Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2597: Chapter 957: Spiritual Cannons Roar, Battle of the Residual Realm

”It’s open!”

”Hurry inside!”

A hurried voice sounded, and Hong Ye Granny immediately gave the cue.

However, no one dared to move.

Who knows what awaits them inside?

Master Li Tian chuckled lightly, ”Let this old man go first!”

His body transformed into a glint and slipped through the gap of the open door.

The others no longer hesitated and entered one by one.

Finally, it was Luo Chen!

When the two elders of the Golden Lion Empire arrived, all they saw was a fleeting shadow.

Then came the thunderous closure of the bronze door.

”The three of them are still inside, it’s dangerous!”

The Third Ancestor’s expression slightly changed, and he immediately took out a token, attempting to open the bronze door again.

But no matter how he activated the token, the door remained motionless, as if something inside was holding it shut.

The Fifth Ancestor, who had some knowledge of arrays, probed a little and instantly her face turned pale.

”Inside, a top-tier array master has set up a spirit-blocking array, altering the structure of the Gate of Life and Death. It’s impossible to open it by normal means in a short time.”

What kind of array master could so swiftly alter the structure of a magic item crafted by Gate of Life and Death cultivators?

A name suddenly surfaced.

”Hong Ye!”

The Third Ancestor gritted his teeth and spat out this name.

Only that old witch from the Red Leaf Sect possessed such array attainment.

And according to the Golden Lion Emperor, there indeed was an old woman among the eight people.

If the description is accurate, it must have been her personally acting, penetrating the flaw in this door’s prohibition, allowing them to enter so easily.

No!

In such a short time, Hong Ye alone wouldn’t suffice.

Someone familiar with the existence of the bronze door must have prepared in advance, combined with a powerful body refining master, to accomplish this in one go.

He didn’t know who the latter was, but the former must have been Master Li Tian, that traitorous guy.

”Fifth Sister, act quickly, break Hong Ye’s array, and join up with our big brother and them!” commanded the Third Ancestor.

The young Fifth Ancestor nodded, ”I will try my best!”

Yet before she could act, the Golden Lion Emperor rushed in, flustered.

”Ancestors, save me!”

”What has you this panicked, behaving so improperly?” the Third Ancestor reprimanded.

The Golden Lion Emperor’s face was pale, ”They’ve attacked, the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance has attacked!”

Upon hearing the name ’Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance,’ the Third Ancestor frowned.

Even while hiding in the Yin Yang Realm in closed-door cultivation, they had some awareness of the tumultuous happenings in the South Border.

There indeed was such a force lurking, ready to stir trouble.

Yet, they didn’t expect they would dare to strike at the mighty Golden Lion Empire.

The Golden Lion Emperor caught his breath and continued, ”It’s not just them. According to the message from the Beacon Tower, there are also cultivators from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect among the enemy!”

Upon these words, the Third Ancestor’s face changed dramatically and even the young Fifth Ancestor, who was probing the array, paused in her actions.

If the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance acted alone, it could be viewed as internal strife within the South Border.

But joining forces with Zhongzhou’s Tianyuan Daoist Sect held an entirely different significance.

Until now, who in the world remained unaware of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s ambitions?

Marching armies to the North Sea, taking over the Eastern Wasteland.

And now, they’ve set sights on the South Border!

Their ambition to devour the world was clear!

”After the Golden Lion Empire, it’s Unicorn Mountain, then... our sect,” the young Fifth Ancestor murmured, fear evident in her eyes.

The Third Ancestor took a deep breath and decisively said, ”Leave this matter for now. Let’s head out, deploy forces to block the armies of Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance and Tianyuan Daoist Sect. Additionally, Fifth Sister, quickly notify the sect’s experts to prepare!”

The Fifth Ancestor nodded, ”It’s the right thing to do, but what about the Yin Yang Realm? Among those who ventured in, there are seven Nascent Soul True Masters, including Master Li Tian and Hong Ye Granny, both late-stage great cultivators.”

”It’s of no concern! Compared to the sect’s safety, neither the Golden Lion Empire nor our big brother and the rest are significant. Moreover...” The Third Ancestor paused, somewhat relieved as he said, ”Within the Yin Yang Realm, arrays abound. As long as our big brother and the rest are cautious and leverage the arrays, there remains a slim chance.”

The young lady opened her mouth, but eventually, she could only sigh.

”Let’s hope so!”

”Let’s go; they’re awaiting our command outside.” With that, the Third Ancestor started towards the exit.

Yet after a few steps, there was no movement from behind.

Confused, he turned around to find hesitation etched across the young lady’s face.

Fifth Ancestor impatiently asked, ”What else is bothering you, being so indecisive?”

The young lady, her voice carrying an inexplicable fear, stammered, ”Third Brother, the Death Gate is within the Yin Yang Realm. Do you think Master Li Tian and the others aim for the Death Gate?”

Fifth Ancestor was left frozen in place.

...

A gigantic flying boat, resembling a war fortress, hovered above the borders of the Golden Lion Empire.

It seemed to stretch across the sky, remaining still.

But upon closer inspection, this massive flying boat was moving towards the Golden Lion Empire with undeniable, unstoppable speed.

Beams of glint flew out from the flying boat, aiming for the battlefield below.

On the flying boat, Zhan Bingtao watched this scene, a look of disdain in his eyes.

”Such a vast empire, yet their response is so rigid, unaware even as our army bears down upon them.”

The Songyang Alliance Leader, however, seemed unsurprised.

”It’s not the Golden Lion Empire’s fault. From what I know, they are a branch of the Gate of Life and Death. For hundreds of years, no one dared provoke them, naturally leading to their slackness.”

”Moreover, with the South Border undergoing celestial changes, and the five elders of the Golden Lion Empire hiding in a secret realm for cultivation, relying only on the remaining lower order cultivators, how could they be aware of the vast changes in the Immortal Cultivation World?”
