Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Boom, the golden snake bit down, but could do nothing against this white screen of light.

“Shan Jitong, are you courting death?” Lao Song asked menacingly, his voice shockingly sharp and high-pitched.

“That would depend on whether you have that ability!” The young man in white, Shan Jitong laughed loudly, not the slightest bit afraid.

The two great elites clashed. A boundless aura rippled out, turning into a gigantic serpent behind Lao Song. It was completely golden, and there were patterns of great dao on it, but not a single one could be distinguished clearly. It was like chaos. The great serpent coiled its body. It was at least 30,000 meters tall, its aura devastating as if it was capable of shattering the heavens with a slight movement.

An image also appeared behind Shan Jitong. That was a white sword, and looked as if it was forged from a sword. It seemed capable of shattering at the slightest touch, but was completely able to resist the might of that giant serpent.

“Fifth severance!” Ling Han and the Empress exchanged a look, and spat out these two words at the same time.

The fourth severance definitely could not possibly be this strong. Only the fifth severance could reach this kind of height. Merely a ripple of aura was enough to make Severing Mundane Tiers feel as if they had fallen into an abyss as their hearts and spirits trembled.

True enough, the Gathering of Prodigies had other fifth severance elites aside from Yan Xianlu.

“That is… Source Snake of heaven and earth!” Bewitching Maiden Rou said in a shaky voice, her pretty face bearing an expression of fear, feeling an indescribable terror.

“Source Snake?”

Ling Han had heard of Source Powers of heaven and earth, like the Nine Heavens Flame and Xuanyin Source Water, and also knew of the Chaos Source Rock. It was said to be the first rock that had formed when heaven and earth were split apart. However, what the heck was a Source Snake?

“When the heaven and earth first split apart, there was initially nothing, but as heaven and earth improved, the first batch of living creatures appeared, and they are collectively called Ancestral Source,” Small Tower suddenly spoke up.

“The first dragon in the world is called the Ancestor Dragon, Source Dragon, and the first phoenix in the world is called the Ancestor Phoenix, Source Phoenix. Then, the first snake that was born in the world would be called… Source Snake!”

“The ancestor of all snakes, Source Snake. What level is it?” Ling Han asked.

“Ancestral Source creatures are definitely at Celestial King Tier. However, for different Source types, the height that they could reach in the Celestial King Tier would also be different,” Small Tower said. “The strongest is naturally the likes of Ancestor Dragon and Ancestor Phoenix. Ancestor Snake is also considerably strong. It could be Seventh Heaven, or Eighth Heaven.

“Without unique luck, there should be no hope that it could reach Ninth Heaven.”

Ling Han nodded. This Lao Song had to be an heir of the bloodline of Source Snake. However, it was unknown whether he was a snake that had taken human form, or he personally was human but had cultivated the techniques of the Source Snake.

Thinking about it, the chance of the latter being true was not very high. He should be a descendant of the Source Snake to be able to reach this kind of height.

Ling Han’s blood for battle bubbled. There was not just a single fifth severance here. Perhaps just watching these people battle would be enough to help him complete his breakthrough.

He and the Empress both watched closely. This was the first time that had really seen fifth severance elites. Merely feeling that kind of aura was enough to help them gain a sliver of a chance of breaking through.

“Hehe, Brother Lao, Brother Shan. What’s going on here? Even if my reception is not satisfactory, there is no need for the two of you to get into a fight, right?” Amidst laughter, a young man in embroidered robes was approaching, stepping on air. He was moving at a very fast speed.

There were three young people behind him, and they were two men and a woman, respectively. All had the bearing of giants among men.

“Yan Xianlu!” Both Lao Song and Shan Jitong withdrew from the clash, and turned to look at this young man in embroidered robes, revealing a strong wariness in their expressions.
