Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3097 - 1162: Magic and Body Double Cultivation, Destruction Mist (2)

”To ensure the possibility of Magic and Body Double Cultivation in the future, some modifications are needed based on one’s own situation.”

”Perhaps, it’s time to emulate Wang Yuan’s past actions.”

After a while, Luo Chen woke up from his contemplation, revealing a knowing smile.

He was no stranger to what he was about to do next.

Based on the current cultivation techniques and accumulated knowledge from the past, he recreated a body refinement method suitable for himself.

Wang Yuan had always been doing this, and Luo Chen himself had done so in the past.

But this time, Luo Chen was full of fighting spirit!

...

On the Gobi Desert, Xiang Fei drove the carriage, slowly heading towards Wuyou City.

She was in a very good mood at this moment.

After being relieved of her chronic illness, not only did she avoid the fate of death, but most importantly, she could continue on the martial arts cultivation path.

Compared to the feelings of returning from Wuyou City in despair, it was a world of difference.

At this point, she wasn’t sure whether she should resent Xiao Feng’s scheming, or be grateful for her audacious actions back then.

However, a question still lingered in her mind.

”Upon returning to Wuyou City, should I try to challenge the Annihilation Nine Rings once again?”

The woman’s face occasionally showed a hint of hesitation.

The route from Yixian City to Wuyou City had many options, and the fastest and safest wasn’t this one.

But at the time of departure, Luo Chen specifically chose this ”more dangerous” route.

As for the reason, he did not say.

But Xiang Fei could vaguely guess a thing or two.

Perhaps because she had spent so much time with Luo Chen, she had gradually become able to capture the thoughts and style of this profound and unreadable elder.

His style was always cautious, but at the critical moment, he would never hesitate to take a risk.

This journey was no exception!

However, after more than three months had passed, and with only a short distance left to Wuyou City, Luo Chen’s expectations might be dashed.

Suddenly!

Xiang Fei was taken aback.

A tall figure had already emerged from the carriage and stood beside her, gazing into the distance.

”Senior, what is it?”

”Is that the Destruction Mist?”

Luo Chen’s unique calm voice spoke, seeming like a question but actually affirming.

Xiang Fei was startled, and then followed Luo Chen’s gaze towards the vast Gobi Desert a thousand miles away.

Unknowingly, the sky had turned pitch black.

A massive amount of mist was spreading across the sky, covering everything.

The blackened sky seemed like a ferocious beast opening its mouth wide, ready to devour everything in this world.

Xiang Fei trembled all over and hurriedly said, ”Yes, that black mist is the Destruction Mist, one of the three great calamities!”

Looking at the distant mist, Luo Chen’s eyes showed a look of contemplation.

Destruction Mist!

According to legends, it appears once every ten thousand years, annihilating all living beings.

Even when the cycles of ages shift, they enter an era of great destruction. Not just life but even the heavens, the earth, and the sun, moon, and stars, will vanish.

Of course, that level of Destruction Mist hasn’t appeared for a very long time.

In the past millennium, even if it appeared, it was mostly a small-scale Destruction Mist, posing danger to humans and livestock at best.

Moreover, its appearance was often near the barren regions on the edges of the Seventy-two Cities.

This route to Wuyou City was chosen by Luo Chen because he wanted to try his luck before reaching the city, to see if he could witness the so-called ”Destruction Mist” and verify if it was as terrifying as the legends said.

”You go ahead and continue forward, don’t stop, I’ll be back soon!”

With those words, Luo Chen jumped off the carriage, heading towards the vast black mist, going against the flow.

”Senior!”

Xiang Fei couldn’t stop him; she could only watch as Luo Chen’s figure became increasingly obscure.

Before she could marvel at Luo Chen’s speed, Xiang Fei pushed the carriage faster.

A distance of a thousand miles was covered in a moment.

Not long after, Luo Chen stood on a towering stone pillar, curiously observing the surging black mist below him.

According to records, this small-scale Destruction Mist was not dangerous.

The strength of any major city could defend against it.

The real danger lay in the ”Fog Beasts” or ”Chaos Beasts” mingled within.

These creatures would kill anything they encountered, even consuming livestock, which is why tall city walls like those of Yixian City and Mo Feng City were needed for defense.

Having encountered it this time, and with confidence in his own strength, Luo Chen naturally wanted to experience it.

He took a deep breath, locked his acupoints, and drew the Yuan Tu Sword from his waist, standing solemnly.

Finally!

The black mist swept past his body!

In that instant, Luo Chen’s body stiffened; he felt his blood turn cold, his thoughts sluggish, especially with the latent tremor in his Divine Soul within the Sea of Consciousness, almost jolting it awake.

Luo Chen let out a low hum, and his vast qi-blood rotated, with Blood Refining Divine Gang surging out, forming a Gang Qi Protective Shield around him.

”This situation is too horrifying; is it just me or do others feel the same?”

He didn’t understand.

Although the mist appeared strangely colored, in other aspects, it was no different, yet it felt immensely dangerous.

Moreover, something was coming from the depths of the fog.

The Red Eyes Golden Pupils were activated, yet the turbid mist obscured his vision.

At this moment, Luo Chen was even more surprised.

His eyes had been cultivated since the Qi Refinement Stage, experiencing countless upgrades and transformations, now possessing the effects of Breaking Void, Break Illusion, and even Breaking Space!

It wasn’t just ordinary mist; even Divine Capability Art by a Divine Transformation Great Power might not hide or deceive his eyes.

Yet now, it couldn’t even penetrate the thin mist?

”Truly bizarre!”

Luo Chen held his breath, facing off against the enemies emerging from the mist with his sword in hand.

Chaos Beasts!

In harmony with his mind, the Yuan Tu Sword let out a resonant sword cry.

...

Whoosh!

A streak of blood-red light sliced through the sky.

It finally landed on a rapidly moving carriage.

Xiang Fei rose with joy to greet him, ”Senior, you’re finally back.”

”Mm.”

Luo Chen nodded, his expression somewhat gloomy.

He looked down at the longsword in his hand, the Yuan Tu Sword, which had reached the Spiritual Treasure level and should have been chilling, yet now appeared somewhat dim.

The bizarre Chaos Beasts, in his view, weren’t very powerful.

With his strength wielding the Yuan Tu Sword, it was said to be one slay per swing.

But shortly after a slaughter, the sword spirit of Yuan Tu Sword sent a warning, implying that if the fight continued, the sword spirit might suffer serious damage.

”Truly worthy of being the top of the three great calamities, the Destruction Mist!”

Luo Chen exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi and sheathed his sword.

Xiang Fei couldn’t help but exclaim, ”Senior, you truly possess unparalleled skill and courage. In the past, those major cities encountering such scale Destruction Mist would merely defend against it bit by bit, barely holding off the Chaos Beasts until the mist dissipated. Yet you ventured in alone and emerged again; such strength is indeed rare in this world.”

If it were before, Luo Chen would have been happy to hear such praise.

But now, he was not in the mood for it.

He couldn’t perceive the reality of the mist, nor see through the essence of the mist.

This was hard for Luo Chen to accept.

If his Divine Perception could be projected outwards, could he grasp its essence?

To this question, Luo Chen had no answer, but his subconscious told him it would probably end in vain.

He merely accepted a reality.

If the millennial Destruction Mist descends, all life will be buried within, even those in the Leakless Realm!

And if the legendary epoch transmigration, the great Destruction Era comes, this heaven and earth might also perish.

”No wonder beings like True Monarch Xiao Lan and the Master of Wuyou Realm among the Seventy-two Cities are contemplating how to escape to the Returning Ruins.”

”They must have personally witnessed the power of the Destruction Mist and seen its inherent danger.”

”This trip to Wuyou City must uncover the exact date of the next great Destruction Mist attack!”

A crisis pressing on Luo Chen’s heart, brought about by the passage of time.
