Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1310: Chapter 497: Luotian Internal Fight, Defeat Di Wuqi in One Move

Qiao Chun, was the name of the Third Order Gray Leaf Wolf King that Luo Chen had bought.

The origin of this name came from its opportunity for rise.

Deep in the Savage Mountain, there was an ancient tree that had sprouted Spirit Intelligence after existing for countless years, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and embodying the path where vegetation becomes spirits.

Over a thousand years passed, and this ancient tree had barely reached the realm of Third Order Finalization, only a step away from the Fourth Order Transformation and soaring beyond the earth.

The ancient tree attempted to take that final step.

However, under the Transfiguration Thunder Tribulation, its efforts nearly succeeded but ultimately failed.

Its Spirit Intelligence was destroyed, and its body was left broken, eventually becoming an ordinary, half-decayed Third Order tree struggling to survive in the mountains.

At that time, the Gray Leaf Wolf King was merely at the stage of First Order, its Spirit Intelligence barely awakened and acting purely on instinct.

By a stroke of fate, it discovered the struggling ancient tree.

The instinct of a Demon Beast made it understand that although the essence of the tree spirit had perished, even its remaining broken body offered considerable benefits.

Thus, it made the ancient tree its home, nesting in its hollow.

Hundreds of years passed, advancing from First Order to Second Order, condensing a Monster Pill, refining its demonic power, and eventually smoothly ascending to the realm of a Third Order Wolf King!

It was then that it named itself ”Qiao Chun.”

It thought that after this, despite the vastness of the world, it could proudly howl amid the mountains and The Great River, not foreseeing that despicable Human Cultivators would initiate the Open War.

Summoned by the Wolf Race Emperor, awakening the Heavenly Wolf Bloodline, it joined the war to defend its home.

Regrettably, accustomed to peaceful cultivation and lacking battle experience after years of quiet, it was captured by Human Cultivators after only two battles.

Not only that, but they filled its body with Prohibition, leaving it unable to live or die as it wished.

By that point, it had likely foreseen its own outcome.

It would probably be bought by someone who would enslave it using techniques to subjugate Demon Beasts, after which it would possibly serve as either a mount or a guardian Spirit Beast.

As for being killed for its bones, skin, and flesh?

It hadn’t considered that.

After all, it was still a being of Third-rank Demon King level; Human Cultivators wouldn’t waste it so.

That was fine too!

At least it wouldn’t have to die just yet. Though it was somewhat shameful, as long as it could cultivate until the Transformation Period, a chance might emerge to escape from enemy control.

But!

Qiao Chun could never have imagined that the Human Cultivator who bought it from Moon-Breaking Immortal City appeared to be a paragon of righteousness.

His methods, however, were shockingly cruel and deranged.

He actually used it to practice sinister Techniques!

In the Illusion Technique, there was not only beauty to enjoy but also the deepest fears within one’s heart!

Day by day, sinking into the Illusion Technique, Qiao Chun’s already not-so-strong intellect was nearly shattered.

So much so that in recent years, every time it saw Luo Chen, it shuddered tremendously, almost wishing he would simply finish it off.

”When will these days end?”

Qiao Chun murmured to itself.

Suddenly!

It came to a realization.

Why was the Illusion Technique so short this time?

”Ah...”

A painful, low groan came from not far away.

Qiao Chun dully raised its head, just in time to see that man, who was a nightmare for it, kneeling on the ground with his hands clutching his head, his whole body trembling.

Qiao Chun was slow to catch on and unclear about what had happened.

But its limited memories suggested a guess.

”Has this Supreme Elder of the Luotian Sect gone into a Demonic deviation while cultivating his techniques?”

As this thought abruptly surfaced, Qiao Chun, filled with desperation, gradually harbored a glimmer of hope in its eyes.

It was restrained by Prohibition, unable to use its demonic power.

But the inherent mighty Physique of a Demon Beast was still usable to some extent.

Especially given their proximity!

Just walking over and delivering a powerful bite, snapping that man’s neck...

Gulp!

A clear sound of swallowing saliva came from its mouth.

The instinct to survive, the hope to escape to freedom, led the diminished Wolf King to quietly move towards that nightmare.

Closer!

Closer!

Just one bite!

Slowly, it opened its mouth wide, and a foul, bloody gust flew from its fangs.

Just as it was about to snap Luo Chen’s life away with the swiftness of lightning...

The kneeling man raised his head, staring coldly at it.

”Evil Beast!”

His pale skin, blood-red tears, chains-like black streaks, and those indescribable eyes.

They seemed like the Cold Pool Abyss, yet also like the boundless stars.

With the rise and fall of the moon, the blossoming and withering of flowers, and the rippling of water, endless lights flickered within it.

Just one glance!

Qiao Chun’s mind was entrapped, sinking into it.

Luo Chen, one hand covering his forehead, and the other making a remote gesture, vast clusters of blue flames flew from his fingertips, surrounding the Demon Wolf entirely.

”You cannot be spared.”

Originally, Luo Chen had intended to use this Demon Beast and then enslave it with the ”Ten Thousand Beast Scripture” to guard the sect’s gate after utilizing it.

But considering how this beast still harbored thoughts of revenge after such torment,

Should he be gone, who could tell whether this beast might retaliate against the Luotian Sect?

Especially now, with some anomalies on his own body and needing to undertake Closed-Door Cultivation for a while, he had even less opportunity to suppress it.

Thus, better to kill it!

Under the terrifying burns of the Prosperity and Decline True Fire, Qiao Chun’s body trembled violently, uncontrollably enlarging its form.

The immense pain brought it back from its delusion, but each time it regained consciousness under Luo Chen’s gaze, it fell back into it.

Again and again.

In the valley, the huge Fireball gradually shrank.

Until Luo Chen covered his eyes with a hand, grunting, and finally stopped his actions.
