Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4688: Igniting the holy flame

The larger the surface of the attack, the weaker the power would definitely be. This was inevitable.

Thus, the more elites battled, the less large-scale destructive moves would be used. This was because it would be too easy for their opponents to break through their defenses and easily disperse their attacks.

Unless one’s battle prowess was overwhelming, then so what if they expanded their attack range? Even if their power was dispersed over a larger area, they would still possess the ability to crush their opponents.

Now, Buddha Three Miseries had used the power of belief, and the attacks he delivered had reached the height of 22 eight-star Regulations. This naturally was completely overwhelming.

Moreover, he had already sealed off the entire space. Ling Han would definitely have to face this palm strike head-on.

Taking it head-on?

Wouldn’t that be a path of death?

However, what could he do even if he didn’t face it head-on? Space had already been sealed off, so where could he hide?

Thus, no matter how one looked at it, Ling Han definitely wouldn’t be able to escape from this tribulation.

Everyone nodded. This time, this prodigy of all eternity was finally going to die here.

However, Ling Han was completely unfazed.

At this moment, the Seed of the Holy Flame had already combusted completely, and the four pinnacle pillars had also been ignited. In Ling Han’s eyes, the whole world was completely different.

He saw the eight-star Regulations!

If he didn’t ignite the holy flame, he wouldn’t be able to see the eight-star Regulations. He would only be able to vaguely touch a sliver of it. This also allowed a small number of prodigies to ignite the holy flame with their own power when they were at Fourth Extreme.

However, it was far too difficult for Ling Han to reach this level. He had broken through the limits of Fourth Extreme, and he had even obtained the Seed of the Holy Flame, which he had infused with the intertwining Seven Star Regulations. This was equivalent to an eight-star Regulation.

It was equivalent to him first grasping the battle prowess of Saint Tier, and then igniting the holy flame. Was this something that all the other Saints in the world could compare to?

So... that was the case!

Understanding dawned on Ling Han. The eight-star Regulations instantly intertwined in his mind, as if he had long since grasped it.

At the same time, the millions and millions of living beings in the dimensions inside his body also seemed to be responding. Endless beings were revering him, worshipping him with incense.

Power of belief!

At this moment, the power of belief was no longer untouchable and incomprehensible. Instead, it was truly laid out in front of him.

He stretched out a hand, and multiple Regulations intertwined on his fist. They were not Seven Star Regulations, but rather... Eight Star Regulations!

One, five, ten, fifteen!

Boom, Buddha Three Miseries’ massive palm was already upon him, as if the heaven and earth were collapsing.

His palm strike caused heaven and earth to pale, and brilliance to blaze. Boundless Regulations exploded. So what if he was a Saint? He would still have no choice but to retreat. ṛáΝÔＢЁ𐌔

Saints were difficult to kill, and that was because they could flee if they were outmatched. If they insisted on fighting head-on, it was guaranteed that they would also die very quickly.

Buddha Three Miseries did not make another move. After suffering such a blow from him, even if Ling Han did not die, he would definitely be severely injured. Next, any Venerate would be able to apprehend Ling Han. If he was to make another move, wouldn’t that be demeaning his own status?

He turned around and strode forward.

”As expected of Buddha Three Miseries!”

”Hehe, when he was young, there was also practically no one in the world that could match him.”

”Now, the strongest king tier of all eternity has passed.”

”Hmph, this is what happens to those who bite off more than they can chew.”

Everyone chanted loudly. Since he was already dead, they would not mind expiating Ling Han’s dead soul.

The brilliance that filled the skies withdrew, and the shards of Regulations also returned to the heaven and earth.

Yet a figure appeared amidst the shattered light. He stood proudly, as straight as a spear.

Instantly, everyone could not help but gape, as if they could not believe it at all.

That was... Ling Han!

He actually didn’t die!

Not only had he not died, there was actually not the slightest injury on his body.

Heavens!

No one dared to believe this. Wasn’t this just nonsense?

”Humph, this brat must have used the Imperial Weapon!” someone immediately said.

With these words, everyone came to a sudden realization. That’s right. Ling Han had also obtained Empres Qingzhu’s Imperial Weapon, so wasn’t it only natural that the Imperial Weapon would be able to block the attack of a nine-star Saint?

However, the Saints all frowned slightly, because they did not sense Imperial Might.

When the Imperial Weapon was activated, how could Imperial Might not permeate the whole area?

Thus, they suspected that it was extremely likely that Ling Han hadn’t used the Imperial Weapon. However, this confused them even more. If he didn’t use the Imperial Weapon, how could he possibly block the attack of a nine-star Saint?

Ling Han slowly withdrew his fist, then opened his mouth. ”Wa,” he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the aura all over his body fluctuated endlessly, appearing extremely unstable.

In this strike, he naturally did not use the Imperial Weapon. Thus, it was precisely because of this that his blood boiled, and even his soul was about to be thrown of his mind.

However, he was not shocked, but rather pleased.

Because he had completely relied on his own power to disperse this attack.

It should be known that before this, it was impossible for him to take the attack of a nine-star Saint head-on, what more when it was a Saint who had been further boosted with the power of belief to the point of 22 flashes of eight-star Regulations.

But now, he had withstood it, though this made him feel very terrible.

More importantly, what was it?

His four pinnacle pillars were burning fiercely, causing the number of Regulations he had grasped to continue increasing.

The reason why his eyes were still tightly closed was because he was rapidly improving. With every second that passed, he would be able to capture an additional portion of the eight-star Regulations, which was contained in his body.

Saints possessed Regulations, and it was as if they were manifestations of heaven and earth. It was because of this that they could wield the power of belief. It was also because of this that eight-star Regulations possessed a crushing might.

Sixteen flashes, seventeen flashes, eighteen flashes... this speed wasn’t as exaggerated as it had been at the beginning, and it was still decelerating continuously. However, the number of Regulations in Ling Han’s body was still increasing.

Ahead of him, Buddha Three Miseries also stopped.

He turned around slowly, his eyes fixed on Ling Han, as if he was observing.

”Half-Saint!” he spoke up.

With his keen senses as a Nine-Star Saint, he could confirm that Ling Han had already ignited the holy flame. However, the Fourth Extreme pillar had not been completely ignited yet. Thus, he was presently in the state of Half-Saint.

This process could be long or short. Some people did not have enough comprehension, or the power of belief was not enough to support their comprehension. Then, the Fourth Extreme pillar would stop burning, and the holy flame would naturally be extinguished.

However, it did not mean the longer it took to burn, the better it was. On the other hand, the faster the Fourth Extreme pillar was burnt to nothing, the deeper and more thorough one’s grasp of Regulations would be. Only if one’s grasp of Regulations was just barely enough, would it be slow and take a very long time. Furthermore, it was very likely that it would be extinguished midway.

However, no matter what, the burning of the Fourth Extreme pillar would have to continue for about ten days. This was already publicly acknowledged as the fastest record.

Even for Buddha Three Miseries, he had also used seventeen days to incinerate the Fourth Extreme pillar.

”As expected of the strongest prodigy of all eternity. He actually managed to successfully combust the holy flame under such great pressure, and became a Half-Saint!” Buddha Three Miseries did not hide his admiration at all, and this caused Shi Gang’s expression to become very ugly — this guy was really narrow-minded.

”However!” Buddha Three Miseries suddenly changed the topic, and said, ”No matter what, you’re still only a Half-Saint. It’s still difficult to change your fate.”

Boom, he controlled his Saint-level power, which blasted towards Ling Han.

—So what if you have the Imperial Weapon? I only have to force you to expend all your power, and the Imperial Weapon would only be a decoration.
