Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4340  Lair of the True Phoenix

”Go on.” The Saint from the Thousand Bird Imperial Clan led the way, wanting to enter into the passageway.

However, he had only taken one step when he stopped. It was not that he had changed his mind at the last minute, but rather that he had been blocked by an invisible force.

He had a feeling that if he tried to be stubborn, he would be torn to shreds.

When the Imperial Weapon awakened, he would naturally be safe. However, the problem was that a Saint couldnʼt keep the Imperial Weapon in a constant awakened state. Thus, he definitely couldnʼt be stubborn.

This was most likely the Great Emperor killing formation. Even though it could only act as a static defense, it was a hundred times more terrifying than the Imperial Weapon.

Saints couldnʼt enter, and when the Venerate Tiers tried, their expressions also changed drastically.

Right, even Venerate Tiers wouldnʼt be able to.

Then what about Sect Masters?

It still wouldnʼt work.

It wasnʼt until the Spirit Transformation Tiers took their turn, that they werenʼt affected by the Great Emperor killing formation, allowing them to pass safely.

The Spiritual Transformation Tier was fine, the True Self Tier was fine, and even slightly lower cultivation level could enter.

In other words, this Great Emperor killing formation only placed a maximum limit on cultivation level, and had no requirements for the minimum level.

Ling Hanʼs heart calmed. Without a Sect Master elite competing with him, even if he was no match for a Seventh Change or Eighth Change when he encountered them, he would still be able to escape easily, and would not have to depend on the Star Steps.

It could be imagined that in this lair of the True Phoenix, ley lines should not exist.

Everyone entered one after another, and those Golden Generation elites that had long since advanced into Sect Master Tier looked livid.

Such a great opportunity, and they could only watch helplessly as it passed them by?

To say nothing of the fact that the Imperial Sons and Imperial Daughters of the other clans couldnʼt possibly share their gains with them, even if it was from their own clan, who didnʼt want to become Emperor? Would they take it out to share?

Thus, they could only miss out on this great opportunity.

”Humph!” The Golden Generation elites all flicked their sleeves before turning around to leave.

They had lost blood essence for nothing, yet it was only paving the way for others. They were furious.

…

Ling Han walked in front, while Ding Shu was the last. After walking for a long time, they suddenly felt a powerful suction force. Even Ling Han was unable to resist. With a xiu, they were all sucked in.

Instantly, their figures sped up, and the scene that they saw also underwent a massive change. The stars and the sun flashed past them like a revolving lantern.

”Aiyo!”

Their bodies suddenly trembled, and they were sent flying.

Where was this?

They looked around, and saw that this was actually a primeval forest. Huge trees grew everywhere. These trees were very strange. The trunks were crimson red, and the leaves that grew were like flames. There was clearly no wind, but every single leaf was flickering and burning.

They came closer to take a look, and saw that the leaves of this tree were really flames. However, the strange thing was that though the leaves were burning flames, the tree trunk did not look like it was burning at all.

Huala, right at this moment, endless flames suddenly boiled from the forest, soaring into the skies.

No, these werenʼt flames, but rather firebirds!

These birds were all formed from flames, and as they flapped their wings, they released strange screeches as they swooped towards Ling Han and the others.

Everyone hurriedly counterattacked, but the moment they came into contact, they felt tremendous pressure.

These firebirds werenʼt difficult to kill, but what was terrifying was that when they were burnt to death, they would all self-explode. Terrifying energy surged, capable of easily burning a Spirit Transformation Tier elite to severe injury.

One or two was still fine, but the point was that there were too many fire birds here. If they exploded in groups, that would be terrifying.

To say nothing of Ling Han, even Spirit Transformation Tier elites such as Di Luo and the others couldnʼt withstand it. They immediately turned around and fled.

However, firstly, the path of return was already gone. They had been sucked in, and secondly, even if the path that they had come from was stil there, they would not leave. Oh, they had just entered, and were already chased off, and they still wanted the secret technique of the True Phoenix?

Thus, everyone fled in all directions. At this time, it was naturally themselves that was most important, so how could they have the time to care about others?

Ling Han protected the empress and the others as they retreated. Ding Shu was his capable assistant while the perverted pig barely managed to avoid being a burden for them.. As for the others, because the large black dog, the little azure dragon, and the others hadnʼt stepped into the Spirit Transformation Tier yet, they didnʼt dare to make a move at all. Otherwise, if the firebird exploded beside them, that would really be a suicidal action.

As the group battled, they retreated, leaving the forest far behind. Only when a large river appeared ahead of them did those fire birds finally give up their pursuit, and turned around to return.

Everyone examined themselves, and all of them were injured.

Ling Han and Ding Shu were the main force, so they naturally bore the brunt of it. Meanwhile, the empress, the large black dog, and the others were affected because their cultivation level was too low. Merely being affected by the flames that had exploded from the firebird was enough to cause them serious injury.

They had gained some time to catch their breath, and hurriedly stopped to rest.

Thankfully, everyone had cultivated the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Technique. This was Body Arts, which also had astonishing effects on healing injuries. As long as their foundations were not damaged, they could still recover very quickly.

Ling Han was the first to finish resting. He stood up and explored the surrounding environment.

Soon, his attention was focused on that great river.

Previously, he had not had the time to pay attention, but from the look of things now, Ling Han couldnʼt help but bare his teeth, because this was not a river, but rather surging lava!

He walked closer, and saw that there were seals continuously popping up in the lava. That was the concentrated energy of high-level flames. If he was burned, he would definitely be in trouble.

It was said that the True Phoenix had passed away in the True Phoenixʼs lair. Thus, was the forest of flames and river of lava formed from the Regulations of the True Phoenix after its death?

That was the level of a Great Emperor, so no matter how powerful it was, it was understandable.

Yi?

Ling Han looked ahead, only to see that there was actually a small mountain floating in the lava river.

What kind of mountain was this, that it could actually not be melted by the lava?

Ling Han was very curious. This was no ordinary lava, but rather the condensation of high-level energy, which could easily burn Divine Metal.

Treasure?

He walked in the direction up course of the flow of the river, heading towards that small mountain.

One was going down the riverʼs course, while the other was going up the riverʼs course. Naturally, they met very quickly.

Now that they were closer, Ling Han naturally could see more clearly. This small mountain was shaped like a regular ball, but it was not rounded, and was exuding an ancient aura.

However, was there really something strange about this?

Ling Han activated his eye technique, wanting to see clearly. However, the power of the boiling flames blocked his vision, and he couldnʼt see clearly.

Hua!

Right at this moment, the river of lava suddenly boiled, and a large amount of crimson lava was poured out, falling towards Ling Han.

Ling Han retreated quickly. With a swoosh, the lava landed on the bank, immediately burning fiercely.

Boom, a massive soundwave rippled out, and that small mountain suddenly rose up. Then, a massive pillar was seen crashing towards Ling Han.

This wasnʼt a pillar.

This time, Ling Han could clearly see that what was floating in the river wasnʼt a small mountain at all, but a fire turtle!

Presently, it was precisely this fire turtle that was attacking him. With a stomp, its skin was covered with dark red divine patterns.

Boom!
