Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

While absorbing the legacy, the sculpture was as if fusing with him, replacing his spirit base and absorbing Spiritual Qi continuously; needless for him to convert it, it naturally converted into Origin Power to construct the spiritual pedestal.
The Spirit Qi here was so abundant here, so Ling Han’s cultivation was literally moved up a step each day, surprisingly fast.
…This sculpture was actually Sagittarius Palace’s most valuable treasure!
Days went by. Ling Han sat still like an old monk, completely losing sense of time.
Hu , his body trembled and appeared inside a valley, with the dazzling sun shining high above.
Ling Han was first startled and then returned to his senses; so, he’d already exited the mystery realm and returned to north region.
“Yan Tian Zhao!” His eyes shot a chilling glare—Yan Tian Zhao stood ten feet away from him.

Yan Tian Zhao sneered, “Ling Han, I’ll leave that thing in your hands and take it back in the future!”
“You still have a future?” Ling Han’s killing intent erupted, charging right out. “You’ll die today!”
“Haha, you’re talking a fool’s talk?” Yan Tian Zhao counterattacked, yet immediately let out a cry in surprise. “You actually reached the eighth layer of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier?” He snorted again—that was still infinitely far from the Flower Blossom Tier.
Xiu, xiu, xiu, the people that entered the mystery realm appeared one by one. Yu Kun Lun, Bai He Shun, and other well-known figures from on the “older” generation’s prodigy roll all crossed into the Flower Blossom Tier. They spurred with long accumulation, finally crossing the most arduous step with the mystery realm’s help.
Entering the Flower Blossom Tier meant transcending the mortal body, so every one of them was soared with confidence, an ineffable vigor.
They also looked at Ling Han. Previously, when the Jiang Family looked for a groom, they were all defeated by Ling Han and Yan Tian Zhao. Now that they crossed into the Flower Blossom Tier, it was another shuffle of the cards.
Especially Ling Han that hadn’t crossed into the Flower Blossom Tier, having no qualifications to be placed on par with them at all.
“Small Tower, give me a power boost!” Ling Han said inwardly. Although power boosting at the ninth layer of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier would be the most profitable, he only had one thought now, and that was to kill Yan Tian Zhao, ending the karma that he sowed.
Hong , Ling Han’s presence skyrocketed, instantly broke through to the Flower Blossom Tier, and then charged all the way up to the eighth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier.
“Hm?” All the Flower Blossom Tier elites casted a sidelong glance towards Ling Han; what happened, how was it possible that his tier instantly underwent such a terrifying change?
Especially Yu Kun Lun, who was originally filled with confidence, wanting to battle Ling Han to wash away the humiliation of him retreating without a fight—with this a rude awakening, the gloominess in his heart could be imagined.
Yan Tian Zhao’s expression instinctively turned stern. Ling Han’s battle prowess was too strong, and he’d experienced it before. Under the circumstances that he was ahead in tier, the two were tied, but now Ling Han’s tier was advantageous, and not just by a bit—this fight was definitely going to be hard.
“Die!” Ling Han swung his sword, and hong, ten flashes of Sword Qi streaked.
Yan Tian Zhao struck back. His control of power reached the acme of perfection and could utilize one percent’s power as ten percent’s power; after all, he could be seen as a special type of god, and couldn’t possibly be ordinary.
However, Ling Han was way too extraordinary. As the Demon Birth Sword came slashing, the power of it was frightening, and the dazzling sword light enveloped him completely. On top of the absolute advantage in power, he fell into a disadvantageous position.
“Haha, you only forcibly increased your power to the Flower Blossom Tier, and aren’t truly at the Flower Blossom Tier!” Yan Tian Zhao was unquestionably sharp, immediately seeing through Ling Han’s weak point.
What was the most powerful about the Flower Blossom Tier beings? They could invoke heaven and earth’s Spiritual Qi in the surroundings to strengthen themselves and turn one fold’s attack into tenfold, and even a hundred-fold! Ling Han only possessed the power of the eighth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, and couldn’t utilize heaven and earth’s Spiritual Qi.
This was the shortcoming of his tier.
However, the difference of each small tier in the Flower Blossom Tier was a great gap in power, so the eighth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier was enough to make up for ten times and even hundred times the amplification effect of heaven and earth’s Spiritual Qi, allowing Ling Han to still have the advantage.
However, such an advantage wasn’t as obvious as the eight layer against the first layer; it was at most the second layer against the first layer.
Yan Tian Zhao was fearless, exchanging blows with Ling Han. His grasp over power was too powerful, soon stabilizing the situation. However, with the sharpness of the Demon Birth Sword, he still didn’t dare to parry it head on, remaining at a disadvantage.
This already made the Flower Blossom Tier elites looking pained in the jaws. These two people’s battle prowess was at least Flower Blossom Tier six stars, suppressing many veteran Flower Blossom Tier warriors.
“Ling Han, you can’t possibly kill me. Just stop and keep your life. When the time comes, I’ll find you!” Yan Tian Zhao laughed loudly.
What he meant by time was naturally when he crossed into the Shattering Void Tier, having the qualification to shatter the void to become god. When he got the coordinates and returned to the Great Brahmas, he’d be able to open the god’s treasure-trove discovered by Heavenly River King.
“There won’t be a future, you must die today!” Ling Han said coldly. He had been accumulating strength, and now Mysterious Three Thousand was ready. With a sword thrust, it started turning into a thousand flashes of sword light.
Yan Tian Zhao’s expression changed drastically. This strike was too powerful and he didn’t dare to parry it head on, immediately turning away to run. Flower Blossom Tier creatures could fly, so he naturally flew into the sky and said, “Ling Han, just you wait!”
“No need to wait!” Ling Han sheathed his sword and made a posture of drawing a bow. There was clearly no bow in his hand, but an arrow appeared out of thin air, formed exactly by heaven and earth’s Spiritual Qi. He activated the Eye of Truth and glanced at Yan Tian Zhao’s weak point.
Xiu , a chilling flash of light shot out, ridiculously fast.
“Ah!” Yan Tian Zhao screamed tragically. His left rib was shot. Green blood splattered, looking extremely strange. The left rib was his vulnerable spot, and was penetrated by the arrow formed by Spiritual Qi. It instantly made the Origin Power in his body pour out and his figure staggered, sliding down from the sky.
Ling Han chased wielding his sword, and when Yan Tian Zhao fell down, he unleashed another Mysterious Three Thousand.
Fear flickered in Yan Tian Zhao’s eyes. At this moment, he truly felt that death was approaching. He didn’t want to die, since he acquired a god’s memory and had a ninety percent grasp of becoming a god in the future.
Moreover, he still hadn’t executed many maneuvers, and if he fought a life-and-death battle with Ling Han, it was uncertain who would emerge as the victor.
But now, all was too late. A thousand sword lights came piercing. It was Ling Han’s strongest killer move; Yan Tian Zhao’s vulnerable spot was injured, and falling from the sky, he had no way to evade.
Under his survival instinct, he formed a seal with his hands and fired out a bunch of green nets, intertwining in front of him, stopping Ling Han as much as possible.
Pu, pu, pu, pu, sword lights were like rain, instantly tearing apart the green nets. At least five hundred sword lights poure
d down on Yan Tian Zhao’s body as minced meat flew into the air continuously, turning him into a skeleton.
Teng, teng, teng , Yan Tian Zhao stepped back as guts and other internal organs slid out. A sword mark also appeared on his head, showing a deep wound.
Everyone shook their heads. Yan Tian Zhao’s head was already crushed and he was struggling at death’s door; he would die at most in a few more breaths.
Yan Tian Zhao looked startlingly at Ling Han. His eyes already fell out, and now two black holes remained, particularly terrifying. He still couldn’t believe that underestimating an enemy, or rather simply not wanting to fight with Ling Han head on, would actually doom him eternally.
When enemies met face-to-face on a narrow path, the courageous won—he even forgot such a simple thing!
“Hahahaha, Ling Han, now that I’m dead, don’t think about getting off easily!” He focused his mind, and said loudly, “This man received Jiang Family’s key and opened Sagittarius Palace, which is related to a god’s treasure-trove, a hidden treasure even gods would be stirred by! And, he also has a treasure tool that can accommodate…”
Pu!
Ling Han’s sword pierced through, thoroughly ending his life.
Nevertheless, the seed had been sowed. Ling Han’s gaze swept by, and he saw that countless people looked at him with eyes burning with desire, wishing they could devour him alive.
God’s treasure-trove!
Chapter 502

Ling Han was fearless. He didn’t refute it, because when involving things like treasure, many people would rather believe it existed. Moreover, a man’s words were good when death was near, so Yan Tian Zhao’s words were quite persuasive.
His gaze swept by, and seeing Wen Yi Jian, he immediately waved and said, “Junior Brother Wen!”
Pu , quite a few people spurted out—why did Ling Han call Wen Yi Jian junior brother, the two were completely unrelated, right?
Wen Yi Jian was also slightly started, and said, “Not sure why Master Ling calls me junior brother?”
“You and I both acquired the legacy of the Twelve Palaces, of course we’re fellow brothers!” Ling Han laughed loudly; he had to drag Wen Yi Jian down to share some of his burden. He obviously didn’t fear these Flower Blossom Tier warriors, but if some Spiritual Infant Tier ones came, it would be hard to deal with.
Moreover, should the news spread, maybe Shattering Void Tier elites would cross over regions no matter the cost? Then even if he had the Black Tower’s protection, would he hide in a shell for his entire life?
Wen Yi Jian was one from east region and ran over to north region for gains, so he had to share some of the pressure for him; he couldn’t always be the one to take the burden, right?
“Hehe, Master Ling sure loves telling jokes!” Wen Yi Jian guffawed, looking like arguing was beneath him, yet thought that if they were fellow brothers, he would be the senior one.
Ling Han snickered, and said, “Junior Brother Wen acquired the Scorpio Palace’s legacy, do you dare make a heart’s vow and bet to say that I’m wrong?”
A heart’s vow was a vow to one’s martial arts principles, and if this were faked, one wouldn’t get struck by thunder, but it would heavily influence one’s martial arts progression. It definitely couldn’t be made recklessly.
In the depths of Wen Yi Jian’s eyes was a shred of annoyance, but his expression was extremely calm as he said indifferently, “Why should I make a heart’s vow, senseless!”
Ling Han said no more, simply sweeping pass everyone, and said, “Me and Junior Brother Wen are kings amongst martial artists and have both crossed into the Flower Blossom Tier. On top of this Flower Blossom Tier king tier puppet…”—he summoned the Rock Spirit—”if you want, come battle, let’s see how many people will spill their blood across the skies and leave their lives here.”
The corner of Wen Yi Jian’s mouth twitched, why did Ling Han include him again? This person didn’t have ears at all and didn’t listen to him speak or something?
He was even more shocked. Receiving great benefits at the Scorpio Palace, he finally crossed into the Flower Blossom Tier, but also acquired a mystic art which could hide his cultivation, which still looked like the ninth layer of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier, so how did Ling Han see through with a single glance?
What the hell of a mystic art was this!?
“Don’t care so much, take the two of them down!” The Flower Blossom Tier cultivators exchanged their opinions—whether it was the legacy of the Twelve Palaces or the god’s treasure-trove, both were of great significance. They would rather mistakenly kill and definitely not miss it.
“Not going to play with you north region lunatics!” Wen Yi Jian shot up abruptly, and the presence of the Flower Blossom Tier spread out without reservation. With a step down was a flash of divine light, which burst forth as he left soaring through the sky.
“Want to leave?” Immediately, dozens of attacks came flying. Even if Wen Yi Jian’s battle prowess was exceptional, he’d just broken through after all—he couldn’t possibly resist against such a bombardment of attacks, and was forced to land.
“Junior Brother Wen, let’s fight shoulder-to-shoulder!” Ling Han laughed loudly.
Wen Yi Jian was almost had a wry nose from anger. He could have left quietly, getting rich secretly, but Ling Han actually exposed him. Now, he was caught in a dangerous situation, making him extremely gloomy.
“Ling Han, when did I offend you, why do you have to mess with me like this?” he said coldly, not even calling him Master Ling.
Ling Han laughed, and said justifiably, “Junior Brother Wen, we’re a family, of course we should pull together at a time like this. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you!”
‘Protect your sister, I could’ve calmly left with a swagger.’
Wen Yi Jian grimaced as the situation in front of his eyes obviously wouldn’t be as he wished. Fortunately, the Spiritual Infant Tier warriors earlier had already gone back, or else, if those elites intervened, he would only be able to submit.
Now, he could fight it out, and break through the tight encirclement.
“Ling Han, this debt, I’ll definitely make you pay for it!” he swore as he stood together with Ling Han. The two in addition to the Rock Spirit formed a corner, back to back.
“Ha, that’ll be in the future,” Ling Han said unconcernedly.
Liu Yu Tong and the others were tactful and didn’t go forward. If they went up now, not only would they not be able to help Ling Han, they’d instead become a burden, making them feel unpleasant inside. Despite their fast progression speed, even fighting into north region’s prodigy roll, they still couldn’t share part of Ling Han’s worries and burdens.
“Come, come, come, who wants the treasure, jut attack.” Ling Han laughed loudly. “But, you guys have to think clearly, I’m also a Heaven Grade alchemist. If you hurt single hair of mine, be careful lest the entire Alchemist Society will give you all a hard time!”
The faces of all the Flower Blossom Tiers elites twitched, thinking that Ling Han was exceedingly courageous, and at the same time a bit rascally.
Fighting against the masses alone, this was obviously exceedingly courageous. However, he also put out his identity of a Heaven Grade alchemist to threaten them, making them hold back when they attacked—wasn’t this extremely rascally?
This wasn’t a bit at all like an eighteen-year-old youngster, but rather mature and slick, just like an old fox.
“Take them down, do your best not to hurt them!” The Flower Blossom Tier warriors reached a consensus. A Heaven Grade alchemist’s capacity was too heavy. Killing one secretly was all right, but killing Ling Han in public… that would definitely spread to the entire world. Whoever made the move would definitely be pushed out by the sect as a scapegoat to settle the fury of the world’s alchemists.
Oh, I didn’t get the treasure, but I’d still have to give up my life for it—who would do
such a thing?
Thus, everyone hoped that someone else would kill Ling Han accidentally, but they themselves definitely wouldn’t do it.
” Go!”
Over twenty Flower Blossom Tier cultivators attacked together, their momentum vast and mighty.
Ling Han, Wen Yi Jian, and the Rock Spirit roared, swinging their swords and pulling their fists, charging up one after another.
Watching on the side, Hu Niu stamped her feet, but it was currently a chaotic fight, and any random gust of wind was at Flower Blossom Tier, filling the entire fray; no matter how fast she was, it was impossible to avoid the remaining shock waves of so many attacks—going in head on would only result in injury.
Her battle instincts were too scary, immediately figuring out such a conclusion, which was why she didn’t charge up hot-headedly.
“Niu wants to become stronger! Niu wants to become stronger!” the little gril yelled loudly. Something inside her seemed to awaken, emitting a light hint of divine might; mortals couldn’t possibly sense it as it shot to the heavens, even breaking through this world.
Ling Han now had the power of the eighth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, and on top of the former Heaven Tier’s divine sense, he could still allocate heaven and earth’s Spirit Qi. However, the amount was relatively smaller, so his actual cultivation was equivalent to the third layer of the Flower Blossom Tier.
In addition to the various arts he grasped, his battle prowess rocketed to ten stars.
Surpassing seven stars!
This was mainly because his power was forcibly boosted; otherwise, if he truly crossed into the Flower Blossom Tier, then even at first layer Flower Blossom Tier, his battle prowess could also reach ten stars.
However, it was also enough now!
Since nine of his enemies had just completed their breakthrough—such as Yu Kun Lun, Bai He Shun, and other old figures on the prodigy roll—how many stars of battle prowess could they possibly have at that moment?
Besides, Ao Feng and other even older figures of the prodigy roll had also broken through not long ago—about one or two years ago, and at most tent years, but what layer of the Flower Blossom Tier could they have reached in ten years?
