Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1136: Chapter 446: Avalanche, Mountain Collapse, Myriad Pythons Collapse (Thanks to Master Cat’s League for the reward and additional updates)

At the foot of a towering snow-capped mountain.

A figure emerged from a cave at the base of the mountain.

After coming out, he who had intended to flee suddenly stopped midair, his expression constantly changing.

Finally, clenching his teeth, he said fiercely, ”Given Luo Chen’s vindictive nature, he will not let go of his grudge against me. If I leave now, given his speed, it will not take long for him to catch up with me in the open.”

”Enough!”

”Since this battle has started, it must be seen through to the end!”

Taking a deep breath, He Lianyun pulled several objects out of his storage bag in succession.

”The traps I set in the tunnel, seven did not trigger, only three did, such Foundation Establishment techniques will likely have no effect on him.”

”So, I can only rely on these things now.”

An elixir!

A talisman!

A brick-shaped magic item!

He Lianyun immediately swallowed the elixir.

As the medicinal power refined within his body, waves of intense heat churned unceasingly from his Sea of Qi. His already perfected Foundation Establishment realm became unstable under this impact, his aura fluctuating wildly, and soared a fair bit past Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization.

Although still a long way from the Golden Core Period, compared to a rumored False Core Cultivator, he wasn’t much different.

More medicinal power continued to shock his system, but He Lianyun could no longer refine it.

A trace of regret flashed across his face.

After taking this pill, he feared he wouldn’t be able to attempt advancing his realm for ten years, and his Core Formation would also have to be postponed.

But in this dire moment, he could no longer afford to care about that.

Exhaling a breath of Turbid Qi, He Lianyun channeled the surging Spirit Power into the gold brick and lifted it with both hands.

The Golden Brick Magic Item then flew into the clouds above the snowy mountain.

Then, he continuously formed hand seals, his talisman in a semi-activated state.

Not only that, he buried three Soul Breaking Nails deep into the snow.

A flash of light appeared on his body and the sound of waves crashing jumped into his ears.

”Sacrificing oneself as bait, luring the enemy forward.”

”Three deadly moves await, even if a Golden Core Cultivator comes here, I can make him regret it!”

When He Lianyun was prepared, he hadn’t yet had the time to calm his turbulent emotions.

A bursting sound then erupted from under the snowy mountain.

He Lianyun’s eyes widened as he bellowed.

”Luo Chen, dare you kill me!”

With his fierce shout, the Flying Sword in his hand suddenly flew out.

At the base of the mountain.

Luo Chen, seeing He Lianyun ready to fight to the death, was surprised.

He thought he would have to chase him for a while after coming out.

He hadn’t expected that the other party wouldn’t just flee, but was actually waiting for him.

”Well, since you’re seeking death, I will fulfill you!”

Luo Chen shouted lightly, waved his robe, and amidst the raging wind, the incoming Flying Sword was diverted by several inches.

This Flying Sword Magic Item had clearly not been meticulously refined.

Otherwise, its power would not be so weak.

Then, he leapt into the air, flying toward He Lianyun.

In the process, his Xuanhuo Sword swung continuously, shooting out streams of fiery meteors.

Yet, each fiery meteor mysteriously vanished just before reaching He Lianyun, as if devoured by something.

Luo Chen concentrated his Spirit Power in his eyes, and finally saw what the elusive shimmer of water was.

A painting scroll, unfolding from nowhere, enveloped He Lianyun within it.

A Water Type Defense Magic Item!

”Indeed, the Ze Guo Kui Map of Nangong Jin is in your possession!”

He Lianyun scoffed, ”So what? Precious items should belong to those destined to possess them. He was merely an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator who carried treasures; he simply met his fate.”

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

He knew Nangong Jin had died on the battlefield of Accumulation Thunder Mountain and thought it was just bad luck.

Now, it seemed there was this old rascal’s trickery involved.

”What, you want to avenge your fellow countryman?” He Lianyun taunted Luo Chen.

”Misfortune invites itself, and it is solely summoned by one’s actions. Although he and I had old ties, they weren’t significant. However...”

Luo Chen shook his head and softly said, ”The recompense of good and evil follows as surely as a shadow follows the body. Originally, this treasure was my friend’s family heirloom, today your luck has run out, better give it back to me!”

As he spoke, the tip of his sword rose slightly, with faintly surging Spirit Qi Fluctuations.

Seeing this, He Lianyun’s expression changed instantaneously.

Fierce Sun Technique!

He had heard of Luo Chen’s combat techniques; the opponent could now deploy powerful spells traditionally and complexly without shaping talismans with his hands.

And the opponent’s most proud fire type technique was renowned across the Yu Ding Realm.

Without any hesitation, he controlled his sword to flee, turning around to escape.

Watching his fleeing figure, Luo Chen was stunned, wasn’t this supposed to be a decisive battle to the death?

Luo Chen’s wings trembled behind him as he pursued at high speed.

The distance between them rapidly closed.

”Old fellow, you almost had me deceived.”

Luo Chen swung his Xuanhuo Sword, and the gathered Fierce Sun Technique was immediately released.

Dazzling golden light exploded in an instant.

As He Lianyun focused solely on fleeing, he stretched the Ze Guo Kui Map to its limits in desperation.

The scroll unfolded, its insides roiling tumultuously as if forming its own vast ocean.

The explosive power of the Fierce Sun was completely absorbed by it.

Luo Chen had anticipated this outcome.

Water overcomes fire, especially since his opponent had somehow greatly enhanced his strength.

Thinking that a hastily formed Fierce Sun Technique could kill him was wishful thinking.

However, as long as he could stop the opponent, what followed...

”No, wait!”

Luo Chen suddenly looked up.

The dazzling golden light wasn’t from the Fierce Sun Technique!

A huge gold brick, like a meteor, thundered down.
