“Indeed!” However, the three of them were all extremely intelligent people, and immediately came to a realization—previously, Ling Han had directly stored Jia Ming’s body away, and the latter had a spatial Spirit Tool. Everyone knew that spatial Spirit Tools could not be stored into another spatial Spirit Tool, so there was only one answer.
Ling Han had gotten ahold of a spatial Divine Tool!
Instantly, the eyes of all four became heated as if they had caught sight of a Divine Herb, staring at Ling Han closely.
Chapter 798 - Mountain and River Axe
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Even in the Immortal Realm, a spatial Divine Tool was an incomparably shocking treasure. If they could take possession of it, they would be able to exchange it for resources that would cause them to pass out in excitement when they entered into the Immortal Realm in the future.
They definitely had to get it.
The eyes of Xu Xiu Ran and the others were filled with violence. Even if not for the sake of this spatial Divine Tool, there was still no way that they would spare Ling Han.
“Let’s go all out to kill this man!” The four of them exchanged a look, and nodded.
How were they supposed to divide the Spatial Divine Tool could be a question for later. They had to first kill Ling Han; otherwise, everything would be mere unrealistic.
Xu Xiu Ran naturally drew the Absolute Saber, whereas the Son of Lightning drew out a gigantic axe that was a few times taller than even himself. Brandished in his hand, it instantly exuded a terrifying aura of violence that would cause everyone to flee easily.
Internally, Ling Han could not help but become serious. The feeling that this axe gave him was definitely in no way inferior to the Absolute Saber’s.
The five great sects really had an abundance of wealth and a powerful background. The Absolute Saber in itself definitely was no weaker than ten Stars of the Shattering Void Tier, and now there was an additional axe. This would be enough to allow Xu Xiu Ran and the others to be completely fearless even against such powerful elites like Xianyu Tong.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they had to be able to activate these ultimate treasures in time. Otherwise, everything would be pointless. If that hadn’t been the case, how could Jia Ming have died?
Two top-grade Spirit Tools… this was a little troublesome.
The Revere Life Sword in Ling Han’s grasp automatically glowed as patterns awakened one by one. This was due to having sensed the threat presented by the Absolute Saber and that axe. He smiled slightly, and said, “This axe is really quite remarkable.”
“Of course it is remarkable!” the Son of Lightning said. “This is an imitation of the Mountain and River Axe.”
Imitation?
Only now was Ling Han really stunned. Such a powerful Spirit Tool was actually merely an imitation? Then how extraordinarily mighty would the real Mountain and River Axe be?
“Hahahaha, Ling Han, don’t you want to establish your own nation and split open the skies?” The Son of Lightning laughed uproariously. “There is no harm in telling you. Only if you use the Mountain and River Axe would you be able to split open the skies. Other than a Pseudo-Divine Tool, what kind of treasured tool would be capable of moving this piece of sky?”
“Oh, I’d like to hear the details!” Ling Han said, smiling.
“Heng, the Mountain and River Axe is forged from the Source and barrier energies of this realm, and why do you think that is so?” Xu Xiu Ran said coldly. “The reason why we are telling you this is because you are definitely going to die!”
Dong Ling’er and the Small Sword Emperor each held a rolled up scroll. Those should be decrees of Shattering Void Tier elites, but if the Absolute Saber and the Mountain and River Axe were capable of crushing Ling Han, then there would be no need for them to waste the decrees in their possession.
After all, they had another motive for this journey. Otherwise, how could they have possibly been given so many treasures by their seniors? One had to know that the war against the Purple Moon Empire had reached an extremely delicate stage. Removing any top-grade treasure whatsoever could possibly affect the course of the war.
They were determined to get ahold of the True Dragon’s Tooth.
Ling Han smiled slightly, and said, “So there actually exists this kind of treasure, something that has been forged from the Source and barrier energies of an entire realm. Then I would really like to take a look at the real Mountain and River Axe.”
“You will not have the chance!”
At this moment, the Absolute Saber and Mountain and River Axe had already awakened, and exuded a terrifying wave of power.
These two treasures were definitely excellent items amongst Level Ten Spirit Tools; they would be able to kill even mid- and high-level Shattering Void Tier elites. If the Demon Birth Sword came up against them, then it would be sliced in half within a few moves.
In his first confrontation with Xu Xiu Ran, the Demon Birth Sword had already got quite a few dents, and if the battle persisted, it would definitely not be an impossibility for it to be sliced in half. And once the sword was broken in half, its martial intent would die as well. Then it would no longer be a Level Ten Spirit Tool, but merely a Level Ten weapon.
The Revere Life Sword also came to life by itself, and exuded a shocking killing aura. This was the Number One Killing Sword in the world, and that name did not come from mere bragging.
However, there was only one Revere Life Sword, whereas the opposing party had awakened two great killing tools.
Ling Han once again deployed the Ice Dragon Ground Blast Formation, but even so, against the battle prowess of at least four Shattering Void Tier items from Xu Xiu Ran and the others, he was still at a disadvantage. He did not retreat, because he still wanted to see how mighty the Mountain and River Axe could be and deduce the power of the real Mountain and River Axe from that.
“I shall block that sword; you are in charge of attack!” Xu Xiu Ran said as he drew out the Absolute Saber against the Revere Life Sword.
“All right!” the Son of Lightning said, and brandishing the Mountain and River Axe, charged forwards as well.
Ding!
The Absolute Saber and the Revere Life Sword clashed against each other, creating a crisp crashing sound, followed by a brilliant luster that shot out in all directions. The light flickered in the skies, forming uncountable ripples as if it intended to shatter this whole space itself.
These two were already old rivals, and each being unable to get the upper hand over the other was something predictable. It was at this moment that the Son of Lightning charged forth, brandishing his Mountain and River Axe. This was the real killing move.
The Ice Dragon rushed forth, emitting a roar like thunder.
Shua , with a wave of the axe from the Son of Lightning, the Ice Dragon was sliced in two, and instantly disappeared without a trace. In the Ice Dragon Ground Blast Formation, white fog condensed, and was in the midst of forming a new Ice Dragon. However, this needed time, even though this period of waiting time was very short.
This was too terrifying. The Ice Dragon possessed seven Battle Stars, yet was actually incapable of blocking the might of a single axe attack. This obviously was not because the Son of Lightning was really strong, but because of the might of the axe itself.
The Son of Lightning broke into laughter, and drew back the axe. Then he once again charged towards Ling Han. He raised the Mountain and River Axe high, his face filled with a cold, murderous expression.
One slash would shatter your soul—die!
Ling Han sighed internally. Even if this Mountain and River Axe was merely an imitation, its might had reached ten Stars of Shattering Void Tier at least. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to have slashed through the Ice Dragon so easily. Then, how terrifying would the real Mountain and River Axe be?
Fifteen Stars? Or even twenty Stars?
The five great sec
ts really had a terrifying amount of resources. They had not revealed all their trump cards yet—most likely because Ma Duo Bao had also not personally moved, and they wanted to find a chance to defeat this ancient empire all in one go.
The thought merely flashed through Ling Han’s mind, and he promptly dismissed the idea of using an instillation of power from the Black Tower.
After this instillation of power, it would be a piece of cake for him to dominate Xu Xiu Ran and the others—the prerequisite was that they did not have treasures like the Absolute Saber and the Mountain and River Axe in hand. But this obviously was nonsense. Then even an instillation of power would be useless as he would not be able to stand against this kind of treasured Tool.
“I’m not going to play with you guys anymore!” Ling Han smiled faintly, and stretching out both hands, he drew Hu Niu, Helian Xun Xue, and the Revere Life Sword as well as the Ice Dragon Ground Blast Formation into the Black Tower. Naturally, he, too, ducked inside.
Xiu , it was as if they had never appeared.
“Careful!” Xu Xiu Ran and the others all wore expressions of extreme caution. This was just like before. Ling Han and his group suddenly shot out, causing Jia Ming to die in such an incredibly stupid manner. Now, they were using the same trick again, but it was still extremely dangerous.
“Search carefully. Since it is a spatial God Tool, then it definitely has an actual form.”
“Slash everything here cleanly, and destroy every inch of ground!”
The four of them had gone berserk, and the Absolute Saber and the Mountain and River Axe slashed madly at the ground. Ordinary soil and rock would only be turned to nothing by such a barrage; not even dust would be left behind.
However, how could a God Tool be so easily destroyed? As long as they could find it, they would immediately wrap it up with a decree of Shattering Void Tier and bring it back to the five sects. There naturally would be ultimate elites that couly pry open the God Tool, and drag Ling Han and his group out by force.
However, what greatly disappointed them was that no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to find the presence of this kind of God Tool.
Chapter 799 - Flower of Dead Souls
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Oh no!” All of a sudden, the Small Sword Emperor’s expression changed. “Jia Ming is still in Ling Han’s hands.”
“The Flower of Dead Souls!” Xu Xiu Ran and the others exclaimed simultaneously.
“Only if one held the Flower of Dead Souls would he be able to protect his divine sense from harm and enter into the fourth floor.”
“Without the Flower of Dead Souls, there is no way we can get the True Dragon’s Tooth!”
“The ultimate elites have already explicitly said that we definitely have to get the True Dragon’s Tooth, and spared no expense to get ahold of the Flower of Dead Souls for that purpose.”
“Damn it, why was it that it was Jia Ming who was holding the Flower of Dead Souls?!”
All four were grinding their teeth. If they did not manage to complete this mission, then even with their status, they would be greeted with disdain upon their return, or even be punished. One had to know that though they were young rulers of this generation, how many geniuses and rulers had appeared in the five great sects in these ten thousand years? Furthermore, this was only a lower realm; how many top-tier prodigies existed in the Immortal Realm?
To be able to survive in the Immortal Realm as well, they had to obtain the full support and nurturing from their sects, and if their sects turned their backs on them, then they would soon be lost in the crowd in the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm was too big, and there were too many geniuses. With them, there would not be too many, and without them, they would not be missed, either.
“Let’s go directly to the fourth floor and stand guard there. If Ling Han wants to get ahold of the True Dragon’s Tooth, he will definitely head there!” Soon enough, they came to a realization, stored away their respective treasures, and then headed to the depths of the second floor.
After they had left, Ling Han and the others appeared as well.
“Hehe, this is really a piece of blind luck. Jia Ming actually had this kind of treasure on him?” Ling Han’s hand held a snow-white flower, and in the the center of the flower, black fog was concentrated. However, in mere moments, the white-colored flower actually turned purple.
“Flower of Dead Souls! I never thought that there would really be an amazing flower like this!” Helian Xun Xue gasped in surprise.
“Oh, you’ve heard of it?” Ling Han asked.
Helian Xun Xue nodded, and replied, “According to the legend, this is an amazing flower that originates from the Netherworld. After consuming it, it would be as if one’s spirit had descended to the depths of the Netherworld, wandering between the boundary of life and death, and experienced fully the wonders of life and death. And the fourth floor of the Ghostly Dragon Cave would launch a terrifying barrage on one’s soul. No one, even if they broke through to the Shattering Void Tier here, would be able to withstand this kind of barrage.”
“Can the Flower of Dead Souls resolve that?” Ling Han asked.
“Yes. The Flower of Dead Souls would wrap around the soul, so one would naturally not suffer this kind of barrage,” Helian Xun Xue said.
Ling Han stored the Flower of Dead Souls away with a smile, and said, “Then we would be much nearer to the True Dragon’s Tooth.”
Helian Xun Xue was greatly excited. Initially, she hadn’t even dared to entertain the thought, but now that they had gotten ahold of the Flower of Dead Souls, it was as if she really saw the True Dragon’s Tooth beckoning her over. And after refining the True Dragon’s Tooth, her son’s bloodline would definitely be improved to a terrifying extent.
Why had the other parts of the alternative dragon transformed into Dao, and merely left behind a single tooth? That was because this fang had broken through to Divine Grade, and was a real True Dragon’s Tooth 1 !
“However, those four would be standing guard at the entrance to the fourth floor, so it may not be so easy to enter!” Helian Xun Xue frowned again. “There is a limit to the time that the Ghostly Dragon Cave would be open, and at the end of that period, we would be either sent out or trapped here for five hundred years. Although we have the Black Tower, but five hundred years later… I’m afraid the people outside would be in a terrible situation, and circumstances would have changed entirely.”
Five hundred years later, either Ma Duo Bao would have managed to successfully split open the skies, or the Realm PIll would have been completed. However, Ling Han still had his parents and family outside, and five hundred years later, they would definitely have turned to bones. This was something that he could not accept.
“At that time, whatever the cost, we have to charge in,” Ling Han said. He had the Revere Life Sword, and in the worst case scenario, he would use an instillation of power from the Black Tower to instantly possess the strength and speed of the Shattering Void Tier. At that time, he did not believe that he was incapable of breaking through their encirclement.
“Niu will help you!” Hu Niu said, clapping her chest.
Ling Han could not help but rub Hu Niu’s head with a smile, and said, “With Niu’s help, we would definitely succeed!”
“Hehe!” Hu Niu was instantly proud of herself.
The three of them returned to their journey once more. After some thought, Ling Han said, “The Flower of Dead Souls comes from the Netherworld, so could it be that it comes from Hell? The five sects naturally could not possibly venture into Hell, then where had they gotten it from?”
His eyes suddenly lit up, and said, “The Thousand Corpse Sect!”
The Thousand Corpse Sect did not originate from the Immortal Realm, but from Hell. Then after the five sects had made some kind of agreement with the Thousand Corpse Sect, it would not be an impossible thing for them to get ahold of the Flower of D
ead Souls.
“The depths of their cooperation have exceeded my expectations!” Ling Han murmured.
After walking a short distance, they saw that Xianyu Cai was actually waiting ahead. When she saw them, a ‘just as I expected’ expression immediately appeared on her face as she said with a smirk, “You are not able to toss me off your trail!”
How troublesome!
Ling Han looked towards Helian Xun Xue with a smile, and said, “Can we kill her?”
“All right, all right, Niu wants to eat stewed dragon meat!” Hu Niu said, immediately drooling, which gave Xianyu Cai a scare. Why was this little girl so violent, wanting to eat dragon meat at the drop of a hat?
Helian Xun Xue shook her head, and said, “Forget it. She is, after all, a princess of the Xianyu Clan, and we are also on the same side for now, so killing her would not be easy to justify.”
Only now did Xianyu Cai sigh in relief. She naturally knew that whether it was Ling Han or Helian Xunxue, both had the ability to kill her. However, Ling Han’s next words caused her to worry again.
“In any case, this is the Ghostly Dragon Cave, so even if we kill her, no one would know it was us.”
Helian Xun Xue saw that Xianyu Cai was shaking in spite of herself, and, with a laugh, said, “That’s enough. Don’t keep scaring her.”
Ling Han finally said, “Don’t keep following us anymore. Otherwise, no matter who you are, I will still kill you!”
Xianyu Cai’s stubborn nature was instantly provoked, and she raised her head high as she said, “Kill me then, but do you dare to kill me?” This was only the second floor, so there were many passersby. She did not believe that Ling Han would really dare make a move.
“Ignorance!” Ling Han shook his head. This little princess had definitely been spoilt rotten as she was incredibly unruly. Thankfully, the person she’d met was him. If not, she would have lost her life long ago.
They continued to advance. The environment of this second floor was completely different. It was completely covered in a fiery red forest. Every single tree was about three hundred metres tall, and stretched open a huge canopy as if they were giants.
