Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The Second Ring.

A figure slowly emerged, with the surrounding chaotic energy surging like a tide.

The figure in white stood silently for a long time, as if adapting to the environment.

After a moment, he finally took a step forward.

The Ring of Annihilation is divided into three cultivation areas: upper, middle, and lower. However, even within the Upper Three Rings, the pressure between the Second Ring and the Third Ring is vastly different.

Under normal circumstances, it is challenging to linger in the Second Ring without being in the Destruction Realm.

Thus, for all these years, only the Master of the Wuyou Realm has been cultivating alone in the Second Ring.

Here, there is only one cultivation stone!

Before Luo Chen ascended, he had already prepared himself. His current true spirit body, far surpassing the Great Vajra Physique, should withstand the external pressure.

Especially his martial arts realm in the late-stage Human Immortal Realm, which is unlike any ordinary human.

On the surface, Luo Chen is in the late-stage Human Immortal Realm.

But in reality, his acupoints contain seven hundred and twenty martial spirits, each comparable to an ordinary Martial Arts Human Immortal.

With the accumulation of these seven hundred and twenty spirits, he fears not even a Destruction Realm expert.

As he anticipated, in just a brief moment, he adapted to this pressure.

”With such dense chaotic energy, I reckon the law fragments contained within must be more abundant.”

”If I could cultivate here long-term, perhaps the Primordial Chaos Tripod could gather more Power of Law Origin.”

”However, time...”

Luo Chen sighed, quickening his pace.

Eventually, he arrived at a cultivation stone.

Unlike the vast, island-like cultivation stones in the Third Ring, this sole cultivation stone in the Second Ring is rather small, accommodating only one person in solitude.

Yet, it is the only one that can withstand the erosion of chaotic energy for tens of thousands of years without destruction.

Luo Chen had been curious about the material of these cultivation stones.

But none of the learned tomes recorded anything related.

Even the Master of the Wuyou Realm did not understand it fully; he merely speculated that it might be some sort of chaotic product.

After the incident with the Primordial Chaos Tripod, Luo Chen has become increasingly sensitive to chaotic products.

Could something that endures chaotic energy erosion qualify as a Daoist Artifact Embryo?

Others may have no solution for this, but Luo Chen is different.

The Primordial Chaos Tripod can refine even chaotic energy; perhaps it could refine these cultivation stones.

If given a chance to leave the Returning Ruins in the future, Luo Chen plans to take one or two stones for detailed research once outside.

But for now...

Standing on the cultivation stone, Luo Chen raised his head, gazing towards the sky.

Amidst the endless, storm-like chaotic energy, a colossal eye seemed to overlook below.

In the exchange of glances, Luo Chen even felt as if his vision, his consciousness, and even his latent divine perception were being swallowed.

”This is the Gate of Annihilation!”

With his red eyes and golden pupils fully activated, Luo Chen realized that it wasn’t a gate shape at all.

It was an incredibly terrifying spatial vortex!

It wasn’t a rift or a solitary space node but a composite of countless space rifts and nodes.

If it were steady, it wouldn’t be as daunting!

Yet within, space rifts surged and intertwined endlessly.

Numerous space nodes were also highly unstable, and within the brief moments of Luo Chen’s observation, countless of them collapsed and vanished.

Each time a node collapsed, a complex space storm would form.

These space storms would then generate more space rifts.

Ultimately, forming a spatial vortex with roots unseen!

Chaotic energy was spat out under such circumstances.

Gradually, Luo Chen seemed to be entranced.

Three days later.

He shuddered, waking from his daze.

His face, unmoved even before the collapse of mountains, was filled with shock and bitterness.

”Even someone skilled in spatial law like Qing Shuang would struggle to maintain themselves here, eventually being ground to oblivion!”

Heaving a sigh.

Luo Chen turned to leave.

He understood why the Master of the Wuyou Realm guarded the Gate of Annihilation for three thousand years, yet ultimately gave up.

Unless possessing absolute power, no one would dare attempt to traverse this spatial vortex unless absolutely necessary.

This, while the spatial vortex is in a ”dormant” state, according to the Master of the Wuyou Realm.

If it were to fully erupt, its danger level would rise a thousandfold.

Moreover, there seemed to be an even more perilous and complex entity inside, instilling fear from within.

Luo Chen knew this was his final retreat; unless he had no better choice, he wouldn’t leave through it.

Exiting the Second Ring, Luo Chen did not pause.

Without greeting anyone, he descended to his starting point—the Ninth Ring.

Unnoticed, he retrieved a golden page from his storage ring.

This was the Golden Corrosion Array Map!

The text was a unique gold erosion text from the Immortal Realm, and after three years of guidance from the Master of the Wuyou Realm, Luo Chen could recognize the vital parts.

But this was not important.

What mattered was that the Golden Corrosion Array Map could control the Nine-layered Immortal Tower!

Deploying a Blood Refining Divine Gang, the Golden Corrosion Array Map emitted a rich golden light, enveloping Luo Chen.

In a flash, Luo Chen’s figure disappeared from the Ninth Ring.

Reappearing, he found himself in the array core of the Nine-layered Immortal Tower.

Gazing at the still-operating broken formations, Luo Chen fell into contemplation.

After a long while, he finally made a decision.

He formed a dao law method, and with a thought, a martial spirit flew out from within him, landing on the ground.

In their mutual gaze, the martial spirit gradually gained spirituality.
