Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen held an umbrella in one hand and grasped the Yuan Tu Sword in the other.

”Slash!”

Sky-high Sword Qi erupted mightily.

Severing that terrifying Meteor Fireball in half.

The sound of the meteor’s roar echoed in Luo Chen’s ears. Before he could catch his breath, he heard the Bone Umbrella crack above his head.

He realized that the hurriedly transformed Qi Power from Blood Refining Divine Gang had not undergone Primordial Spirit refinement and could not fully activate this Spiritual Treasure.

Especially!

Luo Chen surveyed his surroundings, where the surging Chaotic Energy contained even more terrifying power.

It was a force imbued with the cosmic power brought about by the saturation of more Law Fragments.

Even a Spiritual Treasure with consciousness could not withstand such a powerful impact.

”Luo Chen, where should we go?”

The voice of Gu Xun rasped from behind.

The Empty Bud Crystal House had long been destroyed, and the remnants of the Ancient Bell were nowhere to be found.

All that could protect Gu Xun were the Prayer Beads in his hand and the black light constantly emerging from him.

Under the influence of that black light, Gu Xun’s breath surged continuously, yet his vitality rapidly waned.

Where should they go?

Luo Chen scanned the surroundings; the space was indistinguishable from day or night, devoid of direction, as if up and down and left and right were all turned upside down.

Only the intent of destruction permeated within.

If before he was merely planning one step at a time.

But at the moment he reassembled the Chaos Undying Body, he faintly sensed a place in the outer world.

That place seemed like a coordinate, guiding him forward unerringly, preventing him from losing his direction.

”Follow me closely!”

After speaking those words, Luo Chen said no more.

The trio trudged forward in the Destruction Space with difficulty.

Time passed once again.

Hiss!

The moment he heard that sound, Luo Chen knew the Bone Burial Umbrella was destroyed.

It must have been hit by an energy cluster containing the Gold Attribute Law, shattered irretrievably on the spot.

Luo Chen felt regret but had no time to mourn the loss of the Spiritual Treasure.

He opened his mouth and spat out.

A Small Tripod whirled out.

The Small Tripod emitted gray light, enveloping him completely.

With the support of this gray light, Luo Chen’s steps became more relaxed, nearly doubling his speed.

Behind him, Fang Qingxue saw this scene and paused in surprise.

The Flower Basket in her hand was long gone, replaced by another Precious item.

The Master of Wuyou Realm, having presided over the Great Destruction Realm for three thousand years, had collected countless treasures.

Although he had taken the finest of them, what remained with her were still rare and valuable items, including the Heaven Connecting Spiritual Treasures rumored in the outside world!

Through a special refining method, they could also be activated with Lifebound Gang Qi.

But the effect...

She instinctively looked back.

Only to see Gu Xun’s Prayer Beads shatter, his whole body suffused with black Qi suddenly dissipated, and he, like a withered tree, was swept far away by the vast airflow.

Another companion had fallen.

Fang Qingxue felt her steps growing heavier, as she watched Luo Chen drift farther away, her heart filled with ever-more despair.

She knew that here she could only rely on herself and shouldn’t expect help from others.

Especially since Luo Chen had already been quite righteous, guiding them with the Nine-layered Immortal Tower upon entry, taking the brunt of the impacts, and constantly leading the way.

But the longer they stayed in this place, the more lost and confused she felt inside.

”Can we really make it out?”

Buzz...

The flame of the blue lantern in her hand extinguished.

Fang Qingxue felt her steps become so heavy that she could no longer take another step.

A storm approached from the front, pushing her uncontrollably backward.

It was at this moment.

Whoosh!

Five blood dragons roared forth, transforming into a giant hand, grabbing her and pulling her forward.

Chaotic gray light poured down, engulfing her, and she felt relieved.

Instinctively, she looked up at Luo Chen, but he said nothing and continued to focus ahead, steadily moving forward.

Silently, the two continued their journey.

Time passed without knowing how long, and the gray light above grew dimmer, as if it might disappear at any moment.

When another space storm came, Luo Chen faced it like a deadly enemy, frantically activating the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

The muffled thud echoed between two anxious hearts.

”Puff!”

A mouthful of blood was spat out, and Luo Chen’s face turned pale.

Finally, he managed to withstand this wave of impact.

But this time, it wasn’t just one wave of space storm attacks.

It seemed like they were nearing the exit, and the surrounding space storms were erupting furiously, the space cracks appearing like massive nets, impossible to evade.

Rumble!!!

Another wave of space storms arrived, and Fang Qingxue finally made a decision.

”Thank you, Brother Luo.”

She voluntarily stepped outside the protection range of the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Luo Chen barely managed to turn his head for a glance, seeing the maiden engulfed by the space storm, disappearing from view.

He opened his mouth, ultimately saying nothing.

Considering the Master of Wuyou Realm, and Fang Qingxue’s act of shielding him with the Flower Basket upon entering this place, he did not turn a blind eye, protecting her while he still had the strength.

But now he was unable to even protect himself, ultimately having to focus on his own path forward.

The following came the successive space storm impacts, with Luo Chen immersed within as if a fisherman in a tsunami.

The Primordial Chaos Tripod was pushed to its limit repeatedly, with gray light constantly blooming.

It was the complete Power of Law, enough to counter the Law Fragments within the Chaotic Energy.

But manpower is limited, and after all, the Primordial Chaos Tripod was not a legendary Dao Artifact.

After the terrifying series of seven storms had passed, the gray Small Tripod shone no more, even showing signs of cracking.

With a pained expression, Luo Chen collected it into his body.

The road ahead he would have to endure with his newly cultivated Chaos Undying Body!

Not only that, but he also activated the dormant Vacuum Divine Gu within.

Though now the Vacuum Divine Gu could only incite weak space turbulence, unable to directly confront the space storms, it still could work to some effect.

Unexpectedly... as he moved forward, the space storms became smaller and fewer!

Like the earlier wave of seven storms was simply the last darkness before dawn.

”What a pity.”

In Luo Chen’s mind flashed the image of Fang Qingxue’s bittersweet face before she left, forcing him to take solitary steps forward.

Meanwhile, in his mind, that destination grew clearer, as if just a few steps away.

The Vacuum Divine Gu responded to the feeling, spreading wings of dreamlike starlight, carrying Luo Chen outward.
