Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1354: Chapter 510: Are You Luo Chen?

In the pitch-dark dungeon, the solemn quietness was accentuated by the deep breathing sounds.

This silence had persisted for a long time.

Until, a disheartened sigh completely shattered it.

Cultivators trapped in individual cells all looked up simultaneously toward where the sound originated.

”Hao Ranzi, my friend, how goes it?”

”Can you lift the prohibition?”

There were voices, but even more were those who looked on eagerly.

Facing these inquiries, Hao Ranzi gave a bitter smile, ”Impossible, the Golden Core within me is completely silent; I can’t mobilize any Qi Power.”

”You are the most profound in cultivation among us, just a step away from Golden Core Great Finalization. If even you can’t break the prohibition, then we are mere fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others,” stated the Moon God Envoy from the Star Moon Temple.

Hao Ranzi shook his head. ”You all are overestimating me. That person could make the five Nascent Soul True Masters flee upon hearing of her arrival. I’m just a Golden Core Cultivator; how can I possibly lift a prohibition personally cast by her?”

Upon mentioning that person, everyone’s expression changed.

What it meant to make the five Nascent Soul True Masters flee upon seeing her— even if they hadn’t personally reached that realm, they could imagine.

Among Han Zhan’s group of five, there were no weaklings.

Whether it was Tian Yezi, who possessed the Wind and Thunder Dual Hetero Genius and had numerous techniques, or True Master Yu Ding, who had cultivated the Path of the Sword to perfection over hundreds of years, both were absolutely powerful figures in the Eastern Wasteland Immortal World.

Even judging purely by realm, He Qingzi’s cultivation was comparable to a Mid-Nascent Soul Stage.

With such a combination of five people, let alone ordinary Nascent Soul True Masters, even those of the Mid-Nascent Soul Stage would remain unafraid!

Yet, such a contingent merely saw that woman step forward and chose to flee without any regard.

From this, one could imagine the strength of that woman!

She was undoubtedly a Great Cultivator of the Late Nascent Soul Stage!

Even within the Late Nascent Soul Stage, she was among the top echelon.

They did not know the aftermath of the battle.

But True Master Yun He was annihilated with one strike, without even a chance to escape with his Nascent Soul.

Such lightning-quick methods were simply unimaginable.

It was only natural for Hao Ranzi to feel this way.

Wei Wuya from Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect Mo Tian Cliff, utterly puzzled, said, ”It’s true that the Million Savage Mountains are filled with numerous powerful Demon Clan members. But the techniques of that woman seemed quite simple, yet tremendously powerful. Such a distinctive and conspicuous battling style should have been recorded by the top Sects of the Human Clan. Why then have I never heard of this Demon’s existence?”

Facing this question, Ye Xiang, also from a Nascent Soul Sect, hoarsely said, ”Maybe she is a Demon Clan powerhouse who has risen in recent years.”

”Recent years? How recent? How many years?”

”Every time we initiate an open war, not only must the Sect conduct intelligence gathering, but the Mingyuan Sect Holy Land also provides a rough estimate. Never in the last five hundred years have I heard of such a figure. It can’t be possible that she reached this level within five hundred years!”

”Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Such a being couldn’t possibly achieve that in merely five hundred years!”

”Indeed, our Human Clan’s prodigies, in five hundred years, only reach the Early Nascent Soul Stage. Some exceptional ones might reach the Mid-Nascent Soul Stage, but that woman...”

...

In the dim dungeon, the sound of conversation continued without cessation.

Even though everyone was separated by individual cells and unable to use their Divine Consciousness or Qi Power, it didn’t stop them from communicating verbally.

Amidst this animated conversation, Luo Chen was somewhat silent.

Just like everyone else, he tried various methods to mobilize the Qi Power within him, but all efforts were in vain.

His Divine Consciousness was confined within his Sea of Consciousness, unable to venture out.

The Golden Core within him, which contained pure mana, was like a clay ox entering the sea, as if trapped in a strange space, completely untraceable.

From others, he learned that this was a highly ingenious Prohibition Technique.

If compared to the Seven Basic Restrictions—mountain, water, wind, cloud, dusk, dawn, and spacethe prohibition technique resembled the Spacial Constraint.

The anomalies within his body also matched the descriptions of a Spacial Constraint.

Seemingly traceless and invisible, yet omnipresent, scattered in every corner within his body.

Luo Chen found no solution; after all, this was a technique of a Late Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beast.

If there were hopes within all his resources to resolve this prohibition, probably only two might work.

One was mastering all Seven Basic Restrictions to break a prohibition using another.

The other was the Slaying Dragon Technique that could cleanse his body of foreign entities.

But both methods were extremely limited.

For the former, he had only mastered part of the Obscure Restriction, far from Completion Stage.

For the latter, it required the support of Qi Power and also, cultivation at a very high level.

At the least, it had to be at the level of a Grandmaster or Great Finalization, and even then, it possibly might not clear the Spacial Constraint within the body.

Realizing all this, Luo Chen felt increasingly despairing.

In the face of absolute power, despite mastering numerous techniques, he was merely ostentatious and incapable of withstanding a single blow.

”Ten years ago, we among our peers were determined to win the Open War, never anticipating defeat. Even with the unexpected factor of Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao, it was merely about putting in extra effort. Who would have thought that in such a short time, our circumstances would differ as greatly as heaven and earth!”

”Yes, just a day ago, we were Golden Core Ascendants, respected and revered by many. Yet a day later, we’ve become lower-order prisoners.”

Listening to the many bitter sighs in the dungeon,
