Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 983: Chapter 398: Sky Roc True Body Chapter 983: Chapter 398: Sky Roc True Body Above the Nine Heavens.

The gale was piercing cold, and clouds tumbled and rolled.

A slender figure stood amidst them, eyes slightly closed, as if comprehending something.

Luo Chen recalled the conversation with Wang Yuan not long ago.

“Your cultivation technique originated from the ‘Sky Roc Transformation.’ I do not know what future path it may take, but at least it is still based on this technique. Instead of seeking other methods, why not trace back to the source and display the advantages of this body in the most orthodox manner?”

“Class Demon Change?”

“Exactly!”

“But wouldn’t such a transformation increase the size of my body, giving the enemy a larger area to attack?”

“Don’t you know that after transforming, your speed will also be enhanced? Moreover, the several forceful killing moves recorded in ‘Sky Roc Transformation’ all require the Sky Roc True Body to be perfectly performed. Considering this, there’s no need for you to go far in search of other methods. Of course, on this basis, I will construct some additional killing moves for you to fill in the gaps.”

Those words awakened Luo Chen from his reverie.

He had only thought about finding human techniques to utilize this body,

but he had forgotten that “The Flow of All Things” was itself derived and completed based on the ‘Sky Roc Transformation.’

Forsaking what is near to seek what is far is not the correct path.

To trace back to the source and return to essentials, that is the true way.

“The Sky Roc demon beasts are known for their extreme speed, and I have already practiced ‘Ninety Thousand Miles’ prior to this.”

“With a transformation into the True Body, I should naturally be able to perform the several moves recorded above.”

Once Luo Chen was certain of this direction, he no longer hesitated.

His eyes suddenly sprang open!

Following the steps recorded in the cultivation technique, he invoked the power of his blood qi, impacting his flesh and bones.

Under the surging of his vast blood qi, his entire body began to transform rapidly.

His hands turned into sharp talons, his body swelled immensely, and his eyes were as piercing as spikes…

In just a moment, a colossal figure resembling a bird of prey appeared above the Nine Heavens.

But even at this point, the transformation was far from complete.

“Armor!”

With a low shout from Luo Chen, piece after piece of pure white armor appeared on his body.

Crack, crack, crack…

Like the feathers of a Sky Roc, the armor completely covered his thirty-foot body.

“Still not enough!”

Luo Chen’s eyes bulged as a torrent of blood qi washed over the scapula bones on his back.

The Fiery Cloud Wings he had previously specially refined were stimulated and unfolded in an instant.

Unlike the illusory wings previously created with spirit qi, this time they were based on a magic tool, supplemented with a vast amount of blood qi, instantly evolving into a physical form and thunderously spreading outward.

In the blink of an eye, wings triple the size of his body sprung forth, trailing clouds!

As the wings unfolded, a layer of fiery red halo gradually spread and then settled upon the demon body.

If there were immortal cultivators present, they would likely mistake him for a real Fiery Fire Cloud Roc from afar.

The wings, like clouds descending from the heavens, had a divine majesty reminiscent of an Ancient Great Demon.

Enveloped in a red glow, he appeared like the true fire god from within the flames, captivating the soul!

Yet only Luo Chen knew that his Sky Roc Transformation was mixed with something else.

On his demon body’s back, a spine resembling that of a thunder dragon was emitting silvery-white light.

It was Luo Chen’s first transformation, and he was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

But there were methods to get accustomed to such a transformation.

The next moment, he stretched his wings and vanished from his original position.

He shot away like an arrow far into the distance.

Not only that, but after darting hundreds of yards in an instant, he abruptly stopped and soared into the high sky.

He soared and circled, dancing in flight.

Through continuous flying, Luo Chen became more familiar with the body after transformation.

“Next, it’s time to test those few killing moves.”

“First will be the Cloud Probing Claw!”

The Cloud Probing Claw is another name for the Sky Roc Talon, derived from different variations, leading to the Thunderclap Claw, the Gold Severing Claw, and the Cloud Probing Claw.

Although Luo Chen obtained a body comparable to a Tier 3 Primordial Desolate Beast through Thunderbolt refinement, he ultimately chose the transformation of the Fiery Fire Cloud Roc.

Therefore, the most suitable claw attack for him was the Cloud Probing Claw.

With Luo Chen’s form transformed, the giant Sky Roc plunged down from the clouds of the upper heavens, a colossal talon sweeping out from the clouds and ferociously striking toward a towering mountain peak on the ground.

Whoosh!

Five streaks of fiery red light flashed by.

The next moment!

The thousand-foot mountain peak was cleanly severed at its waist under the might of this one claw!

The mountain collapsed, the breaking point as smooth as a plane.

As Luo Chen turned his body, the flapping of his wings sent his immense blood qi surging.

The severed mountain then uncontrollably collapsed in one direction.

Boom!

As the mountain peak plummeted to the earth, a deafening noise echoed for hundreds of miles around.

Countless birds took flight in alarm, many beasts ran in panic.

Even scattered Qi Refinement Stage Rogue Cultivators emerged, surprised, from their opened Immortal Mansions, fearfully watching the scene unfold.

Atop a small hill, Wang Yuan’s pupils contracted.

“Indeed, it’s only by transforming into the Sky Roc True Body that this physical form can be pushed to its strongest!”

“That blow, had it struck me, even had I reached Power Transformation Completion, I would struggle to dissipate it.”

“But…”

Wang Yuan, stroking his chin, watched Luo Chen fly back into the sky, his eyes betraying a reflective mien.

“Some aspects are still too rough.”

“After all, it’s only the incomplete Sky Roc Transformation… If I were to combine it with my Giant Spirit Transformation, perhaps that could compensate for this shortcoming?”

“Furthermore, the utilization of the Demon Body is far too superficial.”

As he pondered,

Luo Chen was up in the sky, freely stretching his body, practicing the associated killing moves to perfection.

Cloud Probing Claw, Fiery Fire Shield, and later on, he even tried to cast techniques with the Demon Body.

The Fiery Fire Cloud Roc was a fire series demon beast.

He was also adept at fire type techniques.

If the two could be merged, their power would undoubtedly surge tremendously!

In power, it would definitely be no less than a true Tier 3 Fiery Fire Cloud Roc!

At last!

A gentle breeze swept through, Luo Chen donned new clothes, and descended upon the small hill.

“How do you think it went?”

“How do you feel?”

The same question uttered in unison from both of their mouths.

The two exchanged a smile.

Luo Chen stretched his body, and his limbs emitted crackling sounds from his bones.

“I feel great! With this state, deploying the Thunderbolt Strike, I could sweep through the Foundation Establishment Stage, I’d even dare to battle a Golden Core Ascendant Master!”

Suddenly being able to fully utilize the power of this body made Luo Chen slightly arrogant for a while.

However, Wang Yuan soberly doused him with a bucket of cold water.

“The means of a Golden Core Ascendant Master are not something you or I can imagine. Moreover, you’re still too unfamiliar with the transformation, and the techniques after transforming aren’t systematic enough; they still need improvement. Otherwise, with too many flaws, any one of them could mean your death.”

Luo Chen put away his smile and listened seriously to Wang Yuan’s assessment of his display as a demon body.

Any hint of his earlier smugness slowly dissipated in his mind.

He recalled his battle with Di Wanyun.

The strength of a Golden Core Ascendant Master was indeed not something he could fully fathom at present.

In that battle, Di Wanyun was outsmarted at every turn, his mind muddled, and his edge blunted by Luo Chen.

But even after displaying every skill he had, he barely scratched his opponent’s skin.

If it weren’t for the Third-Order Formation that Min Longyu granted him, channelling the Power of Thunder accumulated for a thousand years above the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain,

He probably would never have been able to severely injure Di Wanyun, let alone kill him.

If he truly wanted to face a Golden Core Ascendant Master with ease, he had a long way to go.

“Let’s go!”

“Let’s head back first. Once I thoroughly contemplate, I’ll complete your combat techniques. That ‘The Flow of All Things’, I want to study it as well; I feel it will provide a lot of insights for my advancement to the Furnace Realm,” said Wang Yuan slowly, not hiding his affection for this Body Refinement Method.

Luo Chen nodded, harboring no thoughts of keeping secrets.

If Wang Yuan could share his lifelong learning of the “Secret Manual of the Wang Family” with him once, he could naturally respond in kind.

“Oh, right!”

Suddenly, Wang Yuan halted, looking at Luo Chen’s lean figure.

“After we get back, you should eat more, you’re so thin you’re practically a bolt of lightning.”

Luo Chen was astonished.

The mountain breeze blew, rustling his clothing.

The gaunt Luo Chen couldn’t be called a bolt of lightning, but his tall figure combined with his thin appearance indeed resembled a bamboo pole.

He shook his head helplessly.

After returning, he really would have to eat more.

Gu Caiyi wasn’t the only one who said he was too bony!

It was only Sima Huiniang, with her plump figure, who didn’t find him too discomforting to hug.

“Perfect, I have a little chef goddess at home!”

“It’s time for her to shine!”

Luo Chen smiled and left the barren land with Wang Yuan.

As for nourishing himself with food, Luo Chen wasn’t worried at all nowadays.

With the abundant manpower of the Luo Tian Creed at his disposal, as long as he wished, all kinds of ingredients could be delivered to his doorstep.

Bai Meiling had researched plenty of recipes over the years, and it was the perfect opportunity for her to showcase her talents.
