Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

However, since Ling Han had cultivated the Indestructible Celestial King Physique to Great Accomplishment’s level, his physique was only slightly worse off than Divine Metal. Heavenly tribulation could strike him until he was drenched in blood, but that would be about it—it wouldn’t be able to go any further.

One day later, the heavenly tribulation dissipated.

Yet Ling Han did not show any sign of relaxing. Even at the Eighth Heaven, he was still unable to contend with a Pseudo-Heavenly Venerate, so he still needed to continue improving.

Back at the Pool of Nine Deaths, Ling Han buried himself in cultivation.

Hundreds of thousands of years later, the Empress and the Rain Emperor broke through respectively.

Time flew. 7,000,000 years later, Ling Han had advanced his cultivation to the peak of the Eighth Heaven, but he had encountered a bottleneck, and was unable to push through the doors to reach the Ninth Heaven.

On the contrary, the Empress and the Rain Emperor were making great progress, and they were about to catch up to him in cultivation level.

“Little Han, Ninth Heaven is the limit of the Regulations. This level is not so easy to break through,” the large black dog said. “You need to experience the world and understand the Regulations before you can take this final step.”

Ling Han nodded. Monarch Stars would be able to enter the Ninth Heaven without any difficulty, but this did not mean that he could watch his cultivation level soar just by sitting still.

One would still need to go through the necessary route, and the required process could not be dispensed with.

It was just that for some people, even if they were to take such a route, they might never be able to reach the end, and yet Ling Han could not only walk smoothly, but also reach the end very quickly.

“Grandpa Dog is almost finished here. It’s time for us brothers to go out. Brat, when you reach the Ninth Heaven, you will probably be able to battle even Pseudo-Heavenly Venerates,” the large black dog roared. “Defeat that little bastard He Yufeng. He has only entered the Pseudo-Heavenly Venerate Realm slightly earlier, there’s nothing great about it.”

Ling Han nodded, and decided to leave with the large black dog first, whereas the Empress, Bewitching Maiden Rou, and the Rain Emperor would continue with their cultivation here.

Bewitching Maiden Rou would occasionally enter the Pool of Nine Deaths for cultivation, but the time that she spent entering once was enough for the others to enter more than a dozen times, so the increase in her cultivation level was far from that of Ling Han and the others.

The Empress and the others agreed that Ling Han and the large black dog would leave and return to the martial academy first.

After more than 10 days of traveling in haste, the duo returned to the martial academy.

In the blink of an eye, more than 7,000,000 years had passed, and the great commotion caused by Ling Han previously had naturally subsided a long time ago. However, when people occasionally noted the names of Zhang San or Li Si on the Eternal Stone, it would make people lament that there had once been an extremely impressive character with the cultivation level of Seventh Heaven who had injured a Pseudo-Heavenly Venerate within the martial academy.

Of course, if not for the people who were present at that time, most of the others would still doubt the incident’s authenticity. How could a Seventh Heaven Celestial King hurt a Pseudo-Heavenly Venerate?

Ling Han and the large black dog were very low-key, and quietly entered the martial academy without attracting anyone’s attention. However, the martial academy was only so big, and no matter how low-key the team of one person and one dog was, they were still noticed, and this soon caused a wave within the martial academy.

However, the grand event that everyone had anticipated, for Ling Han to battle against He Yufeng once again, did not take place, as He Yufeng had left the martial academy millions of years ago already, and it was said that he had gone to the Realm Battlefield.
