Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1413: Chapter 528: Reconstructing the Combat System_3

After the blast of air surged into the sky, the surrounding seawater began to turbulently fill the hollow.

But no matter how much seawater surged in, those green flames could not be extinguished.

Flames that even the infinite sea water could not extinguish?

Such a bizarre scene, if witnessed would surely shock onlookers.

In the sky above, Luo Chen watched this scene with satisfaction, his eyes revealing a look of delight.

The Primordial Qi Great Handprint had finally reached perfection in proficiency!

Not only that, during the practice process, he integrated the ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra” and gradually infused the Prosperity and Decline True Fire into this Third Order Technique.

At this moment, the Primordial Qi Great Handprint he cast was composed of incredibly pure Fire Attribute Spirit Power and Original Source True Fire.

Its might was extremely powerful!

In Luo Chen’s prediction, this single palm strike was enough to contend with the Golden Wolf King that had attacked him in the past during the Third-Order Late Phase!

Not only that, but he had also perfected the timing of this technique to the utmost.

He could strike with a mere wave of his hand!

He didn’t even need to use the Xuanhuo Sword or cast using the Art of Tool Command.

Or rather, the Xuanhuo Sword, a low-grade Magical Treasure Flying Sword, could no longer endure the might of his palm strike.

”The limits of the ’Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra’ are far beyond this.”

”Through this cultivation technique, I should be able to utilize the Original Source True Fire in every aspect.”

”Once familiar, my combat power will only increase, not decrease!”

All this time, Luo Chen had a lingering concern.

That was, after cultivating the ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra,” all his Qi Power had transformed into Fire Attribute Spirit Power, leaving no other types of power.

This resulted in the limitation of his many adept techniques.

Consequently, he became what was called an embroidered pillow—having the realm but not the matching combat power.

These concerns, especially in the recent months when he cast other techniques, became reality.

The defense spell Glaze Sky Canopy, which he refined to perfection years ago, could no longer be cast.

Techniques like Cao Ti Geng Gold Sword Technique, Wave Technique, and Entanglement Technique, all faced problems.

Even though he could manage to cast them with great difficulty and preparation due to his high proficiency,

who would give him so much preparation time during battle?

Fortunately, with losses there are gains.

Over time, practicing above the vast ocean, Luo Chen slowly figured out a combat path more suitable for himself.

Although mostly Fire Series, it became more versatile.

In terms of offense, he possessed a series of perfected Fire Type Techniques—Fierce Sun Technique, Mountain Collapse, Primordial Qi Great Handprint, and Fierce Fire Miasma.

In addition, combined with the Magical Treasure Xuan Fire Sword, though its uses were specific, its power was tremendously enhanced.

Defensively, previously Luo Chen relied on Glaze Sky Canopy and his strong physique to endure.

Now without Glaze Sky Canopy, he had the Primordial Chaos Tripod as a supplement, and anyway his body could endure the backlash.

Moreover, Luo Chen had already begun developing Fire Attribute Defense Spells.

During the Qi Refinement Stage, he had conceived a similar fire-based defense spell, but didn’t continue exploring it further.

Now, combining the ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra” and the Proficiency Panel, he was confident in deriving the most suitable defense techniques for himself.

Beyond offense and defense, in terms of displacement, there was the Ninety Thousand Miles enhanced by Breaking Moon Wings!

This technique now was even faster than before.

Especially since the Breaking Moon Wings, constantly refined by him over the years, had shed all impurities and unified into a seamless whole, became the highest refined among all his Magic Items!

Maybe others would even consider it to be Luo Chen’s Natal Magic Item.

For long-distance displacement, while short-distance considerations, Luo Chen combined Carefree Wandering, Wang Yuan’s Rising Dragon Step, and his own strong physique to devise a shape-shifting method.

He named it Sky Explosion Step!

With a thought from Luo Chen, he rapidly retreated and then surged forward, weaving left and right.

Instantly, streaks of fiery afterimages appeared in the void.

During the displacement, the air even burst with loud sounds!

Such a scene, if seen by Tao Wen of Qingdan Valley, would surely be a huge shock.

It closely resembled her Windstorm Nine Changes!

But clearly, the essence of the technique extended far beyond this.

”Qing Shuang...”

Luo Chen paused, a look of admiration on his face.

Relying on her clan’s innate talent, Qing Shuang had comprehended the rudiments of spatial law during the Nascent Soul Stage, combining it with Body Refining to outpace others of her level!

When she moved, she was like a ghost, unpredictable and impossible to guard against.

Luo Chen had also caught a glimpse of that woman’s grace, which left a deep impression on him.

He emulated Qing Shuang’s methods and devised the Sky Explosion Step.

Based on Body Refining as a foundation, supplemented by Carefree Wandering and Rising Dragon Step, topped with the Qi Power cultivated from the ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra.”

In this way, his Sky Explosion Step achieved a similar effect.

In short-distance movement, it burst forth, like the sudden explosion of a sun in the sky.

Although it was merely the fundamentals of Qing Shuang’s doctrine, it was certainly a top-tier method for the Golden Core Period, and not something just anyone could cultivate.

After all, not everyone possessed Luo Chen’s physique, nor his extremely explosive Fire Attribute Qi Power.

”Both attack and movement in place, and also supported by ’Mirror Flower, Water Moon’ for combat.”

”As long as I thoroughly develop my defenses, I shall have no weaknesses!”

Luo Chen exhaled deeply.

From that moment, the hidden concerns he had since his arrival in the North Sea completely dissipated.

With a thought of his Divine Consciousness, he sent out a command.

Soon, five Blue-ring Giant Fang Sea Snakes gathered together.

Luo Chen descended from the sky, stepping on the head of the Sea Snake King, pointed in a direction, and the Sea Snake King carried Luo Chen off swimming smoothly.

Standing atop the serpent’s head, with the sea wind in his face, Luo Chen pondered his next moves.

It was time to secure a Third Order Spirit Land for himself.

Even the best cultivation techniques were mere software.

Without the ”hardware” support of a Spirit Land, his cultivation speed could not increase quickly.

Moreover, aside from the Spirit Land, he had to reconsider his options concerning elixirs.

The power of the Starry Pill was too weak and too mixed.

It wasn’t suitable for his current practice of solely cultivating Fire Attribute Qi Power.

As for which elixir to switch to?

Luo Chen already had a plan in mind.

...

”Eh?”

The mist parted, and looking at the woman sleeping soundly on the doorstep, Luo Chen showed a look of surprise.

She was a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator after all.

Although previously worried about her family affairs and troubled about her own future, Cheng Haixin had fallen asleep while waiting. But now that Luo Chen had returned without concealing his presence, she immediately woke up.

The woman stood up nervously, ”Senior...”

Luo Chen walked towards the Cave Mansion, and seeing her still standing outside, he shook his head.

”Don’t just stand there foolishly outside, come in!”

Heart fluttering, the woman quietly walked inside.

Seeing her nervous demeanor, Luo Chen couldn’t help but smile resignedly.

”Is there something you need? Or do you want to warm my bed again?”

For a moment, the woman’s face turned crimson.

She fidgeted with the hem of her clothing, then, as if remembering something, quickly took an item out of her storage bag.

It was a Jade Slip.

”Senior, this is from my brother to be passed onto you.”

After Luo Chen took it, she hesitatedly added, ”Actually, warming your bed isn’t off the table either.”

Luo Chen chuckled lightly and started to read the Jade Slip in front of her.

Gradually, Luo Chen’s lips curved into a beautiful smile.

That Cheng Dou really couldn’t wait any longer, huh!
