Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The Centipede Demon Emperor is the weakest among the Nine Great Commanders, yet his infamous reputation is the most widespread!

It sounds contradictory—he’s the weakest among the Nine Demons, so why is his notorious reputation the most widespread?

However, for Luo Chen, this question is easy to understand.

Reputation is something that is never built by one or two people praising you, but through the widespread stories passed down by a large group.

The reason the Centipede Demon Emperor’s infamy echoes throughout the cultivator community is simply that he is a strong figure who pays no attention to conduct.

In numerous battles, he acts with complete disregard, never adhering to the principle of fighting equal opponents.

He specifically avoids the Great Cultivators of the human race and often targets those weaker early and middle Nascent Soul stage cultivators, even showing no hesitation in using Qi Power to kill Golden Core cultivators.

Because of this brutal approach, he has earned himself such a fearsome reputation among countless lower-order cultivators.

During the nine-day-and-night siege of Lingtian Pass, seven Nascent Soul True Masters were killed.

Among them, three died at his hands.

Especially when two Nascent Soul True Masters of the Dark Abyss Sect were casually slain by him, it once prompted True Master Han Yang of Mingyuan to become furious and pursue him for a day and a night.

This demon’s disregard for conduct, besides his own style, is also related to his combat methods.

With just one glance, Luo Chen saw the many magic items on the hundred limbs of the Centipede.

These were definitely not demon-refined magic items.

Instead, they were orthodox magic items crafted by human artifact refiners.

Among them, there were even several items that were of the True Instrument level!

Clearly, this demon mercilessly slaughtered human cultivators and seized their magic items to complement his many arms.

The sound of clanging and rattling rang out as the numerous magic items collided, and the gigantic centipede slowly stood upright, its Divine Consciousness firmly locking onto the unmoving Luo Chen.

”Scared?”

”Don’t be afraid! Once I defeat you, that Blood Sword in your hand will be one of my spoils of war!”

With just one look, the Centipede could see the power of the treasure sword in Luo Chen’s hand, and a strong greed filled its eyes.

Facing this provocation, Luo Chen’s lips curled slightly as he slowly raised the Blood Sword.

”Want it? Then come and get it yourself!”

The next moment, the Centipede charged at Luo Chen with a force that could shake the heavens and the earth.

Qi Power surged, and magic light burst forth.

The multicolored light of the magic items enveloped Luo Chen in an instant.

”Break!”

Luo Chen gave a low shout, and the Yuan Tu Sword slashed out a brilliant Sword Light, scattering the besieging magic items in all directions.

As he soared skyward, Luo Chen frowned once more.

Due to the turbulence of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, he couldn’t manipulate the free Spirit Qi in the void, causing the power of the Yuan Tu Sword to weaken significantly.

Glancing at the pursuing Centipede, Luo Chen executed the Moon Step, narrowly evading the attacks of the magic items while contemplating a countermeasure.

Under such circumstances, an ordinary cultivator’s techniques would likely be greatly diminished in power.

They could only rely on their own Qi Power!

But without external Spirit Qi replenishing it, both high-order magic spells and powerful True Devices would consume a terrifying amount of Qi Power.

From the start, this Centipede Commander abandoned the use of demon techniques, directly revealing his true form for combat, clearly aware of this point as well.

Since that’s the case...

Luo Chen no longer hesitated. With his thumb turned upside down, he pointed it to his chest.

”Transform!”

Boom!

Rolling Origin Force flowed through his body, and Luo Chen’s form began to expand and grow rapidly.

Moreover, the Xuan Chen Armor responded, enveloping his entire body tightly, leaving only a pair of dazzling eyes emitting faint golden light exposed.

In the blink of an eye, a Nine Zhang Giant appeared in the world.

Subsequently, Luo Chen advanced, wielding the Blood Sword, which had also grown tenfold under the enhancement of Qi Power, and fiercely stabbed at the Centipede.

Faced with the charging Luo Chen, the Centipede was unconcerned.

Even if his size had increased somewhat, in its eyes, he was still insignificant.

”Ultimately just an ant!”

A Flying Sword swiftly approached, aiming directly at the back of Luo Chen’s head.

Luo Chen’s figure suddenly flickered, agilely moving to the Centipede’s rear, as the Flying Sword missed its mark.

Two clubs from the left and the right, as well as a stone tablet, launched a pincer attack, but under the horizontal slash of the Sword Light, the two Ascendant Grade Magic Items were directly split in half.

With nothing to stop it, the Yuan Tu Sword pierced straight toward the Centipede’s back.

Clang!

A shield resembling a turtle shell abruptly appeared.

Luo Chen’s expression turned grave, as he exerted great force to accelerate the Treasure Sword in his hand, stabbing fiercely.

”Break!”

Sizzle...

Like a heavy hammer striking, the turtle shell immediately shattered into pieces.

But just as Luo Chen was about to advance further, four giant arms brandishing magic items struck toward Luo Chen from all directions.

Luo Chen dared not take any risks and turned around to sweep a palm through the air, a mighty Qi Power creating a path.

He floated nimbly through the air like a colorful butterfly, then in the next moment, his body burst upward into the sky, both hands gripping the Blood Sword as he slashed down from mid-air!

The Centipede sneered, raising a saber and sword with both arms to block overhead.

Crack!

Upon contact, the saber and sword shattered into powder.

Yet suddenly, a fist enveloped in a silvery light punched out from the Centipede’s chest.

Already exerting his full strength for a sword strike, Luo Chen was caught off guard and took the hit head-on.

Boom!

His chest visibly caved in to the naked eye.

”You’re too inexperienced!” the Centipede laughed wildly, as more magic items flew toward Luo Chen.

Luo Chen remained silent. The Origin Force in his chest circulated, restoring it as before, and then he performed Moon Step to dodge continuously in the air.

Finding an opportunity, he once again advanced within a hundred zhang radius of the Centipede.

A pair of golden pupils continuously rotated, wanting to discern the opponent’s flaws.

However, whenever he relied on his agile speed and the sharp Yuan Tu Sword to seize a local breakthrough opportunity, more magic items would come flying toward him.
