Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

“Gagaga, thanks everyone!” A coarse voice sounded, followed by a grating sound. A bronze casket slid over as if it had feet.
“The Thousand Corpse Sect!” someone immediately shouted and everyone instantly got goosebumps. This sect was definitely detested by all and everyone called for their beating. They were too shameless and immoral, stealing the corpses of elites to refine them into corpse soldiers—did they still have any humanity?
Elder Nine Clouds was also amongst the crowd, showing up to do nothing because once he attacked with full strength, he couldn’t conceal his Corpse Qi at all. Moreover, the people of the Thousand Corpse Sect were strong only with corpse soldiers; their own battle prowess was actualy quite normal.
He couldn’t help but be irritated; which idiot was this within the sect, actually appearing in front of the world with such poise—wouldn’t this bring hatred to the sect?
Ling Han’s expression changed slightly as he recognized this bronze casket.
Three Lives Corpse Casket, Rong Huan Xuan!
No, now it wasn’t the true Rong Huan Xuan, but Asura Demon Emperor.
If it were the true Rong Huan Xuan, he should desire for the Heavenly Luck Stone and avoid Demonic Qi like plague. But now, with Asura Demon Emperor controlling his flesh, Rong Huan Xuan was definitely charging at the Demonic Qi—going for the black stone.
For others, Demonic Qi was poison that mustn’t be contacted. However, for Asura Demon Emperor, that was a greatly tonic thing. If there truly were a massive black stone underneath that was obtained by Asura Demon Emperor, what sort of calamity would be caused?
Ling Han didn’t hesitate for a single second. He leapt right out, unleashed the Demon Birth Sword, and struck at Three Lives Corpse Casket.
Both were tent tier Spirit Tools, so it really couldn’t be confronted without using the Demon Birth Sword.
Hong , Sword Qi landed and Three Lives Corpse Casket was forced to stop as the Sword Qi shocked it, its rays blinding.
“You’re actually still not dead!” Peng , the lid of the casket opened and Rong Huan Xuan’s figure appeared. His gaze quickly caught Ling Han, emitting a frightening chill, “This time, this lord will make you disappear completely!”

Great, now it was even livelier with all sorts of demons and beasts showing up.
“Dreg of Thousand Corpse Sect, how dare you to come here, you court death!” A Flower Blossom Tier elite attacked, swatting at Rong Huan Xuan.
Everyone had the right to execute a disciple of such an evil sect no matter how high or low; even if Rong Huan Xuan had the title of an alchemist, it would be the same. It could be inferred just how despised and resented the Thousand Corpse Sect was. Even after a millennium, the sight of this sect still gave people the urge to kill.
“Gagaga, want to kill this lord? You’re still ten millennia too early!” Rong Huan Xuan laughed loudly, but he only paid lip service as he immediately wormed into Three Lives Corpse Casket.
His main body was certainly undying but his flesh was too fragile, only at the ninth layer of the Gushing Spring Tier; he couldn’t possibly resist a Flower Blossom Tier warrior’s attacks.
Weng! Weng! Weng!
The attacks landed on the Three Lives Corpse Casket, and instantly, this Spirit Tool was activated. Vein-like lines shined as if the entire casket was coming to life. Shua , a pillar of light surged out and turned into a skeleton soldier with a pike in hand, thrusting towards the Flower Blossom Tier elite.
Pu , with a spear thrust, the Flower Blossom Tier’s left shoulder was penetrated!
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.
That was a Flower Blossom Tier warrior, but he couldn’t even block an attack. If he hadn’t evaded in time, his heart might’ve been shocked. It was too terrifying… what sort of treasure was that, being able to suppress even Flower Blossom Tier opponents?
However, some people looked towards Ling Han with strange gazes, because Ling Han also struck it once earlier—why did nothing happen at all?
The sword in the youngster’s hand… could it actually be a high tier Spirit Tool?
Ling Han also gasped in surprise inwardly. Both were tenth tier Spirit Tools, but Three Lives Corpse Casket was too kickass. Hiding inside the casket, one would not only have invincible defense, but also have thorns attached to oneself—whoever hit it would be out of luck.
More importantly, Three Lives Corpse Casket could also move on its own like a carriage, it was very convenient.
However, If Ling Han was made to hide in a casket… he definitely wouldn’t do it.
“Three Lives Corpse Casket! That’s Three Lives Corpse Casket!” Elder Nine Clouds’ eyes brightened up. Thousand Corpse Sect had three priceless treasures, which were the Demonic Noise Saber, the Pond of the Underworld, and… the Three Lives Corpse Casket!
However, the Pond of the Underworld wasn’t a Spirit Tool, but an inherited land of Thousand Corpse Sect. It was also a holy place for cultivation—cultivating inside for a year could equal one year on the outside. But its location was unknown since several millennia ago.
Today, the Demonic Noise Saber was grasped by the current sect master. Followed by the appearance of the Three Lives Corpse Casket, it meant two out of three prized treasure appeared—was appearance of the Pond of the Underworld still something distant?
Was the Thousand Corpse Sect going to prosper?
Elder Nine Clouds was mad with excitement. If he could obtain the Spirit Tool that could accommodate living things from Ling Han, the Thousand Corpse Sect could enter its golden age, even surpassing the dynasty several millennia ago.
Rong Hua Xuan laughed eerily and said, “This lord won’t play with you guys anymore. Once this lord obtains the Primal Chaos Source Stone and refines it as this lord’s body, the entire world will tremble under this lord’s clutches!”
Primal Chaos Source Stone? Was it the black stone?
The question flashed across Ling Han’s mind as he attacked unhesitatingly once again. He definitely wouldn’t allow Asura Demon Emperor to obtain the black stone. The Thousand Corpse Sect could still be suppressed no matter how strong they were, but Asura Demon Emperor? That was a god spirit, and once his battle prowess fully recovered, the vast lands would face calamity.
“Insolent boy, when this lord’s cultivation is recovered, this lord will kill you first!” Rong Huan Xuan yelled angrily, steering the Three Lives Corpse Casket and charging into the Demonic Qi.
No one dared to stop him as the misfortune of the Flower Blossom Tier earlier was still in front of them and no one wanted to share the same fate.
Ling Han chased swiftly after, and Hu Niu naturally charged into the Demonic Qi as well. The two instantly disappeared from everyone’s sight. The Demonic Qi was not only dense enough to block vision, but also had a strong effect of cutting off divine sense; consequently, even Flower Blossom Tiers immediately lost the trace of the three people.
At this moment, everyone only thought of two words: damned idiot!
That was Demonic Qi; couldn’t it be seen that even Flower Blossom Tier elites weren’t willing to be contaminated? What were a few small Spiritual Ocean Tier and Gushing Spring Tier warriors trying to do by running into it?
The Flower Blossom Tiers carried out a fierce battle again, unleashing their attacks at the demonic ape—these were separate matters.

“Boy, don’t think that this lord will fear you just because your tier is higher than this lord’s!” Rong Huan Xuan’s voice came from within the casket. He was only at the ninth layer of the Gushing Spring Tier and couldn’t possibly rival Ling Han. “When this lord refines some primal chaos Demonic Qi and increases in cultivation, retrieving the Primal Chaos Source Rock, your life will be taken as blood sacrifice for this lord’s rebirth!”
“Oh, that Primal Chaos Source Rock or whatever can make y
ou stronger?” Ling Han said indifferently.
Rong Huan Xuan snorted and said,” This lord transformed from a sliver of the world’s primal chaos Demonic Qi and suffered for not having flesh, which was why this lord was suppressed for several millennia and split into nine parts. However, Primal Chaos Source Rock and this lord are of the same source as one of the world’s toughest matter. This lord only has to refine it into a body—who in the world would be able to rival this lord then? Haha, when the time comes, this lord’s flesh will be invincible, equipped with overwhelming demonic psychic powers! All will become this lord’s slaves!”
This old monster was so honest all of a sudden, even revealing his trump card. Thinking again, he actually didn’t reveal any secrets, saying only where he came from but not how to annihilate him.
No wonder that several millennia ago, his body could only be dismembered then suppressed; he wasn’t a living thing in the true sense, but rather a manifestation of Demonic Qi.
Rong Huan Xuan didn’t simply boast, as he was in the process of absorbing the Demonic Qi. Weng, weng, weng, the presence he emitted was strengthening; although it was still at the Gushing Spring Tier, it could clearly be sensed that his tier was improving extremely quickly.
Ling Han sighed… why did he always encountered monsters?
Ideas flashed across his mind; with the protection of the Three Lives Corpse Casket, he definitely wouldn’t be able to stop Rong Huan Xuan’s tier increase. However, where did the Demonic Qi in this land come from? There was definitely a black stone that released the Demonic Qi, but it was suppressed by the large mountain and could only spread through the ground into the forest. Now, it was as if it turned into an ocean.
If he retrieved the black stone, or the Primal Chaos Source Rock in Rong Huan Xuan’s words, then everything could be taken care of.
Ling Han decided on spot and pulled on Hu Niu to leave, beginning to search for the land where the Demonic Qi originated.
He asked Small Tower about Primal Chaos Source Rock and Demonic Qi. Small Tower unexpectedly knew the relationship between the two, telling him several secrets—if Asura Demon Emperor really absorbed the Primal Chaos Source Rock, then he at least wouldn’t be killed on those vast lands as Primal Chaos Source Rock was too hard.
However, this didn’t seem to make a difference. Asura Demon Emperor was originally a ball of Demonic Qi, but couldn’t he still cause disasters for millennia even after being split into nine parts?
Demonic Qi was like the vast ocean. Ling Han’s divine sense couldn’t be spread out and black spots already began to appear on his body. The divine sense was the same, no longer clear as water, but instead filled with violent impulses.
In contrast, Hu Niu was perfectly fine, but an indistinct light appeared in her dantian, as if a vein-like pattern had been lit up.
The little girl was much more freakish than he was.
He flashed into the Black Tower and immediately summoned the power of the Black Tower to dispel the Demonic Qi in his body. His skin returned quickly to normal at a visible speed and his divine sense opened up, clear and immaculate.
Ling Han exited the Black Tower again. With the experience of resisting the black stone, he could survive for several minutes even within such dense Demonic Qi.
“Niu Niu, lets’ race to see who can find a rock like this.” Ling Han smiled at Hu NIu as he dangled a small black stone in his hand.
“Okay!” Hu Niu immediately said in a crisp voice, appearing very excited as she shot out. “If Niu wins, Niu wants to eat three roasted chicken drumsticks!”

Chapter 415: Merging of the Demonic Body

Ling Han and Hu Niu went on a great search, but this large area was covered by Demonic Qi and obstructed eyesight and divine sense, largely affecting their scouting ability. Even Hu Niu was no exception.
For three consecutive days, they obtained no results. This was the area of a mountain—even if it wasn’t large, it wouldn’t be small, either.
Rong Huan Xuan’s strength was increasing rapidly.
He obtained the inheritance of the Thousand Corpse Sect and could only cultivate Corpse Qi, but an old monster entered his body, granting him the ability to cultivate Demonic Qi. Under the endless devouring, it was almost one day for one layer!
Rong Huan Xuan broke through to the Spiritual Ocean Tier after two days, and today he was already at the second layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier—a shocking progress.
At this rate, another seven days and he would reach the ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, and then two more days and he would be at the Spiritual Pedestal Tier. Once he entered the Spiritual Pedestal Tier, with the mystic arts Asura Demon Emperor grasped on top of Three Lives Corpse Casket, he would possess suficient confidence to suppress Ling Han
And after another ten days, twenty days, and thirty days… what cultivation would Rong Huan Xuan reach?
It just so happened that under the Three Lives Corpse Casket’s protection, Rong Huan Xuan was also as if he’d possessed the Black Tower; no one could harm him… at least, Ling Han currently couldn’t.
He had to find the black stone fast!
While Rong Huan Xuan was only absorbing the drifting Demonic Qi, he still could advance so shockingly fast—then if he truly refined the black stone as his body, just how strong would he be?
Ling Han and Hu Niu continued to search, and as each day passed, they became more and more pressured.
Ling Han had already stopped caring about the battle outside. If the demonic ape didn’t run, it would definitely be annihilated; after all, the human elites rushed over continuously—so what if the demonic ape was a beast king?
On the eleventh day, Rong Huan Xuan broke through to the Spiritual Pedestal Tier; such speed would make anyone envious.
“Gagaga, this lord has come to find you!” Rong Huan Xuan’s grim laughter sounded within the Demonic Qi.
So fast!
He had no need to increase his tier to the height of the Flower Blossom Tier or the Spiritual Infant Tier, because he would soon abandon this body—no living creature’s flesh was truly suitable carrier for his soul. Only the Primal Chaos Source Rock was the best.
Therefore, he only needed enough strength to suppress Ling Han, taking down that brat and obtaining the mysterious Spirit Tool which kept even him preoccupied.
Inside the Demonic Qi, his battle prowess received a surprising amplification, so the Spiritual Pedestal Tier was definitely enough!
On the other hand, he was truly scared that Ling Han would find the Primal Chaos Source Rock, ruining his opportunity.
Ling Han bellowed, notifying Hu Niu to meet up with him in case she encountered Rong Huan Xuan and suffered a loss.
On this land Demonic Qi pervaded, his and Hu Niu’s senses were greatly restricted—especially Hu Niu’s. Her forte was speed, but when she couldn’t even see clearly, blindly running around would get her into a mishap.
“Old devil, come battle with this young grandpa!” Ling Han laughed loudly. He seemed young, but his soul was from millennia ago. He felt somewhat like an old man faced with anyone here; he didn’t need to pretend to be immature only in front of Asura Demon Emperor, as he certainly was much younger.
“Stubborn brat, when this lord overran the world, your oldest ancestors were drinking milk somewhere! How dare you act insolently in front of this lord! Today, this lord will annihilate you completely. This lord is very interested in that treasure you bear.” Rong Huan Xuan sneered.
“Why so much useless talk, just bring it on.” Ling Han retreated in a rush. He had no interest in fighting Rong Huan Xuan as the latter had the Three Lives Corpse Casket and was unkillable just like him.
Finding the black stone was the kingly way.
Rong Huan Xuan flew over, sticking out his right hand and clenching it. The Demonic Qi in this space danced wildly, turning into a giant hand that snatched at Ling Han.
&nb
sp; “Gagaga, unexpected, right? This lord originally manifested from primal chaos Demonic Qi, and my battle prowess here can increase tenfold. Let’s see where you’ll hide!” Rong Huan Xuan laughed loudly.
“Not necessarily!” Ling Han’s figure flashed, unleashing a punch and activating the Thunder Battle Armor. Instantly, lightning surged and turned into an eight-headed war elephant, greeting the black hand.
Hong!
The lightning war elephant charging at the black hand was as if a mantis trying to stop a chariot, shattering its own body yet not even able to slow down the black hand by single bit. As expected; Rong Huan Xuan said that his battle prowess here could increase tenfold and that definitely wasn’t a bluff.
“Die for this lord!” Rong Huan Xuan clenched his right hand. The black hand also clenched tightly, devouring Ling Han’s figure. However, Rong Huan Xuan immediately frowned because he felt Ling Han had already disappeared—the attack didn’t grasp Ling Han.
As expected, when the black hand disappeared, Ling Han also appeared unscathed.
“Old devil, although you shrunk into a turtle shell for in the past few days, I couldn’t do anything about you. However, if you want to hurt me, that’s also a pipe dream!” Ling Han laughed loudly.
Rong Huan Xuan’s gaze was chilly and his expression filled with anger, but he knew Ling Han was right. The two of them certainly couldn’t deal with the other. He felt a fit of irritation inside, but didn’t care too much as he already realized that inside Devil Sky Mystery Realm.
Then the next best thing was to find the Primal Chaos Source Rock and refine it as his body and then suppress Ling Han, seizing the treasure on the latter.
“Lign Han, Niu found the large rock! Niu’s won!” Hu Niu’s cheerful voice resounded as a black stone the size of a buffalo “ran” over with two tiny feet on the bottom… this scene was somewhat strange.
It was mainly because Hu Niu was too small—while carrying the rock, only her two feet could be seen.
