Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1491: Chapter 554: Exposure and Outburst, Whirlwind Breakthrough_3 Chapter 1491: Chapter 554: Exposure and Outburst, Whirlwind Breakthrough_3 Even the self-destruction of the Ring-Headed Turtle, a threat to various royal families, wasn’t taken seriously by them.

Yet, the Heaven and Earth Net they had meticulously set up was so easily broken just now?

“That flame…”

Murmurs filled with shock surfaced in each other’s eyes.

Luo Chen, who had already escaped the encirclement, didn’t care what they were thinking.

On this battlefield, there are just too many opponents of the same rank.

He absolutely cannot stop!

Otherwise, even with the Ring-Headed Turtle Clan as a distraction, he’d likely fall into the vast sea of the Demon Beast War.

By that time, no matter how confident he was, it would be impossible to survive.

Only at this moment, in one fell swoop, can he escape thousands of miles and leave Mysterious Rock Island!

“Luo Chen, you are about to leave the surveillance range of the Water Mirror Technique; with my Remaining soul intuit, I can only probe the land ahead for another hundred miles for you.”

“Nearby, several Demon Kings are pursuing you. Once they form an encirclement, you will find it hard to fly away.”

“However, their speed isn’t as fast as yours; they can’t form an encirclement. The only thing you need to consider is breaking through a Great Demon King ahead, and you can’t stay for more than ten breaths.”

The voice of Han Zhan’s Divine Consciousness Voice Transmission quietly entered his ears.

Luo Chen’s mind was also stretched to the utmost.

There is one more to block the way!

And not just any commoner, but a Third-Order Late-Stage Great Demon King.

“Which clan is it?” he asked in a deep voice.

“Nine Claw Poison King Crab!”

Luo Chen’s face slightly changed; this was the clan he least wanted to provoke.

Even over the years, neither Black King nor Tian Xuan had ever captured a Nine Claw Poison King Crab.

Because this crab’s body is full of intense poison, which can erode Qi Power, and once contaminated, the Golden Core can easily be tainted.

Even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators don’t want to touch this demon.

Just thinking that a Great Demon King from the Nine-Clawed Poison King Crab Clan was blocking the way ahead made Luo Chen’s heart sink.

Take a detour?

No!

The Demon Kings were converging on his location one by one; taking a detour was simply not an option.

There was only one way to go, charge!

Biting his teeth, he furiously flapped his Breaking Moon Wings.

With a Gale Sweep, Luo Chen’s speed was extremely fast.

Soon, a black Demon Crab, situated on a hill, was looking up at him.

Apart from him, there was no one else.

When Luo Chen took a closer look, what was beneath that Demon Body was not a hill at all.

It was clearly a pile of Ring-Headed Turtle corpses, a mountain of bodies!

Looking at Luo Chen’s figure, the demon smiled viciously and spat out.

It spewed out a mouthful of Black Water into the air, with a stench that made one nauseous.

Once it contaminated the air, the Black Water began to transform, engulfing the four sides in puffs of Black Fog, completely shrouding this area of the sky and land.

The most classic attack of the Nine-Clawed Poison King Crab Clan, using the poison condensed in its life for an illusory attack.

Clearly, considering Luo Chen’s Speed, ordinary means could not stop him, so it materialized as the most extensive area of poison fog.

As long as Luo Chen got a touch of it, he would be in big trouble.

Not only that.

After releasing the poison fog, the Great Demon King soared into the sky, opening its ferocious mouth as flesh turned inside out, and a black hooked claw floated out.

He had actually refined his ninth claw into something akin to a Human Clan’s Natal Magic Item!

A Black Hook? A Poison Hook!

Spring-loaded and ready to launch, the demon spoke in human tongue.

“Human, you might as well stay behind!”

To this.

Luo Chen did not utter a word; his speed did not decrease in the slightest.

His wings trembled, and he charged directly into the widespread poison fog.

Seeing this, the Great Demon King let out a sneer.

“Rushing blindly?”

But the next moment, his sneering abruptly stopped.

Within the dense poison fog, a series of ‘ssss’ sounds erupted.

That feeling, like boiling oil exploding within a large pot.

Upon closer inspection, within the poison fog, a fiery red cloud spread out, pushing the surrounding poison fog layer by layer.

That cloud, seemed like a miasma, or perhaps it was Evil Qi.

This special cloud, upon contact with the poison fog, began to deplete both.

Seeing his own natal poison essence, condensed over hundreds of years, continuously diminishing, the Nine Claw Poison King Crab of the Great Demon King’s lineage exhibited a pained expression in his eyes.

Unable to sit idly by any longer, he directly lashed out with his black poison hook.

With a piercing shriek, attempting to slay its way into the poison fog.

Just at that moment, Luo Chen burst forth from the fog, carrying with him the Fierce Fire Miasma.

Confronting the black poison hook coming head-on, he snapped his fingers in succession, three beams of dark light shot out one after another in rapid succession.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

In the blink of an eye, the three beams of dark light in the sky each engaged the black poison hook in short exchanges.

In the first clash, the poison hook was irrepressible, scattering the spirit light of one beam of dark light.

In the second, the poison hook stalled in its momentum, holding against the dark light for an instant before continuing onward. However, the dense Demon Qi on it had also dissipated by a large amount.

And in the third, the poison hook suddenly froze in midair.

Not only that, the Great Demon King who wielded the natal magic item also had a sudden change in expression, his body stiffening for a moment.

Taking advantage of this, Luo Chen passed his figure and flew towards the distance.

Glancing at the ferocious Demon Crab behind him, he heard Han Zhan’s voice in his mind.

“The road ahead is beyond my help, you must judge for yourself. Do not worry about the swamp here, I will take Black King to sneak into the deep sea and retreat.”

Luo Chen acknowledged with a hum, stretching his hand and beckoning backward.

Immediately.

Among the three beams of dark light, one followed closely behind.

The remaining two, one silent, the other wobbling and taking flight, trying to follow.

But the Great Demon King, having recovered, controlled the poison hook to smash directly downwards, striking the dark light into dust.

Upon a closer look, it turned out to be a black nail.

Looking at Luo Chen’s retreating figure, the Great Demon King’s face grew somewhat gloomy.

Clever tactics!

Three nails: one aimed at the poison hook itself, one disrupting the enveloping Demon Qi, and one momentarily severing his connection with the natal magic item in an instant.

And that cloud earlier, resembling miasma.

His carefully prepared dual trump cards, dismantled in an instant.

This person’s combat genius is sky-high, making such perfect decisions on the fly, utterly inconceivable.

Is this what Human Cultivators are like?

It is said that Gu Shaoshang had a brief encounter with several Three-Order Demon Crabs, displaying impressive moves, and gained recognition from the five clans.

Such individuals truly possess numerous tricks up their sleeves, not something that those of us from the single-faceted Third-Order Demon Tribe can compare to.

Perhaps, only by advancing to the Fourth Order, altering my channels, and transforming into a human shape, can I match them.

Transformation Period!

The Great Demon King’s gaze fell upon the Mysterious Rock Island below his feet, as long as he conquered it, this place would be where his future advancement to the Transformation Period would occur.

While he was contemplating, silhouettes from nearby began to converge toward him.

Among them were members of the Nine-Claw Poison King Crab Clan, but most were from the other four clans.

They couldn’t help but ask, looking at Luo Chen’s departing figure:

“Demon King Jiunan, why let that Golden Core Cultivator go?”

“This person may well be the mastermind behind Tianxuan Island, causing severe losses to our clan in recent years, he must be eliminated.”

“Could it be that your Nine-Clawed Poison King Crab Clan suffered no losses, hence you turned a blind eye, allowing him to escape?”

Faced with a barrage of questioning voices.

Jiunan remained unphased, looking down from on high, sweeping his gaze over all the Demon Kings.

With just one look, the cold and cruel eyes caused all the present demons to shiver, subconsciously bowing their heads.

“Hmph!”

With a cold snort, Demon King Jiunan said slowly, “It wasn’t me who let him go, but that man has many tricks up his sleeve; he used a secret treasure to temporarily break the connection between me and my natal magic item. I let my guard down for a moment, giving him a chance to break through.”

“And why not give chase?”

Demon King Jiunan smacked his lips, his face revealing a cruel smile.

“Rest assured, Jin Ao Daoist friend was chasing the enemy out of the island and engaged in a battle at sea. By the time, that battle should have also ended. If he returns the way he came, he will definitely encounter this thief.”

“Heh, it won’t be long before you can see that man’s corpse.”
