Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Its defensive strength, even Luo Chen greatly praised.

At the moment the Golden Scale Armor unfolded, Luo Chen threw an ordinary punch, seemingly slow but actually fast, like a flash of lightning.

Dong!

A dull sound rang out, and Xiao Lin was forced to retreat dozens of zhang away from his seat.

This result was not surprising to Xiao Lin.

Because Luo Chen was too strong. In their previous trials, he often forced Xiao Lin to retreat.

Especially as Luo Chen’s realm grew higher, Xiao Lin couldn’t resist his attacks, and only in discussions of martial arts philosophy could they still speak the same language.

But what surprised Xiao Lin was that in that move just now, Luo Chen hadn’t used any skills.

Yes, no skills at all!

What he used didn’t even incorporate the terrifying power of his physical body.

It was merely a direct output of Gang Qi.

Xiao Lin looked up, only to find that Luo Chen’s right arm was a bloody mess!

This sight made Xiao Lin incredulous.

He had long experienced Luo Chen’s superhuman physical quality. Ordinary attacks couldn’t possibly harm his physical body, let alone with Blood Cloth Clothes always worn outside.

Yet Luo Chen’s simple punch made his own arm explode to such a degree.

He cautiously approached.

”What exactly did you do?”

”Not enough, still not enough.” Luo Chen muttered to himself, then looked down at his arm, where gang qi still lingered, ”No, still not right!”

Xiao Lin took a deep breath, then yelled in a low voice, ”Luo Chen!”

Luo Chen, as if struck by lightning, awoke from his bewildered contemplation.

Looking at Xiao Lin, he managed to say, ”Sorry.”

”I’m fine.” Xiao Lin shook his head, then frowned, ”But you are not!”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Luo Chen’s bloody arm.

Luo Chen smiled, ”No need to worry.”

Then, in the next moment under Xiao Lin’s shocked gaze, Luo Chen’s arm injuries restored in an instant, as if nothing had happened.

Only the tattered sleeve indicated that the scene just now was not an illusion.

”What is this?” Xiao Lin asked in astonishment.

Luo Chen casually explained, ”The characteristic of my physical body, you could also see it as a talent similar to the indestructible body mastered by some Demon Beasts.”

”Demon Beasts?” Xiao Lin was taken aback.

Luo Chen realized that Xiao Lin, who grew up in the Returning Ruins, did not know Demon Beasts, and naturally didn’t know what the indestructible body was.

Xiao Lin frowned and said, ”Do you intend to rely on this physical characteristic of yours to create that move you imagine?”

Luo Chen directly shook his head, denying his guess.

The physical characteristic of his body originated from the time he first advanced to the Primordial Fourth Order, accompanied by the birth of Origin Force.

It appears similar to the Demon Clan’s indestructible body, but essentially, there’s a difference.

He could only achieve blood and flesh rebirth and limb regeneration, as long as the main body remained intact.

Even though he improved this characteristic significantly by cultivating the ”Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra” and undergoing the physical Nirvana of the Nine Tribulations and Three Nirvana, it still couldn’t reach the point of rebirth from a drop of blood.

Moreover, because he dispersed his Source Blood into the Gang Qi, this characteristic was greatly weakened.

So how could he consider self-destructing his physical body for an explosive strike?

Xiao Lin asked puzzled, ”Then how did you make that move just now?”

Luo Chen raised his hand, formed a fist, and then gently waved it out.

The speed was slow, allowing Xiao Lin to see clearly.

At that moment, Xiao Lin clearly observed that the dozens of acupoints on Luo Chen’s arm seemed to come alive, all accompanying Luo Chen’s fist to output Gang Qi.

Only that when slow, he noticed that the frequency was somewhat different, and it did not achieve the strict definition of synchrony.

”Just like this?” Xiao Lin asked, puzzled.

If it’s just like this, what would make it explode with greater strength?

But this time, Luo Chen’s explanation left him baffled.

”Of course not just like this, because at that moment, it wasn’t just one ’me’ throwing a punch, but dozens of ’me’ throwing punches.”

”Uh...” Xiao Lin was puzzled.

Luo Chen smiled and then continued to fall into thought.

Earlier, a thought flashed through his mind.

Relying solely on himself, it was impossible to unleash all his body’s power in an instant.

But what if there were more selves?

Perhaps saying it like this sounds somewhat mystical.

But to put it in layman’s terms—Soul Splitting?

Previously, to avoid attracting the Soul-shaking Thunder Sound from the Returning Ruins due to his enormous Divine Soul, Luo Chen split his Main Soul and cut out one weak Soul Splinter after another, and placed them in the acupoints, wrapped with Gang Qi.

That way, the target was less obvious.

And just now, Luo Chen thought of using the soul splinters in the acupoints to simultaneously drive the Blood Refining Divine Gang and throw a punch.

To prevent any unforeseen accidents, he only used the acupoints on one arm.

The result was both joyful and disappointing.

The joy was that an ordinary punch did indeed have far more power than before, indicating this path was feasible.

But the disappointment was that in the absence of the Main Soul’s ability to mobilize, the soul splinters couldn’t synchronize, causing discrepancies in the punch sequence, and the power not reaching its maximum.

Moreover, most importantly, the soul splinters driving the Blood Refining Divine Gang were too sluggish!

So Luo Chen said not enough, still not enough.

No, still not right!

Xiao Lin observed Luo Chen’s expression and apparently understood that Luo Chen himself was still perplexed, so he didn’t ask further.

After scheduling their next meeting, he then took his leave.

After Xiao Lin left, Luo Chen continued to ponder arduously.

Day after day, year after year.
