Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

A dog that bit would not bark; the strongest killing sword naturally didn’t require an extravagant appearance to show off its power.
It was a sword of massacre; its everything was meant to kill.
Xu Xiu Ran was surprised. Naturally, he was able to recognize that this was not the Level Ten Spirit Tool previously used by Ling Han. Ling Han was certainly aware of Absolute Saber’s power. Nevertheless, he had switched to another sword to fight it. What was the meaning of this?
Could it be that this sword was stronger?
He really didn’t believe it. Would it be so easy to get a Tenth Tier Spirit Tool? Even Shattering Void Tier elites wouldn’t be able to have one in each hand. Did he think that the quantity of Level Ten precious metals was too much to count? It was incredible enough to possess one, but to be able to switch to another?
It was really hard to believe!
Hong , the Absolute Saber took the initiative to kill and smashed towards Ling Han.
The Revere Life Sword had also come out from under Ling Han’s control, and automatically flew up as unlimited Sword Ray dazzled around it. It shot towards the Absolute Saber.
Peng!
The two exceptional Spirit Tools collided powerfully. In the terrifying aftermath, everything was shaken; the earth was suddenly split open, and the sun in the sky was also on the verge of collapse. The sun was a gigantic ball of fire itself. How could it hold such a strong impact?
After a single blow, the Absolute Saber and the Revere Life Sword were both thrust back in succession. The Absolute Saber emitted black light and shadow, while Revere Life Sword then led the way with endless white light. The two had divided the world into black and white, absolutely in opposition to one another.
Xu Xiu Ran expression finally changed; the Absolute Saber had not gained the upper hand!
How was that possible!?
The Absolute Saber was a weapon used by a powerful god during ancient times. Originally, it was just an ordinary weapon. The material used was at most of Level Three, but having been nourished gently and unceasingly with the essence of the powerful god, this saber had gradually detached itself from the womb of the ordinary and became a genuine heavenly saber.
That powerful god was the backbone of the saber. Therefore, even though it had gone through thousands of years, so much so that this saber had been damaged, if there was still a part of the saber left, it would still be the most powerful Spirit Tool in the world!
Among Level Ten Spirit Tools, this one could definitely be included in the top ten. Even being placed within the top three would not be an exaggeration.
However, the very same saber had been blocked.
What kind of sword was that? It was too much in defiance of the natural order!
Ling Han smiled lightly, and said, “It seems that our Spirit Tools cannot be used.” Now the two precious weapons had activated, fighting independently among themselves. Neither Ling Han nor Xu Xiu Ran could intervene. How capable were they to interfere with the battle among Shattering Void Tier creations?
However, Ling Han possessed quite a lot of Spirit Tools.
He instantly took out Demon Birth Sword, and said, “Come, let’s fight!”
Despite Xu Xun Ran’s temperament, he couldn’t help but want to curse. This fellow still had yet another Level Ten Spirit Tool!
Fortunately, if the Level Ten Spirit Tool had not awakened, then fighting against it wasn’t an impossibility.
He used the palm of his hand like a saber—with the Absolute Saber, how could he still spare other sabers a glance and need other sabers? Now, he would have to beat Ling Han with his bare hands.
Chapter 735 - The Flame King Makes a Move

“Heng!” A horrifying aura shook the earth as a figure flitted over with such astonishing speed that even the light rays emitted by the Absolute Saber and the Revere Life Sword also would not be able to conceal him.
This man was of a tall and broad stature, with his upper body bare, the bulging muscles in clear view. He remained afloat in midair akin to a high mountain, which people could only look up at.
“Lord Gu Lin!” Xu Xiu Ran hastily bowed in a respectful manner.
This was a Shattering Void Tier elite; if not, even a Heaven Tier elite simply could not break into the combat range of the Absolute Saber and the Revere Life Sword.
“The Earth Overturning Seal Mystical Power is on this person?” Gu Lin asked. He was an elite cultivator of the Earth Dragon Sect, and naturally was renowned for his physical skills; he did not need Origin Power to defend his physical body. Thus, he just allowed the sword and saber to slash forth onto his chest, which resulted in a burst of innumerable flying sparks, yet either was unable to even injure him in the least.
After all, these were but the aftermath of the combat.
“Precisely so, My Lord!” Xu Xiu Ran answered respectfully.
Gu Lin nodded and immediately struck out with a palm to grab Ling Han.
As a Shattering Void Tier elite, he naturally had no need to heed any rules of conduct, and had the liberty to act as he pleased. So what if he offended all the elites of the entire world? If he intended to flee, then he definitely would be able to flee. As a result, his nature was wilful, of course.
Facing just a puny Spiritual Infant Tier junior, he naturally did not need to take him seriously, and couldn’t even bother with an interrogation—wasn’t it better to just directly seize him?
At that moment, Ling Han wanted to enter into the Black Tower. It definitely was not possible for him to oppose the attack a Shattering Void Tier elite made—unless the Demon Birth Sword once again acted on its own and came back to life. However, that sword now was not showing any response, so evidently it was not going to get him out of this predicament.
“Really promising, you even struck out against a junior!” A disdainful voice drifted over, and a huge hand pressed down and hit Gu Lin’s palm.
The huge palms, which each seemed as huge as a mountain peak, that stretched forth were formed of Origin Power. Expectedly, it caused immediate thunderous rumble in the wake of their collision, exuding terrifying strength all around, making the sun in the sky flicker waveringly for an instant almost like it was going to die out.
A man with his body engulfed in flames emerged. He had a slender figure, his long hair draped over his shoulders, and his hair was similarly also entwined in flames, dancing dearly around his locks. Multiple blooms of Dao made up of flames burst forth at his feet, making him akin to the embodiment of a King of Flames.
“Flame King!” Gu Lin gave a muffled snort as killing intent in his gaze flared up. He demanded, “You dare to meddle in others’ business?”
“Whatever I want to do, what business is it of yours?” the Flame King replied with nonchalance.
“Heng, better scram this instant if you don’t want to see your downfall here!” Gu Lin shouted.
The Flame King held both his hands behind his back, and responded, “Could it be that you didn’t know that this is a historical site left behind by the ancient dynasty we’ve founded countless years ago? The Earth Overturning Seal that you covet is precisely the Mystical Power mastered by Seventh, the Earth Spirit King. Since I am already here, how could I sit by and watch this Mystical Power fall into the hands of the five great sects?”
Gu Lin was stunned. No wonder the Purple Moon Kingdom was so powerful—at that time, they wiped out the five great sects, and nearly broke off and ended their legacy. Were it not for the fact that the five great sects had their roots in the Immortal Realm, they really would possibly have disappeared forever.
Could the Mystical Power actually be passed on? What kind of notion was this?
It meant this Mystical Power had reached the level of great accomplishment!
The Flame King seemingly had no interest whatsoever in this Mystical Power, and yet what did this imply?
Thinking up to this point, Gu Lin immediately shuddered in fea
r. The Purple Moon Kingdom was staging a comeback, so could they really reenact the glory of a good many thousand years ago? No, no, no, this time, their strength was much, much stronger, and elites of the Shattering Void Tier had also increased more than fourfold; moreover, the natural environment had also reached the summit in these ten thousand years, giving rise to innumerable geniuses’ appearance.
Looking from the other way around, though the Purple Moon Kingdom had changed its name, its strength was unlikely to have many changes.
He calmed down his nerves as he answered in a composed manner, “Since you do not want it, why bother meddling in other people’s business?”
“Hahaha, I do not want it, but also cannot let an idiot like you gain from it.” The Flame King sneered. “Furthermore, this Mystical Power was taken out from the Library by this person. He was chosen by the Mystical Power, so how could it be coveted by idiots like you?”
Gu Lin could not restrain the fury that was raging through him. He was an impressive Shattering Void Tier elite, and now, being repeatedly called an idiot, how could he tolerate such insult?
“Then I shall kill you first!” Gu Lin sneered, the shadow of a big serpent manifesting behind him, abruptly twisting forth in the direction of the Flame King.
The Flame King stretched out his right hand and grasped, and boom , an enormous fiery tiger as big as a mountain jumped to meet that big serpent head on.
Peng, peng, peng , the big serpent and the fiery tiger were locked in fierce combat, but before long, it was already painfully obvious which was the stronger of the two. The big serpent was defeated, with its head being stepped on underneath the paws of the fiery tiger, expending its strength in useless struggle.
“Trash.” The Flame King coldly scoffed.
Gu Lin was indignant, but his strength was evidently inferior in comparison, so what could he do about it. At that time, the Eight Great Kings could already wipe out the five great sects, and it was for no other reason than that these Eight Great Kings being indeed incomparably powerful.
“Hehe, Flame King, how greatly imposing!” Another person’s shadow appeared, completely fearless of the combat between the Absolute Saber and the Revere Life Sword.
It was a man as mild as jade, bearing a slender figure, and with a long sword behind his back. He had a divine air around him, but the most peculiar part was his eyes—the pupils were actually two swords, looking extremely weird and bizarre.
“You are the garbage of the Heaven’s Sword Sect, right?” The Flame King swept his gaze over casually, seemingly unconcerned with the two formidable Shattering Void Tier elites.
“Heaven’s Sword Sect, Ma Yu Tang, greets the Flame King,” this sword-bearing man remarked as he warmly smiled, and even clasped his hands in greeting.
The Flame King paid him no heed and just gazed at Ling Han as he said, “Young man, your luck is not bad. This sword was made by His Imperial Majesty’s own hands, and you have also obtained our seventh brother’s Mystical Power. Seems like you are destined to have fate with our Purple Moon Kingdom.
“Just leave, the present situation is not something one with your kind of skills could engage in.”
Ling Han naturally had no intention to interfere in a fight between Shattering Void Tiers. He retrieved the Revere Life Sword at once and, taking along Zhu Xuan Er, immediately executed the motion technique to depart, Hu Niu and Rabbit naturally following near behind.
“Did I say you could leave?” Gu Lin stretched out his hand to grab in Ling Han’s direction.
Boom , flames swept across, forcefully compelling Gu Lin to retreat. It was precisely the Flame King who made a move. He then proudly growled. “I already said they could leave, yet you still dare to make a move? Is this not courting death?”
“Heng, now is not like how it was at that time. The Purple Moon Kingdom has long become nothing but history already. Antiques like the lot of you should also thoroughly disappear, you already do not belong to this era anymore,” Gu Lin retorted.
Ma Yu Tang also made a move and struck forth, grasping in the direction of Ling Han. There was a Mystical Power on this fellow, so he absolutely could not be allowed to leave.
The Flame King once again struck out with a fist and held back Ma Yu Tang as well. He loftily laughed, and jeered, “I am still here and you lot still want to create trouble?”
“Team up!” Ma Yu Tang and Gu Lin both exchanged a look of mutual agreement as they successively struck forth in a joint attack against the Flame King.
The Flame King roared with hearty laughter, his figure rapidly expanding, turning into a giant flaming man the size of which was as much as 30 meters. His whole body was covered in shining golden patterns, which then transformed into chains that twined around his whole body.
“Regulation, the power of regulation!” Ma Yu Tang’s expression changed all of a sudden.
Chapter 736 - Earth Overturning Seal

Having the Flame King to fend off the pursuers, Ling Han naturally escaped with ease. He very quickly came upon the Herb Garden area, but did not waste time to scout around, but rather directly passed through all the way while heading in the direction out of the Mystery Realm.
He was deep in thought while he moved, pondering his next course of action.
After killing both Mao Jun and Qi Li Guo, could he still return to the Restore Heaven Academy?
These two were not exactly just simple Deity Transformation Tier warriors only, for they also held the title of teachers of the Restore Heaven Academy. Going against one’s elders, especially murdering one’s teacher, was considered as an act wicked beyond redemption in the world of martial arts… although Ling Han had never even met them before.
The key point was, the stance of the Alchemist Society was too ambiguous as they did not recognize his status as a Heaven Grade Alchemist all this while. Otherwise, so what if he had slain two Deity Transformation Tiers—what were they going to do?
Oftentimes, status was really very important.
The most important thing was, he still had the Earth Overturning Seal on him, and the elites from the five great sects eyeing it definitely would not be few. Who could guarantee that some bastard would not suddenly make a move and directly search his soul for the secret?
Leaving aside the rest, just looking at how Mao Jun and Qi Li Guo behaved, he would already have known that the five great sects, should they want to be shameless, could really show a total disregard of shame to the most extreme extent.
Ling Han reconsidered and gave up. His staying at the Restore Heaven Academy was because of wanting to take in followers, but now there was the Rain Emperor and Murong Qing to take care of that, and they seemingly also had no need of him… When it came to taking in followers, definitely the Rain Emperor was even more skilled at it given he was originally an emperor, adept at winning the hearts of the people, good at judging rewards and punishment as appropriate. He naturally was exceptionally good at it.
In that case, he could just leave it to these two brothers of his.
“Then I shall just portray the image of a disciple who was forced to turn against the Restore Heaven Academy, and start a dispute with them.” A smile broke out on Ling Han’s face. Before long, he could already break through to the Deity Transformation Tier, and by then, his battle prowess would allow him to match the Heaven Tier. By then, in the world, those that could suppress him would really be miserably few, and he would already possess the qualifications to run wild.
He decided to join the armed forces of the Flame King to hasten the downfall of the five great sects. He also would not know when the ten thousand years’ period would end. Perhaps in a few years, or maybe a hundred, the five sects of the Immortal Realm would act and begin the concocting and refining of the Realm Pill.
Wipe out the five great sects as soon as possible, unifying the entire world under one ruler to get rid of the last obstacle in the course of splitting open the skies.
Zhu Xuan Er, Hu Niu, and Rabbit naturally would not have any comments. As for Yuan Cheng He and Li Feng Yu and his sister, Ling Han also did not intend to bring them along with him. He’d just let them return to the Academy—when the time to fight came, he’d just give a clarion call and have them change sides.
He kept Zhu Xuan Er and Rabbit in the Black Tower, launching the Thunderclap Ninth Heaven as he hurried on his journey at full speed. Hu Niu also similarly transformed into a lightning bolt and followed closely beside Ling Han, seemingly still with more than enough strength.
On the other hand, the Gold-Seeking Rat was still being carried along by Ling Han. It’d occasionally still discover the whereabouts of precious metals, which Ling Han would then collect in passing. Although it wasted some time, it did not have too much of an impact.
Seven days later, he finally flew out of the Mystery Realm, and remained nearby the armed forces of the Flame King while he awaited the latter’s appearance.
Of course, he did not just sit around waiting, and immediately entered the Black Tower to begin studying the Earth Overturning Seal.
Judging from Flame King’s words, it seemed that the Eight Great Kings had each mastered a Mystical Power, and moreover had perfected them to a great extent, for only then could they have passed on that Mystical Power, and the Thunderclap Ninth Heaven was also left by one person among them.
What made Ling Han feel perplexed was something else—why did the Eight Great Kings not learn from each other? In that way, everyone would have grasped all eight Mystical Powers, and how awesome would that be?
“Is it being a case of biting more than one could chew?” he muttered to himself, then chuckled as it occurred to him that he had not actually seen the Eight Great Kings striking out with their full strength—how would he know if they had not mastered all the eight Mystical Powers?
“Ah, eight Mystical Powers, just thinking about it already makes one feel a little excited!” Ling Han smilingly remarked, but on second thought, no matter how many Mystical Powers he possessed, he might not necessarily be able to put all of them to good use at the same time. For instance, so what if he had learned two archery-type Mystical Powers if he could only use one at one time. Furthermore, dividing one’s energy between two Mystical Powers that were almost identical in nature was indeed pretty much a waste of time.
