Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

The battle lasted for another 2 hours with not a single victor coming out from either side. The Wyrm was strong as it was a Saint Transformation 6th realm beast, and the Commander was strong because he had the strength of nearly 40 different soldiers behind him.

However, anyone that wasn’t an active participant in this battle could see that the fight was coming to an end very soon.

The two sides had attacked each other for so long that each side had lost a lot of their strength and was soon going to be running out of Qi to even continue the fight.

The Scale Legion’s battle array was either highly inefficient or the people in that group were having to spend way too much energy to constantly save themselves from the shockwaves and blasts that came from fighting the Wyrm.

The Wyrm was also running out of Qi. Out here in the sky, it wasn’t doing as well as it probably could’ve had the battle take place in the ocean.

Both of the fighters noticed this as well.

“Men, give me all you have,” the commander shouted. “This is our only chance.”

“YES COMMANDER!” everyone shouted at once, giving everything of what they had to the Commander, making him that much stronger, but for just a single attack.

As soon as he had the power, the commander initiated the attack, giving the Wyrm absolutely no time to run away or use some technique.

His sword glowed with bright white light, but it did not come from his Sword Qi. Instead, the light zapped a bit, letting everyone realize what it was.

A lightning attack, and a very strong one at that.

The commander pulled his sword back and stabbed forward. The lightning left the blade, zigzagging through the air, lighting everything in its path as it moved toward the wyrm.

As it flew, it took the shape of a dragon with its mouth wide open as if it wanted to devour the Wyrm whole.

The Wyrm panicked as it sensed the strength of the attack, but it did not shy away from the attack. Instead, it used an attack of its own.

Ice crystals formed around the beast coalescing in front of it as it formed a strong barrier. It was using the Ice Dao it had learned to form a strong barrier in front of it, using not only its own Qi, but the Qi from the surrounding to power up its shield.

The lightning dragon struck the barrier that had formed and broken it into pieces after a bit of struggle, but in doing so, it had reduced in strength by so much that the Wyrm wasn’t even wounded a little.

It came out angry from the lightning strikes, its feathers burned a little at best.

“You damn human!” it cried out. “You… You actually…”

The Wyrm knew that they were fighting seriously, but it had never considered death to be part of the outcome at all. With how long it had survived as the one who ruled this section of the ocean for thousands of years, death was not a concept it thought much of.

Would it die in the future? Yes. Was its death close? The Wyrm was sure it could go on another few thousand years before even having to think about that. Not to mention, there was a chance, however slim, that it would even become an Immortal.

As such when the attack came, one that if he wasn’t careful had the strength to kill him instantly, he got mad.

He got mad at the 40 different people standing in front of it. It got so mad that it was going to kill all of them, right then and there.

The Commander had lost a lot of his strength, becoming weaker than how he was originally. The battle array was doing little to help the commander now.

His body was haggard as he watched what the wyrm did next. .

The heaven and earth seemed angry all of a sudden as the air itself began to shake and fear from what was happening.

It seemed to shift around everyone as if something strong had appeared n the surrounding. Even the people standing inside the boat got concerned as they too could sense it all.

The two Elders standing around Alex got concerned, and Alex’s face changed as well. He had sensed this sort of power before. Only one time.

As the Wyrm’s body radiated blue, and an enormous blue wyrm spirit appeared behind it, everyone knew that the Wyrm was using its Immortal Qi.

Since Saint Qi turned to Immortal Qi somewhere around Saint Transformation’s 5th realm on average, the Wyrm had to have enough Qi to send out a truly strong attack.

The 40-some soldiers started backing up as they were scared now. They had expected this outcome, but they had hoped the commander would defeat the beast before it came to this.

They even had a secret technique when push came to shove, and yet… it was all for naught.

Water tendrils formed around the Wyrm as it used its Immortal Qi to form an attack that had at least 20 different water snakes, all working together to become a massive attack.

Alex looked at the attack and frowned. “I believe they are going to die at this rate,” he said.

“I believe so as well,” Yao Ning answered.

“We should help them,” Alex said.

“As you say, your Majesty,” the old woman bowed.

The Wyrm launched its attack, sending the water snakes flying directly at the commander and his men.

The commander tried to muster his attack, but he had absolutely no strength to do any such thing at the moment. All he could do was watch as the attack destroyed him and everyone else.

He closed his eyes and accepted his fate.

He heard a loud bang and loud cries from behind him. Water splashed onto him, but it came from the top, not the front. Then, he heard a sigh.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw a large golden barrier in front of him. Next to him was the person who had created the barrier.

Yao Ning stood next to him with her arm stretched outward, towards the barrier. Her face seemed without any emotion, maybe a bit annoyed but that was it.

She had stopped an attack with Immortal Qi with just a barrier.

‘No,’ the commander realized. ‘It’s not just a barrier. It’s a barrier with immortal Qi in it.’

The barrier had cracks, but that was all it had. Aside from cracks, it had no problems defending against another normal attack.

“Are you alright?” the old woman turned toward the Commander and asked.

“Y-yes,” the commander said quickly while coming out of his stupor. He checked the old woman with his senses and only then did he realize just how strong this woman in front of him was.

‘Saint Transformation 7th realm,’ he thought.

This woman was strong enough to become one of the head members of the Head Legion itself were she to ever consider joining the Azure Imperium.

“As a representative of the Eastern Continent, you shouldn’t have started this fight when you had so many guests to protect. It doesn’t look very good on you.”
