Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1904: Chapter 705: Death in the Netherworld, Soul Severed at Black Cliff

”Caw!”

”Caw!”

The piercing cries of sea birds echoed over the ocean, and several flying birds formed a formation, spiraling in the air.

Occasionally they dove down, rushing towards the sea surface, their sharp claws lightly hooking, sharp beaks stabbing directly, and when they flew up again, large fish would fall into their mouths.

Some of those with full bellies would catch large fish, peck them to death without eating, and instead throw them back into the sea.

The blood diffused and enticed some bloodthirsty sea beasts.

These First Order sea birds were having a great time.

Until a gust of windstorm swept past, scattering their formation in disarray.

Each sea bird stared blankly ahead, vaguely witnessing the silhouette of a kite bird speeding by.

...

”Elder Han, I really have to thank you this time.”

”It’s nothing, just an early Nascent Soul stage puppet, giving it up means nothing. Besides, didn’t you promise to give me Feiyun Zi’s physical body?”

On the Wooden Kite, Luo Chen stood with his hands behind his back.

Sang Jinghe sat cross-legged, his face pale. Even with the mana shield Luo Chen set up for him, he still felt a heavy breath under the high-speed rush.

At this moment, he was exerting all his efforts to operate Spirit Power to dispel the discomfort.

Luo Chen glanced at him and continued conversing with Han Zhan inside the Soul Nurturing Tablet.

On Purple Spirit Island, the early Nascent Soul stage puppet that self-destructed was obviously the Spiritual Wood Puppet Han Zhan previously resided in.

The price Han Zhan was willing to pay for this treasure was clearly Feiyun Zi’s physical body.

Back at Ming Zhao Heavenly Cloud Sea Plaza, Feiyun Zi used the Cicada’s Shedding technique, leaving his physical body behind, tunneling out as a Nascent Soul.

Luo Chen eventually crushed his Nascent Soul, but his physical body was preserved.

This physical body was evidently prepared for Han Zhan to ”Soul Snatch.”

Unlike a puppet, the physical body of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator had formed a Purple Mansion.

Even if the Spirit Root Attributes, Meridians, and Acupoints didn’t match Han Zhan, as long as there was a Purple Mansion, it was still the best vessel, far exceeding a puppet.

With just a hundred years or so of cultivation, it could potentially improve bit by bit and allow Han Zhan to tread the cultivation path once more.

”It’s a pity. Even though you left a drop of Blood Essence to lure Moon Independent Cultivator to the island, it ultimately didn’t cause her any significant trouble.”

Han Zhan sighed as he spoke.

Luo Chen also felt quite regretful. Leveraging an array and the Nascent Soul puppet’s power to detonate Purple Spirit Island should have inflicted grave injuries, if not death, on any ordinary Nascent Soul individual.

However, based on what Han Zhan’s Soul Splitting Puppet left underwater saw, Moon Independent Cultivator emerged unscathed.

”The capabilities of a Great Cultivator truly exceed imagination!”

Luo Chen remarked, filled with even more respect for Moon Independent Cultivator.

Such an existence was best left unprovoked. Once provoked, it was akin to a constant thorn in the back, leaving Luo Chen deeply uneasy.

Furthermore!

”I fear I won’t be able to make it to the Mysterious Rock Sea Area.”

This was what troubled Luo Chen the most.

His original plan was to detour from the outer sea to the Mysterious Rock Sea Area, where he had once hunted Demon Crabs.

Because there was a Mysterious Rock Island there!

Though the island was sunk, the foundation of the Fourth Order Spirit Vein remained.

Luo Chen had now reached the Golden Core Eighth Layer, just a step away from the Ninth Layer, with the day of Nascent Soul Formation being imminent.

Moreover, everything needed for the Nascent Soul Formation Pill was ready.

The only missing condition for forming the Nascent Soul was a Fourth Order Spirit Vein.

Mysterious Rock Island was the most suitable target.

With its Fourth Order Spirit Vein foundation, a little cultivation could restore its splendor. There were no powerful beast threats nearby, allowing Luo Chen to cultivate in peace and quietly attempt a breakthrough.

Yet an unforeseen event occurred.

Moon Independent Cultivator didn’t pursue him, but she sent a Demon Beast comparable to a Late Stage Nascent Soul to hunt him down.

The most urgent matter was to shake off that strange Demon Beast.

”I need to venture deep into the Demon Sea!”

Luo Chen took a deep breath, having made his decision in mind.

When he first entered the North Sea, he was immensely respectful of the Demon Sea beyond Human Territory.

But now, he wasn’t as afraid.

Firstly, his strength had skyrocketed, enabling him to face off against Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators head-on.

Secondly, Han Zhan was there to protect him. Not only did he possess Nascent Soul abilities, but he could also deploy the White Tiger Puppet when exerting full strength—temporarily resisting Late Stage Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators.

The final assurance was Luo Chen’s deep understanding of the current dynamics in the North Sea.

Most top-tier Demon Emperors were sealed in Beiji Yemo Tian, leaving their bases relatively undefended.

With caution, venturing into the Demon Sea shouldn’t be overly perilous.

”Luo Chen, faster! That Demon Beast is faster than you can imagine. If it stays like this, you’ll be caught.”

Han Zhan’s voice resonated once more.

Luo Chen frowned, exerting his internal Qi Power to push the Wooden Kite beneath him.

A streak of light shot across the sky like a meteor.

...

Several days later.

On the Wooden Kite, a muffled groan was heard.

Luo Chen anxiously asked, ”How is it?”

Han Zhan, sounding weary, replied, ”The Late Golden Core Stage puppet I left along the way was torn to shreds.”

Luo Chen, uncertain, questioned, ”Is it that fast?”

Han Zhan, in a low voice, said, ”Our speed is part of it; unless you abandon Sang Jinghe, this Foundation Establishment junior, and use the Sky Roc True Body’s full force to cover Ninety Thousand Miles, there might be a glimmer of hope.”

Luo Chen glanced at Sang Jinghe, then shook his head.

They hadn’t reached that point yet.

Plus, even with full flight power, could they really shake off that eerie Demon Beast?

His face darkened slightly.

”Something’s off. Even though I used the Slaying Dragon Technique to clear our scent, why can that Demon Beast still accurately pursue us?”

Even with speed, they needed the right direction.

Otherwise, they’d only be going in the wrong direction.
