Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

by Flying Alone 孤单地飞

  “Hahahaha, come, come, come, I’ll beat you into submission, big guy!” Ling Han and the giant golem constantly exchanged blows. Only a formidable physique allowed for such willfulness, or else even a true Deity Transformation Tier cultivator wouldn’t dare to exchange blows with the Rock Spirit like this.

  After all, Rock Spirits, or golems, were widely known for their formidable physique and astonishing recovery ability, and an existence able to exchange blows with it, Gold Spirits, were probably the only ones that qualified to do so in the same tier.

  Ling Han attained the Diamond Body, which indeed could be considered the body of a Gold Spirit, and even one great tier higher 1 .

  Wenren Qian Qian stared blankly. She knew that Ling Han was freakish and that his physical abilities were strong enough to rival Jia Ming’s, but she definitely didn’t think he could actually exchange blows with a worldly spirit like the Rock Spirit.

  She still underestimated this young talent.

  Small Rock was extremely excited, anxious to cry out that its master was too gelivable! It was already itching to have a feast, and combining the other party’s rock essence, it definitely could advance and even reach the level of high-level Spiritual Infant Tier.

  The giant golem was furious, suddenly roaring at Ling Han.

  “Ang!” The sound was like tides, visible to the eye. Cracks even appeared on Ling Han’s clothes, and his entire person also seemed to sink into the mud, making it difficult to move forward.

  “Sh*t, you’re trying to make this young master run naked?” Ling Han angrily rebuked. His physique could only guard his body, and couldn’t possibly extend such fortune to his clothes; under the giant golem’s roar, they almost completely disintegrated.

  He hurriedly activated Origin Power to form a shield outside his body, and then unleashed the Demon Birth Sword, struck apart the sonic wave, and charged out imposingly.

  The giant golem also meant business—as it shot out its hands forward, rock spikes emerged. With its power and its body’s toughness, the rock spikes formed were definitely extremely sharp and qualified to pose a threat to Ling Han’s physique.

  The battle escalated; both parties raised their battle prowess and fought fervently again.

  However, Demon Birth Sword was a tenth-tier Spirit Tool, after all. Under continuous strikes and slashes, the giant golem’s rock spikes continued to be deflected and scattered in pieces everywhere.

  Small Rock was like a dog scurrying back and forth, catching all these rock spikes and munching on them happily. A shred of the giant golem’s rock essence was contained inside each of them, and for the small golem, it was a greatly tonic thing.

  It cried out in excitement beyond its control.

  The giant golem was in a towering rage. It still hadn’t eaten a nice meal, yet a layer of its skin was peeled off first—truly too much of a loss. However, it wasn’t willing to give up; after all, Ling Han’s strength didn’t reach the point where it’d feel intimidated.

  It roared angrily, and its body began to swell up rapidly, from 10 to 30 meters tall, and still enlarging.

  In contrast, the entire ground nearby was sinking. Hong, long, long, countless rocks and sand soared into the sky; it was as if a massive hole appeared at the bottom.

  Ling Han was astounded, and said, “As expected of the child of the earth, being able to extract the power of the earth to instill it in itself, fusing with the earth to strengthen its physique! Sigh, why doesn’t my Rock Spirit have such abilities?”

  Small Rock looked at Ling Han, feeling wronged. It wanted to be that kickass, but its tier wasn’t there yet, and it was absolutely unable to extract the soul of the earth to fuse with itself!

  Everyone hurriedly flew up as it seemed to be extremely dangerous to stand on the ground.

  Hong , the giant golem shot at Ling Han once again. Its fist was comparable to a mountain peak, and if one were to be hit by it, not to mention Deity Transformation Tier, even Heaven Tier elites would hack out blood.

  Weight plus speed could also form terrifying power.

  Why was it said that worldly spirits were more terrifying than kings among beasts? This was the reason!

  Xiu , Ling Han turned into a flash of lightning and evaded this attack. At the same time, he swung the long sword and unleashed a Sword Ray, slashing at the giant golem. Pu , the Sword Ray entered its body, cutting off a large slice of the giant golem’s body, but its current size was truly too big, so slicing off such a piece couldn’t hurt it at all.

  Immediately, it extracted the rocks in the earth to repair parts that were slashed off, and was instantly restored to its original state.

  This gigantic body was equivalent to its armor, and it was one that was able to repair automatically; as long as the earth was still present, it could constantly receive replenishment.

  To exhaust the entire earth, how could it even possibly be done?

  “How do we play now?” Li Feng Yu muttered. The giant golem stood in an invincible position, and only it could beat others.

  Ling Han dodged and contemplated.

  To deal with the golem was really quite simple, and that was to make its feet leave the earth. Fighting in the skies, the golem couldn’t possibly receive replenishment from the earth.

  The problem was how was it to be done.

  A worldly spirit like this was not foolish at all.

  Then, only Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow or 10,000 Techniques Return to One could be used to directly extinguish its soul spirit… as long as it was a living spirit, it would have a soul spirit.

  However, the golem was so gigantic, how would one know where its true body was?

  Ling Han activated the Eye of Truth and looked towards the golem, and the golem instantly appeared in another form in his eyes.

  The energy form.

  The majority of its body was dim, for it was rocks extracted from the earth, and under its left lumbar, a small round dot sparkled as if a small sun.

  The Rock Spirit’s essence, origin source, origin of life, and heart of stone!

  Ling Han took out Sunset Bow and mounted a sharp arrow forged with eighth-tier rare metal, activating the Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow and the Thunderclap Ninth Heaven, while the Eye of Truth locked onto that glowing dot.

  Go!

  He let go suddenly, and xiu , the pointed arrow shot out, bound with lightning, instantly accelerating to its extreme.

  Pu , the pointed arrow shot into the giant golem’s waist and left it on the other side.

  The giant golem fixed its stare on Ling Han, and then the rocks on its body crumbled chunk by chunk, shattering and disintegrating, instantly becoming a pile of shattered rocks. Within the rocks, a human head-sized rock was as clear as jade, flickering with a gentle radiance.

  The heart of stone!

  “Ao, ao, ao!” The small golem pounced over in a rush, crawling on its limbs like a dog. It picked up the heart of stone with its mouth and then scuttled back to Ling Han’s side, nudging Ling Han with its head ingratiatingly.

  Ling Han couldn’t help but be speechless. Why was this guy more and more like a dog?

  However, the Rock Spirit was also more and more obedient; otherwise, this guy definitely would’ve run away with the heart of stone in its mouth and not look at him ingratiatingly, anticipating his approval.

  “Brother Ling, your puppet is really human-like, not a bit like an ice cold puppet,” Wenren Qian Qian said sincerely.

  The golem was instantly displeased, roaring angrily at Wenren Qian Qian… who was a puppet? It was a dignified worldly spirit, a life of the five elements that received the love of heaven.

  Ling Han laughed loudly and stored the golem into the Black Tower, allowing it to refine the heart of stone and raise its tier as soon as possible. Actually, the effect would definitely have been better if he directly subdued the giant golem earlier; it was in the Deity Transform
ation Tier anyhow.

  But, firstly, Ling Han didn’t want to unleash the Black Tower openly, and secondly, he was a person who valued feelings. Since the Rock Spirit paid allegiance to him, he would think of ways to increase its strength, and not just abandon it after seeing a stronger one.

  The Rock Spirit should know this too, so it was even more loyal.

  “Yes, quite remarkably so,” Ling Han said with a smile, but didn’t say that it was a Rock Spirit.

  “Qian Qian always thought Brother Ling was known for sword techniques, but never expected your archery to be even more astonishing. That arrow even annihilated a Deity Transformation Tier Rock Spirit, such might is truly unimaginable,” Wenren Qian Qian exclaimed in admiration.

  “Haha, Lady Wenren, no need put me on a pedestal.” Ling Han waved his hand. She was also their generation’s prodigy, and her talent probably wasn’t inferior to Zhu Xuan Er’s. He paused shortly, then went on, “Let’s go, we should continue on our way.”

  They all nodded and advanced forward.

  This area was surprisingly large, just as if the end could never be reached, but after half a day, the sun in the sky quickly vanished. In its place was a moon that emitted gentle rays of light, chilly like water.

  Everyone was astonished. The master of this historical site had really invested thought and effort to simulate the environment here to be so similar to the outside world’s.

  Even many stars hung in the sky.

  Ling Han activated the Eye of Truth for a closer look. Earlier it was the sun, so he didn’t dare to stare too long, since that would blind his eyes. However, the moon was different. The damage of the rays of light was limited and he could completely endure it.

  After a while, his expression changed drastically as he said, “Those are real stars, completely the same as the ones outside!”

  “What?!” Everyone was visibly moved.

  “Stars are meteors 1 and often contain rare high-level metals, which is why they glow in the skies,” Wenren Qian Qian said.

  Ling Han nodded, and said, “Above the firmament, a strange absorptive power set those meteors in place, so the starlit sky we see is fixed. Different at day and night, under the power of the world’s force, there’s a revolving trajectory.”

  The rabbit said, “Actually, these stars are only several thousand miles away from us. If not for the existence of the astral winds, even Flower Blossom Tier elites would easily reach the ends of the sky.”

  “But precisely because of the existence of astral winds, even Shattering Void Tier elites don’t dare to charge forcibly, only…” Ling Han followed, and made a chopping move at the sky.

  The first step to splitting open the skies was cutting apart the astral winds, or else, unable to reach the heavens, how could one speak of splitting the skies?

  “Shattering Void Tier beings are too powerful. The attacks they unleash can penetrate the astral wind layer and strike down the stars in the heavens, but when the stars pass through the astral wind layer, the majority would be worn away, and only a few amongst the few can fall down to the ground,” the rabbit continued. “Brat, are you seeing wrong? Those stars can’t possibly be the same as the ones outside.”

  Ling Han shook his head, and said, “I’m definitely not seeing wrong!” He contemplated, and said, “Then there’s only one possibility. A supreme being forcibly broke apart the astral wind layer and plucked those stars completely intact.”

  “Plucking stars and capturing the moon, how powerful is that?” Wenren Qian Qian was dumbstruck. “This is something even Shattering Void Tier elites can’t do!”

  Ling Han nodded. Shattering Void Tiers could shake down the stars in the sky. After all, it was only a long distance protected by the astral wind layer, but to charge through the astral wind layer and pluck the stars… the difficulty was completely not on the same level.

  He couldn’t help but shiver inside. An ancient dynasty once thought to split the skies and failed in the end, leaving four treasure vaults. Could this historical site belong to the ancient dynasty? At the time, although they failed to split open the skies, breaking through the astral wind layer shouldn’t have been a problem, so plucking a few perfect stars was also within reason.

  If it truly were so, the Purple Moon Empire and the five great sects being in a great hurry also stood to reason; it was a dynasty that was qualified to split the skies!

  “It really is more and more tempting,” Ling Hand said with a smile.

  Everyone sat down. Ling Han took out ingredients, while everyone began to prepare for dinner. Walking in such a dangerous place, they had to maintain their optimal condition at every moment, or else they could be grievously hurt.

  Time was indeed precious, but they definitely shouldn’t advance rashly.

  Wenren Qian Qian, as well as Li Feng Yu and his sister, obviously also prepared rations, but smelling the aroma of the food Ling Han and the others cooked, they couldn’t help but look edacious. After having a taste of their food, they instantly threw aside their ingredients and moved closer stiffly to get things to eat.

  “Hmm, where’s the meat I placed here?” Li Feng Yu felt it strange. He’d just grilled a slice of meat and planned to take it to his sister, yet it suddenly disappeared.

  His gaze swiveled by and stopped at the rabbit, and he said, “Uncle Rabbit, did you secretly eat it?”

  The rabbit turned its head and said in disdain, “Pah, would Uncle Rabbit steal your food to eat?”

  “Then what’s with your mouth’s chewing?”

  “Uncle Rabbit naturally likes to squabble, is it not allowed?”

  “The oil’s dripping out!”

  “Nonsense, Uncle Rabbit’s a vegetarian!”

  “You damned rabbit, the thief that stole!” Li Feng Yu was driven mad. This shameless rabbit, too lazy to grill things on its own, stealing things… too detestable.

  The rabbit ignored him, and its ruby-like eyes circled randomly. With its temperament of unwilling to take losses, it was clearly taking revenge on Li Feng Yu’s big mouth because the other people were now looking at it vigilantly, greatly increasing the difficulty of stealing.

  “Hmm, where’s the soup I placed here?” Ling Han was also shocked, and then looked at the rabbit and said, “Did you do it?”

  “Such wrongful treatment. You guys lose things and just find Uncle Rabbit. Is Uncle Rabbit that kind of rabbit?” The rabbit jumped up, aggrieved.

  “Yes!” Everyone nodded.

  “Hmm, the bowl I placed here is also gone,” Zhu Xuan Er also said, feeling it strange.

  “Nothing to do with Uncle Rabbit!” The rabbit hurriedly raised its claws before anyone asked.

  “It indeed wasn’t the rabbit.” Ling Han shook his head. His divine sense was constantly locked onto the rabbit, and if the rabbit were to have any strange movements, it wouldn’t have escaped his notice. After all, his divine sense was at the Heaven Tier, even if it was just a shred of it.

  Then who was it? Everyone wondered.

  Hu Niu suddenly started to giggle, reaching out to grab something white, and said, “Let’s grill it and eat it!”

  Chapter 702 - Gold-Seeking Rat

  Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Henyee

  What Hu Niu caught in her hand was a fury little thing, somewhat like a bamboo rat, only with a different color. Its body was plump, with four short limbs and a long tail.

  If this animal was black, it probably would appear more terrifying, but with its white pelt and pink claws, on top of a pair of eyes that almost took up one third of its face, this guy appeared very endearingly silly.

  The little guy was struggling desperately to escape from Hu Niu’s hand, but it was troubled by short limbs and just struggled in vain, squeaking in panic.

  Hu Niu began to drool, and said, “Grilled or boiled. Grilled is more aromatic, boiled is fresher, sigh, why’s there only one, making things so difficult for Niu!”

  “You can’t eat it!” Zhu Xuan Er, Wenren Qian Qian, and
Li Zi Xian all shouted at the same time. Such a cute little thing, who would be willing to!

  “Why?” Puzzled, Hu Niu said, while looking vigilantly at the others. “You guys want to snatch it? Hmph, Niu’s no vegetarian, Niu’s down to fight!”

  Ling Han was curious, and said, “Could this little guy be the thief from earlier?”

  “Great, daring to frame your Uncle Rabbit, slaughter and eat it!” the rabbit said in an aggressive manner.

  “Damn rabbit, talk nonsense again, better believe I’ll slaughter you first!” Wenren Qian Qian threatened.

  “Alright, Niu wants to eat rabbit meat!” Hu Niu immediately targeted the rabbit again.

  Ling Han waved his hand and made Hu Niu bring the little thing over. He looked at the round and fat guy by tossing and turning it, making the little guy quite embarrassed, even using its small claws to cover its groin.

  Pu , it actually spat out a small piece of metal, completely blue, emitting a translucent sparkling hue. It used two front claws to clasp the metal and stared attentively at Ling Han as if to ingratiate with him.

  “All your saliva, at least be particular about gifting it!” Ling Han said with a smile, but he was immediately visibly moved. “This is a precious eighth-tier metal, Jade Sea Azure Metal!”

  Everyone was surprised. A fat rat actually spat out an eighth-tier rare metal; this was very surprising.

  “Hm, could it be a Gold-seeking Rat?” the rabbit said in shock. “According to the legends, this living spirit has special sensory abilities towards rare metals, being able to sense metal buried even several li 1 underground.”

  Gold-seeking Rat!

  Everyone shook their heads, showing that they’d never heard of this name.

  “Rabbit, is that made up?” Zhu Xuan Er said with a smile.

  “Pah, don’t think that you can treat Uncle Rabbit unfairly because you’re a bit prettier!” The rabbit stamped its feet. “You guys haven’t heard of it before, because there are pathetically few Gold-seeking Rats. Although they don’t have any strong powers, they are definitely scarcer than true dragons and true phoenixes.”
