Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao - Chapter 999
Chapter 999: Tyrant Axe Harbor
The Cloud Piercing Shuttle raced toward the west.
Ling Han and Shui Yanyu were alone in the shuttle, and they also had especially strong feelings for each other. Thus, it was unavoidable that they were lovey-dovey and hands-on with each other. However, they both had strong self-restraint, and didn’t cross that last barrier.
Even with a Flight God Tool, it still took them nine days to arrive at the Star Sea.
The Star Sea was a vast inland sea, and it was rumored that it was formed by a star that had crashed down from the sky a long, long time ago.
Some people speculated that it was a shard from a star that had been shattered. As a result, people would occasionally see structures that were full of foreign flavors resting on the seabed. However, none of these structures were in good condition. How could they be in good condition under the tremendous force of a crashing star?
At any rate, it was a shard from a continent, so it scattered a large amount of Godly metal throughout the Star Sea. Moreover, the level of the Godly metal was relatively high, causing many people to come here and search for it. They would strike it rich if they could find a piece of high-level Godly metal.
If they could find a high-level God Tool, then they would obtain an even more astonishing wealth.
In fact, there were also lost cultivation techniques and spirit medicine among other things scattered throughout the Star Sea. It was rumored that someone had even found a powerful high-level puppet here before.
To put it simply, this vast expanse of sea was a treasure trove!
It was precisely because of this that pirates started to gather here. Their aim was to plunder those who came here to test their luck!
Ling Han stopped the shuttle when they arrived at the seashore.
This stretch of sea was especially uncanny, and it produced an extremely powerful gravitational force that would greatly limit the ability of Flight God Tools and cause them to sink toward the bottom. It was as though the continent remnant still possessed a tremendously powerful gravitational field.
In fact, even normal ships were unable to sail here, as they would face the risk of drowning at any moment.
If one wanted to sail across this sea, they had to construct their ship from the bones and skin of the Demonic Beasts that lived here. Only by doing so would their ship possess a buoyancy that could counter the gravitational pull. The reason for this was because the physiques of the Demonic Beasts had transformed to adapt to this sea after having lived here for countless years.
The pirates that Ling Han and Shui Yanyu had to exterminate where naturally located in this sea. However, they had no idea which island the pirates were based at.
This group of pirates was especially careful, and they had never revealed the location of their base to anyone. As a result, trying to annihilate them became extremely difficult.
Fortunately, Ling Han and Shui Yanyu didn’t need to track down the pirate base and annihilate it by themselves. Instead, their plan was very simple. They would join a fleet and wait for the pirates to attack. Then, they would seize the opportunity to kill some pirates.
Anyhow, their mission was simply to exterminate a few pirates, so they would have completed their mission after they reached a specified target.
“We can also try our fortune while we’re at it,” Shui Yanyu said. “People have found Level Ten Godly metal here before!”
Shui Yanyu had already introduced the Star Sea to Ling Han while they were traveling here. Ling Han immediately nodded, and said, “My luck has always been good.”
He wasn’t kidding. He had come here by splitting open the skies, so he had received the luck of heaven and earth as a blessing. Thus, his luck was indeed better than others’.
Luck was not something to belittle. Back in the Lower Realm, Xuanyuan Zi Guang was someone who had possessed freakish luck. He could trip over Spirit Tools as he walked, and he could also obtain supreme inheritances when he jumped off cliffs.
Ling Han’s luck wasn’t as freakish as Xuanyuan Zi Guang’s, but he was definitely still someone who was enveloped in the glow of luck.
Shui Yanyu nodded in agreement. She was relatively knowledgeable regarding small worlds, and she knew that those who split open the skies would receive rich blessings from heaven and earth. These blessings included raising one’s power, tempering one’s physique, and perfusing one with luck.
“Then you can be the leader for this trip,” she said.
Ling Han smiled as he stowed the Cloud Piercing Shuttle away, and teased, “Don’t you know that the husband’s duty is to guide the wife? It’s only natural that you listen to me.”
“Damn pervert!” Shui Yanyu humphed softly.
“Do you think it’s a fresh term just because you added a ‘damn’ in front of it?” Ling Han said with a smile.
“Let’s go!” Shui Yanyu started to head off.
Their target was Tyrant Axe Harbor, where ships would set sail at fixed intervals. Of course, one would have to pay a reasonable sum of money to board these ships. After all, the ships that could sail out to Star Sea were exclusively owned by the force behind this harbor.
The harbor wasn’t far, and the two of them arrived there in no time.
It was a very important supply station as many people headed out to sea from this harbor. As a result, a small town was also developed next to this harbor. This town had inns, brothels, and casinos, and one could enjoy themselves as much as they did in the Imperial Capital and other large cities.
However, a town was a town, after all, and this place measured no more than five kilometers in both length and width. Three sides of the town were surrounded by a tall wall that was engraved with extremely powerful defensive divine patterns. Meanwhile, the fourth side faced the sea, and from here, one could see the 10 or so ships of varying size that were currently docking in the harbor.
A flag that had an image of a bloody axe was hoisted high above the center of the town. This was the symbol of this place.
Ling Han and Shui Yanyu were instantly stopped at the entrance of the town.
“Each person has to pay one True Origin Stone.” Five people stood before them with their arms crossed in front of their chests. They glanced over Ling Han and Shui Yanyu, and in the end, all of their eyes stopped on Shui Yanyu. They looked her up and down, and truly wished that their gazes were hands that could strip her naked.
Ling Han stepped sideways and blocked Shui Yanyu behind him. “I’ve never heard about having to pay a fee to enter Tyrant Axe Harbor.”
“Well, now you’ve heard of it,” a robust white-clothed man said.
“However, if the beauty behind you kisses each of us once, we can let you two through with only one True Origin Stone,” another sturdy man said with a chuckle. His face was filled with lust and debauchery.
“Hehe, if you blow me, I’m even willing to pay you one True Origin Stone instead!”
“Hahahaha!” The five people started to roar with laughter.
Although there were powerful and domineering descendants like Zhao Lun, Sha Yuan, and Luo Ba in the Imperial Capital, they lived under the feet of the empress, after all, so they were only rich playboys at most.
Here, however, the powerful oppressed the weak, and the ugliness of human nature was magnified to its extreme.
Power was the language of the cultivation world, and power was what earned respect.
“This girl is so deliciously beautiful. Who would’ve thought that such a beauty would appear in this kind of rural place? Girl, give me a smile!” One of the men couldn’t contain himself, and he raised his arm to push Ling Han aside as he teased Shui Yanyu.
A dark shadow fell across Ling Han’s face. “Give me a smile” was his line, okay? Wasn’t his class being dragged down now that a rural ruffian was using his lines?
He raised his hand and grabbed the study man’s wrist. “What balls! You even dare to target my wife?!”
“F*ck! You dare to resist?” The sturdy man faltered momentarily before violently trying to pull his hand away. However, he found that his wrist was trapped in a vice-like grip that he couldn’t break free from no matter what. Anger instantly bubbled up inside him, and he viciously swung his other arm toward Ling Han.
“Humph!” Ling Han shook his hand.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
There was a sound of bones shattering, and the sturdy man’s arm instantly became as limp as a noodle. All of the bones in his arm had been pulverized.
The study man was dazed for a second before finally coming to his sense and letting out a wretched scream. “Ahhh…!”
“What balls! You actually dared to hurt someone from the Black Five Gang?!” The other four sturdy men flared up in rage as they drew their weapons and surrounded Ling Han and Shui Yanyu.
