One for him, one for Hu Niu, one for Ling Dong Xing, one for Liu Yu Tong, one for Can Ye… these five were the most important. As for Guang Yuan, Zhu Wu Jiu, and Li Si Chan, their martial arts talents weren’t outsanding, giving it to them was somewhat of a waste?
Whatever, one could only take one Heavenly Luck Stone anyways, anymore would be useless—so whom else would he give it to? Using it on one’s own people would be the best use of everything.
That was decided.
In a short while, he already made up his mind. As for how the remaining one would be used, that could be discussed in the future; perhaps he’d take it out for auction and make a great profit.
After he left the mountain valley, he saw Zhu Xuan Er looking at him with a complicated and shocked gaze. Thinking about it, his reminder was what saved her life, but his contention with her for the Crimson Red Chilling Ice Grass must’ve made her have mixed feelings.
Ling Han was only at the fifth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier before, and now he astonishingly advanced into the seventh layer—this progression was too scary.
“You!” Ding Yuan Xin jumped out, filled with murderous intent.
Ling Han laughed and said, “Just saved your life, now you’re returning kindness with hatred?”
Ding Yuan Xin was startled as his gaze swept by—many people in the surrounding were looking at him with an unfriendly look. He knew that he angered the crowd, so he snorted at once, took a few steps back, and said, “I’ll let you go this time, but the next time we meet, I’ll definitely have your head.”
Ling Han simply laughed. The next time they met, he would already have broken through to the Spiritual Pedestal Tier and it would be uncertain who would be the prey and who would be the predator.
The battle in the sky was more and more disadvantageous to the humans. The demonic ape was too strong, and unlike the other beasts inside the forest, its intelligence wasn’t effected. Although it certainly was bloodthirsty and bellicose.
Its destructive power increased while demerits were avoided… it was natural that its battle prowess improved.
“Retreat! Everyone retreat!” a Flower Blossom Tier elite shouted loudly. They were going to swallow the defeat in this battle. The plan now was to first retreat, then gather more elites.
This time, even Spiritual Infant Tier elites would be alerted.
Ling Han didn’t care, since the Heavenly Luck Stones were already in his hands. Retreat? Then so be it, he was going to guard the Crimson Red Chilling Ice Grass—after he reached the ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, he would use the Black Tower’s power boost to take away the spirit medicine. This way, he’d be able to avoid waisting the chance to improve his physique as well.
“Hold it!” With a bellow, a figure arrived in a flash high up in the air, emitting a shocking presence of holding heaven and hell in awe. Flashes of vein-like lines blossomed around him like a bed of celestial flowers—an astounding sight.
At the start, Ling Han thought it was Yao Hui Yue, since only such a domineering youngster could unleash such a strong presence. However, as he focused his gaze, he could indistinctly see that this was a mature man in the thirties filled with a natural and forceful presence, like a natural born monarch.
Ling Han’s mouth slowly dropped, revealing an astounded expression—this man was…!

Chapter 412: Rain Emperor Reappears
Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Kurisu
“Fist Emperor!”
Below, everyone cried out. That was the new housemaster of the Blood Light House, the mysterious Flower Blossom Tier elite that called himself Fist Emperor. No one knew where he came from, and yet he defeated the original Blood Light House master with his extremely domineering fist techniques, becoming a leader of one of the four large forces.
“Stand with me and kill this slaughterer!” Fist Emperor made his move, brazenly unleashing attacks towards the demonic ape.
“Hmph, overestimating your own abilities!” A Flower Blossom Tier warrior instantly snorted.
Although this Fist Emperor was certainly kickass, he was actually only at the first layer of the Flower Blossom Tier.
How great of a difference was between the first layer and the ninth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier? Moreover, the demonic ape was a king amongst beasts, and the higher the tier, the stronger a king. The demonic ape’s battle prowess was at least seven stars higher than a normal Flower Blossom Tier warrior’s—for what other reason could three warriors at the ninth layer and five at the eighth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier fail to give it a run for its money?
Besides, this demonic ape’s defensive power was astounding; with so many people joining hands, not even a single hair was sliced off it. It seemed completely hopeless.
So be it if he were at the ninth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, but acting so loftily at the first layer of the Flower Blossom Tier… wasn’t that just a joke?
The demonic ape was obviously unafraid, waving its claws towards Fist Emperor.
Hong!
The fist and the claw clashed, and the martial intent collided fiercely. Two balls of light burst forth and formed a great explosion, shooting in all directions. Peng, peng, peng, peng, countless people in the surroundings were thrown off their feet; those with weaker strength even hacked blood repeatedly, while the others were with disheveled hair, appearing very disorderly.
Those Flower Blossom Tier elites revealed expressions of disbelief, each of them was shocked to the extreme.
“Fist Ray!”
“How’s it possible!?”
In the sky, the demonic ape and Fist Emperor stood in the air, separated by a thousand feet. Blood was at the corner of Fist Emperor’s mouth and traces of blood were all over his body, but the demonic ape’s claws also dripped with fresh blood. It finally sustained an injury in this battle.
Of course, Fist Emperor’s was injured more in comparison, but being able to injure the demonic ape greatly increased the morale of the masses.
It turned out that the demonic ape wasn’t invincible.
“Rain Emperor!” Ling Han muttered—this awe-inspiring Fist Emperor was Rain Emperor!
As expected of the strongest ruler since the establishment of the Rain Country, he certainly was extremely domineering. Moreover, circles of light rippled around his fist as if tangible; that was precisely fist ray condensed by Fist Qi, but its destructive power was countless times greater.
This wasn’t simply an accumulation, but a refinement on the way of the fist.
Rain Emperor was past sixty, and he originally looked around fifty. Now, advancing into the Flower Blossom Tier, he immediately gained two hundred more years of life. In theory, he was equivalent to a normal twenty-year-old, and all the functions of the body were greatly revitalized, such that even his complexion became younger.
In a few more years, would Rain Emperor become a handsome man in the twenties?
It was very much possible.
As these thoughts flashed across Ling Han’s mind, Rain Emperor already executed the Son of Heaven Fist Technique, battling fiercely with the demonic ape.
Rain Emperor had abdicated as a ruler and was not inside the Rain Country, so he couldn’t possibly use the power of the nation. However, he advanced into the Flower Blossom Tier and broke away from the confinements of mortals, connecting his body with heaven and earth. Each fist that shot out had the blessing of heaven and earth, while Son of Heaven Fist Technique was as fierce and domineering as ever.
Genius, a true genius!
Ling Han nodded. The Son of Heaven Fist Technique was only a Black Grade or Earth Grade technique in the hands of Qi Yong Ye and the others, but in the hands of Rain Emperor, it was a Heaven Grade technique, even a god tier technique; this was a fist technique he created, and as long as he forged ahead vigorously on the path of the fist, his Son of Heaven Fist Technique would continue to improve and keep up with his tier.
Given the time, Rain Emperor
really could be crowned the two words “Fist Emperor,” living up to the name.
With Rain Emperor taking the front, the courage of the other Flower Blossom Tiers naturally increased greatly as they stepped forward to attack. The certainly didn’t dare to fight the demonic ape head-on, but to restrain it from the sides was more than enough.
Flower Blossom Tier elites were Flower Blossom Tier elites after all, their strength couldn’t be fabricated.
Things took a turn on the field. Before, the demonic ape had the absolute advantage, but now, both parties were tied. Rain Emperor’s dominance had to be acknowledged as he turned the battle around singlehandedly.
Even though this was all because of Rain Emperor, Rain Emperor was only at the first layer of the Flower Blossom Tier. Fist Ray certainly was all-conquering, and Son of Heaven Fist Technique increased explosively in power as his tier increased, but his tier being low was ultimately a great weakness.
Rain Emperor continued to be injured by the demonic ape, and although he still fought hard, anyone could see that Rain Emperor couldn’t endure for much longer. Once Rain Emperor was a defeated, the situation would return to as it was before.
In that moment, everyone’s battle intent dropped drastically, beginning to consider retreat.
“Hahahaha, did I come late?” With a long laughter, another extremely domineering figure appeared, covered with intertwining sword lights and emitting a overbearing presence.
The World’s Second Sword, Yao Hui Yue!
He was also at the first layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, and at the same time a king amongst martial artists who formed at least nine flashes of Sword Qi. Moreover, he was a bright disciple of Heaven’s Sword Sect—who knew what surprising trump cards he had.
“Come fight!”
Qiang , Yao Hui Yue’s unsheathed his sword and charged unhesitatingly at the demonic ape. With a sword strike, he yelled, “Get out of my way, this is my opponent!”
This one was more arrogant than the one before; he actually wanted to fight the demonic ape alone!
If he were at the ninth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, then there was naturally hope… If Rain Emperor reached the ninth layer, he would also have the right to fight the demonic ape, but the problem was that the difference was too great for both their tiers—neither one was the demonic ape’s opponent as the demonic ape was infinitely close to the Spiritual Infant Tier.
The demonic ape was infuriated. In its eyes, these humans were simply sheep, with at most a few wolves that could cause it some trouble. But wanting to defeat it?
Not in a million years.
It let out a great roar as its body actually cracked!
What, did it kill itself from losing its mind to anger?
Everyone very much hoped that this vicious creature would die this way, but that was obviously not realistic. Under their astounded gazes, the demonic ape started to crack open from the nape and all the way to the waist; however, no blood oozed out, and instead two demonic apes popped out!
No, no, no, not two entire demonic apes, only the upper half of the body.
Three heads and six arms!
The three demonic apes roared angrily at the same time. The sound waves were like the tide, turning into massive waves that charged at everyone.
The Flower Blossom Tier elites hurriedly went up to neutralize it; otherwise, if this tidal sound wave struck, all the Spiritual Pedestal Tier warriors would explode from the shock.
Peng, peng, peng, peng, the sound waves were dissolved by the Flower Blossom Tier elites jointly while Yao Hui Yue raised his sword and charged at the demonic ape with an imposing manner.
The demonic ape waved its arms, and with a peng , Yao Hui Yue was sent flying. The demonic ape with three heads and six arms was truly like a Spiritual Infant Tier elite, displaying its unparalleled position.

‘Mystical Power!’ Ling Han said inwardly; this was the Golden Blood Demonic Ape’s innate Mystical Power.
It was very strong; three heads and six arms—with each upper body equivalent to a demonic ape, its battle prowess was earthshaking. One demonic ape could firmly suppress everyone, and now with two more… who could resist it?
“Haha, interesting! Interesting!” Yao Hui Yue’s battle intent was like fire as he raised his sword and attacked back. His expression was filled with high-spirited battle intent; he seemed to be extremely excited. “You have the right to make me attack seriously.”
His expression turned stern as Mysterious Three Thousand was activated; one sword light looked as if it could shine over the five regions.
Rain Emperor also returned to the fray, throwing domineering punches continuously with earthshaking momentum.
With these two taking the front, the others stepped up one after another.
Being able to cultivate to the Flower Blossom Tier, who would be a fool? The demonic ape’s three head and six arms ability might be astounding, but it couldn’t possibly be activated endlessly; furthermore, the ape would become weakened after unleashing an ultimate move like this.
When the time came, they’d take the demonic ape’s head!
For Flower Blossom Tier elites, the Heavenly Luck Stone was of no use at all, but the demonic ape was different in that it was king tier and the peak stage of the Flower Blossom Tier; its flesh was definitely very tonic.
The demonic ape roared and waved its six arms. Its battle prowess was extremely frightening as it completely suppressed the crowd, but Yao Hui Yue kept firing out the Mysterious Three Thousand, posing a great threat to the demonic ape, while Rain Emperor who formed Fist Ray also had shocking destructive power.
The two were riddled with wounds and kept hacking out blood, but they still stabilized the situation.
Now the key was whether Yao Hui Yue and Rain Emperor could endure longer, or the demonic ape’s Mystical Power could be maintained longer. This would decide which side the victory would belong to.
It was really hard to predict.
No one knew how much longer the demonic ape’s Mystical Power would remain active, but everyone could see Yao Hui Yue and Rain Emperor’s injuries. Those were definitely not light injuries; being scratched by the demonic ape once, bones would be plain to see and blood splatter across the sky—bleeding alone was a great problem.
Ling Han watched and muttered inwardly, ‘These people are so desperate… if they really defeat the demonic ape and run into cave to see that the Heavenly Luck Stones are gone, will they go crazy? Hmm, this demonic ape might be wild and violent but it’s not stupid, could this be due to the Heavenly Luck Stone suppressing the chaos intent?
‘It’s rumored that Heavenly Luck Stone is birthed by the fate of heaven and earth and is a manifestation of heaven and earth’s will. It’s not out of question for it to be able to resist Demonic Qi.
‘Since I’ve taken away the Heavenly Luck Stone, this demonic ape will definitely be mentally aberrated from the Demonic Qi. When the time comes, it’ll just be another muddleheaded vicious creature that knows only slaughter.’
The great battle was still going on. Yao Hui Yue and Rain Emperor were both strong-willed and battle maniacs; fighting with a demonic ape that was a king amongst beasts would be of immense benefit in the future on their paths in martial arts.
Therefore, they would rather fight desperately and be heavily injured and still continue the fight, believing that the gains would definitely be greater.
However, the demonic ape quit. It wasn’t stupid; fighting desperately here had no benefit. Retreat! It immediately turned around and shot towards the mountain valley, worming right into it.
Not playing with you guys anymore.
Rain Emperor and Yao Hui Yue exclaimed, following it and entering the mountain cave. Seeing this, the other Flower Blossom Tier warriors naturally didn’t want to lag behind; chasing and killing the demonic ap
e was secondary, the key was that the Heavenly Luck Stone was inside.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Entering the cave, everyone naturally couldn’t see the combat situation and dared not enter to watch, as it would really kill them. They could only hear thunder-like sounds of bombardment, moving the earth and shaking the mountain as if the world was about to collapse.
At least half an hour passed. The entire mountain was sent flying and crashed five thousand feet away with a peng . Instantly, the strong impact shoveled up dirt as the ground from afar arched over two feet high and charged towards the mountain valley.
For Spiritual Pedestal Tier and Spiritual Ocean Tier warriors, this impact was trifling. They only looked at it once and turned their gaze towards the inside of the mountain valley again.
The entire mountain was sent flying, so it naturally left behind only a desolate land; however, the Flower Blossom Tier elites rose into the air one after another as if running for their lives.
The mountain disappeared and left a deep, massive pit. This pit was like a river filled with dense and indiffusible black mist that kept evolving into all sorts of shapes such as beasts, humans, and weapons.
It was precisely this black mist that made the Flower Blossom Tiers flee helter-skelter.
Demonic Qi!
Ling Han was astounded at such dense Demonic Qi—could a part of Asura Demon Emperor’s body be suppressed underneath? Or was it a massive black stone?
Facing this black Qi, even the demonic ape feared it instinctively, escaping swiftly and not wanting to contact it at all.
Who would’ve thougth that underneath the Heavenly luck Stone was such a piece of demonic land!
“Could this be the source of Dark Demon Forest’s Demonic Qi?”
“Such terrifying Demonic Qi, even from this far, it makes me have the urge to go mad.”
“Step back a bit more. If too much Demonic Qi enters the body, then one’s mind will be completely chaotic, turning into a puppet that knows only slaughter.”
Everyone stepped back one after another. Losing the mountain that suppressed it, the Demonic Qi gushed out uncontrollably as if it were going to completely cover the entire Dark Demon Forest.
