Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Fang Qingxue and the others dared not take it lightly, taking a deep breath and releasing their Gang Qi to protect themselves.

Moreover, numerous exotic treasures adorned their bodies.

Fang Qingxue, in front of everyone, donned a thin gauze robe, shimmering with radiant light, appearing extraordinary. She then released a flower basket that enveloped her entirely. She glanced at Luo Chen, somewhat hesitant.

Gu Xun’s face was solemn; he first swallowed a black elixir, then wore a string of prayer beads on his hand. Additionally, a damaged ancient bell hung high above his head. Finally, he scattered a handful of crystal stones, forming a very small space that enclosed him.

In contrast, Xiao Lin and Ice Emperor appeared rather poor.

Xiao Lin barely had time to slap a yellowing Talisman onto himself, which emitted powerful Spirit Qi without restraint.

Luo Chen glanced at it, a bit surprised, but then understood instantly.

That Talisman should have been left by the Abandoned Immortal Xiao Lan, simply triggered by Xiao Lin.

But he was not versed in the Qi Refining Technique, regardless of how formidable that Talisman used to be, now it likely couldn’t exert half of its effect.

Meanwhile, Ice Emperor looked pale, repeatedly urging her Protective Gang Qi.

The Returning Ruins Martial Artist pursues the Path of Martial Arts, not relying on external objects.

She was promoted to the Human Immortal Realm too late to have time to find a Protective Treasure.

Thus, she could only face the impending storm with such an almost ”unarmed” stance.

She instinctively cast her gaze towards Luo Chen.

At this moment, Luo Chen had already moved in front of everyone, a blood-colored radiance flowed all over him, forming a blood-colored cloth robe.

With hands extended forward, a Divine Shield emerged.

Moreover, starry light and thunder erupted within him, completely surrounding him.

”It’s coming!”

The voice was uttered without knowing when.

Immediately followed by an ear-deafening explosion, ringing in everyone’s ears.

Boom!

The Nine-layered Immortal Tower shattered with a roar.

An incredibly terrifying shockwave surged from outside inward.

Luo Chen stood at the forefront, letting out a muffled grunt.

He withstood the first wave!

But still couldn’t help but retreat backward.

Fang Qingxue seeing this, her face finally resolute, took a step to move beside Luo Chen, the flower basket above enveloping him as well.

The surrounding airflow swept by, making the gauze robe on her body flutter in the wind.

Gu Xun, Xiao Lin, and Ice Emperor, positioned relatively further back, thus did not encounter the destruction impact of the Nine-layered Immortal Tower, but the subsequent shockwave still rolled toward them.

The speed was too swift for the three to react, leaving them no choice but to defend themselves passively.

Rip...

The Talisman on Xiao Lin’s body tore open, a streak of blood appeared on his face.

Gu Xun shuddered all over, the Empty Bud Crystal House that sheltered him issuing a jingling sound.

As for the Ice Emperor, she widened her eyes, her pale lips slightly parted, yet not a sound came forth.

Boom!

The shockwave passed, the Ice Emperor was torn into pieces, vanishing from this strange space.

Realizing this, the surviving four all showed dramatic changes in their expressions.

”Don’t stop, keep moving forward!”

Luo Chen uttered in a calm, almost ice-cold harsh voice.

He strode out, leaving the protective range of the flower basket, resolutely moving forward.

Fang Qingxue glanced at Luo Chen’s back, gritting her teeth to follow.

The remaining two hastily followed as well.

...

The Red Eyes Golden Pupils cast a gaze outward.

It was streaks of pitch-black cracks, transparent nodes expanding and contracting, masses of flowing gases surging.

Occasionally, meteorites appearing as large as stars appeared but would be instantly obliterated.

A sense of cosmic destruction, all things returning void emerged in Luo Chen’s mind.

He even experienced a fleeting moment of revelation, as if some insight had once again surfaced briefly.

But soon, Luo Chen collected his thoughts, calming down.

The space vortex known as the Gate of Annihilation was once only a hundred feet in size.

But during the destruction of the Returning Ruins, it was unknown how large it had expanded.

A thousand feet, ten thousand, a million, or ten million?

Luo Chen didn’t know, he only knew that here, walking on thin ice, a single misstep would lead to complete demise.

Although he had cultivated the Chaos Undying Body, theoretically able to resurrect from a drop of blood, his bones indestructible, his Martial Arts Divine Intent still intact allowing repeated restorations. But in this space where storms could appear anytime, even the strongest physical body would only undergo cycles of rebirth, constantly being torn asunder, until no resurrection power remained.

Only by continuously moving forward, forward, ever forward!

Time undetermined, a wailing sound came from behind.

Luo Chen did not turn back, knowing that another among the comrades had fallen.

It was probably Xiao Lin!

That Talisman wouldn’t last long.

Who would be next?

Luo Chen did not ponder, the terror of all things destroyed constantly weighed on his heart.

The Heavenly Star Yuan Magnet Divine Thunder was nearing depletion.

The blood cloth robe formed from Martial Arts Divine Power was already tattered.

Luo Chen’s expression flashed a determined look, reaching out a hand.

Swipe!

A large umbrella opened up like a flower blossom.

The Spirit Treasure Bone Burial Umbrella!

The Gang Qi within rapidly converted through the , forming the long-missed Qi Power, barely driving the Bone Burial Umbrella.

Upon the appearance of this umbrella, the Artifact Spirit awoke.

It watched this scene in horror, continuously emitting danger signals.

But Luo Chen ignored everything and continued forward.

”Be careful!”

A voice called out in warning from behind.

Luo Chen was already aware, in his sight, a gigantic fireball resembling a sun was roaring toward him.

That should be a fallen star, absorbed into this space vortex.
