Longevity begins with alchemy master

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

The clear and resonant voice of the Taoist priest in black slowly spread out.

A flash of anger crossed Lian Cheng's face. "How dare you speak so arrogantly!"

He clapped his hands, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth seemed to be under his control, forming a giant hand that struck Luo Chen.

Luo Chen, not to be outdone, made a hand seal and pointed.

The phoenix spreads its wings and roars proudly forward.

A giant hand and a fiery phoenix collided in an instant, shaking the void.

These two moves, though impressive in appearance, are in reality just the most basic techniques used by both sides.

"As expected, you have grasped the true meaning of the laws and can manipulate the primordial energy of heaven and earth across realms." Looking at the scene of the primordial energy fluctuating between heaven and earth, Lian Cheng raised an eyebrow and suddenly changed the subject: "However, you are ultimately not a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the amount of primordial energy of heaven and earth that you can manipulate is only so much."

While verbally attacking Luo Chen, Lian Cheng clapped his hands repeatedly, amplifying the power of his palm techniques with even more spiritual energy, making it seem as if a thousand-armed Buddha was constantly striking Luo Chen.

Faced with this attack, Luo Chen remained calm and used the same technique again, but his hand seals were frequently activated in an instant.

The phoenix spread its wings, the dragon roared, and spells were released from his hands as if they had no magical power.

Each spell, once cast, will draw upon the vital energy of heaven and earth, thus enhancing its power.

Unlike outstanding Nascent Soul cultivators who integrate their primordial power into their spells after comprehending the true meaning of the laws, Luo Chen also broke down the barrier between himself and heaven and earth, allowing more primordial energy from heaven and earth to flow into him.

Therefore, even a simple fourth-order spell is incredibly powerful in Luo Chen's hands.

What's more!

All of his spells were fourth-order Great Perfection spells that had broken through the limits.

Each move was no less powerful than a normal attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Most importantly, Luo Chen did not only comprehend the true meaning of one law!
Perhaps comprehending only one type is indeed less than the amount of heaven and earth energy that a Nascent Soul cultivator can control, but Luo Chen comprehended three types, so even when fighting across levels, he was no weaker than Lian Cheng.

In an instant, on the island of heaven and earth, powerful hands appeared frequently, and dragons and phoenixes soared about, engaging in a fierce collision.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth was in turmoil, and the winds and clouds churned and roared incessantly.

Suddenly!
Liancheng leaped away, his peripheral vision catching sight of a certain spot.

There, what was once just a tiny vortex is now expanding rapidly, with a vigorous and powerful aura rising from within.

That aura gave people the feeling that they could control everything in the world.

Liancheng was secretly delighted.

"Ke Lianshan has taken that final step and is about to become a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

In this way, the Divine Descent Formation had a new leader, and no one could stop the White Tiger True Lord's descent.

They now had an additional Nascent Soul cultivator on their side, while Li Canghai had deserted his post on Luo Chen's side.

"Luo Chen, are you really about to die?"

Liancheng made no attempt to hide his laughter.

However, for some reason, besides the initial astonishment, he seemed to see an unexpected surprise on Luo Chen's face.

Although he didn't understand why, Liancheng already knew what to do next.

Ke Lianshan broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, where he would not be disturbed by the outside world, and his safety was well guaranteed.

But the Mirage Dragon Cave is ultimately just a small world, formed from the fall of powerful beings.

Being within it, one cannot break through the shackles of the upper limit of living beings.

This is why some families in the Tianyuan Dao Sect cultivate spiritual herbs there, but those herbs often fail to communicate with spirits normally after reaching the fourth or fifth rank.

Intelligence is the upper limit of plant life.

The soul is a shackle on humanity!

Therefore, Ke Lianshan used the Rotten Chessboard to open the internal and external channels, drawing in the primordial energy of heaven and earth from the outside world.

However, at this moment, Tiandi Island has become the battlefield where he and Luo Chen fought. The void energy in this area is extremely turbulent, which will greatly affect the time it takes for the opponent to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Whether it's for the smooth operation of the Divine Descent Formation or to help Ke Lianshan break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I must lure Luo Chen away, or rather... kill him!"

Liancheng hardened his heart, pinched his hands together to form a vertical "口" character, with his fingertips protruding and his four fingers extending outwards. In an instant, four more corners appeared outside the "口" character, forming a "井" character.

Although the character "井" (well) is small, it envelops Luo Chen in the distance.

Suddenly, the previously turbulent energy of heaven and earth fell silent.

Luo Chen felt a slight stirring in his heart; it was that familiar feeling again.

Just now, when he was about to sever the starlight pillar of the Divine Descent Array with a single sword strike, he was influenced by this feeling, which is why his sword strike went astray.

Is it an earth-based supernatural power mastered by Liancheng?

Luo Chen mobilized the power of the source of fire, attempting to regain control of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, but with little success.

However, the true fire of withering and flourishing within his body was eager to try.

"You can do it?"

Luo Chen suddenly realized that, as a fellow Law of True Meaning, the Wood-attribute Withering and Flourishing True Meaning did indeed subtly restrain the opponent's divine power.

But Luo Chen did not retaliate against this move; he simply looked at Lian Cheng with a cold smile.

next moment.

Time and space transformation!

Two figures suddenly appeared on the vast sea.

In the distance lies the unreachable Tiandi Island, resembling a tiny black dot.

Behind them lay the Eastern Continent, so close at hand, with flames soaring into the sky and smoke billowing everywhere under the night sky.

Luo Chen, holding a long sword, sneered, "You moved the battlefield here, aren't you afraid that the aftershocks of our battle will destroy your Dao Sect's ancestral temple?"

Then, without waiting for Liancheng's reply, he muttered to himself, "That's right! From the moment you used the pretense of gathering the Central Continent to actually absorb the spiritual energy from the four continents, you never cared about the survival of the Tianyuan Dao Sect. Otherwise, why would you have ignored the fact that I led a group of powerful individuals to invade the Eastern Yuan Continent?"

Liancheng's expression darkened slightly.

Clearly, Luo Chen's words tore away his facade of hypocrisy.

That's exactly what he thought.

The reason is simple: the Tianyuan Dao Sect in the Mountain and Sea Realm could be built from scratch, so even if it is destroyed in the future, it can be rebuilt.

As long as I am still here, as long as the White Tiger True Lord can descend upon this world and truly annihilate the great enemy, the Demon Phoenix Qixia!

"I have lost all patience with you. Prepare to die!"

Liancheng gave a low shout, and with a flick of his wrist, a yellow sandbag flew up from behind him.

Strands of golden sand spewed out from within, accompanied by a fierce wind.

In an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the world was shrouded in darkness.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, his longsword flashing with light.

However, the sword light that was previously so fierce and powerful, capable of severing the pillar of light that reached the sky and even cutting through the entire continent of Tiandi Island, was completely powerless in these flying sands.

Moreover, every gust of sand that hits him wears down a significant amount of his protective aura.

Even the reforged Xuan Chen Armor became shaky and cracked under such washing.

"Spiritual treasure?"

"No, it's not a magic weapon."

"It is a magical artifact that combines special materials with restrictions, forming a special space."

"To break this thing..."

Luo Chen, who had been gripping the Yuan Tu Sword tightly, loosened his grip slightly at this moment.

That move can't be used as easily as before; he hasn't mastered it enough yet.

But aside from that one move, he wasn't without other methods.

In a flash, a crystal-clear coral jade fan landed in my hand.

It was the Blood Jade Three-Flame Fan, a pseudo-spiritual treasure bestowed by the Qixia Yuanjun!

It has already absorbed a large amount of the remaining Nirvana Sacred Flame from the Netherworld Abyss, and once released, its power will be considerable.

But that's still far from enough! With a thought, Luo Chen unleashed the Divine Flame of Withering and Flourishing once more!

"Get in!"

The Withered and Flourishing Divine Fire seemed to sense something and was unwilling, but in the end it escaped into the Blood Jade Three Flames Fan.

Not only that, Luo Chen's expression hardened, and a wisp of dark blue flame appeared at his fingertips.

After the ghostly blue flame appeared, it transformed into a small blue fish.

It is the True Flame of the Mermaid King obtained from the Arctic Yama Heaven!

Originally, this thing had a mixed will, and even though it had been nurtured by the Merfolk for countless years, it was still unable to break through to the fifth rank.

However, under Luo Chen's powerful fire control ability and meticulous purification, the Mermaid Emperor's True Flame has become incomparably pure, and after decades, it is only one step away from advancing to the fifth rank.

But now there's no time left for it to continue growing.

"You go in too!"

The Blue Fish Fire Spirit let out a mournful cry and rushed into the jade fan without looking back.

The three powerful flames converged and merged into an extremely destructive force that even Luo Chen could not control.

What's more, this is a fake magical artifact?
The scorching power began to boil, and the aura of destruction began to spread.

Liancheng, who was handling the yellow sandbags, noticed this scene and was terrified. What was the other party doing?
next moment!
Amidst the hazy flying sand, the Taoist in black lightly waved his jade fan.

boom!
Three-colored flames poured out.

It transformed into an unstoppable, earth-shattering force, sweeping across all directions.

The flying sand and stones were all reduced to ashes.

The yellow sandbag suddenly ruptured.

Before Liancheng could react, the destruction of his magic weapon backfired on his mind. In a moment of confusion, he saw the three-colored flames rushing towards him like a stream of fire.

He held his hands in front of him, and a jade pendant transformed into an impregnable city wall.

however!
The two sides made contact.

boom!
The three-colored flames flashed by in an instant.

The destructive force struck Liancheng directly.

The terrifying heat incinerated his body in a single breath.
A black figure followed closely behind, pointing out with fingers like a sword.

"Withering and flourishing!"

The Dao Finger of Withering and Flourishing landed on the charred flesh from a distance, enveloping the entire body in a grayish-white light.

The charred body began to crumble before the naked eye, like a broken porcelain doll.

Click!

Liancheng's physical body suddenly shattered, and around his enormous primordial spirit, faint blue fish were tearing at him, and resilient, unyielding bluish-white saplings were climbing and spreading their branches.

However, Liancheng's primordial spirit ignored everything and struck out with a palm in front of him.

"Cover the ground!"

Supernatural powers! Supernatural powers again!
After mastering the ability to teleport to distant places, Lian Cheng also possessed another extremely lethal divine ability.

This is the foundation of the great Daoist masters!

With a single palm strike, he landed heavily on Luo Chen's chest, who was relentlessly pursuing him.

In his pursuit of a fatal blow, Luo Chen had already opened his defenses wide after wielding the Blood Jade Three Flames Fan and unleashing the Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger, leaving him no time to react to this attack.

He felt the world change, and boundless primordial energy pressed down.

If you can't avoid it, then you can only tough it out!
The Xuan Chen Armor spread throughout his body, causing his physical body to suddenly expand a thousand times. Furthermore, his natal magic treasure, the Hunyuan Cauldron, moved at will, emanating a five-colored halo that enveloped him.

All of this happened in an instant.

Then there was.

boom!
The Taoist in black fell into the boundless ocean with a crash, like a meteorite falling from the sky.

Liancheng's palm strike was more than that; by connecting heaven and earth with his pure primordial spirit, he had already reached the limit of his power.

After the palm strike landed, it not only knocked Luo Chen down, but the residual force also forced a terrifying five-finger palm print onto the sea.

Like a chain reaction, boundless giant waves surged forth, crashing outwards in all directions.

The Eastern Yuan Continent, which is too close to it, will be the first to bear the brunt!

The raging waves crashed directly into the inland.

A terrifying tsunami swept across the entire Eastern Continent, catching countless lives off guard and engulfing them.

Liancheng disregarded all that, his primordial spirit manifesting outwards, panting heavily, his face filled with lingering fear.

He was jolted awake, shaking off the scattered golden flames.

Although the Nirvana Sacred Flame is powerful, this part of the Nirvana Sacred Flame was not nurtured by Luo Chen himself, but was collected from the remnants of Qixia Yuanjun in the Netherworld Abyss.

Over a hundred years have passed, and it has long lost much of its spirituality, making it relatively easy to dispel.

Then he grabbed with both hands.

The withered and flourishing fire tree was quite clever; it realized what was going to happen as soon as it entered the Blood Jade Three Flames Fan. Therefore, it immediately plunged into the sea, avoiding the grasp.

But Blue Fish Fire Spirit wasn't so lucky.

He was immediately grabbed by Liancheng.

"I never imagined that I would be forced to this point by a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Liancheng was still shaken, then he grabbed the Blue Fish Fire Spirit tightly.

puff!
Like a bursting bubble, the Blue Fish Fire Spirit vanished into the void amidst its mournful cries, leaving only ripples of firelight.

The enormous primordial spirit stood tall between heaven and earth, yet it did not exude much power. Instead, a large amount of grayish-white light constantly permeated and eroded its body.

As it was eroded in this way, the appearance of the originally young primordial spirit changed constantly between youth and old age, which was extremely strange.

Liancheng's magical power continuously resisted the erosion of the gray-white light, but this power was like a leech, extremely difficult to remove quickly.

"The most effective way to counter the earth element's elemental power, the wood element?"

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been so careless as to only use yellow sandbags to fight the enemy. I should have used the Burial Umbrella directly."

"Fortunately, he was not yet at the Nascent Soul stage, and he took a full hit of my Earth-Shattering Palm. Even a god couldn't save him!"

His divine sense searched the heavens and the earth, reaching deep into the ocean, but he could no longer find even a trace of Luo Chen's presence.

Catching his breath, Liancheng finally felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.

Although his physical body was destroyed and his primordial spirit was injured, for a Nascent Soul cultivator, as long as the primordial spirit remains, a mere physical body is nothing.

Afterwards, with some effort and materials, a replica can be assembled.

With the formidable enemy eliminated, what's next...?

Liancheng turned to look in the direction of Tiandi Island, and after just one glance, he was incredulous!
At the entrance to the Mirage Dragon Cave, the vortex of primordial energy that had been formed suddenly began to become violently chaotic for some unknown reason.

This means that Ke Lianshan's attempt to advance to the Nascent Soul stage is about to fail!
it's out of the question!

Having come this far, with the accumulated experience of Ke Lianshan over a thousand years, the countless Nascent Soul cultivators of Tianyuan Dao Sect, and the assistance of the spiritual treasure Rotten Chessboard, how could they possibly fail when all their efforts were about to be accomplished?

If he fails, and doesn't personally preside over the divine initiation formation, then the descent of the White Tiger True Lord...

The towering pillar of light connecting the cosmos was trembling violently, and much of its light began to dim, as if everything was about to fail.

At this moment.

A pair of large, white-gold hands reached out from the passage and firmly grasped this world.

The True Lord of the Mystic Realm intends to forcibly descend upon this realm!
Seeing this, Liancheng's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"As expected of the White Tiger True Lord, how could he miss such an opportunity? Once he truly descends upon this realm, the severely injured Qixia Yuanjun will only face death. Moreover, with his help, the Tianyuan Dao Sect can also unify the Mountain and Sea Realm!"

Just as Liancheng was lost in thought, a clear and melodious cry suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

The cry of the phoenix echoed through the void, tearing apart the long night.

A beam of azure light pierced through the air, leaped over the Heaven and Earth Island, and resolutely entered the pillar of light of the Divine Descent Array.

"You wicked creature, how dare you!" (End of Chapter)
