Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

The sound, akin to shards of glaze shattering, echoed crisply within the solemn and majestic Ancient God Dojo.

A golden claw, covered in menacing scales, slowly emerged from the Other Space.

This scene left everyone dumbstruck.

For this was the Ancient God Dojo!

This was the Returning Ruins, which devours all, destroys all!

Why would such an existence appear?

Even the many seasoned Returning Ruins Martial Artists were at a loss before this spectacle.

Clang!

Accompanied by a loud bang, another claw stretched in, seeming to grip the edge of the crack.

Between the two claws, golden light continuously spread, dyeing everything golden.

Along with it came a furious roar.

”Foreign Evil God, how dare you invade my Golden Punishment Realm!”

The terrifying roar left one with no self-control, the shock to the Divine Soul further annihilating all.

When the crack expanded sufficiently, the entity behind could no longer hold back, and struck at the Thirty-Three Layers of Divine Mother Hall across space.

”Not good, it wants to destroy the Source of Compassion Light!”

The Master of Wuyou Realm blurted out.

In the next moment.

The Thirty-Three Layers of Divine Mother Hall radiated brilliantly.

A rich milky-white power gathered together, manifesting as the image of a gentle and benevolent woman.

Her ethereal form adorned not with gold and jewels, but draped in flowing white gauze.

The hem of the robe was studded with countless star-like crystal tears, enhancing its sacred compassion.

Her right hand held a Pure Light Lotus, with galaxy-like vortexes spinning within its heart, reflecting worlds as if saved by it.

Her left hand lowered, lightly pinching the Compassion Seal, her five fingers intertwined, seemingly containing infinite power.

It was the image of the Mother of Compassionate Light, reflected in the consciousness of every Returning Ruins Martial Artist upon entry.

Facing the giant golden claw that descended with destructive force, the Divine Mother’s left hand maintained its seal gesture, while the milky-white brilliance dripped from her fingertips transformed into countless luminous white sparrows, charging forward with the resolve of moths to a flame.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion followed by continuous blasts filled the air.

In this explosion, the Divine Mother’s image grew increasingly ethereal, even precarious.

Until finally, the giant golden claw slowly withdrew, and the Divine Mother’s image could no longer sustain, crumbling and shattering into thousands of milky-white streams, returning to the Thirty-Three Layers of Divine Mother Hall.

This scene gripped the hearts of all Returning Ruins Martial Artists.

If it were earlier, they would not have understood what this meant.

But after the corpse’s explanation, everyone realized the Thirty-Three Layers of Divine Mother Hall had suffered heavy damage.

The Source of Compassion Light itself was lost, bereft of self-awareness.

The divine image conjured could at most be a reflexive response to danger.

Once might be bearable, but a few more times... the Divine Mother Hall would be destroyed, and their chance to leave the Returning Ruins would drop to zero.

Everyone’s expressions changed!

And just then, a more furious roar came from the ever-expanding rift.

As if failing to destroy the Source of Compassion Light, the entity was exceedingly enraged.

A giant head forcibly squeezed its way in.

Its face was flush red, all blood and flesh, devoid of skin, as if its face had been flayed.

It had no nose, just the root, as if someone had gouged it out.

The sole distinctive feature was within its all-white eyes, resembling the tattoo markings of a criminal!

As this head appeared, countless gazes instantaneously fixated upon it.

It exhaled in long breaths, looking down below.

Every individual bore traces of the foreign enraged deity’s breath.

”A swarm of ants, are you the followers of the Evil God? Before the great Golden Punishment Venerable, will you not kneel?”

”Golden Punishment Venerable? Could it be that the senior is a Mahayana Heavenly Venerable?”

The Master of Wuyou Realm gently floated upward, arriving beneath the terrifying visage and asked, yet his face showed not a hint of fear.

The entity known as Golden Punishment Venerable sneered, ”Do not apply your Human Clan titles to my esteemed self. I am the great True Spirit indeed!”

The Master of Wuyou Realm nodded thoughtfully.

”Although not a Mahayana of the Human Clan, yet a True Spirit strong enough to rival a Heavenly Venerable, presumably already condensed a complete Power of Laws; otherwise, it would be impossible to traverse the Returning Ruins World.”

His remark appeared as self-talk, but his voice was loud, reaching every martial artist below.

Especially the phrase ”complete Power of Laws!”

In an instant, the original worried expressions of martial artists exploded with unimaginable brilliance.

Golden Punishment Venerable paused.

Their gazes were filled with hunger, eagerness, excitement, even readiness, lacking any trace of the fear a subordinate feels toward a superior.

Why is this?

Luo Chen was also among them.

When he heard the Master of Wuyou Realm deliberately utter that sentence, he instantly realized something.

Endless Returning Ruins, a cosmic digestive ground naturally formed.

In the flow of epochs, all beings, gods, ghosts, demons, even celestial realms, would be devoured and annihilated by it.

For martial artists like them, it was furthermore a colossal prison.

Trapped within, any who reached the Martial Dao Human Immortal Realm endlessly pondered how to escape this place.

Over millennia, myriad Martial Arts Human Immortals devised countless ways to leave.

The space vortex, known as the Gate of Annihilation, the Chaos Thunder Pool touching the heavens, the ultimate place where stars are destroyed...

Each method perilous beyond measure, yet nonetheless prompting relentless pursuit.

Among these methods, there is a legend circulated among all Martial Arts Human Immortals.

It is the hunt for Mahayana Heavenly Venerable!
