Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen has engaged in the creation of his own Divine Powers.

And he has done so more than once.

First, there was the Withering and Flourishing Dao, followed by the Star Fire Burning Realm.

Recently, there is the Heaven and Earth Reversal.

But when taken into account closely, each situation is completely different.

The Withering and Flourishing Dao was a natural result during the realization of the Law’s True Intent.

The Star Fire Burning Realm was born during the journey through the Wilderness of the Mountain Sea Realm, inspired by witnessing meteorites falling from the sky.

As for the Heaven and Earth Reversal, it was deduced bit by bit based on Xiao Lin’s Forbidden Technique Fragment, and its power primarily lies in the strength of Gang Qi.

What needs to be done now, however, is to create a martial arts Divine Power that belongs to oneself from nothing, without any understanding or sudden enlightenment.

The difficulty of this matter is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Nor can it be achieved by simply summarizing and innovating.

Luo Chen has been pondering how to create even as his realm improves.

Although another five years have passed and his realm has already climbed to the Peak of Mid-stage Leakless Realm, just a step away from the Late Stage Grandmaster Realm, he still has no clues.

For this reason, his steps to the Fifth Ring and Fourth Ring have temporarily halted.

Xiao Lin, who has figured out Luo Chen’s cultivation and resting patterns, frequently comes to visit and discuss. Upon seeing his troubled appearance, he also cannot offer any good advice.

”Your foundation is too deep, your Qi-Blood is unprecedentedly vast, nearly endless. To channel all this into a single move as you wish, how easy can it be?”

Indeed!

This is the crux of the problem.

Luo Chen’s foundation is truly too strong!

A Fifth-rank True Spirit level physical body can bear everything.

The Primordial Chaos Tripod tirelessly converts Chaotic Energy day and night, causing the Qi Blood Power accumulated within him to be massive.

The condensed Blood Refining Divine Gang is exceptionally formidable.

The benefit lies in that, during combat, he can overwhelm the opponent with sheer dominion.

Even the simplest move in his hands possesses unparalleled power.

Just like the Bending Flower Finger move, Xiao Lin knows it, and so does Luo Chen.

When Xiao Lin performs it, he can weaken the enemy’s strongest attack inch by inch, greatly reducing its power.

One might say it is a very good method of dulling the enemy’s edge.

But in Luo Chen’s hands, it is not bending flowers but destroying them; pointing a finger directly annihilates and disintegrates the enemy’s attack.

These are his advantages.

Imagine if such terrifying power could be concentrated together and then exploded instantly, how great would its power be!

That would not be just a full-powered hit.

It would be a destructive strike.

Destroying the enemy while also destroying himself.

Because after that move, he would be spent completely and enter the weakest state he has ever been in.

It can be said, this is the most extreme move!

But just like Luo Chen told Gu Xun, ”How else to surpass the Returning Ruins?”

Only by transcending one’s extremes can one leave the path leading to the destructive extremes of the Land of Returning Ruins!

Even in Luo Chen’s view, the top-tier martial artists of the Land of Returning Ruins are all seeking the extreme.

The Gate of Annihilation, so dangerous, yet it is rumored that people still forcibly venture into it.

The Mahayana Venerable, the pinnacle of ordinary Immortal Cultivators, even possessing a place in the Immortal Realm. Yet, there are still those who devise mad schemes of slaying the Mahayana Venerable, attempting to use the fully condensed Power of Laws created by the venerable ones to escape Returning Ruins.

Even in the far reaches of the Corpse Remains Immortal Domain and the Sea of Stars, someone is persistently seeking a doctrine to depart.

Once Luo Chen entered the cultivation of the Annihilation Nine Rings, his path to the extremes was already set.

Originally, it was intended to consider it upon reaching the Fifth Body Refining Realm at the Martial Arts Human Immortal stage.

Now, it is just a step early.

But how exactly should it be done?

Thousands of threads seem like a complex web of lines, unable to find an end.

Luo Chen, frustratingly, told Xiao Lin, ”Indeed, success and failure come from foundations. Even if I actively collapse the Qi Blood Furnace and open seven hundred and twenty acupoints, it wouldn’t achieve the simultaneous explosion of all my power. After all, no matter how well tempered the acupoints, they still are merely insignificant external pathways on the body. It’s not like I can explode my body!”

”Unlock all restrictions and explode your body? That would be too dangerous, simply a mutually destructive Jade and Stone Burn Together move.” Xiao Lin disagrees; that is not an extreme, but self-destruction.

However, he notices that Luo Chen, after saying those words just now, is inexplicably lost in thought.

Xiao Lin gulped, ”You’re not really thinking that way, are you?”

Luo Chen waved his hand, explaining he didn’t have a self-destructive tendency, but he remains deep in thought.

Furthermore, he murmurs softly under his breath.

”Acupoints...”

Evidently, during the conversation, Luo Chen seems to have found some inspiration.

Xiao Lin quietly sits opposite, ceasing his interruptions.

In the midst of the fragrant tea atmosphere, the ambiance is quite harmonious.

As if Luo Chen was never his child-killing enemy!

Perhaps, for people of their realm, those who abandon everything to enter the Annihilation Nine Rings, so-called blood ties have long diminished to the extreme.

The pursuit of the Path of Martial Arts, the outwardly broadening horizons, and the freedom to escape the cage of Returning Ruins—this is what gives meaning to life.

The time; it’s uncertain how much has passed.

Suddenly!

Xiao Lin seems to sense something, intuitively raising his hand, and fingers to block in front of him.

Layers of Qi membranes appear before him, and within those membranes, golden scales spread out, shining brilliantly.

This move is named ”Golden Scale Armor”, inspired during his discussions with Luo Chen on ”Blood Cloth Clothes”, then crafted into a defensive technique according to his own situation.
