Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

by Flying Alone 孤单地飞

  Ling Han humphed, and used the Star Plucking Step, running with all his might.

  The 10 members of the Five Sects hurriedly pursued, but the moment they started the pursuit, they realized they actually could not catch up with Ling Han!

  Not only were they unable to catch up to him, the distance was still continuously increasing.

  “Such a fast movement technique definitely cannot be used for long.”

  “Give chase, we must eliminate this disaster.”

  “If we do not get rid of this brat, we will not be able to rest or eat in peace!”

  Yet Ling Han very soon disappeared without a trace. The 10 people were helpless, and could only separate to search for him.

  After Ling Han had escaped, he had already hidden in the Black Tower.

  He did not enter into the Black Tower at the first instant, firstly because he did not want to reveal the secret of the Black Tower, and secondly because he did not want to depend too much on the Black Tower, hiding inside the moment he met with danger. He channeled a drop of Indestructible True Fluid, and the injuries of his body immediately recovered at a visible pace.

  In truth, he was very seriously wounded.

  Those were 10 elites at the consummate level of the Sun Moon Tier, and a few of them had not just reached the peak stage of the consummate level, but were even three-star geniuses and four-star geniuses. One blow from them, and his blood and flesh was sent flying; even his Godly bones had almost been broken by the attacks.

  He rubbed his neck. That elite from the Heaven’s Sword Palace almost severed his head with a single strike. With the use of the Indestructible True Fluid, the injury had already recovered, but Ling Han still felt lingering fear.

  If it were not for the fact that his Godly bones were strong enough, his head would definitely have been separated from his body by now.

  “Huh?”

  He was in the Black Tower, but his vision was not affected. He discovered that there was a person running towards him, and it was precisely that old woman from the Earth Dragon Sect.

  Even though she was holding a walking stick, her speed was incredibly fast. It was as if she could shrink the distance, covering more than 300 meters with a single step.

  She was alone?

  Ling Han smirked coldly. Just right, he had suffered such a heavy loss, so he was just thinking of venting his ire on someone.

  The old woman suddenly stopped. She had the bloodline of the Earth Dragon, and was very sensitive to smells. She could vaguely smell Ling Han’s scent, but when she reached this place, it had suddenly vanished.

  How strange; could it be that he had tunneled into the ground?

  She released a battle cry, wanting to summon her other companions.

  However, just at this moment, a sword light suddenly flashed, bringing with it endless killing intent and slashing down at her neck.

  ‘What?!’

  The old woman was incredibly astonished. There was obviously not one person in this place, so where did this sword light come from? She forcibly brandished her walking stick to meet the incoming sword light, and when she turned, she saw that this sword was held in the hand of a young man.

  It was Ling Han!

  She was stunned and furious. She had not thought that not only had Ling Han not fled in defeat, he actually dared to hide here to ambush her. Yet his methods of concealing himself were really too good. Even she had not found him, and at this time, she was concentrating fully on sensing Ling Han’s disappeared aura, so this could be considered a time when her defenses were the lowest.

  This strike was earth-shattering, a major disaster so frightening it was indescribable.

  Peng!

  Her walking stick still parried the sword strike, but because she had moved in a hurry, her power was inadequate. Instantly, this strike sent her walking stick flying. However, she also managed to gain some time, her figure hurriedly retreating.

  Ling Han approached. Because the two of them were too near to each other, he did not have the space to brandish his sword. He simply allowed the Divine Demon Sword to leave his hand and automatically attack, while he shot out his fists in a series of punches at the old woman.

  The old woman was desperate to stay alive, and shielded herself with her arms as she hurriedly retreated. She absolutely did not have the time to wonder why Ling Han, who had just been severely wounded, could look like he was completely unharmed in an instant.

  At this time, the battle cry echoed out endlessly, and the other nine people were also rapidly rushing over.

  The old woman was elated. As long as she could hold on for just a little bit longer, when her reinforcements reached, the attacking and defending positions would switch, and it would be Ling Han’s turn to try to escape with all his might.

  “You will not have the chance!” Ling Han smirked coldly, and the Misty Soul Capturing Flower suddenly appeared.

  The old woman was shocked, and hurriedly wanted to close her eyes. However, this demonic flower had direct effect on the divine sense, so there was absolutely no difference whether you closed your eyes or not. In the instant she closed her eyes, she saw nine figures rushing towards her from various directions.

  However, this was also the last scene that she would see in her life.

  Peng!

  Ling Han smashed the old woman’s head with a single punch, and even her spirit was destroyed as well. He looked coldly at the remaining nine people from the Five Sects, and used a motion technique to sprint madly without the slightest hesitation, endlessly stretching out the distance between himself and the other nine people in an instant.

  Chapter 1280 High Bounty

  When the other nine members of the Five Sects ran to the old woman, they all stopped. Each of their faces was covered with ice, with a sliver of indescribable coldness.

  The 10 of them had joined forces, and Ling Han still managed to flee. Not only had he successfully fled, he had taken advantage of the time when they had separated to pursue him, and turned the tables around to kill one of them.

  It should be known that Ling Han previously had been severely wounded.

  What a frightening physique, what frightening recovery ability, what frightening schemes, and what frightening decisiveness!

  Faced with this kind of enemy, all nine felt their hearts grow heavy.

  “This brat… has to be gotten rid of as soon as possible.”

  “That’s right, or we will all have a tragic end!”

  The nine of them looked at the old woman’s body, whose head had been smashed, and felt their hearts shudder. They felt sympathy that came from seeing a peer killed in this way. This kind of thing could possibly happen to them as well.

  Even the four people from the Heaven’s Sword Palace and Absolute Saber Sect, who had cultivated Sword Heart and Saber Heart and severed their other emotions, unmoved by external factors, could feel a full-body shiver. That was because Ling Han did not only possess the Misty Soul Capturing Flower, but his abilities on their own were even more amazing.

  Perhaps Ling Han would have the strength to overthrow the Five Sects in another 100 years.

  To Sun Moon Tiers, 100 years’ time was really much too fast, and it was completely impossible that there would appear a genius that could save them from their desperate crisis in the Five Sects in this little bit of time. The time given was much too short.

  This was the scary thing about top-grade prodigies. 100 years might only seem like a blink of an eye to you, wherein nothing would change, but for a prodigy, it was enough time for an explosive improvement to appear in their strength.

  “Spare no expense, find this brat and kill him!” All nine forced out through gritted teeth. It was no longer a matter of pride, and not about how they could snatch away his fated opportunity after they killed him. It had become a problem of their own survival.

  There was no one who would be willing to wait for death, especially in the case of elites
like them. They would definitely counterattack madly.

  ***

  After Ling Han ran a distance away, he once again entered into the Black Tower.

  He was very pleased with himself. Despite being ganged up on by 10 elites, he still managed to get rid of one.

  “However, this was done with the help of the Misty Soul Capturing Flower, I myself am still not strong enough.” Ling Han very soon suppressed his self-satisfaction, and reflected on himself.

  “Three months’ time… is almost up again!”

  Small Tower appeared, and informed Ling Han that he could enter into the Immortal Flame Cauldron to temper himself again.

  Ling Han shivered, yet still stood up without hesitation. Running in a panic due to being hunted down by the Five Sects caused him to be even more determined to pursue true strength.

  He threw himself into the cauldron to be tempered by the immortal flame.

  Three days later, Ling Han came out of the cauldron. Naturally, he was still an infant, but looked to be about 10 months old.

  “Allow me to correct. If you can maintain this kind of rate of improvement, you will be able to completely grasp Rising From The Ashes after about 100 more times,” Small Tower said.

  That was right. A few hundred times dropped to 100 times could be considered a massive improvement.

  Yet Ling Han’s expression was still dark. He had to go through this 100 times to be able to complete tempering his body with immortal flame. Just the thought of it made him nauseous.

  But he had just tempered his body with the immortal flame, so he forced himself not to think about it!

  Ling Han drew out the Berserk Blood Spirit Pill and ate it. This was his main motive in agreeing to temper his body with the immortal flame.

  He needed more power.

  Under the Reincarnation Tree, three days were equivalent to three years.

  Ling Han stood up. His cultivation level had progressed one step further and reached the late stage of the medium extreme, while his battle prowess had soared up to the early stage of the consummate level. Added with the help of heaven’s might and the Divine Demon Sword, he could even fight someone in the late stage of the consummate level.

  “However, I will still be a bit weak against an opponent in the peak stage of the consummate level, what more when the Five Sects still have elites whose battle prowess surpasses the peak stage, and their number is very astonishing as well.”

  Ling Han was not self-satisfied. If his cultivation level could advance into the consummate level, then he would truly be capable of looking down on the Five Sects.

  “I’ll use the trash from the Five Sects to test out my battle prowess.”

  Ling Han left the Black Tower, and took the initiative to make trouble with the Five Sects.

  The moment he appeared, he found out that the Five Sects had really spared no expense to look for him now. Anyone from Wolf Fang City received a bounty notice. If they found Ling Han, and revealed his location to the Five Sects, they would be given a Realm Spirit Stone as reward.

  Though Wolf Fang City had a law that stated that Immortals were not allowed to have internecine strife, the Five Sects were only looking for Ling Han, and did not state that they wanted to do anything to Ling Han… though everyone knew that it definitely would not be anything good.

  Though the Two Realm Battlefield was huge, there were also many people. Soon, someone discovered Ling Han’s whereabouts and passed the information to the Five Sects, and the members of the Five Sects immediately charged over.

  After a bloody battle, Ling Han successfully broke through the siege. Though he suffered serious injuries, he also took the lives of two elites in the early stage of the consummate level of the other side, showing his character trait of being unwilling to take a loss in the slightest.

  This battle brought fear to the Five Sects because they discovered much to their shock that Ling Han had become even stronger.

  Only a mere few months had passed, and Ling Han’s power had actually improved so apparently. This was too astonishing.

  The Five Sects had gone crazy, and began to search for Ling Han even more urgently, willing to spare no expense to destroy Ling Han. If it was not because they could not pay the price, they even wanted to ask Heavenly Body Tier elites to move, and that would ensure their success.

  However, Ling Han went to the camp of the Purple Moon Army.

  He had not seen the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden for a long time, and the latter had to know that the Five Sects were currently targeting him. He had to meet the beauty at least once and reassure her.

  Holding the token, Ling Han entered into the Purple Moon Army.

  The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden was just worrying about him, and had just completed a huge mission with the army. Thus, she decided to ask for a few days of leave, and planned to have a good reunion with Ling Han.

  Ling Han was naturally greatly pleased. Unfortunately, he had still not completely grasped Rising From The Ashes at this moment, so his true physique was only as big as a baby of 10 months old. He did not even have the ability to push her down, or have her push him down instead, so he could only be like a eunuch who made a trip to the brothel, unable to do anything.

  The couple shared a sweet time, and the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden was extremely stunned by Ling Han’s rate of advancement. She knew that Ling Han was the Alchemy Emperor, but he could not have been as fast as this even with Divine Pills.

  “Come, I’ll show you something good.”

  Ling Han brought the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden into the Black Tower, and showed her the Reincarnation Tree as well as that Saint that could no longer be considered a Saint.

  However, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden was still extremely stunned.

  What kind of good fortune had actually befallen on Ling Han that even the incomplete spirit of a Saint was staying inside his Spatial God Tool? In comparison, the fact that Ling Han possessed a Spatial God Tool seemed to be insignificant because Saints could forge Spatial God Tools.

  “When I break through to the Heavenly Body Tier, I can go into seclusion here. But as for now…” The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden shook her head. Her breakthrough was different as she needed to accumulate the power of her bloodline. This was something that the Reincarnation Tree could not help with.

  The couple talked for a while longer before finally coming out of the Black Tower.

  Ling Han started a fire, and began barbequing some precious ingredients. He added the Godly medicine from the Black Tower as well as a beard[1] of ginseng from the old ginseng. The old ginseng had plucked it from himself after he advanced into the Sun Moon Tier, so it was really extremely nutritious.

  However, to extract all the nutritious essence from this pot of ingredients required a very, very long time.

  After about two days, an extraordinary aroma wafted, and could be smelled in a 10 miles’ radius.

  Ling Han had just ladled out a bowl of soup for the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden when a small beast popped out from who knew where, drooling as it stared at that bowl of soup.

  “So adorable!” Instantly, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden’s eyes lit up.

  [1] Probably a root hair.

  Chapter 1281 - Little Beast and Little Bird

  Chapter 1281 Little Beast and Little Bird

  Ling Han’s eyes swept over it, and a sliver of killing intent immediately seeped into his gaze.

  This was a creature of the Netherworld!

  Yet he did not make a move. This little beast had just crossed over into the Immortal level, and its power was extremely weak. Furthermore, it did not seem to have awakened its intelligence. Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible that it would still approach upon spotting two obviously human elites of the Sun Moon Tier.

  This small beast looked like a cat, covered all over with snow white fur, soft, bright, and shining with a silvery light. That appearance belonged to the category that one would immediately like it up
on a single look. No wonder the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise even with her cool, aloof personality.

  “Jiu! Jiu!” The little beast called out towards the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden, its drool dripping even more quickly.

  The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden looked towards Ling Han, and said, “Give it a share as well.”

  “Did you not see that it is a creature of the Netherworld?” Ling Han asked.

  “Still, it is so cute!” The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden could not resist at all.

  The little beast released a soft cry; so adorable.

  Ling Han sighed, and could only draw out a bowl to ladle out a share for this little beast. Then, he placed it over, and said, “Little guy, finish this and run off quickly. A glutton like you should obediently stay in the Netherworld. If you came to the Immortal Realm, wouldn’t you just be filling someone’s stomach?”

  Little Beast immediately began to flick out its tongue to drink the soup. Perhaps it was too delicious, but its head poked in further and further. In the end, it lost its balance, and both its hind legs were sticking upwards.

  Ling Han was surprised. Even eating, and it still had to act cute; the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden would probably be rendered completely incapable of resisting. He turned his head, and true enough, the sympathy in the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden’s eyes was practically overflowing.

  The little beast drank very quickly. Being capable of cultivating to the Mountain River Tier, how could it have no intelligence? Immediately, it chirped out at the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden as if it knew that only begging her would be useful.

  Indeed, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden turned her eyes towards Ling Han, filled with plea.

  Ling Han sighed, and could only ladle out another bowl.

  One bowl followed another. This little beast’s appetite was quite amazing.

  Ling Han couldn’t help but be moved. It should be known that he used proper ingredients in consideration of the cultivation levels of both himself and the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden. If it was given to a Mountain River Tier, they could still eat, but they definitely wouldn’t be able to eat too much.
