Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The next moment!

Bang!

The giant charged out like a cannonball, heading straight for the centipede.

The centipede’s face twisted with determination, striking fiercely with its silver-white gloved hands.

Pah! Pah!

The giant’s palms gripped the silver-white arms, then a terrifying force surged forth like mountains collapsing and seas overturning.

The centipede’s eyes filled with horror, realizing that in terms of strength, he was not a match for his opponent.

The massive body was now uncontrollably retreating.

Rumble! Rumble!

Rumble! Rumble!

Several dilapidated palaces crumbled and shattered.

Vast clouds of dust covered the sky.

Splash!

Waves splashed.

The two massive figures fell into Taihu Lake.

Looking down, the centipede saw its arms forcibly pressed into its chest.

Tendons snapped and bones fractured, bringing unbearable pain.

The centipede roared in fury.

”Luo Chen!!!”

Luo Chen responded with a roar.

”Centipede!!!”

Boom!

The rolling waves surged and swept the world.

Thousands of acres of lake water exploded into rain.

...

The vast Taihu Lake, stretching for thousands of miles.

The lake was named after the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect’s Taihu Palace, but its own depth was a complete Fourth-Order water vein.

At this moment, due to the battle between the two mighty figures in the lake, the water vein was turbulent, and a large amount of Spirit Qi was dissipating.

Between heaven and earth, misty rain enveloped the scene.

If it were at ordinary times, it would be an exquisite and beautiful spectacle.

But at this moment, it was merely a simple, direct backdrop for a brutal melee.

In the large lake.

Luo Chen and the centipede engaged in a straightforward, unadorned battle.

No techniques clashing, no flying sky and ground escape, just fists and feet.

The giant swung its palm, double peaks adhered to ears, then followed with iron elbow on mountain, then gathered origin force into a blood-colored light ball and unleashed a palm strike.

The centipede stepped on the waves, retreating with a bang.

One magic item after another was hurled towards Luo Chen under the centipede’s control.

Yet Luo Chen didn’t even glance at them, allowing them to land on his body.

Axes and blades struck, but the black armor remained unmoved.

Flying swords and spears pierced, but muscular sinews rebounded.

The centipede looked at this scene in shock, unable to believe it.

Their Demon Clan’s Body Refinement Method had a unique physical advantage.

But how could a Human Clan achieve such a state?

Even when the centipede summoned a True Device flying sword from the Dark Abyss Sect, piercing through the defense of the black armor, it could not advance under the clamping of hard bones and terrifying muscles.

The centipede’s heart hardened, holding a sword in one hand, beckoning with the other towards the distance.

”Mountain come!”

The giant mountain brushed away by Luo Chen earlier, flew back with a rumble, smashing toward Luo Chen.

Faced with this scene, Luo Chen grinned savagely, opening his mouth to spit.

The Primordial Chaos Tripod spun out, growing in the wind, transforming into a giant a hundred feet tall.

Usually, the hundred-foot-tall Primordial Chaos Tripod seemed like a small mountain, but now in Luo Chen’s hands, it was so light.

He wielded the giant cauldron, swinging it.

Poom!

A heavy sound echoed, sending the giant mountain flying back again.

A sky-high sword light slashed from the centipede’s hand.

Luo Chen swung the Yuan Tu Sword, using origin force instead of Qi power to unleash a vast sword light.

Clang!

At this moment, both sides abandoned other means.

Luo Chen’s Qi power was sealed, powerless, relying solely on his powerful physical body and Xuan Chen Armor.

The centipede’s ordinary magic items were useless against Luo Chen, wasting Qi power and divine consciousness.

Only!

With each wielding a sword, they slashed at each other.

One cauldron, one mountain, summoning and hurling.

During this continuous collision, the tremendous counterforce caused both organs to creak, even spitting blood.

By comparison, Luo Chen seemed much better; his organs nurtured for years by the Thousand-year-old Five Temple Immortal Brew, had become extraordinary.

Yet even so, in this repeated clash, it turned into a pure exchange of injuries.

Misty rain veiled, sun and moon without light.

Unknowingly, the fierce battle had reached deep into the night.

Following another collision.

Boom!

The Centipede looked in disbelief at the falling rocks like rain.

The True Device mountain, which he valued greatly, was smashed by the other’s Giant Cauldron.

”Destroyed my treasure, damn it!”

With both hands tightly gripping the sword hilt, the True Device Flying Sword from the Dark Abyss Sect received a surge of Qi Power, swelling fiercely before slicing down.

Luo Chen tossed the Primordial Chaos Tripod high into the air and then swung the Yuan Tu Sword.

Boom!

Once again, there was no decisive winner.

However, during this collision, something left the Centipede stunned.

He slowly lifted his hand, looking at the treasured sword in it.

Broken!

The True Device personally refined by a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator from the Divine Transformation Holy Land was broken?

Luo Chen coldly watched this scene, knowing his temporary change in combat style was effective.

In front of the countless magic items of the Centipede’s many arms, flexibility was actually a flaw.

Only by going head-to-head could one directly confront the opponent’s weaknesses!

Indeed, this Centipede Demon Emperor was proficient in many magic items, seemingly skilled in offense, defense, control, suppression, and ambush without a flaw.

In truth, he was an expert in all but skilled in none.

His Divine Soul was not outstanding, and the magic items varied in strength.

Especially those treasures, none were personally refined and nurtured by the Centipede, but acquired through craft and plunder.

As long as he’s pushed into head-to-head battles, these minor flaws will keep magnifying!

As for his five-hundred-zhang giant appearance, it was actually his true form!

The usual nine-zhang physique was simply the optimal form for dealing with the Human Clan Cultivators.

As long as he was willing to use Origin Force, he could transform into a giant of a hundred zhang.

”This battle has dragged on too long.”

”Let it end!”

Luo Chen formed the sword finger with one hand, raised the Blood Sword with the other, and took large steps toward the Centipede.

The murky lake water stirred in response.

The Centipede’s expression changed, and he turned to escape.

”Last time, the Seven Rhinos escaped, how could I let the tiger return to its mountain this time!”

Luo Chen struck with his sword.

The Centipede’s body was severed midsection.

Just then, a golden light shot from his body, breaking through the air.

Swoosh!

In an instant, it landed on Luo Chen’s brow.

The colossal giant, holding the gigantic Blood Sword, stood dazed in Taihu.

Clear moonlight fell upon him, as if draping him in a sheer veil.

From the giant Centipede split in two, a figure crawled out with difficulty.

He gasped for breath, staring at Luo Chen, revealing a look of lingering fear.

This guy wasn’t an Immortal Cultivator?

He was clearly a damn Savage Beast!

Even more troublesome than those in the Wilderness because of his mastery over magic items!

If not for having a backup plan, he would have met his end here tonight.

”Luckily, I nurtured a Soul Weaving Needle during my transformation, although not mastered, its power is average. But unexpectedly, ordinary people cannot resist it. Especially with his Qi Power sealed by me, he can only wait for death.”

The Centipede slowly stood up, ready to collect his remaining body.

But a glance caught from the corner of his eye froze him completely.

The motionless giant, with his left hand forming the sword finger, was raising it slowly.

A surge of Mana Fluctuation, impossible to conceal, spread out.

”How could it be...”

The Centipede swallowed hard, disregarding his remaining body, and fled toward the sky in panic.

At this moment!

From the murky Taihu, a giant python broke through the lake surface, opened its menacing jaws, and screeched at the Centipede.

Struck by this, the Centipede’s Divine Soul paused.

Although he instantly broke free from the influence, it was already too late.

A finger, lightly pointed, pressed on his body across the space.

Without the body to shelter, how could this mere Nascent Soul withstand the Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger!

Instantly, the originally tender Centipede Nascent Soul shriveled.

The Qi Power condensed by the Nascent Soul began to uncontrollably dissipate.

The Centipede dumbly watched this scene, unwilling to accept his fate.

”Why is he unaffected by the Soul Weaving Needle, it clearly hit the brow, entered the Sea of Consciousness?”

”When was his Qi Power unsealed, how can he use Divine Capability Art?”

”Why does he have aid within Taihu, that phantom shadow seems like the Nine Nether Charm Python, but that guy was long dead?”

Endless questions culminated in a single thought.

”I shouldn’t have stopped.”

Splat!

A generation of Demon Emperor’s Nascent Soul scattered like bubbles, vast Qi Power vanished naturally like withering grass and didn’t even incite a Spirit Qi storm.

The still turbulent Taihu, only the giant stood beneath the bright moon.

The giant’s coarse, rock-like fingers slowly loosened, rotated his neck, and looked down at the rolling lake water.

A phantom shadow of a giant python swam toward him, but hesitated and stopped timidly as it approached.

”Master?”

The giant grinned, smiling broadly.
