Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao - Chapter 4554

Ling Han let out a battle cry, and attacked continuously.

Though he was indeed behind by "one star" in terms of Regulations, his physique was tough enough, and added with the high speed of Phoenix Wings Divine Flight, he was completely qualified to fight Tao Yu.

Power was not the only factor that determined battle prowess, nor was Regulations.

However, it could not be denied that Tao Yu had the advantage of "one star" in terms of Regulations, so he did indeed have the advantage on the field.

After all, he was the Three Star Venerate, Golden Generation.

He had finally restrained Ling Han. Furthermore, it seemed like Ling Han could no longer increase the number of Regulations he possessed. This caused the other Imperial Sons to heave a sigh of relief.

Alright, this freakish performance had finally come to an end.

However, a Three Star Venerate of the Golden Generation was actually unable to take down a Sect Master, even after a long time. With every move that the battle dragged out for, the Imperial Sons would lose a bit of face.

This was really a slap to the face.

To Ling Han, this was already a supreme honour. Being able to do this as a Sect Master, that was enough to be proud of.

However, with how competitive Ling Han was, how could he be satisfied with just this?

He wanted to win!

However, in terms of Regulations, he was indeed "one star" weaker, and his power was also suppressed. His only advantage was his speed, but if he wanted to defeat a Golden Generation with mere speed?

Ling Han was extremely calm. He was looking for a solution on his own.

The reason why he could stand against a Venerate Tier was because the Regulations he had grasped were intertwined with some kind of rhythm, and he had been studying the reason since he had exchanged blows with the little azure dragon.

Why was it that when Regulations intertwined, their might could increase so greatly?

Now that the battle was so arduous, Ling Han had also pushed himself to his limits. The circulation of his brain had increased tenfold, or even a hundredfold, compared to its normal state.

"The reason why the might of my Regulations can be so strong, and even be comparable to Seven Stars when ten Regulations intertwine together, is because the Regulations are stimulating each other, causing their might to increase greatly."

"Then, if I can further increase this kind of activation effect, would my battle prowess be able to increase further?"

Ling Han hadn't intertwined the Regulations on his own volition. Instead, he had naturally become like this after breaking through to Ten Stars.

Now, he began to make changes.

However, with this change, his battle prowess instantly dropped drastically.

Peng!

Tao Yu's attack sent Ling Han flying. The Regulations transformed into a sharp blade that ruthlessly slashed into his chest.

'Ow, ow, ow!'

Ling Han bared his teeth, and when he lowered his head to look, a deep wound had appeared on his chest. Even his bones had a shallow wound.

It could not be helped. He had made a mistake in "activation", and after slight adjustment, not only did the power of Regulations not improve, it had instead decreased considerably, causing him to be completely unable to block a single blow from Tao Yu, and his chest had almost been forcefully torn open.

No, he couldn't make such attempts blindly. The intertwining of Regulations was extremely complex. If he could casually try it out, what Sect Master or Venerate would not do the same?

He channelled the Ten Cultivation Technique to control his injuries and heal them. On the other side, he continued to maintain the intertwining of Regulations as he exchanged blows with Tao Yu.

However, in his mind, he was presently performing a high-speed deduction, analyzing the profound secrets of the present intertwining Regulations. Using this as a blueprint, he would activate it again.

It was impossible for others to try it out, because Regulations itself was changing, so there was no limit to the number of times they could try it out. It was impossible to complete it just by copying.

However, Ling Han was different, because he had grasped the method of interweaving Regulations, so he could completely study it.

This was his greatest advantage.

Perhaps, this was the only intertwining technique, and it was impossible to increase its might further, but if he did not give it a try, with Ling Han's personality, how could he give up?

The battle continued.

One day, two days, three days, and the two elites showed no signs of stopping the battle.

One did not want to lose, while the other was determined to win. Thus, the battle was naturally in a stalemate.

No one was impatient. Under normal circumstances, how could they have the chance to witness such a battle?

This was a Venerate Tier-level battle, and below Saint Tier, that was the strongest.

As long as one could fathom a sliver of the profound secrets, and gain the slightest bit of appreciation, that would be incredibly beneficial.

Even the Imperial Sons, Ding Shu and the others were observing Ling Han, investigating the secret of his intertwining Regulations.

—With their intelligence, how could it be that after such a long time, they still could not tell that the problem lay in Ling Han's interweaving Regulations?

However, merely interweaving Regulations could actually increase battle prowess to such a terrifying extent. Who wouldn't be tempted by this, wanting to investigate the profound secrets within, and turn it for their own use?

Thus, everyone hoped that the battle could continue until they could grasp the profound secrets.

Except for one person—Tao Yu.

As Ling Han's opponent, he naturally wanted to deal with Ling Han as soon as possible. The longer this dragged on, the more humiliated he would be — though it was already very embarrassing.

"Die!"

He deliberately slowed down the rhythm of the battle. This naturally was not going easy on him, but rather he was accumulating Regulations.

Boom!

He launched another attack, and twelve Regulations appeared at the same time.

Xiu, Ling Han channeled the Phoenix Wings Divine Flight and easily dodged this attack.

Trying to trick him? Hehe.

A light suddenly flashed in Ling Han's eyes.

He finally had appreciation.

'Come!'

He threw a punch, and it was still ninety streaks of Regulations, but there was a slight change in the order in which they intertwined.

Peng!

In an exchange of blows, Ling Han was still sent flying, but Tao Yu's expression changed drastically in shock.

That was because he had sensitively discovered that Ling Han's battle prowess had actually increased by a sliver.

Though it was only a sliver, they had already gone all out, and the might of his ultimate battle prowess had still been increased by a sliver. Just how difficult was that?

However, because the extent of this increase was really too small, only an opponent like Tao Yu discovered it. In the eyes of others, this scene was very normal. Hadn't Ling Han been sent flying again?

A smile appeared on Ling Han's face. His efforts had not been in vain.

Again!

The more Regulations there were, the more intertwining changes there would be. Thus, there was also more room for improvement in battle prowess.

Ling Han had already found some clues. He threw punch after punch, and his battle prowess was steadily increasing.

Half a day passed, and everyone shockingly discovered that in terms of Regulations, Ling Han was no longer inferior to Tao Yu.

Right now, the only advantage that Tao Yu had was his power.

However, from the True Self Tier onwards, the effects of power would gradually decrease. Unless one was overwhelmingly powerful, the effects on one's battle prowess would be very, very small.

Thus, this slight advantage was no longer enough for Tao Yu to gain the upper hand.

The two of them… fought to a tie.

Heavens!

Everyone stared at Ling Han as if they were looking at a monster. This was really… indescribable.

Ling Han threw a flurry of punches. He felt that he still had room for improvement. He still hadn't unleashed the full might of the interweaving Regulations.

'Come, let's battle again. This battle is a good opportunity to become my whetstone.'

After battling for another day, Ling Han's battle prowess had indeed increased another notch, and he now had an extremely slight advantage.

"Stop!" Imperial Son Ming spoke up, and moved directly, stopping the battle.

They couldn't continue fighting, or Ling Han would become stronger and stronger.

This was a freak, and could not be judged with common sense.
