Longevity begins with alchemy master

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the turmoil gradually subsided.

Luo Chen's main soul flickered with a faint light, as if he were pondering something.

Just now, after shattering the faint divine soul attack remaining in the golden light, he captured some information from it.

This information was extremely complex and chaotic, but in general, it can be summarized as a divine power of law that Jin Xingzun had unleashed.

Its name is—Golden Punishment!
It is a divine power with immense might and terrifying destructive force.

When unleashed, it combines with one's own flesh and blood, drawing upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth, enough to cleave stars in two with a single blow.

Unfortunately, Jin Xingzun couldn't choose the battlefield. In this desolate and lawless void, he couldn't unleash this move to its full potential.

"If I could learn this technique, it might become a powerful trump card when I rebuild my Five Elements spiritual roots in the future?"

Luo Chen's divine sense flashed by, and he immediately sensed something was amiss.

He quickly put the main soul into a state of dormancy.

All information related to the "Golden Punishment" technique was suppressed.

I opened my eyes and looked up at the sky.

Sure enough, streaks of silvery-white lightning, like dragons and snakes, began to converge.

These were all attracted by his use of his massive main soul.

Even though he has now absorbed the Chaos Thunder Pool and can withstand small-scale Soul-Shattering Thunder Sounds, Luo Chen still doesn't want to cause trouble.

Especially now, at this most dangerous moment.

As expected, after his main soul fell asleep, the chaotic thunderstorm that was gathering in the sky seemed to lose its target and gradually disappeared.

Luo Chen smiled and calmly stood up.

After removing the residual power of the supernatural ability, I immediately felt a sense of relief.

The opening and closing of all the acupoints in the body is now unimpeded.

Even with the chaotic gray light protecting him from the Chaos Cauldron, the surrounding chaotic energy posed little threat to him.

Luo Chen didn't rush to deal with miscellaneous matters, but instead took some time to go out.

……

On the snowy island.

Luo Chen met his old friend, the newly promoted martial arts immortal Xiao Lin.

After offering his congratulations, he told the three immortals the purpose of his visit.

"I plan to close the Nine-Layer Immortal Tower ahead of schedule and spend the next hundred years in seclusion to cultivate and make a final push to leave the Ruins of Return."

Xiao Lin already knew a smattering of the truth about the Ruins of Return, and he also learned of the impending destruction from Fang Qingxue and Gu Xun, so he was not surprised by Luo Chen's actions.

He asked out of curiosity, "What about the many martial artists inside the tower?"

Luo Chen replied, "Apart from Ice Emperor and Mad Martial Sect, who still have a chance to reach the Human Immortal realm, all other martial artists should be cleared out."

He spoke very calmly, but he had already announced the death sentence for those martial artists who were about to be expelled.

The three did not question these resolute words.

Perhaps Luo Chen's actions were extremely cruel to them; being evicted meant certain death.

But staying behind is no different from waiting to die.
When disaster strikes, people are too busy taking care of themselves to have any energy left to protect them.
If you leave early, there might be a one in a billion chance of finding a way to survive.

The three remained silent, clearly indicating that they had accepted Luo Chen's arrangement.

Luo Chen had no more doubts and, in front of the three of them, unleashed his martial arts divine intent.

In an instant, his unique will enveloped every part of the Nine Rings of Destruction.

The warriors still inside the tower fell silent for a moment, as they heard Luo Chen's announcement.

"My name is Luo Chen, and I currently command the Nine-Tiered Immortal Tower. I must announce a message to all nine-ring warriors: a hundred years from now, the cycle of eras will begin, and the Great Cataclysm will arrive. At that time, all things will return to nothingness, and nothing will remain. My friends, find your own way to survive!"

The moment the words were spoken, everyone inside the tower was shocked.

Before they could react, strands of gray light extended from the void, locking them in and throwing them out.

Only Ice Emperor and Mad Martial Master from the fourth ring were left behind.

Outside the tower.

The group of martial artists at the Perfect Realm finally realized what was happening.

Some people tried to enter the Nine Heavens Immortal Tower again, but were directly pushed away by the increasingly surging chaotic energy around them.

The chaotic energy even formed a nebula-like cloud that enveloped the entire Nine-Layer Immortal Tower.

For a moment, everyone was filled with despair.

Some people started hurling insults at Luo Chen, and the vile words were endless.

Unfortunately, no matter how harsh their insults were, there was no response.

In despair, some people began to plead with Luo Chen, but still received no response.

Later on, some people even went to extremes, attempting to attack the Nine Heavens Immortal Tower, but all their attacks vanished without a trace after coming into contact with the increasingly surging chaotic energy.

These martial artists had to accept the reality that they could never return to the Nine Heavens Immortal Tower, and they had to face the great terror that was about to arrive.

"This is the tragedy of the weak. You two, keep trying!"

Xiao Lin returned to the fourth ring and said this to Ice Emperor and Mad Martial Sect.

He also briefly explained why Luo Chen had kept the two of them.

After leaving a few words of encouragement, he returned to the third ring and finally chose to settle on Lichen Island.

Luo Chen has already given this place to him.

Because Luo Chen will be cultivating in the second stage next.

Xiao Lin looked up at the sky. Although he could not see Luo Chen's back, he could still feel the immense will that the other party had just revealed, even just a small part of it.

He muttered to himself, "Luo Chen, is this path really feasible?"

……

Luo Chen used to care about what others thought of him, because reputation was a very useful weapon.

But Luo Chen no longer cares about these things, especially now that he is in the Ruins of Return.

Great destruction will bring great terror!
At that time, they will have no choice but to fight their own battles.

He lacked the compassion to treat all living beings, and therefore became selfish.

Completely shutting down the Nine-Layer Immortal Tower and transferring the chaotic energy to help him accelerate his cultivation is the most urgent matter at present.

now!

From the fourth ring downwards, all chaotic energy is mobilized to the second ring via the Nine-Layer Immortal Tower.

The surrounding energy was so surging that even the Hunyuan Cauldron couldn't absorb it all at once.

But before you can begin your cultivation, there are a few trivial matters that need to be dealt with.

His gaze fell upon the Hunyuan Cauldron.

After absorbing the Chaos Thunder Pool, the Yuan Magnetic Divine Power, and the Star Crystal, his natal magic weapon is undergoing unknown changes.

This change is a positive one.

Luo Chen reached out and beckoned.

In an instant, three independent yet equally powerful forces emerged from the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Under the influence of Luo Chen's divine will, it gradually formed something even more terrifying.

The stars twinkled, thunder roared, and as they struggled against each other, they were drawn together by a mysterious magnetic force.

Because of the connection with his natal magic weapon, Luo Chen could easily control this power.

The attack shot out into the distance, and in an instant, a streak of light appeared, followed by bursts of soul-stirring thunderous sounds at the point of impact.

"Even if the enemy has defensive techniques, it would be difficult for them to resist this move."

"Starlight is everywhere, thunder arrives in an instant, and the power of the Primordial Magnetic God can overcome all five elements in the world. Whether it is a frontal attack or a sneak attack, the divine power that comes with the Hunyuan Cauldron is powerful enough."

"Let's call it... Celestial Star Magnetic Divine Thunder!"

Luo Chen was too lazy to come up with fancy names, so he simply took a characteristic from each of the three forces and named them accordingly. Afterward, Luo Chen took out an object.

Vacuum Gu!
Compared to before, the Vacuum Gu has changed more and more significantly.

The body shape has not changed much, but the glacier-like folds on it have become more intricate.

All of this is thanks to the large amount of empty bud crystals that Luo Chen obtained from the Corpse Demon's clone.

Even now, we still haven't finished eating.

Upon closer observation, Luo Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

"Why hasn't it broken through to the fifth rank after consuming so many empty bud crystals and a massive amount of empty prisms? Is the Divine Gu really that difficult to cultivate?"

Luo Chen had some understanding of Gu worms, but ultimately not in great depth.

Whether it's refining and using Gu, or raising Gu.

But after experiencing the many miraculous effects of the Gu worms, he never forgot about this special creature.

Whether it's the telepathic connection of the Lingxi Gu, the power theft and transformation of the Moxin Gu, or the forced binding of the Tongsheng Gongsi Gu.

Especially the two Gu poisons of fortune and misfortune!
His ability to arrive at Guixu was largely due to the trace of the Calamity Gu left behind by the God of Youli.

Although the environment of Guixu was harsh, it did allow his strength to advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and he is even expected to break through to a higher realm before leaving Guixu.

Even if we add the later parts, the time taken is only five hundred years.

Not to mention the cultivation techniques, supernatural abilities, and numerous resources gained along the way.

In his view, the way of Gu worms is another way to cultivate the origin of the Heavenly Dao; otherwise, the peculiar effects contained in those Gu worms cannot be explained.

If he can cultivate a divine Gu of his own, it will definitely be of great benefit to his escape from Guixu and his future cultivation.

"Could it be that old ghost Nanqi lied to me back then and held back a trick in cultivating the Vacuum Gu?"

"Or is it that even he himself doesn't know the complete method of nurturing a creature?"

Amidst his ever-changing, unpredictable expression, Luo Chen took a deep breath.

He carefully took out an object and pushed it in front of the vacuum gu.

"Is this edible?"

A stone emitting multicolored light floated silently in front of me.

The whole thing resembled a vacuum worm cast from pure dark glass. Its body trembled, and then it flew up and lay directly on it.

A large amount of liquid was suddenly secreted from that toothless mouthpart, enveloping the entire multicolored stone.

Upon seeing this, Luo Chen's spirits lifted considerably.

"This Gu can actually consume Star Crystals!"

Luo Chen gained a great deal from his trip to the Sea of ​​Stars.

Not only did he perfect his cultivation technique and increase his realm, but his natal magic treasure, the Hunyuan Cauldron, also underwent another transformation.

In addition, I received an extra Star Crystal.

According to Danyang, the current leader of the Star Sect, this stuff is harmful to martial artists, greatly hindering their martial arts will. However, for cultivators, it is an excellent material for refining weapons.

Adding just one piece can dramatically increase the power of a cultivator's magical artifact.

Luo Chen originally intended to fuse it into the Yuan Tu Sword later.

But with his escape from the void imminent, what he needed was definitely not an offensive weapon, so he set his sights on the Vacuum Gu.

According to his deduction, the Vacuum Gu is related to spatial attributes, so it needs to devour a large amount of resources with spatial attributes.

As the ultimate concentrated crystal core of a star, it should also have related spatial properties.

I tried it now, and it really worked!

"I hope you can undergo a transformation before you set off!"

Filled with hope, Luo Chen carefully put away the Vacuum Gu.

Then he took out another item.

A pure white bone.

After gazing at the bone for a long time, Luo Chen finally decided to seal it away and put it away.

He had already determined that the object was not the bones of the Corpse Demon himself.

Moreover, there is a very high probability that it is related to the ancient god known as the Source of Compassionate Light in the ancient god's dojo.

That ancient god had long since lost his will, but even his remaining power was enough to withstand Jin Xingzun's full-force attack head-on, suggesting that he must have possessed astonishing power in his lifetime.

Luo Chen doesn't want to get involved with this kind of thing for the time being.

In fact, this was one of the reasons why Luo Chen gave up leaving the Ancient God's Dojo.

He was definitely not afraid of the Corpse Demon.

As he said before, in a head-on confrontation, the outcome is still uncertain.

At last!
Luo Chen slammed his palm onto the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Boom!
A tail, three thousand feet long, stretched across the chaotic void.

The flesh was mangled and bloody, a truly gruesome sight.

Yet, the terrifying power it contains makes it impossible to look away.

"Finally, there is the physical body of this part of the Mahayana True Spirit!"

Luo Chen licked his lips, a hint of greed in his eyes.

Such a thing, if placed in the outside world, would surely be the most exquisite material.

Whether it's alchemy, weapon forging, array formation, talisman making, or the cultivation of secret techniques, etc.

For cultivators, there are many ways to utilize such excellent materials.

Unfortunately, this is the Ruins of Guixu.

Regardless of whether Luo Chen has any methods to utilize them, even if he does, he would discard them.

For him, nothing is more important than improving his own hard power.

The same principle applies to condensing the Celestial Star Magnetic Divine Thunder and to letting the Vacuum Gu devour the Star Crystal. Therefore, for Jin Xingzun, who currently possesses nearly one-third of his physical body, there is only one suitable way to utilize it.

eat!
Luo Chen had also glimpsed the path of the True Spirit at one point, so he naturally knew what kind of power the True Spirit physical body contained.

Leaving aside the power of flesh and blood itself, the source blood containing vast amounts of vital energy is a great tonic for martial artists.

Luo Chen is currently stuck at the Great Perfection of the Human Immortal Realm. If he receives this supplement, he will surely advance even further.

A higher realm will also bring him a greater chance of escape when he leaves the Ruins of Return.

Moreover, he had already planned his advancement to the next realm while completing his cultivation technique.

Luo Chen's gaze fell upon the Hunyuan Cauldron, but he did not absorb it into his body. Instead, he left it outside.

However, a martial arts deity was still separated to take control of it.

Soon, the surrounding chaotic energy, like countless rivers flowing into the sea, was continuously absorbed into the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Luo Chen did not take any of the energy refined from it for the time being.

After making all the arrangements, he opened his menacing maw and bit into Jin Xingzun's flesh.

At the same time, the Blood Refining Divine Qi within his body began to circulate wildly, propelling the Qi and Blood Furnace along the path of the new cultivation technique.

The so-called new technique is the complete version of "Gods and Demons Without Form".

But back in the Sea of ​​Stars, Luo Chen had already given it a more suitable name.

The Undying Chaos Sutra.

If everything goes smoothly from here on out, he might be able to cultivate the kind of physique he envisioned.

In the chaotic sea, Luo Chen was accompanied by the Primordial Chaos Cauldron, with the Gate of Annihilation hanging above his head. He continuously chewed on the flesh and blood of true spirits, and his aura grew stronger and stronger as he became more and more unified.

And the passage of time has become even faster.
