Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4437  Stone Forest

Ling Han scratched his head, and said with a smile, ”Although I know that, Iʼm still a little embarrassed that youʼre praising me like this right to my face.”

This… where was the slightest bit of embarrassment?

The child was extremely speechless. He had never seen anyone more shameless than Ling Han.

Forget it. He focused on eating, and ignored Ling Han.

Yet Ling Han asked about Imperial Path, wanting to find out what he would be experiencing next. However, the child did not respond to him, and merely ate and drank madly.

By the looks of it, he wouldnʼt be able to get anything out of him.

Ling Han also began to eat. After eating and drinking to his heartʼs content, the child left without a second thought.

He was leaving.

Ling Han also set out to continue his journey. After leaving this city, he turned around to take a look, and a smile involuntarily appeared at the corners of his lips. He had no idea what Guan Xinghan and the others would be thinking, after fighting so hard with one of them finally emerging as first place, but there would be no sight of the envoy delivering the Qingfeng Order to him.

It was definite that they were going to curse, and if they knew that he had obtained the Qingfeng Order, then there would probably be ten thousand curses stampeding madly through their heads.

Haha, interesting.

This wasnʼt fair?

What a joke. The envoy had not said how to obtain the Qingfeng Order, and it was them who had acted on their own initiative, insisting on hosting a martial arts tournament. Then why did the envoy have to follow their rules?

ʼYou guys can slowly play around and wait.ʼ

Ling Han strode off. He had to break through to the level of Sect Master as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he encountered the Golden Generation, he would only be outmatched, even if he could parry a few moves.

After all, the gap in cultivation level was too wide.

Ling Han advanced on his journey. Phoenix Wings Divine Flight was used, and his speed was astonishingly fast.

Three days later, a stone forest appeared ahead of him.

Ling Hanʼs eyes swept over the surroundings, and couldnʼt help but frown. This stone forest was completely charred, as if it had just been burned by a great fire. But the problem here was this was a stone forest. It was completely filled with stone pillars soaring into the sky, and there wasnʼt even half a tree, so how could it be burning?

He walked closer, and raised his head.

The stone forest was truly tall. The shortest of these stone pillars were a few hundred meters tall, while the taller ones were actually a few thousand meters tall, piercing directly into the clouds.

The stone forest was vast, and as far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight.

According to the residents of North Prosperity City, after one passed through North Prosperity City, the Imperial Path would become extremely dangerous, and would this stone forest be the beginning of danger?

He didnʼt dare to be careless. No one could help him here, so he could only rely on himself.

However, if one observed from the outside, they wouldnʼt be able to see anything.

Ling Han leaped into the air.

He was going to look down from the sky.

But he had not even begun to advance, when he saw multiple stone pillars glowing all over. Then, xiu, xiu, xiu, multiple pillars of light shot towards him.

He parried with a punch, and couldnʼt help but grit his teeth. He felt a great pain in his fist, and the surface of his fist had even broken, bleeding bright red blood.

The offensive power of this pillar of light was very strong.

Ling Han hurriedly descended. If there were a few pillars of light, he could withstand them, but if there were several hundred, or even several thousand stone pillars attacking him at the same time, he really wouldnʼt be able to withstand it.

He had best just walk on the ground obediently. Looks like he would not be able to circle around this stage.

Ling Han adjusted his breathing, and strode into the stone forest.

He stepped in; the ground was soft.

Yi?

He lowered his head to look. There was a thick layer of ash on the ground, and that was why it felt so soft.

Where had the ash come from?

Ling Han raised his head to look. Each of these stone pillars seemed to have been burned before. Could it be that they had produced this?

He dug up a pile of ash, and saw that there were clear layers from top to bottom.

The top layer of ash was very recent. Perhaps, it had only happened one or two days ago.

Ling Han walked forwards, but he didnʼt walk too fast, because this stone forest was too densely packed. One after another, stone pillars stood in front of him, and he had to circle around them, which naturally greatly decreased his speed.

As he walked, he saw a bright object on a certain stone pillar.

He couldnʼt help but feel a jolt in his heart, and hurriedly climbed up.

Thankfully, no pillar of light assaulted him.

He could see clearly. This was a scale that was burning like flames, so it looked bright.

”What powerful power of flames!” Ling Han used his eye technique to scan the surroundings, and immediately understood.

This was Venerate Tier-level, and even he felt apprehensive. If he touched it, he would definitely die.

However…

He took out the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower, and without wrapping it with his Spiritual Power, directly used it to enshroud the scale.

He stored it away.

This was forged from the essence of Origin Gold. So what if it was a Venerate Tier-level flame energy? He was completely unafraid.

He had gained a little. If he threw it out at the right moment, even if it couldnʼt hurt anyone, it could still scare people.

Ling Han smiled knowingly, and continued onwards.

After walking for a while, he felt a powerful wave of heat assault him.

He hung the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower above his head. If there really was a Venerate Tier-level flame spewing out, he would use the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower to collect it.

The further he walked, the more terrifying the waves of heat became. Even with the protection of the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower, Ling Han still felt as if every hair on his head was about to be burnt.

After all, the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower was only forged from the Origin Gold, and not the real Imperial Weapon. Thus, it was indestructible, but Primal Chaos Qi wasnʼt indestructible.

He tried to take a different path, and after walking for a while, he discovered that the heat wave had subsided slightly.

After circling around for a while, he was certain that it wasnʼt that the depths of the stone forest were all as hot as this. Instead, there was a point that was like this, and the heat affected an area.

He could take a different path and leave, but due to his curiosity, Ling Han still decided to get a clear look.

Adjusting his course, Ling Han headed towards the centre of the heat source.

The further ahead he went, the hotter it became.

After about half an hour, he shockingly discovered that a sinkhole had appeared ahead of him. Its depth was indescribable, yet waves of heat surged out, making him feel as if his skin was about to burn.

With his current strength, he could just barely withstand it, but it was really not a pleasant feeling.

Ling Han was slightly relieved. He put away the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower, taking it head-on with his physique.

He saw it as tempering, to further temper his physique.

—As long as there was no life-threatening danger, Ling Han was extremely unwilling to rely on external power.

Waves of heat rolled out, extremely scorching.

Ling Han stretched out his head to look at the bottom of the sinkhole, but it was completely dark, and nothing could be seen clearly. Even if he used his eye technique, it was useless. It was as if some kind of energy or Regulations had formed an obstruction.

What… could it be underneath?

Could it be a passageway?

Ling Han gritted his teeth. If this was a passageway, then Imperial Path would really be difficult to travel.

He believed that he could still withstand this kind of heatwave at present, but if he entered into the depths of the abyss and came into direct contact with the source of heat, even with the protection of the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower, it would probably be useless. He would still be burnt to ashes.

”What if I use this pearl?” Ling Han took out the Saint Tool staff. There was a treasure inside, and it was a natural treasure that could resist all negative effects. The prerequisite was that the effects had to be formed naturally, and martial intent could not be contained within.

He activated this bead, and instantly, a shield of light appeared, enshrouding him within.

However, as the wave of heat surged out, this shield of light shattered.

Ling Hanʼs expression involuntarily changed.

He himself could withstand this wave of heat, which meant that this was far from surpassing the might of the Venerate Tier, but why was this natural treasure unable to withstand it?

There was only one answer. This was not a wave of heat that was naturally formed.
