Alchemy Emperor Of The Divine Dao Chapter 1468 - 2

He raised a hand and grabbed at Jiuyao. As his hand reached forward, it transformed into a dry and shrunken claw. It was unclear what “species” this claw was from, but it reflected an icy-cold and metallic sheen. It was as if this claw were forged from G.o.dly metal. It was extremely terrifying.

Even more terrifying than this was his Eternal River Tier aura. He didn’t need to fully unleash it, and just a wisp of its might would be powerful enough to suppress all of the beings present.

Jiuyao… wouldn’t be able to resist this might even if he were 10,000 times more powerful!

Empress Luan Xing wanted to help, yet Ling Han raised his left arm to prevent her from interfering. He then extended his right arm, grabbing at that powerful claw.

“Laughable!” Yi Gaoning said with a cold sneer.

He was at the Eternal River Tier! He had only advanced to the Eternal River Tier 700,000 years ago, and right now, he was only at the late stage of the low extreme. However, those at the peak stage of the pinnacle level of the Heavenly Body Tier would only possess power that was on par with the early stage of the low extreme of the Eternal River Tier.

Moreover, was he not a prodigy? He would have an advantage of two stars, and he was more so a five-star genius himself. Thus, with these combined, he would possess a crus.h.i.+ng advantage of a whopping seven stars. If he still couldn’t defeat Ling Han, then he might as well kill himself.

Ling Han casually waved his hand, and Yi Gaoning’s claw immediately eroded at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. His claw was like sand that was flying away with the wind. Before his claw could even reach Ling Han, it had already vanished into nothingness.

The Tide of the Ages!

Ling Han had obtained the complete cultivation technique, Song of the Ages, from Hu Yu. This wasn’t like the cultivation technique that he had extracted from Ding Zizhen’s bloodline memory. Those in the Ding Clan would all receive the inheritance, the Tide of the Ages, in their bloodline. However, some would be powerful, while others would be weak. This was completely dependent on their bloodline.

Thus, Ling Han’s grasp of the Tide of the Ages would be affected by the limit of Ding Zizhen’s bloodline. Regardless of how powerful he became, his grasp of this technique wouldn’t be able to surpa.s.s Ding Zizhen’s. At the very least, he would need to advance to the Severing Mundane Tier before he could investigate the power of time.

However, Ling Han had cultivated in seclusion for 10 years after obtaining Song of the Ages. As such, how could his grasp of this technique not have improved?

“What?!”

Everyone was stunned upon seeing this. In fact, even Yi Gaoning was astonished.

‘How is this possible?’

This didn’t make sense. As a king tier at the late stage of the low extreme of the Eternal River Tier, shouldn’t he have possessed a crus.h.i.+ng advantage over someone at the pinnacle level of the Heavenly Body Tier?

Meanwhile, the seven king tiers who had yet to crawl through the dog flap all exclaimed in emotion. No wonder Ling Han was able to rank second among all of the new disciples! This was true strength! In fact, they even started to doubt whether Gu Daoyi would be powerful enough to achieve such a feat were he to be in Ling Han’s position.

Ling Han retracted his hand, and calmly said, “My disciple doesn’t need your guidance. If he needs any guidance, I’ll naturally provide it to him!”

Yi Gaoning’s expression was slightly adrift. He was pondering whether he should battle against Ling Han.

However, would he still have the face to show himself in the future if he retreated from a new disciple?

Taking new disciples down a notch was tradition. If he failed to complete this task, it was very likely that the supremely powerful king tiers of the academy wouldn’t let him off lightly.

He couldn’t help but curse in his mind. Why had he come across such a freak?

Among the nine Saints, the Tranquil Heart Saint wasn’t famous for his raw battle prowess. Instead, he was famous for his skill in the field of formations. In past years, no supreme king tier had become a disciple of the eighth campus. It was also because of this that he was extremely relaxed and wanton.

However, who knew that he would be so unfortunate? Such was his luck that he had come across this terrifying supreme king tier.

‘Motherf*cker! Is there something wrong with your brain? Why did you come to the eighth campus? You’re s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g me over, do you know that?!’

Yi Gaoning didn’t dare to underestimate Ling Han. “Junior Brother, what’s your name?” he asked in a solemn voice.

“Ling Han,” Ling Han replied calmly.

“Shall we spar?” Yi Gaoning didn’t dare to make any more bold claims. After all, he genuinely wasn’t confident of winning against Ling Han. The power of his opponent was beyond his expectations.

If he knew that Ling Han had been called up second by the Saints, perhaps he would feel slightly more at ease.

“Spar?” Ling Han couldn’t help but chuckle. He shook his head, and said, “If it’s genuine sparring, I welcome it at any time. However, it’s a shame that you people aren’t here to simply spar. It’s clear that you’re trying to exert dominance and take us down a notch.

“Let us battle! Enough with the nonsense. If you’re unable to achieve victory against me, then please go and obediently crawl through that dog flap as well!”

Anger involuntarily flared across Yi Gaoning’s face. Ling Han wanted him to crawl through the dog flap?

He was an Eternal River Tier elite!

Even on Wood Figure Planet, where there were 10 Saints, Eternal River Tier cultivators could still be regarded as elites. These were powerful cultivators who commanded respect and reverence from everyone.

Yet, Ling Han actually wanted an Eternal River Tier elite to crawl through a dog flap? Was he trying to cause an uprising?

“I’ve seen many audacious people. However, you…” Yi Gaoning shook his head, and continued, “Junior Brother Ling, your talent is indeed incredible. However, you have to understand that this is the Star Sand Martial Arts Academy. Here, there is no shortage of prodigies!”

Ling Han laughed loudly, appearing as wanton as could be. “That’s because you’ve never come across me before!” He was radiating with pride as he said this, and his astonis.h.i.+ng aura was so powerful that it could convince all those who heard his words.

Yi Gaoning was also affected by his aura. He faltered momentarily before a dark expression spread across his face. “Then let us battle!”

There was regret in his mind. Why had he accepted this task? If he had known that there would be such a powerful troublemaker, would he still have fought so hard for this task? What could he do now? Not only had he come across a troublemaker, but this troublemaker was even a profoundly powerful freak.

“Destruction of a Thousand Dao!” He slapped his own body.

Weng!

Specks of incredibly bright light pulsated inside his body.

This was a formation eye!

The Tranquil Heart Saint had succeeded his Dao through formations, and he had more so achieved this by using his own body as a formation. Every single bone in his body was a formation eye, and his body itself was more so a large killing formation!

Numerous golden sabers materialized around Yi Gaoning, all of them br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a murderous aura that soared into the skies.
