Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Great Five Elements Sword Formation!

The formation map is derived from Han Zhan’s improved Taiji Five Elements Sword Array, eliminating the need for puppet swordsmen and replacing them with Sword Pills.

The Sword Pills for the formation were gathered from Feiyun Zi of the North Sea, Master Li from the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, and Lin Qingxuan of the Yu Ding Sword Sect.

Unfortunately, due to the varying levels of the Sword Pills, the array always had flaws.

In previous battles, when Luo Chen deployed this sword formation, he could never completely achieve victory.

It wasn’t until recently, during Cang Long’s tribulation-transcendence, that Luo Chen harnessed the power of the Heavenly Thunder to refine three of the Sword Pills to the True Device level, completing the perfect sword formation envisioned by Han Zhan.

And the first battle of this newly formed sword array was against Luo Chen’s long-standing enemy!

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Five Sword Pills darted into the void like swimming fish.

The next moment, Sword Light blazed brilliantly!

Centered on the enemy True Master Shenyuan, countless Sword Silk erupted, spreading in all directions like a weaving loom.

The Sword Silk transformed endlessly, crisscrossing and cutting toward True Master Shenyuan.

The crystal Flying Sword was a True Device painstakingly refined by True Master Shenyuan for hundreds of years, its killing power rivaling his five-colored pagoda.

Yet within this Great Five Elements Sword Formation, it seemed to lose its direction.

Although the Flying Sword dashed left and right, cutting countless Sword Silk, the silk continued ceaselessly, showing no signs of diminishing.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The Sword Silk struck, leaving deep marks on the Divine Essence Protective Treasure Clothing.

The hat covering his head was directly torn apart, revealing his strange and contradictory face.

”So sharp?”

True Master Shenyuan’s pupils shrank, never imagining the sword formation’s power to be so fierce.

He didn’t know that although the sword formation originated from Han Zhan, its potential far exceeded his expectations. Luo Chen had incorporated that top-grade Nine Yang Geng Metal into it, making the sharpened Sword Silk created by the Sword Pills incomparable to almost any other artifact in the world, save for a few precious items.

Luo Chen flicked his ten fingers, casting the sword technique rapidly, the complete Great Five Elements Sword Formation giving him a satisfying feeling.

Finally, no more flaws!

He no longer had to worry about the enemy exploiting any weaknesses.

Since Shenyuan Old Thief has entered the sword formation, he should await his death!

But when he saw the face under the opponent’s hat, Luo Chen paused for a moment.

”Changed!”

”Not this face!”

He remembered clearly that during their last encounter, the face under the hat was another person’s, rumored to resemble the deceased True Master Lin Mu.

But now, this face reminded Luo Chen more of... Old Ghost Mo Tian?

”You’re distracted!”

With a sinister laugh, the crystal Flying Sword transformed into a rainbow light, enveloping True Master Shenyuan as it broke through the layers of Sword Silk, attempting to burst out of the formation.

Luo Chen frowned, suppressing his doubts, and swiftly changed his sword technique with a low shout.

”Slash!”

The next moment, countless Sword Silk converged, forming an enormous golden light sword.

As Luo Chen’s sword gesture shot forth, the light sword followed, slashing down.

Faced with this sword, Shenyuan’s eyes bulged with fury, yet he did not retreat but advanced, flicking his fingers.

”Go!”

The crystal Flying Sword enveloping him shot forth, countering the enormous golden sword with its small body.

Clang!

The sound of clashing swords echoed in all directions.

In an instant collision, boundless power erupted.

The Great Five Elements Sword Formation was forcibly blasted open, breaking without a strike.

The five Sword Pills spun back, while Luo Chen grabbed them without any dissatisfaction about the formation being broken.

For the enemy’s losses were more than satisfying for him.

Crack, crack, crack...

A cracking sound secretly emanated.

Shenyuan held the sword hilt, his face flushed red.

The next moment.

Pfft!

A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out, and the crystal Flying Sword, connected to his Divine Soul, fractured into pieces.

This Flying Sword was not a nameless entity.

Forged by a top-tier Tool Casting Master from countless precious materials, it had been painstakingly nurtured for centuries, surviving even the great battle at Cangwu Mountain.

Yet now, it was destroyed under Luo Chen’s sword formation.

”Damn thing!”

Ignoring the intense pain in his Divine Soul, Shenyuan exploded in rage, pointing a finger at Luo Chen.

Misty azure light suddenly burst forth!

This move again?

Luo Chen recalled this move; last time, the opponent used it to battle his Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger to a standstill.

Back then, he thought it was a Divine Capability Art.

But now, it seemed both right and wrong, more like...

”I see!”

Luo Chen mused, raising his hands, a Fire Phoenix soaring from his back, carrying unparalleled power as it shrieked towards the misty azure light.

Azure and red collided in the void.

The misty halo incessantly invaded the opponent, expanding continuously, causing the heavens and earth to shake, with the formidable divine sect’s core being struck by the fierce aftermath.

As Luo Chen watched the clash of these two techniques, his suspicion was fully confirmed.

In comprehending the Fire Origin, he discovered techniques corresponding to the attributes also enhanced.

At that time, he thought it was the Law’s True Intent blending in.

Later he found it wasn’t.

The techniques in that state were above ordinary techniques, yet slightly below Great Divine Powers.

It was merely that the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi followed suit, enhancing ordinary techniques, amplifying their power.

True Divine Powers can truly integrate and confirm with the Law’s True Intent.

Evidently, Shenyuan Old Thief had not comprehended the Law’s True Intent; he merely fused ordinary techniques with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, thereby causing a qualitative change.
