Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 719: Chapter 296: Breaking the Formation, Repelling the Enemy, Where Came the Saying of a Dangerous Wall?_1

Amid the eruption of formidable Spirit Qi, the Copper Wall Iron Barrier Array, having been continuously attacked for several days, melted like iron, transforming into streams of liquid that flowed down like molten gold under the watchful eyes of thousands.

The Array… shattered!

Inside the Gorge Great Hall.

A look of despair emerged in the eyes of the Great Elder of the Divine Craft Clan.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators assisting him exploded and died simultaneously.

Having manipulated the Array for days, they had already linked their existence with the Array.

Now that the Array has broken, they perished as well.

“It’s my turn.”

The Great Elder of the Divine Craft Clan let out a tragic laugh, his gaze falling onto a familiar face that appeared at the door.

“Master, farewell…”

The last ‘farewell’ was left unsaid.

A terrorizing backlash swept through his body instantly.

Boom!

A mist of blood splattered across the grand hall.

Fei Changqiu’s pupils dilated in shock as the Spirit Power throughout his body surged violently.

He reached out his hand and a huge furnace materialized in front of him.

Holding the furnace with one hand, he soared into the sky.

“Luo Chen, accept your death!”

…

“How dare you?”

“Audacious!”

“Inappropriate!”

Faced with Luo Chen’s abrupt action, Zuo Song and the rest were caught off guard.

As the hundred-feet-long, lifelike Flame Dragon breached the Copper Wall Iron Barrier, Zuo Song and Ling Yuzhi cried out in anger.

However, Luo Chen responded with indifference.

The Array behind him suddenly changed direction, scary amounts of Spirit Qi began to gather continuously.

“My friends, this Array… has a ninth level.”

“Watch your steps!”

Min Longyu’s voice echoed out, resounding across the field like the tolling of a massive bell.

As he spoke, the terrifying Spirit Qi fluctuation had already vaguely touched the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment.

The momentum was incomparably horrifying!

Zuo Song and Luo Feng’s faces changed almost simultaneously.

Ling Yuzhi lost colour, her face turned pale.

At this moment, within the grand canyon, Fei Changqiu’s angry voice exploded.

“Luo Chen, prepare to die!”

Luo Chen suddenly turned to look.

Ten miles away, Fei Changqiu was coming towards him, an enormous furnace held in his hand, his advance unstoppable.

Luo Chen grinned ferociously.

“Excellent!”

Ignoring the three people behind him, he spread his wide sleeves and flew towards Fei Changqiu.

As he passed by the Flame Dragon Nine Turns Array, he reached out his hand.

As if, pulling something out.

The next moment, the Xuanhuo Sword let out a cry and transformed into a sky-bound streak of flaming meteor, closely following him.

The piercing sound of explosion rumbled continually.

The air itself seemed to be extraordinarily distorted, as if it was going to be burnt into ashes by this flaming meteor.

“Go!”

Luo Chen pointed forward, the flaming meteor instantly crossed the distance and rushed to the front.

Whoosh!

Fei Changqiu hurled the Positive Sun Furnace, the magnificent Spirit Qi fluctuation surged forward.

In this attack, he held nothing back!

With the strength of the Fourth Level of Foundation Establishment, he promoted the power of the Positive Sun Furnace to his current limit.

He didn’t aim to slay Luo Chen.

He only hoped to catch Luo Chen off guard, and both of them would end up injured.

Once that scenario occurred, the three people he invited would definitely be unable to sit still.

Only then would he have a chance to fight his way out of death.

Just when the flaming meteor was about to collide with the furnace, the meteor, in an eerie and nimble manner, swerved around the Positive Sun Furnace magic item.

Under Fei Changqiu’s astonished gaze, it plunged into his chest.

The less restraint, the more exploitable the flaws!

Both at the Fourth Level of Foundation Establishment, he hadn’t fought for a long time due to years of peaceful circumstances.

On the contrary, Luo Chen had risen from large and small battles.

What’s more!

The refinement of his current Xuanhuo Sword had changed dramatically from before!

The violent Fire Spirit Energy gushed out, crazily destroying his body.

He stared ahead unwillingly.

“He must be injured, right?”

Under his gaze.

Luo Chen and Wang Yuan teamed up and used their strong bodies and ample cultivation to barely endure his suicidal attack.

Behind them, Zuo Song and the other two watched expressionlessly as if indifferent.

“You…”

Boom!

The flaming meteor was inserted on the plaque of the grand hall, revealing a long sword body and Fei Changqiu, who had been pierced through the chest, his stare not yielding even in death.

Luo Chen grunted, throwing the Positive Sun Furnace magic item heavily onto the ground.

Wang Yuan looked at him with concern.

That blow they just experienced was taken by both of them.

However, he knew how to discharge force, Luo Chen didn’t.

“Are you alright?”

Luo Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in his chest, then waved his hand.

“From now on, all matters relating to the Divine Craft Clan will be handled by you alone!”

After saying this, without waiting for Wang Yuan’s response, he headed straight towards Zuo Song and the others.

As he flew, the Xuanhuo Sword followed him like a swallow returning to its nest.

Such a nimble maneuver with a magic item could strike terror into Zuo Song’s heart.

“How can this be!”

“He’s merely in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, yet he can manipulate his magic item so skillfully. What degree of refinement has he attained?”

He wasn’t the only one having these thoughts.

Luo Feng also appeared heavy-hearted at that moment.

Accompanied by Luo Chen’s steady approach, Ling Yuzhi’s face turned paler, involuntarily stepping back.

When Luo Chen once again confronted the three of them, their circumstances differed drastically from before!

The person they made the deal with… was dead.

“You three, please leave!”

Luo Chen said in a deep voice, appearing calm and steady, as if he just killed a small insect casually, not Fei Changqiu with a single sword.

Luo Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded to him and left without another word.

Ling Yuzhi gave Luo Chen a resentful glance before reluctantly departing.

“Indeed, a worthy title of the Fire Spirit Lord!”

Zuo Song burst into hearty laughter, “Such a thunderous tactic truly amazes me.”

Luo Chen smirked, “It is nothing compared to your exquisite Sword Control using Qi, Friend Zuo”.

“Oh, not at all.” Zuo Song shrugged, “Sword Control with Qi is a skill all cultivators possess. I’ve just delved a bit deeper into it, that’s it.”

Luo Chen did not answer, simply looking at him.

Zuo Song glanced at the still primed Array down below, eventually taking a deep sigh.

“Enough, enough!”

Before leaving, he just couldn’t hold himself back.

“Fire Spirit Lord, about that mineral…”

“Let’s discuss it once I’ve taken care of all the matters!”

Don’t bite the hand that feeds. Luo Chen still understood this principle.

Although the latter did once attempt to put him in a deadly situation, it was on the premise that Fei Changqiu had promised him great profit.

Times change!

Given the chance, Luo Chen would, of course, not let him off easily.

But for now, it’s better not to be confrontational.

After all, the other party was a Great Cultivator of the Late Stage Foundation Establishment!

Zuo Song thought for a moment, profoundly looked in the direction of the Divine Craft Clan, and eventually left.

Luo Chen was floating in mid-air, observing the three leave until they were hundreds of miles away.

Only then, did the tension in his heart completely ease.

“Min Longyu, withdraw!”

No sooner had he spoken, then the fiery Array that had originally covered the ground, suddenly dissipated, like the melting of ice and snow.

A scene of devastation greeted his eyes!

Hundreds of Array Flags had spontaneously ignited without wind, turning into ashes.

The over a hundred Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators that Luo Chen had brought with him seemed to have lost support, and each one collapsed haphazardly on the ground.

The previous five hundred Medium Grade Spirit Stones had already been reduced to dust.

The subsequent three hundred Medium Grade Spirit Stones that Luo Chen had added were also depleted of Spirit Power, almost entirely gone.

To sustain this Array during the battle, eight hundred Medium Grade Spirit Stones are consumed, which is equivalent to over eighty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones!

And that’s not even considering other losses.

Wars were always fought over resources.

Whereas in the center of this Array,

Min Longyu was holding the Traveling Eighteen Array Disks with an extremely pale complexion.

His whole body was covered in sweat; he looked as though he had just been fished out of a pool.

Seeing this, Luo Chen said, “You’ve worked hard.”

Min Longyu squeezed a smile, “Hardly tiring, I was just too ambitious attempting to control the Flame Dragon Nine Turns Array in my Early Stage Foundation Establishment. I didn’t anticipate it would be so difficult.”

“You’ve done very well,” Luo Chen comforted him.

Indeed!

In this battle, Min Longyu made great contributions and did an impeccable job.

He not only broke the Copper Wall Iron Barrier Array, but also, with the resulting momentum, pretended to trigger the ninth turn, temporarily intimidating the two Late Stage Foundation Establishments.

“President, what shall we do now?”

“Don’t worry, you don’t need to concern yourself with that, someone will take care of it.”

Luo Chen did not bother to see Wang Yuan’s actions.

Instead, he looked into the distance, where an Ascendant Grade Flying Boat was rapidly approaching.

Above the Flying Boat, a beautiful figure anxiously gazed in this direction.

In no time, the Flying Boat was about to arrive.

Before the Flying Boat could stabilize, the figure flew towards Luo Chen.

“President, I’m late!”

Despite her anxious demeanor, Luo Chen saluted with his hands clasped, offering a remote bow.

“Congratulations Friend Sima on a successful Foundation Establishment. I look forward to walking The Great Dao Path together!”

Sima Huiniang stood still, the Spirit Power fluctuations from her newly formed Foundation Establishment were unmistakably clear.

Then, she revealed a smile.

“Congratulations to Friend Luo for defeating the Divine Craft Clan, making Luo Tian Creed, famous all over Tianlan!”

“Haha!”

The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other without words.

…

The task of cleaning the battlefield and carrying away the war spoils lasted for a whole day and night.

The disciples of the Divine Craft Clan aren’t mistreated by Luo Tian Creed, after a brief search, they were allowed to leave freely.

Their top officials were all annihilated.

The remaining people are mostly Early and Middle Stage Qi Refinement Practitioners.

Even if there are a few Late Stage Qi Refinement cultivators, they’re not worth worrying about.

Sometimes, it’s not suitable to completely annihilate everyone.

The reason why Luo Tian Creed acted so unscrupulously and destroyed multiple clans in such a short period of time.

First, they had just cause.

Second, they had the support of the huge Ice Castle.

If they go too far, even with proper justification, they will invite criticism.

On the contrary, if they leave a bit of room for Lower Order Cultivators while seeking revenge, they won’t give people too much to talk about.

Min Longyu and the hundred Late-stage Qi refinement cultivators were already taken back to Danxia Peak by Wang Yuan on the first day.

The remaining ones are Luo Chen and Sima Huiniang, the two leaders of Luo Tian Creed.

On Langqi Flying Boat.

Luo Chen is playing with a crystal-clear mineral stone, his face shows an expression of surprise.

If he was not seeing wrong, this should be a piece of Tongxuan Sky Crystal!

This item is not high-grade.

It’s just Fourth Stage!

Okay, that’s already very high!

But the mystery of this item lies in the word “Tongxuan”.

According to the information Luo Chen learned from a classic, this is one of the most suitable materials for Tool Casting.

The characteristic of “Tongxuan” can interconnect different attributes of different materials together.

Just this one point is enough to make most Tool Casting Crafters ecstatic.

Not only that, Tongxuan Sky Crystal even has a bit of growth potential.

If this is used as the main material to cast a Natal Magic Item, it can even enhance the upper limit of the magic item!

Besides, as a Fourth Stage material, Tongxuan Sky Crystal has many other uses.

Like channel Qi, melting, contain spirits, purify, etc.

Quenching tool, what and how it will be used, depends on the discretion of the Tool Caster.

“No wonder that Zuo Song is so eager for this item.”

“He specializes in sword control, but a Magical Item Flying Sword is not something a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can perfectly control. If this item is added, perhaps the upper limit of the magical item’s power can be increased by one or two percent.”

“But for me, I currently don’t need this.”

After pondering a bit, Luo Chen put away the Tongxuan Sky Crystal into the storage bag with great care.

The most significant value of this item is not to enhance the power of a magical tool.

That’s too shortsighted.

The most suitable use for it is as the main material for a Natal Magic Item.

While Luo Chen was pondering, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Sima Huiniang then walked in.

She looked at Luo Chen helplessly and said,

“Chairman, aren’t you taking too much risk! A gentleman doesn’t stand under a collapsing wall, how can you take two Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators lightly!”

Facing this “complaint”.

Luo Chen just laughed.

“Where is there a wall about to collapse?”
