Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1730: Chapter 635: Shattered Island, Broken Formation, Death of the Mountain Lord! _3

And within the billowing dust, the elder’s body was frail, like a remnant candle in the wind.

But just as the two were about to come close, the giant’s form suddenly halted.

The Hundred Craft Mountain Master spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and without a second thought, grasped towards the sky again.

The towering giant mountain continued to press down with the momentum of a falling meteorite. During this process, its size grew smaller, yet its power intensified.

He wanted to crush his opponent alive!

An unexpected scene unfolded.

A gray miniature cauldron flew out from above Luo Chen’s head, and at the critical moment, forcefully held up that small mountain.

”How is it possible? He was countered by the soul-refining method left by the Blood Nightmare Mo Luo, now suffering from the backlash of the illusion technique - Elder Xing’s remnant soul is impacting his divine soul, so how does he still have the strength to control the magic item?”

Surprised in his heart, the Hundred Craft Mountain Master’s face grew more hideous.

”In that case, I’ll tear you apart alive!”

He discarded the shield with dim spirit light and pinched his fingers to make a move.

Seven flying swords flew in from a distance, shooting toward Luo Chen.

Just as they were about to make contact, it was as if they collided with an invisible wall of qi, unable to advance an inch!

The Hundred Craft Mountain Master was stunned, his gaze touching the black armor, a look of realization flashed by.

”I always thought that his title of Tool Casting Master was just flattery by ignorant rogue cultivators, but I didn’t expect he really has some skill, actually refining a piece of Body Protecting Qi Armor!”

”However, such armor cannot withstand my Qi Sha Swords!”

The Qi Sha Swords are known for breaking defenses.

With a thought, the seven swords swirled, starting to spin wildly, centered on Luo Chen.

A storm of sword qi suddenly formed!

The terrifying cutting force began to incessantly cut into the Protective Qi Armor that shielded Luo Chen.

Judging by its appearance, it seemed like it wouldn’t be long before it could touch his body.

Inside the Xuan Chen Armor.

Luo Chen’s eyes were tightly shut, blood trickling down from the corner of his eyes.

Within the Sea of Consciousness.

A remnant soul of a stalwart man roared as it charged at his soul’s body.

”It’s the original owner of that Flowing Flame Hammer magic item, dead under Han Zhan’s control of the Sealing Sea Eight Diagrams Formation, yet some remnant soul remains, deliberately refined into a means to target my illusion technique.”

His consciousness instantly awakened from the intense pain, Luo Chen coldly watched the approaching remnant soul, unperturbed.

The backlash from Mirror Flower, Water Moon was so severe that not even the second layer of the illusion had time to manifest, the pain was unimaginable.

But how could he, Luo Chen, be an ordinary person?

Having refined ”Ming God’s Divine Cleanse” during Qi Refinement, endured Heavenly Thunder during Foundation Establishment, and relentlessly trained his physique day and night after Core Formation, whether it was being scorched by True Fire or tormented by Black Emperor Ointment, he had cultivated an exceptionally high threshold for pain endurance.

Moreover, over the years, using the Artifact Refining Technique to temper his physique, his consciousness had long been honed through countless trials, steadfast and unyielding!

A mere instant of intense pain, gone in the blink of an eye.

First releasing the Lifebound Magic Treasure Primordial Chaos Tripod to withstand the Hundred Craft Mountain’s assault, then activating the Protective Qi Armor of the Xuan Chen Armor.

Now, to resolve the hidden threat within the Sea of Consciousness.

Taking the soul as the body, wielding divinity as a blade, he unleashed the Finalization Dragon Slaying Art.

It severs qi, dragons, and even gods in a single strike!

With just one slash, the stalwart remnant soul dissipated into smoke.

”Huh?”

As it vanished, a light ”Huh?” seemed to escape.

Luo Chen’s mind returned, once again in control of his physique, not having time to recall the familiar ”Huh?” as he observed the current situation.

He was trapped!

Before his eyes, the sword qi storm cut through everything, the seven sharp swords with evil qi rampaged, continuously assaulting his Protective Qi Armor.

Even though the qi armor repeated its cycle, regenerating over and over, it was still on the verge of collapse.

The main body of the Xuan Chen Armor already had countless tiny scars.

”Fortunately, the Xuan Chen Armor has both inner armor and qi armor for defense, yet to harm my body.”

Luo Chen felt grateful in his heart, but the anger in his eyes grew stronger.

In the past, he was always the one trapping others, using various means to defeat the strong with the weak.

Today, however, he fell into someone else’s trap, passive at every turn, constantly on the receiving end of attacks.

If it weren’t for his deep foundations and many methods, he would have fallen long ago.

”Hundred Craft Mountain Master!!!”

A low growl resounded from his mouth.

Outside the sword array, the elder sat cross-legged, mobilizing his years of accumulated qi power to maintain the Qi Sha Sword Formation.

Though surprised that Luo Chen awakened so quickly, at this moment he did not show much panic.

”Demon King Qingyang, since you are trapped within the sword array, your death and the dissipation of your path are certain. Why struggle with impotent rage?”

Luo Chen grinned.

”Is it so?”

He stomped his feet, pressing them onto the uneven earth.

Qi Power surged out, bolstering the Body Protecting Qi Armor, making it more robust.

Moreover, torrents of Earth Qi, seemingly drawn by some force, poured out uncontrollably, enhancing the Qi Armor.

For a moment, Xuan Chen Qi Armor and Qi Sha Sword Formation were in a deadlock.

Luo Chen could not advance, nor could the Hundred Craft Mountain Master break through.

On this desolate Second Island of the Seven Stars, a peculiar scene unfolded.

A giant stood with feet firm on the earth, the air swirling around him.

A diminutive elder sat cross-legged, the Sword Qi Storm growing ever more turbulent.

Neither dared to relent, neither wished to surrender.

Time slipped away in this standoff.

From the black curtain of night, imperceptibly, the moon had sunk into the sea and the morning sun arose.

At some unknown moment.

Boom!

A loud crash was heard.

The Qi Sha Sword Formation, unable to sustain, crumbled and shattered.

Restoring his original form, Luo Chen strode out, his breath not diminished, his eyes still sharp as lightning.

Looking afar, he saw an elder in utter despair fleeing frantically.

Even the seven Treasure Swords were discarded to buy time to escape.

”Alas, you cannot escape!”

Luo Chen murmured, preparing to chase with full force, but saw three attacks from the sky striking toward the elder.

The Hundred Craft Mountain Master, panic-stricken, raised a defensive shield, striving with all his might to withstand these three attacks.

However, afterward, a Flood Dragon’s tail smashed down from the sea.

Boom!

The already decrepit shield shattered into fragments under the Flood Dragon’s tail blow.

The elder’s frail body exploded into a mist of blood; only a dim Golden Core sought to flee.

Yet, it was swallowed whole by the Flood Dragon.

Three Glints cut through the air, revealing themselves as Lu Shanjun, Sang Jiugong, and Duan Li.

”Apologies, we arrived late.”

”That eerie Big Formation prevented our entry; his Array attainment was indeed formidable.”

”Qingyang Zi, are you alright?”

Under the gaze of the three, Luo Chen chuckled calmly.

Before speaking, a sound came from beneath, a sign of disintegration.

In the rolling tremors, the small island erupted and crumbled!

Endless seawater surged in, erasing all traces of the battle.

Not just the island beneath them, even the nearby six other islands began showing strange phenomena.

Earthquakes, mountain landslides, volcanic eruptions, scenes of wildlife fleeing in frenzy.

Amidst the thunderous roars.

The six islands began to break apart continuously, battered by the sea, splintering into scattered fragments.

The crowd watched the scene, swallowing nervously.

Their gaze towards Luo Chen grew more reverent.

Feeling the surrounding changes, Luo Chen pondered.

”The Earth Qi of Seven Star Island was interconnected by the Hundred Craft Mountain Master; one prospers, all prosper, one suffers, all suffer. As my Xuan Chen Armor and his Big Formation drained it, the Earth Qi was exhausted, the Spirit Vein shattered, bringing catastrophic damage to the continental plate.”

Comprehending all this, Luo Chen no longer lingered.

With a wave of his hand, several Liuguangs flew from the seawater towards him, carrying a sword, a mountain, a tripod, and even a seemingly insignificant Copper Coin.

”Master, the old man isn’t dead yet; his Divine Soul is lingering weakly within the Golden Core.”

Amidst the turbulent waves, Black King’s figure bobbed up and down, issuing a pleasing report.

Luo Chen glanced at him, waved his sleeves.

”Ignore him for now, head to Purple Spirit Island, that’s where the real matter lies!”

Finished speaking, he led the way, flying toward the foreign sea where no formation now impeded.

Behind him, Lu Shanjun and the other two exchanged glances, then silently followed.
