Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4814: Four Elements

”Uh, Senior, can you use a name instead?” Ling Han couldn’t help but ask. At the same time, he couldn’t help but complain in his mind.

The Battle Saint Emperor gritted his teeth, and said, ”The first Great Emperor that came here should be the Heaven Slashing Demon Emperor, right? His original form is a rabbit.”

By the looks of it, he didn’t seem to like the Heaven Slashing Demon Emperor.

Alright, a monkey and a rabbit. Perhaps there was some familial enmity between them.

A thought suddenly occurred to Ling Han, and he asked, ”Senior, what is that old Divine Beast like?”

The Battle Saint Emperor described it, and Ling Han couldn’t help but hiss in surprise, because this was exactly the same as the Divine Beast he had seen in the memories of the Azure Phoenix Great Emperor.

This was a Divine Beast that had not left its name in history. It was extremely strange, yet after the Divine Beasts had died, it had entered into their burial ground, and ”stolen” their corpses.

Why did he steal them?

Was it for the sake of creating the present thirty-six Divine Beast Emperors?

However, the 36 Divine Beast Emperors had still been created ”in recent times”, and in the long passage of history, this Divine Beast had always been at war with the Battle Saint Emperor and the others, so why didn’t it revive the 36 Divine Beast Emperors as soon as possible?

It was clear that the 36 Divine Beasts were far from enough to deal with the Battle Saint Emperorand the others. Thus... the purpose of their creation wasn’t to target the Battle Saint Emperor and the others. Instead, it was to prevent him from entering.

This ”him” was actually a backup plan that the Great Emperor Wuya and the others had set up. It could be Ling Han, Ding Shu and the others, or in fact, if Ling Han hadn’t been able to become the Genesis World’s Master at that time, it could even be Hysteria.

Ling Han related what he knew, which made the Battle Saint Emperor feel extremely curious. f

As it turned out, there was such a thing.

In fact, they didn’t even know that there were another 36 Divine Beast Emperors in the outer region.

”That old Divine Beast has grasped the fundamentals of Creation and Life, and added with the corpses of the 36 Divine Beasts, the Divine Beasts can indeed be reproduced.” The Battle Saint Emperor pondered for a moment. ”However, the creation can actually also reach the level of a Great Emperor. This doesn’t make sense!”

If one had grasped the essence of Creation, they could create things out of thin air, and if they had grasped the essence of Life, they could bestow life. Thus, it was theoretically possible for the 36 Divine Beasts to reappear.

But as for Great Emperors?

If something like a Great Emperor could also be created... that would really be too terrifying.

What secrets did they not know?

Alright, Ling Han continued to ask.

The Heaven Slashing Demon Emperor and the old Divine Beast battled fiercely. However, the old Divine Beast had grasped the three major factors of Life, Creation and Destruction, and its battle prowess was inconceivably strong. The Heaven Slashing Demon Emperor was completely no match for it. Thankfully, there was a Cave of Life here. No matter how heavily injured the Heaven Slashing Demon Emperor was, he would be able to recover very quickly.

What he had to do was also very simple, and that was not to give the old Divine Beast enough time to break open the Cave of Death, and calmly comprehend Dao.

—Actually, he could be considered lucky, because the Cave of Life couldn’t be directly entered at the beginning, and thanks to the old Divine Beast, it had taken him who knew how many years to open it.

Otherwise, perhaps, the Heaven Slashing Demon Emperor would have already died of old age before he managed to open the Cave of Life.

This was not uncommon. It had already happened here.

Afterwards, even more Great Emperors entered, and resolutely stood on the side of the Heaven Slashing Demon Emperor, opposing the old Divine Beast.

Ling Han interrupted him, and said, ”In other words, after arriving here, the strength of the Great Emperor can actually still increase?”

”That’s right.” The Battle Saint Emperor nodded, ”In the outside world, one can only cultivate to consummate level of Nine Star Regulations at most. This is something that practically any Great Emperor can do. However, after coming here, one can continue to grasp the four fundamental factors. With every aspect that one grasps, battle prowess would be qualitatively improved.” ɽＡΝꝊʙĚș

Hiss, in that case, there should be eight tiers in Emperor-level battle prowess.

The first tier of battle prowess was currently vacant. The second tier of battle prowess was the old Divine Beast, who had grasped the three elements of Life, Creation and Destruction. The third tier of battle prowess had grasped two elements, and the fourth tier of battle prowess had grasped one.

The fifth was the ordinary Great Emperor. The sixth was the Divine Beast Emperors, the seventh tier was the Lords of Death, and the eighth tier was the Imperial Weapon, battle prowess which had just broken through to Emperor-level.

Coming back to the Battle Saint Emperor, he continued to answer his questions.

Though more and more Great Emperors had come, and all of them wanted to stop the old Divine Beast, the old Divine Beast was too strong. They could only slow it down, but could not stop it.

After so many years, the old Divine Beast was close to opening the Cave of Death.

And once he succeeded... he would be able to kill all the Great Emperors in an instant. Even if they had grasped the essence of Life, it would be useless.

That was because in a clash of fundamental factors, it would depend on who was stronger.

Thankfully, in the Primitive Abyss, time was the least valuable. The so-called ”very fast” would need hundreds of millions of years or even longer, even in the outside world.

And for the Great Emperors that had come here, because the island was filled with the essence of Life, even if they had not grasped it, their lifespan was still unlimited.

Of course, the prerequisite was that they had to stay here. Otherwise, their lifespan would have long since dried up, and they would definitely die immediately when they left.

Because they could only delay the old Divine Beast, but could not stop it, the Great Emperors began to make arrangements, and sent out the Stones of Life.

The so-called Stone of Life was a rock in the depths of the Cave of Life. Because it had always been nurtured by the essence of Life, it naturally possessed the mighty power of Life. Furthermore, it had also been placed in the Cave of Creation and the Cave of Destruction for a very long time, and now possessed a sliver of power of Creation and Destruction.

This rock had been obtained by Xuan Taiyu, but he had just used it to cultivate Destructive Energy, when he encountered misfortune and was ganged up on by the Lords of Death, and finally died.

Most of the events now matched, but the question was, what role did the Lords of Death have in this matter?

”According to our deductions, after those b@stards entered into the Primitive Abyss, they were bewitched by the old Divine Beast, and that’s why they turned themselves into half-human and half-ghost,” the Battle Saint Emperor guessed.

”But isn’t the old Divine Beast, battling fiercely with you guys?” Ling Han asked.

”Since that old Divine Beast, Ling Han, was able to create 36 Divine Beasts without our knowledge at all, then it is not impossible for him to entice those b@stards with his divine sense,” the Battle Saint Emperor speculated.

The Great Emperors here were setting up some plans, and the old Divine Beast was not idle either. Furthermore, his plans were even more frightening.

”Once the Living Realm develops to the extreme and begins to collapse, then the Netherworld would be expanding. The shockwave created would be enough to affect the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and even affect here...” The Battle Saint Emperor inhaled sharply, ”That old geezer, he wants to use this method to open the Cave of Death, so he can see the secret of the essence of Death!”

Seeing the essence of Death did not mean that one could grasp it, but for the old Divine Beast, as long as he could glimpse this kind of profound mystery, would he still be far from grasping it?

”Those b@stards must have fallen for it. To say nothing of advancing further after achieving immortality, they would only meet a tragic end in the clash of the two Realms of Yin and Yang,” the Battle Saint Emperor said disdainfully.

This was the collision of heaven and earth. Even a Great Emperor couldn’t withstand this.
