Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4649  Pinnacle of Fourth Extreme

Ling Han smiled and said, ”Should we continue this battle?”

Lu Xun glared angrily at Ling Han. He was clearly facing a Venerate, yet he felt a strong sense of helplessness.

If they fought, he would not be able to win. If he pursued, he would not be able to catch up.

He had still been too arrogant. He had predicted that Ling Han would possibly appear here, but had not brought any helpers with him. In the end, even though Ling Han had been caught, he was completely unable to capture or kill him.

—Why did he not invite others? He naturally had his own motives.

That was the seed from the Primitive Abyss. If he killed Ling Han together with others, then who would this seed belong to?

”Youʼre not playing anymore? Then I wonʼt accompany you.” Ling Han waved his hand, planning to tear a rip into space and leave.

”Ling Han!” Lu Xu shouted loudly. When Ling Han paused, he continued, ”You can escape this time, and perhaps you can escape the next time, but in the end, you wonʼt be able to escape your destined fate!”

”Oh?” Ling Han smiled faintly, ”There is a saying of ʼdestinyʼ?”

”Humph, in the face of an irresistible situation, your fate has long since been decided!” Lu Xun declared proudly.

Indeed, there was a Great Emperor standing behind him, and there were a total of 12 Lords of Death behind him. At that time, they had even killed a true Great Emperor, what more when it was a mere Venerate.

Even if Ling Han became a Saint, so what? Even if he advanced to become Pseudo-Emperor, so what?

Without becoming a Great Emperor, how could he be qualified to challenge Great Emperors?

Moreover, there were 12 of them.

Ling Han shook his head and said, ”To those who want to improve themselves endlessly, fate is in their own hands. Only people like you would think that fate is destined.”

”Humph, Qian Yanghao should have told you what kind of hopeless existence you have to face, right?” Lu Xun called out again.

”Thatʼs why itʼs so much more fun!” Ling Han laughed loudly. It was said that the Great Emperor was invincible, but because Great Emperors would never have the chance to encounter another, aside from in the ancient times, no one knew the gap in strength between different Great Emperors.

Now, he would be fortunate enough to exchange blows with twelve supreme elites that had each ruled over an era. To him, that was not despair, but excitement, and anticipation.

F*ck, what kind of monster was this?

Lu Xun was rendered speechless. He already knew that the opponents he had to face were 12 Great Emperors, yet he could still smile with such confidence. This was truly rendering him speechless.

Ling Han smiled, and took a step forwards. Instantly, his figure disappeared into the Void.

Lu Xun didnʼt give chase. He could come and go as he pleased in the Living Realm, but Yin souls could not. In fact, even the Saintly corpses would be restricted to a certain extent.

”In the end, you are just a clown.”

”The wheel of time has already begun. If you try to stop it like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, you will only be crushed into dust.”

Lu Xun said coldly. Was there anyone stronger than a Great Emperor in this world?

There was none!

Thus, the combined forces of the 12 Lords of Death were invincible. It was definitely not something that any one could stand against.

…

Stars passed, and Ling Han returned to Four Origin Planet.

He harvested Celestial Qi every day, and concocted alchemical pills. He was already getting closer and closer to the peak stage of Fourteen Stars.

Brother Monkey and the others kept bringing back news.

Ling Han and the others werenʼt the only ones fighting against the Yin souls. Ding Shu and the other Genesis World rulers, Baili Haojie and the sons of Great Emperors were also mobilized to attack the Yin souls.

Though they were pitifully few in number, a single spark was enough to start a prairie fire, what more when all of them were Saints. Each of them had the strength to destroy planets, so their destructive power against Yin souls was naturally great.

Thus, with this kind of impediment, the progress of the Netherworld was naturally halted.

Three years ago, Baili Haojie and Shi Gang battled fiercely, destroying seven galaxies!

Shi Gang was the personal disciple of the Buddhist Raceʼs Great Emperor, and just like those ancient prodigies, he had been sealed by the Primordial Source Clay. After millions and millions of years, he had come to this era.

A year and a half ago, Luo Yang and Wu Xingtong battled in space.

Seven months ago, Heaven Crushing battled Feng Miaoling and destroyed a sun, forming a black hole in the Void that devoured who knew how many Yin souls.

The ancient Imperial Sons and the Genesis Worldʼs masters were all exuding their own brilliance, each of them showing the potential to become Emperor.

The competition for the position of Great Emperor in this era was undoubtedly the most intense in history. If the heaven and earth could release their restrictions, it was very possible that they would usher in a golden age like the ancient times — multiple Great Emperors would appear in the universe at the same time.

Ling Han was not idle either. He continued to attack. He encountered Di Wuji, Yang Yihuan and the others respectively, and began a great battle. However, after reaching Saint Tier, it was really too difficult to kill his opponents.

Thus, though the battle had been decided, neither side would be able to kill the other.

To kill a Saint if a Pseudo-Emperor did not appear?

It was practically impossible.

Ling Han quickly charged up to 15 Stars. This was extremely difficult, because there were already 14 seals on the four pinnacle pillars, forming a powerful resistance to prevent the formation of the 15th seal.

He had failed a total of 81 times, and this time, he had finally succeeded, advancing into Fifteen Stars.

Thankfully, he had killed enough Yin souls over these years. With the rewards of heaven and earth, his life force had been strengthened to a certain extent. Otherwise, with so many failures, he may have destroyed even his own foundations.

However, he was finally a fifteen-star Venerate.

Then, if he cultivated this cultivation level to the end, he would truly have reached the consummate level of this cultivation level. He would be able to light up the holy flame, and become a Saint.

Once he became a Saint… hehe!

Ling Han continued to capture Celestial Qi and concoct alchemical pills, and continued to kill Yin souls to increase his strength.

The universe was bustling with noise and excitement. All the prodigies displayed their graceful bearing to their heartʼs content, establishing their outstanding reputations.

However, they were not invincible.

The son of the Great Emperor of the Crimson Rainbow Imperial Clan was ambushed. Twelve Skeleton Saint Tools sealed off the space, causing this ancient Imperial Son to battle to the last drop of his blood. Helplessly, he died with grudges.

When the news spread out, the whole world was shocked.

A Saint-level being, and the son of a Great Emperor at that, had died!

This was undoubtedly a massive blow. Was the strength of the Netherworld truly unstoppable?

Ding Shu, Shi Tianlu, and the others had clearly become more cautious in their attacks. Furthermore, the frequency of their attacks had also decreased considerably. They were all people who had hopes of becoming Emperor, so they naturally did not want all their efforts to go to waste at this moment.

After all, as long as they cultivated normally, it was only a matter of time before they reached the level of Nine-Star Saint.

And once they became Pseudo-Emperor, they would be able to move unhindered in the universe as long as a Great Emperor did not appear.

Now, everyone was aiming for the position of Pseudo-Emperor. Whoever was the first to beocme Pseudo-Emperor, that was undoubtedly taking the lead in the path to becoming Emperor.

In the battle for Pseudo-Emperor, everyone excluded Ling Han.

—Though Ling Han was strong, his cultivation level was too low, and he was not just a little bit weaker than the king tiers of the younger generation.

But at this time, Ling Han had also successfully cultivated to the peak stage of Fifteen Stars.

Consummate level of Fourth Extreme!

He could ignite the holy flame and attempt to break through to Saint Tier.

Ling Han immediately began his seclusion, making the final preparations.

After all, this was becoming a Saint.

A whole half year later, he finally began to let that seed sprout, to ignite the holy flame.
