Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1719: Chapter 632: Every Man for Himself, Vine King Emerges_2

The vine resembled a python, struggling relentlessly in his grip, yet it couldn’t break free.

At that moment, Luo Chen turned around, his gaze landing on him.

With a slight nod, Luo Chen decisively severed the Withered Bloodvine in his hand and stored it in his storage ring.

After all, it was a Fourth-Order Spirit Plant. Even though it was merely an offshoot, it certainly had considerable value.

Among the group, only the Fishing Elder hadn’t joined the battle yet.

He stared at the bell in his hand, which was emitting crisp chimes, his face lit with growing excitement.

”Our direction is correct!”

”The appearance of Fourth-Order offshoot vines means we are growing closer to the Vine King’s lair.”

”Everyone, prepare for the real battle!”

Huangfu Song’s heart tensed.

The preliminary fight against the Fourth-Order Withered Bloodvine had already forced him to use his Magic Item.

The intensity of the upcoming battle was bound to escalate further, requiring him to remain vigilant.

”If it weren’t for the reliance on the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering as a significant backing, I wouldn’t bother with this meaningless endeavor.”

”But among the other Seven-star Demon Hunters in the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, all of them are at the Late Golden Core Stage. Why did the Fishing Elder specifically summon me, a mere Five-star Demon Hunter?”

This had been the lingering doubt in his heart since their departure.

It was also one of the reasons he avoided connecting with the others.

He constantly felt that the Fishing Elder’s gaze toward him carried something inexplicable.

...

Deep within Deadwood Ridge.

A valley stood amidst the terrain, resembling a low volcanic crater.

Five Glints streaked through the sky like meteors, shooting toward the ground.

Upon landing, the expressions of the five simultaneously changed.

Outside the valley, massive white vines, as thick as barrels, stood towering and menacingly stared at them.

The Fishing Elder bypassed Dao Lan and moved to the forefront.

”Plenty of them! At least a hundred. Everyone, this is going to be a grueling fight!”

Over a hundred Fourth-Order Withered Bloodvines equated to over a hundred Early Golden Core enemies.

Although their attack methods were limited to entangling and stabbing as basic instincts, sheer numbers posed an overwhelming threat.

For a moment, the other four felt their hearts sink.

A grueling battle indeed.

But given the collective ability of the five, if the fight employed guerrilla tactics to eliminate them one at a time, it wouldn’t be difficult.

However, it was evident that the Fishing Elder intended to launch a direct assault on the valley, aiming to break into the Vine King’s lair.

The Fishing Elder suddenly turned around. ”You won’t back down and flee, will you?”

The stench-filled mountain wind blew past jagged rocks and swept over the faces of the four.

Dao Lan’s broad blade pointed to the ground at an angle, his voice hoarse, ”Just mere plants and monsters. Slash and be done with them!”

Huangfu Song shouted loudly, ”Fishing Elder, you promised me. After completing this mission, you’ll intervene with the Tianqu Chen Family under the name of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering!”

Gou Xingshi glanced around, shaking his head, ”It’s a pity these Withered Bloodvines lack Monster Pills, making them useless for crafting Starlight.”

Luo Chen remained silent, though a giant hammer was clenched in his hand.

Seeing this, the Fishing Elder nodded in satisfaction, the black-golden long rod in his hand shimmering as it stood before him. Its dried strands fluttered lightly in the wind.

”Your fighting spirit is passable. In that case... let’s fight separately!”

With his command, the battle erupted abruptly!

As if resonating to the call, those poised Fourth-Order Withered Bloodvines shot forward like arrows, tearing through the air.

Without hesitation, the five figures darted in separate directions.

Immediately, over a hundred Withered Bloodvines divided into five squads, chasing after their respective targets.

The group pursuing the Fishing Elder held the largest numbers!

Meanwhile, the forces chasing Luo Chen were the smallest!

Luo Chen’s lips curled slightly upon seeing this.

However, upon noticing the Fishing Elder’s silhouette charging directly into the valley, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

”Alone, he dares to provoke the Vine King?”

Yet this doubt faded as the army of chasing Withered Bloodvines closed in, leaving no room for reflection.

Swish!

A pair of Feathered Wings unfurled behind Luo Chen.

He gripped the giant hammer and soared skyward.

Below him, thick white vines lashed upward, clawing and snapping in pursuit.

Up in the air, Luo Chen erupted with speed, maneuvering skillfully through the sky like a fiery scarlet meteoroid, weaving left and right.

The sluggish movements of the Withered Bloodvines couldn’t hope to catch up to him.

Under Luo Chen’s control, his giant hammer swung repeatedly, unleashing fierce and brutal strikes like a blacksmith hammering away.

The perfected Flowing Fire Hammer Technique was being deployed in battle for the first time.

The results... weren’t particularly impressive.

Those struck became momentarily weakened, yet upon falling to the ground, they paused briefly before resuming their relentless pursuit.

Luo Chen frowned, his Divine Consciousness scanning the other battlefields.

The Fishing Elder’s ”fight separately” strategy as the combat’s framework was something he could understand.

After all, the five weren’t familiar comrades; each had their own combat style, which inevitably clashed.

If their moves interfered with one another during the battle, it would be counterproductive.

By creating distance and engaging independently, each person could maximize their strengths.

At this moment, under his observation, everyone’s combat styles unfolded before him.

Dao Lan maintained his aggressive approach, his long blade emitting bursts of formidable Sword Qi with every swing.

Standing firm like an immovable mountain, the Withered Bloodvines swarming him could not breach within three meters of his position.

Truly domineering!

Gou Xingshi, with a calm expression, treaded peculiarly through the rugged paths of the mountain, navigating it as effortlessly as a flat plain.

Whenever a Fourth-Order Withered Bloodvine launched an attack, he retaliated with bursts of colorful Starlight.

This technique belonged to the Sky Demon Star Sect’s secret Star Technique, earning endless praise from countless practitioners.

But in Luo Chen’s Spirit Vision, he noticed those Starlight bursts were directly comprised of the inner cores of Third-Order Demon Kings!

Using Demon King inner cores as stars to perform the Star Technique?
