“Sorry, sorry!” Ling Han quickly smiled, and said, “Niu has really done me a huge favor this time.”
Hu Niu immediately became extremely pleased. Clapping her hands, she said, “Niu is the best!”
“Niu really is the best!” Ling Han patted Hu Niu’s head; this little girl was indeed very special.
“Let’s take a look at the harvest first!” Ling Han and Hu Niu entered the Black Tower together. He then called Helian Xun Xue over. She was holding Ling Jian Xue, and they both came together before the huge True Dragon Bloodstone.
“Yi ya, yi ya!” Ling Jian Xue wriggled his little hands and feet, trying hard to break out from within Helian Xun Xue’s arms.
“Oh?” Ling Han was stunned. “Did this little guy feel the power of the True Dragon Bloodstone?” He paused for a while, and said, “Xun Xue, let go of him and we shall see.” Naturally, it would be impossible to have any problems within the Black Tower.
Accordingly, Helian Xun Xue put her son on the ground. The little guy immediately used both his hands and feet, and charged towards the True Dragon Bloodstone.
Although he hadn’t reached age of one year yet, his brute strength and speed were incomparably impressive. Very quickly, he ran to the front of the True Dragon Bloodstone and climbed up on it one step at a time. When he reached the peak, he comfortably lay face down on top of its surface, just like the Flea King previously.
Ling Han immediately noticed that on the little guy’s body, there were flickering streaks of draconic patterns, emitting a faint radiance. There was outpouring of dragon’s might; moreover, it was consistently getting stronger.
He’d absorb the True Dragon’s Blood, and keep getting stronger.
For the descendants of the True Dragon, the True Dragon’s Blood was definitely a rare treasure, and perhaps even something irreplaceable.
Ling Han walked over and put his hand on the True Dragon Bloodstone. Immediately, the Nine Dragons Tyrant Body Art automatically circulated to extract the essence of the Bloodstone, strengthening his body and enhancing his physique slightly, with a substantial increase in strength.
He has a sudden urge to completely draw out the energy within the Bloodstone, and let his brute force instantly soar upwards into Heaven Tier, or even stronger.
He promptly restrained himself; it wouldn’t be a good thing for strength to increase too rapidly. One would need to have a strong enough mental state to control such power. Despite being of the Heaven Tier in his past life, his battle prowess wasn’t strong at all, and the past he might not even be a match for the current him now; he didn’t have an edge in mental state.
It could be said that in addition to striving forward on the familiar road towards the Heaven Tier, he had completely surpassed his previous life, and this time it was only within a span of just over five years. When he thought about this, it made him feel as though he was in a dream.
After reaching the peak of the Deity Transformation Tier, it was necessary to build a solid foundation in that state before breaking through. He couldn’t leave any regret; otherwise, it might bring about a huge impact.
Ling Han retracted his hand, and said, “Small Tower, how will this kid absorb the True Dragon’s Blood? Will there be any problem?”
The Small Tower emerged, and calmly replied, “His physique is good; much stronger than yours. You’d better die soon. That way, your son will inherit the Black Tower, and definitely be more outstanding than you.”
F***!
The corner of Ling Han’s lips twitched. Even though you were praising my son, you need not belittle me so much, right? This proud tower. One day, I will make it kneel down and proclaim its defeat.
However, it’s good if there’s no problem. Just let this kid lie on top of the stone to absorb the True Dragon’s Blood. I really don’t know what kind of height his brute force can reach once he has activated his Spirit Base… Flower Blossom Tier? Spiritual Infant Tier?
Three people including Ling Han came out of the black tower. The most precious treasure was of course the True Dragon’s Tooth; by comparison, the others were just sesame seeds. Even the True Dragon Bloodstone could only be regarded as a slightly larger sesame seed.
“Argh!” Just as they exited the Black Tower, they heard a terrible roar, which completely shook them to the point that their skin was undulating like waves.
It was that Flea King; it came back, only to discover that the True Dragon Bloodstone wasn’t there. It naturally blew its top off, and bellowed so violently as if it wanted to destroy this part of the realm.
“Let’s go!” The three including Ling Han left at once. To resolutely take on this Fifteen-eyed Corpse King level Flea King was simply courting death; only a fool would do such a thing. After running for over a hundred miles, although the roars could still be heard, the ripples in the air finally could not affect them anymore.
This was precisely what a Shattering Void Tier elite was—with just a roar, it could cause shock injury to a Heaven Tier elite.
After running for several hundred miles more, the roars finally disappeared completely, and the three people sighed in relief. Fortunately, this big guy did not pursue them and attack everywhere. Otherwise, if they were targeted, would they be able to stand up to it even if they managed to awaken the Revere Life Sword?
They no longer deliberately searched for other treasures, be it True Dragon Bloodstone or the Dragon’s Blood Grass. Now they were focused on the True Dragon’s Tooth. After all, they didn’t know how much time they would spend on the fourth floor.
Two days later, they came to the end of the third floor; here, there wasn’t any passageway or tall mountain made of bones. There was only a seemingly ordinary portal, but it was connected to a completely different world—on the opposite side was an ocean of flames.
“Hehe, finally I’ve waited until you came!” Amidst the cold sneer, Xu Xiu Ran’s group of four could be seen appearing one after the other, blocking the passageway to the portal.
Ling Han smiled, and said, “To have made all of you wait so long, I am truly sorry!”
“It doesn’t matter, you can compensate us with your life,” the Small Sword Emperor said coldly.
“Then, I am even more sorry as I value my life very much, and have no intention of using it to compensate anyone.” Ling Han gazed at the four people coldly.
With his own strength, he wasn’t afraid of these four people. Even if his battle prowess fell short of theirs, his body could continuously heal, making him the person with the last laugh. However, everyone had the ability to fight a stronger opponent; with the Absolute Saber and the Mountain and River Axe, they would probably need to get the Flea King from earlier to come over to be equally matched.
He immediately made a decision. He was going to rush forward and first get his hands on the True Dragon’s Tooth. As for the four people, they could be dealt with later.
“Die!” Xu Xiu Ran immediately wielded Absolute Saber, while Son of Lightning also took out the Mountain and River Axe. Held high in his hands, this treasured tool had been awakened, exuding an incomparably overbearing aura.
Ling Han pulled Helian Xun Xue and Hu Niu back into the Black Tower. Anyway, the other four people already knew that he had a spatial Divine Tool, so it didn’t matter if he used it in front of them.
“You want to barge through us? You are too naive!” The Small Sword Emperor sneered, and also wielded a treasured sword. With the circulation of the sword’s intent, this treasured tool was awakened, exuding a fierce breath; even if it did not reach the Shattering Void Tier, it wouldn’t be far off.
Dong Ling’er also wielded a sword. She hadn’t mastered Sword Heart yet, but she also possessed her own formidable power. The power within her blood was unleashed, and at her back, two long wings spread out, together with a phoenix tail woven with light and shadow. It was like she had become a colorful phoenix.
The four young rulers joined forces to stop Ling Han. In addition to the Absolute Saber and t
he Mountain and River Axe, it could be said that they made a well-fortified barricade; even for Shattering Void Tier, there wasn’t more than a few capable of charging through their ranks.
Ling Han drew out the Revere Life Sword, and smiled. “Then I will show you!”
Chapter 807 - Trap

Without hesitation, Ling Han shot out, directly heading for the passage that led to the fourth floor.
As long as he entered, Xu Xiu Ran and the others would naturally be unable to follow.
The Revere Life Sword, due to the proximity of the aura of the Absolute Saber and the Mountain and River Axe, automatically awakened. Its patterns glowed, and its killing intent blazed into the skies. Ling Han did not summon the Ice Dragon Ground Blast Formation. His intention now was to barge his way in, and not defeat these four people. The difficulty level was completely different.
How could it be that the Revere Life Sword would be unable to sustain a single combined strike of the Absolute Saber and the Mountain and River Axe? You had to be kidding.
“Get back!” The four young elites combined their attacks, and even used such powerful killing Tools like the Absolute Saber and the Mountain and River Axe; even Shattering Void Tier elites were practically unable to outshine them.
Yet Ling Han forced his way through. The Revere Life Sword exuded endless light from its patterns, wrapping him tightly within as he charged towards that doorway.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
In the fierce exchange, Ling Han could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood, yet forced his way through the combined barricade of the four young rulers, and threw himself into that doorway.
The moment he entered, he immediately drew out the Flower of Dead Souls.Weng , this amazing flower that came from the Netherworld instantly shone with a dark light that suppressed the blazing flames surrounding him.
These flames had absolutely no effect on the physical body. Instead, they directly affected the soul, attempting to burn his soul to ashes. And the Flower of Dead Souls just so happened to be capable of suppressing them. As for why it could do so, Ling Han could not fathom it, either. He merely knew that the effects were indeed excellent.
He turned around, yet saw that the expressions on the faces of Xu Xiu Ran and the others looked very odd. They did not look at all defeated that he had managed to barge in, but were rather wearing cold smirks, like they were saying ‘you’re a stupid idiot’.
“Ling Han, we already know that you have a Spatial Divine Tool, yet still deliberately revealed the use of the Flower of Dead Souls. Could it be that you take us for idiots?” Xu Xiu Ran sneered.
Dong Ling’er continued, “You’re wrong. We deliberately said those words for you to hear! The Flower of Dead Souls is the key to enter into the fourth floor, true, but it’s merely one of them. The other key is… one has to form the heart of martial arts. Otherwise, you would still be burnt to ashes!”
“After you’re dead, we will enter and take away the Flower of Dead Souls. Anyways, in your current condition, you would not be able to go far!” the Small Sword Emperor said calmly.
Ling Han gave an ‘oh’, and smiled. “You all deliberately say it now because you want to detain me here as much as possible. On the other side, you have sealed the exit so that I would only be able to remain here, and you can easily retrieve the Flower of Dead Souls later. Now that I think about it, you all did not try your best to stop me previously.”
“That’s right. Using this natural killing zone to eliminate you, wouldn’t it be much simpler?” the Son of Lightning said calmly.
Ling Han laughed loudly, and said, “Since you all know that I have a spatial Divine Tool, could it be that you don’t know that I merely have to duck inside, and it will not matter how horrible the conditions outside are? What could they do to me?”
“Hmph, you think that just because we have never seen a spatial Divine Tool before, we don’t know the use of a spatial Divine Tool?” Dong Ling’er snorted derisively. “Spatial Divine Tools are merely convenient, but could not completely seal off the environment. Even if you hide inside, you would not be spared from death!”
Ling Han grinned, and said, “Then even if I died, I would not allow the Flower of Dead Souls or the spatial Divine Tool to benefit you—you all did not find it previously. That is the case now, and in the future, you would not be able to do it, either.”
Hearing these words, Xu Xiu Ran and the others frowned. This was indeed their worry. They had only heard of the existence of spatial Divine Tools, but had never seen one before, so how would they know how to retrieve it?
Xu Xiu Ran pondered, then said, “Hand over the Flower of Dead Souls and the spatial Divine Tool, and we can spare you!” When he saw Ling Han’s uncaring expression, he stretched out his hand, and declared, “I can swear.”
“We can swear too,” the others said as well.
In comparison with the valuable True Dragon’s Tooth and Spatial Divine Tool, Ling Han’s life could naturally be set aside for the moment. Anyways, he had not yet become too powerful. There were many elites in the five great sects that could easily kill him.
Ling Han laughed heartily, and said, “Do you all not know that I am a person who is unafraid of death? I will not stay around to chat anymore, bye!”
He turned around and left.
This was something that Xu Xiu Ran and the others had not expected. In their opinion, Ling Han was definitely a smart person, and how could it be possible that a smart person would make this kind of choice? This was a situation in which neither side won, and the most they would suffer was mild damage. They had merely lost a Flower of Dead Souls, but in Ling Han’s case, he would lose his life.
No matter how they thought about it, Ling Han did not seem to be the “person who is unafraid of death” that he had flaunted himself as.
“Could it be… he has formed Sword Heart!?” Xu Xiu Ran’s expression changed drastically. He had fought with Ling Han the most, and could be considered more familiar with Ling Han’s personality than the others.
The expressions of the others changed as well. This was not impossible. Previously, Ling Han had already touched the border of the Sword Heart, which allowed him to be unaffected by Xu Xiu Ran and the Small Sword Emperor, and kill Jia Ming successfully.
Any other person would not be able to do so in such a short amount of time, but how could Ling Han be any other person?
“Then this would be a little terrible!”
Sword Heart added with the Flower of Dead Souls would be enough to resist the soul-burning flames of the fourth floor, and it would definitely not be difficult for him to obtain the True Dragon’s Tooth. And it would be of no use for them to stand guard here, either. The moment the time limit was reached, Ling Han would naturally be directly sent out of the Ghostly Dragon Cave.
“We’ll stand guard here. If the time comes and we are still unable to capture Ling Han, we will immediately return to the middle state and ask the ultimate elites to move. We must definitely kill this man!”
“That’s right. With the True Dragon’s Tooth and a spatial Divine Tool in his possession, there is definitely a need to get the ultimate elites to move!”
The four of them all sat at the entrance and waited patiently. In their eyes, there was only one valuable thing in this Ghostly Dragon Cave and that was the True Dragon’s Tooth. Thus, they could not bother to waste time to search for other treasures.
***
Ling Han’s hand gripped the Flower of Dead Souls. As he walked in this sea of flames, his steps were steady, and he was extremely calm.
Setting aside their ability to burn the soul, the damage that these flames inflicted on the physical body was practically zero. Furthermore, with the protection of the Flower of Dead Souls, and the support of the Sword Heart, he had nothing to fear here.
He took great strides forwards. The structure of this fourth floor was very simple. It was merely a larg
e passage all the way to the end. Thus, he had no other choice but to walk forwards. Apparently, the True Dragon’s Tooth lay at the end of this passage. However, no one was capable of obtaining it, and they could only look upon it from afar.
The passage was very long; after a half day’s time, Ling Han finally saw the end. An altar made of stone appeared ahead of him. It was huge, but there was a ring of purple light that had solidified around and encircled the altar.
Until now, no one had been able to pass through this ring of light. Otherwise, if anyone had been able to pass through and come back out, how could it be that they had not been able to retrieve the True Dragon’s Tooth?
In the middle of the altar, there lay a colossal fang. It was thirty meters long, and was completely brilliant white, seeming like a beautiful work of art. Merely the sight of it gave a kind of pleasant feeling. Moreover, even though he was standing so far away from it, Ling Han could still sense the boundless might emitted by the fang.
The True Dragon’s Tooth!
Chapter 808 - True Dragon’s Tooth
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The True Dragon’s Tooth was almost within reach.
Ling Han walked forwards. He had already come all this way, so no matter what, he wanted to make an attempt. Even if, at the end, he had to use the Revere Life Sword to slash at it brutally, or even ask Small Tower to move, he wanted to give it a try.
The divine item was left behind by a True Dragon 1 ; even in the Immortal Realm, this was something that would be fought over, wasn’t it?
Weng , when Ling Han walked in front of that purple halo of light, the halo rippled as if it was water, and wrapped around him. He looked down, and saw that the Flower of Dead Souls in his grip was exuding a faint light that seemed to form some kind of echo with this purple halo.
Realization dawned on him. If this wasn’t the case, then so many people managed to come here before—though they all died eventually—why was there a need to have the Flower of Dead Souls to be capable of obtaining the True Dragon’s Tooth?
