Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

Ling Han and the five others were king tiers of the younger generation. Even if there were other king tiers in the vast Immortal Realm, it was very likely that they would only be as powerful as them. They were all at the peak stage of the pinnacle level, so it would be extraordinarily difficult to surpass them, even by just a tiny margin.
It was just that Shen Zhu’er and the others didn’t dare to unleash their full 10-star power at this moment. Otherwise, they would be attacked by the restriction of this mystery realm. In that case, they wouldn’t be raising their battle prowess—they would be seeking death.
The six king tiers unleashed their most powerful attacks at Wu Zhe.
Wu Zhe appeared especially at ease, and he simply battled against them using a single hand. In fact, the Regulations that he used were also extremely basic—they were simply composed of a few divine patterns. However, the might that they released was tremendous, and they were easily able to block the six king tier’s attacks.
Meanwhile, he continued to restructure his body. Numerous bone spikes protruded from his back, and there was even a solitary horn growing from his forehead. The horn glowed with a faint silver luster.
If Wu Zhe still had his own consciousness, perhaps he might even be pleased with these changes. Although he had been a member of the seven king tiers before, he had undoubtedly been the weakest link in the chain. Now, however? He could withstand the combined attacks of the other six king tiers all by himself! Moreover, he could do so with absolute ease!
This was an incredible feat. If word of this got out, he would definitely become the number one prodigy in the world. He wouldn’t be one of the most powerful prodigies, but the most powerful prodigy!
Unfortunately, he was no longer Wu Zhe.
Wu Zhe twisted his neck, and said, “Amazing… This feels amazing!”
He was at least twice as tall as before, and his physique was also much thicker and bulkier. His skin also appeared very black and patchy.
Looking carefully, one would realize that these were actually patches of divine patterns! It was as if he had been born with these divine patterns on his skins—it was impossible to see any signs of artificial altering.
He stretched his body lazily, then smiled and stared at the six king tiers. “Little sh*ts, how should I kill you? Should I steam you to death, or should I braise you to death?”
“F*ck ya mom!”
Ling Han retreated by some distance, and fired his Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow at Wu Zhe.
Pa!
Wu Zhe raised his right hand and caught the Origin Power arrow between two fingers. This was absolutely terrifying. How fast was the Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow? Yet, he had actually caught it between two fingers!
He grinned, and said, “This arrow is fairly interesting. Had my grasp of the Regulations of heaven and earth not been far above you, I really might’ve been hit!”
“It’s effective!” Shen Zhu’er shouted in excitement. “His hand has been wounded!”
Sure enough, blood was flowing from the webs of Wu Zhe’s fingers.
“Damn it!” Wu Zhe’s expression darkened, and he said, “This body is still too weak!”
“Although his grasp of Regulations is far above us, his body isn’t stronger because of this,” Shi Anguo immediately said. “His power is also unchanged!”
“We still have a chance to defeat him!” He Tao said.
The six of them nodded in agreement. They were all king tiers, so which of them didn’t possess will of steel? Although they were in a dire situation, none of them was panicked or flustered. Rather, they analyzed the situation with calm and composure.
Wu Zhe sneered, and said, “So what? Under the suppression of my Regulations, what trouble can you people pose?”
He extended his hand toward them.
Boom!
The divine patterns on his body lit up and transformed into lengths of divine chains that whipped toward the six king tiers.
Ling Han and the others hurriedly jumped aside. Wu Zhe’s power wasn’t much weaker than theirs, and coupled with his far more powerful Regulations, his battle prowess was already at a level that they couldn’t match.
“Hahaha!” Wu Zhe laughed loudly. It appeared as if a sliver of his original awareness still remained. Otherwise, what was there for him to be so smug about? Ling Han and the others were merely Mountain River Tier “ants” that he could suppress with a flip of his hands.
Ling Han continued to fire his Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow, and he tried his best to maintain the distance between him and Wu Zhe.
The Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow was something that could threaten Wu Zhe.
Wu Zhe didn’t dare to be careless around these attacks. His battle prowess was indeed powerful, but his cultivation was still only at the Mountain River Tier. This was a significant weak point. It meant that he had to deal with attacks from Ling Han and the others. Otherwise, his body would be gravely wounded if he were hit by one of the arrows.
This gave the young king tiers time to move around and unleash their most powerful attacks.
“Green Bamboo Ambush!” Shen Zhu’er shouted. Her glabella split open, and a small bamboo surprisingly shot out from it. It expanded rapidly, eventually becoming an astonishingly large bamboo. However, its shape wasn’t rigid, and this allowed it to remain unaffected in this relatively limited space.
Shua!
The bamboo shook slightly, causing countless leaves to fall down. These leaves then transformed into bamboo swords that swept toward Wu Zhe.
“Purple Flames!” Shi Anguo roared. Flames burst from his body, and a fiery lion that was engulfed in purple divine flames appeared as he clapped his hands together. The lion lunged toward Wu Zhe.
“Surging Black Water!” He Tao howled. One of his eyes shut tightly, while his other eye remained wide open. A black river surged from his body.
The six king tiers all unleashed their trump cards. No one dared to hold back at this moment. Otherwise, it was truly possible that they would lose their lives here.
Boom!
Divine light illuminated the surroundings and swept toward Wu Zhe.
Chapter 1196 - Defeat
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Theoretically speaking, Wu Zhe definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand the combined attacks of the six king tiers, unless he possessed a physique as freakish as Ling Han’s.
However, Wu Zhe retracted his divine chains just before the six attacks hit him. The divine chains wrapped around each other and transformed into an orb that possessed an incredible defensive ability.
Peng, peng, peng!
The attacks landed, yet they were unable to penetrate the ball of divine chains.
Their attacks couldn’t even penetrate the ball of divine chains, so how could they wound Wu Zhe?
“Hehehe, abandon your meaningless resistance! You people are nothing but ants before my absolute power!” Wu Zhe laughed, and continued, “You should feel honored to die by my hands. Remember that I used to be an Eternal River Tier elite. At that time, I was too lazy to even kill Heavenly Body Tier insects. However, you people are going to experience the honor of being killed by me. How glorious is this!”
“Hahaha!” Ling Han laughed loudly, and said, “I’ll even possess the ability to kill Saints in the future! So, why don’t you obediently stick your head over and let me hack it off? I’ll allow you to experience an even greater glory!”
“Humph!” Wu Zhe’s expression became cold, and he shouted, “You! Hehe, it appears as if the previous owner of this body detests you immensely. A killing intent has naturally arisen.”
“Oh, I simply gave him a beating,” Ling Han said calmly. “If you want to, I can also give you a beating.”
“What an arrogant brat!” Wu Zhe’s expression darkened.
Although he had been a supreme elite in the past—and it was thus beneath him to argue with a Mountain River Tier cultivator—he was still displeas
ed when being talked back to like that. He truly wanted to slap Ling Han to death.
However, Shen Zhu’er and the others had already launched their second volley of attacks. This forced him to go back on the defensive. After all, he was no longer an Eternal River Tier elite.
Ling Han seized this opportunity to unleash his Ultimate Arrow.
He hadn’t participated in the second volley of attacks. Instead, he had waited until Wu Zhe blocked this volley of attacks and unraveled the divine chains that shielded him.
He was going to take advantage of this instant to kill him!
There was only a single chance. Although his power could recover quickly, that mysterious being wouldn’t fall for the same trick twice. He was too powerful and too smart for that.
“All of you, die!” After blocking the second volley of attacks, the mysterious being unraveled the orb of divine chains, just as Ling Han had expected. Countless divine chains shot toward Ling Han and the others, seeking to penetrate their bodies.
One’s defenses would be at their weakest right after they launched their most powerful attack—this was the same for everyone.
Pu, pu, pu, pu!
Shen Zhu’er and the four other king tiers were all struck by the divine chains. Some were hit in the hands, while others were hit in the legs. Some were hit in the torso. Regardless of where the divine chains hit, they were able to pierce straight through the king tiers. Blood sprayed through the air.
It was at this moment that Ling Han unleashed his Ultimate Arrow.
Pu!
However, he was also struck by the divine chains the instant that he unleashed the arrow. He hadn’t dodged or evaded, so it was only natural that he was struck. Fortunately, his physique was powerful enough. The divine chains had only been able to pierce into his body, and were unable to crush his Godly bones. They hadn’t been able to penetrate all the way through his body, either.
Xiu!
The brilliant arrow—one that carried the hopes of Ling Han—shot toward Wu Zhe.
It was as quick as light, and it was truly an arrow of ultimate speed.
“Aaaah!” Wu Zhe roared in pain. The Ultimate Arrow had hit his left shoulder, and the explosiveness of the arrow had obliterated it completely. His left arm fell to the floor, and a fountain of blood gushed from his shoulder.
This was already the result of him instinctively blocking with his divine chains and slightly altering the path of the arrow. If he hadn’t done so, it would have been his heart that exploded, not his left shoulder.
“Brat, I’m going to kill you!” Wu Zhe roared in fury.
He was both shocked and enraged. He had almost died at the hands of a measly Mountain River Tier cultivator! He was so infuriated that he could barely think straight.
Xiu!
The divine chains whipped back toward Wu Zhe, at the same time bringing Ling Han closer to him. Wu Zhe raised a hand and unleashed another seven divine chains. These divine chains shot toward Ling Han’s hands, feet, chest, and abdomen.
How could Ling Han block these divine chains?
The Ultimate Arrow was indeed mighty, yet it would exhaust his power after a single use. Even though his speed of recovery was quicker now, he would still need an entire 30 minutes to fully recover his power. However, he only had a few seconds right now, and this was barely enough time to recover even a shred of his stamina.
Ling Han was unable to defend against this attack, and he was ruthlessly struck by the seven divine chains.
Pu!
Blood sprayed from his body. However, Wu Zhe was still rendered speechless. Ling Han had been utterly defenseless, yet his divine chains still hadn’t been able to pierce through his body completely. As such, they hadn’t caused any significant damage.
‘F*ck! How can there be such a freak!’
Wu Zhe was slightly astonished. If he were at his strongest, he would be able to crush Ling Han with a simple wave of his hand. However, he could only rely on the power of Regulations at this moment. The problem was, his cultivation level was too low. As such, the amount and quality of Regulations that he could wield were also limited. If he tried to summon Regulations above his cultivation level, his body would be obliterated by the Regulations first.
Thus, his divine chains could only cause minor damage to Ling Han, even though they could cause severe damage to Shen Zhu’er and the others.
“Humph! I’ll slowly tear you to pieces then!” Wu Zhe said coldly.
He shook his divine chains, and sent Shen Zhu’er and the four other king tiers flying.
Peng, peng, peng!
They all crashed into the walls of the palace. Meanwhile, Wu Zhe brandished all of his divine chains, planning to launch a thick and furious attack on Ling Han.
If he couldn’t kill him with a single attack, he would grind him to death slowly and steadily, like ants slowly biting an elephant to death.
Ling Han’s physique was indeed as tough as Level Five Godly metal. However, Wu Zhe’s divine chains were like a saw that could slowly cut through Level Five Godly metal. He simply needed a bit of time.
Pu, pu, pu!
Ling Han was struck by the divine chains again. He had barely recovered any of his power at this moment, so he was naturally being belted like a sandbag.
Shen Zhu’er and the others were all gravely wounded, so they wouldn’t be able to help him anytime soon.
The divine chains continued to strike Ling Han, and he quickly transformed into a bloodied figure.
“Hahahaha!” Wu Zhe laughed loudly. This unbridled laugh contained both the emotions of the mysterious being as well as the pleasure of Wu Zhe himself. Ling Han had humiliated him in public before, so how could he not hate him?
Ling Han was being mercilessly beaten, yet he still continued to recover his power. He was waiting for a chance to counterattack.
If there were truly no chance of winning, he wouldn’t insist on continuing this battle, either. He would hide into the Black Tower, and perhaps even chuck Notionless Saint out. Doing so would probably give this mysterious being a huge fright.
Shen Zhu’er and the others naturally didn’t know that Ling Han still had the Black Tower. Upon seeing him being mercilessly beaten, they were certain that there was already no chance for him to turn the tables. Meanwhile, they were all severely wounded, and only barely hanging on to life.
By the looks of it, defeat was inevitable. Apart from waiting for death, what else could they still do?
Although they still had trump cards, this mystery realm forbade power at or above the Sun Moon Tier. Anyhow, faced with the formidable Regulations wielded by this mysterious being, it seemed as if everything that they did was in vain.
If they unleashed their trump cards, they would merely be seeking an earlier death. They would be killed by the restrictions, which was simply an alternate method of death, with an alternate killer.
Was there really no other way?
They were all individuals with steely willpower, and they definitely wouldn’t give up even in the face of despair. Their minds whirred as they analyzed all the possible methods.
“Hehe, Sinking Shade Old Demon, you’ve finally come out after all!” A thunder-like voice suddenly boomed through the surroundings, causing the entire palace to tremor.
‘What?! There’s another person here?’
Ling Han and the others were all filled with renewed hope. In the current situation… a new variable was extremely desirable!
Chapter 1197 - Ten Million Year Old Plot

“What?!” Wu Zhe’s expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, “Lan Yun, you’re still not dead?” He looked at the corpse on the floor.
“Hehe!” There was a chuckle, and the blue-skinned corpse on the floor surprisingly crawled up. A long shadow was cast by its nine-meter-tall figure.
Ling Han and the others were all astounded.
Although they had been suspicious
whether the mysterious being was the true owner of this place, they were still stunned to see the blue-skinned elite get to his feet.
Wu Zhe stared at the blue-skinned elite, and he started to laugh loudly after a short while, saying, “So, you truly are dead. Your body is merely being controlled by a wisp of your remnant awareness.”
“Indeed!” the blue-skinned elite said with a nod. “However, it’s more than enough to kill you!”
Wu Zhe’s expression changed, and he said with a hint of panic, “You didn’t purposefully set this up, did you? Were you waiting for an opportunity to kill me? For my divine sense to leave the land’s heart and possess another body?”
The blue-skinned elite laughed loudly, and said, “Or else? You had fled to the land’s heart, and I hadn’t been able to pursue you in my dying state. If I didn’t draw you out, how would I be able to deal with you?”
“S-such forbearance!” Wu Zhe said. “It’s already been tens of millions of years, and your corpse has almost turned to dust. Why are you still holding onto such old grudges? Why do you insist on killing me?”
“Humph! Even if I die 1000 times over, I still won’t forgive wretches from the Netherworld!” the blue-skinned elite roared.
‘What?! This mysterious being is actually from the Netherworld?!’
At this moment, it finally made sense why the words carved by the blue-skinned elite were filled with fury and killing intent toward the Netherworld. From the signs of battle outside, it could be deduced that an intense battle had broken out between the two elites.
The blue-skinned elite had probably won, but suffered fatal wounds. Meanwhile, the body of the mysterious being had been obliterated such that only his divine sense remained. However, due to the unique nature of beings from the Netherworld, he had been able to hold onto life in the land’s heart.
Tens of millions of years had passed, and the mysterious being thought that the blue-skinned elite had died. Thus, he came out to possess someone’s body so that he could live a second life.
