Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

by Flying Alone 孤单地飞

  “You talk as if you are very powerful!” The Asura Demon Emperor scoffed; at the same time, he felt great displeasure in his heart. He and Xiao Miaoyan’s group were not together; rather, he had arrived in the vicinity of the Imperial Capital much earlier, and was waiting for an opportunity to capture either Ling Han or Hu Niu.

  Seeing Xiao Miaoyan and her companion appear, the idea of taking advantage of them occurred to him—he’d use them as cover to stealthily come over. Yet, he was unexpectedly exposed by Ling Han’s shout.

  Ling Han let his piercing gaze run over Xiao Miaoyan and Guan Yang, completely ignoring the Asura Demon Emperor, which made the latter nearly mad with fury. Back in the day, he was also one of the super elites who struck fear into the whole Lower Realm; then, at the cost of countless deaths, he was divided into nine parts to suppress him. Yet now, Ling Han regarded him as nothing!

  Damn it, if it was not that his level had dropped sharply, and for his being assigned an important mission, he would have burst forth with Immortal level power to kill off Ling Han now, come hell or high water.

  “Small Tower!” Ling Han called out softly in his heart. The Black Tower immediately channeled forth energy into him, and his strength instantly soared. In addition, he drew out power of the nation, making his strength rise further.

  “What!?”

  Xiao Miaoyan and the others all cried out in alarm at the same time. How come Ling Han seemed to have changed into a totally different person in a flash? How did the feel of this kind of energy cause them to shudder involuntarily?

  Even those with the battle prowess of eighteen Stars of Shattering Void Tier were shuddering, so just what kind of changes actually took place in Ling Han’s body?

  Ling Han gave a snort, and drew out the Revere Life Sword. With a jerk of his hand, this Number One Killing Sword was immediately activated, emitting infinite brilliance. Now that Ling Han had truly achieved the strength of the Shattering Void Tier, he naturally fully released this sword’s power.

  “I! Don’t! Believe!” Xiao Miaoyan denounced him loudly. A pair of huge wings sprouted from her back, and with a light flap, her energy was immediately heightened to a great extent. Wielding a blood-red treasured sword, she charged to meet Ling Han head on.

  She circulated her bloodline, and raised the level of her battle prowess to the utmost.

  This was the battle prowess of eighteen Stars of Shattering Void Tier. Without using her bloodline, her battle prowess was only sixteen to seventeen Stars.

  Hong!

  The two swords clashed, causing an epic burst of amazing light rays; the Sword Qi shot straight up into the vast sky, and again a wide patch of stars and constellations took the brunt of it as they fell in profusion from the impact. Immediately following this, amid the mass of light that burst forth, a person was seen being catapulted through it, like a cannonball being shot, heavily smashing into the distant mountains and immediately vanishing there.

  Hong, long, long , a mountain peak collapsed, issuing a loud noise and causing huge tremors to course through the ground.

  Guan Yang stared dumbly. He could see clearly that the person who flew out just now was precisely Xiao Miaoyan.

  This, this, this, this!

  As strong as Xiao Miaoyan was, she also could not stop Ling Han’s sword?

  What kind of battle prowess was this?

  The Asura Demon Emperor’s body was also trembling—too scary! Another monster attaining the battle prowess of twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier finally appeared! This was indeed the pinnacle of humanity—even he, an unusual being from the Netherworld, might be killed.

  Run!

  Asura Demon Emperor’s fighting intent immediately vanished, and he only wanted to sneak away now. This turn of events was something he never would have envisioned when he first met Ling Han. To think that there would actually be a day that he would lose his guts from being terrified by Ling Han…

  Ling Han drew up his long sword. Xiao Miaoyan had actually fought him forcefully head on… wasn’t that courting death? Originally, with her battle prowess of eighteen Stars of Shattering Void Tier, it would be decent enough for her to contend with him for a few rounds, yet she persisted to fight him head on. Thus, she was naturally inflicted with heavy injuries in just one move.

  With the energy channeled from the Black Tower and the addition of the power of the nation, his strength has already reached twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier.

  Note that it was strength that had reached twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier without having to use any secret arts at all. Any random strike of his already represented the strongest in this world.

  Then, if he circulated the Three Styles of Black Origin, or perhaps the Earth Overturning Seal and other such, what kind of extent would his battle prowess reach?

  No wonder that the five sects wanted to draw Ma Duo Bao out from the Purple Moon Empire for another fight to the death. Ma Duo Bao with the addition of the power of the nation would really match the battle prowess of a god, a battle prowess of Immortal Grade that wasn’t allowed to exist by the Laws of Heaven and Earth in this realm.

  “Want to flee?” Ling Han smiled coldly, striking his sword towards the Asura Demon Emperor.

  Pu , the Asura Demon Emperor’s body immediately collapsed to pieces, without even a slight doubt.

  Now, what did one with battle prowess of fifteen Stars of Shattering Void Tier make in the face of Ling Han? For sure, he would be dead in one blow. However, the Asura Demon Emperor would not die so easily—though the body had already been shattered to pieces, a gust of black Qi actually floated out, unceasingly intertwining as if forming some kind of body, but it was not at all firm.

  He was already without a form originally; rather, he evolved from the Demonic Qi of Primal Chaos.

  Ling Han struck again with his sword. The Demonic Qi was chopped into two, but it very quickly fused back together again as if owning an undying body.

  “Hahaha, I am transformed from the Demonic Qi of Primal Chaos, and thus an existence that would not die eternally! You want to kill me? It is still a million years too early for you!” The Asura Demon Emperor transmitted this message through his divine sense. Since his body was no more, he was naturally unable to convey it through speech.

  Ling Han snorted, and his figure charged right over. The Sword Heart stirred, and abruptly attacked the Asura Demon Emperor.

  “Ah!” the divine sense of the Asura Demon Emperor immediately gave out a horrible shriek. The Sword Heart, perfected, indeed could slay souls, its effect especially striking when used on this kind of evil demon.

  Taking advantage of the split second of his divine sense being temporarily “disconnected”, Ling Han stretched out his hand and grabbed the Asura Demon Emperor, then put him into the Black Tower.

  Having entered the Black Tower, one could only comply and submit no matter how powerful one was!

  Ling Han turned around, and looked at Yang Guan.

  His battle with the Asura Demon Emperor might have seemed long, but in reality, it was simply a matter of two or three strikes. At this time, Yang Guan was still under immense shock, and had only started to return to his senses just a moment ago.

  Peng , from a distance, Xiao Miaoyan flew out of the broken mountain. The clothes on her body were torn in many places, revealing her snow white skin, making her appear extremely alluring. Blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth, and her face was pale, her hair somewhat messy, and her eyes full of fear.

  She was truly scared.

  How could she match the current Ling Han?

  She was really about to cry. Battle prowess of Eighteen Stars for a Shattering Void cultivator in the Immortal Realm could practically wipe out someone of the same age, at least within the five great sects’ territory, but she was actually slapped in the face repeatedly upon descending on to th
e Lower Realm.

  Ma Duo Bao, a mysterious elite in the huge ship, and now a Ling Han was added.

  Could it be that this was the Immortal Realm instead?

  “Retreat!” She immediately made up her mind. Damn it, she would never come here ever again. It would be better to wait for the Immortal Realm to send their people here first before proceeding further. Such a monster should be dealt with by people of the Immortal Realm.

  Without another word, Yang Guan just turned around and ran.

  Ling Han smiled slightly, and said, “Brother Guan, in any case, you are the pride of the Immortal Realm. How is it that you came here full of confidence and in high spirits, yet now leave with your tail between your legs without even using a single move? That’s inexcusable. Come, let us spar!”

  Spar your sister!

  Yang Guan’s cheek began to twitch. It might have appeared that Xiao Miaoyan had only exchanged a single blow, but that resulted in her taking a hit and being flung far away. She might still appear to be perfectly fine, but was actually suffering from a very serious internal injury. If not treated in time, there would be endless dire consequences.

  But now, there was no time to heal her. He had to flee for his life first!

  He had to keep himself alive; upon his return to the Immortal Realm, there would be spiritual medicine that could treat his injury.

  “Brother Guan is so uncooperative. Then, you leave me with no choice!” Ling Han activated the Demon Fairy Step and Thunderclap Ninth Heaven; his speed as quick as a demon, he instantly stopped in front of Guan Yang to block his path.

  Guan Yang clenched his teeth, and hong , light flickered over his body.

  He ignited his life force with the intention of breaking out of Ling Han’s hold.

  “Didn’t you look down upon creatures of the Lower Realm?” Ling gave a cold smile. With a palm strike, an overflowing print of golden light came in full force, and covered the entire sky. “Now, what are you escaping for? Come fight an ant like me from the Lower Realm!”

  Yang Guan tried escaping. Peng , though his speed was fast, the entire space around him had been sealed off with an imprint of golden light, and he had actually bounced back after hitting against it.

  He was stunned. By burning his life force, a Shattering Void Tier cultivator with battle prowess of Twenty Stars wouldn’t be able to stop his escape, but he was actually blocked now! What did this mean? Ling Han’s battle prowess had actually surpassed twenty Stars!

  Strength could not exceed the limit of twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier, but that didn’t mean that the same would be true for battle prowess!

  “I will launch a single strike with my sword. If you can stop it, I will spare your life!” Ling Han shouted. “This is for real!” These two sentences, he announced to the world through the totem.

  “Long live His Majesty!”

  “Slaughter the Immortals! Slaughter the Immortals! Slaughter the Immortals!”

  The people of the Imperial Capital who knew the truth immediately cheered. Those in the other cities might not be clear of the reasons behind this, but they were all fired up because they felt that their emperor was too domineering. Of course, Helian Xun Xue had explained the whole event in advance through the totem. This was the best time for Ling Han to establish an invincible image.

  Soon, the entire Great Ling Empire knew that their emperor was fighting with the Immortals, that was, the culprit that wanted to make use of them to concoct an alchemical pill!

  Yang Guan and Xiao Miaoyan actually weren’t Immortals, but why bother with these details? Helian Xun Xue even wanted to say that these two people were the strongest of the Immortals so that Ling Han would seem even more domineering.

  While the people of the nation were all fired up, Ling Han realized that the power of the nation that he had absorbed was somewhat stronger, so much so that he felt that he was being filled up to a bursting point.

  With the four regions combined, they were comparable to the middle state.

  True enough, the physique of Level Ten precious metal could only absorb so much power of the nation; any more, and it would cause one to burst! Even someone like Ma Duo Bao had the self-awareness to know that just a portion from the middle state was enough to drive him up the wall.

  Ling Han brandished his sword, and used the Mysterious Three Thousand technique.

  “How can it be! How could you possibly know—”

  Pu!

  Yang Guan was shocked upon seeing the Mysterious Three Thousand. This was a technique of the Heaven’s Sword Sect that wouldn’t be passed down easily. How could it appear in the hands of an ant from the Lower Realm? But before he could finish speaking, his body was sliced to pieces by the Sword Ray.

  There was just too much of a gap between his battle prowess and physique in comparison to Ling Han’s current state, so naturally there wasn’t any need to use 10,000 Techniques Return to One..

  With just a single strike, one known as the pride of the Immortal Realm was killed just like this, dying in the land of the Lower Realm.

  The blood of Shattering Void Tier cultivators was spilled, and with a rumble, the heavens and earth shook. In a sense, this was a precious asset, which would certainly result in the growth of one or even a few high quality Spiritual Herbs after a number of years.

  “Yang Guan!” As Xiao Miaoyan ran, she turned around just in time to watch the scene of Yang Guan being killed by Ling Han’s sword, and could not help but speak harshly as her eyes narrowed to slits. “You dare to kill the people from the Immortal Realm, you are doomed to die! When the ultimate elite of my sect comes, it will be the day of your punishment!”

  Ling Han’s expression remained cold as he picked up his sword and swiftly gave chase. “Every 10,000 years, the five great sects use all living creatures from a single realm to concoct an alchemical pill. With the passing of a few millennia, how much blood debt has been owed? When I enter the Immortal Realm, I will have the five great sects uprooted, and have them settle the old debts incurred from the past few generations!”

  “Like a fish in a pond, you have no idea how big the Immortal Realm is, and how strong the Immortals are!” Xiao Miaoyan burned her lifeforce and ran madly. As long as she escaped out of the Great Ling Empire, Ling Han wouldn’t be so strong, losing the support of the power of the nation.

  At that time, she would fight back and attack if he still dared to give chase.

  “With their fixing their gaze upon the Lower Realm, I can imagine that the five great sects are definitely the weakest sects in the Immortal Realm, and at most have only cultivators of the Sun Moon Tier!” Ling Han said calmly.

  What did you mean only Sun Moon Tier? Did you know how difficult it was to cross over to the Immortal Realm? Don’t just look at the Immortals only being divided into five big tiers; there was a whole world of difference between them, just like between the Body Refining Tier and Shattering Void Tier!

  Every tier was divided into four small tiers. The gap was extremely huge. Practically no one could ever match an opponent on a higher small tier than themselves. Only when the small tiers were further divided into early, middle, late, and peak stages would there appear a genius who could cross over a stage in a small tier.

  Taking all that into account, how strong could the Sun Moon Tier be?

  That was least a dozen levels more than Shattering Void Tier!

  “What big talk!” Xiao Miaoyan naturally would not share any information regarding the Immortal Realm with Ling Han, although she didn’t know that such information had been told to Ling Han by Yi Shuang Shuang. Saying anything would be useless now. If only the ultimate elite of the Immortal Realm came, and, for example, bound Ling Han and brought him into the Immortal Realm, then his so-called invincibility would become a super big joke!

  In the Immortal Realm, wouldn’t killing a Shattering Void Tier cultivator with battle prowess of Twenty Stars be not much different from an Immortal raising his foot to step on an ant?


  “Hehe, if you disagree, then receive a single strike from my sword!” Ling Han rushed to give chase. The other party had burned her lifeforce, but he was reluctant to do the same even if using Thunderclap Ninth Heaven in addition to Demon Fairy Steps wasn’t enough to surpass the other party’s speed.

  However, this was the Great Ling Empire!

  Chapter 846 - An Earth-Shattering Secret

  Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

  All lands under the heavens were under the Imperial Authority!

  The world was mine! You were in my turf, yet wanted to come and go freely as you please? What a joke!

  Ling Han stretched out his hand and pressed, immediately drawing forth countless currents of air. They began slicing towards Xiao Miaoyan, akin to a series of Divine Swords.

  This was not his battle prowess, but rather the use of the power of nation.

  Theoretically speaking, as long as he was in command of the Great Ling Empire, he could barrage any corner within the territory via totems. But, this would require a tremendously strong mental energy to support it—even if Ling Han’s spirit had already advanced to the Shattering Void Tier earlier than expected, it still could not reach infinite boundaries.

  But Xiao Miaoyan was just ten li in front of him; if he could not control anything even at such short distance, then he was too useless, and the power of nation too meaningless.

  Pu!

  Xiao Miaoyan immediately got hit; however, with just the power of nation, it was only nine Stars of Shattering Void Tier, at most ten Stars’ strength, and that was not enough to pose a threat to her. It merely managed to rip a tiny bit of the hem of her clothes, though also compelled her to strike back some to counter the blows.

  After all, she did not have the physique of a monster—how would she dare to forcefully take the attacks head on?
