Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4878: Severed Route

Ding Shu and the others led the way, and the Great Emperors charged towards the Cave of Death.

In truth, the battles at the Cave of Death had never stopped. Only the heavily injured and dead Great Emperors would go to the Cave of Life to recover, forming a cycle of battles.

However, when everyone rushed to the Cave of Death, they shockingly discovered that the battles here had actually stopped.

What was going on here?

”A few days ago, the old Divine Beast suddenly sent us flying. Then, it used rocks to block the passageway. We have to first move the rocks away before we can continue our attack,” the Great Emperor Wu Ya said.

The heaven and earth structure of the Imperial Island was too sturdy. Even if it was a Great Emperor, it would not be an easy task to break through the pile of rocks.

Furthermore, the old Divine Beast had blasted people out of the cave first, and then began to block the hole. Just how long was this passage?

Thus, cleaning up the rubble was also a difficult task.

”We’ll do it!” Ding Shu and the others stepped out. They had grasped the essence of destruction, so they were very suited to digging pits.

—The reason why the old Divine Beast could advance so rapidly was naturally also because he had grasped the essence of destruction. Otherwise, his progress would be much slower.

Moreover, this was only filled with rocks, and they were not starting from the very beginning. Naturally, the difficulty level would decrease further, and could not be compared to the old Divine Beast.

The three Genesis World’s rulers began to clear the rocks to create a hole.

”Do you feel anything? Ever since we came here, our class has suddenly decreased,” the large black dog said. ”Not only do we have to be beaten by the same character every day, but we also have to do jobs like mining.”

Er, it was clearly a battle between Great Emperors, and for the sake of protecting all life in the world, such a sacred and noble cause, why did has it changed so drastically, coming out of your mouth?

”Only you!” Everyone pointed at the large black dog, looking like they wanted to draw a clear dividing line between them.

In terms of strength, the large black dog definitely wouldn’t be able to become the strongest in this lifetime. However, to be so despicable that even the Great Emperors would reject him, that was the height that the old Divine Beast had reached.

From this aspect, the large black dog had really lived enough in this lifetime.

In any case, they had nothing else to do, so the large black dog continued to chatter and joke around with the others.

This was called being flexible. Obviously, once the passageway was dug out, it would be another arduous battle.

Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years. This passageway was long in the first place, and even Ding Shu and the others would need some time to destroy the solid matter here.

Thus, even after 1000 years, they still hadn’t dug to the end.

However, going by everyone’s experience, they would be able to dig to the end in another twenty years, at most.

—The old Divine Beast was progressing even slower on his side, so how many feet could he dig in over a thousand years?

Thus, as long as they dug to the end of the tunnel, they would be able to encounter the old Divine Beast.

”However, don’t you guys find it strange?” The large black dog scratched its head, ”That old Divine Beast doesn’t take us seriously at all, so why did it suddenly block the path?” ꭆ𝐚ɴȮʙƐṨ

Yes, this was indeed very strange.

Previously, though the Great Emperors had tried their best to stop him, the truth was that the old Divine Beast had not been affected at all. It was just that he had nothing better to do, so he could use the Great Emperors to pass some time. Otherwise, as long as he was willing to pay some price, it was not impossible for him to annihilate all the Great Emperors.

But now, he was actually blocking the way?

The possibility that he had a premonition that Ding Shu and the others would break through was too small.

Furthermore, though Ding Shu and the others had advanced into third tier, their battle prowess was still no match for Ling Han. Thus, there was absolutely no reason for the old Divine Beast to be afraid.

”There must be something fishy about this!” the large black dog concluded.

It was the ancestor of trickery, and immediately felt that something was off.

”Could it be that we should allow that old beast to do as it pleases?” Ancestral King Lingtian frowned.

”Grandpa Dog feels that it would be better to wait for Little Han to come out of seclusion. Our power is still inferior to the old Divine Beast. Don’t let him defeat us one by one, and ruin the good hand of cards that we have been dealt,” the large black dog said very seriously.

At this time, it was really very serious — if it had not used its claws to scratch its behind.

All the Emperors were speechless. This despicable dog always managed to ruin the atmosphere. It was clearly a tense time.

Moreover, he even said that the class of events had decreased. With you here, how could the level of class be any higher?

However, what the large black dog said was indeed reasonable. After all, it was the ancestor of being despicable. Its thoughts could be used as reference. Who knows, it may really be able to hit the nail on the old Divine Beast’s idea.

They went to ask Ding Shu and the others, and voiced everyone’s concerns.

”It’s all right. We have already grasped the essence of destruction. If the three of us join forces, even if we are no match for that old beast, the gap would not be too big,” Ding Shu said.

”Moreover, this place is filled with the essence of life. As long as the old beast hasn’t grasped the essence of death, it can’t possibly kill us,” Jing Haoran said.

”Precisely because of this, we have to find the old Divine Beast as soon as possible to stop him from continuing to dig,” Shui Qingchang added.

Er, these words were quite logical.

Though the old Divine Beast was strong, without grasping the essence of death, he had absolutely no ability to kill Great Emperors — it was not like Ling Han, who could absorb Regulations himself.

Thus, even if there was a shock, they wouldn’t be in danger.

The Emperors couldn’t convince Ding Shu and the others, so they could only let them continue.

”Not good!” The large black dog shook his head, and said, ”These three people are dissatisfied with being suppressed by Little Han all this while, so they’re trying their best to do something. They’ve already surpassed Little Han, so they’re no longer rational.”

”However, they have a point. In this place, aside from Little Han, who can kill Great Emperors, even the old Divine Beast can’t,” the little azure dragon said.

”Believe Grandpa Dog, that old b@stard is definitely up to something!” the large black dog said with absolute certainty.

”Then what do you think we should do?” the empress asked. She still trusted the large black dog quite a bit, and when it came to devious ideas, there was no one that was better at it than the large black dog.

The large black dog pondered for a moment, and said, ”We’ll observe the situation. If things go awry, we’ll immediately retreat into the Cave of Creation. No matter what, we have to protect Little Han.”

Faced with the unknown, it could not think of a way to deal with it.

”En.” Everyone nodded.

”But, Old Black, could it be that you can also be serious for once? This is really unexpected!”

The large black dog sneered, ”Grandpa Dog has always been very reliable, all right!”

”En.” Everyone nodded again, but the expressions on their faces... were saying ’yeah, right’.

Everyone sat down and waited quietly.

At most, the answer would be revealed in twenty to thirty years.

Peng!

37 years later, a muffled sound came from the cave.

It was clear!

All the Great Emperors hurriedly stood up. They were going to battle with the old Divine Beast again.

”My hands are itching to kill!” The Battle Saint Emperor gripped his staff.

”So is Old Sun.” Brother Monkey was also rubbing his fists. However, his Saintly Material staff was completely useless here. He had already thrown it away, and now, he could only fight bare-handed.

Thankfully, he was already a fourth tier Great Emperor, so the effects of the Imperial Weapon would also be limited.

Boom!

Amidst a huge commotion, Ding Shu and the others rushed out of the cave, and behind them, the old Divine Beast that had transformed into an elegant scholar slowly walked out, looking calm and composed.

”Kaka, have you all come to seek death?”
