Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

  F***!

  Ling Han was swearing in his heart, it was clearly because he was slashed by the other that he missed, short by a mere hair’s breadth difference at that.

  Damn him!

  “Hehe, youngster, this is a lesson for you, next time don’t be so impulsive!” the person who delivered that slash spoke from behind Ling Han, his words filled with delight at Ling Han’s predicament.

  Earlier, he slashed for he, firstly, indeed felt annoyed, and secondly, when he chanced upon the light sphere descending towards the direction that Ling Han was precisely rushing to, he was immediately filled with envy. If I could not get it, why should I let you get it?

  Such a trifling Spiritual Infant Tier junior, he naturally had nothing to fear from him given he was at the peak of the Deity Transformation Tier and his battle prowess had exceeded nine Battle Stars!

  How could it be that this little junior still dared to retaliate against him in a bid to even the score?

  Ling Han did really feel like killing someone, but when his gaze swept across the light spheres in the sky, he actually forcibly held back the urge. He had to start afresh to seek it out, then lock onto that light sphere and calculate when would be the next time it was going to descend and where was the location it would land at.

  There was only a day’s time, and according to the sequence from before, it appeared he only had one last chance left.

  Chapter 730 - Capture Successful

  Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

  That Deity Transformation Tier cultivator saw Ling Han, and could not restrain the smirk appearing at the corners of his mouth. This, in his view, was a thing to be expected as a matter of course—merely a Spiritual Infant Tier cultivator would also dare to challenge him?

  “Heng, I reckon you are sensible!” Beside that Deity Transformation Tier, there was another junior, and he stared at Ling Han with disdain, yet in fact, there was profound envy hidden in the depths of his eyes.

  Certainly, both of them were of nearly the same age—strictly speaking, he was even older by five to six years—yet he had just broken through to the Flower Blossom Tier, while Ling Han was already in the Spiritual Infant Tier, which made it a difference of a whole cultivation tier. Upon calculating, how much older was he than Ling Han? At least ten years!

  He was only over twenty years old, having cultivated for no more than over ten years, yet their difference was ten years, what kind of notion was this? There was such an enormous gap in both their talents.

  Ling Han swept a glance over, and mentally took note of these two’s appearance.

  F***, I did not display my prowess, and you all really think that I’m a weakling?

  “Stop staring, stare some more and I will dig out your eyeballs!” That junior glared, his face looking absolutely ferocious.

  He was called Zhou Yu Cheng. This time, he came out together with his Third Elder, Zhou De Yuan. He was young and the one with the best talent in three generations of the Zhou Clan—he was only twenty-four years old, and had already broken through to the Flower Blossom Tier. It was extremely likely that he would achieve the Deity Transformation Tier in the future.

  The Zhou Clan was a clan on the level of the Deity Transformation Tier, with four clansmen on such level. This kind of existence, with Third Elder Zhou De Yuan as the strongest, had achieved the pinnacle of the Deity Transformation Tier.

  In the Zhou Clan, Zhou Yu Cheng was fully deserving of the title number one genius, and was also similarly considered to be one of the existences to be reckoned with within the surrounding radius of a thousand miles. The geniuses that could stand beside him on an equal footing were few in number.

  But if placed in the middle state, he could only be termed as a genius; there was still a huge difference between him and first-class geniuses and super geniuses—for instance, him not being able to get into the Restore Heaven Academy directly.

  Thus, after not being able to pass the admission test of the Restore Heaven Academy, he became excessively hateful of those who were more of a genius than him, wanting to exterminate any that he encountered, possessing a kind of morbid obsession.

  Ling Han retracted his gaze and his attention returned to that light sphere once again.

  Earth Overturning Seal, a Mystical Power!

  In comparison, the incessant chatter of this kind of nobodies was nothing but superficial; in future, simply dealing him a killing slap to finish him off would do. Whereas, if because of such a trivial thing he let slip a Mystical Power, then that would be a massive loss, and a loss he could ill afford.

  Zhou Yu Cheng could not help but feel pleased with himself. So what if you are a genius, can you win against someone in the Deity Transformation Tier?

  Zhou De Yuan also did not pay further attention to Ling Han, for his focus now was naturally on capturing a light sphere. If he could just obtain a first-class cultivation technique, perhaps he could then make that crucial step to break through into becoming a Heaven Tier existence.

  That would be really awesome.

  Zhu Xuan Er and Rabbit’s efforts were also fruitful. After managing to get a light sphere each, they were both delivered outside.

  The duration that allowed one day and one night was almost up, and the light sphere that Ling Han had been staring fixedly at all this while descended from the sky once more.

  Ling Han had long since rushed forth, stretching out his hand to quickly grab it.

  But at this time, another hand stretched out, similarly grabbing towards the light sphere.

  That person was really lucky. Naturally, it was not that he had calculated the descending path of the light sphere, but rather was originally standing there, and by coincidence, the light sphere crashed in his direction, making it seem like the light sphere was voluntarily throwing itself into his arms of its own accord.

  And that person also did not hold back, stretched out his hand to swiftly grasp it, and touched upon the light sphere at practically the same time as Ling Han.

  It was Xuanyuan Zi Guang!

  Ling Han was somewhat faintly surprised. He already knew beforehand that this person, classified as the super lucky person, the kind that not only did not perish after falling down a cliff, but also obtained ancient treasures ofpredecessors 1 . Currently, this so-called ‘lucky attribute’ was also put in action as the Earth Overturning Seal willingly hurled itself into his bosom, making Ling Han feel totally envious.

  Ai, some people are really born with a lucky life.

  But Ling Han was actually even more confident, because what he depended on was actual strength.

  Actual strength would always be there, moreover it’d only continuously elevate. As for luck, there would inevitably come a time when it was used up, or a time when it was ineffective. Furthermore, having too much good luck, progressing too smoothly all the time, was not at all benefiting one’s advance on the path of martial arts.

  “Ling Han!” Xuanyuan Zi Guang also caught sight of Ling Han, and could not restrain the reflexive roar that escaped his mouth. He especially detested Ling Han—not only had Ling Han defeated him again and again, which was a heavy blow to his confidence, but Ling Han had also snatched away the apple of his eye.

  And yet now, he still wanted to fight with him over a secret technique?

  A divine light was seen surging throughout his body, which made him appear like a deity descending from the heavens above, mighty beyond words. That was the armored attire he was wearing on his body—now there were several hundred patterns, every single one shining, setting off over a thousand rays of light, swiftly slashing towards Ling Han.

  It was a Spirit Tool that was possibly at Level Eight.

  Xuanyuan Zi Guang’s luck was really so strong that it could even defy the will of the gods; he absolutely did not have this treasured tool before. He merely ventured out and picked up a Spirit Tool, Bell of Heaven and Earth’s Fate.

  Ling Han was fearless; his body emitted light just like a treasured tool.


  You’re depending on the Spirit Tool to become strong, however, I, on the other hand, am personally this strong on my own. Who is more awesome?

  Shua, shua, shua. The rays from the treasured tool continuously slashed onto Ling Han’s body, slicing open his clothing and slashing his body; every single part of his skin and muscle was moving as if they had a will of their own.

  The attacks from the Spirit Tool were all rendered unsuccessful.

  Peng!

  Ling Han threw out a punch, and how could Xuanyuan Zi Guang block it? He instinctively jumped backward as he retreated seven steps consecutively. HIs face was bright red and became pale after that as he gasped for air, losing his breath and almost lost consciousness on the spot.

  His expression was unsightly; he was no match for Ling Han before, and he was still no match for Ling Han now—even with the aid of a Spirit Tool, it was still no good. Why was the disparity between them getting more and more prominent?

  He was one who had the luck of Heaven and Earth on his side!

  Ling Han smiled subtly; he had finally captured that light sphere. Pa , the the light sphere was smashed to pieces, and the writings on it instantly vanished, while it also became dull; within it was a green-colored bead.

  The passing on of Mystical Powers was all non-verbal.

  “Earth Overturning Seal, Mystical Power technique!” Xuanyuan Zi Guang bellowed, and pointed at Ling Han with his right hand. “Return the Mystical Power to me!”

  All of a sudden, nearly all gazes—about two-thirds of them—simultaneously rested upon Ling Han, and none of them was not filled with greed.

  Mystical Power… though no one had ever evaluated the grades of the Mystical Powers, legend had it that a Mystical Power was even more awesome than a Heaven Grade cultivation technique, deemed to be the secret technique cultivated by the deities and lost within the mortal world.

  Who would not be envious?

  Ling Han’s figure flashed, and he had already left the library—he had obtained a secret technique and was delivered outside.

  “Ling Han!” Hu Niu and the rest all greeted him.

  Ling Han nodded, and said, “Get ready to flee.”

  “Going on the run again?” Hu Niu said with a face full of smiles, and clapped her small hands. “It’s such fun, let’s see who can run the fastest!”

  “Hehe, where do you think you’re fleeing to?” A group of people chased out of the library. They were not transported out of the library—rather, they came out on their own, and as such they were naturally slightly slower.

  Zhou De Yuan gazed at Ling Han, and remarked with indifference, “Hand over the Mystical Power and I shall let you live!”

  Ling Han could not hold back the murderous aura in him from spilling forth; earlier, it was because of prioritizing the Earth Overturning Seal that he did not deign to seek to get even with the other, yet, unexpectedly, here he was actually turning up of his own volition. Ling Han replied nonchalantly, “Oh? And why should I?”

  Zhou De Yuan’s conceit was obvious; it was apparent that he was very full of himself as he clasped both hands behind his back in a relaxed manner, and drawled, “Your intellect is really worrisome. It is impossible for you to retain this Mystical Power no matter what. The only choice you have is whether or not you want to lose your life as well.”

  Chapter 732 - Shamelessness that knows no bounds

  Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

  Zhou De Yuan barely managed to turn his body around, and looked blankly at Ling Han as

  he uttered, “How… did…” He remained unable to comprehend the reason for his demise.

  Just what had brought about his fatal downfall? After all, it was only his heart that had been punctured.

  This was naturally because the Demon Birth Sword was a Level Ten Spirit Tool—although

  Ling Han was unable to bring out its true impressive ability into full play, being solidly

  pierced through by it with one strike, the body had immediately been taken over by the sword intent wreaking utter destruction, and it would not be too far-fetched to say that even Heaven Tier elites would not be able to withstand it.

  Otherwise, it would be rather too shoddy for a Level Ten Spirit Tool.

  Ling Han had no intention to respond to a dead man, much less a shameless one at that.

  Was there a need to satisfy the other’s curiosity? He pulled out the sword and leveled his

  gaze at Zhou Yu Cheng.

  “No!” Zhou Yu Cheng hastily made a run for it.

  Pu!

  He only managed to take three steps, whereupon he felt a jolt in his body as pain exploded in his chest—only then did he realize that a sharp arrow created by Origin Power had already punctured his body. He stretched out his hand, seemingly like he wanted to grasp onto something, but fell down with a loud crash nevertheless, completely lifeless.

  Pa, pa, pa , someone applauded. They only saw that an old man in a gray cloak came forth as he clapped his hands, and he was full of praises. “I would expect no less of a genius from the

  Restore Heaven Academy, exceeding the gap of an entire cultivation tier and destroying the enemy.”

  “Who are you?” Ling Han asked with indifference.

  “Is this any way to greet a senior? Where are your manners?” the gray-cloaked old man

  admonished with apparent slight displeasure. “I am from the Azure Thunder Sect, and also a

  teacher in the Restore Heaven Academy. Now that you have met me, quickly give me your

  greetings and use proper address!”

  Ling Han gave a short laugh, and responded, “Talking about proper etiquette with me? Fine, I

  will have a talk about proper etiquette with you. I am a Heaven Grade Alchemist, considered

  to be on par with Heaven Tier, and you are but a puny Deity Transformation Tier warrior. Now that you have met me, quickly give me your greetings and use proper address!”

  Indeed, a Heaven Grade Alchemist was considered to be on par with Heaven Tier. Actually, as the Heaven Tier elites still needed the former to concoct pills for their use, such an alchemist’s status was even higher than theirs, and even the Shattering Void Tier also needed to give him face somewhat.

  Furthermore, he was still only a Heaven Grade Low Level Alchemist—if one had already become Heaven Grade Medium Level Alchemist, in other words, a Saint Grade Alchemist, then even Shattering Void Tier elites also had to receive them as a distinguished guest. What a pity that, at present, there was only the Ling Han from ten thousand years ago who had achieved such a high level. Although later generations had produced Heaven Grade Alchemists, all were only Heaven Grade Low Level, and not qualified to have Shattering Void Tier elites bow to them.

  But even if he was a Heaven Grade Low Level Alchemist, it was more than enough to be used as a scare tactic for Deity Transformation Tier cultivators.

  Mao Jun could not help but be struck speechless. This was indeed a problem. After taking a look at Ling Han, because of his age, he subconsciously overlooked the high level he had achieved on the path of alchemy.

  Among anyone who wanted to become a Heaven Grade Alchemist, which one was not a three or even four hundred year old ancient monster? Even when the past Ling Han broke through to the level of Saint Grade Alchemist, that was also when he was nearing two hundred years of age.

  “Pay your greetings quickly!” Ling Han’s tongue was as sharp as lightning, striking straight into one’s spirit. “Don’t tell me that people from the five great sects can disregard rules and act insolently towards a Heaven Grade Alchemist?”

  “Hehe, just because you say you are a Heaven Grade Alchemist, it means you are one?” Another old man came forth. He was also garbed in a gray cloak, but he was taller than Mao Jun by half a head. “Then I even can say I am a Saint Grade Alchemist. Why don’t you come over and pay your respects?”

  “Right, you expect us to just foolishly take your word for it just because you said so? You are just
an insignificant brat!” Mao Jun also had a total change in his demeanor. “Produce your Alchemist Identification, and I will absolutely act whatever way you want me to act! But… if you deliberately pretended to be a Heaven Grade Alchemist to deceive the five great sects, then what?”

  Everybody knew that the Alchemist Society did not actually announce Ling Han as the third Heaven Grade Alchemist to the world, so Ling Han naturally also could not possibly possess any proof of Identification.

  Mao Jun used this as a counter… If you can’t prove that you are really a Heaven Grade Alchemist, then you are going against your elders, this is a big disrespect!

  At this moment, the other gray-cloaked old man gestured with his hand, and said, “Since you are a disciple of the Restore Heaven Academy, we still have to grant you an opportunity to make amends! Ling Han, you have obtained a Mystical Power, very good, offer it to the Academy and it could be recorded as a great merit for you!”

  “Such secret techniques, of course, have to remain in the Academy and be given to the most suitable person to cultivate!” Mao Jun immediately added.

  The other gray-cloaked old man turned towards the people behind him, and asked, “You all, is that not right?”

  “Elder Qi is right!” Many nodded their heads in succession; most of them were disciples of the Restore Heaven Academy, while a minority were disciples of the five great sects.

  “Ling Han, quickly hand over the Mystical Power!”

  “Right, this is not something a puny Spiritual Infant Tier warrior like you could possess!”

  “Such secret techniques naturally will need the Academy to judge who is the most appropriate to learn it.”

  These people kept on pointing fingers at Ling Han while shouting with indignant looks, seeming as if like the secret technique that Ling Han had snatched away was theirs.

  Ling Han shook his head and sighed. “Could the lot of you be any more shameless than this?”

  “Ling Han, do you intend to ignore the big picture here?” Mao Jun exclaimed in a thick voice. “Disasters could possibly befall the world at any time! If this Mystical Power were to be handed to the mightiest of the five great sects to cultivate, it will give more assurance in resisting against adversities and calamities in the future. You, for the sake of your own power, actually cast aside the safety of the people with disregard? People like you, heng, so selfish…!”
