Longevity begins with alchemy master

Bang!
The dull, oppressive sound traveled through the limbs and bones to the eardrums.

The cloud giant, which originally looked illusory, suddenly appeared so solid and heavy.

Upon contact with Luo Chen's three-headed, six-armed golden body, it turned out to be a real confrontation.

Two enormous figures rolled down Tiandi Peak, crushing countless ancient trees and destroying hard rocks.

When they reached the bottom of the mountain, a deafening rumble resounded.

The void exploded with shockwaves, and dust billowed across the earth!
Amidst the surging, swirling dust, Luo Chen slowly stood up, staring intently at the cloud-shrouded giant opposite him.

Needless to say!

Great move!

With a clench of his fists, he stretched outwards, and a massive, pillar-like staff instantly materialized.

With his fingers gripping the gray stone staff, Luo Chen mustered all his strength and slammed it down.

boom!
The cloud giant managed to withstand the attack by raising both hands to block it.

However, Luo Chen has more than one pair of hands, and his attacks will not be limited to just one move.

Two golden beams, like snakes spitting their tongues, meandered from the left and right sides, then suddenly became perfectly straight as they approached the cloud giant.

laugh!
laugh!
The cloud giant looked down and saw two golden feathers piercing right through his heart and abdomen.

Luo Chen grinned maliciously, his two hands surging with immense power, and the two deadly golden feathers immediately began to churn violently within his body.

"break!"

With a low shout, golden light shone brightly!

As Luo Chen drew the Deadly Golden Feather, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the cloud giant's incredibly broad chest, allowing sunlight to penetrate.

"With such methods, you dare to compete with our sect, which is unparalleled in hand-to-hand combat?"

As Luo Chen spoke softly, his gaze returned to the sky.

The divine summoning formation continued, and the killing intent from the upper realm grew increasingly evident. One could vaguely see ripples in the void within the pillar of light, as if a door to another world had been opened.

suddenly!

Luo Chen felt a surge of alarm and turned around to see the cloud giant, whose vital point he had previously pierced, throwing a punch at him.

boom!
Luo Chen neither dodged nor evaded, but withstood the attack with his bare body.

His black armor flowed like mercury, dissipating the overwhelming power, and he merely let out a muffled groan.

This Xuan Chen Armor, infused with four top-grade lotus seeds and infused with the pure source blood of the Xuan Turtle, has become unparalleled in defensive power after being reforged.

Although it is unknown whether it is superior to a defensive magic weapon of the Spirit Treasure level, it is not something that can be easily broken by such a being.

Luo Chen was swayed backward several miles, thus dissipating the immense force.

Looking at the Cloud Giant again, its behavior was completely different from before.

The gaping hole created by the deadly golden feather was rapidly closing, as if it were immortal.

On its body, clouds and mist swirled, and a pure white python and a giant fanged serpent were born with hissing sounds, clinging to the cloud giant like ribbons.

"They're quite troublesome!"

Luo Chen took a deep breath and moved forward again.

The Hun Tian Staff moved swiftly and powerfully, using force to resist force.

The golden feathers fluttered, soft yet possessing an invincible sharpness.

The cloud giant did not retreat at all, clenching his fists to meet the Hun Tian Staff head-on. The white python and fanged giant snake on his body shrieked and twisted, clashing and intertwining with the two deadly golden feathers, showing no sign of being at a disadvantage.

Just as the cloud giant was once again parrying Luo Chen's gray-white stone staff, Luo Chen suddenly turned his head.

The original white-faced human face has transformed into another wrathful Yaksha.

The hideous Yaksha roared angrily, its mouth agape.

"Roar!"

The surging sound waves transformed into unparalleled air currents, like a continuous, undulating wave.

Caught off guard, the cloud giant's cloud aura began to dissipate under the impact, and most of its form became illusory.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Chen slammed down with his Hun Tian Staff!
Boom!
The head of the cloud giant was smashed into its shoulder by the force of the blow.

He was completely immersed in the incredibly hard earth.

It's gotten to this point, there's no way it can be recovered, right?
Luo Chen took a deep breath and slowly withdrew the stone stick.

On the summit of Tiandi Peak.

Liancheng watched this scene with a look of disdain in his eyes.

Even if the opponent displays formidable combat power, he is ultimately just a wild and ignorant cultivator in the wilderness. How could he possibly know the mysteries of immortal techniques?
He held a seal to the sky with one hand and made a hand gesture to the ground with the other.

With a slight movement of his left hand seal, the clouds and sea of ​​clouds in the sky swirled, and suddenly a massive amount of cloud energy poured into the giant's body.

Ignoring the changes in the giant, Liancheng maintained the seals of the Divine Descent Array.

At the foot of Tiandi Peak.

Luo Chen stared in horror at the cloud giant, where a head had suddenly grown out of its headless shoulder.

The head that had been smashed in now reappeared in the chest.

Not only that, but clouds were also rising behind it, and upon observation with divine sense, an extra face had actually grown out.

Is this considered a kind of alternative three-headed creature?
After the initial shock, Luo Chen quickly calmed down.

Recalling the giant python-like evil dragon that sprouted from the Cloud Giant's body after the deadly golden feather sneak attack...

"This giant possesses a strong ability to learn and imitate, but this ability does not originate from it, but from... Liancheng! From that sea of ​​clouds!"

Luo Chen slowly retreated, his angry, demonic eyes fixed on the cloud giant, but his white-faced head looked towards the sky.

Sure enough, the sea of ​​clouds that had existed for who knows how long was churning and surging, sending down streams of cloud energy into the giant's body.

"Sea of ​​clouds...illusory appearance...giant."

As he muttered to himself, Luo Chen suddenly realized why he had felt that this method was somewhat familiar to Yan Guilai!
When the Southern Frontier God Lord Youli ascended to heaven, he once revealed a phantom image that supported the sky and stood upright in the sea of ​​clouds!

That was a phantom formed by the opponent's magic power containing the true meaning of the laws when he was about to enter the Void Refining stage. It can also be called a Dharma Image in the classics!

With Liancheng's level of cultivation, it's absolutely impossible for him to reach that level.

Even the Dharma form of the God of Youli is rather illusory, far inferior to the Phoenix Dharma form that the Goddess of Qixia condensed during the battle of Mingyuan.

However, Liancheng was not a fool. On the contrary, for someone who was able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, Liancheng could be considered a genius.

He was once injured by the God of Youli.

However, he also grasped some of the opponent's methods, and thus, through imitation, he condensed a cloud giant using a massive amount of cloud energy and his own magical power.

As long as that sea of ​​clouds persists, even if Luo Chen tears the cloud giant in front of him to shreds, it will quickly recover.

Furthermore, in the course of repeated battles, the Cloud Giants could even imitate and learn from Luo Chen's methods to formulate corresponding responses.

Do you really think I, Luo, am without wisdom?

Luo Chen grinned maliciously, and instead of retreating, he advanced straight towards the cloud giant.

The creature roared and charged at Luo Chen, its enormous roar carrying rolling sound waves, clearly imitating Luo Chen's earlier Yaksha Roar.

Faced with such a shoddy imitation, Luo Chen neither dodged nor avoided it, but withstood it with his physical body and the strength of his divine soul.

Then, the Cloud Giant reached out with both hands to grab at the other, and did the same.

The four hands were locked together, locked in a fierce struggle.

A strong gust of wind swept past him as the white python and the fanged serpent simultaneously lunged at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen also stretched out both hands and grabbed the snake's neck, preventing it from struggling.

Then!

call out!call out!call out!
Crimson chains burst forth from Luo Chen's body, piercing the cloud giant's body like a barrage of arrows.

Each chain carries an extremely powerful suppressive force, preventing the enemy from mobilizing their strength for a short period of time.

Finally, Luo Chen used his remaining two millstone-sized hands to slap the other person repeatedly.

With each strike, a portion of primal blood was injected.

Each attack carries the power of restriction.

After the eighteenth beat, Luo Chen unleashed both palms simultaneously.

"Open!" The heavens and earth paused for a moment, followed by the sound of something splitting apart, which resounded throughout the void.

Click!

The enormous cloud giant suddenly split into countless fragments.

Liancheng saw this but didn't take it seriously, and once again drew the clouds down.

However, this time, no matter how large the cloud was, it could not be condensed and recombined when injected into those fragments.

A faint red halo prevented the clouds from merging together.

"The Blood Forbidden Technique?"

Liancheng frowned slightly, seemingly surprised that his opponent possessed such exquisite skills.

However, what he didn't expect was not just that.

Luo Chen used the Overlord's Armor Removal Technique, combined with the Source Blood Restriction, to completely seal the Cloud Giant, preventing it from ever restoring itself again.

Now, there's only one goal left!

The giant, nearly a thousand feet tall, bent slightly, his feet firmly planted on the ground, and then suddenly raised his head!
Boom!
With a powerful thrust of his legs, he shot into the sky like an arrow released from a bow.

Lian Cheng gave a light shout: "Go!"

Amidst the boundless sea of ​​clouds, a dragon's claw appears.

A dragon in the clouds bared its fangs and brandished its claws, followed by twos and threes, then gradually growing into many, until it numbered in the thousands!

Gazing at the colossal giant charging below, all the cloud dragons simultaneously descended.

Faced with this scene, Luo Chen showed no fear whatsoever.

The chains on his body surged, and crimson chains shot forward.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
Every cloud dragon that tried to tear Luo Chen apart was shattered into pure clouds by the crimson chains formed by the Hunyuan Cauldron, and then returned to the sea of ​​clouds.

But in the blink of an eye, even more cloud dragons will gather within those seas of clouds.

Just like the previous cloud giant, as long as the sea of ​​clouds continues, countless monsters will emerge.

Luo Chen's expression hardened.

He formed a hand seal and uttered a low shout.

"come out!"

next moment!
Behind him, a large, bright, golden bird flew out with a sharp cry.

Its speed is extremely fast, as if it can tear through the void.

Its power was even greater, with golden flames accompanying it like ribbons.

In an instant, the golden firebird disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

Thousands upon thousands of cloud dragons roared and surrounded it, but the golden firebird merely trembled its wings and scattered streaks of golden flame, burning all the cloud dragons to ashes.

"Wow!"

A clear and melodious sound resounded throughout the world.

The surging flames swept across the four seas and eight wastelands, and the sea of ​​clouds that had shrouded Tiandi Peak for countless years collapsed in an instant.

Countless clouds shattered, and a torrential downpour began.

The golden firebird stretched its wings wildly in the torrential rain, its scorching power burning all the rain into nothingness.

Until the sky was clear and the air was crisp and blue.

Boom!
Luo Chen finally reached the summit!

On the other side, within the Divine Descent Formation, Liancheng could no longer remain seated.

His fingers trembled slightly, and he looked at the golden firebird with a hint of fear in his eyes, which finally turned into boundless rage.

"The Sacred Flame of Nirvana!"

"You are one of the Demon Phoenix's people!"

As he spoke, his divine sense erupted, and a powerful aura, as heavy as a mountain, pressed down on Luo Chen.

Luo Chen paused slightly, then unleashed his divine sense to enhance his own Nascent Soul domain.

Just as the sea of ​​clouds dissipated, the Great Array of Heaven and Earth Connection that had previously enveloped the Heaven and Earth Peak collapsed instantly!

A streak of bluish-white fire tree, along with the golden firebird, returned to Luo Chen's body.

Upon seeing this, Liancheng no longer harbored any contempt, nor did he show any disdain on his face.

I thought it was enough that this kid had mastered a fifth-order azure-white flame, but it was far inferior to the true solar fire mastered by Shi Ju, a junior in my sect.

But after the Nirvana Flame appeared, he knew that Luo Chen could no longer be judged by any conventional standards.

In particular, the opponent released divine sense to enhance his Nascent Soul domain, making it comparable to his divine domain.

This is someone who has condensed his primordial spirit ahead of time, comprehended the true meaning of the laws, and mastered two fifth-order divine flames, making him almost on par with a Nascent Soul expert.

Perhaps, the only thing missing is the life soul.

Luo Chen, bearing his oppressive aura, walked step by step, a long sword appearing in his hand at some unknown time.

This sword is ancient and has a creepy groove.

Its entire body was enveloped in a blood-red aura, as if it had absorbed the blood of billions of people.

He gazed at the towering pillar of light. After the sea of ​​clouds dissipated, starlight filled the pillar, and a phantom figure appeared and disappeared, as if it might descend upon this world at any moment.

"The True Lord of the Upper Realm must not descend!"

Luo Chen did not defend whether he was Qixia Yuanjun's person, but only spoke coldly.

Then, a sword slashed out!
Liancheng responded with a cold laugh.

The Divine Descent Array has been fully activated, using the Heaven and Earth Peak as its guiding light, the fifth-order spiritual vein as its energy source, and the spiritual energy of the entire continent as its guide. The intensity of the resulting pillar of light is almost equivalent to that of the entire Central Continent!
How could Luo Chen possibly sever it with a single sword strike?
A vast sword light descended, striking the pillar of light.

clang!
The terrifying sonic boom caused the entire Tiandi Peak to tremble.

A look of disbelief appeared in Liancheng's eyes.

An angry roar came from within the towering pillar of light.

"Junior, how dare you!"

"Why don't I dare!"

The sword light rose again, the sword moves were unleashed once more, and boundless celestial energy gathered, forming the most ferocious, sharpest, and most domineering torrent of sword energy.

It was as if anything that dared to stand in its way would be destroyed by this sword.

"Stop him!"

Amidst the swaying beam of light, a roar resounded once more.

Liancheng could no longer stand idly by. He stood up, his magical power surging within him, drawing upon the boundless primordial energy of heaven and earth. Then, he struck out with a palm into the void.

"So close to the end of the world!"

The void energy was in disarray, and Luo Chen's body moved slightly. Even the Heaven and Earth Peak in his eyes seemed to become unreachable.

But the sword move had already begun and could not be retracted, so he could only follow his instincts and bring the sword down.

boom!
The vast sword energy poured out like a flood.

With a single sword strike, the continent was cleaved in two!

The vast Tiandi Island, which was as large as a continent, was cut in two like tofu by this sword.

The residual force of the sword energy continued unabated, rolling forward and splitting the entire ocean in two. Towering waves reached thousands of feet high before crashing onto the sea surface, killing countless lives in the aftershocks of this sword strike.

Crimson began to spread across the vast ocean, and smoke and dust shrouded the shattered island of heaven and earth.

Liancheng watched this scene with lingering fear, feeling incredibly lucky.

If he hadn't used his supernatural powers to forcibly move Luo Chen away, this sword strike would have severely damaged the Divine Descent Array, or even severed the teleportation channel entirely.

This sword technique is comparable to a supernatural power, and it even feels somewhat familiar.

This sword is incredibly sharp, seemingly capable of cutting through anything. It is definitely not an ordinary weapon; it is likely already at the level of a spiritual treasure.

Luo Chen slowly raised his longsword, the tip pointing diagonally at Lian Cheng.

"This sword is named Yuan Tu, and today it will slaughter all the powerful beings of Tianyuan!" (End of Chapter)
