Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

by Flying Alone 孤单地飞

  People were always forgetful. Ma Duo Bao had battled so fiercely at the time, but after half a year had passed, they were all living their own lives, and it was rare that people would speak again of this tragic figure.

  However, Ling Han and the seven Kings were naturally not going to forget him. They were all filled with eagerness to split open the skies, to become Immortals, and to annihilate the five sects and the Ao Clan!

  This was not something that could be achieved overnight, but none of them lacked patience or determination.

  Helian Tianyun once again swept the seas, and united the four seas into one, which also became the territory of the Great Ling Empire. Now, it was really “all land under the skies belonged to imperial authority”. Ling Han could grasp the movements in every place in the world—if he wanted to.

  He had now control over all the resources of the entire realm, and added with the Black Tower, his cultivation rate was naturally frighteningly quick. Of course, most importantly, it was also because he had experienced the Shattering Void Tier once before in his reincarnation, which allowed him to attain the comprehension of the Shattering Void Tier in advance, so there was not even a bit of bottleneck for him.

  After another half a year, Ling Han finally advanced into the ninth layer of the Shattering Void Tier. By now, he was only twenty-two years old.

  “Throughout my journey, I have perfected my cultivation, or even surpassed the limits, so my current strength has reached ten Stars.” Ling Han estimated his own battle prowess.

  Even though he had managed to reach perfection for all the previous nine Tiers, and now he only needed to increase his battle prowess by a single Star, one should know that the difference of a single Star in Shattering Void Tier meant a world of difference. This kind of improvement was incredibly amazing.

  “If I use my full power, my conventional battle prowess would reach twenty Stars.”

  This was not Ling Han’s limit, because he had just advanced into the ninth layer of the Shattering Void Tier, and could still polish his cultivation and purify his Origin Power further in order to further increase his strength. Perhaps, he might be able to reach eleven Stars of Shattering Void Tier. Then, his standard battle prowess would be able to break through the limits of twenty Stars of the Shattering Void Tier!

  This was extremely amazing.

  Ma Duo Bao was so powerful, but his conventional battle prowess could only be twenty Stars; overcoming this limit in battle prowess was indeed terrifying beyond comparison.

  … Helian Tianyun would also have an opportunity to reach battle prowess of twenty-one Stars. Given that he had nurtured his second life from the True Dragon Fang, he ought to be even stronger.

  In that case, what if he was boosted with power of the nation?

  Ling Han condensed power of the nation, gathering its terrifying power which pushed his power up to twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier. This was the limit allowed by the lower realm, and couldn’t be upgraded anymore. This was the accumulation of the entire power of the nation of the four seas and the mainland; the limit of this power wouldn’t just be twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier.

  Other people would not have encountered this problem at all, because their bodies wouldn’t be able to bear it, and would explode into pieces before they could reach the ultimate power of twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier. However, Ling Han’s body had reached the level of Godly metal, and was still unable to accommodate all of it.

  Although the power wouldn’t immediately come into effect within his own body, it was possible that before taking a strike, similar to how condensing Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth would enhance the power of that strike, his power would conversely be enhanced as well.

  “25 Stars of Shattering Void Tier?” Ling Han wasn’t sure; this kind of battle prowess was unprecedented, so there was nothing to reference.

  In short, he had to be stronger than Ma Duo Bao when he split open the sky, and definitely not by just a tiny bit.

  But my actual trump card is my physique! Ling Han thought to himself. When the time came for him to split open the sky, the ultimate elites of the Immortal Realm’s five sects would definitely strike again. However, their attacks would be weakened by the powers of the realm, so what if they reached the level of twenty-five Stars?

  He still could not be wounded!

  “There’s a little bit of progress with my cultivation of the second layer of the Indestructible Heaven Scroll. My spirit might not have been strengthened, but it has become more stable. Intending to kill me using the heart of martial arts is completely impossible!”

  The Indestructible Heaven Scroll was indeed very strange, the focal point being “indestructible.”

  The techniques of others would increase either their Origin Power or their brute force, but the first layer of his technique increased the strength of his physical body. The second layer of his technique was also similarly increasing the stability of his spirit rather than letting it grow stronger.

  I heard that the Immortals cultivate their spirits. If the spirits are placed outside the main body, they will be like another version of the self, yet could still evolve into a gold body as tall as thousands of meters and be millions of kilometers away in an instant—it is extremely amazing.

  Even though the Indestructible Heaven Scroll can’t strengthen the spirit, it can steadily promote its sense of security, just like the physique.

  The current me is strong enough to split open the sky!

  However, I must first resolve some issues passed down through history.

  Ling Han thought to himself that, upon successfully splitting open the sky and having entered the Immortal Realm, there would be countless powerful forces coming over to compete for control of the lower realm. This… Ling Han would not be able to resist.

  Anyone else also wouldn’t be able to resist, and would have no other choice but to give in.

  According to Yi Shuang Shuang, the great forces of the Immortal Realm would not directly annex a small realm that came up by splitting open the sky, but would absorb it as a dependent country; its sovereign couldn’t hold his position to oversee the country, but needed to submit as hostage.

  Not satisfied? Then you would be immediately sent to war at the realm’s boundary; you would possibly be dead within minutes.

  In other words, after splitting open the sky, all living creatures of the lower realm could escape the fate of being refined into a Realm Pill, and even get a better cultivation environment. However, the one who opened up the sky would lose his freedom, and possibly become a country’s sovereign in name only.

  However, Ling Han believed in himself—shallow waters might be able trap a true dragon for a while, but not forever!

  “First, let’s go to Wind Moon Sect 1 !”

  Ling Han did not bring anyone else; his figure unfolded and rushed toward the Wind Moon Sect.

  In the past, he had killed Hu Qing Fang, the only son of Hu Jian Yi, the sect leader of the Wind Moon Sect. He ended up being chased down by Hu Jian Yi. Later, thanks to Feng Po Yun’s assistance, Hu Jian Yi had to back out. However, Ling Han said at the time that after his cultivation had reached the Heaven Tier, he would personally go to the Wind Moon Sect and uproot this evil sect.

  It was only that he had been busy cultivating so far. It was only now that he finally had some free time.

  His current speed was extremely fast, so fast that he had already arrived at the main gate of Wind Moon Sect one day later.

  From the outside, this sect did appear rather elegant with white clouds lingering on the peaks, full of an ethereal atmosphere. Yet, this was a place where evil people were sheltered and wrongdoing accepted, hiding unrivaled darkness.

  Ling Han raised his right hand, and the Rock Spirit leapt out of the Black Tower. He instructed calmly, “Tear it apart!”

 
The Rock Spirit immediately burst into a smile—Old Stone was really skilled in things like wreaking havoc. Peng , it rushed out, and slammed on the main gate with a punch, directly blasting it out of the way.

  Suddenly, gravel flew everywhere, causing the disciples of the Wind Moon Sect who were guarding the main gate to curse incessantly. When they were hit by the gravel, the pain was so deep that they felt it in their bones—it was unbearably torturous.

  “Who are you? How dare you break into the Wind Moon Sect!” they reproved while crying in pain. They would be skinned alive by the sect’s elites if they turned back without confirming the identity of the intruder.

  Of course, the Rock Spirit would not pay any attention to them. It brandished its long and thick arms, not even needing to smash, and a rising gale already turned those disciples of the Wind Moon Sect into bloody froth.

  It had already achieved the Shattering Void Tier, and furthermore had reached the third layer thereof. Thus, such destructive power was nothing surprising.

  Ling Han walked with his hands crossed behind him as he headed into the mountains.

  “Who are— ah!”

  “Stop where— ah!”

  “Go and inform the sect’s elites— ah!”

  A lot of the Wind Moon Sect’s disciples jumped out along the way, but they were all immediately smashed to death by the Rock Spirit; even the strong were no exception. When an elite of the Deity Transformation Tier was also smashed to death, no one dared to jump out anymore; they just looked at the Rock Spirit with a fearful gaze.

  Just what kind of existence was this? So inconceivably strong.

  “Kill all of them!” Ling Han said coldly.

  Had it been any other party, he would have shown mercy and given them a way out. At the very least, he would not have killed all of them from top to bottom. However, the disciples of the Wind Moon Sect were an exception because they all practiced a Harvest Supplement Technique. Their lifetime of cultivation had been built upon the sacrifice of countless human lives.

  Everyone had a way to kill.

  Rock Spirit faithfully executed the order, and its mind shrouded the entire Wind Moon Sect, not allowing anyone to escape. For a Shattering Void Tier cultivator, doing this was just too easy.

  “Stop!” Hu Jian Yi finally appeared. Clenching his teeth, he looked at Ling Han with eyes full of hatred and even more fear. It took only a few years for this young man to grow to the height that he could only look up to.

  He did know that Ling Han would one day surpass himself, but did not expect that this day would come so fast.

  “Stop? Whom are you giving orders to?” Ling Han said with indifference. The Rock Spirit only listened to the commands of Ling Han alone. Of course, it paid no heed to Hu Jian Yi, and kept smashing incessantly.

  No matter how far the disciples of the Wind Moon Sect had hidden, it could still crush them to death using a punch from a distance; the gap in strength was really too large.

  “If you do not stop, these women will be dead!” Hu Jian Yi said coldly as he pointed to a platform halfway up the mountain.

  Ling Han focused his gaze over in that direction and saw that there were hundreds of women sitting on the platform. They were all very young, but now there was a sharp blade placed against each of their necks, and behind them stood a murderous Wind Moon Sect disciple.

  “As long as you pledge not to make things difficult for the Wind Moon Sect, I can also swear that this sect will properly practice a righteous path of cultivation from today!” Hu Jian Yi proposed.

  Ling Han couldn’t help but burst out laughing, saying, “On what basis should I believe that a dog will change its ****?”

  “I’ve applied a secret technique on these women. Just by projecting my intention, their hearts will explode, causing their death! Furthermore, as long as my heart stops beating, they will suffer the same fate!” Hu Jian Yi sneered. “As the ruler of the Great Ling Empire, can you bear those innocent people dying for your sake?”

  “No!” Ling Han shook his head.

  Hu Jian Yi immediately felt overjoyed, and said, “Then, quickly make an oath!”

  “Who ever said that I will let you go?” Ling Han smiled. “You really are a shameless person. Don’t think too highly of yourself.”

  “Damn it!” Hu Jian Yi’s eyes shot fire. “Are you making fun of me? I am a sect leader, at the least! If worse comes to worst, I shall destroy everything. Anyway, there are so many beautiful ladies to accompany me, so at least I won’t be lonely in the afterlife!”

  “I’ve already said, in your dreams! Why are you still being so narcissistic?” Ling Han said smilingly.

  “Humph! Then I shall kill a few as a reminder to you!” Hu Jian Yi said menacingly.

  Since Ling Han became the sovereign of the middle state, he had foreseen that a day like this would happen. Of course, he would not be resigned to wait for death, and thus had prepared for the present scene.

  So what if his act was despicable? As long as he could preserve his life, he would even do something that was more despicable by tenfold.

  Pu!

  He felt a flash before his eyes, and then heard two heartbeats ringing in front of him. At first, he could only stare blankly; he didn’t expect Ling Han to strike against him. Could the latter really disregard the lives of those women?

  But, he then had another thought—why would there be two heartbeats? Wasn’t the other party just one person?

  He looked at Ling Han, and saw the latter’s hand holding a bloody, red heart. The strange thing was that the heart was still beating.

  His chest felt so painful!

  Hu Jian Yi lowered his head, and was surprised to see that there was a bloody hole in his chest, where fresh blood was oozing out. Only then did he realize that the heart that Ling Han was holding in his hand was his!

  When did the other party claw out his heart?

  Incomprehensible thoughts flashed through Hu Jian Yi’s mind, but the fact was that his consciousness was becoming fuzzy. He had wanted to issue the order to kill, annihilating everyone and letting them be buried together with him in death, but this thought could not be projected out at all.

  In front of him, there was only Ling Han’s chilly gaze. At the back of his mind, his consciousness which was getting more and more blurry slowly dissipated from his body, causing him to become a corpse.

  Ling Han came onto the platform with a quick step, and unleashed his imposing aura. Peng, peng, peng , everyone was trembling all over, not even having the ability to move a finger. Ling Han’s divine sense swept past; with apa, pa, pa, the disciples of the Wind Moon Sect were killed as their hearts were crushed to pieces, while those captured women were released.

  A plan to hinder him using a method of the Heaven Tier?

  Ling Han summoned the guards in the nearby cities, and let them escort these women back. This kind of trivial matter certainly wouldn’t need to be taken on personally by the country’s sovereign. He linked with the totem and placed the entire lower realm under his telepathic sense.

  He remained motionless, and abruptly opened his eyes a day later.

  Found it!

  He immediately unfolded his body, and flew to a place in the middle state.

  ***

  One day later, Ling Han came to a small town. Just a day ago, he had discovered through the totem that a member of the Thousand Corpse Sect was roaming here, and he was one of the generals—Corpse Boss!

  Before entering the Immortal Realm, Ling Han had to completely eliminate the Thousand Corpse Sect. On the contrary, there was no news on the remaining members of the five great sects such as the Sword King and the others. It was unknown on which mountain or deep in which forest they were hiding; they would likely only appear when the immortals descended to the lower realm.

  Ling Han walked slowly, looking for traces of Corpse Boss. With
out realizing, he came to a river.

  In front, there was a young man standing on a large rock, with his gaze fixed on the river. His facial expression was very interesting; one moment he was angry, and the next disappointed.

  He looked to be just about fifteen or sixteen years old, but seemed to have met with huge setbacks in life.

  “Gonna jump?” Ling Han asked casually as he walked over.

  The clothing worn by the young man was of very high grade, but the fabric was old and had been washed to the point that their colors faded, turning spotlessly clean. It seemed that he had been wearing the same piece of clothing without any replacement. He turned around to look at Ling Han before immediately regaining his composure. “You can be assured. I won’t jump.”

  “Based on your looks, it seemed that you will jump in any time,” Ling Han said with a smile.

  “This has nothing to do with you, right?” the young man said indifferently.

  Ling Han was idle anyway, so he suggested, “Let’s talk about it, what grievances have you encountered?”

  The young man cast him another glance. Naturally, he did not intend to have a heart-to-heart talk with a stranger, but he couldn’t resist Ling Han, who had rich experiences in life. With just a few words that had struck home with him, he unconsciously opened up and started talking about it.

  “My name is Ding Ping, the first heir to the Ding Family. I have been strong as an ox since young, and have been hailed as a genius and incessantly sought after by my clansmen. I also have a very beautiful fiancee. However, time slowly passed, yet my Spirit Base has yet to be awakened. It was only half a year ago that my Spirit Base had finally awakened, but it is a wilted Spirit Base with no way to cultivate!

  “Now, my family members regard me as trash, and my fiancee terminated our marriage contract!

  “I’m resentful, wondering why would the heavens do this to me!

  “What I am even more dissatisfied with is that I have worked harder and put in more effort than anyone else in the past few years. Why am I still lacking compared to the others?”
