Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

Eating so vigorously like the little beast, they would definitely explode from all the richness. But the fact was that this little beast was still very energetic, playing cute and acting coy. There was absolutely no sign that it was about to explode any time soon.
Strange!
After this little beast had single-handedly finished off half the meat stew, it was finally satisfied. It ran to the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden, and happily wagged its tail, playing cute right to the very end.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden was feeling extremely compassionate, and picked up the little beast, combing through its fur. She even gave it a massage, infuriating Ling Han. He had never seen this fierce woman treat him so gently before.
Little Beast seemed to sense Ling Han’s unfriendly gaze, and curled in its claws, ducking into Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden’s arms.
“Don’t scare it!” the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden warned Ling Han.
‘I give it food, I give it drink, and now it’s even snatching away my wife?’
Ling Han glared at the little beast, but the little beast showed no weakness at all. It glared back at Ling Han while using its small head to rub against the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden all the while. Obviously, it knew whose favor it should gain.
“Little monster from the Netherworld will be eaten sooner or later!” Ling Han threatened fiercely.
“Jiu, jiu!” The little beast acted spoiled while looking like it had got a terrible scare.
The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden once again warned Ling Han seriously, causing him to feel very rueful. He had to quickly increase his cultivation level, or even his wife would be climbing over his head.
Ka, just at this moment, a soft cracking sound was heard. Ling Han involuntarily turned his eyes towards that egg that he had kept for who knew how long. Now, as long as he was free, he would take it out for some sunbathing, and that sound had originated from the eggshell.
There was a crack!
Ka, another sound rang out, and the first crack appeared.
Ling Han was greatly pleased. Was this guy finally about to hatch?
This was the descendant of the Azure Flame Vulture, and in truth was not of much help to Ling Han by now. However, he had nurtured it by his side for so many days, so he was still very expectant to see a new life break out of its egg.
Knock, knock, knock. The Azure Flame Vulture inside pecked continuously, and the egg shell broke gradually. Finally, the head of a small bird stretched out. This time, it did not continue to peck, but rather opened its beak and began to eat the egg shell. Soon, it chewed out a large round hole.
This egg shell seemed to be extremely delicious because while the little bird had already eaten out a hole big enough for it to come out, it did not look like it had the slightest intention to stop at all. It was still there eating continuously, causing Ling Han to feel a slight urge to break off a piece to have a taste as well.
As a glutton, he felt a heavy pressure.
Ling Han, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden, and the little beast were all staring. Only when the little bird had completely chewed up the egg shell so that not one bit was left did it earnestly stand up on its small legs and look at the surroundings blankly.
At first, it tilted its head to look at the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden for a while, and then stared at the little beast. Finally, it turned its eyes towards Ling Han, raced towards him on its two little legs, leaned against his leg, and crouched down to rest.
Did it think that he was its mommy?
Hey, hey, hey. Putting aside the fact that he was male, what part of him looked like a bird? F***, what was wrong with its eyes?
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden was thrown over in laughter. This would be the best material to tease Ling Han about in future, and she could talk about it for the rest of her life.
Ling Han shook his head, and sent the little bird into the Black Tower. He keenly sensed that this Azure Flame Vulture would far surpass its mother in the future. It was said that the Azure Flame Vulture had a sliver of the bloodline from the Ancient Divine Beast, Azure Phoenix. If it could awaken its bloodline, this little bird would be very useful.
“Yi, Lady Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden!” An exclamation of surprise was heard, and a few people walked over. They were all looking at the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden, a burning admiration on their faces.
They were disciples of the Five Sects.
In the Five Sects, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden was definitely a legendary character. She had only been in the Immortal Realm for 10,000 years, and had already reached the consummate level of the Sun Moon Tier already. She was the idol of who knew how many people. However, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden had long since began to live in seclusion, and only left behind a stunning legend.
Thus, these people were naturally excited at being able to see the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden in this place.
But when they spotted the other person next to their idol, all their expressions shifted drastically. “Ling… Ling Han!”
He was a monster!
In a short few months, there was already a considerable number of elites from their sects that had died in Ling Han’s hands, and this man was also a criminal that had opened the sky—according to the Five Sects’ theory, the Lower Realm was a small world that they had operated for a few million years, producing very astonishing wealth, yet because of Ling Han, all that was now gone forever.
Thus, whether they knew the truth or otherwise, all disciples of the Five Sects hated Ling Han very much.
“Lady Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden, this person is Ling Han. He is very dangerous, leave him quickly!” someone called out to the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden, fearing that she still did not know Ling Han’s true face, and would be wounded if Ling Han went berserk.
Yet the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden calmly said, “I have long since severed my ties with the Cloud Phoenix Sect, and all the matters of the Five Sects are no longer any concern of mine.”
She had long since repaid the kindness that the Cloud Phoenix Sect had shown teaching her, and when the sect had “sold” her off to Xie Donglai, that little bit of remaining kinship she had with the Cloud Phoenix Sect had vanished.
Those disciples of the Five Sects were stunned and furious. What exactly had Ling Han drugged the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden with that she now did not even recognize her own sect!?
Chapter 1282 - Battling the Sword Emperor
Chapter 1282 Battling the Sword Emperor
“Lady Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, do not be fooled by this evil demon!” these disciples all called out as they sent out a signal to summon their other companions.
The average power of the disciples of the Five Sects was very strong.
For people like them, who had only cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years yet had all advanced into the Sun Moon Tier, it was not because they had all awoken their bloodline, but rather because they had taken the Realm Pill… Of course, it was not complete, but the diluted version. Otherwise, there would not have been enough to be distributed.
Yet even so, the overall power of the Five Sects had seen a very large improvement. They were practically no inferior to any other force of the Heavenly Body Tier.
…Without reaching the Sun Moon Tier, they would not have dared to run over to the Two Realm Battlefield to hunt Ling Han down. If they were only in the Mountain River Tier, they definitely would have been going to their deaths.
The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden cuddled the little beast, and said, “You have said all you need to say. If you continue to blabber nonsense, I will definitely not be merciful!”
Her eyes were menacing. Since she had already severed her relations with the Five Sects, whoever made a move on Ling Han would be attacking her.
“Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, did you not call yourself the Ling Family’s Widow, and would only live for one person?” A bout of laughter rang out from afar. In a mere
instant, a young man shot over at an extraordinarily fast pace.
He bore a sword that had an ancient air to it on his back, and exuded an aura that seemed otherworldly.
Ling Han’s eyes swept over this newcomer, and his eyes involuntarily narrowed.
The Sword Emperor!
10,000 years ago, there was a total of seven Heaven Tiers in the Lower Realm. They were known as the king tiers of that generation, and the Sword Emperor was ranked in the first place, above both the Setting Sun Saber Emperor and the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden. In their reunion 10,000 years later, the Sword Emperor had already advanced into the high extreme of the Sun Moon Tier. Though he was not as incredible as the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden, it was still very, very exaggerated.
The Realm Pill was indeed awesome, but what was more crucial was his own natural talent. Otherwise, why would those who had cultivated more tens of thousands of years, or even an additional several hundreds of thousands years, still be in the low extreme of the Sun Moon Tier?
The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden looked towards this old rival from the past, her expression unchanging, and said, “Is what I do any concern of yours?”
As she spoke, a few more people rushed over. This time, they were much stronger, and there was no lack of elites in the consummate level of the Sun Moon Tier.
“Hoho!” The Sword Emperor shook his head, appearing to be disdainful.
You praised yourself as being pure and untouched, but weren’t you still moved, and gotten ‘involved with another man?’
Ling Han naturally was unwilling to allow his wife be insulted, even if it was just a misunderstanding. He spoke up, “Sword Emperor, we have not met for 10,000 years. Do you dare battle me?”
Sword Emperor?
A great many people were confused. Whom was this evil demon talking to?
Yet the Sword Emperor felt his heartbeat quicken. He had taken this name when he was in the small world, but when he entered into the Immortal Realm, he took the initiative to remove this nickname and seal it away temporarily, restoring his real name.
Otherwise, if he still called himself the Sword Emperor in the Immortal Realm, wouldn’t that be attracting hatred? Was he complaining that he wasn’t dying fast enough?
How did this brat know?
Hold on, this brat was also called Ling Han, and furthermore… the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden was willing to become hostile with her sect for his sake… so could it be?!
A shocking guess rose up in his heart, but there was still a point of doubt, and that was: if Ling Han was that person, how had he passed the time of 10,000 years?
This thought merely flashed past, and he had already found his own answer.
Time Liquid!
Since the elites of the Five Sects had accumulated their disciples throughout the generations with this item, why could Ling Han not do the same? Very long ago, the Five Sects had once been conquered by Ma Duo Bao. At the time, their foundations had almost been severed, and the Time Liquid had also all been taken.
If Ling Han obtained the Time Liquid from this channel, then everything could be logically explained.
“You are… Ling Han!” The Sword Emperor stared at Ling Han.
Ling Han knew what he meant, and so said, “Hehe, after you requested that I concoct alchemical pills for you, I secretly learnt three sword techniques from you, sorry about that.”
When he said this, the Sword Emperor no longer had any doubts. This Ling Han was not only the criminal who had come through opening the sky, but was also the Alchemy Emperor from 10,000 years ago!
No wonder his rate of cultivation was so fast—with the best quality alchemical pills available to him every day, how could it not be fast?
“I never thought that you were actually someone that had long since died!” The Sword Emperor’s expression became menacing. “If I had known that you would’ve become such a big threat to the sect… I really should have killed you long ago!”
Though Ling Han was his equal in cultivation level 10,000 years ago, in terms of battle prowess… He really was a joke.
“Zhang Heng, do you want to die?” The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden flew into a thunderous rage, her killing intent even stronger than the Sword Emperor’s.
The Sword Emperor’s real name was Zhang Heng. After he came to the Immortal Realm, he took the name of Zhang Heng, no longer being called the Sword Emperor.
“Wife, allow me.” Ling Han restrained the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden. He had long since wanted to battle once more with the Sword Emperor and the Setting Sun Saber Emperor. Now, the Sword Emperor’s cultivation level was above his, so it could not be considered as bullying him too much.
This ignited his fighting spirit.
“Be careful, he is a four-star genius!” the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden said in a low voice. The reason why she had rushed to speak up for him was because she did not want Ling Han to fight the Sword Emperor.
Ling Han’s battle prowess was at the early stage of the consummate level at most, and he could fight someone in the middle stage of the consummate level, while the Sword Emperor was in the late stage of the high extreme, and was also a four-star genius at that, so his battle prowess was at about the late stage of the consummate level. His ultimate battle prowess still had a gap of one star.
This meant that Ling Han would definitely lose.
Ling Han nodded, and said, “Don’t worry. I am still unable to beat you now, but as for this guy, hehe, he’s just a piece of cake!”
The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden rolled her eyes. This guy was really petty. Didn’t she just suppress him a few times in the past? Did he have to keep those few times in mind constantly like this?
“Sword Emperor, come, let’s battle!” Ling Han challenged the Sword Emperor.
The Sword Emperor looked nostalgic, and said, “It has been a very long time since I have been called the Sword Emperor. However, there will be one day that I will let this name once again be known!”
What great ambition!
In the Immortal Realm, titles like King, Majestic Emperor, and Imperial Emperor could not be used simply like that, because the Royal Empire, Majestic Empire, and Imperial Empire existed. If you used it anyway, you would commit a taboo.
For example, if Zhang Heng was to call himself the Sword Emperor, then wouldn’t that be the equivalent of placing himself on the same level as Eternal River Tier? What would the Heavenly Body Tiers think about that?
A mere Sun Moon Tier wanted to climb over their heads?
That was purely courting death!
Now that Zhang Heng said that he would make the name of the Sword Emperor once again become known, it meant that he was confident that he could advance into the Eternal River Tier, and he deserved to be admired merely for this ambitious spirit.
Ling Han nodded. This was the Sword Emperor that he knew.
He said, “On the basis of our previous relations, I hope you can leave the Heaven’s Sword Palace and pursue your own path if you lose.”
“Haha, say this again after you beat me!” Zhang Heng drew his sword. Weng, a frightening murderous aura instantly soared into the skies. His fighting spirit and sword intent had fused together, forming a Divine Sword that seemed capable of even slicing apart the heavens.
Ling Han sighed internally. In mere terms of Sword Dao, the other’s level of mastery was indeed superior to his because of his “single-mindedness”—Ling Han was studying too many fields. Alchemy occupied a very large part of his concentration, and there was also a considerable number of other assorted fields.
However, precisely because of these assorted other fields, the present him was born.
Ling Han did not draw the Divine Demon Sword, but rather clenched his hands into fists. Divine patterns appeared on his fists, causing these two fists to grow continuously in size until they became almost like mountains.
‘I punch!’
He took the initiative to attack.
Chapter 1283
- Whose Sword is Stronger
Ling Han threw both of his fists, and they were like two mountains as they bore down on Zhang Heng.
Boom!
A devastating aura swept forth before Ling Han’s fists had even arrived. The space around them collapsed, and the stars and clouds in the sky all lost their luster.
The disciples of the Five Sects fled in disarray. Not to mention those at the low extreme of the Sun Moon Tier, even those at the medium extreme and high extreme didn’t dare to face Ling Han’s iron fists head-on. Simply being scraped by them would be enough to wound them severely.
Ling Han’s physique was as tough as Level Seven Godly metal, perhaps even stronger. Moreover, the battle right now was completely playing to his strengths and maximizing his advantages.
His iron fists arrived before Zhang Heng.
However, Zhang Heng was unfazed as he slashed his sword toward the sky.
Shua!
A burst of Sword Qi sliced through the air and slashed into the two mountain-like fists.
Weng!
Surprisingly, Ling Han’s fists were sent reeling back.
‘Strong!’
In terms of power, he was clearly no match for Zhang Heng. After all, Zhang Heng’s cultivation level was far higher than his. Not only that, but he was also a four-star genius. Thus, Ling Han’s power of six-stars was only equivalent to a two-star advantage. However, a mere two stars weren’t enough to overcome the difference in cultivation level between them.
“10,000 years ago, you couldn’t even withstand a single strike of mine. Now, 10,000 years later… you’re still no match for me!” Zhang Heng said arrogantly. He advanced with his sword.
He hadn’t taken the path of becoming one with his weapon. First of all, he still had yet to reach the consummate level. Second of all, he had lofty ambitions, and he wasn’t content with being at the Sun Moon Tier. He wanted to become an Eternal River Tier elite. Thus, he naturally wouldn’t fuse his Suns and Moons into his God Tool and sever his own path of cultivation.
