Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2645: Chapter 976: Bone-Crafted Boat, Great Power Arrives from the East

Luo Chen had always been plotting his departure from Soul Island.

Unlike conventional voyages, he couldn’t wait for calm seas; instead, he had to take the opposite approach.

Under calm winds and waves, the Netherworld Sea is fraught with hidden dangers and suppresses the divine soul intensely; given his limitations in spreading divine consciousness, it’s easy to fall into peril.

Conversely, when the wind and waves are turbulent, the undercurrents have already erupted, and although they look more dangerous, the danger is only on the surface.

In such conditions, as long as one is cautious enough, there’s always a chance of escape by countering moves.

In recent days, Luo Chen had been refining the Ten Thousand Array Gu left by Hong Ye Granny.

It must be said that the lineage of Southern Border Gu Cultivators may be slightly weaker in direct combat power, but their approach of using Gu insects to aid cultivation and combat is quite commendable.

Just like this Array Gu!

Normal array masters can naturally use precious items like Array Flags and Disks to assist in setting up arrays, but the effect and speed depend entirely on the array master’s capability.

But with the Array Gu, it is entirely different.

These living Gu insects inherently contain numerous foundational prohibitions; the array master only needs to rearrange and redistribute them on this foundation to quickly achieve the desired array.

Even if there’s some inadequacy, the array master can add other prohibitions to piece together a new array.

Such auxiliary functions make one plus one greater than two.

Especially for array masters like Luo Chen and Hong Ye Granny, it’s like adding wings to a tiger.

Refining the Ten Thousand Array Gu is a contingency plan for Luo Chen.

If he can’t hold on in the Netherworld Sea, at least he can use the defensive arrays prepared by the Ten Thousand Array Gu to buy himself a brief respite.

Originally, Luo Chen always had a preparation in place for this stage, and that was the Black King!

Whether in cultivation, travel, or battle, Luo Chen had chosen to have the Black King accompany him constantly to suddenly appear and provide him with a chance to recover.

But when the Netherworld Sea Waves unexpectedly came, they were forced to separate.

Now, he could only seek another solution.

Ten Thousand Array Gu is a good choice.

”I wonder how the Black King is doing now?”

At dawn, Luo Chen donned the half-ruined Xuan Chen Armor and stood silently on the coast.

Thinking of the Black King, he couldn’t help but feel a rare hint of worry.

The South Ocean is mysterious and dangerous; without his protection, the Black King, although strong, would find it hard to make progress.

Especially at that time when the Netherworld Sea passed by, all living beings perished—could the Black King have avoided this undeserved disaster?

Within his Sea of Consciousness, there was a drop of the Black King’s Soul Blood.

Under normal circumstances, he could use it to sense the Black King’s life and death status.

But on this Soul Island, he couldn’t sense anything. After all, even his own divine consciousness couldn’t spread too far; how could he expect to sense a drop of Soul Blood?

Only by leaving the Netherworld Sea could he regain sensing the Black King’s status!

And the day of departure is today!

With a thought, Luo Chen’s body suddenly transformed in the next moment.

Hiss!

A flickering blue flame emerged, transforming into a thin veil that enveloped his entire body.

This was the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire!

Yet it was different from before.

The strength of the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire hadn’t significantly increased, but its detailed utilization far exceeded the past.

At least Luo Chen had never been able to achieve such meticulous transformation before.

The fire clothes were thin and transparent.

Yet they covered his entire body without leaving any gaps.

This is the benefit of a strong divine soul endowment, allowing meticulous control over the Fifth-Order Divine Fire.

Thus, while the power hadn’t increased, the consumption of Qi Power was greatly reduced.

And this is the confidence with which Luo Chen dared to traverse the Netherworld Sea!

Since the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire could safely protect him arriving at Soul Island, it should do the same when departing.

Crash...

The waves in the Netherworld Sea had recently been quite turbulent, ceaseless day and night.

Luo Chen cautiously stepped into the murky waves.

As soon as he entered, there was a crackling sound from the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire on him, as the evolving fire clothes were constantly consumed.

However, with Luo Chen’s Qi Power supply, the fire clothes were continually replenished.

”Even if it means exhausting all my Nascent Soul Power, I will get out!”

Luo Chen steeled himself, resolutely diving into the vast Yellow Sea.

...

Crash!

Another giant wave struck Soulbreak Cliff.

As the waves receded, Luo Chen’s figure reappeared on the black sand beach.

It had only been the time for a cup of tea since he set off.

Failed?

However, there was no look of disappointment on Luo Chen’s face; rather, he was quite intrigued.

He left the black sand beach and stood on a nearby reef, gazing into the distance, as if waiting for something.

He didn’t have to wait long.

About the time for a cup of tea later, something enormous appeared in his sight.

A patch of bright red rising and falling in the Yellow Sea.

Luo Chen’s eyes sparkled, and he blurted out, ”It’s indeed it, the Ghost Immortal Tower!”

When another giant wave came, the Soul Island immediately emitted the sound of a huge object collision.

Boom!

After the tide receded, the ghostly figure of the Ghost Immortal Tower appeared.

Just one glance revealed numerous tempting shadows with swirling ghost qi.

In a blur, there seemed to be immortals wandering high above, amidst ivory towers, above the biting cold.

But with a low shout from Luo Chen, all illusions vanished.

”No wonder it’s the Desolate Beast Ghost Immortal Tower; even in death, its illusions still remain.”

Luo Chen uttered a word of praise but was not panicked.

Given his current strength in divine soul endowment, these passive illusions couldn’t affect him.

Without the illusion’s cover, Luo Chen saw the true form of the desolate beast thoroughly.
