Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1495: Chapter 556: Perish Together, A Palm Sinking the Sea_2

At the moment of striking, they recklessly attacked each other, seeking only to exchange wounds for wounds, life for life.

One turtle and five crabs, six colossal beings, used the most direct physical confrontation and intense demon techniques, fighting each other straightforwardly.

The scale of the battle was so immense that it forced the lower order demon beasts of both sides to retreat from Mysterious Rock Island, with only third-order demon kings permitted to stay and observe the battlefield.

On Mysterious Rock Island, the bloodiest battle thus commenced.

...

Crack!

Perhaps it was the fierce battle that caused the turbulence of the Heaven and Earth Qi.

Or perhaps it was the impending extinction of a tribe that made the heavens mourn.

As the great battle slowly came to an end, dark clouds gathered over the Mysterious Rock Sea Area, and the atmosphere was heavy.

Within the pressing layers of clouds, lightning snaked wildly, and the sound of thunder was deafening.

A storm was approaching, and gigantic waves were about to crash.

The pockmarked and cratered Mysterious Rock Island was flooded with vast amounts of sea water flowing backward.

Some of the originally standing peaks also collapsed in disarray.

The five clan chiefs of the Demon Crab side, each gasping for breath, stood scattered around.

Their bodies were covered in wounds.

The severely injured, like Lv Xiu, were cleaved open in half.

Even the powerful Jin Hun and Chi Yan had broken claws and legs.

In their hearts, they all felt a significant amount of fear.

Patriarch Hai Luo, possessing the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis as a protective treasure, was formidable in strength and caused dread.

Fortunately, his strength lay in defense, not offense.

Otherwise, in this battle, at least one or two of the five demons would have fallen.

At this moment, their gazes turned with terror towards the center of the battlefield.

Old turtle Hai Luo lay there quietly, motionless.

Upon closer inspection, three out of his four limbs were severed, his shell overturned and his plastron shattered, revealing large patches of flesh dyed red with blood.

Such a pitiful sight caused the surviving members of the Ring-Headed Turtle Clan, their eyes red, to weep inconsolably.

Clan Chief Hai Luo, after reaching third-order, had embarked on the Xuan Turtle Ancestral Return path.

His current predicament was no different from being dead.

”No different” meant he had not completely fallen yet!

Jin Hun slowly spoke, ”Patriarch Hai Luo, if you hand over the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis willingly, I can leave you with a complete corpse.”

A deep, heavy breathing sound came from Hai Luo’s mouth.

He struggled to open his eyes, scanning his surroundings.

He did not look at Jin Hun first but turned his gaze to the dozens of eager third-order demon crab kings all around, and finally, his gaze settled on the surviving tribesmen under a distant mountain.

He spoke softly, ”Hand it over willingly? To whom? To you?”

Jin Hun’s brow furrowed. He almost immediately sensed the malicious looks from the other four demons.

What a crafty old turtle, scheming even on the brink of death!

However, he was not very flustered.

”Just hand it over, and we will decide who gets it.”

Hai Luo tugged at the corner of his cracked mouth, ”Is the only condition to leave me a whole corpse?”

Jin Hun snorted coldly, ”I am already being considerate of you as our elder. If you are still unsatisfied, then I can decide to let your clan’s survivors leave the Mysterious Rock Sea Area and choose another place to live.”

At this statement, Lv Xiu fiercely protested, ”No, we cannot let the tiger return to the mountain; it will be an endless trouble.”

Zhu Xiang of the Demon Spider Crab Clan shouted, ”Short-sightedness! They are nothing but homeless dogs to be afraid of.”

Nine Claws spoke ominously, ”After all, they have been our neighbors for so many years. It’s indeed not very nice to exterminate them completely.”

Chi Yan laughed loudly, ”My tribe has traveled through the Underworld Sea Trench Volcano for years; I happen to know a good place suitable for the Ring-Headed Turtle Clan to settle in.”

Lv Xiu was resentful, ”You all are generous, but now my Dao cultivation is ruined. If we allow them to rebuild, my Blue Emperor Crab Tribe will be the first to suffer. I do not agree to release them!”

This mother crab has lost her senses!

First, get the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis, then what happens next, isn’t it all up for them to decide?

Chi Yan’s offer wasn’t bad either; a familiar place to monitor and even enslave the Ring-Headed Turtle Clan was not out of the question.

Just as Jin Hun was about to speak, his gaze landed on Lv Xiu, and he suddenly realized.

Lv Xiu causing a fuss at this moment feared not against the Ring-Headed Turtle Clan but was negotiating terms with them!

While they were restrained by internal conflicts, old turtle Hai Luo let out a deep sigh.

”Enough!”

”With three of the old turtle’s limbs gone, how can there be a talk about a complete corpse?”

”What’s more, it’s better to rely on ourselves than on others. The future of my tribe must remain in our own hands!”

Upon these words, the five crabs’ complexions changed simultaneously.

Were they still prepared to resist desperately?

Chi Yan became furiously angry, ”You old fool, can’t you see the situation clearly even now?”

Nine Claws puzzled, ”The Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis has been given up; what other means do you have?”

The rest were also unclear about why old turtle Hai Luo still had any confidence.

Under their confusion, Hai Luo softly said, ”In my clan, it’s not only the old and frail me who has reached third-order perfection.”

Qi Huan!

An instinctual response, a name came to mind.

At that moment, Zhu Xiang abruptly looked up at the sky.

Silver lightning raced, and thunder roared.

Over Mysterious Rock Island, the surging spirit qi was in utter chaos.

Before, it was assumed to be the consequence of their battle.

But now, it seemed entirely different.

Such spirit qi was not the demon qi they had refined but pure Heaven and Earth Qi.

It emanated from the earth vein and came from the sky.

That sensation, it was as if...

”Turning the false into true, Ancestral Return Transformation!”

”No good, Qi Huan is actually forcing the Transfiguration Thunder Tribulation at this moment.”

Seeing the plan exposed, Hai Luo had nothing to worry about.

He had dragged it out for so long; all the preparations that could be made had been made, and all the efforts that could be exerted had been exerted.
