Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 927: Chapter 378: Thunder Prison Array, Suppressing Wang Yuan_2

But in the time it took an incense stick to burn, Luo Chen opened his eyes contentedly.

Of course, such a short period naturally did not allow him to completely assimilate the enormous medicinal power of the Ascendant Grade Rising Dragon Pill, but he had managed to absorb it by and large.

As he began the Orifice Unblocking, his body became increasingly formidable.

He could now refine two Ascendant Grade pills per day, effectively increasing his cultivation speed.

Such news, if it were to get out, would surely astonish everyone to the point of dropping their jaws.

An Ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivator would need a day or two to refine a Second Order Lower Grade pill, let alone an Ascendant Grade one, which would take three to five days!

Considering the aftermath of Pill Poison, there would also need to be sufficient time allocated to slowly expel the toxins.

But for Luo Chen, such issues hardly amounted to anything significant.

He was a Pill Refiner, possessing the deepest understanding of how to quickly absorb the Spirit Power contained within pills.

Moreover, with the “Cleanse Origin Pill Formula”, the threat of lingering pill poison had been entirely eliminated.

“No wonder Qingdan Valley has the highest number of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, once dominating the Yu Ding Realm. It’s not to say that everyone is like me, but with at least sixty to seventy percent of my proficiency, they could certainly amass a large number of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators!”

With a sigh, a thought suddenly struck Luo Chen’s mind.

He reached towards his waist, and a Jade Jue appeared before him.

Spirit Light flickered on it!

What this meant, Luo Chen couldn’t be clearer!

“It’s nearby!”

With a glint in his eyes, Luo Chen withdrew the Cloud Mist Illusion Array and leaped deeper into the Ninth Mountain.

…

Within a valley.

Two figures stood opposite each other, each occupying a different position.

Their gazes flickered, firmly fixed on the valley below.

There, lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if a storm was brewing.

But on closer observation, it wasn’t a storm but a temporarily constructed Second Order Array!

Inside it, there were two more figures.

One sat cross-legged, incessantly waving a small flag, seemingly in charge of the Array.

The other moved swiftly, continuously striking at the Array, occasionally unleashing a palm strike that sent powerful Qi Strength reverberating through the Array.

Occasionally, thunderbolts would fall, but they were all washed away by the massive surge of bloody Qi surrounding him.

From the looks of it, the Array seemed incapable of confining him!

Dried Toad’s complexion darkened.

“This man’s proficiency in Body Refinement is truly terrifying!”

“When I first saw him, he was only at the Completion Stage of Hidden Power, but after several months of pursuit and battle, he has mastered Transformative Power. Even the Thunder Prison Array of Fellow Daoist Yang is unable to suppress him!”

He could see it all very clearly.

The chains of thunder extending from the Array aiming to bind Wang Yuan were each time effortlessly dissolved by the bloody Qi flow swirling around him.

Even though he had been tricked into the Array, in the short term, they were helpless against him.

In fact, the opponent was continuously trying to break through the Array.

The Transformative Power level within the Second Realm of Body Refinement could be comparable to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining and Foundation Building Realm!

Particularly since the opponent was also versed in Magic and Body Double Cultivation!

Suddenly!

Within the Array, Yang Wei’s anxious voice sounded.

“This man is not a witless brute; he seems to understand the principles of the Array and is heading straight for the Array Eye.”

“Dried Toad, Yan Leizi, the two of you, hurry into the Array to assist me!”

Almost as soon as he finished speaking.

Within the Array.

There came a low roar like the bellowing of a bull or the roar of a tiger.

Wang Yuan’s figure began to grow rapidly.

Initially no more than seven feet tall, in the blink of an eye, he had grown to ten feet, then twenty feet.

In just two breaths, his entire being soared to a height of thirty feet!

The horrifying bloody Qi flow swirled around him.

His muscles, hard as rock, revealed a bronze luster.

Vicious veins coiled around his body like dragons, knotted upon his physique.

With each inhalation and exhalation, he whipped up howling winds.

His huge, millstone-sized palms swung down, tearing apart swathes of the lightning chains generated by the Array.

As his body grew larger, he took strides towards the cross-legged Yang Wei suspended in the void.

Boom, boom, boom…

The Array, became unstable!

Dried Toad’s face drastically changed.

Opposite him, a young man clad in a black and red robe, his eyes shining, said excitedly,

“Let me handle him!”

“Yan Leizi, my friend, wait!” Dried Toad quickly interjected.

Yan Leizi looked at him, puzzled.

Dried Toad took a deep breath and pointed to the sky.

Yan Leizi suddenly realized.

“Alright, go ahead. If a small thunderstorm develops, I will neutralize it for you. But are you sure you can handle him?”

The dried toad’s face revealed a ferocious expression.

“I am at the Seventh Level Foundation Establishment, plus my friend Yang Wei who is also at the Seventh Level Foundation Establishment is assisting me, and there’s this Thunder Prison Array constructed in combination with the terrain of Trapped Sky Valley.”

“If we can’t kill him with all this, then what revenge can I speak of?”

Yan Leizi raised an eyebrow but said no more.

The dried toad took a deep breath, his Spirit Power surging throughout his body.

A Jade Ruler appeared in his hand.

Then, with a leap, he entered the Big Formation.

Before long,

Sounds of roaring wind and thunder came from within the Big Formation.

The Jade Ruler, flashing with the light of white jade, kept growing in size until it was dozens of feet large, like a giant door panel, continuously slapping towards Wang Yuan, who also had a huge physique.

Yan Leizi looked at this scene with his spirits lifted.

He was both shocked by the enemy Wang Yuan’s Body Refinement prowess and amazed by the trump card techniques of Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators like the dried toad and Yang Wei.

Had it not been for the special environment of Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain,

Merely at the Sixth Level Foundation Establishment, I would not dare to sit on an equal footing with them.

But!

As long as this war is over, with the accumulated merits, I can advance to Late Stage Foundation Establishment after returning to the sect.

By then, there will be no more shortcomings in the realm.

Furthermore, with my father’s support, I may even contend for the position of Budding Cultivator within the Flame Alliance!

“At present, I am not inferior to you all. In the future, I will leave you far behind.”

As Yan Leizi watched the fierce battle within the Array, his heart surged with excitement.

He saw clearly.

After the dried toad went in to divert the enemy, Yang Wei, who was in charge of the Array, finally breathed a sigh of relief. More chains of thunder emerged from above the Big Formation, trying to bind Wang Yuan.

Now there were already three chains piercing through the opponent’s feet and abdomen.

Once seven chains go through the body, they can form the Seven Thunder Prison pattern.

At that time, Wang Yuan could only surrender, awaiting his execution!

“Array Technique is indeed powerful; with preparation, suppressing a cultivator at the same level is a piece of cake, and even crossing levels to kill the enemy is easy.”

“If Yang Wei had been there initially, we would not have been hindered by that Lei Zhenzi, and I wouldn’t have been so embarrassed, nearly perishing under the Five Thunder Blast.”

Just as he was reflecting on the means of the people in the Array.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

He looked around, and all was quiet.

Looking up at the sky, although dark clouds gathered, there was no sign of thunderstorms descending.

Trapped Sky Valley is a unique terrain in the Ninth Mountain.

Thick dark clouds spanned hundreds of miles all year round, but thunderstorms were rare.

So, where did that feeling of wrongness come from?

Yan Leizi’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, and his sharp eyes scanned all directions frantically.

“Who’s there? Show yourself!”

A loud shout met with no response.

But it was this lack of response that made him feel an even stronger sense of danger.

All of a sudden.

He looked down at the ground, where a pebble had inexplicably rolled a bit.

“Hmm?”

As he wondered,

The next moment!

The ground began to tremble violently, and numerous rocks shook.

As the shaking intensified, large rocks began to fall into the Trapped Sky Valley from the cliffs on both sides.

“An earthquake?”

Yan Leizi was shocked and unsure.

Suddenly!

He looked down into Trapped Sky Valley.

The violent shaking of the earth and the collapsing mountains caused the flow of earth Qi to change and the terrain to shift.

With this, Yang Wei’s Thunder Prison Array would surely be affected.

If Wang Yuan were to break free, with his formidable abilities, the three of them would find it difficult to capture him.

“No good!”

“We must make it quick and decisive!”

“I must enter the Array and join hands with the dried toad to suppress Wang Yuan!”

Just as he was about to step in instantly,

A hearty laugh came from outside the mountain.

“Friend, please hold your step!”

Yan Leizi turned around abruptly.

A man dressed in a Red Cloud Robe stepped out from the void, dragging the Xuanhuo Sword behind him. Strands of red Qi flowed at the tip of the sword, with the Qi Mechanism pervading the area for several miles around it.

It seemed as though the sword was drawing the whole heaven and earth with it!

As he approached step by step, the vibrations of the earth became increasingly apparent.

Faintly, a great terror was descending slowly.
