Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1344: Chapter 507 Ao Xiao’s Defeat

”Friend, we need to gather our sect disciples and take our leave first.”

”Um, let’s meet again later.”

After bowing farewell, Yu Jiaolong and her companion returned to the battlefield, to gather their sect disciples.

Luo Chen, on the other hand, released a wave of Qi power, enveloping the panting Zeng Yilong, and flew to a farther position behind.

”Uncle Master, where are we going?” Zeng Yilong asked, puzzled.

Luo Chen, while looking up at the Nine Heavens, said, ”When Nascent Soul Stage cultivators fight, it shakes the heavens and the earth. The lethal power they possess, and the wide range of its reach are hard to estimate. If we don’t want an accident at the city gate to affect the fishes in the pond, we better keep retreating!”

During their conversation, Luo Chen led Zeng Yilong to a sparsely populated area.

Upon landing, he took out a compass, and following the simple hand signs taught by Min Longyu, activated the array.

A bunch of earthy yellow brilliance soared up and then vanished in an instant.

At that moment, Luo Chen finally let out a sigh of relief, shifting all his attention to the battle above the Nine Heavens.

In fact, the battle between the two Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses had already erupted before he took these actions.

Separated by a large realm, even with Luo Chen’s keen eyesight and strong Divine Consciousness, it was hard to make out clearly.

Yet, the atmosphere of the battle was vaguely discernible.

Luo Chen frowned, ”Why does it seem like they were aiming to kill from the beginning?”

According to their expectations, the Human Clan allied forces had already won the frontal battle; the True Master’s fight was merely a formality.

Everyone aimed for Divine Transformation and Ascension; dying here was truly a loss far outweighing any gain.

If it was explained that True Master Han Zhan, driven by his hatred for the death of Luo Yun Sect disciples and his desire for the cultivation land, pushed himself to his limits, it made sense.

But Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao needn’t have done so.

With his abilities and talents, retreating to the Million Savage Mountains would surely have secured him a place.

Yet now, observing his ruthless and merciless initial moves, there seemed a clear intent to execute Han Zhan.

”Does he intend to change the course of the battle alone, kill Han Zhan, and win this war of opening up new territory?”

”Even if he wins this battle, the Xiao Yue Mountain Range has already greatly diminished in vitality. The next Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect that comes will easily take over the Xiao Yue Mountain Range. Unless the Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao himself guards this domain and withstands endless waves of attacks from human powerhouses.”

”This is neither a wise decision nor a feasible strategy!”

”So, what is he really thinking?”

...

What outgrowth the Wolf Emperor had in mind, no one knew.

At least the one he was fighting, Han Zhan, indeed felt immense pressure.

But this was good!

As he had intended!

With every move, Qi power surged, and the atmosphere between heaven and earth seemed to resonate, drawing free Wood Spirit Qi towards him.

This was the transformation a cultivator underwent upon advancing to Nascent Soul Stage.

Instead of relying solely on their own Qi power for battle, they could leverage their Nascent Soul’s Spirit Pressure to attract and manipulate part of the heaven and earth Qi of the same attributes as their Qi power.

On this basis, they form the most suitable combat domain for themselves.

This domain is known as the Nascent Soul Domain!

At this point, the Spirit Pressure isn’t just a simple deterrent effect, but something that could indeed be used in battle.

Of course, constructing such a domain is influenced by many factors.

To put it simply,

The more Qi power the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator possesses, the more heaven and earth Qi of the same attributes they can mobilize.

At this moment, as Han Zhan’s Nascent Soul Domain unfolded, he felt the Qi power be vigorous and the heaven and earth Qi rich and endless. The Purple Mansion Nascent Soul inside him thrived like a fish back in water.

However!

His domain had just unfolded less than halfway when it was forcibly pushed back by a sharp and strong aggressive aura.

Not far away, Ao Xiao scoffed.

”Dare to show off your Nascent Soul Domain in front of me? Have you forgotten that your realm is weaker than mine?”

He stepped forward, raising both hands.

Swoosh!

Bright golden light burst from his mouth, then expanded and flew towards Han Zhan.

Wherever it passed, the seemingly strong Nascent Soul Domain couldn’t block it at all.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The golden light transformed, revealing countless round gold wheels.

At first glance, they resembled Luo Chen’s Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel.

However, Luo Chen’s flying wheel resembled a crescent, while Ao Xiao’s was full-circle.

This was his Natal Magic Item, a Wheel of Time Gold Wheel, modeled after those of human powerhouses!

He had nurtured this treasure for hundreds of years, and it had been with him through his Transfiguration Thunder Tribulation, almost transforming into a True Device.

With this treasure, Han Zhan’s Nascent Soul Domain was completely shattered.

Han Zhan, naturally, would not sit idly by, raising his hand to deploy Sword Light around him.

The Sword Light flowed, rapidly forming a Sword Array.

The range of the Sword Array was large, seemingly encompassing the Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao.

But the opponent was aware and had been guarding against this move, calmly drifting back, merely controlling the Wheel of Time Gold Wheel from afar to attack Han Zhan.

”Without the aid of a large spiritual vein, the power of your sword array is greatly diminished. Let alone a Five Elements Sword Array, even if you were to utilize a puppet and set up a Taiji Five Elements Sword Array, you wouldn’t be my match.”

With that said, the Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao displayed a cruel smile.

In a situation where the opponent was occupying the advantageous spiritual vein territory, he had no way to deal with Han Zhan.

Thus, when they faced a defeat in the frontline battle and thought the situation was decided, they would easily strike, abandoning the advantageous position.

But in doing so, he once again gained the upper hand!
