At first, Ling Han was startled. He hadn’t even made his move yet, so why did Sha Yuan look to be in tremendous pain? However, he immediately understood.
There were restrictions in place here. The moment one’s power reached the Sun Moon Tier, one would definitely be targeted!
Previously, the decree had activated to block a strike from him. Though its might was extraordinary, it had not reached the level of the Sun Moon Tier yet. But now that Sha Yuan was taking the initiative to attack and stimulating the decree, his power had reached the level of the Sun Moon Tier. Naturally, he would be targeted by the restrictions of this place. He had not damaged his enemy yet, but had damaged himself first.
Sha Yuan himself did not understand it yet, and thought that Ling Han had used some kind of secret technique to target him. Not only did he not suppress the might of the decree, he further drew upon the power of the decree.
After the decree was activated, its power would slowly wear down. Even if he left it alone, he could not possibly regain it. Thus, he naturally wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to kill Ling Han.
“Ah…!” However, as he drew upon its power, he was yelling out in even more pain. The decree trembled endlessly as if it was about to shatter apart at any moment.
Pa!
The decree finally crumbled, turning into pieces that flew in all directions. Sha Yuan immediately experienced the backlash, and was throwing up blood madly. Thankfully, he had not been destroyed along with the decree.
His bafflement was clear for all to see. What was going on here? Was this the result when a decree activated? He pointed at Ling Han, and asked in a shaking voice, “You, what demonic tricks have you used?”
“How ignorant!” Ling Han shook his head, and with a flick of his finger, sword light swept past, heading to slice at Sha Yuan.
“Stop!” Ji Zhengping and the others leaped out, helping Sha Yuan to disperse this blow. However, though this was just a careless strike from Ling Han, his present power had reached eight stars above the peak stage of the Mountain River Tier, so how strong was he?
Peng, peng, peng, peng. All four of them were sent flying by this blow. However, also because of this, Sha Yuan managed to fortunately escape death.
“If you all want to help him, I will slice you apart together as well,” Ling Han said calmly. “So, who else wants to stop me?”
Chapter 1182 - Killing Sha Yuan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“You, you are that mysterious man!” The four people from the Majestic Heaven Sect all pointed at Ling Han. Only now did they realize that this man could not possibly be the “bumpkin” that Sha Yuan had spoken of, but was instead the mysterious elite that had wounded Ji Zhengping with a single arrow.
Impossible!
When had there appeared yet another powerful king tier in the young generation? Just looking at that attack just now, it was definitely capable of matching those of He Tao, Wu Zhe, and the other king tiers.
Ling Han’s eyes swept over them, and he demanded, “Leave your Spatial Spirit Tools behind, then get lost!”
These people wanted to rob him, so there was naturally no reason for him to let them go unscathed. That would be letting them off too easy.
“Don’t go too far!” Ji Zhengping shouted in anger. However, as his shoulder was still streaming blood, it seriously impacted his image. He absolutely radiated no intimidation to speak of.
Ling Han smiled calmly, and said, “The path that you have previously walked on had been too smooth, hadn’t it? To actually utter such naive words! Humph, in front of me, who do you think you are? If you do not obediently leave your Spatial Spirit Tools behind, then I will kill all of you!”
Ji Zhengping felt as if he had suffered a tremendous humiliation, yet he couldn’t help but think that he, too, had used the Viper Poison Explosive Pill as a threat. If they did not hand over the Berserk Blood Spirit Pill, he would kill them, and now they were just getting their just desserts.
Fair? In this world, whoever had the stronger power would represent what was fair.
“Well, aren’t you ruthless!” Ji Zhengping and the others all drew out their spatial rings, which they then threw onto the ground, appearing to be very indignant. They could all be considered geniuses, and it had always been them who could behave unscrupulously; when have they been humiliated like this before?
Sha Yuan, too, tossed out a spatial ring, and was just about to leave with Ji Zhengping and the others.
Ling Han broke into laughter in spite of himself, and said, “Young Master Sha, has your head been kicked by a donkey? Did I say you could leave?”
“Ling Han, you truly want to kill me? Aren’t you afraid that my father would fly into a rage, and race over here to take your wretched life?” Sha Yuan asked ferociously. Now that the decree had been destroyed, he had finally become truly afraid. When he spoke these words, he was merely putting on a fierce facade to hide his fear.
Ling Han shook his head, and said, “With such a dishonest son like you, I believe that Great General Sha would not mind having one less.”
“Sir, you have already obtained riches, so why do you have to be so imperious?” a young man in blue advised. The five of them had come together, so he was naturally unwilling to see his companion being killed.
“If I have killed your whole family, then tell you, ‘Since they have all died, don’t be so forceful anymore’, would you be pleased or not?” Ling Han cast an eye on him, and then impatiently said, “In three breaths, all of you get lost. If not, you all can die with him!”
He was truly angered now, and his frightening aura was like an ocean, incredibly terrifying.
Ji Zhengping and the others were all shocked. This was definitely a king tier’s aura!
How could a king tier allow others to challenge their authority?
All their faces were pallid, and they all turned and left, not daring to say one more word of nonsense to avoid being killed by Ling Han together with Sha Yuan—since Ling Han had already decided to kill a key disciple of the Majestic Heaven Sect, who furthermore was the son of a Heavenly Body Tier, it wouldn’t be a big issue to him to kill a few more key disciples and descendants of Heavenly Body Tier.
“Don’t leave, save me! Save me!” Sha Yuan was dumbfounded. This was the first time that he felt death was so near to him, causing him to feel cold all over.
Ji Zhengping and the others ignored his pleas, and ran away quickly.
Sha Yuan turned around blankly, looked at Ling Han for a while, and then suddenly said, “Don’t kill me! I can become your friend! I am the son of an elite of Heavenly Body Tier. If you have a friend like me, that would definitely not be a loss to you!”
Ling Han broke into a smile, and said, “I really do not want to say such things to scare you! However, since you feel so good about yourself, if I did not give you a bit of a blow, I really couldn’t live with myself. On the topic of friends, I have a friend who is a Saint. Furthermore, the empress herself would be my wife in future. This friendship of yours… sigh, I really couldn’t care less.”
Sha Yuan was gaping in open-mouthed shock. ‘You must f****** be lying to me!’
Saint!
How could that be? Only those in the Genesis Tier could be called Saints. If you were able to be friends with a Saint, then wouldn’t you be able to do as you liked in this world? And you actually said you wanted to marry the empress? Pei, how noble and remote was Her Imperial Majesty, the empress? Even his old man could only salivate in secret, so what right did Ling Han have to say so?
“You are a man who is about to die, so there is no need to deceive you. However, there is also no need for me to force you to believe me.” Ling Han smiled. “Are you prepared to die now?”
Sha Yuan only felt a coldness all over his whole body. His legs involuntarily weakened, and he was down on his knees, weeping, “Don’t kill me! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!”
&nbs
p; “That’s right. No one wants to die!” Ling Han raised his hand. “But for the sake of your selfish desires, you coveted the fated opportunities I have achieved, and sent assassins to hunt me down and kill me. I fear that if I had not had a few tricks up my sleeve, grass would have already long started growing on my grave.”
He threw out a punch, and a terrifying power descended. Pa, Sha Yuan had instantly exploded into nothing, both his figure and spirit destroyed, turning into a bloody mist that filled the air. There was not even a complete part of his corpse left behind.
“Hey, handsome, now that you have killed a disciple of the Majestic Heaven Sect, would you want to kill us as well to keep the secret?” Meng Wei swallowed with much difficulty.
The others all hurriedly cast looks at their leader as if to say “Why the f*** are you asking him that? Why don’t we just play dumb, then secretly sneak away? Now that you asked, aren’t you simply reminding him of that?”.
Ling Han laughed loudly, and said, “It’s fine. In any case, I have already let four people flee, so I would not mind leaving a few more people alive… You guys aren’t planning to tell on me, are you?”
Meng Wei and his group hurriedly shook their heads in denial.
“That’s great.” Ling Han picked up the spatial rings that Ji Zhengping and his group had left behind, and drew out the items inside one after another. Then, he stored them into the Black Tower.
If he placed them in his own spatial ring, then what if they were found in the future? He would then be identified as the murderer. But if he placed them in the Black Tower, who would be able to find them there?
“Handsome, this bottle of Berserk Blood Spirit Pills is yours.” Meng Wei handed over the alchemical pill bottle she had just gained.
Ling Han smiled, and asked, “Haven’t we decided to split equally?”
“You have saved us another time. Furthermore, we have also obtained so many pill recipes, so we have already greatly profited! As humans, we should not be too greedy.” Meng Wei shook her head.
“All right.” Ling Han accepted the alchemical pills. In the process of obtaining the treasure trove here, it was him who worked the hardest, so even if he took an additional bottle—even if it was a bottle, there was actually only a single alchemical pill inside—it would not be too much to ask.
“Then, handsome, we will excuse ourselves here!” Meng Wei clasped her hands, and when Ling Han nodded, she added, “You really don’t want to have some nice goodbye s*x?”
“F*ck off!”
After they watched Meng Wei and his group leave, Ling Han and his group also set out. However, Ling Han’s attention had been drawn to the pill recipes that he had just obtained.
He would definitely be unable to concoct an alchemical pill above Level Five, as the requirement for his divine sense was rather big. However, he could barely be capable of Level Five. After all, his spirit was continuously being tempered by the Indestructible Heaven’s Scroll, and was far stronger than the spirit of an ordinary Mountain River Tier. Moreover, he had also stepped into the pinnacle level.
He searched for a while, and discovered that, astonishingly, the Berserk Blood Spirit Pill Recipe was amongst these pill recipes!
Chapter 1183 - Red Rain Divine King Tree
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Berserk Blood Spirit Pill would boost up a Sun Moon Tier by a sub-minor level upon consumption, and there was no limitation to cultivation level.
It meant that if someone in the middle stage of the low extreme of the Sun Moon Tier took one, he would be able to reach the late stage of the low extreme, and if someone in the early stage of the consummate level took one, he, too, could similarly reach the middle stage of the consummate level.
This effect was too astonishing.
However, when Ling Han looked at the ingredients listed out in the pill recipe, he gritted his teeth.
An alchemical pill that could defy nature naturally would require extremely amazing ingredients as well.
One of the most important main ingredients was called the fruit of the Red Rain Divine King Tree. Though it was only a Level Eight Godly medicine, it was incredibly rare. Furthermore, the required age for the fruit to be capable of usage was as much as a million years. If this was in the Black Tower, from the moment of planting onwards, it would still need as long as a 1,000 years.
For Immortals, a millennium was indeed not long. Mountain River Tiers might not even be capable of advancing further in that amount of time. However, Ling Han had advanced through the cultivation levels too quickly, so 1,000 years was really something he could not accept.
However, if he managed to find the fruit of the Red Rain Divine King Tree, he would still gather them.
Even if not for himself, he could also prepare it for his brothers, the friends by his side, his beautiful wives and lovers, parents, and children. In short, this kind of precious medicine was the more the better, and he would definitely not ignore it.
Of course, if it would have an obvious effect on even cultivators at the consummate level of the Sun Moon Tier, the Berserk Blood Spirit Pill was naturally a Level Eight Divine Pill. If it was consumed by cultivators in the low extreme, medium extreme, and high extreme of the Sun Moon Tier, there would be a certain amount of risk as they could possibly explode from the powerful effects.
Thus, if these people consumed the Berserk Blood Spirit Pill, they had to have a senior protecting them from the sidelines, using the power of a great elite to suppress the medicinal effects. Otherwise, if they really died from consuming medicine, wouldn’t that be too worthless a death?
Ling Han placed the Berserk Blood Spirit Pill aside first. Firstly, his divine sense was not strong enough at present, and secondly, there were no ingredients for him to begin concoction.
The first one he prepared to concoct was the “Thousand Crane Pill”.
It could grant all cultivators below the Heavenly Body Tier the ability to fly, though it was only temporary, expiring when the medicinal effects were no longer active. Furthermore, it could cause one’s speed to spike rapidly, so it was very practical.
In a crucial time, it could be used to save a life.
A life-saving alchemical pill was definitely the most valuable.
The three of them journeyed during the day, and they would stop to rest at night. Traveling in this kind of dangerous place, they naturally had to ensure that their best condition was maintained as much as possible.
At night, Ling Han would comprehend the pill recipes underneath the Reincarnation Tree.
He was the Alchemy Emperor, and was naturally a maniac in this field as well. Once he began his studies, he was unstoppable. For a considerable number of days, he would be sitting by himself under the Reincarnation Tree, which made Shui Yanyu feel strange.
Usually, Ling Han would be teasing her, causing her to blush furiously, greatly embarrassed. But now? He had been treating her like empty air for several days in a row by now. He did not even see the seductive signals that she had been casting with her eyes.
She was practically going to die of fury. It was either that he was like a damn pervert, or he would be serious like a complete gentleman. Completely two opposite ends of the spectrum!
After walking for another few days, a mountain appeared ahead of them.
This mountain… could only be considered half a mountain, as if had been slashed in half at about halfway up. The remaining half of the mountain now appeared a little weird as it ended abruptly.
There were figures flickering on the mountain, and it was not just one or two, but rather an extremely large number of them.
Ling Han and his group walked to the foot of the mountain, and then found out that this was a mountain of herbs. There was a great many types of Godly medicine growing here.
Low-grade Godly medicine could be harvested as much as one liked, but high-grade Godly medicine would be guarded by restrictions. If one wanted to dissolve these restrictio
ns… it was very difficult. There were some that could not even possibly be broken through, and would require at least power on the level of the Heavenly Body Tier.
Ling Han couldn’t help but feel pleased. Perhaps there might be ripe fruits of the Red Rain Divine King Tree here?
Then he would only need to advance into Sun Moon Tier, and he would be able to concoct the Berserk Blood Spirit Pill. His abilities would then soar consequently.
Moreover, even if it wasn’t for the sake of the fruit of the Red Rain Divine King Tree, as long as there was Godly medicine, wasn’t it all worth harvesting?
The three of them had apparently come a little late. The low-grade Godly medicines that were not protected by restrictions here had all been harvested. However, Ling Han was not all that interested in these types of Godly medicine, in any case. There was already a great amount of Godly medicine being cultivated inside the Black Tower, though its grade was slightly lower.
They searched as they walked, and very soon found a few Godly medicines that were protected by restrictions. Their grade was as high as Level Seven, but they were not ripe yet. Going by Ling Han’s deduction, it should be the mother plant had ripened, but because it had not been harvested, its seeds fell onto its original grounds, which resulted in a number of new plants.
Because this area had been designed for a single Godly medicine to grow in the first place, there were now a good number, and though it did not appear crowded, the nutrients were obviously inadequate, which caused these few stalks of Godly medicine to appear a little dispirited.
“I have allowed you all to suffer. I will soon save you!” Ling Han said, smiling involuntarily.
“…I haven’t seen someone as shameless as you. You are obviously using them to concoct alchemical pills, and still make it seem as if you are the savior.” Hu Feiyun made a face at him.
“Then don’t eat the alchemical pills I concoct!” Ling Han replied with a grin.
“I was just saying, you’re being so petty!” Hu Feiyun said with a pout.
