Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao-Chapter 4540 - : Nine Star Sect Master

Chapter 4540: Nine Star Sect Master

Editor: Henyee Translations

The more Xu Jianshan fought, the more flustered he became. His injuries were becoming more and more severe, and had already reached a point where it was difficult for him to recover.

The reason why he was still persisting was because he was really too defiant.

The pride of the Imperial Son and the pride of the Golden Generation made him grit his teeth and persist, determined to fight to the last moment.

Thus, he had also suffered greatly. He was beaten up for a whole half an hour, and only then was he slowly worn to death.

When he died, he didn’t even look human anymore.

Ling Han was speechless. He indeed didn’t want to torture Xu Jianshan, but who asked him to be too difficult to kill?

...

“These people from the Imperial Clans really have a lot of tricks up their sleeve.”

Ling Han felt rueful. Seven great stars had been refined into Di Wuji’s body, and once they exploded, his power would directly soar to three stars, or even five stars Venerate Tier-level, and in Xu Jianshan’s case, Saintly bones had been implanted into his body.

The example of Di Wuji might be more special, because it was very possible that this kind of technique was the doing of a Great Emperor, but there was no Great Emperor in this world now, so this kind of technique could not be replicated.

But something like Xu Jianshan should not be rare.

In other words, it would be extremely difficult to kill those Imperial Sons in the future.

“Sigh!” Ling Han shook his head. Unless he could advance into Saint Tier, this would definitely have some effect on him.

“Why are you always causing trouble for me?”

Ling Han studied Xu Jianshan’s corpse for a while. He had a feeling that there was a vague terrifying fluctuation in that Saintly bone inside Xu Jianshan’s body.

“Strange, I seem to have sensed this kind of fluctuation somewhere.”

“Oh, that’s right!”

Ling Han took out the broken sword. Occasionally, there would be an obscure fluctuation emanating from within, which was exactly the same as the Saintly bones.

“It’s not as simple as the aura of a Saint.”

“As for the details, I still have to ask the old man.”

Ling Han wanted to take away Xu Jianshan’s Saintly bones, but discovered that he could not.

This Saintly bone was like a sharp Divine Sword. If he touched it, the only result would be that he would be riddled with wounds.

This was not the Saintly medicine. Though the grade of the Saintly medicine was high, it did not have any destructive power, but this was different. It was showing off its full strength.

Sigh!

Ling Han sighed, unable to take it away.

So be it if he couldn’t retrieve it. In any case, he didn’t like bloody bones either.

Ling Han shook his head, and continued to battle with the Yin souls.

Right until the Yin soul army retreated, did he return to the warship.

Seeing that only Ling Han had returned, everyone was incredibly stunned.

Where was the Imperial Son?

Could it be…

None of them dared to think further. That was really too terrifying.

But did Ling Han really dare?

They did not know, and did not want to know either. The waters here were really too deep. Even if they knew just the slightest bit, it would bring a fatal calamity to them.

The warship safely returned to the Purple Gauze Planet. At present, it was still very calm. However, very soon, the matter of Xu Jianshan’s disappearance would spread out, and then his death would be discovered. Naturally, the culprit would have to be found.

Ling Han was definitely the first suspect. Xu Jianshan and the others had gone to hunt him down, and now that he had returned, Xu Jianshan and the others had died. If they didn’t suspect Ling Han, who would they suspect?

“I really want to see just how shameless the Imperial Clans can be.”

At present, he was a flag that everyone was staring at. If he collapsed, everyone would guess that it was the doing of the Imperial Clans.

Thus, it was absolutely impossible for the Imperial Clans to make a move on him in public. No matter how much they suspected that he was the culprit who had killed Xu Jianshan, they could only investigate in secret. They could either use the Yin souls to kill him, or create the illusion that he had been killed by the Yin souls.

As expected, the news of the deaths of Xu Jianshan and the others quickly spread out, but the Xu Clan was extraordinarily calm. In fact, they did not even send anyone over to question Ling Han, and acted as if nothing had happened.

Several days later, the Yin souls once again began their attack.

Ling Han still went to battle, reaping the rewards of heaven and earth, and while he was at it, after he had saved up 15 million merit points, he immediately went to redeem Eight Stars Celestial Qi.

His cultivation level was soaring madly.

He was at the middle stage of Seven Stars, at the late stage, then at the peak stage. Then, he began to break through.

Eight-star Sect Master!

In a short few months, he had soared from a six-star Sect Master to an eight-star Sect Master. Ling Han had to admit that though it was possible that the yin souls barraging the Living Realm would have extremely far-reaching effects, for the moment, he had really profited, and it was a great profit at that.

In terms of ability to kill Yin souls, no one was stronger than him. Even Venerates couldn’t compare.

—Even if they could be compared, how many rewards of heaven and earth would a Venerate need to take a step forward? It would definitely be 10 times or even 100 times more than him, right?

As the Yin souls continued to invade, Ling Han’s cultivation level continued to advance rapidly.

He broke through to the middle stage of Eight Stars, the late stage, and the peak stage.

Nine-star Sect Master!

Ling Han was very pleased. He had finally arrived at the end of the Minor Advanced Tier.

Now, he only had to kill a few more Yin souls, and advance his cultivation level to peak stage Nine Stars. Then, he would be able to break through to the Fourth Extreme and become a Venerate.

If he became a Venerate, what need would he have to fear everyone in the world?

So what if a Saint moved? If he was no match, he could completely flee.

He was filled with anticipation. He only had to advance another step further, and he would truly possess the preliminary qualifications to directly oppose the Imperial Clans.

Of course, if the Imperial Clans sent out Saints, or even the Imperial Weapon, he would definitely have no option but to flee. However, unlike now, there was no need for him to change his identity anymore. He could walk around the world with his original appearance.

Subsequently, he was extremely expectant of every battle, and was getting closer and closer to the Venerate Tier.

Nine Stars middle stage, late stage, peak stage!

That was enough.

Ling Han planned to immediately break through to Venerate Tier. If he became a Venerate, the efficiency of killing Yin souls would increase by who knew how many times.

However, he shockingly discovered that he… could not break through.

Why?

He hadn’t even begun, so how could he have concluded that it was impossible?

The reason was because of those chains on the fruit of cultivation.

If he wanted to become a Venerate, he would have to let the fruit of cultivation transform into the Fourth Extreme. However, the problem was that his fruit of cultivation was now tightly bound, so how could it transform into the Fourth Extreme?

Ling Han kept trying, wanting to break through these shackles.

However, he hadn’t been able to do so when he had been a One Star or Two Star Sect Master. Now that he was a Nine Star Sect Master… he couldn’t do so either.

These were the shackles that the heaven and earth had placed on him. As punishment for the Destructive Energy that he had cultivated to a complete state, they could not be broken at all!

Ling Han used his Spiritual Power to take human form, attempting to tear off one of the links. As long as he could tear off one, he would naturally be able to tear off the second, the third, and so on.

However, it was useless even if he exhausted his Spiritual Power.

It could not be severed!

He tried to use Destructive Energy. This thing could destroy everything, but the shackles were firmly embedded in his fruit of cultivation. Without waiting for the shackles to shatter, his fruit of cultivation would be destroyed first.

Without the fruit of cultivation, then what was the point of breaking through to Venerate Tier? His cultivation level would drop to Spiritual Transformation Tier.

After several attempts, Ling Han had no choice but to admit that he was really helpless against these chains.

Could it be that he would be stuck at the level of a nine-star Sect Master for the rest of his life?

True, he was definitely the strongest Sect Master in history, but what was the use?

Was he qualified to contest for the imperial throne?

There was no need for a Saint. Even if a One Star Venerate made a move, if he were to face them head-on, he would only be able to ensure his survival, at most.

No, there was always a way out. There would definitely be a way out!
