Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1494: Chapter 556: Perish Together, A Palm Sinking the Sea

On Mysterious Rock Island, a world-shocking battle was unfolding.

Perhaps calling it that may seem exaggerated.

But for the Crab-Turtle Clans, it was absolutely a crucial fight.

One side fought for the chance of their clan’s rise, yearning to seize the Fourth Order Spirit Vein Land. The other sought a place of survival, determined to protect their homeland and refusing to yield their territory.

This battle, ever since the Five Great King Crab Clans began to unravel the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation on the first small island, was destined to erupt. Dragged out until this moment, the entire strength of the Ring-Headed Turtle Clan had already been exhausted.

An old Ring-Headed Turtle emerged from under the central mountain of Mysterious Rock Island.

Its turbid eyes looked in all directions, its majestic and immense Divine Consciousness permeated the land it had lived on for a thousand years, and waves of sorrow surfaced in its heart.

This clan of his, they do not enjoy fighting.

Even when a Transformation Period Demon Emperor had once emerged, they merely lived peacefully within the Mysterious Rock Sea Area.

Even the Demon Beasts, big and small, residents of this sea area, as long as they don’t affect their lives, are seldom ruled by force; at most, such creatures are just taken under their wing.

But such benign methods have, in the end, led to today’s outcome—corpses everywhere, blood floating adrift!

”It should still be... in time,” he muttered.

Looking at those surviving members of the Ring-Headed Turtle Clan, his gaze shifted towards the direction Luo Chen had departed; that Human Cultivator did buy them some time.

Yet, that was all he could do.

Turning his head, he glanced at the tall mountain behind him, then his gaze moved towards the five Glints flying in from outside the island and the armies of Demon Clouds rushing towards him from all around.

”Come then!”

”Let me fight this last battle for my clan, and leave one final chance for survival to the Mysterious Rock Ring-Headed Turtle Clan.”

As he spoke to himself, his body began to grow larger and larger.

His belly’s dermal bone plates were smooth as mirrors, and his back’s carapace was as rough as rock.

Rings upon rings of patterns spread all over his body, akin to a tree’s annual rings, revealing how much hardship he had lived through, how many changes he had witnessed.

In just a moment, a gigantic turtle with a circumference of eighty to ninety zhang lay prostrate on Mysterious Rock Island.

At a glance, it was like a small piece of land!

It was then that five powerful attacks arrived at the same time.

Golden Light, Lv Xiu, pervasive poison gas, interweaving webs, and surging flames descended from the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening explosions echoed across and beyond Mysterious Rock Island.

Clouds of dust rose into the sky.

When the dust cleared, Gui Hailuo stood tall on the battlefield, unshaken.

Suddenly!

That land-like body began to rise slowly.

Its four limbs, covered in thick horny layers, forcefully pushed off the ground, lifting his colossal body upright.

A bright yellow halo enveloped his entire body, highlighting his immovable mountain-like and solid rock-like momentum.

Upon seeing that bright yellow halo, everyone felt an immense weight on their hearts.

Especially the five Clan Chiefs, whose expressions instantly shifted.

”Demon Emperor’s Breath!”

”This is the breath of the Mysterious Rock Demonic Emperor; could it be that the Mysterious Rock Molt is on Hailuo’s body?”

”That’s right, only then can it be explained why he dares to stand unwavering, enduring our joint attacks!”

”Now we’re in trouble, Hailuo has dared to desecrate the ancient molt, assimilating it into his body.”

”What’s there to worry about? It’s just a turtle shell—shatter it!”

The last to speak was Jin Hun, who was always composed.

The fruit of victory was right before them, how could they falter now!

Moreover, it was five against one, they had the advantage!

In terms of living forces, the full collapse of the Ring-Headed Turtle Clan, along with the self-detonation of numerous Third-Order Demon Kings, meant a loss of high-end combat power. As for their Five Great Royal Crab Clans, they could surely gather a few dozen Third-order Demon Crab Kings together.

Today, even if it comes to grinding, they will grind this old turtle to death.

For this, his Tyrant Family was willing to pay any price!

Before taking action, Jin Hun looked at the other four demons.

”At times like these, you all must be prepared to give it your all too, aren’t you?”

Chi Yan grinned viciously, stepping forward.

Nine Claws opened his mouth and slowly spat out a toxic hook that exuded a chilling malevolence.

Lv Xiu was somewhat hesitant, undecided.

Zhu Xiang shook his head, looking at Jin Hun, ”This battle may bring losses. Families like the Azure Emperor’s have few Great Demon Kings, and if we lose too many, our clan’s strength will surely decline...”

He didn’t finish his words.

But everyone knew what he meant.

Jin Hun waved his large hand, ”Regardless, by taking this place, our Five Clans will have the potential to birth a Demon Emperor. No matter who succeeds, they will unite the five royal families, ruling the Mysterious Rock Sea Area alone. By then, prosperity for one is prosperity for all, and loss for one is loss for all! Your considerations are too petty.”

Ambition was laid bare at this moment, with no pretense of concealment.

Even though everyone was already mentally prepared for this, they were still deeply stirred.

The birth of a Crab Emperor, uniting the five clans.

Dominating Mysterious Rock, achieving greatness for the North Sea’s Demon Clan!

Only by then would their sub-clans have a chance to rise up, no longer bullied by other Great Demons, and no longer worrying about the Human Cultivators fearlessly hunting and capturing at will.

In preparation for that future, they indeed needed to be ready to risk everything.

Lv Xiu, who had been initially indecisive, also solidified her resolve.

”Then, let’s battle!”

”Take action!”

Without any hesitation, the Five Great Clan Chiefs unleashed their true bodies, taking their positions at five different spots, beginning the siege on the old Clan Chief of the Ring-Headed Turtle Clan, Hailuo.

And Hailuo, protected by the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis, was just as fearless.
