Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 956: Chapter 390: Trembling Heavenly Thunder, Divine Sword Summons, The Jade Realm Clears Ten Thousand Li of Dust!_2

Golden Core Cultivators are also human; they are not invincible.

Di Wanyun’s information had been collected after he had killed Yan Leizi.

This man did not have many methods at his disposal, yet he had a multitude of techniques.

Such a contradictory statement stems from his focus on cultivating his Natal Magic Item, the Thousand Illusion Golden Cloud.

It was the cloud-shaped magic item that he had seen before.

Metal is naturally solid, but the opponent had taken a different approach, refining a magic item that could morph into myriad forms.

Therefore, when Di Wanyun fought in his early years, his adaptability was nothing short of formidable!

No matter the situation, he could transform his weapon accordingly and launch attacks of various natures.

Earlier on, the gold light that burst forth was a technique of a hidden weapon.

The following Flying Swords from the golden cloud, on the other hand, took to his advantage like a fish to water, easily breaking through Luo Chen’s Defense Spell, the Glass Sky Canopy.

Had it not been for Chu Kui’s interruption with a Secret Technique, that single strike would have caught Luo Chen utterly off guard and cost him his life.

And the subsequent giant hammer form was but a preparation for that devastating Thunderbolt Strike.

“In the end, I was intimidated by the might of a Golden Core and lost the initiative,” he said.

“Therefore, in this upcoming battle, I must seize the lead and not slacken for a moment!”

The Mountain Collapse Technique, brought to its utmost potential, was the second lethal move that Luo Chen had prepared for Di Wanyun.

But Luo Chen’s methods weren’t limited to just these.

A grey sword scabbard appeared in front of him!

Luo Chen flicked his palm, and six deadly Sword Pills appeared in his hand.

Three of the Sword Pills were acquired at the free trade gathering on the Golden Sand Floating Island.

The other three were gained from the spoils of battle.

They were from an Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and that Great Cultivator, the Lan True Disciple.

Every single one was a Precious item painstakingly cultivated by a Sword Sect’s Sword Cultivator for many years!

Had these people not perished, achieving the Golden Core Realm, the Sword Pills within their bodies might even have had the chance to ascend to the status of a Natal Magic Item.

The Sword Pills were in fact weapons refined according to the blueprints of a Magic Item Embryo.

Luo Chen carefully embedded all six Sword Pills into the six holes on the grey sword scabbard.

With one Sword Pill embedded, the scabbard’s ability was of a Lower Grade Magic Tool, capable of unleashing the Sword Light that only a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator could wield.

With two Sword Pills, it would be considered Medium Grade.

By the time the fourth Sword Pill was inserted, it had already reached the level of a Top Grade Magic Tool.

But the potential of this scabbard did not stop there.

Tian Xingzi had commissioned Duan Qiankun to refine this item, most likely in anticipation of the current battle between the two sects.

Fighting the barbarians with their methods! Use the sword against swords, nurture battle with battle!

If he could gather seven Sword Pills, then he would be able, even at the Foundation Establishment Stage, to fight sword cultivators of a higher order.

When the fifth Sword Pill was set into the scabbard, its ability still reflected that of a Top Grade Magic Tool.

However, as soon as the Sword Pill from Lan True Disciple was fitted into the outermost hole, the sword scabbard began to tremble wildly, and the aura of a magic item started to emanate!

Not only that, but an overwhelming sharpness filled the air.

Luo Chen’s body, which had been tempered to the extreme, showed deep, bone-deep wounds on his palm.

A power he couldn’t control!

Luo Chen’s expression slight changed.

“It lacks a guiding force!” he said.

“No matter. If I’m to battle an Ascendant Master, I cannot hold back.”

He opened his mouth and spit out a blood-red Sword Pill that whizzed out.

It was the very Sword Pill he had blood-cultivated for many years since the Dahefang period.

As that Sword Pill was also set into the grey sword scabbard, the violent trembling subsided in an instant.

However!

In that calmness, a terrifyingly sharp aura was being brewed!

With this, the third lethal technique was ready!

“Not enough!”

“Not enough!”

“Still not enough!”

Luo Chen’s eyes revealed a hint of madness as he pressed a piece of Profound Ice containing a deadly chill into his chest.

The Profound Ice Talisman!

A gift from the Jueqing Fairy.

It seemed like a magic item, yet also a talisman.

Containing the strike force of the Jueqing Fairy, it was not only devastating, but it could also, in times of crisis, encase the user in ice, unbreakable to all but Golden Core cultivators.

As the Profound Ice Talisman was embedded into Luo Chen’s body, an extreme chill filled him.

His agitated and frenzied mood suddenly cooled down.

“With four lethal techniques, I can kill any Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, even the Budding Cultivators of The Seven Sects would struggle to contend.”

“But Di Wanyun has been a known figure for many years, and even if the strength he has previously shown appears strangely weak, going all out, these four moves of mine may not be enough to completely destroy him.”

“I must use that item!”

Taking a deep breath.

Luo Chen carefully took out a compass from his Storage Bag.

The Traveling Eighteen Array Disks!

A Completion Stage Magic Item from the Path of Array at Ghost God Valley!

Luo Chen had stumbled upon it, seen its damage, and bestowed it upon Min Longyu.

Later, with the cooperation of Min Longyu and Duan Feng, it was repaired and restored to its magic item glory.

Along the way, this array disk had produced miraculous results.

In the battle at Danxia, it annihilated the Geng siblings.

During the conflict at the Divine Craft Clan, an eight-turn Fire Dragon broke the Mountain Protection Array, and it was even used to deter two Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators with the might of nine turns.

On the Seventh Mountain battlefield, the power of the array disk remained undiminished, the Five Thunder Blast killed five Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, earning Min Longyu the title of Lei Zhenzi.

Even if it was only known within a limited circle and even Min Longyu might not be aware of his title.

It was enough to prove the power of this treasure.

When Luo Chen left Danxia.

Min Longyu returned the item to its original owner and also informed him of a Third Order Attack Array.

Ever since reaching the battlefield, Luo Chen had been nurturing the item using the method Min Longyu taught him.

Now, everything was ready!

All that was missing was an opportunity!

Luo Chen suddenly looked up; the opportunity was in the sky.

That was also the main reason he chose the Trapped Sky Valley Old Site as the battlefield.

A Third-Order Formation, drawing in the accumulated thunderclouds from the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain built up over a thousand years—who could withstand it?
