Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao-Chapter 4701: A storm is coming
Chapter 4701: A storm is coming
Editor: Henyee Translations
After Baili Haojie found out about Ling Han’s strength, he was depressed for a whole three days.
He was the son of a Great Emperor, and should have been invincible among his peers, yet in the end, he had encountered a super freak, who suppressed him completely.
How was he supposed to compete?
This gap was not just a little bit, but was completely one-sided.
It could be said that even if all the Great Emperors in history were summoned, it was guaranteed that no one would be a match for Ling Han in a battle of equal cultivation levels.
It must be because of the treasure passed down by Empress Qingzhu!
It should be known that Empress Qingzhu had foreseen that there would be great dangers in this era, and made arrangements, leaving behind a trump card that could eliminate great chaos. That was why Ling Han was so freakish, right?
—He had guessed half right. However, even without the Seed of the Holy Flame, the Saint that Ling Han would become would still be incredibly powerful. He would only be slightly inferior to the present him.
Baili Haojie was extremely jealous. As the son of a Great Emperor, such a great opportunity actually didn’t fall into his hands!
The heavens were really unjust.
But what could be done? Time could not be reversed.
Even if Ling Han made all kinds of demands that went too far, the two great Imperial Clans could only swallow their grievances.
It could not be helped. Ling Han was too strong.
Right now, they could still rely on the Imperial Weapon and Imperial Formation to resist. However, what would happen when Ling Han became a Nine-Star Saint, or even a Pseudo-Emperor?
He would probably be able to channel the Imperial Weapon endlessly, and by then, aside from the true Great Emperor, who would be able to match him?
En, a Pseudo-Emperor bearing an Imperial Weapon should work as well, but whether it was Buddha Doga, Ge Qianqiu or Qian Yanghao, they were all on Ling Han’s side. Just the thought of it was enough to make one lose hope.
Ling Han left in satisfaction. He had practically squeezed the two great Imperial Clans dry.
In desperate times, desperate measures were naturally necessary. Moreover, he had already formed a great enmity with the Ziwei Imperial Clan. He was already being merciful by not razing them to the ground.
Ling Han went to a few more Imperial Clans, and directly showed his cultivation level as a One Star Saint. If anyone was dissatisfied, he further demonstrated thirty Eight Star Regulations, and immediately, there were no objections. They expressed their willingness to form an alliance with the Nine Suns Holy Land, and they would advance and retreat together.
The alliance was established, but how could real-time communication be achieved?
Even if the Saint’s speed was fast, the journey between two locations would take four to five days, at the very least. This Skeleton Saint Tool was pressing down on them en masse, and it was very possible that a battle would be over in less than half a day’s time, so what meaning was there to it?
Thus, they definitely had to establish a real-time communication network. Then, they also had to greatly shorten the time of travel.
Ling Han began to study formation techniques.
In any case, he was already at the peak stage of One Star Saint, and it was impossible for him to break through just by cultivating diligently. Thus, he had free time to do as he liked.
The method he thought of was naturally formations, but this was still limited.
Finally, he thought of the life plaque.
In the Imperial Clan, every important clansman had a life plaque. Once they died, their life plaque would immediately shatter.
Ling Han’s plan was to rear some pigs and dogs, and create life plaques for them. If anything happened, they could be killed, and the various great Imperial Clans would be immediately informed.
Similarly, the various Imperial Clans could also do the same. This dog corresponded to the Nine Suns Holy Land, and that pig would correspond to another Imperial Clan. Once slaughtered, its life plaque shattered, they would immediately be notified.
This solved the problem of communication. However, Ling Han still needed to think of some way to get the Saint-level reinforcements to arrive quickly. At present, the Transfer Formation was not as fast as a Saint making the journey personally.
However, this method of communication was met with opposition from the large black dog and the perverted pig.
Killing dogs and slaughtering pigs, wasn’t that just mocking them?
"If I don’t kill dogs and pigs, I’ll kill flies and mosquitoes, all right?" Ling Han could only compromise.
He had agreed on some details with the Imperial Clans. For example, what level of danger killing flies represented, and what level of danger killing mosquitoes represented. In fact, killing different flies and mosquitoes could also be combined into a complex message, transmitting more specific information.
However, how to get the Saint-level reinforcements to arrive quickly was still a dilemma that could not be solved.
There was really no other way, so he could only use the stupidest method.
Surveillance.
A dozen or so Saints were dispatched to keep an eye on the Skeleton Saint Tool. If there were any signs that they were going to attack any clan, they would immediately send a message and arrive in advance.
After such arrangements, Ling Han finally felt slightly more at ease.
The Skeleton Saint Tool was really too terrifying. It was mainly because there were too many of them. An abundance of ants could bite an elephant to death, and they were completely like lions. Only the Pseudo-Emperor could match them.
Even if Ling Han was so extraordinary, he could only fight one or two of them alone. Once there were too many of them, he would still be beaten to death.
Though the Netherworld did not launch another attack, the atmosphere was incredibly tense.
Ling Han believed that the Netherworld wouldn’t give him time to grow. The twelve Great Emperors had schemed for so many years, so how could they watch as he became a Great Emperor and destroyed everything?
Hence, this was a sign that a storm was about to come, and what would follow would definitely be an incredibly cruel battle.
Most importantly, Ling Han could run, and the large black dog, the empress, and the others could also run, but what about the Four Origin Planet?
There were too many living beings on it.
However, right at this moment, Ling Han suddenly discovered that he was about to break through.
He immediately went into seclusion. Right now, what was most reliable was his own strength. If he could become a Nine-Star Saint... no, as long as he became a Five-Star Saint, that would be enough. That would be enough to force the Skeleton Saint Tool into the ground.
This time, the breakthrough took a long time. A whole three months later, Ling Han finally managed to silently destroy another part of his body, and could thus accommodate even more Regulations.
A Two Star Saint!
His strength immediately soared, and the number of Regulations he had grasped increased from 25 to 30, but the power of belief could only boost Regulations by five times.
Ordinary Saints would only be able to accommodate an additional Regulation after advancing a single level. Those like the Imperial Son would only be able to accommodate an additional two Regulations. Furthermore, it could not be guaranteed that he would be able to reach this number every time he broke through. Only if he was the son of a Great Emperor, would he be able to reach the level of gaining three eight-star Regulations.
But what about Ling Han?
Five flashes!
This was very, very shocking.
However, Ling Han wasn’t overjoyed. Although his battle prowess had increased, it was still insufficient against the Skeleton Saint Tool.
"Now, it’s definitely no problem for me to fight three Skeleton Saint Tools alone, but..."
The number of Skeleton Saint Tools was in the hundreds. If they were all mobilized to attack Four Origin Planet, what could Ling Han do?
If he fought with all his might, he would definitely die, and if he abandoned it and fled, how could Ling Han bear to do so?
However, whatever he feared would come true.
On the third day after Ling Han came out of seclusion, he received news that the Skeleton Saint Tools had moved out, and were charging towards Four Origin Planet, and their numbers were... all at once!
This was a message that had been transmitted by the Saints at the front lines through the method of killing flies and mosquitoes.
At the same time, this news also spread to the other Imperial Clans.
The Saints from the various clans had all come. However, they all advised Ling Han not to clash head-on with the army of Skeleton Saint Tools. Instead, it was best for him to sacrifice his pawns to protect the chariot. Otherwise, he would only die with the Four Origin Planet.
No one agreed to defend the Four Origin Planet with their lives. There were far too many Skeleton Saint Tools, and the Imperial Weapons would only awaken for a limited amount of time. Thus, how long could they defend for?
Thus, retreating immediately was the best course of action.
