Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1014: Chapter 408: Fire Spirit Lord Rampages Across the Battlefield, Flame Alliance’s Golden Core Strikes Boldly

The battle erupted in an instant!

Without any hesitation or delay, when the Seven-color Danxia Array had been depleted over consecutive days and had fallen under the barrage of several powerful strikes, it declared that this attack and defense battle had reached the point of close combat!

Compared to the hasty attacks by the Flame Alliance’s vassals, Luo Tian Creed was clearly well-prepared.

Although they could have held out for three more days, at Luo Chen’s signal, they deactivated the array two days early.

This meant that they had made preparations in advance and had already seized the initiative.

Looking down at the foot of the mountain, where countless lower order cultivators were charging from all over.

Zhou Yuanli led the Law Enforcement Hall cultivators, in charge of commanding the three thousand Luo Tian Creed sect disciples.

One spirit consciousness transmission after another issued from his mouth.

”Qin Liangchen, prepare for the first round of talisman attacks!”

”Yes!”

A loud cry, unmasked and low, came from Qin Liangchen as he led the external sect cultivators to unleash a large number of talismans that had been prepared in advance.

The next moment.

Fireballs, Wind Blades, Ironwood, and Boulders...

All sorts of miscellaneous low rank talismans, used as if they cost nothing, were triggered, thunderously smashing out.

Just one encounter, and it dealt a heavy blow to the hundred cultivators at the forefront.

”Feng Xia, prepare for the second round of talisman attacks!”

”Yes!”

In the southeast corner, Feng Xia’s face was fierce, and with a sweep of her long sleeves, the cultivators of the Spirit Medicine Hall immediately set off a large number of talismans they had prepared.

A scene like the previous one appeared once more.

Movement in Zhou Yuanli’s ear on the front line, it was the voice of Sima Hui Niang from the Luo Tian Main Hall.

”To the northwest, a large group of Qi Refinement cultivators have broken through the defense line and are charging up.”

Without changing his expression, Zhou Yuanli immediately waved the big flag in his hand.

As the wind and clouds surged, he jumped into the air.

”Yuan Xiaoyue, use your techniques!”

A cute female voice came from afar.

”Yes!”

The next moment, many female cultivators from the Golden Hall released a large array of colorful lower order spells, which bombarded the ground thunderously.

For a time, wailing was everywhere.

Even among the Qi Refinement Cultivators, those with outstanding defense and those with extreme speed, they couldn’t hold up or escape under this kind of area attack.

Just at the very beginning of the engagement, the leaderless Qi Refinement cultivators of the Flame Alliance vassals suffered heavy losses.

This scene, of course, fell into the eyes of Zheng Xian in the distance.

His expression darkened slightly, and he immediately issued a command, ”Send three people to kill that Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator commanding the battle!”

The next moment, two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from the Zheng Family charged towards Zhou Yuanli under the leadership of Zheng Kejian.

In the face of this, Zhou Yuanli remained calm and composed, as if he wasn’t the least bit flustered.

Before those three even got close, three figures also leaped out from behind him.

Newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Combat Hall, Gui Jiang, Su Xiaolin, and Li Yingzhang.

Facing the three who were approaching, the refined Li Yingzhang held the Chi Dragon Sword, which he had recovered.

That was obtained by Luo Chen from Yan Leizi’s storage bag.

In the past, it was Yan Leizi who had seized his family’s treasure sword using the Earth Fire Evil Qi.

Holding the Chi Dragon Sword, Li Yingzhang’s expression was calm, seemingly undisturbed by the battle at all.

”Leave Zheng Kejian, who is at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, to me. You two deal with the other two,” he said.

Concern crossed Su Xiaolin’s face, ”But you’re only at the second layer of Foundation Building...”

Before he could finish, Li Yingzhang had already met Zheng Kejian head-on.

In the initial exchange, their Flying Swords clashed.

Contrary to expectations of a swift defeat, Li Yingzhang managed to hold his own.

Su Xiaolin’s eyes brightened, thinking how strong Li Elder’s spirit power was, holding off despite being two small realms lower.

He had only seen such intensity of spirit power before on the body of the Early Stage Foundation Establishment president.

But surprise was momentary, for the battlefield allowed no complacency; he immediately engaged one of the Zheng Family cultivators.

Behind them, Zhou Yuanli watched this scene with cold eyes.

He heard the urgent call of Liu Qiang at his feet.

”Some Qi Refinement cultivators have broken into Danxia Peak!”

Zhou Yuanli waved his hand dismissively, ”Focus on killing the enemy; don’t worry about this.”

Liu Qiang raised his eyebrows, pushed back the enemy, and glanced back.

He saw vines entwined upon the hills, rice turned into swords, and large Luo Tian Creed Spirit Fruit exploding like cannonballs.

Killing, fire, spreading over the continuous Danxia.

”Even the Agronomy Hall joined the battle?”

”Yes, Granny Yuan was once very adept at using the Spirit Planting Technique in battle, relying on terrain to once drive back Elder Min.”

”Yuan Dongsheng, her successor, is now no less capable. Under his leadership, the Agronomy Hall cultivators will make quick work of these stragglers—they’re nothing but lambs to the slaughter!”

With a sense of relief, Zhou Yuanli once again propelled his magic tool to assist other Luo Tian Creed cultivators.

At this moment, seen from above, the respective battle strategies were clear.

The Flame Alliance’s vassals brought a thousand Qi Refinement cultivators, all of whom were battle-hardened and in the Middle to Late Stages of Qi Refinement.

But they had no one to command them, focused only on mindless charging.

Luo Tian Creed had a total of three thousand Qi Refinement cultivators with varying levels of cultivation realms.

But under Zhou Yuanli’s command, the weaker ones stayed back, attacking the enemy from a distance with spells and talismans.

Even if they were assaulted up close, they also relied on terrain to evade.

In the front, the Combat Hall’s battle cultivators took the brunt of the pressure as the main force.

Aided by a large number of external sect disciples, Spirit Beast Hall cultivators, and a few Merit Hall cultivators.

In the middle were the intelligence cultivators trained by Su Xiaolin and the enforcement team cultivators under Zhou Yuanli’s command.

This group, although not the strongest, was nimble and agile.

Wherever a breach appeared, they filled it in.

Wherever they had an advantage, they pushed forward, expanding their victory.

After a sweep, they would rush straight to the next battlefield like the elements of wind and forest, fire and mountain.

Thus, the inside and outside of the three layers formed an orderly structure, and the battle was well-coordinated.
