Longevity begins with alchemy master

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Nine-Layered Immortal Tower!

Since Luo Chen released the restraint on the chaotic energy, the so-called Nine Rings of Annihilation no longer exist.

At the top of the tower, the once relatively calm Chaos Sea has long since boiled like oil.

A figure sat there, radiating a rich golden light.

Suddenly!
Luo Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and with a flick of his wrist, something appeared in his palm.

It is the Vacuum Gu.

It is no bigger than a fingernail, yet the texture on its surface is extremely fine and intricate.

Those folds, once resembling ancient glaciers, are now so fine they resemble countless threads.

Its body, which was originally as dark as glass, is now shrouded in a ray of multicolored starlight.

This glimmer of starlight not only makes it dreamy and magnificent, but also gives it a mysterious and unique charm.

"Has the final step of transformation finally been completed?"

As Luo Chen muttered to himself, the Gu worm's body trembled slightly.

Swish!Swish!
Suddenly, a pair of colorful wings emerged from its back.

As the wings fluttered, the surrounding void trembled, and even...

With his crimson eyes and golden pupils suddenly opening, Luo Chen stared intently at the surrounding void, a look of horror appearing on his face.

Because under the gaze of his spiritual eyes, there was a faint void turbulence nearby!

The so-called void turbulence, as understood by the general public, refers to a complex flow of energy in the void, making it difficult for normal living beings to fly or walk within it.

As for Luo Chen, who had some understanding of the Dao of Space, he knew what true void turbulence was.

It wasn't just a complex surge of energy; there were also countless tiny spatial nodes constantly being generated and destroyed within it!
It sounds simple, but the generation and destruction of spatial nodes can create extremely terrifying tearing forces, even more so than ordinary spatial rifts.

The mature Vacuum God Gu could actually stir up turbulent currents in the void, how could Luo Chen not be shocked?

But the changes in the Vacuum Divine Gu seem to go beyond this!
Originally a toothless mouth, it gradually protruded forward, eventually forming a pointed mouthpart, resembling a mosquito or a bug, or even a tree insect that feeds on tree sap.

This mouthpart is extremely sharp, inspiring fear in those who behold it.

The moment the mouthpiece appeared, the Vacuum God Gu suddenly plunged into the void before it.

next moment.

boom!
The Nine-Layer Immortal Tower, which was originally under Luo Chen's control, experienced an unusually large tremor.

Luo Chen sensed something was wrong and quickly called for a stop.

He had already refined this Vacuum Divine Gu, adding not only a soul restriction and a magic imprint, but also nourishing it with his essence and blood, thus establishing a deep connection between them.

After Luo Chen called a halt, the little guy reluctantly retracted its mouthparts and began to emit signals of hunger.

The tremors of the Nine-Layered Immortal Tower finally stopped.

Luo Chen realized that the little guy who had just undergone the transformation was probably hungry.

Just like a snail that eats the shell that hatched it after it hatches, in order to absorb nutrients.

The most useful nutrient for the Vacuum God Gu is undoubtedly "space".

The Nine-Layer Immortal Pagoda itself is a broken immortal artifact containing immense spatial attributes.

"You can't eat this now, eat this instead!"

Luo Chen grabbed a handful of empty bud crystals, and the little guy happily ate them.

Seeing this, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

At least for now, the Vacuum God Gu hasn't gotten tired of eating Void Sprout Crystals, otherwise it really wouldn't have anything good to feed it right now.

Watching the little guy insert its mouthparts into the hollow bud crystal and happily suck its food, Luo Chen fell into thought.

At present, the Vacuum Gu, which has transformed into a divine Gu, has already revealed two inherent abilities.

It triggers void turbulence and devours space.

As for the rest, it's still unclear.

So how should he utilize the Vacuum God Gu?
Luo Chen recalled his trip to the Southern Frontier, where he met Meng Shentong, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

The one he used was a fourth-tier vacuum gu, which was very helpful in combat and could even allow him to hide in the void.

But this one of my own is a fifth-tier divine Gu!

While pondering, Luo Chen had a sudden thought and summoned back the Vacuum God Gu.

In an instant, he noticed the difference from before.

He seemed to have become one with this space; he could blend into it if he wanted to.

It's not about hiding, it's about integrating!

Luo Chen was eager to try and took a step forward.

When it reappeared, it had already traveled a great distance and appeared on the other side.

"Shrinking earth to an inch, covering a thousand miles in an instant... no, it's more like... a divine escape through the void!"

A beautiful figure in green robes appeared in Luo Chen's mind.

He never imagined that he could master such a wondrous escape technique without any effort.

Having this escape technique would greatly increase the chances of successfully leaving Guixu.

And that's not all!

With a flick of his sleeve, Luo Chen caused the surrounding area to suddenly become empty, as if the chaotic energy that had been filling the space had vanished into thin air.

As he shook his sleeves again.

Boom!

A vast amount of chaotic energy suddenly poured out.

Luo Chen laughed heartily.

This Great Luo Heavenly Sleeve, which was improved from Qing Shuang's spatial divine power sleeve, has increased in power by dozens of times!

The original, improved Great Luo Heavenly Sleeve was at most a top-tier spell.

Now, however, it has acquired supernatural power!
Moving mountains and seizing seas is as simple as waving a sleeve.

Amidst his joy, Luo Chen pondered even more deeply.

Are there any other clever uses?
Now that I have replicated Qing Shuang's two divine abilities, can I also replicate the opponent's killing move using the Vacuum Divine Gu?

"That divine power called Sub-Void Slash..."

Luo Chen muttered to himself as he made a knife with one hand.

The next moment, a dark crack struggled to emerge in front of him.

Just as it was about to coalesce, Luo Chen suddenly frowned.

He let go and withdrew the move.

Looking at the palm, cracks have already appeared.

"Without understanding the details and the rules, it's ultimately too much to try and force things."

Luo Chen was no longer troubled.

The Vacuum Divine Gu likely has many more ingenious uses, but that requires more time to explore and develop.

But right now, there's no time for that.

Luo Chen returned to the location of the cultivation stone, where four figures were anxiously waiting.

Fang Qingxue, Gu Xun, Xiao Lin, and Bing Tianzi.

The Mad Martial Sect ultimately failed.

He was too old to break through to the Martial Immortal realm.

However, the woman named Bing Tianzi managed to succeed before the deadline and became one of the companions who would venture into the Gate of Destruction together.

Upon seeing Luo Chen return, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Qingxue greeted her, "You're finally back. The Nine-Layered Immortal Tower was shaking unusually earlier, and we thought it had started. If something had happened to you, we would have had even less hope."

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I was just experimenting with something."

The tremors of the Nine-Layered Immortal Tower were related to the Vacuum Divine Gu's attempt to devour this space.

but……

Luo Chen stopped smiling and looked up at the sky.

That Gate of Destruction is frantically consuming chaotic energy, causing tremors that are hundreds or thousands of times greater than before!
"Come on, come on!"

Everyone could sense this and understood what Luo Chen meant by "soon".

As they gazed at each other, the Ice Emperor uttered a magnetic voice that was neither clearly male nor female.

"Luo Chen, what should we do next?"

She broke through the barrier the latest, had the fewest methods for reaching higher realms, and was the least confident about whether she could leave the Ruins of Return.

Luo Chen said in a deep voice, "Although the Nine-Layer Immortal Tower is already dilapidated, it has its own unique characteristics that have allowed it to stand in the Ruins of Return for so long. When your time comes, you should hide in the core of the Immortal Tower and rely on the Nine-Layer Immortal Tower to withstand the first wave of impact. Afterward, we will seize the opportunity to rush into the Gate of Annihilation and leave the Ruins of Return by taking advantage of the gaps in its flow."

The Ice Emperor was surprised, "It's that simple?"

Luo Chen nodded. "Yes, it's that simple."

Gu Xun, standing to the side, said seriously, "The difficulty has never been how to enter the Gate of Destruction, but how to survive the complex and terrifying impact inside and make it to the outside world. The difficulty is such that even the Lord of the Worry-Free Realm hesitates to attempt it. It is definitely not as simple as you think."

The Ice Emperor remained silent for a moment, his mood visibly somber.

She had too little time to prepare. Even if she were to miraculously break through to the Human Immortal Realm, under those circumstances, I'm afraid...

No one had time to pay attention; in fact, giving her the opportunity to leave together was already a favor.

Fang Qingxue was somewhat curious and looked at Luo Chen, "Brother Luo, you said earlier that we should hide in the core of the Immortal Tower to avoid the first wave of impact. What about you?" "Me?"

Luo Chen smiled confidently as he looked at the frantically writhing Gate of Destruction.

"The first wave of impact will be an opportunity for me."

Everyone was puzzled for a moment.

……

On the desolate and boundless land.

Suddenly, a gust of wind arose.

More and more dense fog, appearing from nowhere, slowly but undeniably enveloped the entire world.

The roars were incessant.

Wherever it goes, all living beings perish.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky, shaking one's very soul.

Long spatial rifts, some tens of thousands of feet long, opened their deep, gaping maws like abysses.

The once bustling 72 cities are now eerily silent.

The towering pagodas stand lifeless.

The Abyss of Sorrow, where the earth cracks open and is buried by endless mist.

A space only a foot in size sank deep underground, enveloped by a magnetic ore vein.

Within the space, there was a green figure with a snake's tail coiled up, as if in a deep slumber.

As the mist descended, the space began to crumble inch by inch. The man in the green robe blinked, and before he could react, he turned to ashes and merged into the mist of destruction.

The once magnificent Immortal Realm of Corpses is now gone, with only the terrifying spatial rifts filling everything.

In the Heavenly Wind Division, countless lives perished silently.

In the sea of ​​stars.

Danyang, the master of the Star Sect, sat cross-legged atop the Purple Star Enclosure, the sundial beside him gradually dimming.

He looked up at the sky.

But then, three great suns crashed down like fireballs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The collapse of the ruins exacerbated the destruction.

Each hidden space was shrouded in mist, gradually being destroyed along with the Ruins.

Even in the spatial crevices where the ancient god's temple was located, a huge gap was revealed.

But when the fog of destruction rushed in, it was found to be completely empty.

The once magnificent, thirty-three-tiered Divine Mother Palace has vanished without a trace.

……

The whole world was dark and devoid of light.

Only one spatial vortex was rapidly expanding.

The deep entrance resembles a door, or a black hole capable of swallowing everything.

That is the place known as the Gate of Destruction.

The nine-tiered immortal tower that once barely covered it has shrunk and now stands on the ground below.

Freed from constraints and empowered by the final destructive force of the Void, this spatial vortex has expanded to a size of tens of millions of feet.

The whole world seemed to be about to be completely swallowed up as it expanded.

In the process of constantly expanding and contracting.

boom!
An immense shockwave erupted from the cave entrance!

Inside the Nine Layers Immortal Tower.

Fang Qingxue and the other three kept observing the outside world through the array's central control.

Especially the tiny figure sitting cross-legged beneath the Gate of Destruction, even with its true form spanning a thousand feet, still appeared insignificant compared to the enormous opening.

When that terrifying shockwave erupted, the four of them whispered in unison.

However, Luo Chen, who was at the center of the explosion, suddenly opened his eyes.

"coming!"

He offered no resistance, allowing the immense power to wash over him.

In just a fleeting moment.

boom!
Everything was like a dream, a bubble, a dew, or a flash of lightning.

The thousand-foot-tall true body shattered like a bubble.

Upon witnessing this scene, the four people hiding in the immortal tower were struck dumb, unsure of what to say.

The terrifying shockwaves are still spreading.

Even when the Nine-Layered Immortal Tower was shrunk to its maximum size and its defensive power was fully activated, it still showed cracks under this impact.

Amidst the tension, everyone had no choice but to continue keeping an eye on the outside world.

Since Luo Chen said that the first wave of impact was a great opportunity for him, he must have a backup plan and would not actively seek death like this.

As if to verify what they thought.

At the spot where Luo Chen's body disintegrated, a small gray cauldron slowly flew out.

hum...

A peculiar buzzing sound rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light appeared, growing to the size of a normal person.

It was a phantom shadow that reflected Luo Chen's face.

But that wasn't Luo Chen's true body; it was his soul!

Not only the main soul, but also the divided souls summoned from the seven hundred and twenty acupoints.

At this moment, we have already united as one!

The moment Luo Chen's divine soul manifested, the collapsing world of Guixu flashed with bright white lightning in the darkness, as if to destroy Luo Chen's divine soul.

But Luo Chen ignored it and remained seated on the Hunyuan Cauldron.

The soul-stirring thunderous sound crackled and arrived.

The Hunyuan Cauldron also flashed with lightning and emitted thunderous sounds to resist.

A gap has appeared between the two sides in their stalemate.

Luo Chen seized the opportunity and pointed a finger at the Hunyuan Cauldron.

In an instant, the power accumulated over a century was unleashed.

Luo Chen's divine soul controlled this power and activated the "Undying Chaos Scripture"!
It was as if they sensed something.

A crimson light gradually emerged from the place where Luo Chen's true body had been destroyed.

This radiance grew brighter and brighter until it reached the heavens and stood upright.

Amidst the blood-red light, a magnificent figure rapidly coalesced into form.

His feet tread on the void, his legs like pillars of heaven.

With three heads and six arms, it was exceptionally majestic.

Luo Chen's soul did not linger any longer, transforming into a stream of light that rushed into his physical body.

The instant he opened his eyes!

At the foot of his feet, a sea of ​​blood surged and a lotus platform emerged, with thirteen petals, as if signifying a breakthrough of the limits of an era.

Above their heads, golden light shone forth, solemn and majestic. Within the golden light, however, lay a terrifying halo of bones. Engraved on the bone halo were many mysterious characters; those familiar with Buddhist scriptures would recognize them as words such as "no self, no person, no sentient being."

However, these characters were not engraved with ordinary script, but were generated using the golden etched script of the celestial realm, making them even more wondrous.

Luo Chen stood on the Thirteenth Grade Blood Sea Lotus Platform, with the Formless Golden Bone Wheel above his head and his eyes radiating brilliant divine light. He was like a god, a demon, and a Buddha, truly awe-inspiring.

In a moment of clarity, I subconsciously uttered a name.

"Qing Shuang?"

Then, he calmed himself down and examined himself.

Of course, a brief glance at the attribute panel was not enough to gain a comprehensive understanding.

Sure enough, the entry above changed for a moment.

[The Undying Chaos Body]

Destruction precedes construction; immortal and indestructible.

He finally took the last step, achieving the Martial Dao Annihilation Realm and forging the Chaos Undying Body he had always dreamed of!

Moreover, the previously hidden [Five Elemental Bodies] began to emit a faint light, almost breaking free from its seal!

That's enough!

Luo Chen put away his attribute panel, and his body shrank rapidly, returning to its normal state.

He reached out and beckoned!
A streak of light flew in front of him, enveloping him completely.

As soon as they entered the Nine-Layer Immortal Tower, four pairs of eyes turned to them simultaneously.

Luo Chen gave a low shout.

"go!"

The next moment, the Nine-Layered Immortal Tower transformed into a streak of light, spinning and rushing into the Gate of Annihilation with the ferocity of a moth drawn to a flame. (End of Chapter)
