Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Lu Changsheng presided over the big formation, trembling inwardly, his eyelids twitching violently.

”Nine Chapters Bone-Erosion, limited to three. In the blink of an eye, three Chapters have passed. This Alchemy Sect truly lives up to its reputation, activating our big formation to such an extent in such a short time.”

Lu Changqing transmitted his voice with Divine Consciousness: ”Big brother, we need to increase our power, or else the operation of the formation will have issues.”

Lu Changsheng shouted in a low voice: ”Do not act rashly, leave it to me and the third brother!”

”Yes!”

Inside the formation.

Luo Chen withdrew his hand gesture, his expression grave.

Suppressed internally, ineffective attack externally.

This array is not as easy to break as imagined!

Especially since the core of this array consists of three living Demon Emperors, constantly moving, making it hard to find the array eye even with his Eye of Illusion Breaking.

Perhaps I shouldn’t have entered the array?

At the time, with Luo Chen’s abilities, he could have forced a distance at some cost.

But if he didn’t enter the array, the three Demon Emperors would likely ignore him and instead attack Tiandu Sect, relieving the pressure on Jinxiu Immortal.

And once Jinxiu Immortal is freed, the consequences would be even more dire.

”Fine, since you use an array to suppress me, I’ll respond with an array of my own!”

Luo Chen sneered, stomping heavily on the ground with one foot.

”Sword Array, rise!”

In the next moment, countless sword qi burst out of the ground!

With a terrifying cutting intention, it swept in all directions.

Numerous black fogs charged in, but often before the fog could take shape, it was shredded to nothing by the sword qi.

Such a scene caused the Lu family’s three brothers to change their expressions drastically.

”When did he set up the Sword Array?”

”It must have been before he struck against Bai Lan, there must be a hidden backup plan!”

”Another three Chapters, second brother, you take care of breaking this Sword Array!”

Understanding each other’s intentions through a short exchange, they soon understood what each should do.

Black banners swayed the heavens and earth, and violent black qi surged out, transforming into small deer with rugged horns, charging into the Sword Array.

The black deer and sword qi slaughtered each other, mutually annihilating.

Seeing those familiar deer forms and associating them with the name of this array, Luo Chen felt a moment of realization.

”So these three demons are Nine Chanter Deers!”

These demons were not unfamiliar to him.

Years ago, a group of low-level Nine Chanter Deers straddled the Ninefold Mountain between The Great River District and Tian Lan Immortal City, forcing them to take a detour.

Such demon beasts thrive best in groups, wielding the power of numbers to dominate a region.

Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t dare provoke them.

Yet this demon beast has its weaknesses, masked by their ferocious group nature, each individual’s strength is weak, with a very low upper limit.

It’s rare to hear of a Nine Chanter Deer breaking through its bloodline limit to rank up to Fourth Order and transform to cultivate.

Yet this time, unexpectedly, he ran into three Nine Chanter Deer Demon Emperors!

”Three thousand years of accumulation, the Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains have truly nurtured some incredible beings!”

Luo Chen murmured, his pale golden eyes sweeping around.

His Great Five Elements Sword Formation, under the impact of black fog, was on the verge of collapse.

Suddenly, a faint green light shot over from outside the array.

Clink!

Clink!

Clink!

Clink!

Clink!

Five beams of light in succession, each faster than the last.

Five sword pills were forced to reveal themselves within the formation.

The sword qi cutting in all directions also gradually dissipated at this moment.

Looking up, he saw a colorful-clothed Daoist with a gourd knot hairstyle in the sky, holding a Bronze Mirror, illuminating the Five Elements Sword Pills from afar.

Seeing this, Luo Chen felt a sense of regret, retrieving the Five Elements Sword Pills in one grasp.

”If it weren’t for the difference in quality between the five sword pills, how could it be so easy for someone to discover their true form upon collision.”

”But!”

”Enough!”

A flash of ferocity crossed Luo Chen’s face, as his whole body erupted with immense power, and the Withering and Flourishing Divine Prohibition within quietly unlocked.

A tidal wave of mana fluctuation, terrifying to the extreme, filled the area around the formation, even causing the Heaven and Earth Qi from outside to respond and surge towards him.

Senluo Fire Prison!

With Domain Power augmented, his body transformed into a red light, rushing towards the sky towards the Daoist holding the mirror.

”How could this be, he isn’t suppressed by the formation’s isolation of heaven and earth correspondence?”

”It was the Sword Array just now, temporarily counteracting the isolation power of the Nine Chapters Bone-Eroding Array, thus allowing the gathering of the domain, no longer subject to our array suppression.”

”Second brother, you were exposed!”

In a question-and-answer moment, the eldest, Lu Changsheng, shouted angrily.

Second Brother Lu Changqing naturally understood the current predicament he was in.

In order to break the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, he personally activated the Bronze Mirror, disrupting the Five Elements’ operation, yet his own position was exposed.

Now Luo Chen is charging directly towards him, clearly intending to break the three-sided stalemate.

As long as his side is broken, the Nine Chapters Bone-Eroding Array will crumble without attack.

”Please help me!”

Lu Changqing pleaded for help while gritting his teeth, transforming into a green light and madly rushing through the formation.

The other two did not dare procrastinate, especially the Third Brother, whose Qi Power was slightly inadequate, began spitting Blood Essence to forcibly activate the formation.

”The Seventh Chapter, Bone Melting Qi!”

A deep and profound Black Fog surged out from the Banner, rushing towards Luo Chen.

The stench was extraordinarily pungent.

Luo Chen swallowed a Detoxification Pill, neither dodging nor avoiding, diving headfirst into it.

The Xuan Chen Armor moved naturally, forming inner and outer layers.

Qi Armor spread, continuously wearing down.

Amidst hissing sounds, the Xuan Chen Armor’s body also became pitted.

But Luo Chen forcefully endured this Chapter, his pale gold eyes fixed on a certain point.

”Since you’re already exposed, don’t think you can hide under my watchful eyes anymore!”

With a grim smile, he reached a claw at that spot.

Green light shot out swiftly, delaying the Cloud Probing Divine Claw for a moment, missing its target.

But Lu Changqing’s figure was exposed again.

Luo Chen charged once more.

Mysterious dark winds floated over, soul-corroding, leaving one in despair.

Is this the eighth Chapter?

Luo Chen gained clarity, but had no good doctrinal method to counter it, holding his breath and advancing against the wind.

His powerful Divine Soul Endowment was pushed to the extreme, the Kai Mao Technique constantly unfolding in the Sea of Consciousness, keeping him alert.

His speed noticeably slowed.

But his forward momentum refused to halt!

The three at the formation’s core showed horrified expressions, ”How can this be, Lord Di Tian retrieved the Soul Corrosion Wind from Soulbreak Cliff and yet it cannot erode this person’s Divine Soul, how profound is his Divine Soul Endowment?”

”No, we must not let him free his hands!”

”The Ninth Chapter, come forth!”

The three conferred, no longer hesitating.

Only the sound of breaking flagpoles was heard, a massive amount of Black Fog flew out from the shattered Banner, rushing into the Compass and Bronze Mirror.

With the supplement of Black Fog, the two precious items began to rumble and grow, transforming into enormous objects resembling milling plates.

The two giant milling plates, each rotating in different directions, began crushing towards Luo Chen.

This was the final Chapter of the Nine Chapters Bone-Eroding Array, named by the three brothers as the Yin Yang Mill, capable of erasing a cultivator’s formidable Qi Power and fragile body alike.

Even within the Million Mountains, this move has had illustrious victories, having once eradicated a fearsome Mid-Fourth Order Demon Emperor.

Whoosh...

After enduring the Soul Corrosion Wind, Luo Chen suddenly awoke.

Then he saw two massive milling plates, slowly floating towards him.

They seemed extremely distant, the space vast, offering plenty of room for maneuver.

Yet when he tried to use the Sky Explosion Step and Moon Step, or any methods spanning Ninety Thousand Miles, he felt the space was cramped, making it difficult to move.

”It’s Space Prohibition!”

”This array contains a large number of basic prohibitions, including Space Prohibition, to prevent the enemy from escaping.”

With Luo Chen’s knowledge of the Path of Array, he instantly comprehended everything.

More than that, with his battle awareness, he quickly realized that if he only attempted to flee, he would definitely not escape before the Yin Yang Milling Plates closed in.

”If I can’t escape, then I’ll dismantle it!”

Luo Chen’s eyes glinted fiercely as he pointed a finger at his chest.

The vast Source Energy nurtured for over a hundred years instantly flowed throughout his body.

His form began to expand, growing larger like a Demon Beast revealing its true form.

A giant nine zhang tall appeared in everyone’s sight within a blink.

With no dodging or avoiding, he raised a palm as large as a hill and fiercely slapped it towards a massive milling plate.

Such a scene truly sent chills down one’s spine.

And the most shocking was another deafening sound.

Boom!

In a situation none could have anticipated, endless dazzling light burst forth from the Eight Trigrams Diagram.

The powerful force unleashed onto the nearby Heaven Pillar Mountain.

With a single strike, the most central Heaven Pillar Mountain of Tiandu Sect was snapped at the waist.

The towering mountain, as if broken by a gigantic hand, plummeted towards the earth.

Jinxiu Immortal, reappears in the mortal world!

Not only that, a bright white light shot out from the collapsing mountain range and flew towards the battle group where Jin Ling was situated.

”Be careful, there’s a ghostly evil creature, it swallowed the Nascent Souls of my three fellow disciples!”

Tian Quanzi’s mournful and anguished cries echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
