Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4909: The True Number One

Even Ling Han couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

He had only heard of some people nurturing disciples, while the more freakish ones were nurturing future wives and husbands. However, he had never heard of anyone nurturing enemies to kill them.

However, in the case of the Star Moon Empress, it was understandable.

She was undying and indestructible, and even if she wanted to commit suicide, she could not.

Thus, she could only nurture an even stronger person to help her end her life.

It was logical, but Ling Han felt extremely frustrated.

”I’m that person?” Ling Han asked in a solemn voice.

At first, he had not believed it, but after he had dragged Boundless and Mysterious Clouds into the inner heaven and earth, that kind of shock and disbelief could not be faked. They were really shocked, and really thought that no one could form the inner heaven and earth.

These two people were qualified to make such a judgement, because they were invincible Great Emperors, and who knew how many Stacked Eras they had stayed on this cultivation level for.

Thus, in terms of understanding of the four main elements, as well as the heaven and earth, they were definitely far superior to Ling Han.

Thus, they refused to believe that Ling Han could construct heaven and earth within his inner world, even though they were inside Ling Han’s inner world.

Star Moon Empress broke into a smile, ”That’s right!”

She paused for a moment, then continued, ”I tried countless times, and finally, there was one time that I successfully preserved a stone seed at the end of a Stacked Era. It was wrapped by my spiritual mark, and endured the change of heaven and earth.”

”Repeating Stacked Era after Stacked Era, I nurtured it with the four elements of my body, allowing this stone seed to possess the ability to manifest heaven and earth.”

”Then, in this Stacked Era, I released it.”

”You have not disappointed me. You have walked out of the stone seed, and constructed your own heaven and earth!”

Ling Han gritted his teeth. In other words, the old Divine Beast had been released by these three people, and the release of the Stone of Life was also the handiwork of this character. She had been imperceptibly influencing the Great Emperors.

Why did the Great Emperors not sense anything?

This was not impossible. Just look at how the old Divine Beast was acting. He only knew to excavate the caves of the four elements, but if he really had to explain the reason, he was actually a little muddled. He only had a feeling that he wanted to do so, and it became the motivation that supported him, and he pursued this goal for hundreds of billions of years. ＲАΝꝋʙĘs

All the Great Emperors had been living on the Imperial Island all this while, so it was really too easy for them to be influenced unknowingly. After all, the Star Moon Empress was a first tier existence.

Additionally, when the three invincible Great Emperors had appeared, the Mysterious Clouds Great Emperor had initially wanted to kill him. However, he had been stopped by the Star Moon Empress.

—A Great Emperor, who was indifferent to all life in the world, would actually deliberately dissuade him?

This was originally a very small and unreasonable action, but it could also be understood as the Star Moon Empress being in a good mood because she had just appeared, and that was why she had stopped the Mysterious Clouds Great Emperor from attacking.

And now, this new explanation was even more logical.

Ling Han was the person that Star Moon Empress had painstakingly nurtured to kill her, so how could she allow him to die first?

”Since you have such thoughts, it means that you still have the heart to do good. Why do you want to bring calamity to the world?” Ling Han asked solemnly.

”Hahahaha!” The Star Moon Empress laughed madly, ”No, no, no, after being trapped for so many years, I have long since lost all feelings. I am merely tired of living like this!”

”To us, so what if it is all the living beings in the world? So what if it is all the living beings in the universe? It is just a cycle of repeated destruction. Whether it is damaged or not, whether it is destroyed or not, there is no difference in the final fate.”

”Rather than that, wouldn’t it be more meaningful to be our playthings to help us pass some time?”

Ling Han shook his head. At first, he still had a sliver of pity and wanted to spare the Star Moon Empress, but now, his killing intent was firm again.

”Since that is the case, I will send you on your way to the afterlife!” he said word by word.

”Young man, don’t underestimate your enemy!” Star Moon Empress said haughtily. ”I was the first person in the world to grasp the four fundamental elements. In fact, Mysterious Clouds and Boundless were able to reach this level thanks to my secret guidance. If you want to kill me... it won’t be so easy!”

”Though I have nurtured you to kill me... I will not stretch out my neck and wait to be beheaded either. You have to have absolute strength to be able to do that!”

Boom!

The Star Moon Empress launched a counterattack, with astonishing power surging out of her body. The four elements appeared, solidifying and fusing together to form a heavenly spear.

The Empress brandished her spear, and swept it towards Ling Han.

Ordinarily, weapons that were suitable for women were short swords, daggers, scimitars, and so on. However, the Empress wielded a spear, and her domineering aura was unparalleled, possessing an indescribable beauty.

Ling Han clenched his hand into a fist, and shot out a punch.

Peng!

Fist and spear clashed, and blood actually spurted from Ling Han’s fist.

He was a soul now, so it naturally wasn’t true blood. Instead, it was a sliver of damage to his soul.

So powerful!

Ling Han couldn’t help but nod. As expected of the Star Moon Empress, the invincible Great Emperor that had lived the longest. If it was Mysterious Clouds and Boundless, after they entered into the heaven and earth of the inner world, they would be completely no match for Ling Han.

However, the weapon that the Star Moon Empress had manifested with the four elements could wound him. This was indeed extraordinary.

However, this was Ling Han’s inner heaven and earth!

Boom!

Ling Han swung his fist again and again. Similarly, there were four elements entwined around his fist, and it was as if a black film had been plated on the surface of his fist, exuding a cold metallic texture.

The Empress brandished her spear and clashed. Peng, the four elements instantly clashed fiercely.

Obviously, Ling Han had the upper hand in terms of quantity of the four elements. In the exchange of a single blow, the spear was instantly shattered, and the iron fist penetrated deeply.

”Plunder!” the empress shouted. She forcefully extracted the four fundamental elements from Ling Han’s heaven and earth, transforming them into a divine sword that charged at Ling Han.

Peng!

The heavenly sword shattered, but cracks also appeared on Ling Han’s iron fist. After exchanging another blow with the empress, the four elements that were wrapped around it were completely dispersed.

F***!

Even with Ling Han’s composure, he was still stunned internally. The Star Moon Empress was actually able to forcibly plunder the four elements inside his body, as if she was still in the outside world.

This was truly an unparalleled prodigy. Compared to her, Mysterious Clouds and Boundless were clearly much inferior.

If it was not for the fact that the first tier was the finishing line, he believed that this empress would still be able to leave others behind in her dust, and reach a height that others could not even look up to.

Furthermore, she had also said that the fact that Boundless and Mysterious Clouds had been able to grasp the four key elements was also thanks to her guidance.

—Without her guidance, there would be no new invincible Great Emperor among these 34 Stacked Eras.

As for Ling Han?

The Stone of Life was nurtured by her invincible martial intent, and she had already branded it with her mark from the very beginning.

Hence, this Empress was the number one person throughout the innumerable Stacked Eras!

You see, it was possible that there were already over a hundred, or even several hundred, Stacked Eras in which heaven and earth had evolved, but it was only in the thirty-fourth Stacked Era that an invincible Great Emperor like her appeared.

Afterward, it was because of her that three invincible Great Emperors had appeared.

Now, though Ling Han was stronger, he had to admit that in terms of natural talent in cultivation, he was really inferior to this person.
