Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1790: Chapter 662: Neither Human, Nor Demon, Nor Monster - Refining Heaven Demon Monarch! Part 2

Old Daoist Ji Yuan smiled slightly, followed the footsteps of the three, and arrived at the end where the Spiritual Energy Tornado gathered to the sky.

In a dark abyss.

As soon as they landed, Old Daoist Ji Yuan nervously surveyed the surroundings.

The abyss was silent, soundless, and devoid of any creature’s presence.

Only clusters of mushrooms grew in the crevices of the mountain walls.

”Strange?”

Old Daoist Ji Yuan picked a mushroom with a puzzled expression.

”This place is supposed to be where spirit power reverses, why do these mushrooms have no spirit energy at all?”

Blood Nightmare Mo Luo was also puzzled. His understanding of the Land of Fallen Demons was mostly from sect archives; this was his first time entering.

To truly speak of someone familiar with this place, it would have to be Feileng Fairy, who had been here once before.

Seeing the two looking at her, Feileng snorted lightly.

”Don’t look at me. This place is strange; how could I possibly know? Moreover, when I came here before, I was merely at the late-stage Golden Core Realm, treated like...”

She didn’t finish her words, but her face already showed a less than pleasant expression.

Blood Nightmare Mo Luo waved his hand, ”Enough, let’s not dwell on this. Prepare to enter!”

”How do we enter?” Old Daoist Ji Yuan asked curiously.

Blood Nightmare Mo Luo took a deep breath and pointed to the bottomless abyss.

”This abyss is endless; entering ordinarily would lead to getting lost. Only when the ruins open, with the spirit power reversal forming a tornado, will a Teleportation Formation appear.”

”We only need to jump into that tornado to go against the current and find the Teleportation Formation.”

”Am I right, Feileng Fairy?”

The woman nodded, ”Indeed it is so, but I must add, when going in, do not resist, consider yourself part of Heaven and Earth Qi. Otherwise, you will be rejected by the Array.”

Upon hearing this, Old Daoist Ji Yuan’s face changed slightly.

”Such violent Heaven and Earth Qi, if not resisted, might not only injure but even prove fatal!”

Blood Nightmare Mo Luo looked at him calmly, seemingly speechless.

Feileng Fairy softly said: ”It’s simple, unfold the Nascent Soul Domain and briefly integrate with Heaven and Earth.”

So that’s how it is!

Old Daoist Ji Yuan realized suddenly.

Although integrating with Heaven and Earth poses great risks for a Nascent Soul, if only for a short time, it’s no big deal.

”Let’s go!”

Blood Nightmare Mo Luo waved his large sleeve, leaping into that violent tornado, the other two closely following.

As the three entered, a faint rumbling came from the abyss.

Amidst that rumbling sound, something like a fleshy mass in a crevice on the cliff shuddered slightly.

As the body shuddered, some dust was sprinkled out.

Most fell into the abyss.

A small part clung to the rock face, transforming either into green moss or tiny mushrooms.

Only a few were swept out of the abyss by the windstorm formed by the Spiritual Energy Tornado.

With these things shaken out, the breath of the fleshy mass diminished somewhat.

It looked resentfully at the bottomless abyss, then gazed towards the outer world through the dimly lit crevice.

”It’s coming, it has to come.”

...

”The Land of Fallen Demons has three heavens: one is Li Wangtian, another is Five Elements Heaven, and the third is Night Illuminating Zhao, also known as Ming Zhao Heaven.”

”You’ve seen Li Wangtian. It is filled with countless illusion realms, mesmerizing in five colors, where a single misstep leads to being trapped. Especially for those with an unsteady Dao Heart or a flawed Divine Soul, it’s easy to get ensnared. It’s also a natural barrier isolating this place from the Outer World. Legend has it, Li Wangtian wasn’t set up against cultivators initially but for the mythical Sky Demon. Within it, you haven’t even triggered Li Wangtian’s greatest power, what you saw was just the tip of the iceberg.”

”As for Ming Zhao Heaven, I’ve never been there. But that’s where your Human Clan immortal cultivators call the Heritage Land. Over the millennia, I’ve seen numerous Yuan Mo Sect powerhouses venture in, including not a few Divine Transformation Great Powers!”

Three streaks of glint flew cautiously among the Thousand Peril Mountains.

They tried to avoid the towering peaks and not set foot in areas where exotic beasts were present.

Occupying Ding Yi’s physical body, Tai Sui satisfied Luo Chen’s curiosity by explaining the setup of this secret realm.

Luo Chen listened carefully, interrupting to ask detailed questions when he didn’t understand something.

Upon learning that they hadn’t triggered Li Wangtian’s greatest power, he felt a trace of relief.

Tai Sui was somewhat surprised, ”You said you encountered the Mei Xin Illusion?”

Luo Chen was confused, ”Is there something wrong with that?”

Tai Sui uncertainly said, ”Mei Xin Illusion Realm, I remember it’s supposed to be a barrier set for the Demon Monarch, you...”

Moyun Cave Lord’s eyes showed a hint of fear, ”Demon Monarch, you aren’t the Demon Monarch, are you?”

Luo Chen’s expression turned stern, then he snorted, ”Have you seen a Demon Monarch at the Golden Core Period?”

Indeed!

The rumored Demon Monarch is formless and can traverse through interfaces.

Generally, it rarely appears, only during the Tribulation when the heavens and the cultivator’s divine soul merge, does the Demon Monarch seize the opportunity to appear.

Luo Chen is at the Golden Core Period. How could he possibly be the so-called Demon Monarch?

Tai Sui realized this too, ”Perhaps you’ve killed too much, clouding your mind, unintentionally triggering the Mei Xin Illusion Realm!”

Luo Chen pursed his lips, ”Tell me about this so-called Five Elements Heaven in the last three days!”

His face showed a nonchalant expression, but shadows loomed in his heart.

Tai Sui cleared his throat and began explaining what Five Elements Heaven is.

”The master of this place, with unmatched cultivation, is unfathomable. Using the Power of the Five Elements Law, he divided the Five Domains. These five domains are Thousand Peril Mountains, Wood Heaven Plain, Yue Cang Lan, Blazing Refinement Prison, and Quicksand Sea. In each location, abundant Five Elements Essence is gathered. Moreover, that person, using great divine power, transforms the Five Elements Essence into monsters, making the Five Domains circulate endlessly.”

”Together, these Five Domains form the Five Elements Heaven!”

This short speech sounded like a thunderous explosion.

Especially for Luo Chen and Han Zhan residing within him, they were visibly incredulous.

Their bodies paused, stopping mid-air.

”How is it possible? Even if he is a Void Refining True Monarch, it’s impossible to master the Power of the Five Elements Law, let alone even transform monsters!”

Tai Sui also stopped, speaking with a peculiar look, ”He is a Void Refining True Monarch, yet not an ordinary True Monarch but the strongest Void Refining True Monarch from ancient times to the present.”

What kind of expression is this?

Reverence, admiration, admiration mixed with resentment and fear.

Moyun Cave Lord shook his head, ”If this is true, mastering the Five Elements Law is indeed terrifying.”

”Far more than the five elements!”

Amid Luo Chen and Han Zhan’s astonishment, Tai Sui whispered, ”The True Monarch is a peerless genius throughout the ages, such that cultivation for him is as simple as eating and drinking, at least, I’ve seen him use no less than ten kinds of the Power of Laws.”

Luo Chen’s mouth twitched, ”Tai Sui Friend, are you talking about a human?”

He already felt the other party was exaggerating the host of this place to intimidate them.

However, Tai Sui naturally nodded.

”He is indeed not human, but demon, half-human, half-demon! Even possessing the bloodline of a Sky Demon!”

This time, Luo Chen fell completely silent.

After a long while, he asked softly, ”What’s his name?”

”The True Monarch’s name, how could someone insignificant like me know? But I once heard a strong Absolute Summit figure who ventured into this realm call him Refining Heaven Demon Monarch!”

Refining Heaven Demon Monarch!

Whispering this title, Luo Chen restarted his journey.

No wonder this place is called the Land of Fallen Demons.

It turns out the master of this place is a strong figure from the Demon Race.

He intended to inquire more information, but Tai Sui was unwilling to say much.

Or rather, he didn’t know that much either.

According to Tai Sui’s explanation, most creatures in this realm are monsters transformed by the great divine power of the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, while a few, like him, gradually developed spirit intelligence by residing here for a long time.

For example, the Five Elements Lotus Stand could be considered his junior.

However, having finally developed some slight spirit intelligence, he hadn’t yet advanced to the Fifth Order before being targeted by people like Luo Chen.

Due to being aware since he came into existence in this realm, Tai Sui did not know much about the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch.

What he knows is just the tip of the iceberg.

Five days later.

Three figures descended into a low hillside.

Behind them lay the Thousand Peril Mountains, like a forest of sharp swords.

”In Five Elements Heaven, the Thousand Peril Mountains are the richest yet most dangerous. Even for strong explorers from Yuan Mo Sect over the years, they dare not be overly reckless. Because inside, there are many powerful Fourth Order Exotic Beasts, and even a sleeping Fifth Order Iron-Devouring Exotic Beast.”

”Our next destination is the Blazing Refinement Prison. The Five Elements Lotus Stand is currently within this prison.”

Tai Sui exhaled a long breath, speaking slowly.

Luo Chen looked far into the distance but saw no prison, just a sea of sand.

”Let’s get through this Quicksand Sea first!”
