Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

On the boundless and desolate desert, ridges rise and fall.

Under the night sky, the winding ridges crisscrossing like lines form a circle.

As dawn approaches, the gentle sunlight gradually spills down, revealing the scene within.

The ridges stretch for hundreds of miles, indeed forming a deep valley.

From the outside, it looks almost indistinguishable.

Only from above, looking down, can one understand the sheer number of Demon Beasts entrenched inside.

At this moment, meant for resting in slumber, the thousands of demons suddenly awaken.

Because from the void comes a series of explosions, drawing ever closer.

Leading them is a Great Demon, dressed in a silver-lined black robe, long face and hawk nose, reacting extremely swiftly.

Upon the first instant of the explosion, he suddenly awakens.

His face is a mix of shock and anger, ”Could it be that our gathering of forces in Sand Trap Valley to ambush Five Platforms Temple has been discovered?”

He soared into the sky, divine consciousness spreading outward.

His face then turns pale as can be, for another even more formidable divine consciousness, like a boundless sea, smoothly approaches, containing a monstrous killing intent that chills to the bone.

”Divine Transformation Great Power?”

The black-robed Great Demon shivers all over, turning to flee without hesitation.

Within Sand Trap Valley, a hundred thousand Demon Beasts stare blankly at the scene, not understanding why Lord Silver Refining Roc suddenly leaves.

Instinctively, they turn to look in the opposite direction.

Soon after, a somewhat disheveled figure appears in the sky above Sand Trap Valley.

As their eyes meet, the demons suddenly realize.

Human Clan?

The next moment!

Whoosh!

Sharp explosion sounds erupt suddenly, as the bare-chested man casually raises his hand, sending forth the blood-red sword.

The blood-red sword comes breaking space, transforming into a long rainbow, taking countless lives instantly.

”Roar!”

”Woo woo!”

In an instant, chaos engulfs the valley.

All kinds of demon beasts attempt to soar into the sky, escaping their prison.

The bare-chested man has only one arm, after releasing the sword, as if creating space.

He forms a seal with one hand, pointing to the sky.

In the desert, supposed to be cloudless for miles, as day and night begin to differentiate, a blurred white cloud suddenly gathers.

The demons are puzzled.

Then within the boundless white cloud, a massive eye suddenly opens.

Blood-red all over, golden light dazzling.

It is the Red Eyes Golden Pupils!

The cloud eye opens, emitting a misty glow, calming the previously panicked demons who were fleeing.

But while they are calm, the blood-red sword remains anything but.

A round of sword light continuously expands, continuously grows, reaching ten miles, twenty miles, a hundred miles...

Where it passes, a blood mist scatters.

In its midst, the blood-red sword endlessly consumes the abundant blood mist, becoming ever more sinisterly vibrant, its entire blade resembling glaze.

This process, though seemingly long, actually occurs within a few breaths.

Having completed all this, the bare-chested man’s breath weakens to the extreme.

His entire being barely shows any mana fluctuations.

The eyes, originally pure, uncontrollably shed two lines of blood tears.

He slowly turns, looking to the path he came from.

”Qing Shuang, can you take this sword?”

”Caw!”

A cry, piercing through clouds and mist.

A majestic Cyan Simurgh crosses space, intending to strike upon seeing Luo Chen’s ghastly appearance and the Asura Purgatory-like scene behind him, a tremor in its heart.

Yet the raging killing intent in its mind refuses to dissipate.

”Even if it ruins this Dao cultivation, I’ll kill you!”

In the shrill cry, a hazy cyan light pours forth from her entire being.

A crescent-like pitch-black fissure appears slowly before her, stretching a hundred zhang long.

Again, the same move!

Subspace Slash!

Upon releasing this move, Qing Shuang seems unable to sustain further, her large form dramatically shrinking, returning to human form.

Subspace Slash steadily advances, consuming all in its path.

Although the speed seems unbearably slow, as if one could easily sidestep it.

Yet having suffered greatly from this move before, losing an arm, Luo Chen understands its mysterious nature well.

Unless speed surpasses Qing Shuang, and mastery of Space Dao is achieved, no amount of evasion can escape this move.

But he never intended to run away!

The one arm rises, two fingers pointing out.

”Go!”

Whoosh!

A sword light rises from deep within the valley behind him.

Endless blood energy, transforming into a blood-red long rainbow, tails behind the Yuan Tu Sword, rushing towards the hundred zhang black line.

Demon blood slays the Azure Phoenix of ten thousand!

Closer!

Closer!

The two meet instantly.

No earth-shattering sound occurs, nor much dazzling brilliance unfolds.

Merely a silent and soundless vanishing.

The black fissure ravenously devours endless sword qi.

The blood-red sword frantically attacks the enigmatic divine power.

Luo Chen’s lips remain sealed, his face like eternal ice, his overwhelming divine soul exerting full control over this sword.

This sword is his use of Cloud Chess Water Mirror combined with Red Eyes Golden Pupils to exhibit Mirror Flower, Water Moon, temporarily controlling the ten thousand demon beasts, then raging slaughter with the Yuan Tu Sword to coalesce.

This move, however, originates from the Fifth Order Sword Manual ”Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture” within ”Thousand Clouds Flowing Together.”

His Sky Qi is long exhausted, hence he can only use Demon Beast blood energy as substitution.

Thus, controlling becomes extremely difficult, already grievously wounded, even more teetering on collapse.

But he cannot fall!

Cannot fall here!

Hui Niang, Caiyi, son, friends, disciples, old companions... and that one step short Longevity!
