Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4182: Returning to the Netherworld

Editor: Henyee Translations

Yin soul was not strong.

Even if they were at the True Self Tier, without martial arts techniques, they couldn’t draw on heaven and earth’s Regulations. They could be wounded by high-level energy. They had too many weaknesses.

However, there was probably no one else that could deal with it as easily as Ling Han.

“Going by that theory, this is Netherworld?” Lin Luo walked over. He had naturally heard Ling Han’s words just now.

Ling Han nodded and said, “This is a connection point with the Netherworld. It was sealed by the Holy Emperor using a powerful technique, but after such a long time, this seal has loosened. Going by the looks of it, it won’t be long before the seal loses its effects completely. At that time, a large number of Yin souls will penetrate deeply, and it will be inevitable that a great battle will break out.”

Everyone was solemn. They had just entered into this space, and had already encountered a True Self Tier Yin soul. Then, there would be no need for other Spirit Transformation Tier Yin souls to appear. As long as there were more True Self Tier Yin souls, they would have a hard time.

“This place is really dangerous,” Lin Luo exclaimed, but an expectant expression appeared on his face.

He had once been the strongest Heavenly Venerable Tier elite in the Genesis World. Faced with danger, he could only muster up the strength and confidence to challenge them.

“Let go, this belongs to Grandpa Dog!”

“No, it belongs to Grandpa Dragon!”

On the sidelines, the large black dog and little azure dragon were already fighting. They both wanted to snatch that peculiar flower.

Ling Han sighed. How could it be that these two guys did not have the slightest bit of awareness?

He moved, suppressing both dog and dragon, and then went to study that peculiar flower.

“I don’t know how to describe this Celestial medicine either,” Ling Han said. “This isn’t a physical body, and it’s actually just a ball of energy. It’s nourishing to the soul.”

“No wonder that Yin soul would set up an ambush here. It has probably been nurtured by this Celestial medicine for a long time, and that is why it has slowly developed intelligence,” Lin Luo said from the sidelines.

Ling Han nodded, and said, “That Yin soul seemed to realize that being slowly nurtured by the Celestial Flower, its effects are better than directly consuming it. It only charged out when we were about to harvest it. From this, it can be seen that the intelligence of this Yin soul is already quite shocking.”

“Hiss, if there are many such Celestial Flowers here, then wouldn’t there be countless Yin souls that have gained intelligence?” The large black dog approached and said.

Ling Han pondered for a moment, then said, “Aside from Celestial medicines, Yin souls can also devour each other, strengthening their abilities and developing intelligence. Thus, there should be no shortage of powerful Yin souls here.”

He had entered the Netherworld with his soul before, but the most powerful Yin soul there was only Sect Master Tier-level. Furthermore, it was possible that even more powerful Yin souls were deliberately “rearing” it, nurturing it until Venerate Tier-level before eating it.

It was unknown what level the strongest Yin soul in this area was. If a Venerate Tier elite appeared… then even if the Yin soul wasn’t strong, it could still easily crush its opponents with its cultivation level.

“We have to be careful.”

“M-hm.”

When it came to a matter of life and death, even the large black dog and the little azure dragon didn’t dare to be careless. They nodded one after another, their expressions serious.

“Then, what about this flower?” the large black dog asked, licking his lips.

Ling Han thought for a moment, then said, “The strength of my soul has already reached the level of Spirit Transformation Tier. This Celestial Flower doesn’t have much effect on me, so I won’t participate in the distribution. However, I think there should be no shortage of such Celestial medicines here, so why don’t we take turns?”

“Then Grandpa Dog will be the first.”

“No, Grandpa Dragon is the first!”

The two troublemakers began to fight again.

Ling Han sighed, and said, “You guys just do rock-paper-scissors.”

“Okay, okay!” Hu Niu’s interest was instantly piqued.

They played rock-paper-scissors, and Hu Niu easily won first place.

Was this the True Dragon of Fortune showing its might?

Hu Niu plucked the Celestial Flower, but there was no need for her to consume it at all. This Celestial Flower directly fused into the palm of her hand, and her spirit immediately improved greatly. In fact, she could even see it clearly from the outside. It was like a furnace, soaring straight into the heavens.

“Niu, hurry up and suppress it,” Ling Han hurriedly said.

Hu Niu nodded, and used her mystical power to wrap around it tightly, not allowing the soul light to rush out of her body.

Otherwise, the souls of living people were greatly nutritious for Yin souls. Yin souls in the distance would immediately swarm over like sharks that had smelt blood.

They had to be careful here, but they couldn’t do nothing. Moreover, there was obviously a great opportunity here. If they didn’t hurry, it would be snatched by others.

After walking for a while, as expected, they discovered another spirit-type Celestial medicine.

Three, four, five. There were really quite a lot of spirit-type Celestial medicines here, but some were True Self Tier-level, some were Cauldron Forging Tier-level, but none were Spirit Transformation Tier-level.

Aside from that, they also discovered even more corpses of Saints. They were burning fiercely, and they could chase away the cold just by being close.

In these two days, they had gathered over a hundred Celestial medicines, but not a single one was suitable for Ling Han.

Another day later, the situation finally changed.

Ling Han saw a familiar scene again. Countless Yin souls formed a long queue, and were presently advancing in the same direction. The end could not be seen with a single glance, and the length of the queue was astonishingly long.

“This is a good chance!” Lin Luo and the others were all rubbing their hands in anticipation.

They had all heard Ling Han say that killing Yin souls in the Netherworld could strengthen one’s soul.Yin and Yang could complement each other.

The Yin souls here were not strong, and were just right for sweeping through.

Xiu, xiu, xiu! They charged out, and channelled high-level energy one after another, beginning the massacre.

Yin soul didn’t have a physical body, so mystical power attacks were ineffective. Only high-level energy could cause damage to it.

However, after a period of slaughter, Lin Luo and the others all retreated, shaking their heads.

Their souls had not strengthened.

Yi, why not?

“Could it be because I entered this place as a soul the last time?” Ling Han asked.

“That might have been blocked by our physical bodies,” Lin Luo said. “Try again. The moment you kill one, release your physical body.”

They tried again, and this time, they succeeded.

“However, the physical body would also block a considerable amount of Yin soul energy,” they all said.

Ling Han smiled, and said, “You guys don’t have to worry about the conversion rate at all. There are too many Yin souls here, and they can easily send the strength of your souls to the True Self Tier, but after this, how to kill Yin souls of the True Self Tier is the real difficulty.”

They didn’t have the Destructive Energy, so it was too difficult for them to battle above their cultivation level.

“Furthermore, there are Ghost Spirit Crystals here that can increase the strength of the soul. This would be even more helpful in increasing the strength of the soul.”

“All right, let’s go find a mine!” the large black dog said.

Ling Han pondered for a moment. The situation here was more or less the same as last time. The only thing that could not be confirmed was what level of Yin soul elite possessed this territory. The stronger the boss was, the stronger the generals under his command would naturally be.

In his soul form, Ling Han was no longer restrained. Relying on the freakish intimidation of the Destructive Energy, he could just barely put up a fight against a Spirit Transformation Tier Yin soul.

However, he couldn’t do that now. His soul was restrained by his physical body. His strength had clearly increased, but his ability to suppress Yin souls had instead decreased.

He explained his concerns, and everyone fell silent.

“It’s not that there’s no way,” the little azure dragon said. “We can’t resist the cold here now, not because Body Art can’t, but because we haven’t crossed the threshold of True Self Tier yet.”

“For mystical power cultivators, the True Self Tier is a barrier, but for Body Arts, isn’t it the same?”
