Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

by Flying Alone 孤单地飞

  “Senior Zhang, kill this heaven-daring guy!”

  “Yeah, slaughter this brat so that we can return to the east region. This place’s Spirit Qi is too thin, and staying here one more day would be the loss of one more day.”

  Everyone shouted one after another, hoping that the errand of killing Ling Han would be taken care of quickly so that they could return to the east region as soon as possible.

  Jia Zhang obviously very much wanted to take care of Ling Han, but he knew inside that Ling Han only seemed to be at a disadvantage, but was actually extremely at ease, and he definitely couldn’t take him down in a short amount of time. He couldn’t help but try to taunt him. “Junior, you dodging here and there… exactly how long do you want to dodge? Behind you is the Imperial City, where else can you dodge?”

  Ling Han just happened to be tired of watching. With a smile, he said, “You want to be defeated that badly? Alright, as you wish!”

  He extended his right hand, and golden light radiated instantly. He already operated the Earth Overturning Seal and pressed it towards the opponent.

  This was a Mystical Power!

  Ling Han had already cultivated the Earth Overturning Seal to the point where both hands could execute it simultaneously. He could also use it with one hand. Thus, his battle prowess was only slightly weaker even though he only used the right hand.

  He instantly turned the tables, and on the scene, his imposing manner immediately took the initiative.

  The Heaven Tier elites he’d encountered recently were Xu Xiu Ran, Corpse Two, and the like, making him feel that Heaven Tier elites were very powerful. But now that it changed to Jia Zhang, he instantly felt something different—Heaven Tier was so weak!

  … Jia Zhang could be called a supreme elite in the east region, but he couldn’t possibly compare to Xu Xiu Ran and the others.

  “What!?”

  “Senior Zhang’s actually being suppressed! How’s it possible!?”

  “My God, this must be fake!”

  The east region’s elites all cried out, covering their heads. This was too fake! A Deity Transformation Tier junior was able to pressure a Heaven Tier elite in a fight, and it was also a veteran Heaven Tier warrior who became well known long go.

  Their view on life was about to collapse.

  Another Heaven Tier elite snorted, and said, “Now’s not the time to fight solo. Our mission is to wipe out Great Ling King’s Court, and now the nation’s master is in front of us. Brother Tu, Brother Ma, and Brother Zhang, attack with this old man together and eliminate this junior.”

  “Okay!” The other Heaven Tier elites nodded one after another. Indeed, it wasn’t a martial arts contest, and there wasn’t a need to respect the rule of one versus one.

  A total of seven Heaven Tier elites walked out and surrounded Ling Han.

  Hu Niu instantly jumped out, and said, “Niu will be your opponent!”

  Ling Han laughed, and said, “No, I can take care of them!” Since these people were attacking together, he didn’t need to keep the promise of using only one hand and unleashed the Revere Life Sword at once. With a brandish of the sword, sword light soared into the sky.

  With the blessing of the power of the nation, he deployed the Mysterious Three Thousand, and 3100 rays of sword light burst forth immediately, enveloping the eight Heaven Tier elites at the same time.

  “What!?” Jia Zhang and the others had their eyes popping out with shock. What, what, what… how could there possibly be such a swift and fierce sword art in the world, attacking eight Heaven Tier elites at the same time and making each of them feel that it couldn’t be resisted?

  Their realization came already too late. The sword light swept by, and the eight Heaven Tier warriors fell down, all dying instantly.

  In the east region’s elites camp, only silence remained.

  Too m-fing strong, how could there be such a freak, killing Heaven Tier elites like reaping vegetables?! Could this be a Shattering Void Tier elite?

  How could they resist? They couldn’t resist at all!

  Ling Han put away his sword, and said indifferently, “How about it, who wants to surrender, or still stubbornly resist till the end?”

  The east region’s party’s Heaven Tier warriors had all died in battle, and only Deity Transformation Tier ones remained. Facing Ling Han who was like a god, they no longer had the least bit of desire to fight. Some people surrendered at once, but some people chose to run—they didn’t want to become someone’s servant.

  Hu Niu displayed her prowess and turned into a lightning, grasping one after another. Who could even escape from her hands?

  After luring the enemy to go deep, block the enemy’s retreat and destroy them—the east region’s army was declared completely annihilated.

  Ling Han summoned every single one of them to surrender; faced with death, there were very few people who could look death in the eyes calmly. Besides, they were commanded to attack—they themselves had no unresolvable grievance with Ling Han, so why back it with their lives?

  Could they really have the middle state bestow them a title of a martyr?

  After taking care of the east region’s elites, he had them take back the cities that were seized.

  The east region’s elites were all extremely gloomy; their running back and forth felt just like playing make believe, absolutely like a joke.

  After recovering the lost territory, Ling Han had the east region’s elites return to properly handle the work of east region’s various large sects. After he took down the west region, he would then consider leading an army either north or east.

  After a few more days, the sea race’s people came.

  It was a Shattering Void Tier from Helian Family who brought Helian Rong’s personally written letter and delivered it to Ling Han and Helian Xun Xue to read.

  ….Helian Rong was the current generation’s leader of Helian royal family, and was also called King Helian. He was also Helian Xun Xue’s father.

  The general idea in the letter was that the matter Helian Xunxue mentioned was too shocking; a few words in a letter weren’t enough to convince anyone, and there were many questions that needed Ling Han and Helian Xun Xue to see the north sea’s royal family and personally explain.

  The letter also especially mentioned Ling Jian Xue, whom Helian Rong, his maternal grandfather, wanted to personally see.

  “So?” Helian Xun Xue asked Ling Han.

  Ling Han muttered to himself, and said, “We must go so that we can win over your family. However, we can’t exactly let our guard down, since it can be a trap.”

  “Then what do you plan on doing?” Helian Xun Xue said. If possible, she obviously didn’t want to fall out with her family.

  Ling Han pondered, and said, “Go ask Yi Shuang Shuang. If she’s willing to be our bodyguard, this trip will be safe. However, without her keeping watch over the imperial city, I’m worried that people will take advantage of her absence, which is rather problematic.”

  Helian Xun Xue nodded. Now the five great ancient sects and the Thousand Corpse Sect all had their eyes on Great Ling Empire… although Purple Moon Emperor’s Court tied up the majority of their forces, but to send a few Shattering Void Tier elites was still possible. Who in the Imperial City would able to rival them?

  Ling Han thought it over shortly, shook his head, and said, “Yi Shuang Shuang is not suited to leave. I’ll bring Ice Dragon Ground Blast Formation, which can rival Shattering Void Tier seven stars; on top of Black Tower’s protection, even if there’s a falling out, there’s no need to be afraid.”

  “So it’s really just the two of us going?” Helian Xun Xue was somewhat worried.

  Ling Han smiled, and said, “My father-in-law wants to see his grandson, so we’ll show him.”

  “If that’s the case, then I’ll have to make arrangements, or else if I’
m not here, the matters of the empire would be hopelessly chaotic,” Helian Xun Xue said.

  Ling Han couldn’t help but curl his lips, and said, “You say it like I haven’t done anything.”

  Helian Xun Xue rolled her eyes, and said, “Then tell me, what have you done?”

  Ling Han looked at her slender and alluring figure, and couldn’t help but tease her. “You!”

  Helian Xun Xue was first taken aback, and then came to her senses, pinching Ling Han fiercely—this guy actually made a perverted joke, how truly rascally.

  Yi Shuang Shuang couldn’t leave. The Imperial City was not only the center of the nation, but also Ling Family’s headquarters, so how could a mishap be allowed? If Yi Shuang Shuang didn’t keep watch, Ling Han would definitely put his parents in the Black Tower; after all, he was now a target for all.

  After discussing for a while, Ling Han decided to bring Helian Xun Xue, Hu Niu, and his son to the north sea, not bringing the others.

  Hu Niu hadn’t reached the Shattering Void Tier, but she had extremely fast speed, and even a Shattering Void Tier elite would have a hard time hurting her—she could go anywhere in the world. Besides, was it possible not to bring her…? The little girl was impossible to shake off.

  They entered the desolate north again, and first went to see the situation with the ancient mineshaft in fire country. The black Qi was more and more terrifying, making Ling Han more worried as to when the buried dead people down there would come into the world.

  After taking a glance, they went out to sea and set out towards Helian royal family’s ancestral grounds.

  After martial artists advanced to the Flower Blossom Tier, they broke away from the mortal body, and it didn’t matter if they didn’t breathe or eat—as long as they could absorb Spirit Qi, they could maintain their life force. Reaching Ling Han’s height, their life force was even more formidable, and even without absorbing Spirit Qi, they could still hold out for several tens of years through exhausting their own Origin Power.

  Thus, they held their breath and were like fish in the great sea.

  Helian Xun Xue didn’t even need to hold her breath. She possessed true dragon’s blood, and it was no different for her whether she was in the water and on land; actually, her battle prowess even rose in the sea.

  Ling Han nodded inwardly. In terms of Spirit Qi density, the sea wasn’t superior to the land, but the sea’s Spirit Qi was basically water element. The sea race was also basically water element, so, relatively, the sea race also had an extremely great cultivation advantage.

  The sea was three-dimensional. Only small fish lived in the shallow areas, but after entering the deep sea, all sorts of large fish appeared one by one—super massive species also appeared especially after entering over five thousand meters deep.

  These types of living creatures could easily reach several hundred of meters in size, becoming as large as a mountain—an extremely shocking thing. Even if these living creatures didn’t cultivate, their brute force was terrifyingly great, being able to crush a mountain with a light bump.

  And hearing Helian Xun Xue’s words, this actually wasn’t the largest body type, not even one hundredth of it, which shocked Ling Han. Then once the super-sized sea monsters matured, would they be able to rival the Shattering Void Tier?

  After three days, they were already far from the desolate north. According to Helian Xun Xue, it was about seven days’ journey to Helian royal family’s ancestral grounds.

  Against expectations, Ling Han thought Helian family’s ancestral grounds were deep in the sea, but instead it was on a gigantic island. In reality, the majority of the sea race placed their ancestral grounds on islands because there were super-sized living beings at the bottom of the sea. They weren’t sentient and didn’t cultivate, but they were born with formidable physiques. If the ancestral grounds were set at the bottom of the sea, then they’d risk the danger of them being demolished by these living beings.

  “Then why are you bringing me to the bottom of the sea?” Ling Han couldn’t help but ask.

  Helian Xun Xue smiled, and said, “Since we’re at sea, I obviously want to properly show you the sea race’s sights.”

  Ling Han was speechless.

  After another seven days, they finally arrived at Helian royal family’s ancestral grounds, Dome Cloud Island.

  “Stop! Who dares to barge in recklessly into Helian Family’s territory?” Just when they set foot on the island, they saw two guard-like “people” charge over; their upper body was human, but their lower body was lobster-shaped, astonishing Ling Han.

  “S-seventh Princess!” When they saw Helian Xun Xue, they both knelt down half way in salutation.

  Helian Xun Xue avoiding marriage undoubtedly made Helian and the Xianyu royal family pursue her together, but Helian royal family never said they abolished Helian Xun Xue’s position as a princess. Her bloodline was extremely rare and noble, and she definitely wouldn’t be demoted just like that.

  If that was the case, how could these two lobster guards dare not to be respectful?

  Helian Xun Xue waved her hand, and said, “I want to see my father.”

  “Yes, this subordinate will immediately go report it!” A lobsterman turned and left. Actually, even if Helian Xun Xue didn’t say so, they would do so. Helian Xun Xue now carried the status of an “escapee,” and the Helian Family was constantly searching for her.

  Ling Han stroked his chin. The saying “the ugly bride isn’t afraid to meet her parents-in-law” was true, and now that it was his turn to meet the father-in-law, he really felt somewhat nervous.

  Chapter 781 - Show of Strength

  Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

  Shortly, several powerful figures appeared, and although they retracted their powerful presence, they still revealed silhouettes of sun, moon, and stars as their eyes opened and closed—terrifyingly shocking.

  They were definitely Shattering Void Tier powerhouses.

  “Xun Xue!” the man in the middle said. Wearing a multi-colored embroidered robe, he was tall and well-built, with two small buns on his head that looked as if horns that were about to grow out. It was an obvious characteristic of a dragon’s descendant, but not everyone was like this. For example, Helian Xun Xue, who didn’t have any defined dragon race’s characteristics, but her bloodline was considerably pure and strong.

  “My respects to the king!” Helian Xun Xue bowed. Not to mention that the other party was Helian family’s chief and her father, the Shattering Void Tier alone commanded respect.

  Ling Han pondered, and said, “I am Ling Han, respects to the north sea Helian family’s seniors!”

  The Helian Family didn’t clearly express whether they accepted him as a son-in-law, so Ling Han obviously wasn’t willing to be enthusiastic to a cold crowd, but intended on taking things step by step instead. You guys were the one who invited me to come, so release a friendly signal.

  “Hmph!” Except for Helian Rong, the other five people glanced at Ling Han, revealing displeased looks.

  It was this man who destroyed Helian and Xianyu’s cooperative relationship—he truly deserved to be killed!

  Helian Rong nodded, and said, “Let’s talk after we enter the room.”

  The six people turned, while Helian Xun Xue signaled at Ling Han with her eyes, and followed behind them.

  Ling Han pulled on Hu Niu’s hand and walked forward while saying in low voice, “Would your father lure us in and then lock up and beat us?”

  Although his voice was low, Helian Rong and the other five were powerful, and couldn’t possibly not hear it; their faces twitched, and they had an urge to give Ling Han a sound thrashing.

  Helian Xun Xue also appeared awkward, glaring at Ling Han. This guy was actually still fooling around… If she didn’t have a son with him, she really wanted to give him a fierce whipping.

  The group walked into a hall, where many people were already seated; many more people were still on th
eir way, young and old. The seniors had seats, while the juniors could only stand in the surrounding, but there were also exceptions—a few youngsters full of martial spirit received seats that were quite near the front.

  They should be the leading figures of Helian family’s next generation if they could qualify to be bestowed with a seat.

  Ling Han took a glance. The majority of these youngsters were in the Deity Transformation Tier, but there were two that advanced into the Heaven Tier but were somewhat older. It couldn’t be discerned from their looks, but judging from their Qi and blood, they should be forty to fifty years old—it couldn’t be judged very accurately.

  “Xun Xue, you ran from the marriage without permission, do you know your crimes?” an old man suddenly opened up with an intense interrogative tone, his voice rumbling.

  A show of strength?

  Ling Han came out boldly with a smile, and said, “Everybody, this time, we, husband and wife, accepted the invitation and came to the sea race, to discuss the matter of the settling, so why suddenly mention Xun Xue? If that’s the case, we can only turn around and leave.”

  “Outrageous human, you dare to be impudent in front of this old man!” the old man shouted furiously. He was a Shattering Void Tier elite, and with his fury, his aura rippled and instantly made many people feel oppression in their chests; even their flesh was about to rupture.

  Ling Han was unafraid. When he and Helian Xun Xue rushed here, Helian Rong and the other five Shattering Void Tier elites personally greeted them, and although Helian Rong didn’t say any words of welcome, it was a sort of declaration of position, a considerably high standard and treatment.

  Thus, it could be thought of as them playing good cop bad cop, white and black. They were showing good will previously, and now someone was playing bad cop, giving Ling Han a show of strength… if Ling Han didn’t come out boldly, he would obviously be looked down upon. Seeing his own wife being reprimanded and refusing to confront it, what good was there keeping such a man?
