Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4847: Comprehension of the Netherworld

Ten Thousand Shadows Saint Emperor was waiting for Ling Han to make a mistake, and wasn’t Ling Han the same?

The Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower could unleash the might of the fourth tier, but it was only a tier’s difference, so it was almost impossible to achieve an absolute kill.

After the attack, the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower needed to recover for a whole 10 days. This was enough time for Ten Thousand Shadows Saint Emperor to flee, or for reinforcements to arrive.

Thus, Ling Han had to wait for an opportunity, or create an opportunity to deliver an explosive, fatal strike.

Among those who could become Emperor, which one of them was not an outstanding talent among men?

Ling Han and Ten Thousand Shadows Saint Emperor were both waiting for the other to make a mistake, and were also actively creating opportunities. However, both sides were cautious enough, and neither made a mistake nor fell into the other’s trap.

Ling Han couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. The Great Emperor that had reached this level through cultivation to become was completely different from a Great Emperor that was created.

The difference was really too great.

Previously, when he had killed the True Phoenix Emperor, though Ling Han had also expended some effort, it could not be considered as exhausting, but faced with Ten Thousand Shadows Saint Emperor, no matter what he did, he had no way to lure him into taking the bait, or create an opportunity for himself.

Of course, it was the same for the Ten Thousand Shadows Saint Emperor, adn the two of them could be considered to be stuck in a tie.

In a situation when battle prowess was more or less equal, an Emperor wanted to kill an Emperor?

That was impossible.

However, Ling Han still had the initiative in the end.

Firstly, he had a chance for the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower to release a burst of explosive power, and secondly, Ten Thousand Shadows Saint Emperor couldn’t possibly stay in this state forever.

However, after a long battle, Ten Thousand Shadows Saint Emperor’s reinforcements also arrived.

Three Lords of Death, as well as seven Divine Beast Great Emperors.

Faced with such a lineup, how could Ling Han possibly linger in battle?

”Ten Thousand Shadows Old Demon, I’ll come and take your dog head next time!” Ling Han laughed loudly. Then, without hesitation, he turned around and left quickly.

The other Great Emperors arrived, yet they were already unable to catch up to Ling Han. Ling Han possessed the Phoenix Wings Divine Flight, and even the True Phoenix Emperor could only stand on equal footing with him.

At this time, Ten Thousand Shadows Saint Emperor suddenly targeted the seven Divine Beast Great Emperors.

After he entered his prime condition, he needed to absorb a great amount of life essence. Otherwise, he could only expend his own life essence, and that meant that he was walking step by step towards death.

Thus, he needed to absorb the essence of life now. For this reason, he was willing to kill his ”allies”.

To him, the Divine Beast Great Emperors could not be considered allies. They could only be considered a temporary cooperation, and the goal was to get rid of Ling Han.

However, when it concerned oneself, he naturally could forget about it without the slightest hesitation.

”There’s no need to make a move. We can provide you with some life essence,” the seven Divine Beast Great Emperors said at the same time.

Yi?

The Ten Thousand Shadows Saint Emperor was slightly surprised. He had not thought that the seven Divine Beast Great Emperors would actually be so ”generous”. ṛΑℕ∅฿ƐS

However, this was something that he could not refuse. Immediately, he opened his mouth and sucked. Instantly, the life essence of the seven Divine Beast Great Emperors surged out, and was absorbed by Ten Thousand Shadows Saint Emperor.

After a while, the Ten Thousand Shadows Saint EMperor stopped. He had clearly absorbed a large amount of life essence, yet his body had instead become shriveled and thin. His body was once again enveloped in black mist, and it was hard to see him in the slightest.

”Thanks,” he said calmly.

”Heh, we have a common goal, so there’s no need to thank us,” Bi Fang Emperor said. ”The problem now is that brat is becoming more and more powerful. How can we eradicate him?”

This caused the four Lords of Death to fall silent. At this time, Ling Han already possessed the power of a Great Emperor, so it would not be easy to find him, and it would be even more difficult to detain him.

Even Saints would find it difficult to kill Saints, what more when a Great Emperor wanted to kill another Great Emperor.

Furthermore, aside from the ancient times, when had there ever been two Great Emperors that were alive at the same time in this world?

So what if they were as powerful as Great Emperors? They couldn’t think of any good solution at all.

...

Ling Han circled around, and did not return to Four Origin Planet.

Right now, the safest option for the Four Origin Planet was to stay as far away as possible.

The target of the Lords of Death and the Divine Beast Great Emperors was him, so they would only spend a lot of effort to search for him. Thus, as long as he didn’t return to the Four Origin Planet, the Four Origin Planet would be safe.

He continued to revive suns, sweeping through Yin souls.

The Living Realm was slowly recovering.

After all, this was the Living Realm. With the power of heaven and earth actively expelling it, once the Yin souls were destroyed, the environment would naturally transform faster back to the Living Realm.

During this process, Ling Han continuously experienced the Regulations of Death.

The Regulations of Death should belong to the Netherworld, but Ling Han didn’t feel like he couldn’t grasp it.

That was because above the Regulations of Death was the essence of death.

Elements of heaven and earth could be grasped, so why couldn’t Regulations be grasped?

The other side of life was death. Ling Han had mastered the Regulations of Life, so it was actually the easiest to master the Regulations of Death.

The current star was in a state of death, and Ling Han revived it. This was the effect of the Regulations of Life, but at the same time, it also allowed him to see a sliver of the profoundness of the Regulations of Death.

As time passed, Ling Han revived more and more stars, and his understanding of the Regulations of Death also became deeper and deeper. However, he was still a little bit away from grasping it.

This was a Regulation that did not belong to the Living Realm, so it was naturally difficult to grasp it. In fact, it was theoretically impossible.

But who asked this universe to be shattered?

The invasion of the Netherworld caused the power of heaven and earth of the Living Realm to become weaker, and the suppression on Ling Han was also pitifully small, giving him this possibility.

The Lords of Death and the others naturally wouldn’t sit by and watch. They continously opened passageways to the Netherworld, allowing large amounts of Yin souls to enter.

Ling Han decided that he would enter the Netherworld again.

Firstly, it was to strengthen his understanding of the Regulations of Death, and secondly, if he killed all the Yin souls, where would the Lords of Death find Yin souls to assimilate the Living Realm?

Having made up his mind, he immediately found a weak point of the two realms and entered the Netherworld.

Yin souls actually came from the dead beings of the Living Realm, and now that almost all the stars of the Living Realm had died out, it naturally added countless Yin souls to the Netherworld for a short period of time. However, this was killing the goose that lays the golden egg. In the future, without the Living Realm to supply Yin souls, the number of Yin souls would decrease with each death.

Ling Han shuttled through the Netherworld. He didn’t even need to attack. Once his flaming wings soared into the sky, Yin souls of all levels would die at the slightest touch.

The Netherworld could go to the Living Realm to commit a massacre, so how could it be that he couldn’t do the same?

Originally, Yin and Yang were in order, and would not interfere with each other. Now that the Netherworld had broken the rules, there was naturally no need for him to adhere to any more rules.

However, the Netherworld was too large. Even with Ling Han’s Emperor Tier abilities, it would still take an incredibly long time for him to cover every inch of land.

After several hundred years, Ling Han’s comprehension of the Regulations of Death had deepened greatly, and the most direct reflection was that what was spread out beneath his feet was no longer the great golden path, but rather incredibly pitch-black.

The end of life was death, but the end of death was life.

Ling Han stopped in his tracks. All of a sudden, enlightenment dawned on him.

He sat down in a cross-legged position and began to cultivate.

The aura of life exuding from his body became extremely weak, as if it was dead silent.

He sat there for 900 years.
