For example, one who was birthed in the form of a dragon would only need to grow without cultivating, and after maturity, they would be the strongest true dragon in the world—at least in the vast lands.
“Hahahaha!” Hu Niu, however, couldn’t bear it, laughing loudly as she said, “Ling Han, Ling Han, do you think this duck is better eaten stewed or roasted?”
With that said, Helian Rong and the others cried out ‘not good’ inwardly. This man wasn’t of the normal sea race, but a fierce general under Xianyu royal family, named Ou Buluo, a dignified Shattering Void Tier elite!
At the moment, the old grievances with Xianyu Clan hadn’t been resolved, yet you were freaking ridiculing their general. Was this not causing more trouble?
As expected, Ou Buluo revealed a furious expression, and said, “Very well, so it turns out Lord Helian and his company want to eat this general!”
“Hehe, she misspoke, General Ou is a valiant general under Xianyu King. Who dares to disrespect General Ou?” Helian Rong said indifferently. His position was above Ou Buluo, and even if he interceded on behalf of Hu Niu, his manner was still imposing.
Ou Buluo obviously wouldn’t fuss about a little girl, since he would be the only one to lose face. He swung his hands, and said, “The king has waited respectfully for many days, please come!” His gaze swept by Ling Han, carrying a chill.
Chapter 786 - Block Ten Moves
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ling Han killed Xianyu Cheng and XIanyu Dongming by executing them publicly, an act which was a great humiliation to the Xianyu royal family. Every single one of them hated Ling Han to the bones, viewing him as a mortal enemy.
Now that this mortal enemy appeared, it would be strange if Ou Buluo still had a pleasant expression on his face.
The party landed on the island. The inhabitants here were either Xianyu royal family, or the royal family’s subordinate forces, so their strength was considerably out of the ordinary.
However, no matter how extraordinary, they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly in front of Shattering Void Tier elites. As Ling Han and the others walked by, everyone trembled with fear, barely being able to stand.
Under the guidance of Ou Buluo, they arrived at Xianyu clan’s royal palace.
Although they were also called royal families, they didn’t establish a nation, and simply corresponded as the three great royal families. This was the same as the Ao Family—king of the four seas, called an imperial clan, yet they didn’t establish a nation and simply kept watch and regulated, being respected by the four seas.
“Lord Helian!” Xianyu royal family’s head, Xianyu Tong greeted. His figure was very lanky, but he didn’t have the lumps on top of his head like Helian Rong did. Instead, one of his hands was covered with scales, and his palm was also completely different from normal person, like a dragon’s claw.
The royal families all had true dragon’s blood, the difference being the purity, but normally, dragon horns were the external characteristic, and to grow a dragon claw like his was very very rare.
Apparently, the fact that Xianyu Tong could become the Xianyu royal family’s leader was inseparable from this dragon claw, which bestowed him with a strong power of the bloodline, allowing him to become one of the three supreme elites in the north sea.
However, only when he and Helian Rong got together could they rival Wenren Jie, whose strength was truly too powerful and unmeasurable.
“Lord Xianyu!” Helian Rong cupped his hands in obeisance.
“This human is the murderer that killed this king’s son?” Xianyu Tong stared at Ling Han with an extremely unfriendly expression.
This was natural—the hatred of killing his son was absolutely irreconcilable.
“Lord Xianyu, saying this from the start seems somewhat inappropriate?” Helian Rong said indifferently.
Xianyu Tong snorted, and said, “The matter you talked about had better not be the least bit false, or else this king will kill this child at all cost!”
“Lord Xianyu, you think that this king would joke about this sort of matter?” Helian Rong said with a smile.
“Then please go inside!” Xianyu Tong gesticulated for him to go in, his attitude still cold.
Everyone entered the hall; as the settling was too grave an issue, miscellaneous personnel obviously had no right to listen. The hall not only had Shattering Void Tier elites, but also a great defensive formation activated, tightly covering the entire island.
Ling Han spoke again of the divine realm’s five sects’ plan and answered the inquiries of the Xianyu royal family, making their faces gloomier, the same reaction that Helian royal family had previously.
From shock to unacceptable, then slowly to acceptance and numbness… such great news was hard to bear even for Shattering Void Tier elites.
But unfortunately for them, they all believed it.
Because this could completely explain the gap in history and why they always felt an indescribable sense of danger when they thought to shatter the void.
Xianyu Tong tapped his finger on the table, and said, “Lord Helian, you want to form an alliance? Fine, but This King has a condition.”
“What condition?” Helian Rong asked.
Xianyu Tong pointed at Ling Han and said, “This human’s head!”
“No!” Helian Rong refused flatly. Not to mention Ling Han’s personal potential, he still counted on Ling Han and Helian Xun Xue to produce one more offspring, one that had even purer ancestral blood, bringing Helian royal family to a greater height, even surpassing the imperial family.
“A mere human!” Xianyu Tong snorted. “Lord Helian, you’d better consider carefully, are you really going to destroy our alliance for a human ant?”
“Hehe, you say it like if you tried, I would die,” Ling Han interrupted.
Helian Rong laughed, and said, “How about this, Lord Xianyu can send out an expert, and within an amount of restricted moves, This King will definitely not intervene to assist, but after these moves, all grievances are settled!”
“Father…” Helian Xun Xue cried out in a hurry, but it was obviously fake for Xianyu Tong to see. However, women naturally knew how to act, and the frightened look on her face really didn’t seem fake.
Helian Rong waved his hand, signaling that Helian Xun Xue needed not speak more.
Xianyu Tong couldn’t help but be shocked. This human’s tier couldn’t be more obvious, merely at the fifth layer of the Deity Transformation Tier, which meant he had at most battle prowess of Heaven Tier. In front of Shattering Void Tier elites, a Heaven Tier one could only nurse a grievance no matter how strong he were, so what were they playing at?
Could Helian Rong have decided to sacrifice this human in order to form an alliance with him? Of course, he was but a lowly human—so what if he died?
Xianyu Tong was still unsatisfied. Killing Ling Han would only avenge the his son, but Helian Xun Xue escaping marriage embarrassed Xianyu royal family, so was this debt going to be written off just like that?
It definitely couldn’t.
“Okay, then ten moves!” Xianyu Tong nodded. Anyway, they could kill this human first, and then slowly bargain with Helian Rong. In short, Xianyu Family definitely couldn’t lose out.
With Shattering Void Tier elite intervening, one move should be enough to settle it, so why set ten moves as the limit? It was obviously to let Ling Han suffer as much as possible, and then kill Ling Han with the last move.
He sent someone to notify the people of the entire island to head towards the Iron Blood Stadium. This human dared to kill the people of the Xianyu Clan, and if he weren’t executed in public, how could they be mollified?
The Iron Blood Stadium was used for battle; not only were the materials used to construct it extremely durable, but also was there a large formation set up that could withstand the battle impact of about Shattering Void Tier five stars, being especially made for fights.
In the ba
ttle, martial artists were able to improve themselves, and observing the fights of elites was also extremely beneficial, so the Iron Blood Stadium had many seats, enough to accommodate ten thousand people. Ordinarily, there were even bets on fights, with great wins and losses.
Ling Han, Xianyu Tong, Helian Rong and the others all came here. Ling Han pretended to face death calmly, making the people of Helian Clan sneer. We’ll see how long you can maintain such calmness, wait till you cry for mercy.
Helian Rong knew very well in his heart that he’d already tied up Xianyu Tong with his words earlier and that Xianyu Tong wouldn’t intervene, so who else in Xianyu royal family could still harm Ling Han? Besides, who would think that Ling Han was also a formation master?
Xianyu Tong nodded towards someone, and said, “Ziyuan, you go. You must kill this child in ten moves!”
That person nodded, and said, “Brother King, I understand!”
This person was called Xianyu Ziyuan, and he was Xianyu Tong’s brother, a fifth layer Shattering Void Tier elite, whose battle prowess also reached five stars.
“Take the field!” Xianyu Tong said to Ling Han coldly.
Ling Han cracked a smile, and said, “I only need to block ten moves?”
Sh*t, what do you mean ‘only need to block ten moves’, could you even block one move?
The people in the surrounding sneered. You can talk glibly for now; soon you’ll be crying for mercy.
Chapter 787 - Humans also have such physiques?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Correct, you only need to block ten moves!” Xianyu Tong said coldly. He swept a glance at Helian Rong, meaning: you mustn’t intervene, or else this bet won’t count.
Helian Rong simply smiled faintly with a calm expression, not seeming to care at all about Ling Han’s survival. However, he was full of smiles on the inside. Previously, Helian Family was duped by Ling Han, and this time, it was finally Xianyu Tong’s turn to have a taste.
Although he was one of the strongest elites in power, unswayed by emotions for a long time, imagining his old rival’s shocked look later, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Thinking about it was joyous—he really looked forward to it.
“Go down!” Xianyu Tong urged. Entering Xianyu Family’s territory, you still want to overturn the skies?
Ling Han assumed an expression of facing death calmly and walked with large strides into the battle area. The ground was made of strange stones, which was said to be produced at the bottom of the sea, and although it couldn’t be forged into weapons, it was extremely hard, and its toughness reached ninth-tier rare metal’s. On top of formations, its defensive power could rival tenth-tier rare metal’s.
Instantly, waves of hissing sounds came from the stands. This was the offender that humiliated Xianyu royal family, and today he was going to be punished here.
Now everyone obviously knew that Ling Han was going to receive Xianyu Ziyuan’s ten moves. On the surface, it was a battle, but in reality, wasn’t it a sadistic punishment? Xianyu ZIyuan possessed Shattering Void Tier five stars of battle prowess and could kill Ling Han instantly with one move.
Some people not only hissed, but also threw all sorts of garbage, but being blocked by the formation, the garbage slid to the side of the field—still, their attitude was shown to the greatest extent.
Hurry up and die!
Ling Han looked towards Xianyu Ziyuan. He was a somewhat old middle-aged man who looked to be in the fifties, and in terms of the long lives of true dragon’s descendants, he lived roughly for two thousand years, which counted as super old.
A human Shattering Void Tier elite would have already lived two lifetimes, but he only passed half of one, something truly enviable.
It couldn’t be helped—true dragon’s blood circulated within his body.
“Human, if you can take This Lord’s ten moves, then you can leave here alive.” Xianyu Ziyuan revealed a ruthless expression. Originally, he felt it beneath him to attack a mere Deity Transformation Tier ant considering his status, but Ling Han dared to execute people of Xianyu family in public, one of whom even had extremely pure ancestral blood, being the next successor to the king.
Ling Han smiled faintly, and said, “Then will this lord please have mercy.”
“This Lord will!” Xianyu ZIyuan sneered. He’d indeed pull punches in the first nine moves, and when Ling Han saw a tiny bit of hope, he would then mercilessly smother it, the only way to truly vent their hatred.
“Commence your moves!” Ling Han gesticulated.
Xianyu Ziyuan clenched his fists and didn’t even operate Origin Power; with axiu , he charged over and threw a punch at Ling Han.
How extremely fast were the speeds of Shattering Void Tier? There was no time for Ling Han to react at all. This punch hit him right on the pit of his stomach.Peng , he was instantly sent flying like an artillery shell.
Ling Han fell heavily into the stone wall at the end of the battle field, and then bounced back, falling to the ground. Even though he was actually prepared, he still felt a stinging pain in the pit of his stomach.
He indeed couldn’t dodge a Shattering Void Tier’s attack, but the Eye of Truth could see how powerful the attack was. Xianyu Ziyuan evidently wanted him to suffer the greatest extent of the ten moves. Thus, he controlled the first attack’s power at Heaven Tier ten stars of battle prowess, and it was fired out with pure brute force.
This originally wasn’t enough to harm Ling Han, but the opponent was at the Shattering Void Tier, thoughtlessly adhering a shred of martial intent, which was the source of Ling Han’s pain.
His physique was too formidable—sure, it was painful, but it wasn’t a big deal. He immediately climbed up, coughed up a mouthful of black blood, and then exercised his muscles and bones. Instantly, the bones all over his body crackled, and his Qi and blood soared, showing his extremely vigorous life force.
Instantly, those on stands raised a commotion.
The sea race counted as people half human half beast, so their physiques were considerably formidable, like those of the lobstermen and crabmen—their shells alone could make martial artists in the same tier despair, being absolutely impenetrable. However, their attainments were also limited, reaching the Deity Transformation Tier at most as they were greatly limited by their bloodline.
Precisely because of this, they also knew just how difficult it was to get their physiques to the Heaven and Shattering Void Tier.
This human did it!
It was too shocking. Are you sure you’re a pure human, and not some half human descended from divine beasts?
Even Xianyu Tong’s eyes contracted slightly as he revealed a look of pity.
It wasn’t rare for sea race’s kings 1 to possess such physique. Their bloodlines bestowed them with such abilities. However, it was surprising for a human to reach such heights, showing the terrifying potential of this human.
Humans had the worst physical composition and the weakest physiques, but they had infinite possibilities in martial arts because they didn’t have the blessing of bloodlines and in turn wouldn’t be limited by bloodlines.
How unfortunate that this human killed his son. Otherwise, this human was really worth recruiting, even marrying to a girl of his clan—their offspring might also be extremely formidable.
This thought only flashed across his mind. No way, this human must die!Besides, they already entered the Iron Blood Stadium, so even he couldn’t stop the fight, or else he’d be going back on his words, and how could he keep his position as king then?
Xianyu Ziyuan was also slightly shocked. He obviously knew very clearly how much power he’d used—enough to heavily injure ninety-nine percent of peak stage Heaven Tier warriors—but Ling Han simply coughed a mouthful of blood and that was all. The vigor of Ling Han’s blood and Qi even made him somewhat dumbfounded.
“The second move!” he said indifferently, raising his right fist again, and increa
sed the power to Heaven Tier twelve stars.
Xiu , he flew out and threw a punch, sending Ling Han flying again.
“Wa!” Ling Han hacked out another mouthful of black blood. He lowered his head and saw that his chest caved in somewhat and all his bones were broken.
After adhering the martial intent of a Shattering Void Tier, the mere battle power of Heaven Tier could injure his physique—truly surprising. It could also be seen that the strength of the Shattering Void Tier crushed Heaven Tier by countless times.
Ling Han frowned slightly—with a shred of Shattering Void Tier’s martial intent, Diamond Body couldn’t automatically heal the injuries. He operated Indestructible Heaven’s Scroll, and his entire body instantly glowed with golden light, emitting an ancient and noble presence as if that of an ancient heavenly emperor.
His broken bones recovered at a visible speed, and almost in the time of a breath, he recovered to an optimal state, without any damages to Qi and blood, his vitality exuberant.
Although Ling Han already stopped Indestructible Heaven’s Scroll, but the Shattering Void Tier elites all revealed shocked expressions one after another.
That ancient and noble presence made their souls tremble with fear!
How was it possible—he was a mere human, not a true dragon’s reincarnation! Why could he suppress them in terms of the quality of the soul?
“Eight more moves!” Ling Han said indifferently.
Chapter 788 - Comprehending Sword Heart

Ling Han didn’t immediately use Ice Dragon Ground Blast Formation, mainly because he wanted to improve himself using a Shattering Void Tier elite. He always felt that his cultivation improved too fast, for he was eating honestly too much high-level medicinal pills and all sorts of worldly treasures, which settled in his body, and if he didn’t stimulate and refine it, it would actually bring about the opposite effect.
Taking two heavy consecutive hits and even resisisting a Shattering Void Tier’s martial intent, he already felt the medicinal power that settled in his body slowly being set off and quickly converting into his own Origin Power.
