Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4629  Baili Haojie

Immortality.

From the moment one was born, who would not pursue immortality?

However, immortality was contrary to the Heavenly Dao. Even the invincible Great Emperor would disappear in the passage of time. There was no existence in this world that could be immortal.

But if that was not the case, what kind of great opportunity would be even greater than becoming Emperor?

—If it was becoming an ordinary Emperor, it was possible for one to become Emperor in any era.

It could be imagined that if it was not for the fact that the Great Emperor could not seal themselves away, it was believed that there would be a great many Great Emperors appearing in this era, fighting over the fated opportunity to attain immortality.

”I donʼt know if being born in this era is a blessing or a curse!” Ling Han exclaimed.

In this era, there may be heaven-defying fated opportunities for immortality, but this kind of fated opportunity was destined to only belong to a small number of people. In fact, there was only one person. To the people of the world, they would only be experiencing the storm of intense competition among elites that would amount to nothing.

For example, Ling Han suspected that the invasion of the Netherworld had something to do with immortality.

Otherwise, he really couldnʼt think of any reason for Yin souls to interfere.

”No matter what, I have to increase my strength first!” Ling Han immediately strengthened his resolve. At this time, it was useless no matter how hard he thought about it.

Only strength was the true way to go.

The four of them continued onwards, but this bamboo forest seemed to have no end. No matter how they walked, they could not reach the end, or discover the ancient treasure trove of the Empress.

Was this a test from the Great Emperor for future generations?

Ling Han no longer walked casually, but rather observed more closely.

Since the Empress had left behind her inheritance, it was definitely not something that could not be resolved.

Was it the vein-like patterns on the bamboo?

Ling Han looked closely. Every bamboo had veined patterns on them, but they were all different.

However, after studying it for a long time, he came up empty.

Had he gone in the wrong direction?

He observed the planting locations of each bamboo stalk again, trying to find a pattern. However, after more than ten days, he still had no choice but to give up.

—He couldnʼt even finish walking through this bamboo forest, so how could he summarize the pattern?

Ling Han racked his brains, but there were too many possibilities. Where exactly should he start?

Hua, the wind blew, and the leaves moved. There was a mysterious rhythm to it.

Yi?

Ling Hanʼs eyes lit up. Could it be this?

He looked up, capturing the movement of the bamboo leaves. That seemed to conform to some kind of logic, and was incredibly mysterious.

He couldnʼt help but begin to simulate the rhythm, and instantly discovered that this was actually a formation technique!

”En?” Before he could study it in depth, he sensed that someone was approaching.

He looked to his left and saw a man in a crimson robe striding over.

This man was very young, and looked to be only in his twenties. However, there was a holy flame flickering in his mind, and it was green in colour at that.

A Five-Star Saint!

However, this person was at most 10,000 years old.

What a young king tier!

A thought flashed through Ling Hanʼs mind. The son of a Great Emperor!

Here was another one. Previously, it was Liu Xinhe. Who was it this time?

”Ling Han?” The other spoke first. Though there was a questioning tone in his voice, there was more certainty, as well as a pride that came from deep within his bones.

He was like a True Dragon that roamed the Nine Heavens, and would occasionally look down on the ants on the ground.

Ling Han smiled calmly, ”I am Ling Han, and who are you?”

”Me?” A haughty expression appeared on the manʼs face, and he said, ”Iʼm Baili Haojie, Great Emperor Ziweiʼs eldest son!”

Sure enough, he was the son of a Great Emperor!

This era was really lively. King tiers from various eras appeared one after another.

Ling Han looked at him coldly. This was a member of the Baili Clan, and the enmity between him and the Baili Clan was the deepest. Looks like this could not be resolved peacefully.

”Oh, do you want a battle?” Ling Han smiled faintly.

Meanwhile, Baili Haojie shook his head proudly, ”You are unworthy!”

He was the son of the Great Emperor, and he was also a Five Star Saint. In the past, he had also been an existence that no one could match, even if everyone in the whole world fought him. Now, the gap in their cultivation levels was so wide, so he naturally had a very high opinion of himself, and did not take Ling Han seriously at all.

Ling Han wasnʼt angered, and he simply shook his head, saying, ”Youʼve slept for too long, havenʼt you? Youʼre already unable to keep up with the trends!”

”No matter what, you are still a mere Venerate!” Baili Haojie smirked coldly, and stretched out a hand to grab Ling Han.

He was a Five-Star Saint, and his battle prowess was even more terrifying. His power took the form of a giant hand, which was entwined by ten eight-star Regulations, exuding an endlessly terrifying aura.

In fact, this was only a casual attack from him, but the gap in cultivation level was too wide. This kind of casual attack also possessed the might to crush Ling Han.

Ling Han didnʼt take it head-on. With a tap of his foot, he rapidly retreated.

”To dare humiliate our Baili Clan, who gave you the courage?” Baili Haojie took advantage of his victory to follow up with another strike. Boom, a terrifying storm was created in the bamboo forest, sweeping towards Ling Han.

The gap in battle prowess was really too wide. Even if Ling Han used the four pinnacle pillars, he still wouldnʼt be able to match the other. It would only cause the four pinnacle pillars to shatter at the first instant.

Thus, the only option now was to dodge.

”Donʼt you claim to be the number one prodigy in the universe?” Baili Haojie sneered. ”What is it? You donʼt even dare to take a single strike from me?”

”I am 9783 years old now, and can completely be considered to be of the same age level as you, so I canʼt be considered to be bullying the weak!”

”Is that all the courage you have?”

He mocked Ling Han to the extreme, as if he wanted to provoke Ling Han into a bout of youthful rashness, and couldnʼt hold himself back from confronting him head-on.

But how could Ling Han possibly fall for it?

Baili Haojie was a Five Star Saint, and this was already terrifying enough. Merely in terms of cultivation level, there were pitifully few people in the world that were superior to him, what more when his natural talent was outstanding, and his battle prowess had surpassed ten stars. Just how terrifying was that?

Ling Han wasnʼt stupid.

He used Phoenix Wings Divine Flight, and began to roam around in battle with Baili Haojie, neither too fast nor too slow.

This Phoenix Wings Divine Flight was indeed worthy of being the number one movement technique in the world. Though Ling Hanʼs strength was far inferior, he already possessed a battle prowess of Saint-level, and with his use, his fiery wings flapped, easily and calmly.

Baili Haojie was indeed strong, but if every attack did not hit its target, what was the use?

”Ling Han, do you only know how to run?” Baili Haojie began to mock him again.

”Arenʼt you known as the strongest prodigy?”

”Come, let me see how much strength you actually have.”

Ling Han smiled faintly, and said, ”If you would suppress your own cultivation level and battle me at the same cultivation level, see if I wonʼt push you to the ground and make you call me grandpa!”

Baili Haojie flew into a rage.

If he was told to call him grandpa, then wouldnʼt that mean that even Great Emperor Ziwei would have to call him father?

”How dare you! You actually dare to look down on a Great Emperor!” he said balefully.

Ling Han scoffed, ”You are the son of a Great Emperor, and your cultivation level is so much higher than mine. Donʼt you find it embarrassing?”

”Humph, I am the same age as you, so what is there to be embarrassed about?” Baili Haojie asked calmly.

”Haha, you are an ancient person from who knows how many years ago. You should have long since turned into dust, and ran into this era to snatch the great fortune from the later generations. Who knows how thick-skinned you can be!” Ling Han scoffed.

”Detestable!” Baili Haojie roared, his black locks billowing in the wind. He was truly enraged.

As the son of a Great Emperor, when had he ever been scolded like this?

He increased the intensity of his attacks, and began to use the eight-star Regulations to restrict space.

No matter how awesome your movement technique is, I will completely seal off space with the eight-star Regulations, and letʼs see how much more you can do.

This was an attempt to cut off Ling Hanʼs path of retreat.
