“That’s right. Unfortunately, you found out too late!” Feng Wei Qi brandished the sanguine saber.
With a ding , the treasured sword cut the sanguine sword, erupting with a chain of sparks.
“What!?” Feng Wei Qi revealed a shocked look. Under this attack, Ling Han actually didn’t get sent flying! Could it be so coincidental that this brat also cultivated thunder type arts, so he luckily didn’t get restrained?
…Wrong, that sword had no thunder Spiritual Qi.
“You, how can you block my saber?” He couldn’t help but ask.
“Want to know?” Ling Han laughed loudly. “Use the secrets here to exchange!”
“Don’t dream!” Feng Wei Qi shouted loudly, and swung the saber at Ling Han again.
Ling Han sighed, and said, “Don’t be so sure, or else it’ll be awkward later.”
“Die! Die! Die!” Feng Wei Qi roared, and kept swinging the saber, trying to cut down Han on spot.
Ling Han was fearless. His physical art improved quickly, and was not far from the level of his Origin Power; even in the situation where he couldn’t borrow heaven and earth’s Spiritual Qi, he still possessed fifteen stars or so of battle prowess.
Once he became serious, Feng Wei Qi immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Exchanging less than ten blows, Ling Han knocked away the sanguine saber from Feng Wei Qi, and placed the sword on his neck. He laughed mischievously, and said, “Now can we talk?”
“If you want to kill, then kill!” Feng Wei Qi actually didn’t show any sign of fear. He looked coldly at Ling Han. “But, you’ll also die soon!”
“Oh, could you possibly know how to cast curses?” Ling Han said with a smile. If Feng Wei Qi really had a treasure like the Bottle of Curse, he might have some scruples.
“My son is a Spiritual Infant Tier elite, and a peak stage Spiritual Infant Tier at that!” Feng Wei Qi laughed loudly. “When you kill me, he’ll immediately sense it, and no matter where you hide, he’ll find you and kill you!”
“I really thought you weren’t afraid of death. After all that, you’re still threatening me to make me not kill you!” Ling Han shook his head, patted him on the face with a smile, and said, “Who doesn’t fear death? Being able to live fine, of course no one wants to die.
“You can tell me about the situation here. We don’t have any grievances anyway, so it’s not like I can’t spare your life.”
Feng Wei Qi sneered, and said, “Don’t imagine it! There were definitely no false words in what I just said. My son is Absolute Saber Sect’s Small Saber King. If you don’t believe it, you can ask anyone.”
Ling Han stroked his chin, and said, “Usually, I’ve only seen the second generation juniors brandishing their parents’ banner to act recklessly. Never had I thought that that I’d have encountered one who relied on his son’s reputation to act like a tyrant. It really has refreshed my outlook of life.”
He knocked out Feng Wei Qi with a single palm and stored him inside the Black Tower, planning to properly interrogate him.
“This parasol is so beautiful.” Losing Feng Wei Qi’s control, that parasol fell down from the sky and was held in Helian Xun Xue’s hand as she fondled it admiringly.
Ling Han approached to take a glance, then couldn’t help but frown, and said, “This doesn’t seem like the original, but a replica.”
The parasol handle and the canopy had vein-like patterns carved on them, but the marks were very new and didn’t seem like an ancient article. If this Spirit Tool was newly crafted, then there wouldn’t be just one. Moreover, these materials were only of the sixth tier; did that mean that if there were seventh-tier, or eighth-tier materials, a stronger Myriad Gauze Parasol could be made?
This Feng Wei Qi needed to be investigated carefully!
Ling Han and Hu Niu entered the Black Tower, while Helian Xun Xue could only sulk again.
Ling Han looked at Feng We Qi and said in an calm tone, “Tell me all the details about this cave.”
“Haha, you’re dreaming!” Feng Wei Qi seemed quite a ruffian, but there was still fear in his eyes; suddenly arriving at this inexplicable place from the cave was beyond common sense, making him involuntarily feel fear.
Could he have lost consciousness for many days?
Ling Han smiled slightly, and said, “In here, no one can say no to me, and you’re obviously no exception. I have all the ways to torment you; just see how long you can preserve.”
“Bring it on! If I say anything in weakness, then I’m a b!tch!” Feng Wei Qi said with his neck raised.
…
After half a day.
“I’ll talk, I’ll say anything!” Feng Wei Qi screamed tragically. In this half a day, he suffered various unimaginable tortures—burning, drowning, burying—and making him die, then come to life, and then die; it was truly worse than death, and he couldn’t even die even if he wanted to.
He now only sought to be freed.
“You really are Small Saber King’s old man?” Ling Han asked.
“Yes, I’m really his father,” Feng Wei Qi said, gasping for breath. His eyes already lost focus, as if he’d become foolish.
“Why did you come here?” Ling Han asked.
“When my son was exploring historic sites, he discovered clues about this place. He came here first and received a few ancient articles,” Feng Wei Qi replied. “But my son is focused on cultivating, so I came here to manage the excavation project.”
“What is this place exactly?”
“I’m not too sure, either. I only know that it belongs to an ancient dynasty from hundreds of thousand years ago,” Feng Wei Qi said. However, it was what he said next that jolted Ling Han’s mind. “That ancient dynasty wanted to open the skies and transport the entire vast lands into the god realm, but failed. This place is only a treasure vault of that ancient dynasty in its former years.”
Opening the sky… it was about opening the sky again!
Ling Han was shocked. That ancient dynasty was truly bold and daring in seeking to ascend with the entire vast lands into god realm, making all mortals divine citizens—thinking about it gave one the feeling of being on pins and needles.
“Say, how many treasures have you dug out from here?”
Feng Wei Qi explained one by one, and as Ling Han listened, he was more and more shocked.
This place had primarily puppets. Other than gold, silver, and iron, there was a diamond puppet, though it was only one, and was long taken away by Small Saber King; if this type of puppet were to fully unleash its might, it was equivalent to a Deity Transformation Tier elite, and what was more terrifying was that it possessed a considerable intelligence.
Additionally, gold, silver, and iron skin puppets were far from the amount that Ling Han saw, and all were taken away by Small Saber King. As for what Small Saber King wanted to do, Feng Wei Qi didn’t know, either; he was only excavating this historic site in his son’s stead.
Other than the puppets, the battleships that Ling Han saw previously were only divided into two types of gold and black. The black battle ship could pose a threat to the Flower Blossom Tier elites, and there were a hundred vessels of this kind. The golden battleship could annihilate Spiritual Infant Tier warriors, but there were only ten vessels; this place only had one left, though, as the others were all in the hands of Small Saber King.
Fortunately, this golden battleship wasn’t by Feng Wei Qi’s side; otherwise, Ling Han wouldn’t have taken down Feng Wei Qi so easily, and would instead be hunted down.
The golden battleship was not only more powerful, but was also a flying type treasure. It was only a hundred meters long and flew extremely fast, but also exhausted a lot of Origin Crystals. Black Wood Island was well fortified, so Feng Wei Qi never thought that he would have the need to use this large-scale Spirit Tool.
Other than this, there were various practical Spirit Tools like the Myriad Gauze
Parasol. This certainly was a replica, because the real article was already damaged, but even the replica could still make Deity Transformation Tier elites unable to sense Spiritual Qi—an extremely terrifying thing.
Ling Han exclaimed inwardly; just how powerful and prosperous was this ancient dynasty? This was only one of their treasure vaults, but the various treasures excavated here already made him shocked.
However, the most important was still that obelisk. It was said to be related to a Mystical Power, and only the this obelisk hadn’t been unearthed over the three years; the power of lightning was too frightening, greatly affecting the undertaking’s progression.
From the information Small Saber King obtained, that ancient dynasty had a total of four Mystical Powers, sealed separately in four treasure vaults. The one here was called “Thunderclap Ninth Heaven,” and was the weakest of the four; the most formidable one was called “Nine Deaths Heaven Art,” and had the ability to disrupt life and death.
Small Saber King cared very much about this Mystical Power, and would inquire about the excavation of the obelisk from time to time. If it weren’t for his special identity, he’d actually rather personally keep watch.
“Now, I’ve got quite the bargain,” Ling Han said.
Chapter 594

Ling Han exited the Black Tower and arrived in front of the obelisk. The workers already dispersed in fright, and it was absolutely empty here.
“Han Han, you’re ignoring me again!” Helian Xun Xue said with a disconsolate expression, appearing really upset.
Ling Han was speechless. This Hai Niu had been aggressive, condescending, and extremely domineering back then, but now she was actually like a doormat; the discrepancy before and after was so great that he couldn’t get used to it.
Facing such a Helian Xun Xue, it was very hard for him to connect her with that domineering princess before and have any killing intent towards her.
“This is a tremendous muddle!” Ling Han sighed; he really didn’t know how the two would end after Helian Xun Xue recovered her memory.
Helian Xun Xue pulled on the hem of Ling Han’s clothes, revealing a content smile on her delicate face. She was a little lady, desiring too little.
“No one’s digging, guess I’ll have to do it myself,” Ling Han said. He wasn’t the type that liked to enslave people, and since the workers all ran, he wouldn’t capture those people to get them to continue to work.
Hu Niu also appeared; the little girl’s claws were extremely sharp, and using them to dig, they couldn’t be better.
The workers from earlier didn’t dare to get too close, and excavated thirty meters away, forming a deep pit; Feng Wei Qi fired Saber Qi with the sanguine saber and sliced away from afar, cutting off the stones on top of the obelisk, so the progression was extremely slow.
Ling Han took large strides forward, and the obelisk was as if it came to life, with flashes of lightning intertwining. Suddenly, a flash of lightning fired out, striking Ling Han.
Pa , Ling Han was instantly sent flying, with black smoke rising from his body, and his flesh was actually somewhat burnt.
It was truly frightening. His physique was on the level of a sixth-tier rare metal, yet was actually burnt with a single strike; the power of the lightning was not to be underestimated.
With a thought, Ling Han immediately activated the Thunder Battle Armor; it was rather interesting to see how things would end if he pitted lightning against lightning.
He advanced once again, and zi , another flash of lightning was released. This time, the Thunder Battle Armor unleashed its might and blocked it, and they interwove with each other and formed a densely packed white current—the sight was very shocking.
The Thunder Battle Armor seemed to have activated on its own, and carried out an arts battle with the obelisk. That power was already far beyond what Ling Han could wield, and the entire cave was full of lightning. Zi, zi, zi , the current was like a whip, lashing the cave’s walls, leaving deep gashes on them.
The entire cave was trembling as if it were about to collapse.
“Fun!” Hu Niu shouted cheerfully and rushed over.
“Go back!” Ling Han hurriedly shouted. He could only resist relying on the Thunder Battle Armor, or else he would definitely go into the Black Tower. The little girl was freakish, but she probably couldn’t resist such powers of lightning.
However, against his expectations, Hu Niu was actually in the lightning as if nothing had happened. Not only so; she also seemed to become the center of the lightning as her body turned into a bottomless pit, absorbing the endless lightning.
“Ling Han, Niu feels so strange!” Hu Niu said. In her eyes were strange arbitrary scenes; there was the annihilation of stars, the death of elites, emitting the endless vicissitudes along with boundless pressure.
Helian Xun Xue shivered; even if she was actually a Heaven Tier elite, she couldn’t resist this pressure and sat abruptly onto the ground, shedding cold sweat like rain.
Ling Han also almost knelt down, but Black Tower vibrated lightly in his dantian and emitted a supreme presence, expelling Hu Niu’s coercive pressure and making him return to normal.
“Hu Niu, hurry up and withdraw from there!” Ling Han already knew this lightning couldn’t harm Hu Niu, but her change was also extremely strange. Moreover, he always had a hidden worry whether Hu Niu’s human-shaped spirit base would revive and take over Hu Niu.
Zi, zi, zi , the obelisk and the Thunder Battle Armor shone brilliantly, and the vein-like patterns on them continued to disintegrate. In an instant, all the lightning disappeared, and the entire cave became pitch black—the torches were all extinguished by the lightning.
In the darkness, Hu Niu’s entire body glowed and emitted a shocking aura. At this moment, she was no longer the gluttonous little girl. It was as if she reincarnated into a supreme being that could shatter the highest of heavens and penetrate the depths of hell. If it weren’t for the support of the Black Tower, Ling Han would definitely be lying on the ground without even the strength to move a finger.
It was clear just by seeing Helian Xun Xue, who already shrunk into a ball, not even raising her head.
Pa , the Thunder Battle Armor on Ling Han shattered into pieces and decayed; the essence within the battle armor was drawn completely, turning a tenth-tier material into scrap iron.
The obelisk also suffered heavy damage as its lightning power became extremely weak.
Hu Niu fell straight onto the ground, falling unconscious.
Ling Han hurriedly ran over and carried the little girl in his arms, sensing her aura. Fortunately, she only fell unconscious, and the various functions of the body were not damaged at all.
Where exactly did this little girl come from?
Ling Han sighed and held back his curiosity, placing the little girl into the Black Tower.
Helian Xun Xue stood up. Her gaze seemed somewhat hazy, and her entire person was also somewhat out of it as she walked towards the obelisk. Her mind was now somewhat unclear as she reached out with her delicate hands and pressed onto the part of the obelisk that was laid bare outside the rocks.
“You’re also going crazy?” Ling Han hurriedly leapt over, wanting to pull her back, but this girl’s physical strength was also extremely frightening; he actually couldn’t pull her back.
Helian Xun Xue’s hand already pressed onto the obelisk, and instantly, Ling Han only felt a mighty memory shock, forming a munificent sight before him: a martial artist physical turned into lightning and battled fiercely in the skies.
He was truly powerful; whenever he suffered an attack, his body of lightning could evade the attacks, and when releasing punches, the power of lighting erupted, annihilating everything.
Thunderclap Ninth Heaven, a Mystical Power!
Originally, this Mystical Power was protected by the power of lightning, and definitely couldn’t be learnt so easily, but the Thunder Battle Armor and the
obelisk had formed an intriguing interaction. Then, Hu Niu entered randomly and absorbed a large amount of the lightning power; the obelisk also lost its protection, and the Mystical Power legacy was inherited easily.
Characters shone in Ling Han’s consciousness; he was now cuddled with Helian Xun Xue, so this Thunderclap Ninth Heaven’s legacy simultaneously fell on the both of them.
Turning the body into lightning and shattering all of time!
Zi, zi, zi , the remaining lightning power intertwined on their bodies, and turned their clothes into flying ash; their bodies entangled and melted into one.
Under the impact of this Mystical Power memory, Ling Han also became dazed. It was as if he had a strange dream and turned into a dragon knight, trying to subdue a restless dragon, tangling and fighting.
At last, he obviously won and rode on the dragon, speeding along and feeling great.
Dazzled, he fell into slumber because of exhaustion, and endless lightning in his consciousness turned into lightning symbols—the essence of Thunderclap Ninth Heaven.

Ling Han woke up, feeling refreshed.
He got up and couldn’t help but let out a sound of surprise. Discovering that he was without a piece of clothing, he hurriedly took out clothes from the Black Tower to wear. He remembered, under the intertwining lightning, the clothes on his body certainly broke into pieces.
After all, the Thunder Battle Armor was destroyed.
He couldn’t help but cry inwardly in pity. That was a tenth-tier Spirit Tool, and although it was damaged, it was still a precious treasure.
“Hmm, where’s Hai Niu?” Ling Han’s gaze swept about, but he couldn’t find that push over young woman. How strange—this girl stuck to him all day, but actually had times where she disappeared.
