Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4687: Battling a nine-star Saint

Guo Shuang ignored him completely.

”I hit the nail on the head, so you’re speechless?” Shi Gang gritted his teeth, ”Don’t forget, our betrothal was approved by the Ancestral Buddha!”

Guo Shuang looked at him coldly, her heart filled with utter disdain.

Speaking of natural talent in martial arts, this Shi Gang was indeed very talented, and was the top prodigy of his generation. Otherwise, he would not have been qualified to be taken as disciple by Buddha Ah Han. However, in terms of magnanimity, this person was too narrow-minded. Thus, she had chosen to have the Ancestral Buddha seal herself in advance because she did not want to take another look at this guy.

But destiny... sigh!

Right at this moment, Ling Han suddenly revealed a smile.

The Seed of the Holy Flame finally ended its hibernation state and underwent a change.

Fine, there was no need for him to waste any more time.

Ling Han stretched out a hand and pressed down. The four pinnacle pillars appeared, and trapped the five-star Saint within.

”Using the four pinnacle pillars to create a cage?” The five-star Saint sneered, ”Do you think I’m a Venerate?”

This was too funny. The four pinnacle pillars could indeed trap people, but would they be effective against Saints?

’Fine, I’ll shatter your pinnacle pillars. Let’s see how you can continue to be a prodigy!’

The five-star Saint condensed the holy flame and shot it toward one of the pillars.

Peng!

His palm struck the pinnalce pillar, and a scene that stunned him appeared. With this palm strike, the four pinnacle pillars were all glowing, but they did not shatter in the slightest.

What!

The Five-Star Saint was so stunned that his scalp was slightly numb. It was one thing for Ling Han to possess a battle prowess that could match him, but even the four pinnacle pillars were so awesome... how could he accept this?

”Freeze!” Ling Han said. Weng, the seals on each four pinnacle pillars lit up.

The Five-Star Saint was stunned to discover that he was actually unable to move.

How was this possible?

A dignified Saint was actually trapped by the four pinnacle pillars? Who would believe this?

Others would probably be laughing their heads off.

Seeing this scene, everyone’s eyes widened, and their minds went blank.

This!

Were they dreaming?

Ling Han threw another punch. Peng! The five-star Saint was sent flying, blood spraying through the air.

He smiled faintly, and looked towards Shi Gang, ”Are you prepared to be beaten by me?”

Shi Gang’s expression was dark. This was practically a slap to his face.

”Three Miseries, deal with this guy!” he spat out word by word, his killing intent overflowing.

”As you decree!” Buddha Three Miseries recited a Buddhist proclamation. With a single step, he had already arrived in midair, standing face to face with Ling Han. RᴀꞐỗβĘṨ

”Young man, you had best surrender yourself,” he said calmly. As a nine-star Saint, he naturally had the pride of a nine-star Saint. f

All this while, there had been no Emperor in the world. The nine-star Saint was the absolute overlord, the strongest existence in the world. Naturally, his every word and action would be filled with arrogance.

Ling Han broke into a grin, and put away the four pinnacle pillars. Faced with a nine-star Saint, he did not dare to be careless.

It was extremely likely that his opponent’s battle prowess had surpassed the limit of the four pinnacle pillars. If he really destroyed the four pinnacle pillars, he would definitely cry himself to death.

”Nine-star Saint?” Ling Han murmured. ”Come, I want to see how strong you are.”

”Young man, you are too arrogant!” Buddha Three Miseries snorted, and delivered a palm strike towards Ling Han.

This palm strike was clearly light and nonchalant, without the slightest bit of anger, but its might was terrifying without bounds. The whole heaven and earth was responding, and tens of thousands of Dao were illuminated by auspicious red clouds. Buddhist lotuses bloomed everywhere.

When a Saint absorbed Regulations, they could be viewed as the embodiment of heaven and earth, and the Nine-Star Saint had reached the pinnacle.

Amidst the myriad of auspicious clouds, a large hand suddenly swatted out. Its fingers were slender, and its skin was snow-white and lustrous, like fine jade.

However, there were eighteen eight-star Regulations entwined around this large hand.

Eighteen flashes!

Sure enough, those who could become nine-star Saints were definitely prodigies among prodigies.

And this was still because the Buddha Three Miseries hadn’t used the power of belief. Otherwise, his battle prowess would have increased a few more levels.

Ling Han didn’t take it head-on—he wouldn’t be a match if he took it head-on. He used Phoenix Wings Divine Flight, and his figure flew through the air at an indescribably fast speed.

”Humph!” Buddha Three Miseries advanced. Though the Sacred Land was not small, it was not big for a Saint. With such a small place, where could you hide?

He began to seal off the space with Regulations, compressing the area that Ling Han could move in.

This was something that only he could do. That was because the strength of the five-star Saint from before was not stronger than Ling Han, so Ling Han was completely capable of breaking through his blockade by force.

However, in the hands of Buddha Three Miseries, the number of Regulations that were used as a seal had reached as many as eighteen, and they were definitely not something that Ling Han could easily destroy.

And with the Saint’s speed, as long as Ling Han was unable to succeed with a single blow, he would be caught up to. If he did not parry, he would die!

Thus, under the control of the Buddha Three Miseries, Ling Han’s range of activity began to shrink bit by bit.

Beneath them, whether it was Saints or others, they all smirked coldly.

Ling Han’s fate had already been decided.

This was the consequence of provoking the Buddhist Race. He would die to atone for his crime.

However, everyone couldn’t help but admire Ling Han’s strength, because he was only at the Fourth Extreme.

”As expected of the strongest Fourth Extreme in history.”

”It’s a shame that he’s going to die in the end.”

”Humph, who asked him to be so outrageously bold? He actually dared to come to our Buddhist Race!”

Shi Gang also smirked coldly. His natural talent in cultivation was extremely high, but he was too narrow-minded, and could not allow anyone’s natural talent to be superior to his.

And now, this publicly acknowledged number one prodigy of all eternity was finally about to disappear.

Very good!

Ling Han’s space of movement became smaller and smaller, but he wasn’t nervous at all.

In his mind, the Seed of the Holy Flame had completely combusted, and his four pinnacle pillars had also automatically fused together, turning into a pillar that connected to the heavens.

The Seed of the Holy Flame was at the top of this pillar. After burning to a certain extent, the four pinnacle pillars were also ignited.

Boom!

An astonishing wave instantly surged out of Ling Han’s body, spreading out in all directions.

”W-what?!”

All of a sudden, everyone was stunned.

”This is the fluctuation of the holy flame!”

”This guy is actually going to break through during battle, and advance into Saint Tier!”

”Impossible!”

”How important is breaking through to Saint Tier? One would need to be extremely cautious. It would not be strange for one to cultivate in seclusion for a few thousand years, so how could one possibly break through in battle?”

No one believed that Ling Han could break through. This was too exaggerated. Breaking through in battle was really too much of a joke!

”I know now. This guy is in desperate straits, and has no choice but to take a gamble.”

”En, that must be the case!”

”Though it is definitely impossible for this guy to succeed, but to avoid any further delays, we had best dispose of him as soon as possible.”

”That’s right.”

Everyone nodded. Though they definitely did not believe that Ling Han could break through during battle, this guy was too freakish. Everyone was afraid of what if.

Buddha Three Miseries no longer hesitated. He chanted a Buddhist chant, and when he delivered another palm strike, boom, there were shockingly 22 eight-star Regulations wrapped around him.

”An, ma, ne, ba, mi, mo!” In the heaven and earth, the Buddhist lotuses bloomed everywhere, and there was also the chanting of the Six Characters Bright King Curse. Each character took form, and charged towards Ling Han.

Boom! This palm strike locked down Ling Han’s escape route.
