Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

A Five Elements Lotus Stand suddenly manifested.

He floated onto the seat, held a top-grade Hongyuan Pill in his mouth, and entered a meditative state.

By dawn, Luo Chen felt fully rejuvenated, his Divine Yuan Qi abundant!

Without any hesitation, he placed the Yuan Tu Sword horizontally on his knees, and inhaled a wisp of Chi Xiao Qi, beginning to circulate continuously between himself and the sword.

...

This day.

Late into the night, Luo Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

A wisp of Chi Xiao Qi transformed into smoke and entered his chest.

He flew out without hesitation, arriving at the pitch-black city wall, gazing into the distance.

Too far away, his Divine Consciousness couldn’t perceive clearly.

But he had another pair of eyes that could penetrate thousands of miles!

In his vision, points of light appeared, neatly lighting up.

Faintly, he could hear the sounds of disturbance from within the city.

”Has the battle begun?”

As expected when discussing with everyone before, after Huang Man arrived, the strength of the Demon Clan doubled, and they could no longer hold back.

In less than half a month, they launched their attack directly.

Facing the Demon Clan army head-on, the East City Gate bore the brunt of the fierce attack at the first moment.

At this moment, millions of cultivators were heading towards the East City.

Perhaps learning from the previous lesson where the Seven Rhinoceros Commander failed to attack Lingtian Pass and suffered serious injuries, this time the Demon Clan did not send their top experts directly into Lingtian Pass.

Instead, they dispatched numerous lower order Demon Beasts to assault the gates from all sides.

Luo Chen leapt into the air, reaching high altitude.

With sharp eyes, he surveyed in all directions.

Under the night sky, countless demon beasts seemed like a flood, coming from the east.

Upon reaching the plains outside Lingtian Pass, the enormous flood of demon beasts split into two streams, encircling towards the north and south wings.

This scene was akin to Lingtian Pass being a giant elephant, and those demon beasts were even smaller ants, transforming into three streams, intending to surround and devour the elephant.

”Hopefully, the friends can hold on!”

Luo Chen lamented with a sigh, simultaneously instructing Zeng Yilong and others who were on high alert, to be ready to wipe out any approaching demon beasts nearby.

He had no intention to go to support.

The four Nascent Soul cultivators were each guarding a side and none could leave their posts lightly.

Relatively speaking, the West City District was located at the very rear, the safest place.

If it weren’t for Luo Chen having previously raised the name of the Alchemy Sect and received preferential treatment, this place wouldn’t have fallen to him.

At this moment, he considered himself fortunate to avoid facing the demon beasts’ army’s direct impact.

But Luo Chen was clear that as demon beasts increased, with Great Commander-level Demon Emperors arriving one after another, the West City would inevitably be surrounded sooner or later.

”When will reinforcements arrive?”

...

The sounds of battle from the east, south, and north directions never ceased.

From late night, it continued until dawn.

Array formations, under the hosting of cultivators within the city, continuously unfolded.

Devices similar to spiritual cannons were relentlessly consuming Spirit Stones, launching violent attacks at demon beasts outside the city.

Occasionally, Nascent Soul level Demon Emperors would launch probing attacks on Lingtian Pass.

Responding to them was the City Protection Formation activated by Lingtian City Lord.

A Xuan Sword swept across all directions; though it couldn’t be killed outside, none could enter.

Hence, the powerhouses from the Demon Clan understood it was impossible to take down Lingtian Pass relying on personal might alone.

Only by attrition!

When all the formations in Lingtian Pass were eradicated, and the city’s resources exhausted, then the Xuanwu Square Formation would merely be just an array.

The battle never stops!

Time flowed day by day.

By the fifth day, the West City Luo Chen was guarding also began to see scattered bands of retreating demon beasts.

These were remnants of demon beasts routing from the front battlefield.

Without hesitation, Luo Chen immediately ordered the extermination of these retreats.

West City cultivators, led by Golden Core cultivators, charged out of the city and killed these remnants one by one.

The reason for not employing the West City’s arrays was deliberate on Luo Chen’s part.

Just dealing with these scattered demon beasts didn’t warrant using those Killing Arrays.

This was an opportunity to test the West City cultivators better.

A bloody battle quickly unfolded right under Luo Chen’s eyes.

His Divine Consciousness fully extended, covering the battlefield within a thousand miles radius to guard against any Nascent Soul level Demon Emperors launching surprise attacks on the West City.

But clearly, currently, those Demon Emperors’ focus was on the front battlefield, not enough to target his side.

Therefore, the combat of the cultivators under his command remained within a certain controllable range.

Luo Chen specifically allocated a portion of his attention to the Luo Tian Sect cultivators, especially Zeng Yilong.

After being rewarded with the Breaking Moon Wings, he completely filled the gap in his speed.

Early in his youth, Luo Chen taught him Ninety Thousand Miles and gifted him a pair of top-grade Flying Wings.

Those wings were destroyed on the Battle Platform.

Now the tier of the Breaking Moon Wings reached Ascendant Grade Magic Item level, for Zeng Yilong, they were like adding wings to a tiger!

In his sight, Zeng Yilong extended his wings, holding the Ten Thousand Jun Halberd, when he moved, he would charge hundreds of feet and launch Thunderbolt Strikes.

Lower Order Demon Beasts often died in one hit, turning into pulp.

Even regular Third-Order Demon Kings couldn’t withstand him for several rounds.

Witnessing this scene, Luo Chen exhaled a little relieved.

”Wang Yuan’s nurturing over the years was indeed remarkable. This one also inherited his father’s innate combat consciousness. Now with the Magic Item I’ve bestowed, as long as the Third-Order Late-Stage Great Demon King doesn’t appear or doesn’t fall into a circle of demon beasts, no one can do anything to him.”

Luo Chen was very satisfied; Zeng Yilong’s performance fully justified the Luo Tian Sect’s investment in him.
