Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1498: Chapter 557: Wait For the Enemy, Cliff Serpent Remains

Above the vast ocean expanse, a Windstorm swept through.

Suddenly, a colossal figure shot across the distance like a meteor, bursting apart the seawater into countless waves when it came to a halt.

At this moment, as the downpour ceased, the sunlight illuminated the waves, casting a myriad of rainbow hues.

Under the hazy halo, the colossal figure slowly shrank, its Qi Armor dissipated, feathered wings retracted, and layer upon layer of steam-like currents pushed the surrounding seawater away.

In just a short time, as the waves fell back into the ocean, Luo Chen returned to his true form.

Staring at his body, stark naked without any covering, he couldn’t help but frown.

Both the Sky Roc Transformation and Wang Yuan’s Giant Spirit Transformation had this issue—after transforming, clothing would be stretched and torn apart.

Previously, when his realm was lower, the physical change was only about ten to twenty feet in size, and common Vestment robes could expand accordingly.

But now, having advanced to the Late Period of the Primordial Third Order, with the full force transformation extending dozens of feet, those Top Grade robes couldn’t possibly withstand it.

”Let it be, it’s just a trivial matter after all.”

He cast the Healing Technique, quickly took care of the injuries on his body, and donned loose, off-white Daoist Robes.

Afterward, Luo Chen descended to the seabed and began to calmly wait.

With his full burst of speed just now, the incense stick’s worth of time had already taken him more than a thousand miles away from the Mysterious Rock Sea Area.

Ordinary Third Order Demon Beasts couldn’t hope to catch up.

Especially the Demon Beasts from Mysterious Rock Island, such as the Demon Crab and Monster Turtle, who were not known for their speed and had mostly sustained serious injuries under the Thunder Tribulation.

The only ones who had the capacity to chase Luo Chen, like Jin Ao and a few other Great Demon Kings, had been struck by a covertly charged Qingyang’s Great Handprint from Luo Chen and were currently too preoccupied to chase.

Therefore, Luo Chen was not worried about being pursued.

He was now waiting here to meet up with Han Zhan and Black King.

Han Zhan’s escape route was a corridor of life glimpsed from Mysterious Rock Island, enabled by an Array, which with the help of the God Sealing Compass’s Lanyun Mist Array would be sufficient for a graceful escape.

Furthermore, Luo Chen had bought them plenty of time.

So, he thought, there shouldn’t be any incidents.

After waiting for about half an incense stick’s time, Luo Chen opened his eyes in confusion from meditation.

”Why haven’t they arrived yet?”

Splash!

Luo Chen surfaced, and with both Spirit Vision and Divine Consciousness at his disposal, he looked in a certain direction, but there was still no movement.

Strange!

That was the agreed-upon meeting spot with Han Zhan. Still, no one was in sight.

A sinking feeling hit Luo Chen’s heart.

”It couldn’t be that Han Zhan, seeing the benefits before him, decided to escape and abandon me!”

If that was indeed the case, Luo Chen would be truly aggrieved.

At this moment, the Precious items that Han Zhan held were all Luo Chen’s possessions.

The increasingly sharp Ten Thousand Soul Banner they had cultivated, the indispensable God Sealing Compass for traveling, and the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis, freshly taken from Black King’s jaws.

Just these three items, given the increasingly tumultuous situation in the North Sea Cultivation World, would fetch millions of Spirit Stones.

Especially the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis, which was made of the body material of Fourth Order Transformation Demon Beasts. Handled properly, it might even yield some unrivaled Precious item.

Otherwise, Luo Chen would not risk his life to seize such an item.

Oh, and there’s Black King!

This Black Scaled Giant Python, who initially had abysmal talent, had been cultivated by Kun Jiao and Luo Chen. Especially after consuming large amounts of the Top Grade Emperor Flow Juice, he was finally revealing remarkable potential. His future prospects were boundless.

If he were to be taken away by Han Zhan, Luo Chen would have nowhere to cry!

It was at this moment that Luo Chen realized the Oath of Dao was not omnipotent after all.

The Oath of Dao that Han Zhan had made to him was merely a restriction not to harm Luo Chen before his Advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage.

But there was no clause in the oath that restricted Han Zhan from departing on his own.

Instantly, Luo Chen’s joy at acquiring treasures also waned.

”No, I must go find them.”

Luo Chen checked his condition—most of his Qi Power remained, and while his Physique had sustained injuries, it did not affect the release of his normal combat strength.

If he truly encountered any adversaries, he still had sufficient capacity for self-defense.

Following that direction, Luo Chen summoned a clump of Qi Power clouds, activated the Concealing Array, and flew silently along the surface of the sea.

During the flight, he was constantly attentive to any Divine Soul Fluctuations.

Black King was his Spirit Beast, and during subjugation, his Soul Blood had been taken; there was a certain connection between the two.

As long as the distance wasn’t too vast, he could sense the general direction of the other party.

After flying for about a few minutes, suddenly, the cloud clump halted above the ocean surface.

Luo Chen looked towards the sky where a Glint hastily departed, emanating a powerful Breath of the Golden Core Seventh Level!

Especially since that Breath was quite familiar.

”It’s Gu Shaoshang!”

”Why is he here, and with such a panicked escape?”

While Luo Chen was still in doubt, a whirlpool appeared on the sea ahead, and then a massive Black Scaled Giant Python emerged, its body thick and robust, with a fierce horn atop its head. Ignoring appearances and solely by its aura, it had already shown a semblance of formidable grandeur.

It was Black King!

Joy filled Luo Chen’s heart, and he deactivated the Concealing Array.

Black King sensed it too and hurriedly swam over.

”Master, Black King has successfully accomplished your command!”

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out a mass of bright yellow light, which floated out leisurely, hovering above them.

Upon merely one glance, Luo Chen felt a sense of ancient weightiness.

He stared closely, penetrating the bright yellow light, and within it spun a turtle shell engraved with dense patterns, all forming hexagons in overall perfect order.

Such structured backshell patterns were extremely rare in the Immortal Cultivation World, only seen on those with exceptional innate talents, capable of such Condensation.
