Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

  Similarly, when the beast shot lightning from its eyes, this would be counted as an art in case of a martial artist, but for beasts, it was used in passing.

  Thus, beasts would never back down when they encountered martial artists of the same tier, and at the level of kings, beasts were extremely terrifying as they could annihilate everything of the same cultivation.

  Even if Ling Han used the high level Black Grade art, Shadow Wind Movement Technique, he was still getting caught up step by step by the Nine-Eye Beast Wolf; a fierce electric arc shot swiftly from its eyes towards Ling Han.

  How fast was lightning?

  Ling Han had only enough time to parry with his sword, and with a zi , he felt his right hand go numb as the entire sword turned into a puddle of metalitc water; his purlicue was even split open, fresh blood gushing out.

  ‘Shit.’ He now had Rock Cliff Body, and his defensive abilities were superb, yet he was injured by this attack.

  A King level beast, and its cultivation was whole lot higher than his. He might’ve been a bit reckless in wanting to kill it? However, this beast was at the kings’ level, and could be used as a stepping stone to solidify his last cornerstone for breaking into the Spiritual Ocean Tier.

  ‘No matter what, I have to try. I have Black Tower anyways, I can still hide if I can’t beat it,’ Ling Han thought shamelessly, but he only had a slight chance; he would definitely not give up even if he would end up riddled with scars.

  He would never lose the spirit to adventure because of the Black Tower; it would only make him even more daring.

  Zi!

  The Nine-Eye Beast Wolf shot another electric arc over. Ling Han was too lazy to waste another sword, so he threw a punch whilst activating the Indestructible Heaven Scroll. A faint golden light flowed on his hand, and hong , the lightning arrived. Ling Han let out a smothered groan as his right fist was heavily injured again.

  ‘Shit, although I’m in the ninth layer of the Gushing Spring Tier, I have long since fused the nine spring eyes, and it’s a five elements origin nucleus—such power can definitely parallel a normal fourth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, even the fifth layer. But this large dog is only at the fifth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, so how come its attacks are so fierce?

  Were it not for my cultivation of Indestructible Heaven Scroll, maybe my whole arm would’ve exploded upon receiving one move!’ Ling Han thought to himself while activating Indestructible Heaven Scroll. His left hand very quickly returned to how it was before. Indestructible Heaven Scroll wasn’t so obvious in improving his defense, at least at the Rock Cliff Tier; the powerful part was on the recovery.

  However, it would be different upon advancing into the Diamond Tier. When that time came, his physique would be like an indestructible diamond, and his body would be almost undying.

  Zi!

  The Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf discharged its lightning again.

  “You done yet!” Ling Han stopped running and turned around. It was secluded enough here and he was disguised, so even if other people found out some small secrets, it wouldn’t matter.

  Demon Birth Sword was unleashed and went head-on with the electric arc.

  Pa , the electric arc hit and a bright field of light exploded, forming a dazzling white ball that could blind the human eye.

  Ling Han revealed a faint smile, Tenth Tier Spirit Tools were kickass as expected—even if it wasn’t fully resuscitated, the properties of it alone broke up the electric arc. It was expected; if it let the electric arc infiltrate his body, then Demon Birth Sword would be too useless.

  Weng, weng, on the sword’s body, two vein-like patterns lit up; this Spirit Tool was already recovering to a limited degree.

  The Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf immediately revealed vigilance in its eyes. It was a king amongst beats, being extremely sensitive to the presence of danger. However, it was quickly at ease, because the presence Demon Birth Sword gave off was dangerous but not powerful, making it fearless.

  “Ang!” This beast wolf immediately pounced, waving its right claw, which had ten vein-like patterns lit up at the same time.

  Weng, weng, weng, martial intent vibrated, forming a terrifying pressure.

  However, this was useless against Ling Han. A thread of Heaven Tier-level divine sense was enough for him to be immune to the majority of the pressure. He raised the sword and launched Four Seasons Sword Technique head-on against the beast wolf. Four types of concepts revolved together, instantly showing the changes of the four seasons and making people feel the lapse and transition of time.

  Pu!

  As the beast wolf’s claws came down, the sword light was instantly shattered. The claw sent Ling Han flying and the clothes on his left shoulder were torn open, leaving a deep wound. Blood instantly gushed out, and the beast wolf’s claw was also slit open, fresh blood gushing everywhere.

  Demon Birth Sword was a Tenth Tier Spirit Tool, after all. Even if it wasn’t resuscitated, its sharpness had not changed at all.

  “My beast wolf blood!” Ling Han cried out regretfully. A beast king’s was treasure from head to toe, especially its blood and bone marrow, which were greatly tonic and much stronger compared to hundred-year ginseng.

  Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf’s eyes instinctively revealed a threatened look. Those as strong as the Spiritual Ocean Tier had already attained wisdom, but they still maintained the bloodlust of beasts. It could understand Ling Han’s words, which extremely infuriated it.

  He actually cried out dearly for it… so he already took it as his food?

  The Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf couldn’t tolerate that a mere Gushing Spring Tier human dared to covet its body.

  Die!

  It pounced again, waving its claws towards Ling Han.

  Ling Han didn’t dare to receive it head on. He instead kept shifting his figure, activating the Indestructible Heaven Scroll to heal his wounds. One in the Spiritual Ocean Tier could manifest their martial intent, so if he was hit, the opponent’s martial intent would also enter through the wound, slowing down the recovery and even entering the consciousness, destroying the spirit.

  The Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf was a king, and its martial intent was even stronger. Ling Han immediately felt it extremely insufferable as if infinite vicious wolves were biting him.

  With the Indestructible Heaven Scroll already activated, the Nine-Eye Beast Wolf’s martial intent instantly melted immaculately as if a mantle of snow met boiling water.

  Ling Han couldn’t help but reveal a smile. This was because the Indestructible Heaven Scroll’s level was too high, and thus, once it was activated, it could wipe away Nine-Eye Beast Wolf’s martial intent; this was the suppression of a higher level.

  It certainly was a lost art that even he took ten millennia to learn, its power solid.

  “Puppy, obediently become my rations!” Ling Han laughed loudly and waved his sword as he moved, but without a few hits he was sent flying by the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf. He bled nonstop, but since the Demon Birth Sword was extremely sharp, the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf would also bleed even from a mere graze.

  Theoretically, the damage they sustained was completely on different levels, and Ling Han would definitely be the one to die of serious injuries as time went on. However, he had the Indestructible Heaven Scroll at hand, and his wounds could immediately heal. Furthermore, the Demon Birth Sword was a Tenth Tier weapon and had martial intent—even if it wasn’t resuscitated—so it could still threaten a Spiritual Ocean Tier beast.

  Thus, the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf would continue to bleed, although not by much; the longer the time, the more serious a damage would bleeding inflict.

  Ling Han aimed precisely for this.

  He waved the Demon Birth Sword as he took out a ginseng and, without any caution, just munched on it like a carrot.

  If someone were to see it, they’d definitely scold him for
squandering fortune.

  This was a hundred year old ginseng, how could he waste it like that?

  Ling Han didn’t care at all. For others, this was a hundred-year-old ginseng, but for him, it was truly no different from a carrot—there were plenty inside the Black Tower. Besides, it was a few days since he departed from the Fallen Moon Gorge, and these ginsengs were ten years older with even better effects.

  Gigseng was a great tonic, so he was alright with its support despite the profuse bleeding—or rather, he was at least a lot better off than the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf.

  As they fought, the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf obviously realized this, and instantly went berserk; its attacks became even fiercer, seeking to kill Ling Han in one hit.

  “Haha, although you are a king, I’m not too shabby, either!” Ling Han activated the Demon Birth Sword and seven flashes of sword qi flew across, showcasing that he was also a king—a king amongst humans.

  However, there was still a large tier’s difference between them after all. The Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf completely had the upper hand, and Ling Han could only parry its attacks.

  “Sigh, I’ve been smacked in the face!” Ling Han mocked himself, but no one would laugh at Ling Han for this, only admiring him greatly.

  The Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf was a king amongst beasts, and on top of a large tier’s advantage, it should’ve absolutely dominated him; the results were completely inconceivable.

  Ling Han knew his own limitations. It wasn’t that he was strong enough, but that he possessed the Indestructible Heaven Scroll, giving him the ability to tangle with it; otherwise, he would have already been annihilated by the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf. How could an art that needed ten millennia to comprehend not be strong?

  He also possessed the Demon Birth Sword, and a large amount of hundred-year-old ginsengs, which gave him enough confidence. Without either of these conditions met, perhaps he would be able to protect himself, but he would be incapable of harming the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf.

  He still hadn’t used the Mysterious Three Thousand, because he wasn’t certain if this attack could annihilate the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf. If this beast wolf suffered a great loss, it would definitely retreat, and with its speed… Ling Han couldn’t catch up.

  Thus, he definitely had to wait for the most opportune time to unleash the Mysterious Three Thousand.

  After a long battle, Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf finally revealed a hint of weariness, and viciousness flashed by its eyes as all of its hairs all stood up. Zi , its nine eyes shot out lightning at the same time.

  “It’s unleashing its ultimate move!” Ling Han immediately looked stern. Nine flashes of lightning struck at the same time from different directions, locking all of his escape routes. Moreover, he could at most block two flashes of lightning.

  This was an ultimate move unleashed by a Spiritual Ocean Tier Beast King, so how could it be easy to block?

  “Can’t block it, I can only dodge.” Waiting for the moment the lightning hit his body, Ling Han entered the Black Tower, and then immediately came out. Entering and exiting so fast that it was almost unperceivable, the lightning had already surged pass him.

  He smiled faintly; although he had an unfair advantage, he didn’t want to be electrified tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Besides, there was a great gap between his and the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf’s cultivations, fighting head-on was unfair to him.

  The Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf’s eyes showed its confusion; how did this human dodge its ultimate move? It should have been absolutely impossible. It accurately calculated Ling Han’s speed and ability to wield a sword, so it should never have happened.

  If it could open its mouth to speak, then it would definitely have already asked by now.

  “Little wolf dog, you definitely wouldn’t know, so just submit obediently without putting up a fight.” Ling Han laughed loudly—the Black Tower was his true trump card.

  The Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf’s hairs stood up again. Pa, pa, pa, pa, nine flashes of lightning struck violently again.

  Ling Han played the same old trick, entering and exiting the Tower, avoiding the beast wolf’s ultimate move easily. He revealed an exulted expression, as an ultimate move like this used frequently would be a heavy burden for the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf; the time when he could unleash the Mysterious Three Thousand to end the battle was also getting closer.

  However, as a king, the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf naturally wasn’t stupid. Seeing that its ultimate move was useless, it no longer used it. Instead, it continued to tangle with Ling Han. As the fight went on, its aggressive attitude weakened—not because its body couldn’t hand it, but because it lost patience.

  As a beast, it was violent, bloodthirsty, and proud, but at the same time, it lacked patience. Under a drawn out battle, it still couldn’t take down its prey and its injuries were also not light—it made it finally conceive the thought of retreating.

  Ling Han couldn’t help but frown. He could obviously tell that, so he had to clench his teeth and unleash his ultimate move, or else this beast king would really run away.

  The Mysterious Three Thousand!

  He kept waiting to unleash it after having accumulated enough power, so the ultimate move was unleashed as soon as he thought of it.

  Eight hundred sword lights fired out without reservation, yet didn’t turn into black-armored warriors like last time. Apparently, Ling Han needed to cross into the Spiritual Ocean Tier—such miraculous effect might’ve only been produced under Black Tower’s power boost, needing Ling Han to cross into the Spiritual Pedestal Tier to display that move’s power again.

  Even so, eight hundred sword lights were still extremely terrifying, covering the sky and the sun, with only five-colored sword lights shining down upon the world.

  The Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf revealed intense fear. This sword technique’s power was too strong, making even it feel anxiety, but at this moment, it could only receive it head on.

  Chapter 328: Analysis

  Sword light filled the whole sky!

  This ultimate move’s power far surpassed Ling Han’s tier—even a king like the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf didn’t dare to be careless. All of its hair stood up as a flashes of lightning shot out at the same time from its nine eyes, combining into one and forming a thick electric arc that fired towards Ling Han.

  To catch bandits, catch the ringleader; If Ling Han was annihilated, then this move’s power would naturally disperse on its own.

  The lightning was also Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf’s ultimate move.

  Xiu, xiu, xiu, sword lights decreased in size, greeting the lightning. Pa, pa, pa, the sword lights were annihilated one after another, but at the same time, the lightning shrunk at a rapid pace.

  Each sword light was equivalent to Ling Han’s full-strength attack, and although it wasn’t enough to battle Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf’s full-strength attack head on, there were still many sword lights. With each sword light striking it, the lightning finally became as thin as a spider’s thread, completely disappearing at last.

  At this time, only three hundred sword lights remained.

  Hong!

  The Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf had already fired its ultimate move, so it couldn’t possibly follow up with another one. It could only use its claws to guard its head. Three hundred sword lights struck, and the fierce clashes instantly produced flashes of blinding light.

  Ling Han slumped onto the ground. He truly gave it his all with the strike just now, directly drawing out all the Origin Power inside his body. If this couldn’t kill the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf, then he could only hide inside the Black Tower, wait for his Origin Power to recover, and then find this beast king again.

  Fortunately, the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf lay on the ground with fresh blood gushing out continuously; its chest was slightly moving up and down, signaling that it was still alive.

  Kickass—it received the Mysterious Three Thousand head on and was only hea
vily injured.

  Ling Han was deeply moved, but an intense fear arose in him toward the the Heaven’s Sword Sect. Just what sort of force was it for it to possess such a terrifying ultimate move… too shocking. Even with his Heaven Tier experience, it was still very hard to use this sword art. Moreover, this sword art’s power was linked to Sword Qi, and not everyone could cultivate it to such a terrifying degree.

  Previously, when Ling Han pushed out seven hundred sword lights, he already guessed that the Mysterious Three Thousand’s extreme should be at Sword Qi’s consummation. Theoretically, a martial artist could cultivate to form ten flashes of Sword Qi, but there were still geniuses that cultivated eleven or twelve flashes. So, if one flash of Sword Qi could evolve into one hundred sword lights, then theoretically, one could cultivate twenty-nine flashes of Sword Qi, making up the three thousand.

  The first form was Sword Qi, so Sword Ray should initiate the second form.

  Sword Ray was Sword Qi extrapolating in this way, the third form Breaking Limits could only be used when one grasped sword heart.

  The third form corresponded to three different stages in way of the sword.

  That the Heaven’s Sword Sect could stand erect for ten millennia without collapsing was expectedly not without reason.

  “Senior Brother Jian Cheng, the battle ahead suddenly stopped. Could they have battled it out?” A voice drifted over from afar.

  “Hehe, battling so fiercely, we must go see just who it is!” Another voice sounded.

  ‘Sh!t.’ Ling Han hurriedly collected his thoughts and struggled to climb up. He only expended all his Origin Power, his physical stamina was still preserved. He walked staggeringly to the side of the Nine-Eyed Beast Wolf, picked it up, and with a thought, xiu , he entered the Black Tower.

  In an instant later, two figures arrived immediately at the same time.

  It was two youngsters, only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, both looking handsome, confident, and out of this world. As for their cultivation, one was at the seventh layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, and the other was shockingly at the ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier.
