Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

With a single gesture, the heavens and earth transformed.

The vast Yuan Qi swept in, like a tidal wave crashing against the shore.

Countless Gu insects, originally hidden within the Wind-Ripple Pavilion, were forced to reveal themselves under the relentless assault.

One by one, the Gu insects rose and fell amidst the turbulent waves, their forms unstable.

A pair of sharp eyes watched those insects struggling in despair, without any intention of making a direct move.

He allowed the immense aura of death to transform into abundant vitality, letting the Gu insects greedily devour it.

With each devour, the power of the Withering and Flourishing Finger gradually diminished.

But those Gu insects...

Bang!

A Gu insect, resembling a withered cicada, had its wings turn an intense green, its body swelling like a balloon until it burst, transforming into a cloud of blood mist.

This was not an isolated case.

Like a chain reaction, as one Gu insect burst, a series of explosion sounds followed, akin to firecrackers.

Crackle and pop!

With a connection of minds, the initially ferocious expression of Master Li Tian changed dramatically.

His Divine Soul Endowment was strong, making him one of the best among those at Luo Chen’s level of Nascent Soul, and even when the Glazed Gu was destroyed earlier, he could easily suppress the backlash to his Divine Soul.

For this reason, during their confrontation, Luo Chen directly refrained from using the Ghost-God Evading Technique, which was meant for confusing opponents.

Though the Ghost-God Evading Technique was a useful soul technique, if seen through during a fight, it could subject the user to attacks they would have otherwise dodged thinking they were safe.

However, no matter how strong the Divine Soul Endowment, how could it withstand the continuous destruction of hundreds upon thousands of connected entities?

With each impact, Master Li Tian staggered backwards, his face contorted.

”Why is this happening?”

”What kind of technique is this, and why can’t the Wind-Ripple Pavilion absorb it?”

Faced with his bewilderment and dismay, Luo Chen naturally didn’t provide an answer.

Since his battle with True Master Shenyuan, his understanding of the Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger civilization had reached its peak.

When used normally, vitality transitions into deathly intent, capable of harming enemies, even causing their physical body and Qi Power to slow and disperse.

However, when the technique is reversed, the aura of death transforms into vitality, capable of delivering a saturating blow to those who delight in devouring.

The so-called cycle of withering and flourishing, the transition of life and death, is precisely this!

And the aura of death within the Yin Yang Residual Realm — how vast and mighty is it?

At this moment, led by him, how could a mere Wind-Ripple Pavilion possibly absorb it all?

He stood quietly in the void, as the waves of explosions caused by the self-destruction of countless Gu insects impacted around him, but did not move him, protected under the divine light emitted by the Ping Mountain Crown.

A powerful Divine Consciousness expanded outward, searching for something.

After a moment, Luo Chen’s eyes lit up, and he beckoned to the void.

Swish!

A platinum light flickered and returned.

It was precisely the Platinum Sword Pill that had been previously bound.

At this point, Luo Chen did not stop.

His gaze suddenly focused on the two Yin and Yang Fish that roamed freely amidst the Yuan Qi disturbances.

”Life and Death Gu!”

His eyes brightened as he took steps towards those two Gu insects.

Suddenly, a breathtaking Sword Light slashed down.

Luo Chen did not dodge or evade, but instead, with a reverse grip, flicked the Yuan Tu Sword in his hand.

Boom!

Under the tremendous impact, Luo Chen remained unmoved, like a mountain.

Yet in the air, the Corpse Rotting Sword had begun to crack with an almost imperceptible sound.

”Without the Wind-Ripple Pavilion’s suppression, Master Li Tian, what else do you have to rely on?” Luo Chen calmly said with a smile, casting a sidelong glance at the two escaped Yin and Yang Fish, moving away among the aftermath of the battle.

Halfway up in the air, Master Li Tian’s arm trembled slightly as he held onto the Corpse Rotting Sword, his face full of unwillingness.

”If only the Life and Death Gu had reached the fifth order, if only the Wind-Ripple Pavilion still had the fifth-tier Divine Gu for suppression, could you have disrupted it with a single move?”

Luo Chen never indulged in what-ifs.

In battle, he only concerned himself with the present.

Seeing the two Yin and Yang Fish moving farther away, his expression momentarily hardened, preparing to chase after them.

Even though the Life and Death Gu obtained from the Black Coffin was not as exaggerated as Meng Shentong claimed it to be at the fifth order, it certainly had great potential, having guarded it until his demise.

Such a precious item, having been encountered, why not seize it?

Seeing Luo Chen’s intentions, Master Li Tian’s eyes filled with rage.

Not only was his own primordial Demon Heart Gu taken, now the opponent coveted even the Life and Death Gu that he painstakingly sought after.

”You push too far!”

With a furious shout, he cast a frantic seal gesture.

”Explode!”

At the sound of his explosive command, tens of thousands of buzzing noises erupted.

Those remaining Gu insects making up the Wind-Ripple Pavilion instantly exploded, transforming into a terrifying storm aimed straight at Luo Chen.

Seizing the opportunity, Master Li Tian shot forward, rushing towards the Yin and Yang Fish.

The terrifying storm enveloped Luo Chen, his figure flashing in and out of view, staggering as if hampered, unable to advance.

Even the Protective Light Screen from the Ping Mountain Crown and the Protective Qi Armor of the Xuan Chen Armor began to waver under such an assault.

Luo Chen sighed, his expression abruptly turning solemn.

Opening his mouth, a gray miniature Cauldron flew out, spinning.

The gray miniature Cauldron grew larger in the wind, expanding into a giant of three hundred feet in the blink of an eye.

Intense Spirit Light flickered from it incessantly, along with a butterfly motif seemingly about to soar into the sky.

The Giant Cauldron stood amidst the storm, like an indestructible reef.

A low voice resonated through the air.

”Suppress!”

The overwhelming storm fell silent in an instant.

The boundless waves vanished in a flash.

Many Gu insects in the midst of self-destruction inexplicably ceased.

Even though the two Yin and Yang Fish were unaffected by the turmoil before, after the Primordial Chaos Tripod appeared, they inexplicably shrank back, no longer attempting to flee.

Even Master Li Tian, who was dashing forward at speed, found himself inexplicably slowing down, as if trapped in a quagmire.

His eyes showed fear as he watched Luo Chen effortlessly catch up, crossing the void in a few steps to where the two Yin and Yang Fish were.
