Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 665: Chapter 274: Advancement to Middle Stage Foundation Establishment, Mountain Collapse in this Technique! _3

Once he stabilized, few people at his level could see through his true realm.

Luo Chen smiled in satisfaction and walked into the practice arena with Wang Yuan.

...

As far as the eye could see... well, there was indeed a boundary.

On the spacious plain, two figures stood facing each other.

Luo Chen looked at Wang Yuan from afar, with a distance of hundreds of feet between them.

This distance mattered!

Back when Wang Yuan achieved the Blood River Realm in body refinement and finalization in Qi refinement, he was toyed with by Duan Qiankun due to not being able to cross a distance of hundreds of feet.

Now, as a sparring partner, this distance could perfectly measure Luo Chen’s range-controlling strength and how much Wang Yuan had grown after establishing his foundation.

”Come on!”

”Please!”

After a curt exchange of politeness, the two began to fight without hesitation.

With just one step, Wang Yuan traversed tens of feet and entered within hundreds of feet range.

In contrast, Luo Chen backed off by ninety feet, widening the gap.

Wang Yuan displayed a look of surprise.

”Rising Dragon Step?”

”Yes, I’ve just learned a bit of it.”

From afar, Luo Chen let out a slight laugh. With his finger pointed like a sword, dense golden light burst forth.

Seeing this, Wang Yuan shook his head.

His entire body shuddered, and countless Blood Qi Snakes hissed as they rushed out from within his body.

They wriggled and flew, winding around strands of golden light, sometimes consuming them, sometimes inhibiting them, while Wang Yuan’s figure gradually approached.

Luo Chen watched without surprise.

If he could progress, so could Wang Yuan.

This practice battle was not about death or life, but for Luo Chen to employ his previously mastered techniques after breaking through to a new realm, and to test out new ones.

The same went for Wang Yuan.

He needed to battle, to hone his realm after the complementing effects of his Foundation Establishment Stage and Blood River Realm.

Why didn’t Luo Chen look for other sparring partners?

The reason lay in the fact that he also practiced both Qi refinement and body refinement, and only Wang Yuan, who also practiced both, could test his techniques’ strengths and weaknesses.

The two, one advancing and the other retreating, moved as swiftly as the wind, their traces nowhere to be found.

Luo Chen became more and more familiar with using his sword pill.

In this process, he gradually deployed his other offensive techniques as well.

With the sword pill as the principal and Repeated Stamp as the secondary.

Together with the occasional use of the Entanglement Technique and Flying Flame Fireflies, he managed to cause a bit of trouble for Wang Yuan.

As for Wang Yuan, he displayed an explosive power far beyond his usual capacity.

His common weapon was a top-grade magic tool long knife.

This magic tool was something he’d purchased recently from a black market in Tian Lan Immortal City, and it could amplify his burst of Blood Qi perfectly.

With every swing of his knife, it could explode with giant blade energy spanning tens of feet.

Thus, the two of them continued to attack, becoming familiar with their respective techniques.

But clearly, before using stronger techniques, neither of them could defeat the other.

”Your improvement is remarkable!” Wang Yuan ceased fighting and sincerely praised.

Luo Chen laughed heartily, ”I thought that now I’m in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, I could crush you.”

Wang Yuan’s face darkened, ”While you were improving, it’s not like I was sleeping all day. I’ve completely finished the stages of Organ Refinement, Tendon Changing, Marrow Washing, and Meridian Unblocking. Although I’ve only just started the Orifice Unblocking, I have mastered Visible Power in advance. When measured by the realm of the Path of Immortal, I am indeed in the Middle Stage of the Blood River Realm, comparable to a Mid-Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.”

In the steps of Body Refinement, Organ Refinement, Changing Meridian, Marrow Washing are at the early stage of the Blood River Realm.

Meridian Unblocking, Orifice Unblocking are the middle stage of the Blood River Realm.

The four forces of Visible and Invisible Power transformations, however, fall in the late stage of the Blood River Realm.

Wang Yuan had mastered Visible Power in advance and was not exaggerating when he said he was equivalent to a Mid-Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Especially since he was also at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment and had overcome his slow flight speed.

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, ”Shall we use some real techniques?”

”Sure?”

”Yes, and try not to dodge so I can test the power!”

”Alright, you go first then!” Wang Yuan put both hands behind his back, looking as majestic as a grandmaster.

Luo Chen stood his ground!

Fireballs emerged crazily in front of him.

Then they merged into a proud sun, and it seems there were even signs of continuous accumulation.

Wang Yuan was dumbfounded.

He quickly waved his hand.

”Stop, stop!”

”I said stop, stop!”

Luo Chen pinched the Spiritual Secret, causing the Proud Sun to slowly dissipate, leaving behind only a ground permeated with hot Spirit Qi.

Wang Yuan looked at him speechlessly, ”It was fine when you first used the Fierce Sun Technique. I was confident I could take it, but what are you trying to do by continually building up power? Surely you don’t think that I will just stand there and let you do it during a battle!”

”You let me go first!” Luo Chen retorted unabashedly.

Wang Yuan rolled his eyes, ”Fine! I recognize your Fierce Sun Technique. Try something else!”

Luo Chen snorted, and the spiritual secret in his hand switched again.

The next moment.

A gigantic wave of Spirit Qi gushed out from under Wang Yuan’s feet.

Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows, ”What a fast casting speed!”

He swung his sword, and the huge sword qi directly bypassed the wave.

However, the wave didn’t dissipate. Instead, it transformed into two water dragons that roared and flew towards him.

His expression slightly changed, ”Is this a First Order Wave Technique?”

What a joke!

Who has a First Order Wave Technique that’s so flexible?

With his physique, he wouldn’t be hurt if he was swept into it.

But for ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, if they were swept into it, they’d likely be severely injured by the tremendous water pressure.

Even if Wang Yuan wouldn’t be hurt, he didn’t want to end up looking so disheveled.

He frowned and leapt into the sky.

The two water dragons roared in pursuit from beneath him.

But they clearly couldn’t keep up with his speed.

Just as Wang Yuan was about to relax, an idea suddenly struck him.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and slapped his palm!

A massive blood-colored palm print swept across the sky and shot out.

It was heading for a terrifying mountain that had been formed without him noticing.

”Repeated Stamp?”

”No!”

”It’s a First Order Earth Rock Technique!”

The palm print and mountain collided, causing a thunderous explosion sound.

Boom!

Wang Yuan gracefully retreated with a nonchalant manner.

Behind him, the mountain crumbled into ruins!

Looking at Luo Chen in the distance, he said, ”Even though your casting of techniques can be described as exceptional, do you think you can take me on with such First Order Techniques? Aren’t you underestimating me a bit?”

In the distance.

The corners of Luo Chen’s mouth curved upwards slightly.

”I certainly wouldn’t disappoint you, Brother Wang!”

The next moment, his hands suddenly slammed together, and a terrifying spirit power fluctuation exploded out around him.

This action triggered a sudden surge of immense pressure across the battlefield.

Wang Yuan’s face immediately turned pale!

”Something’s not right!”

He tried to retreat, but under the sudden pressure, his speed fell to half its usual pace.

Visibly to the naked eye, three currents of spirit power rose simultaneously from the front, back, and beneath him.

Waves rise again!

Fierce Sun appeared again!

A towering mountain collapsed, roaring down.

An incredibly hot and fierce spirit power surge swept over like a volcanic eruption, ready to wipe everything out.

With the collapse of the mountain.

Thunderous crashes, similar to the sound of thunderclaps, echoed continuously.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The destructive spirit power fluctuation continually rocked amidst the successive crashes.

It seemed as if it was about to kill all creatures within this range by its sheer impact.

Moreover, the once azure waves had unknowingly transformed into fiery red lava, flowing vigorously.

An obscuring cloud of ash quickly engulfed the battlefield.

After a while!

A figure at least seven feet tall, bare from the waist up, walked out from the clouds of ash.

His muscled body, stained with ashes, showed no significant injuries.

From this, it could be seen that Luo Chen had measured his moves well.

”Cough, cough...”

Wang Yuan dispelled his Giant Spirit Transformation, his body gradually shrinking in size.

He looked solemnly at Luo Chen floating in the sky above.

”What Technique is this?”

Luo Chen gave a slight smile, ”This technique is called Mountain Collapse!”
