Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

The Eye of Heavenly Dao blinked in the skies, causing ripples in the realm like water boiling, yet in a mere flash, it had disappeared from sight.
Did this mean something like “I am f****** not going to interfere anymore”?
They were all dumbfounded. Even the Eye of Heavenly Dao was not a match?
Damn, this woman was so strong she could defy nature!
They were all shaking. Such a powerful being had completely exceeded their expectations.
“You will have to tread the path of your future on your own,” the woman said, looking at Hu Niu with gentle eyes. Her body was continuing to dissipate; finally, she had disappeared completely without a trace.
Everyone else was looking at Hu Niu. At that moment, no one dared to make a move—who knew if that woman would return? Previously, she was also dissipating, yet she had killed an elite of eighteen Stars of Shattering Void Tier as easily as picking out an object from her bag. She had even scared off the Eye of Heavenly Dao.
Hong, long, long , the whole godly ship was wailing, and beginning to crumble. As it crumbled, the godly wood that could not be damaged even with the frenzied attacks of the Shattering Void Tier elites began breaking into pieces. Even those damaged cannons were the same.
In only a single instant, the ship had completely disappeared, leaving behind only a pile of ash. It was as if its mission was merely to travel out of the empty Void and hand that egg over to Hu Niu.
Perhaps it was not coincidence that the godly ship had appeared here. It might have been drawn out by Hu Niu.
Ma Duo Bao picked up the Mountain and River Axe lying on the ground, smiled calmly, and said, “Let’s continue the battle!”
Hong , he no longer kept any reservations, and the patterns on his body lit up consecutively, interweaving into a brilliant killing formation.
The Number One Killing Formation in this world that could eliminate even gods!
Chen Wenshi and Zuo Qifang released terrible screams, having been suddenly pulled in by the killing formation, and were instantly eliminated. Though the Spirit Tools they had been wielding before had been bathed in Immortal blood, and were incredibly frightening, they were completely suppressed after entering the huge ship. Their Immortal traits had disappeared, and now, with Ma Duo Bao’s sudden outburst, he had instantly eliminated two powerful beings.
The Eight Kings also began attacking the elites of the five sects, furious like wolves and tigers.
This was the final battle!
The five sects lost, and even the help of the Thousand Corpse Sect was useless. Who would have imagined that Ma Duo Bao was actually the Number One Killing Formation of the world, with battle prowess strong enough to kill even gods! In the Immortal Realm, that would only be merely an empty threat, but here, where the Immortals would be suppressed by the realm powers, it made killing gods possible.
Moreover, Xiao Miaoyan and Yang Guan both had eighteen Stars of battle prowess.
After an Eighteen-eyed Corpse King had been killed as well, the Shattering Void Tier elites all attempted to flee recklessly. After igniting their lifeforce, their speed was astonishingly fast. However, though they managed to flee, practically none below Shattering Void Tier managed to. Aside from a limited few that had been taken away by the Shattering Void Tier elites in their flight, the others either died in battle or surrendered.
The five sects’ rule over the middle state, and their influence over the four regions, was thus brought to an end.
“Some still managed to flee.” Ling Han shook his head. Xiao Miaoyan and Guan Yang both had eighteen Stars of Shattering Void Tier of battle prowess, and aside from Ma Duo Bao, no one else could suppress them. If they missed this chance to defeat them all in one go, in the future, it would be them in the open and their enemies in secret, and they would be impeded.
Eighteen Stars of Shattering Void Tier of battle prowess would be enough to stir up trouble.
“My tanned brother, now that the world is conquered, a few remaining clowns would not be able to cause any big ripples. If they dare appear, I will definitely kill them.” Ma Duo Bao laughed. “When we split open the skies, I will invite you to join us again so that we can all witness this magnificent feat together!”
“All right!” Ling Han nodded. He also had to observe Hu Niu closely. What kind of massive effects would that egg bring to the little girl?
They split up and bade their farewells before they respectively turned around and left.
At the first instant, Ling Han brought Hu Niu into the Black Tower, and had Small Tower conduct a detailed examination on her.
“I can’t!” Small Tower shook its head. “I can’t do it with my current abilities. I have to first recover to my complete form.”
Ling Han could not help but frown, and asked Hu Niu, “Niu, do you feel any discomfort or anything off?”
Hu Niu pondered earnestly, then nodded with utmost seriousness. She said, “Yes!”
“Where?”
“I’m hungry!”
… This glutton!
Chapter 843 - Staging A Comeback

That egg was obviously extremely rare, and its preciousness far exceeded the Reincarnation Tea’s. However, it turned out that there wasn’t even the slightest change in Hu Niu, which made Ling Han utterly puzzled.
In the midst of such puzzlement, Ling Han returned to the north region.
At this time, the four regions had been unified under the banner of the Great Ling Empire, and as policies beneficial to the nation and people’s welfare were passed down, the hearts of the people were quickly united.
Ling Han gave it a try; upon condensing the power of the nation, his battle prowess actually reached an amazing nine Stars of Shattering Void Tier!
The battle prowess of Shattering Void Tier was too strong. Therefore, it could be said that the addition of the power of the nation allowed for the attainment of nine Stars of Shattering Void Tier, and the battle prowess of Ling Han himself could be disregarded. And yet, the reason he was able to become so powerful was because his physique was extremely strong.
If it was any other Heaven Tier cultivator, the addition of power of the nation could only allow the attainment of battle prowess of twenty Stars of Heaven Tier, and couldn’t be upgraded any further. Otherwise, the body would collapse first. However, Ling Han was different; his body was as strong as Level Ten precious metal, enough to bear the battle prowess of nine Stars of Shattering Void Tier.
And this was already near his body’s limits.
It was no wonder that Ma Duo Bao had no intention of expanding the nation’s territory and increasing the number of people under his jurisdiction. His body was also similar to Level Ten precious metal in toughness. At most, he could only attain a ten Stars’ increase in battle prowess. Therefore, it would be meaningless for him to further expand the territory. As the saying went, too much was as bad as not enough.
Ling Han did not have such a worry. If he advanced into the Shattering Void Tier, he could still improve his body by another level to reach the stage of Godly Metal. In that case, what would be the limit of power of the nation that he could bear?
Twenty Stars? Thirty Stars? Fifty Stars?
Perhaps the will of all the realm’s people could be added upon him alone, without any fear that this would cause his body to explode.
Only now did Ling Han realize the importance of having a tyrannically strong body. And, when it was combined with the power of the nation, it made him invincibly powerful. Of course, this was also because he had cultivated the Indestructible Heaven Scroll, which allowed him to have such a body. Power such as this could not be duplicated.
Currently, his spirit was extremely powerful. His mental state had even reached the Shattering Void Tier in advance, allowing him to perfectly control the prowess of nine Stars of Shattering Void Tier. His comprehension of martial arts also saw amazingly rapid progress.
Whe
n one had reached his cultivation level, the comprehension of martial arts equaled the comprehension of Dao, the strength of the spirit, and the improvement of mental state—this allowed him to have absolutely no bottleneck in breaking through. He was only required to constantly increase the accumulation of Origin Power; thus, advancing through the levels was naturally done at lighting speed.
In this way, it was very likely that he could charge into the Shattering Void Tier within a year!
The Rain Emperor and Murong Qing came back with a large number of people. Now that the five great sects had been demolished, it was naturally impossible for the Restore Heaven Academy to continue operating. These people were the elites of elites, and the geniuses among geniuses. The five great sects had intended to bring them into the Immortal Realm as hired thugs, which showed that they all had great potential, and were worthy to be nurtured.
The thing that Ling Han lacked the least now was cultivation resources.
The Purple Moon Empire was spreading the truth about the Reckoning everywhere. In collaboration, Ling Han also announced the truth to all of the four regions so that everyone would know that in order to be rid of the fate of being used to make the Realm Pill, the only option would be to split open the sky.
In the beginning, most people were naturally sceptical. After all, they had been brainwashed by the five great sects for more than ten thousand years. However, as time passed by, more and more evidence was brought up, and naturally more people had chosen to believe it.
The more united the people’s hearts were, the stronger the power of the nation.
With the help of the Rain Emperor, Helian Xun Xue’s pressure was greatly reduced. As he had also been an emperor for so many years, he was naturally shrewd and ruthless in handling the nation’s affairs, and was not at all inferior to her.
Ma Duo Bao had agreed with Ling Han that he would use one year’s time to make preparations, after which he would split open the sky. Therefore, Ling Han had intended to use this one year to properly cultivate. If Ma Duo Bao was able to split open the sky, that would naturally be great, and he would bask in the glory. Otherwise, he would have to step up to the task.
This was the only way out for the Lower Realm.
Ling Han was prepared to change his cultivation technique after a certain period of time; it was obtained not from the Sea Race, but from the five great sects.
After all, the cultivation techniques of the Sea Race were only suited for the Sea Race. When the five great sects were demolished, Ma Duo Bao very generously allowed Ling Han to enter into one of the sects to select a cultivation technique. Ling Han picked the Extreme Yang Technique, which was maybe not the most suitable for him, but still better than the rest.
Most importantly, Ling Han was only required to advance into the Shattering Void Tier, and that was all. Upon entering the Immortal Realm, there naturally would be godly techniques for him to cultivate.
Therefore, he ignored the fact that his cultivation speed at the Shattering Void Tier was slightly slower.
There were still some people of the five great sects who had escaped. However, they were currently in fright and considered as target of scorn, so how would they dare to come out? Three months had passed, and everything was calm, while Ling Han’s cultivation was also skyrocketing. He had already entered the third layer of the Heaven Tier. His body arts had also improved significantly.
However, Ling Han believed that if Xiao Miaoyan and the others reappeared, the target would be him!
No matter how brave, they wouldn’t dare to go to find Ma Duo Bao. He was the Number One Killing Formation, after all; it would be a trip of no return for them. Thus, he could only be dealt with by true Immortals. They had communicated with the five sects of the Immortal Realm through a special channel, and reported the matter regarding the godly vessel. It was believed that people from the Immortal Realm would come.
That woman’s power exceeded the common sense; she had to be supremely powerful in the Immortal Realm. Then, how precious the treasure she had guarded with her life would be?
Therefore, Ling Han thought that he and Hu Niu would become the main target of the five sects’ attacks. In addition, the Thousand Corpse Sect was expected to be eager to make a move. The reason why they had not done so was because they weren’t sure whether Ma Duo Bao was deliberately using Ling Han as a bait to lure them out.
Once again, another month had passed, and what was to come finally came.
Xiao Miaoyan and Guan Yang appeared, and with one sword strike, the defensive barrier formed by the totem immediately collapsed. These two people forcefully entered, looking murderous.
“Ling Han, you had better come out now!” they both shouted. “If you still don’t come out, we will slaughter everyone in the Imperial Capital, and then annihilate one city every day! Can you stand by and watch so many people die for your sake?”
“I cannot!” Ling Han trod on air, and stood on the same height as Xiao Miaoyan and Guan Yang, while his face bore a confident smile. “I have come, but the ending will not be what you think. Rather, it will be me taking both down both of you!”
“Hahaha!” Xiao Miaoyan and Guan Yang were both laughing. They had already ascertained the location of Ma Duo Bao. If the other party wanted to come over and help, it would take at least three days.
Wouldn’t three days be enough for them to kill a cultivator of the Heaven Tier over a few hundred times?
Hence, they weren’t in a hurry to take action. Of course, they wouldn’t be intentionally wasting time, either.
“Where did such confidence of yours come from?” Xiao Miaoyan said coldly, exuding anger.
Being the pride of the Immortal Realm, she actually became like a street rat having to go into hiding upon descending to the Lower Realm—how could she accept such humiliation? Now, she intended to take out her resentment on Ling Han. Had the latter not intervened, the Purple Moon Empire would have already lost their bet, and wouldn’t be able to make a move within a hundred years.
With a hundred years’ time, the five sects of the Immortal Realm should have already finished setting up the channel to the Lower Realm. So what of the world’s Number One Killing Formation? Even though he couldn’t be killed, he could be trapped in exile; they’d let him watch the creatures of the entire realm be refined into an alchemical pill!
Hence, her hatred for Ling Han even exceeded that for Ma Duo Bao.
Ling Han did not answer. He just gazed into the distance, and said, “Asura Demon Emperor. Since you have come, why do you hide yourself?”
“Hey, you’re just a mere little cultivator of the Heaven Tier. How did you discover me?” The Asura Demon Emperor revealed his appearance in the distance, a puzzled and astonished expression on his face.

Ling Han smiled nonchalantly, and said, “You practically reek of evil, so how hard can it be to locate you? I can sniff you out from a hundred li.”
This, of course, was just talk—in reality, it was because he had control of the power of the nation. If he willed it, the entire nation’s every move could be monitored through the totems over the various cities.
It was just that manpower was limited; he could not be distracted or have nothing better to do than to check up on other people’s private life. However, with his family and friends residing in the Imperial Capital, he naturally had it under his control.
“Heng, just a puny Heaven Tier warrior, you don’t even know how wide the gap between us is. I, for one, would like to hear what capabilities you have to make it out of here alive.” Xiao Miaoyan sneered.
She despised Ling Han to the core.
“Kid, this woman’s looks are not bad, catch her for Lord Rabbit to serve as a maid!” Rabbit shouted sneakily from below,
Xiao Miaoyan immediately flew into a rage, but as her glance swept over Rabbit, she could not refrain from in
advertently asking, “A descendant of Zong Qingyi?”
“What Zong Qingyi, you ought to call him ‘ancestor’!” snapped Rabbit at once.
Xiao Miaoyan’s pretty face twitched, but she surprisingly no longer refuted. Zong Qingyi was also an exceedingly outstanding figure in the Immortal Realm; hence, the five sects would not lay their hands on his descendants. Otherwise, Rabbit’s bloodline would have gone extinct long ago.
She paid no heed to it, and kept staring at Ling Han as she said, “Although a physique of Level Ten precious metal is strong, as long as it falls into my hands, there are plenty of means to refine you!”
“That does sound kinda scary.” Ling Han guffawed with hearty laughter. “The lot of you cruelly harm the living beings of the Lower Realm, being maniacal to the extent of refining a whole realm into an alchemical pill. Today, I will slay the lot of you, and sever your heads to offer as sacrifices to our ancestors.”
“Kid, don’t. Leave that woman for Lord Rabbit to serve as a maid; that man also can be used as a mount for Lord Rabbit, it would be best if you could leave both!” Rabbit interjected again.
Xiao Miaoyan naturally directly ignored Rabbit, and said, “You lot gathered Spiritual Herbs and killed Demonic Beasts, don’t tell me that is not maniacal?”
“Hahahaha!” Ling Han laughed coldly. “To actually compare beings of the same race as yourself to Demonic Beasts, I see you are cold-blooded to the extreme!”
“Same race?” Guan Yang swept his eyes across the entire Imperial Capital disdainfully, then asked in return, “Are you guys worthy of it?”
There was nothing much to say anymore!
“Well, bring it on. Today, don’t even think of running away, the three of you! What perfect timing to get rid of a huge trouble!” Ling Han retorted frostily. Xiao Miaoyan and Guan Yang both possessed battle prowess of eighteen Stars of Shattering Void Tier, undoubtedly being the largest threat. Getting rid of them now, the rest would not be much of a trouble—the Eight Kings were more than capable of taking care of it.
