ALCHEMY EMPEROR OF THE DIVINE DAO

Chapter 4569  Broken Planet

This was a dark world, just like the cold universe outside. It was empty.

But now, multiple Saints were exuding light, like torches in the darkness.

Ling Han saw a flame burning inside the Nine Mountains Saint's body.

That was the holy flame!

Strange, if it was in this place, the holy flame would actually appear automatically.

It could be seen that the color of the holy flame was different.

Some were purple, some were red, some were white, and their sizes were also different. Some were only the size of a fist, some were the size of a human head, and some were even like a furnace.

Strange, it was clearly inside the body, and the body was only normal in size, but the size of the holy flame far exceeded that.

"There are nine levels in Saint Tier, and the color of the holy flame corresponding to each minor level is different," the Nine Mountains Saint explained to Ling Han and the others. "For example, I'm only a One Star Saint, and the color of the holy flame is white."

"Further up, two stars would be red, three stars would be orange, four stars would be yellow, five stars would be green, six stars would be green, seven stars would be blue, eight stars would be purple, and nine stars would be black."

With these words, it was very easy to distinguish the cultivation level of the Saint.

Ling Han swept his gaze over the surroundings again, and discovered that the majority of the people here were Five Star Saints. There were more low-level Saints, and those above Five Stars were pitifully few.

The Saint with the highest cultivation level was an eight-star Saint. However, his entire body was enshrouded in black mist, and it was impossible to distinguish his appearance at all.

—If it was not for the fact that this place would automatically manifest the holy flame, it was probable that everyone would have overlooked him. How could they have possibly imagined that he was actually an eight-star Saint here!

In the first place, there were not many Saints in the world, and there were even pitifully few Eight Star Saints.

Everyone was guessing the origins of this person. Though cultivation level couldn't absolutely represent battle prowess, being able to cultivate to eight stars, how could he not be strong?

Moreover, he could already cultivate to Saint Tier, and mediocre people would have long since died off completely.

After advancing for a while, they saw that a floating continent had actually appeared ahead of them.

This continent had been forcefully dug out from a planet. It was flat on top, and protruding on the bottom. It itself was like a mountain that had been turned upside down.

Was this the Saint Tomb?

Ahead of them, a great number of Saints had already stopped, and landed on that continent.

The Nine Mountains Saint, Ling Han, and the others also descended. This was a desolate world. Although it was covered with forests, every single tree had already died, leaving behind only bare tree trunks.

The ground was also black, like black iron.

The Nine Mountains Saint set down the four of them. They all possessed battle prowess on the level of Venerate Tier, so they were completely capable of walking freely in this place.

This continent wasn't large, and they quickly circled around. However, they didn't discover anything.

This was an ordinary continent. There was no Celestial medicine, nor was there any Saintly corpse.

Saint Tomb?

Without a Saint's corpse, how could this be called Saint Tomb?

When they reached the end of the continent, they saw that a great many Saints had already set out with their juniors, continuing onwards.

The Nine Mountains Saint also set off with Ling Han and the others, heading towards their next destination.

Another half a day passed, and another floating continent appeared ahead of them.

After searching for a while, they found nothing.

However, this continent was slightly larger than the previous one.

Upon a closer look, everyone was stunned.

Next, they saw a great many floating continents, scattered here and there in this pitch-black space. There was nothing on them, but their size was getting larger and larger.

Finally, after travelling for another three days, they saw a massive planet.

Upon a closer look, everyone was stunned.

That was because this planet had actually been destroyed, leaving behind only a core.

Gasp! Had the floating continents all originated from this planet?

Everyone tried to reconstruct this planet in their minds, and couldn't help but hiss sharply.

It was huge, astonishingly huge.

When this planet was in its complete form, its size was incredibly shocking. At present, there was not a single planet in the universe that could compare to it.

Going by that theory, this was the heart of this place, and also the end?

The Saints all descended, arriving at the core of this planet.

In truth, though this was the inner core of a planet, it was still astonishingly huge. It was not inferior to any great planet of today.

"Yi?"

As soon as they landed, the Saints all exclaimed in shock. That was because in this place, their holy flames were suddenly suppressed, and their abilities were greatly restricted.

Of course, no matter how restricted they were, their strength was still far superior to the Venerate Tier. However, if the gap in strength between a One Star Saint and a Three Star Saint had been ten times, it had now shrunk to three times, or even smaller.

In this way, the Saints with lower cultivation levels were much more relaxed, because even if they encountered a Nine-Star Saint, they would not be overwhelmed. Though they were still outmatched, they had gained quite a bit of initiative.

They began a search, looking for any clues.

After circling around, this planet was still very empty. However, in the extreme south, there was a massive cave.

Was this the key to this place?

Without much hesitation, the Saints all entered.

After walking for another half a day, a fork in the path appeared in the cave.

Ling Han and the others tried to take the left tunnel, but before they could enter, they immediately felt a terrifying pressure assault them, forcing them to hurriedly retreat.

If they were to face this head-on, they would definitely be crushed into dust.

Only the Nine Mountains Saint could enter.

This was saintly might.

Trying out the other path, though the pressure was not small either, a Venerate was completely capable of coming and going as he pleased.

"Old man, the true Saint Tomb should be on this path on the left," Ling Han said. "Then, we'll go our separate ways here."

The Nine Mountains Saint thought for a moment, then nodded.

Now that they were here, it was impossible for the younger generation to take the left path. They could only choose the right path. Then, with the strength of Ling Han and the others, they would not be afraid of anyone.

And would a Saint walk the path on the right?

Saints weren't babysitters, so they definitely had to search for their own opportunities. Thus, how could they leave the holy flame alone and not search for it, but choose to stand guard over their juniors?

There was no Emperor in the world, and Saints were the strongest. What kind of status did they have?

Even if 100 juniors all advanced one step further, none of these improvements were as significant as raising the Saint's cultivation level by one star or increasing his lifespan by a few hundred years.

Thus, Ling Han and the others should also be facing a competition of peers, and even if they encountered a nine-star Venerate, what need was there for Ling Han and the others to be afraid?

The Nine Mountains Saint set off without worry, while Ling Han and the others entered the other path.

After walking for a long time, the path ahead suddenly opened up, and an extremely long canyon appeared.

At the entrance to the canyon, there was a large number of young people standing. They did not rashly enter into the canyon.

This was the Saint Tomb. Even if there was no pressure from a Saint here, how could they act rashly?

Right now, many people were trying to form good relations with each other. Since they couldn't rely on the Saint from their respective forces anymore, and since they weren't powerful enough, they could only rely on each other. Although this would decrease their profits, it was still better than having no profits at all. In fact, it would be better than losing their lives, right?

Thus, small teams quickly formed one after another.

"The four of you, go, scout ahead!"

Just as Ling Han and the others were observing the situation, someone suddenly shouted at them.
