Longevity begins with alchemy master

"Owner?"

When Xiaobai cried for help, the three enemies were all taken aback, and then their murderous intent was aroused!
This woman wasn't alone!
The three exchanged a glance, then tacitly separated, forming a triangular shape to surround Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai, of course, refused to sit idly by and wait for death. As he retreated at lightning speed, his body transformed into countless ghostly shadows.

"So he was a ghost cultivator."

The demonic monk Kongchan was surprised for a moment, then a divination stick appeared in his hand, which he casually flicked.

shhhhhh!
Countless divination sticks flew out of the bamboo tube, transforming into beams of light that struck the ghostly figure.

Puff puff!
With a series of cracking sounds, the countless ghostly figures were all destroyed, and the true form of Little White, which had been hidden among them, was immediately revealed.

In a panic, Xiaobai cried out and slapped to the side.

In a flash of light, a large blue hand met the attack head-on.

boom!
The two clashed, and Xiaobai, being weaker, was forced to stop.

Mermaid Emperor Liu Jun withdrew his hand, clicking his tongue in admiration: "To withstand my palm strike with a ghost body, this female ghost's cultivation is indeed extraordinary. However, that's all for now."

In his sight, a green light suddenly appeared behind Xiaobai, which instantly transformed into thousands of sharp arrows made of grass and trees.

Tai Sui snorted coldly and pointed a finger.

Thousands of sharp arrows from grass and trees converged and shot at Little White.

Faced with this scene, Xiaobai's face turned pale. With her strength, she could barely hold out for a moment even against a Grandmaster of the Upper Realm.

However, among the three people besieging her at this moment, there was a great demon emperor who completely suppressed her in terms of spiritual foundation.

The other two were quite different. One was highly experienced in combat and blocked her escape route. The other was cunning and unpredictable; despite being surrounded by three people, he still managed to launch a sneak attack.

Seeing the attack approaching, Xiaobai tried her best to defend herself, while also activating the protective armor temporarily bestowed upon her by Luo Chen.

A wisp of dark yellow energy instantly spread out.

Ding!Ding!Ding!
A series of dense collision sounds rang out as thousands of sharp arrows from grass and trees rained down on the Xuanhuang Qi shield, shattering it in a matter of moments before striking the black armor itself.

At this point, the previously invincible arrows made of grass and trees became ineffective and continued to fall.

Upon seeing the black armor, Tai Sui instinctively paused for a moment.

"Mysterious Dust Armor?"

In that moment of hesitation, Xiaobai seized the opportunity and swiftly passed through his blockade.

In an instant, Xiaobai broke free from the encirclement of the three and transformed into a streak of light, flying back the way it came.

Behind her came the questioning voice of the demonic monk Kongchan.

"Tai Sui, what are you doing?"

"Don't let that female ghost escape!" Seeing that things were not going well, the Mermaid Emperor Liu Jun immediately gave chase. While chasing, he took out an oil lamp.

With a flick of his finger, a flame shot out, traveling hundreds of feet at an unimaginable speed, about to land on Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai was forced to turn around and exhaled streams of ghostly energy.

Unfortunately, this pure ghostly energy had no effect whatsoever against the blue flames, and was constantly being burned to ashes.

Just when Xiaobai was about to be in dire straits, a shocking scene unfolded.

The blue flames that landed on him scattered like flowing water, eventually returning to their original small flames.

"This!?" Mermaid Emperor Liu Jun was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

That azure flame was the Mermaid Emperor Lamp, a true artifact inherited by his Mermaid clan, nurtured using Mermaid oil. Although it was mainly used to target the physical bodies of wild beasts, it was also quite effective against souls.

But now, the Mermaid Emperor's True Flame was so obediently floating on the female ghost's body.

This is impossible!

"No, it's not you!"

Just as Jiaohuang Liujun came to his senses, a figure walked out from behind Xiaobai. The ambiguous face made Jiaohuang Liujun's eyes widen instantly.

"It's you!"

"Xiaobai, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to me!" Luo Chen gently patted Xiaobai's shoulder and stood in front of her.

"Master, be careful, these three are not easy to deal with," Xiaobai said worriedly, and took off the Xuan Chen Armor and handed it back to Luo Chen.

With the Xuan Chen Armor inside his body, Luo Chen smiled slightly and looked at the three of them.

No, strictly speaking, they were two demonic beasts and a spirit that had taken over the body of a human cultivator.

He ignored the strongest of the three, the demonic monk Kongchan, and instead greeted the other two.

"It's been a long time, Mermaid Emperor Liu Jun, and... Fellow Daoist Tai Sui!"

In the instant he faced Tai Sui, Luo Chen finally understood why this person gave him a familiar and warm feeling.

How could it not feel familiar and welcoming?

Back then, I actually swallowed and refined the true form of the Tai Sui whole.

It was thanks to the Tai Sui itself, a fifth-grade medicinal herb, that he was able to refine a fifth-grade Evolutionary Pill and even pass the second stage of the Nine Tribulations and Three Nirvanas, the physical body Nirvana.

In Luo Chen's view, the reason why he was able to comprehend the true meaning of decay and prosperity in the wood element law by using his fire spirit body, which defied common sense, was also largely due to the fact that he had consumed the original form of Tai Sui back then.

A fifth-order Spirit Tai Sui inherently contains the laws of wood!

The Mermaid Emperor Liu Jun looked at Luo Chen with apprehension, holding the oil lamp in his hand, its azure flames beginning to rise.

"So it was you who secretly infiltrated Nightfall Heaven, Qingyang Demon Lord!"

Behind them, Tai Sui looked at Luo Chen with apprehension, his steps already quietly retreating.

When the Xuan Chen Armor appeared, he roughly guessed who Xiao Bai's master was.

Now that he has actually met him, he can't sense any aura from the other person.

But it was precisely because he couldn't sense it that he became even more terrified!
He had fought alongside Luo Chen before and knew how strong that guy was.

Later, seeing that the other party had broken through the Pill Realm and obtained the Pill Dao inheritance of the Heavenly Demon Lord, he must have become even stronger after so many years.

He even suspected that the renowned Eastern Wilderness Pill Sect was the other party!
Luo Hai and Luo Chen differ by only one character in their names, yet both possess incredibly powerful alchemy skills. Relying on the alchemy inheritance of the Heavenly Demon Lord, Luo Hai could indeed have reached his current level.

If that's the case, then he'll have to consider the achievements of Dan Zong Luo Chen under his other title.

Dan Zong Luo Chen, also known as Wu Xiang Mo Luo, is hailed as the strongest below the Nascent Soul stage, on par with the Demon Emperor Qing Shuang!
Luo Chen noticed his subtle retreating movements.

Luo Chen smiled nonchalantly, took a step forward, and strolled leisurely toward the three of them.

"Fellow Daoist Tai Sui, I haven't even congratulated you on seizing your new body and advancing to the Nascent Soul stage yet. Why do you want to leave without saying goodbye so soon after we met?"

These words caused both demon emperors to look at Tai Sui.

The demonic monk Kongchan frowned and said, "What's there to be afraid of, Tai Sui? He's just one person. Even with that female ghost, it's only two against three."

"Is that so?" Luo Chen scoffed and shook his arm.

Immediately, a stream of black light flowed and coiled along his left arm, revealing a dragon head with prominent horns and claws, staring menacingly at the three of them.

The moment Tai Sui saw the black dragon, he shrieked, "It really is you!"

Then, disregarding his two companions, he fled without hesitation.

"Escape?" Luo Chen raised the corners of his mouth and struck out with his right hand from a distance.

The Azure Sun Great Handprint reappears in the mortal world!

A gigantic palm print rolled forward, drawing in the mixed spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and surged forth in pursuit of Tai Sui.

The moment the giant hand appeared, the demonic monk Kongchan's expression changed.

So strong!

The opponent's casual strike was incredibly powerful!

The Mermaid Emperor Liu Jun's expression changed drastically. He desperately channeled his magic power, and the azure flame on the oil lamp burned fiercely.

However, before he could even unleash the Mermaid Emperor's True Flame, Luo Chen merely glanced at him, and all his actions ceased.

Liu Jun stood there in the air, stunned, his eyes filled with confusion.

The azure flames beside him, now without their master's control, instantly went out of control, transforming into a slender blue fish that pounced and swallowed Liu Jun whole. This devouring was directed at his magical power, physical body, nascent soul, and divine spirit.

Liu Jun didn't make a sound from beginning to end.

He was completely consumed by the true flames that their merfolk had worshipped for countless years.

On this desolate, icy wasteland, only the crackling sound of the azure flames burning fiercely could be heard.

The air was filled with the aroma of burning grease.

The demonic monk Kongchan watched this scene, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He himself was an expert in soul attacks, and knew what kind of soul mastery was required to make a Nascent Soul level demon emperor helpless and even unable to feel pain as he was burned alive.

That's something no Nascent Soul cultivator could do; only a Divine Transformation expert could accomplish!

Is the man before us a Nascent Soul cultivator?
As the black-clad Taoist approached step by step, the demonic monk Kong Chan subconsciously raised his staff, but when faced with those eyes radiating strange light, it trembled and fell.

Until the two were face to face.

Luo Chen gently patted the demonic monk Kong Chan and praised him, "You know what's good for you."

After saying that, he brushed past them and headed towards the center of Yama-ten.

A loud roar came from afar, and voices of praise filled his ears. The demonic monk Kong Chan's face turned red, filled with humiliation and resentment, but in the end he still dared not launch an attack.

He didn't dare to run away.

Because when Luo Chen patted him on the shoulder as they passed each other, he had already imprinted a soul restriction on him.

This single restriction on the soul was enough for Kong Chan to realize just how vast the difference was between him and his opponent in terms of the foundation of their souls.

Xiao Bai stayed where she was, keeping an eye on the demonic monk Kong Chan and the still-burning azure oil lamp.

The Black King detached itself from Luo Chen's shoulder and chased after the direction in which Tai Sui had fled.

Luo Chen, on the other hand, arrived at the edge of that eerie blood lake.

A bizarre battle is unfolding within the Blood Lake.

The giant, formed from countless corpses, walked towards the center of the lake. A massive wave of blood surged forth, washing away the countless corpses that made up the giant.

However much is destroyed, the giant can also gather as much strength as possible.

One after another, they pressed onward!
Luo Chen watched this scene silently, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

After a while, the Black King flew back with a mangled body in its mouth.

“Master, this fat guy is incredibly resilient. He survived taking a direct hit from your Qingyang Great Handprint.”

How could they not be tenacious?
Tai Sui was once a being who cultivated to the fifth level!
Even though his soul had been suppressed by the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven for a thousand years, and even though his physical body had been consumed by Luo Chen, his vitality was still among the best in the world.

Luo Chen looked at the person who was constantly "leaking" air and said indifferently, "Tai Sui, I heard that you've been looking for me all these years?"

A powerful Qingyang handprint shattered Tai Sui's physical body. Furthermore, the fire elemental power contained within prevented the Nascent Soul from self-destructing. At this moment, Tai Sui lay at Luo Chen's feet, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"I only regret not finding you sooner, so you could rise to power!" Tai Sui said bitterly.

Luo Chen shook his head. "Why bother? If you hadn't targeted me back then, we might still be friends who ventured into the Sea of ​​Despair together."

Tai Sui cried out in a mournful voice, "You dare say that if I didn't have designs on you, you wouldn't want to attack me?"

Luo Chen was speechless.

The essence of Tai Sui is a rare and top-grade medicinal material, which would tempt anyone.

Without the original form of Tai Sui, Luo Chen would likely find it difficult to survive the physical rebirth process.

But a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions; it was indeed the Grand Duke Jupiter who made the first move.

"So be it!" Luo Chen sighed, his right palm twitching slightly. "If you die, all past grievances will be wiped clean."

Though the voice was soft, the killing intent was palpable.

At this moment, all of Tai Sui's resentment and unwillingness vanished, leaving only fear.

"do not want!"

boom!
Golden flames erupted from Luo Chen's palm, forming a pillar of fire that pierced through Tai Sui's body.

A series of horrific screams emanated from inside.

The black king beside it instinctively retreated several feet. Even though it knew how strong its master's fire control was, it still felt a deep-seated fear in the face of the golden flames.

This fire can burn away the soul and ignite the spirit!
A moment later, a pile of black ash on the ground disappeared with a gust of wind, leaving only a human-shaped mark.

Black King swallowed hard. "Master, this is a bit of a waste."

It is indeed a bit of a waste. Whether it is the nascent soul formed from this possessed body or the divine soul of Tai Sui, which, although it has not yet formed a primordial spirit, has the essence of a fifth-order spiritual monster, they are both good resources.

But Luo Chen didn't have the mind to deal with these things at the moment.

He slowly raised his hand, and the dazzling Nirvana Holy Fire transformed into a golden phoenix, which stood obediently in his palm, gently pecking at Luo Chen's thick, fleshy hand.

Nirvana Flame, the most yang and powerful flame in the world, is comparable to the legendary True Fire of the Sun.

Especially after Luo Chen completed his soul rebirth, he was able to exert a terrifying burning effect on the souls of living beings.

This is most evident when destroying Tai Sui.

"Although I haven't advanced to the Nascent Soul stage yet, judging from my brief exchange with Li Canghai and the many techniques I possess, I already have the strength to truly fight against a Nascent Soul powerhouse!"

With this thought in mind, Luo Chen's gaze fell upon the blood lake.

He tossed it out with his outstretched hand.

"Go!"

Clang!

The Phoenix Fire Spirit let out a loud and clear cry, circled Luo Chen twice, and then soared into the sky.

As the Phoenix Fire Spirit flew out, its body began to expand and grow, transforming into a giant firebird hundreds of feet long. It nimbly bypassed waves of blood and pounced on the skeletal giant.

This fire spirit seemed to be the natural enemy of the skeletal giant; after it pounced on it, a large amount of eerie green soul fire began to dissipate.

Countless corpses fell into the lake of blood with a splash.

After doing all this, Luo Chen did not recall the Phoenix Fire Spirit, but instead focused his gaze on the person rising and falling in the blood lake.

The man had a face that was both very old and very young, which kept changing as the waves of blood crashed against it.

When Luo Chen's gaze fell upon him, as if sensing something, the person slowly opened their eyes.

A deep weariness lurks within his weathered appearance, while a restless madness lurks beneath his calm exterior.

"Is it true that you can't live without being obsessed?"

Luo Chen murmured something, then reached out and beckoned, and the Phoenix Fire Spirit flew back with a whoosh.

He nodded slightly to the madman, then turned and left.

The madman didn't know what had happened, but he knew he had escaped a disaster.

After Luo Chen's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, the Madman glanced at him gratefully, then closed his eyes.

An even more surging wave of blood rushed in from all around, gradually forming a huge blood cocoon that completely enveloped the Madman.

After a while.

Luo Chen returned to the place where he had fought before.

"Master!" Little White called out happily.

"Ah."

Luo Chen then looked at the demonic monk Kong Chan, remaining silent and simply watching.

Under his gaze, the demonic monk Kongchan was covered in sweat, and finally bowed and knelt down: "This little demon Kongchan is willing to acknowledge you as my master, fellow Daoist!"

"good!"

Luo Chen smiled, his gaze finally settling on the still faintly burning azure flames.

The True Flame of the Mermaid Emperor? (End of Chapter)
