Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1492: Chapter 555: Fierce Battle with the Great Demon King at the Pinnacle!

”Is that the Third-Order Late-Stage Great Demon King?”

Rushing through the sky, Luo Chen’s expression was solemn.

Beneath his feet, the battle flames were sparse, indicating he was gradually reaching the outskirts of the island, away from the main battlefield.

His speed was still unslowed, but the distance between him and his pursuers had significantly increased, allowing Luo Chen some time to reflect on the previous fight.

After some consideration, he had a precise assessment of his current strength.

With a burst of Qi Power, a single sword strike could take down early stage Third-Order Demon Beasts.

With a proficient Technique at hand, even mid-stage Third-Order Demon Beasts would struggle to withstand.

But facing a late-stage Third-Order Great Demon King, with his current methods, it would be quite strenuous.

Although that Great Demon King from the Nine-Clawed Poison King Crab Clan was at ease, he himself had also released the long-cultivated Fierce Fire Miasma, as well as the Soul Breaking Three Nails.

Both of these major moves were deployed, with the Fierce Fire Miasma consumed by the Demon King’s venom and the Soul Breaking Three Nails losing the Armor Breaking Nail and Qi Breaking Nail, with only the Soul Nail remaining.

Even so, he only managed to gain a slight upper hand.

In a life-or-death struggle, he would need to use even more techniques.

Moreover, considering the pollution of the Nine-Clawed Poison King Crab Clan’s venom, both his Xuanhuo Sword and Primordial Chaos Tripod were not suitable to be used, with the odds of winning being a mere four to six.

To win without a doubt, perhaps only by transforming into the Sky Roc True Body!

”Great Demon King...”

Luo Chen uttered softly, feeling nothing but emotion.

At this realm, he had already begun to catch up to his peers among the Human Clan, and even if somewhat inferior, he was nearly on par due to his racial talents.

With his current strength, without unleashing his full potential, fighting above his level was indeed somewhat difficult.

If outsiders knew of his thoughts, they would likely roll their eyes.

With merely the Golden Core Fourth Layer Realm, he had successively broken through several Demon King blockades and even briefly gained the upper hand against a Great Demon King.

Even so, still not content, it was truly hateful!

After some analysis, Luo Chen reached a conclusion.

In human form, with his Golden Core Fourth Stage Realm, whether in terms of the robustness of Qi Power, Divine Soul Endowment, or various techniques, he was no less than a Third Order Great Demon.

Translated to the Human Cultivators side, it also matched his earlier assessment.

He would have enough self-preservation ability against late-stage Great Cultivators.

With preparation, he might even compete with a Golden Core Seventh Level Great Cultivator!

But if he unleashed the complete strength of the Primordial Third Order Body, the scales of victory would start to tip in his favor.

As Luo Chen pondered.

His expression suddenly changed.

Through his enhanced eyesight, a huge figure emerged from the sea, holding the lifeless corpse of a giant Ring-Headed Turtle.

Upon surfacing, the figure lifted the turtle’s carcass with its claws, hurling it towards his direction.

The scene looked as if it was throwing a mountain!

The attack was sudden.

It was even surrounded by a vague aura of Demon Soul spiritual pressure, making it unavoidable.

Under the shock of his changing expression, Luo Chen began to retreat, his right hand waving the Xuanhuo Sword in intricate trajectories.

His left hand was forming seals non-stop.

Finally, he thrust the sword towards the massive Ring-Headed Turtle carcass.

He shouted loudly.

”Collapse!”

Raging Qi Power poured out from the Xuanhuo Sword, exploding brilliantly in the sky.

A loud bang was heard.

Boom!!!

In the sky, the carcass of the Ring-Headed Turtle, which seemed as massive as a mountain, instantly collapsed.

Blood splattered like magma, flesh and bone shattered like rocks.

The already cracked shell, under the impact of Qi Power, shattered further into sharp fragments, blasting in all directions.

Following the Mountain Collapse technique, the Sword Light whistled sharply.

Swoosh!

It shot directly at the rapidly approaching enemy.

Clang!

In an instant, the sword seemed to strike an indestructible steel plate.

Luo Chen concentrated and looked closely, before drawing a cold breath.

In the sky, a behemoth, like an island, stood majestically.

Its claws shone dazzlingly like gold, incomparably sharp.

The unrivaled Sword Light from the Xuanhuo Sword, upon encountering the closing of those claws, couldn’t advance an inch.

Luo Chen’s mind stirred, trying to recall the Xuanhuo Sword, but no matter how he controlled it, the sword steadfastly remained unmoved.

His heart began to sink.

Looking at the behemoth, a familiar sense surfaced in his heart.

”It’s him!”

A sense of familiarity surfaced.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this Demon was the very King Crab that chased after Black King in the past.

Back then, the Demon had not shown its true form, appearing ordinary, and Luo Chen, not wanting to cause trouble, thought to spare it.

Now, fully revealing its true form, it spanned seventy zhang in radius, suspending in the air, akin to a city in the sky.

Its powerful breath permeated, awe-inspiring.

The late phase of the Third Order, almost reaching Perfection!

Luo Chen swallowed hard, a heavy solemnness thick in his eyes.

This was akin to a being comparable to a Clan Chief among the Five Great Royal Demon Crab Clans.

This time, he had truly hit a wall!

As he observed his opponent, the golden claws also looked at Luo Chen with murderous intent.

”Are you the mastermind behind Tianxuan Island?”

In front of the Demon Beast, Luo Chen saw no point in hiding.

Besides, the other party was blocking the way, and with the immediate full-force strike, there was no chance for a verbal compromise.

”So what if I am?” Luo Chen said.

The golden claws sneered viciously, its huge golden body quivering with the sound of trembling bones.

”In that case, leave your life behind!”

With that, the claws snapped shut.

Crack!

Under Luo Chen’s watch, the trembling Xuanhuo Sword finally shattered, breaking into pieces that fell to the ground.
