Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1455: Chapter 542 Absolute Outburst, Capturing a Third Order Demon Beast Alive_3

With a single thought, the thirty-zhang-long Black Scaled Flood Dragon swam over.

Luo Chen frowned, ”Shrink your size!”

The Black Scaled Flood Dragon looked at Luo Chen aggrievedly, then had no choice but to reduce its size to about two zhang, which was already its limit.

For Demon Beasts, being large is honorable, and being long is beautiful.

Shrinking to such a small size, without actively emitting a Third Order aura, it could very well swim along and suddenly encounter some blundering shrimp soldiers and crab generals that would rush up wanting to devour it.

”You lead the way ahead. If we encounter enemies, do not act on your own. Listen to my commands for every move.”

The Black Scaled Flood Dragon hissed softly, stealthily diving into the water.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen formed a Spiritual Secret with his hands, and strands of black lines surfaced all over his body before fading into his skin.

It was the full force array opening of the Concealing Array carved into his body.

Not only that, but he closed and opened his eyes, with Spiritual Light blossoming.

A pair of Spirit Vision eyes, surveying lands within a thousand li.

”Let’s go!”

Luo Chen leaped up, turning into a hazy wisp of Spirit Light, drifting in the sky.

While flying, he looked around the surroundings.

Already at the Finalization of the Spirit Vision Technique, he had gained the ability to peek underground and search for Spirit Veins, and when operated at full strength, he could even sense the traces of life and death.

Now using his Spirit Vision again, Luo Chen was searching for a suitable landing spot.

After flying for about the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, Luo Chen paused his travel, and sent out a voice transmission.

Instructing the Black Scaled Flood Dragon to swim towards a large island in the distance.

He saw very clearly that on that island, there was a surging and abundant Spirit Qi Fluctuation.

Without any Array Forbiddance, it possessed a level nearly equivalent to Third-tier top-grade, definitely a natural Feng Shui treasured land.

However, just as the Black Scaled Flood Dragon was about to make landfall, Luo Chen hastily stopped its action.

”Retreat quickly!”

He himself also hesitated not, changing direction to leave.

Such abnormal actions were due to the fact that several daunting auras had just emitted from the island.

In terms of Realm, they seemed to be above Luo Chen himself.

Even now and then, waves of nauseating, fishy stench gusted out.

Not until they left the area, a thousand li away, did Luo Chen finally take a breath of relief.

”Bad luck. I almost barged right into the lair of the Nine Claw Poison King Crab.”

Crab species generally have eight claws, but the Nine Claw Poison King Crab was an Ancient Times anomaly, reportedly the offspring of a union between a Poisonous Dragon and a Blue Emperor Crab, with highly toxic and domineering poison that even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators would not want to encounter personally.

Luo Chen certainly did not wish to bump into one.

That creature was not even within his hunting targets.

”Let’s find another place!”

...

Time passed slowly.

Stars shifted and the sun and moon turned.

Almost half a month later, a man and a dragon finally set foot on a seemingly ordinary small island.

The moment they landed on the island, Luo Chen, without saying a word, directly planted the Ten Thousand Soul Banner into the ground.

”Senior, I’ll have to trouble you to hold the formation,” he said.

Inside the banner, Han Zhan teased, ”It’s just an early stage of Third Order Tianxuan Fighting Bird, is there a need to make such a fuss?”

Luo Chen’s expression was solemn, not feeling like he was making a fuss at all.

The Tianxuan Fighting Bird was a ferociously temperamental avian Demon Beast, famous in the North Sea.

Carnivorous and fond of fighting, and with extreme speed.

To have a small island for nesting within the Demon Crab-infested Mysterious Rock Sea Area, it must invariably be strong.

No matter how cautious, it wasn’t excessive.

Moreover, Luo Chen did not wish to make a large commotion.

Quietly enter the village without firing a shot; he intended to stay here for several years.

”Black Scaled, you go and lure that Fighting Bird. Don’t let it escape.”

The Black Scaled Flood Dragon reluctantly glanced at Luo Chen. Doesn’t the master know, Black Scaled Flood Dragons naturally have Tianxuan Fighting Birds as their predators?

But under the enslavement of ”Ten Thousand Beast Scripture,” it had no choice but to act and perform that enticing deed.

In reality, it didn’t need to do much enticing.

As soon as it revealed its colossal body, slithering onto this shrub-filled small island, a sharp bird cry rang out.

Afterward, a Blue Divine Handsome Big Bird with wingspan over several zhang in size soared out from the shrubbery, then dived down.

Its sharp talons, outstretched as if made of steel.

The Black Scaled Flood Dragon, as if facing a formidable enemy, coiled into a circle, its scales standing erect, and its tongue hissing fiercely.

Not only that, the sole horn on top of its head emitted a rich black light, trying to intimidate the enemy.

The Fighting Bird was unimpressed, exuberantly circling around the Black Scaled Flood Dragon.

Now and then, its wings would beat, sending out Wind Blades.

It seemed eager to wear down the Black Scaled Flood Dragon and then strike a decisive blow.

Just as one attacked and the other defended, still in the stage of probing each other, the Black Scaled Flood Dragon suddenly revealed a flaw.

Its mountain-like huge body suddenly dispersed.

Seeing this, the Tianxuan Fighting Bird revealed a humanized look of joy.

Its wings spread wide and a massive whirlwind appeared over the small island, enveloping the Black Scaled Flood Dragon within it.

Not only that, the bird swooped down, its talons directly grasping the thick body of the Black Scaled Flood Dragon.

The Black Scaled Flood Dragon turned its head to bite.

The Tianxuan Fighting Bird pecked with its mouth.

Dragon and bird, on the beach, were soon bloodied.

And at that moment.

A sharp whistle pierced the air.

The Tianxuan Fighting Bird hastily turned its head, only to see a Sword Light coming from the sky.

With angry eyes, it disregarded the giant dragon beneath, and its wings clapped together.

Buzz...

A whirlwind appeared in the void, diverting the great sword’s course.

Before it could relax, a figure appeared out of nowhere, appearing atop it.

With a reach of the hand!

The Tianxuan Fighting Bird attempted to resist, but the Black Scaled Flood Dragon’s tail coiled around from below, binding its body tightly, preventing its escape.
