were going to kill you? Sky Sword said that if we saw you, we should help take you back to the teleporter. What nonsense are you going on about?"
Zhuo Donglai was shocked. He thought he had slipped into a strange dream, and he said, "Um, who is this Sky B*stard? And why would they want you to escort me?"
"Isn't he your friend? He said you were his friend. That's why we wanted to help you. Are you sure you're Zhuo Donglai?" All the spirits looked at the funny man in confusion.
Zhuo Donglai then waved his hand and said, "I am! But I don't know who this Sky B*stard is. Hmm, let me think..."
Zhuo Donglai retreated into his mind. "Who would be retarded enough to call themselves Sky Sword? I don't know who that is. Whatever, I'll admit who I am first. That'll help me stay alive, at least."
"Oh, yeah! Sky Sword said his real name is Han Sen," the spirit added.
Zhuo Donglai opened his eyes wide and said, "You guys have been talking about Han Sen?"
Again, Zhuo Donglai thought he was dreaming. Guarded by the spirits and creatures, he was escorted back to the teleporter. Then, he was able to return to his garbage shelter.
"Maybe I'm getting too old. I didn't expect the young ones to be able to befriend or affect the attitude of spirits and creatures in such a way. It looks like humans might find their place in the Fourth God's Sanctuary soon, after all." Zhuo Donglai thought it was amazing.
Han Sen said goodbye to Six Paths and the other spirits, then returned to his own teleporter, as that would be the only way he could leave.
He investigated the Butterfly geno core as he went. If he was getting into a fight, that'd be his biggest support, for sure.
Butterfly geno core wasn't associated with the fire element. After the holy light he had witnessed in the main battleground, the missing part was fixed and something changed.
The Butterfly geno core was like a ruby, but there was a blue fire symbol etched onto it. It looked rather beautiful, and Han Sen thought it to be one of the prettiest geno cores he had ever seen.
The abilities of this geno core were very obvious to see, though. He wouldn't have to spend much time researching it to find out what they were.
The Butterfly geno core could land on Han Sen and grow a pair of butterfly wings for him. It was different than a flying beast soul. The butterfly wings could fly, yes, but they could also provide him a bounty of additional power. It would give him the strength of a super creature.
"It's no wonder it's a God geno core. It's incredibly strong." After Han Sen tried the Butterfly geno core, he found himself quite surprised.
The Butterfly geno core meant he could make battle with super class enemies. His strength and speed wouldn't be too far behind, whatever the case.
"Maybe I really can escape from Elysium Shelter with this thing." Han Sen mulled it over.
Han Sen reached the teleporter and compiled all his ideas on how to proceed. He stepped onto the plate.
The teleporter was activated, and the dimension before him twisted. A second later, he was back in Elysium Shelter's geno core storage.
Han Sen immediately saw a lot of the Elysium there before him. Most were there, actually.
Gu Qingcheng was standing two meters away from Han Sen, eyes staring right at him.
"Where is the holy child? Do you remember what I told you? If she lives, you live. If she dies, you die. Don't dare tell me she didn't make it." Gu Qingcheng peered at Han Sen coldly.
Han Sen looked at all the Elysium around. His browse stopped on Gu Qingcheng's face. He summoned the red Elysium Umbrella, opened it, and showed them the picture of the green-clothed woman.
"Are you telling me this is the holy child?" Han Sen said coldly.
"Why would she be inside the umbrella?" All the Elysium were in shock, as was Gu Qingcheng. She stepped forward to grab the umbrella.
"Don't move! One step further and I will destroy the umbrella and your hold child within!" Han Sen shouted menacingly.
"How dare you!" exclaimed many of the Elysium. The power of their shouts was enough to level a city.
