Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4615  Holy Flame Insects

When they knew that these insects only had extremely strong offensive power, but their defenses were overwhelmingly weak, everyone moved.

With the Saint-level power wreaking havoc, these insects were naturally destroyed in an instant.

What was surprising was that these insects died all over the ground, but not one of them was shattered into dust.

”Actually, their outer shell is tough enough, and even Saint-level power would find it very difficult to destroy them. However, their defenses are extremely low, and the power of the shockwave is enough to crush their fragile physical bodies.”

Everyone had discovered some clues.

This kind of insect was practically the embodiment of all kinds of extremes — super-strong attack power, super-fast speed, super-thick outer shell, yet it had an incredibly fragile physical body. It would die with just a slight shock.

”Yi, I remember now. This is a type of insect that only exists in legends.” An old Saint suddenly clapped his hands, ”These are Holy Flame Insects!”

This name was quite appropriate. It possessed the destructive power of a Half-Saint, and would glow like fireflies.

”Hiss!” Being reminded by this old Saint, a considerable number of old Saints similarly looked shocked. They all scrambled out, and were actually collecting the insect corpses.

Everyone faltered upon hearing this. However, since this insect corpse was capable of causing Saints to lose their composure, it was clear that it was extremely valuable.

Thus, without caring about anything else, everyone scrambled out, and joined the gathering team.

However, though there were many of the Holy Flame Insects, they were only so large. A single scoop would be able to gather a whole bunch of them, so how could they hold up to being divided among these Saints? Very soon, not a single one could be seen.

”What exactly is the use of this?” Finally, someone asked.

Thatʼs right, what was the use?

”You profligate brats!” an old Saint said with emotion. He was the Water Moon Saint from the Jade Drop Imperial Clan, and he was already a four-star Saint. ”The flames burning in this Holy Flame Insect… is the Holy Flame!”

”Though there is only a sliver, if it is refined, it would still be of great help to us,” the Qiantian Saint of the Blood Flames Imperial Clan also said.

Though there was only a sliver of the holy flame, it was really, really too difficult for a Saint to take another step forwards. Thus, even a sliver of the holy flame was incredibly valuable.

In any case, there had been over 10,000 Holy Flame Insects in the first place. If they were all obtained by one person, it would probably be enough to help a Saint advance to the next minor level of cultivation.

”Oh no, after the insect died, the holy flame was extinguished, and no longer has any effect.” Han Yun looked at the insect corpse in his hand, and couldnʼt help but exclaim in frustration.

Everyone also checked their gains one after another. Could they sense a sliver of the power of the holy flame?

Sigh, theyhad been excited for nothing.

However, Ling Han didnʼt pay much heed to this. Firstly, he wasnʼt a Saint yet, so he didnʼt have such a pressing request for the holy flame. Secondly, he was filled with confidence in himself. Even without external help, he could still improve rapidly among Saints.

Thus, he merely stared at that great tree.

Why did the Holy Flame Insects reside on this large tree?

Additionally, how had the Holy Flame Insects matured?

Though the Holy Flame Insects could not really be considered Saint-level living beings, and could not even be considered a Half-Saint, to possess the destructive power of a Half-Saint, and also have a sliver of the holy flame, this was no ordinary matter what.

How had they grown?

It was impossible for it to appear out of thin air and grow up out of thin air.

Thus, there was definitely something special about this tree.

Ling Han sized up the tree trunk and leaves, but couldnʼt perceive anything.

Being able to become a Saint, which one of them was not a smart person? They all circled around the great tree, trying their best to recall the information they had read before, and compare it with this.

However, after a long time, no one spoke.

The group of people studied it for a long time, and there were even some who deliberately went out to connect to the Galaxy Network, inviting people from all over the universe to join in on the research.

Ling Han and the others were also discussing.

”Thus, there must be nutrients that are necessary for their growth inside the great tree.”

”If the Holy Flame Insects depend on this great tree to grow, they would either eat the leaves of the great tree, or absorb the sap of the tree.”

”Thus, there must be nutrients that are necessary for their growth inside the great tree.”

”Then—”

Ling Han, Ding Shu and the others all had burning gazes. They moved, and plucked a small branch, which had a few leaves on it.

Though everyone was still studying it, dissatisfied with the way Ling Han and the others had destroyed it, firstly, Ling Han and the others had only plucked a small branch, and secondly, Ling Han and the others were too strong. Even the Golden Generation was unwilling to trifle with them.

Thus, only some people cast a few more glances at them, but no one spoke.

Ling Han and the others first plucked a leaf and studied it carefully, but did not find anything. Looking at the tree branch again, there didnʼt seem to be anything special about it.

”Huh? Is our research heading in the wrong direction?” Heaven Crushing asked with a frown.

With a thought from Ling Han, he used his intent as fire to ignite this branch.

With a boom, the branch immediately began to burn.

”These flames!” Ding Shu, Brother Monkey, the large black dog and the others immediately revealed shocked expressions. There was actually saintly power contained within these flames!

F***, this was the holy flame.

How was this possible?

Only Saints could burn the holy flame. Was this a Saint Tree?

That was impossible. Though the Celestial medicine was precious, there was not too little of it either. Which one of them could burn the holy flame?

Have you cultivated to the point of gaining consciousness?

Shui Qingchang hurriedly blew out a breath of air and extinguished the fire.

This was their discovery, and could not be known to others. Otherwise, if they wanted to snatch this great tree again, they would definitely be met with desperate resistance from the masses.

This holy flame could help them increase their cultivation level!

It should be known that the door to becoming Emperor had already been opened. Who could become Emperor was not just a matter of natural talent, but also a matter of who would be able to charge ahead.

Thus, whoever could monopolize this great tree and harvest all of the holy flame might be able to leave others behind on the path of becoming Emperor.

They quietly advanced. With their strength, as long as they felled the great tree and stowed it away, who would be able to stop them from leaving?

At this moment, Ling Han and the others all had a tacit understanding, forming an alliance without saying anything.

—When they seized this great tree, how they would divide it among themselves would be a matter for the future.

Slowly, they had already arrived beneath the great tree.

However, before they could make a move, a person suddenly ran in, and said loudly, ”I just received news that an old nine-star Saint has recognized this great tree. This is the Holy Flame Tree, and burning its trunk can form the holy flame!”

With a shua, all the Saints stood up. Then, their eyes focused on Ling Han and the others.

Sigh, could this be considered as having been caught red-handed?

”Hehe!” Since the others also understood the preciousness of this large tree, what need was there for them to be polite? Ding Shu was the first to move, and shot towards the large tree like an arrow, planning to uproot it.

”How dare you!” Instantly, the other Saints all moved, and charged towards Ding Shu.

Ling Han, Brother Monkey, Origin, and the others all moved to intercept.

There was no need to speak of their tacit understanding. Ding Shu would snatch the treasure, and they would intercept the others. When the time came, they would divide the spoils among themselves.

—If they fought internally at this time, it would only decrease their profits, and there might not even be any profit at all.

Boom!

Immediately, a great battle broke out. These were all Saints, and that was boundlessly terrifying.
