Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen silently chanted and made a knife gesture with one hand.

In the next moment, a streak of pitch-black fissure arduously materialized before him.

Just as it was about to coalesce, Luo Chen’s brow suddenly furrowed.

He shook his hand slightly, dismissing the move.

Looking again at his palm, cracks had already appeared.

”Not knowing the details and not understanding the Law, it’s ultimately too forced.”

Luo Chen no longer worried.

The Vacuum Divine Gu should have more wondrous uses, but that requires more time to ponder and develop.

However, right now, he didn’t have the time for that.

Luo Chen returned to where the Cultivation Stone was, where four figures were anxiously waiting.

Fang Qingxue, Gu Xun, Xiao Lin, and the Ice Emperor.

The Wild Barbarian Martial Sect ultimately failed.

Being too old, he didn’t have time to break through to the Martial Arts Human Immortal.

And this woman, the Ice Emperor, succeeded by a stroke of luck before the deadline, becoming one of the companions for the upcoming journey through the Gate of Annihilation.

Seeing Luo Chen return, the four all breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Qingxue came up, ”You’re finally back. Earlier, the Nine-layered Immortal Tower emitted an unusual vibration; we thought it had started. If something had happened to you, then we’d have even less hope.”

”I made you worry. I was just experimenting with some things earlier.”

The vibration of the Nine-layered Immortal Tower was related to the Vacuum Divine Gu attempting to devour this space.

But...

Luo Chen put away his smile and looked upwards.

The Gate of Annihilation was crazily swallowing Chaotic Energy, causing vibrations a thousand times stronger than before!

”Soon, soon!”

Everyone could sense this and understood what Luo Chen meant by ”soon.”

In their mutual gaze, the Ice Emperor emitted a gender-ambiguous deep voice.

”Luo Chen, what do we do next?”

She was the last to break through, had the fewest high-Realm techniques, and was the least confident about leaving the Returning Ruins.

Luo Chen said solemnly, ”Although the Nine-layered Immortal Tower is already dilapidated, it has its unique qualities to have stood in the Returning Ruins for so long. When the critical moment arrives, you should hide at the core of the Immortal Tower, relying on it to withstand the first wave of impact. Afterwards, we seize the opportunity to rush into the Gate of Annihilation, using its intermittent phases to leave the Returning Ruins.”

The Ice Emperor was surprised, ”That simple?”

Luo Chen nodded, ”Yes, that simple.”

Gu Xun on the side said seriously, ”The challenge has never been how to enter the Gate of Annihilation, but how to survive the complex and terrifying impacts inside, and make it to the Outer World. The difficulty of that, even the Master of Wuyou Realm shies away from, is not as simple as you think.”

The Ice Emperor was momentarily speechless, visibly somewhat dejected.

She hadn’t prepared enough time, even if she luckily broke through to the Human Immortal Realm, but under those circumstances, she feared...

The others had no time to worry about her, and the reality of giving her this opportunity to leave together was already considered a favor.

Fang Qingxue was a little curious, looking at Luo Chen, ”Brother Luo, you said for us to hide at the core of the Immortal Tower to avoid the first wave of impact. What about you?”

”Me?”

Luo Chen smiled, confidently looking at the Gate of Annihilation that was writhing crazily.

”For me, the first wave of impact will be an opportunity.”

Everyone was momentarily puzzled.

...

On the desolate expanse of land.

Unnoticed, a gust of Sky Wind suddenly rose.

More and more dense fog emerged from an unknown source, slowly but inexorably enveloping the entire world.

Within it, the roar was incessant.

Wherever it passed, all living things perished.

Lightning and thunder shook the Soul between the heavens.

Space Cracks, each as long as ten thousand feet, opened like the gaping maw of the Abyss.

The once bustling Seventy-two Cities were already dead silent.

The Sky Dome Tower Forest was lifeless.

The Pit of Sorrow, with the earth cracking, was engulfed by endless mist.

A space the size of a foot or so sank deep underground, shrouded by a Primordial Magnet Ore Vein.

In the space was a green figure, coiled with a snake’s tail, seemingly asleep.

When the mist arrived, the space began to shatter inch by inch, and that Green Robe blinked, barely reacting before turning to ash, merging into the Destruction Mist.

The former Corpse Remains Immortal Domain, long devoid of bone seas and thousand mountains, was filled with shocking Space Cracks.

In the Sky Wind Department, the lives of millions were extinguished silently.

In the Sea of Stars.

Dan Yang, the Star Sect Master, sat cross-legged above Ziwei Yuan as the Sun Dial beside him gradually dimmed.

He looked up at the sky.

Only to see three great suns crashing down like fireballs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Returning Ruins vibrated, intensifying the annihilation.

In various hidden spaces, all were soaked by mist, gradually being destroyed with the Returning Ruins.

Even the Space Gap where the Ancient God Dojo resided revealed a massive gap.

But when the Destruction Mist surged in, there was nothing left inside.

The once resplendent Thirty-Three Layers of Divine Mother Hall had vanished without a trace.

...

The entire world was dark, without light.

Only one Space Vortex was expanding rapidly.

The deep opening resembled both a door and a black hole capable of devouring everything.

That was the location known as the Gate of Annihilation.

The Nine-layered Immortal Tower, which barely covered it, was already diminished, standing on the ground below.

Unrestrained, and empowered by the Returning Ruins’ final destructive force, this Space Vortex had expanded to tens of thousands of feet.

The entire world seemed to be on the verge of being completely devoured as it expanded.

In its continuous cycle of expanding and contracting.

Boom!

An incomprehensibly vast shockwave burst forth from the opening!
