Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1493: Chapter 555: Fierce Battle with the Great Demon King at the Pinnacle!_2

”Hmph...”

A muffled hum emerged from Luo Chen’s mouth as a thread of blood involuntarily trickled out.

Unlike the Soul Breaking Three Nails, which were hardly cultivated by him, the Xuanhuo Sword had been with him since the Foundation Establishment Stage, and it had been cultivated for no less than a hundred years.

Especially after Core Formation, as his most handy Magic Item, even with its poor quality, he devoted major efforts to nurturing and cultivating it.

It could be said that among the various precious items he possessed, it ranked in the top three in terms of the heart-mind link!

It was only second to the Lan Ke Black and White Chess, and even surpassed his Natal Magic Item by a notch.

Now that this treasure was destroyed, the link with his heart-mind also caused Luo Chen’s Divine Soul to suffer a heavy blow.

It was as if someone had violently ripped off a chunk of flesh from his body.

Luo Chen had thought that one day, this sword would meet its natural end, given that its quality was indeed mediocre and it could no longer withstand the overbearing and pure Qi Power of his Middle Stage Golden Core.

But he never imagined that the Xuanhuo Sword would be crushed by an enemy in such a manner.

Those Jin Ao!

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen’s Qi-Blood surged within him, and Green Flame began to swirl around him.

The blood spilling from the corner of his mouth evaporated into nothingness.

A formidable breath started to burst forth incessantly.

”What makes you think you can leave this place with me?”

Sensing that distinctly different momentum, Jin Ao was momentarily surprised.

Demon Qi?

No, it was Human Clan Qi-Blood, except that it was mixed with a great deal of Demon Qi.

Moreover, that Demon Qi gave him a feeling of familiarity, as if... kindred?

Thinking of this, Jin Ao erupted in fury.

”Damn it, to use my clan’s brethren for Body Refinement, I’ll tear you to pieces alive!”

As he spoke, he moved his colossal form, charging towards Luo Chen.

This charge was like a giant beast ramming into a mountain, unstoppable!

Faced with this collision, Luo Chen was not afraid at all, charging head-on as well.

As he charged forward, his body began to transform.

Endless Qi-Blood, like a waterfall, surged through all the muscles and bones of his body.

His skin, clear as jade, cracked and reassembled, forming layers that resembled Armor Plates as well as Beast Skin.

One by one, white Armor Plates covered his body, the color deepened progressively, turning increasingly red, resembling Fire Feathers.

His hands transformed into indestructible claws, his eyes bulged like a bull’s, and under the blossoming Spiritual Light they shone with unparalleled sharpness, with thin layers of callous-like film forming at the corners.

Whoosh!

The Breaking Moon Wings suddenly spread out, descending from the sky, obscuring the sun!

Green Prosperity and Decline True Fire, like a tide, swept over his body, forming a circle of green halo that completely enveloped him.

At this moment, a Sky Roc made its stirring appearance.

This was Luo Chen revealing his Sky Roc True Body for the first time since his Advancement to the Late Period of Three-Order Ancient Desolation.

With his first move, he directly faced the nearly Third-Order Perfect Peak Overlord Crab!

The Green Flame boiled, rolling back up to the sky.

With a fierce shout, it echoed across the heavens.

”Come on!”

In an instant, the transformation was complete.

Two colossal figures collided with a decisive and inescapable momentum.

Boom!!!

Matchless power transformed into a shockwave, sweeping in all directions.

A nearby low mountain peak, under this shockwave, silently shattered to pieces.

The ground trembled, as if an Earth Dragon were rolling.

A struggle!

It began at the very first contact.

And it also ended in an instant.

Bang!

With a single move, the giant crab fell to the ground, creating a huge crater.

While the Sky Roc, too, was thrown back hundreds of meters, flapping its wings frantically in the air to stabilize its form.

”Again!”

From the ground, Jin Ao burst forth, heading straight for the sky.

Luo Chen’s expression turned fierce, and he dove straight down.

Boom!

A short-range encounter, followed by separation.

Then, another collision!

Once, twice, three times...

After nine rounds, the two giant beasts, gasping for air, were separated.

Both had sustained serious injuries.

Luo Chen looked at his own body, covered with numerous wounds of various sizes, flesh hanging off, extremely ghastly.

These were all caused by Jin Ao’s twin pincers and eight crab legs during close combat.

He looked around and saw that Jin Ao was not having an easy time either.

On his golden shell, there were all kinds of wounds.

Some were from the Sky Full of Fire Feathers Killing Move unleashed by the Breaking Moon Wings, which was not used under normal circumstances. It was only because he had nourished and sacrificed the artifact to his liking over the years that he released it for the first time. Falling on the body of the King Crab, they were wounds like cuts from a small knife.

In addition to the Fire Feather Killing Move, the shell of Jin Jia was also full of pits and indentations, as if eroded by some kind of corrosive poison. It was the remaining, not so abundant, Fierce Fire Miasma that had spread onto his body, where the vicious Evil Qi began to erode.

Among the many wounds, a five-fingernail claw mark was the most conspicuous, as the claw mark had already crushed through the weakest parts of the shell, deep into the bones.

This was precisely the Finalization Cloud Probing Divine Claw, enhanced by the Sky Roc True Body!

The most intense physical confrontation was also the exchange of the most dangerous injuries!

However, it was clear that Luo Chen’s physical body’s defense had not yet been cultivated to Perfection, so the injuries he sustained were also the most direct.

As for Jin Ao, it was clear that he had sacrificed his entire shell and giant pincers towards the enhancement of a Magic Item, making it a combination of offense and defense!

”I was careless!”

Luo Chen gasped and felt somewhat annoyed.

He rarely used his Sky Roc True Body against enemies, and he had felt before that there were many aspects that could be improved. Now, it seemed it was indeed the case.

But in the midst of battle, there was no time for him to make these improvements.

This physical body was hard-earned through arduous cultivation and had tremendous potential.

Even though it had not been fully transformed, he had thought of corresponding combat methods earlier in his years.

With a thought, a Small Tripod was expelled from his mouth.

Upon contact with the wind, it turned into a terrifying Giant Cauldron fifty zhang in size.

Luo Chen grabbed one of the tripod’s legs with one hand, and it was a pity that the Xuanhuo Sword was destroyed, otherwise holding the sword in one hand and lifting the cauldron in the other would have been his ideal combat state.

However, even so, it was enough.

He looked viciously at Jin Ao.

”This time, I will not hold back.”

No sooner had he spoken than he took a fierce step forward.

In the void, a loud boom was heard.

His huge body suddenly disappeared and reappeared directly above Jin Ao.

With the Giant Cauldron in hand, he smashed it down fiercely!

The eyes of Jin Ao nearly burst with rage as a giant pincer swung out.

Just one strike!

Crack!

The giant pincer fell off its body, crashing to the ground like a meteorite.

And Luo Chen couldn’t help but shudder all over, flying backwards for several dozen zhang, trailing a clear and hollow white mark in the void.

He didn’t even manage to hold onto the Primordial Chaos Tripod, which slipped from his grasp.

Neither fared well with the backlash of the tremendous force.

Furthermore, the wounds on Luo Chen’s body bled profusely, like rivers of blood flowing.

”This battle cannot go on any longer.”

While forcibly summoning back the Primordial Chaos Tripod, Luo Chen had this thought in his mind.

The fight would surely end with mutual destruction!

And if he had to leave, he had already found that it wouldn’t be a problem after several battles.

With the support of the Sky Roc True Body, the speed of Ninety Thousand Miles had once again broken through.

In the eyes of Jin Ao and the ”slow-moving” Demon Crab Clan, they couldn’t hold him at all.

But before leaving, there was one more thing Luo Chen needed to do.

”Do you have a name?”

Jin Ao looked at Luo Chen furiously with one pincer held aloft, ”I am Jin Ao, the strongest warrior of the Tyrant Family. I will not kill the nameless. What is your name? State your name!”

Luo Chen nodded, ”Very well, Jin Ao, is it? I am Qingyang, and I will remember you.”

With those words, he trembled his wings and flew towards the outskirts of Mysterious Rock Island.

Jin Ao was stunned at first, then flew into a rage.

To have fought to this extent and still wish to flee!

He had never suffered such a great humiliation in his life, even his pincer had been broken off.

He had been ready to fight to the death with this cultivator named Qingyang, yet he was fleeing.

”Coward, you are not worthy of knowing my name, stay here!!”

Amidst his angry roar, he chased furiously.

But just as he was about to leave Mysterious Rock Island, his steps suddenly halted, and he turned back to look towards the center of the battlefield.

A powerful aura surged up, encompassing everywhere.

His expression changed drastically.

”That’s the breath of Mysterious Rock Demonic Emperor. Could it be that Qi Huan and Hai Luo have made their moves?”

At that moment, five huge demon clouds rose from the sea surface, descending upon Mysterious Rock Island.

The rumbling sound spread in all directions.

”All Demon Kings of the five clans, accompany us and do not hold back in killing Hai Luo!”

Hearing this, Jin Ao hesitated.

At last, he gave one resentful look in the direction Luo Chen had fled, and flew towards the center of Mysterious Rock Island.

In this battle, personal gains and losses were trivial, and the interests of the clan came first!
