Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4500  Participation of the Imperial Clan

Ling Han was very strong, but the Venerate Tier was even stronger.

He was a Venerate Tier elite, so even if he only had Pseudo Venerate Tier-level strength, that wasn't just empty boasting.

However, the old Venerate Tier elite was merely dreaming if he wanted to kill Ling Han. Merely in terms of abilities, there wasn't much of a gap between the two of them, what more when Ling Han had countless trump cards. In fact, if he took out the Energy Jade, he was completely capable of screwing him over.

The old Venerate Tier became more and more astonished as he fought. How could there be such a Minor Advanced Tier?

This was too strong, wasn't it?

"Tsk, Old Sun is here!" With a harsh exclamation, a staff shadow descended from the skies, smashing towards the old Venerate Tier's head.

Brother Monkey was here.

The old Venerate Tier's expression changed drastically. How was this possible? The Moonlight Planet actually had a Fourth Extreme elite?

Shouldn't he be the only one?

How could he still bother about Ling Han? He hurriedly retreated, not daring to face his attack head-on.

To say nothing of the fact that his current strength had dropped from the level of Venerate Tier, even if he was still maintained at his prime condition, there was still no way that he would be a match for Brother Monkey.

Who was Brother Monkey?

He had aptitude comparable to the Golden Generation, as well as a Saintly Material weapon. Even nine-star Venerate Tiers wouldn't dare to face this strike head-on, let alone him, whose strength had already retreated to Pseudo Venerate Tier-level.

Brother Monkey attacked repeatedly, and the old Venerate Tier elite retreated continuously. There was no doubt about this at all. He was completely suppressed.

"It's you!" The old Venerate Tier elite revealed a shocked expression. He recognized Brother Monkey.

This wasn't difficult at all. Brother Monkey's appearance hadn't changed much since 2000 to 3000 years ago. Moreover, his sharp mouth, monkey-like cheeks, and fiery temper left a deep impression on everyone.

However, what surprised the old Venerate was the fact that Brother Monkey had actually become a Venerate after only so many years!

'F*ck! Where's the barrier to the cultivation level?'

'Do you really think that the barrier to the cultivation level is just a joke and non-existent? Do you think you can break through just because you want to?'

Just think, how old had he been when he had reached the level of Nine Star Sect Master?

Twenty thousand years old.

He was only 20,000 years old, yet he had spent a whopping 17,000 years to finally break through to the Venerate Tier. Moreover, because he was too old, and his vitality was waning, he had clearly attained complete comprehension, yet still almost failed.

It was also because of this that he had been unable to unleash his full battle prowess. It was because of this that he had suffered hidden wounds in the subsequent battle. This had caused a huge disaster.

But what about Brother Monkey?

He couldn't compare; he didn't dare to.

Looking at Ling Han beside him, that was even more infuriating. He was only a few hundred years old, at most.

Shua, the staff swept out, terrifying without bounds.

The old Venerate Tier hurriedly came back to his senses, dodging with all his might, not daring to take a blow head-on at all.

In truth, even if Brother Monkey did not use a Saintly Material weapon, he would not dare to take it head-on either, because the gap in battle prowess was too wide. If he took it head-on, he would definitely die.

However, at present, he was only struggling at death's door, and would not be able to last a few moves.

The Venerate Tier elite truly wanted to cry.

Was it easy for him?

In the past, he had fled like a stray dog. Now that he had finally made a comeback, he should have been able to enjoy a glorious life, but who would have expected that he would suffer another terrible defeat?

He said harshly, "Monkey, do you know whose orders I have come under?"

Ling Han immediately smiled internally. As expected, this old geezer had gotten help from someone.

"Who cares who he is? I, Old Sun, will knock them all down with a single strike!" Brother Monkey ignored him completely. With a wave of his staff, it was as if he wanted to destroy the heavens and earth.

"That's the Ziwei Imperial Clan!" the old Venerate said. "I received the help of the Ziwei Imperial Clan and healed my injuries. Now, under the command of the Ziwei Imperial Clan, I've come to reclaim the Moonlight Planet and expand my territory!"

Heh, using the Imperial Clan to intimidate them?

Didn't he know that they had even killed a considerable number of Imperial Sons?

"Oh, what benefits would the Ziwei Imperial Clan gain from doing this?" Ling Han asked. What didn't the Ziwei Imperial Clan have? To the point that they needed to specially help such an outdated Venerate?

"Humph, what do you know!" The old Venerate Tier revealed a bit of pride, but after being struck a few times by Brother Monkey, he immediately shrunk back, "The Ziwei Imperial Clan has a Venerate Tier that is about to become a Saint, so you have to collect the power of belief to light up the holy flame!"

With these words, Ling Han finally understood.

The Venerate Tier was at the fourth pinnacle level, and four pinnacle pillars were propped up in his mind, connecting heaven and earth. And if he wanted to become a Saint, he would have to light up the holy flame on the pillars of the fourth pinnacle. This way, he would be able to illuminate the Regulations, and obtain them from all sources.

There were two ways to ignite the holy flame. The first was to use one's own flame of martial arts to ignite it, and the second was to gather power of belief, which could nurture it into being.

It was obvious that igniting the holy flame with one's own power was more powerful. This was completely without external help.

However, there would always be someone who was just that little bit away from being able to ignite the holy flame with their own power, so they could only depend on the power of belief.

In truth, those that could completely ignite the holy flame on their own, and through history, aside from the Great Emperors, there were only a few powerful Saints, such as the Nine Suns Saint.

Though the Imperial Clan had vast territories, and ruled over countless people, the Imperial Clan did not just have a single Saint. Every time they ascended to the next level, they would need a great amount of power of belief. Furthermore, something like faith could not be changed so easily. Today, I would believe this, and tomorrow, I would believe that.

This was called faith?

The power of belief was definitely pure and unadulterated.

Furthermore, after having boosted and ignited the holy flame once, this power of belief would be bound to this Saint, and could no longer be used by other Venerate Tiers or Saints.

Thus, in the territory of the Imperial Clan, the power of belief was more or less allocated, so they could only set their sights outside the territory.

—The Buddhist Race was promoting themselves everywhere, and in truth, it was also to collect the power of belief.

Of course, this was only a measly Moonlight Planet, and was still very far from the Ziwei Imperial Clan. They naturally wouldn't exert too much effort, and this was just right. They could rescue the old Venerate and let him recover the lost territory, providing power of belief for the Imperial Clan.

In any case, there was no need for the Imperial Clan to exert any effort. Furthermore, they had only helped the old Venerate suppress his injuries, and had not expended much.

"Y-you're not afraid of the Imperial Clan being infuriated?" The old Venerate Tier elite was both anxious and furious. He had clearly mentioned the Imperial Clan, so why hadn't Brother Monkey stopped? And Ling Han hadn't tried to persuade him in the slightest either?

"Why should I be afraid?" Ling Han asked with a smile.

This kind of rhetorical question made the old Venerate feel like he didn't know how to respond.

Are you both idiots?

That was the Imperial Clan, a clan that the whole world revered, so who would not be afraid?

Aren't you guys afraid of death?

However, it was as if Brother Monkey's violent attacks were emphasizing his fearlessness. One staff strike after another, aiming to beat him to death.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

The old Venerate Tier elite kept throwing up blood. To save his life, he was willing to combust his life force to forcefully increase his battle prowess. However, even so, he was still no match for Brother Monkey, and was beaten to a tragic state.

"The Ziwei Imperial Clan is about to arrive, and all of you will die!" The old Venerate Tier released a roar of defiance.

He had come back to take revenge. Now, he had already taken more than half of his revenge, but he was going to lose his life. This was something that he was unwilling to accept.

He didn't want to die!

"Tsk!" Brother Monkey roared loudly, and swept out with his staff. He had activated some of the might of the Saintly Material. Endless light flashed past, and the Regulations that filled the skies seemed to be responding.

Peng!

The old Venerate Tier elite couldn't block this strike at all, and he was smashed into pulp.
