Longevity begins with alchemy master

The lightning palm descended from the sky with tremendous force.

The man in white moved slowly and deliberately, flicking his sleeve upwards.

boom!
The two attacks clashed, and the resulting energy scattered in all directions, shaking the surrounding area.

Only then did the winged god of thunder arrive opposite Luo Chen.

The two were only a hundred feet apart. They met eyes and, without saying a word, unleashed their ultimate moves.

This time, however, it was Luo Chen who made the first move.

With a flick of his fingers, he unleashed a barrage of Blood God Tribulation Finger techniques, interspersed with other finger techniques.

For a moment, the sky was filled with red light.

The burly man with the blue face showed contempt upon seeing such a move.

With a single grip, an electric current instantly surges forth.

With exquisite precision, he intercepted each and every finger strike.

Seeing this, Luo Chen was not surprised.

The Blood God Calamity refers to something that goes straight and direct, making it easy for others to avoid or intercept it.

But if that's all there is to it, then he should underestimate this person.

next moment.

Amidst countless shattered crimson rays, a dozen or so other streaks of energy with elusive trajectories suddenly separated out.

It's like an immortal returning to Penglai!
Luo Chen had already mastered all the martial arts techniques in "Divine Qi" to perfection, and could use them at will in countless variations.

The sudden change startled the burly man with the blue face, but then he suddenly opened his clenched hand, making a claw-like grasping motion in the air.

Immediately, streaks of lightning, like wild beasts baring their fangs, raced through the air.

Any qi that gets close to him is devoured and worn away.

Upon seeing this, Luo Chen's eyes lit up.

"Great idea!"

"If you think Thunder Fang is a decent move, then I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand my next move!"

The burly man with the blue face sneered, and lightning blazed around him.

next moment.

A domineering aura emanated from his body, transforming into a violent current that surged forth in all directions.

The entire area within a radius of several miles, and the vast expanse of the sky and the open fields, was instantly filled with the thunderous domain!

As Luo Chen found himself amidst the pervasive thunderous energy, he suddenly sensed a powerful martial divine intent pressing down upon him.

He remained fearless and instinctively released his Blood Refined Divine Qi to create a foothold.

Looking around, Luo Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

"It's somewhat like a tactic of dividing a battlefield into domains. I suppose you have a backup plan?"

For the first time, the burly man with the blue face showed admiration for Luo Chen.

"Good eye. After Thunderous Wilderness comes the real killing move. Let's see how you withstand my attack—Raging Thunder Waves!"

The burly man let out a low growl and pushed out with both hands.

In an instant, the surrounding lightning rose and fell, layer upon layer, converging into wave after wave of thunder, pressing down on Luo Chen with unparalleled ferocity.

Behind him, a burly man with a blue face was covered in lightning, and even more thunderous energy surged forth, joining the storm-like waves of thunder.

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow and suddenly thrust out his right hand.

The blood-refined divine energy surged forth, transforming into countless crimson dragons.

It is indeed the Great Luo Five Dragon Hands!
With a single gesture, the five dragons roared in unison.

"go with!"

Five blood dragons stretched out their bodies and charged into the waves with unstoppable momentum.

The same move has drastically different power when used in the Perfect Realm versus the Human Immortal Realm.

In particular, it contains the divine intent of selflessness, which is quite in line with the exquisite transformation of the Great Luo Five Dragon Hands.

Faced with wave after wave of thunderous waves, the five blood dragons not only did not fall behind, but instead fought with increasing ferocity.

The blue-faced man's expression changed slightly; he sensed something strange within him.

My strength is too scattered; although my attacks are comprehensive, they pose no threat to the opponent.

The occasional bolts of lightning that struck Luo Chen only left a scorched mark on his white robes, which vanished in an instant.

On the contrary, the five blood dragons on the other side became more and more courageous as they fought.

When it comes to skillful moves, he's no match for him!
Let's fight it out with sheer strength!

"Congeal!"

The burly man with the blue face spoke in a solemn, low voice.

The next moment, amidst the raging thunder, a lightning dragon instantly coalesced and roared as it charged toward the five blood dragons.

For a time, the Thunder Dragon and Blood Dragon fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.

From skill against skill, to brute force against brute force, it eventually evolved into a pure clash of internal energy between the two sides.

The more intense the battle became, the more astonished the blue-faced man became.

His Thunderous Qi is extremely Yang and strong, with few rivals among his peers, and it can even influence the enemy's martial will in fierce battles.

However, the white-robed man's martial will remained unmoved.

Even in a pure clash of internal energy, his thunderous internal energy was gradually losing ground.

It even began to be worn down and swallowed up.

"What kind of internal energy is this, and what materials have been incorporated into it?"

Surprised, the burly man with the blue face glanced at Luo Chen unintentionally.

But they found that the other party remained calm, as if they still had energy left.

A hint of apprehension surfaced.

"No, we have to use our ultimate move!"

The burly man with the blue face hardened his heart and abandoned the Thunderous Rage move, retreating backward.

In the instant it retreated, the Thunder Dragon was powerless to continue, letting out a mournful roar as it was quickly entangled and strangled by the five blood dragons.

Luo Chen waved his hand, and the five blood dragons immediately retracted, without pressing their advantage.

He looked at the man who was flapping his wings and retreating from afar, and a rare look of appreciation appeared in his eyes.

This person, in terms of both the strength of his internal energy and his combat skills, was one of the best martial artists he had ever seen in Guixu.

If it were someone else, they really wouldn't have been able to withstand that attack.

So, what other tricks are there?

Luo Chen strolled forward.

The burly man with the blue face kept retreating.

When he reached a point a hundred miles from the Sky Tower Forest, he suddenly stopped.

"Does Your Excellency truly intend to force your way into my Azure Sky Tower Forest?"

Luo Chen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "I just wanted to pass by and take a look. Since you say I'm forcing my way in, then so be it! Perfect, I also want to see the legendary Chaos Thunder Pool!"

He has long since passed the stage of needing to prove or defend himself.

The burly man with the blue face hardened his expression. "Then you'll regret this decision!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly rose higher and stood tall in the sky.

Behind him, the Thunder Wings fluttered, and dark clouds gathered in the sky.

Not only that!

Within the forest of three thousand pagodas, as if sensing something, each towering pagoda unleashed bolts of lightning that converged towards the burly man.

Within a few breaths, it transformed into a scene of utter cataclysmic destruction.

Go to extremes again after going to extremes.

"Raging Torrent Annihilates the Realm!"

With this move successfully executed, the burly man with the blue face showed a smug expression.

This move, taking advantage of favorable timing and location, and further amplified by his skillful manipulation within the situation, has its power increased a hundredfold.

Even if a powerhouse at the Destruction Realm were right in front of him, he would be confident of defeating him! If he didn't have this trump card, how could Yuan Qingzang, with his strength at the late stage of the Human Immortal Realm, have become a dominant force in the region?
Today, this person is indeed strong, but he was also unlucky to run into him.

However, when he looked down...

But then they saw the young man's robes fluttering in the wind, his hands clasped together as if grinding something.

Two enormous millstones were gradually forming from his body.

The moment the giant millstone appeared, the winds and clouds stirred.

The countless violent lightning bolts that he had originally gathered were involuntarily drawn towards it, and then gradually worn away.

In fact, it's not just the leaked lightning.

And there's the aura he exudes, his body, and the three thousand pagodas behind him!
This is still the charging-up state before any attack is launched!
If we wait for the opponent to unleash this move, even if our own move, the Raging Torrent Annihilation Realm, can counter it, the aftershocks of the battle will likely affect a vast area of ​​hundreds of miles around.

At that time...

"Brother, stop, stop, stop!"

Luo Chen, unable to mount a move, chuckled and looked upwards, "Why stop?"

Yuan Qingzang said calmly, "Your strength has already been recognized by me, there's no need to continue fighting."

Luo Chen smirked, "But I don't care about your approval!"

As they spoke, the two large millstones spun even faster, and the area affected by their rotation became increasingly wider.

Yuan Qingcang was taken aback. Seeing the other party's nonchalant expression, he immediately said, "No, I just wanted to test my skills. I've always only touched the target and never intended to kill. Besides, didn't you just want to visit the Sky Tower Forest and the Chaos Thunder Pool?"

"Oh……"

Luo Chen gave a soft "oh," and then casually flicked his hand.

The two slowly condensing millstones vanished in an instant, truly a display of remarkable freedom.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Qingzang hesitated for a moment.

The opponent has already withdrawn his charged killing move, while his Raging Torrent Annihilation Realm still hangs high in the void. If he seizes the opportunity to continue the attack...

As he hesitated, he caught a glimpse of a half-smile on the other person's face.

Yuan Qingzang gave a bitter smile and slowly withdrew his hand.

The surrounding currents returned along their original path and disappeared into the forest of three thousand pagodas.

The dark clouds that had gathered in the sky quickly dispersed.

Under a clear sky, the burly man landed opposite Luo Chen, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Master Yuan Qingzang of the Azure Sky Tower Forest, may I ask your guidance?"

"Great Annihilation Realm, Luo Chen!"

"From the Great Annihilation Realm under the command of the Worry-Free Realm Lord?" Yuan Qingzang was somewhat surprised.

Luo Chen asked in return, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Qingcang shook his head. "It's nothing, just a little surprised. The Great Destruction Realm is quite close to my Sky Tower Forest, and I know a little about the experts there, but I didn't expect there to be a hidden expert like you. I can only say that the Great Destruction Realm, one of the three largest human settlements in Guixu, truly produces many experts."

Luo Chen smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.

He wasn't some reclusive master; he just cultivated too quickly, reaching the late stage of the Human Immortal Realm in just three hundred years.

Such a cultivation speed would be astonishing anywhere.

"Brother Luo, please come in!"

"please!"

……

Two figures came from outside and entered the Sky Tower Forest.

As soon as they entered, a group of figures gathered around, but before they could ask any questions, they were all dismissed by Yuan Qingcang.

"Our Sky Tower Forest is not a large force. We have three thousand towers for protection, a population of less than a million, and only one martial arts immortal, Yuan. To prevent sabotage by villains, I am sometimes on guard. I hope Brother Luo will forgive my previous impolite probing."

"It's alright, I understand."

As Luo Chen listened to Yuan Qingzang's introduction, he looked around.

The towering structures, dark blue-black in color and constructed from rare lightning-absorbing stones, stand tall in the vast basin.

It separates the inside from the outside, yet connects directly to the heavens.

The lightning power that occasionally leaks out from those tall towers is particularly striking.

This indicates that the lightning power stored within it is beyond imagination.

This was actually one of the reasons why Luo Chen chose to give up earlier.

Although Yuan Qingzang did not unleash his move, it was absolutely an astonishing martial arts technique.

Luo Chen was not afraid and dared to use the "Reversal of Heaven and Earth" to fight back.

But he wasn't too sure what the outcome would be.

Even if he kills Yuan Qingzang, he will probably suffer some injuries.

This is not suitable for the upcoming travels.

How could someone get injured so soon after stepping out of the door?
Therefore, Luo Chen gladly accepted the offer after being given a way out.

They're all "fellow inmates" in the same cage, so why fight and kill each other?

"Brother Luo's cultivation level is so profound, yet he was previously unknown. He must be someone who is accustomed to arduous cultivation. Now he has actually taken the initiative to leave the Great Destruction Realm. Could it be that what the Worry-Free Realm Master said is true?"

Luo Chen paused, looking at Yuan Qingzang who was seeking his advice.

After a moment's thought, he nodded slightly.

Then, he asked Yuan Qingzang in return, "Have you met the Lord of the Worry-Free Realm?"

“I met him a hundred years ago.” Yuan Qingzang nodded and said wistfully, “At that time, he passed by the Azure Sky Tower Forest, met me, and invited me to the Ancient God’s Dojo.”

Why didn't you go?

"The Ancient God's Dojo is far too treacherous, and countless martial arts experts have died there. How could I, Yuan, dare to take such a risk?"

"But the greatest danger is that the cycle of the new era is about to begin, and all things will return to nothingness!"

“Yes! Actually, even if you hadn’t come, I was planning to leave recently. I originally wanted to try the legendary Gate of Destruction in the Great Destruction Realm, but now that I see you and the Lord of Worry-Free Realm leaving one after another, I can imagine that it is probably a dead end.”

"Leave? Is there really no way out of this place, the Azure Sky Tower Forest?"

"arrive!"

Yuan Qingzang stopped in his tracks.

Luo Chen stopped and looked up at the towering tower that pierced the sky.

This is the most magnificent tower among the three thousand towers, covered with lightning. Ordinary martial artists would tremble at just a glance, let alone get close to it.

Yuan Qingzang extended his hand in an invitation, "Please come in. Once you see it, you'll understand why this road is also impassable."

Luo Chen stepped inside.

Upon entering the tower, thunderous sounds immediately arose.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Thunderous roars echoed across the land, each one no weaker than the roar Yuan Qingzang had previously unleashed.

It even made Luo Chen nostalgic for the Thunder Prison Divine Roc's demonic technique from the Mountain and Sea Realm—the Roaring Thunder.

However, the thunderous sound here is far, far stronger than the thunderous roar of the Thunder Prison Divine Roc.

Even with Luo Chen's powerful martial arts divine will, he couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Especially within the sea of ​​consciousness!

Luo Chen took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed, and Blood Refining Divine Qi surged out, enveloping his entire body and isolating him from the outside world.

Yuan Qingzang hadn't given any warning before, but seeing Luo Chen's quick reaction, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Fellow Daoist is indeed amazing. You reacted so quickly on your first time entering the Azure Sky Tower, unlike me, who made a huge fool of myself back then."

"You flatter me." Luo Chen waved his hand and looked up.

Yuan Qingzang sighed, "It seems you've also realized this, fellow Daoist. The thunderous sounds in the tower are but a drop in the ocean compared to those in the extreme heavens. We both have to be extremely careful here, let alone break through the omnipresent soul-shaking thunderous sounds and leave the Ruins of Return."

Luo Chen remained silent for a moment.

After a long pause, he reluctantly nodded.

The effects of the Soul-Shattering Thunder Sound on martial artists are far less than on him. The stronger one's soul, the more it is controlled. If one wants to escape from the Ruins of Return from this place, the danger is far greater than passing through the Gate of Annihilation!
Dejected, he turned his gaze to the bottom of the tower, to the three-foot-square Thunder Pool.

"Is this the Chaos Thunder Pool?"

Yuan Qingzang replied, "Yes, this is the thunder power accumulated by the Azure Sky Tower after filtering the Soul-Shattering Thunder Sound over the years. The martial artists here also use this to temper their Qi. After reaching the Human Immortal Realm, like me, we can even try to fuse it into our bodies and cultivate Thunder Qi."

Luo Chen suddenly asked, "May I give it a try?"

"Test what?" Yuan Qingcang asked, puzzled, then realized what he meant and exclaimed in surprise, "Do you also want to fuse lightning into your Qi?"

Luo Chen nodded slightly. (End of Chapter)
