Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Zhan Bingtao and Mo Liheng exchanged a glance and couldn’t help staring at each other in dismay.

Next, Fu Qinglan recounted all the discoveries of these years one by one; strung together front to back, especially with the Zhou Family Members being taken away at this critical juncture, everything was corroborating her speculation.

”To reclaim his Life Soul, to pursue the Path of Longevity, even if it is my Tianyuan Daoist Sect in the way, Luo Chen will absolutely never give up! In fact, based on what I know of him, he will exhaust every ounce of power to achieve his goal!”

After listening to this explanation and speculation, Zhan Bingtao’s expression had already become incomparably grim.

”Since there were clues back then, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

”I... I...” Fu Qinglan’s pale lips trembled slightly, shame written all over her face.

Zhan Bingtao slapped the table, smashing the sturdy table into dust.

”Liheng, you’ll guard the Tian Nan Dao Palace!”

”Alright, leave it to me!”

”Qing Lan, recall the Three Hall Masters, and also notify the four True Masters of Wen, Bu, Hu, and Zhai. We’ll rush to the East Yuan Continent immediately!”

”Alright!”

Fu Qinglan answered heavily.

She had to stop Luo Chen. Compared to some inexplicable feelings, the Sect and even her Clan were far more important in her heart.

However!

Just as Fu Qinglan stepped out of the palace hall, the entire earth shuddered with a thunderous boom.

The sudden tremor caught her off guard at a time when her mind was already in chaos; she actually failed to control her body, staggering instinctively for a moment.

Fu Qinglan steadied herself on the door pillar, her face blank with confusion.

”It stopped?”

Under the pull of the Sky Dome Gathering Land Array, the Tian Nan Continent, which was supposed to keep converging toward Heaven and Earth Island, had actually stopped at this moment?

On the East Yuan Continent’s side, what on earth had happened?

...

Time turned back slightly.

Outside the East Yuan Continent, facing toward the Eastern Wasteland.

Luo Chen, dressed in a Black Daoist Robe, stood high in the sky, overlooking the boundless ocean.

A giant turtle, parting layer upon layer of towering waves, slowly surfaced from the unfathomable deep sea.

On its shell, dozens of figures stood tall and proud, each one emanating a powerful aura.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen smiled faintly.

”You’re here.”

The crowd’s expressions were solemn as they spoke in unison: ”We greet the Alchemy Sect!”

Luo Chen nodded. ”Good. Since you’re here, then this battle begins now! I’ll go first. You all follow in afterward—just slaughter and break the Array!”

As his words fell, he turned, facing the direction of the East Yuan Continent.

His ten fingers flew with practiced ease, forming seals and incantations.

Qi Power circulated around his body, his Primordial Spirit resonating with the Great Dao Path of heaven and earth.

One hand formed the Nirvana Seal, the other the Slave Spirit Mark; the two seals merged into one, becoming his famed ultimate technique, Qingyang’s Great Handprint!

He brewed it for a long moment!

As his right palm slowly pushed forward, a tiny hand seal appeared at the edge of the sky.

Only a soft shout came from Luo Chen.

This hand seal slowly flew toward the East Yuan Continent, and along its path it continuously drew in the vast Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, causing the Hand Seal to grow ever larger.

Later on, wherever the Hand Seal passed, great waves surged, the sea parted, revealing a thousand-zhang-deep seabed.

The ocean could not hinder its advance; the land was even less of an obstacle.

The gigantic Qingyang Hand Seal pushed forward all the way, sweeping across thousands, tens of thousands of miles.

Along the way it shattered countless Arrays, destroyed countless mountains; numerous powerhouses of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect appeared, yet beneath this terrifying palm they didn’t even have the courage of mantises trying to stop a chariot, and could only watch helplessly as that enormous Qingyang Hand Seal moved westward from the east, leveling everything in its path.

Until it reached the Daoist Ancestral Court, the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range!

Several figures had already been notified, standing in strict formation, fully activating the Mountain Protection Array.

”Everyone, be careful!”

”That green hand seal, after continuously absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, now wields a might on par with a full-force strike from a Divine Transformation Great Power. It cannot be met head-on.”

”Activate the Mountain Protection Array to block it, then hold the Array Eyes of the Sky Dome Gathering Land Array!”

Amid shouted commands, brilliant Light Curtains rose in succession from within the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Group, turning into wall after wall standing in the inevitable path of Qingyang’s Great Handprint.

Facing all this, Qingyang’s Great Handprint, which could no longer be controlled once unleashed, ignored everything and simply pressed forward.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Layer upon layer of Light Curtains shattered one after another.

The massive Hand Seal, too, gradually shrank amid the repeated impacts.

By the time it truly reached Zuowang Peak in the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range, it was only a trivial palm-sized imprint.

Pa!

That tiny palm struck Zuowang Peak, leaving only a shallow mark.

Seeing this, the many Cultivators of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They had blocked it!

Yet in the very next moment—

A sound of cracking inch by inch eerily spread into countless ears.

Then came an earth-shattering roar, as if fiends from Hell were howling explosively.

”Roar!”

Zuowang Peak, which had stood over the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range for tens of millions of years, collapsed with a thunderous crash under countless incredulous gazes.

A colossal monstrosity, a thousand zhang tall, wreathed in endless Ghost Qi, slowly stood up.

Like a hornless bull, it stood on a single leg.

Its entire body was mottled with sword scars.

In its pair of huge eyes, there was only a crazed desire for destruction.

It looked at the countless dazed Daoist Sect Cultivators and merely opened its mouth to emit a thunderclap-like roar.

”Roar!”

One figure after another fell like rain beneath that roar.

”Everyone, follow me to annihilate this Ghost God and repair the Array Eye with all your strength!”

The Post-Nascent Great Cultivator stationed here bellowed in fury, eyes almost splitting.

Far away, by the coastline—

Under countless reverent gazes, Luo Chen’s expression remained unchanged.

”From here on, it’s up to you.”

His figure gradually faded into the void; a Shifting Array had long been laid here, and when he reappeared, he was already on Heaven and Earth Island.

After he left, the Eastern Wilderness Strongmen exchanged glances, scanned their surroundings, and finally fixed their gaze on that continent now billowing with smoke and seething with upheaval.

Wang Yuan charged ahead, speaking a single heavy word.

”Kill!”

Then, the mass of Cultivators surged forth like locusts, flooding into the East Yuan Continent.

Majestic Glints crisscrossed the sky, vast Domains spread open, and fearsome Qi Power began to pour down on this land that had once been the most prosperous in the entire Mountain Sea Realm.
