Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 697 The Fall of Luo Chen

For a cultivator, what method can be considered the most powerful one?
Spell bombing?

The magic weapon is sharp?

Or is it an attack on the soul that is impossible to defend against?

Do not!
Strictly speaking, these are not the strongest moves.

The strongest and most powerful move is the "self-detonation" that even the cultivators cannot control themselves. It is enough to cause harm within dozens of miles or even shock people within a hundred miles!
Yes, self-destruction!

Especially for a Jindan cultivator who has condensed his Jindan, once he takes the initiative to break his Jindan, the attack he will launch will be an indiscriminate terrorist bombardment.

Under such an attack, even enemies of higher levels would have to retreat.

The main reason for this is that the "Golden Elixir" is the culmination of a cultivator's hundreds of years of cultivation.

That represents the essence condensed from days and nights of hard training.

The essence condensed over thousands of days and nights burst out in an instant, and its power is extremely terrifying. No Jindan cultivator would be willing to take this step unless they are in desperate situation with no other options.

It is even said that many Jindan cultivators never thought of self-destructing their Jindan until they were killed.

Once your golden elixir explodes, you will be dead for sure!
It's bound to be a failure!

Due to subconscious resistance, few people would even think of this until death.

Over the years, Luo Chen had only heard of a cultivator self-destructing his golden elixir once, and had only seen one act of self-destruction in person once.

The former originated from the period of the founding war of the Luoyun Sect in the East Wasteland. A supreme elder of the Wanxiang Sect faced the siege of the demon king and blew himself up to cover the retreat of his disciples.

The latter happened after he arrived in the North Sea. At the dock of Feileng City, a cultivator from the Wu family named Wu Di tried to kill him by self-destructing his golden elixir, but he was prepared in advance and escaped from the range of the self-destruction.

Luo Chen was unwilling to face the power of the self-destruction of a strong man of the same level, and he never thought that he would reach that step one day.

But he never expected that he would actually be forced to go through this.

Although it is not the natal golden elixir, the quality of this second elixir, which was refined by the third-level great perfection Yin Chensha, is no less than the golden elixir of the late-stage great cultivator!
The power it contains is normal if it is released slowly.

Can explode suddenly...

At this moment, an unimaginable storm of magical power was wreaking havoc in Luo Chen's body.

If it were anyone else, they would have died and turned into a cloud of blood mist when the second Yuandan was detonated by the Nine Refining Fire.

But he managed to hold on.

Everything depends on this powerful physique of the fourth level of ancient times!
This scene was as if a great cultivator, comparable to the late Jindan stage, had self-exploded inside the body of a small wild beast.

And precisely because of the "smallness" of the body, the power of the self-destruction is extremely concentrated.

In an instant, Luo Chen's body began to fail and began to disintegrate bit by bit.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
In the hall, a cloud of blood mist suddenly appeared.

Beads of blood shot out from the hole in Luo Chen's body.

It was obvious to the naked eye that his condition was getting worse and worse, and he was almost unable to hold on.

Not only that, the severe pain from the collapse of his qi sea stirred up Luo Chen's sea of ​​consciousness and soul, causing him to faint instantly.

Because of the severe pain, I suddenly woke up.

This was a horrific pain that even Luo Chen, who was known for his indomitable will, could not endure.

Constantly fainting and waking up.

"what……"

A low growl like that of a wild beast came out of Luo Chen's mouth.

The veins on his distorted face were exposed.

"I do not accept!"

"I will never accept this ending!"

In the confused soul, silent shouts are roaring.

Luo Chen has never slacked off, but has devoted all his energy to practice day after day for a hundred years, which has led to his current state of mind.

Only after walking on thin ice through countless life-and-death crises did he gain countless opportunities.

Especially after going through so many hardships and finally inheriting the True Lord's legacy, and possessing the Five Spirits Dao Body that can directly lead to the Nascent Soul Stage and even the God Transformation Stage, how could he collapse here in one day?

He doesn't accept it!

Waves of energy were mobilized from all over his body, barely stabilizing his precarious body.

not enough!

Still not enough!

Luo Chen gritted his teeth, ignoring the confusion of his thoughts, and squeezed the original vitality from deep within his flesh, forming source power, and forcibly suppressed the magic storm in his body!
The red magic power and the fierce source of strength created a situation of explosion and suppression with Luo Chen's body as the battlefield.

All of this is to blame on the Nirvana Holy Fire and the Nine Refinements Beacon Fire.

The former uses his body to fight against the latter.

The latter knew he was no match for his opponent and simply wanted to destroy the "home court" of the Nirvana Holy Flame.

Luo Chen has to bear the bitter consequences.

Gradually, Luo Chen felt that his already scarce source of energy was becoming increasingly scarce.

The riot of the Second Yuan Dan's magic power was almost impossible to suppress.

The reason for this situation is not that the source power is weaker than the magic power, but that the quantity is too small!
After all, the time that Luo Chen spent on reaching the fourth level of the ancient realm was too short.

Almost not long after he advanced, he and Ding Yimoyun and others came to the Land of Fallen Demons, and had little time to extract and accumulate source power.

Some of his source power was consumed in the battle with the Mermaid Emperor Liujun and when he was refining the Yanfa Pill in the Dan Realm.

Therefore, this embarrassing situation of lack of source power has arisen.

"Correct!"

"Replenish your energy!"

In a daze, Luo Chen concentrated his mind with great difficulty and took out an item from the storage ring.

It is the real Tai Sui!

I had eaten about one-tenth of it before in order to make the elixir, and now there is 90% of the crystal clear white jelly left.

This time, Luo Chen was desperate and was determined to swallow it whole.

He made a gesture with his left hand.

Rumble…

Luo Chen's head suddenly became bigger, as if a giant monster head suddenly popped out of his human body.

With its bloody mouth wide open, it swallowed the entire ten-foot-long Tai Sui body.

The Tai Sui enters the mouth and the sharp teeth chew it madly.

As the juice flowed, an incomparably rich vitality fell into Luo Chen's body.

Without waiting for the magic power to be contaminated, the source power began to seize and refine the vitality.

As a fifth-level spiritual plant, and a Tai Sui body that once had spiritual power and comprehended some of the wood laws, the vitality contained in it is first-class even among thousands of spiritual medicines.

Even the Demon Lord Liantian back then had to rely on the terrifying vitality contained in Tai Sui's body to cultivate and save the hybrid spiritual plants he was experimenting with.

At this moment, Luo Chen, who had obtained the complete vitality of Tai Sui, was caught off guard and actually burped.

"belch……"

Source power suddenly increased!
In an instant, Luo Chen recovered.

At this moment, he finally had the mood to pay attention to his body.

However, when looking inside, it was a mess.

The Qi Sea was completely destroyed.

Of the meridians, only one out of ten survives.

Hundreds of acupoints that were opened with great effort, once shone like stars in the body, but now are either destroyed or blocked by chaotic magic power.

The internal organs were so damaged that it was unbearable to look at them closely.

If it weren't for the tremendous vitality provided by Tai Sui, Luo Chen would now be a dying man covered in human skin, with only one breath left.

"My Five Spirits Dao Body!"

……

"My true self!"

In a certain world in Mingzhaotian.

The fat monk who was struggling to move forward suddenly held his head and let out a mournful howl.

Just now, he suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in his soul.

After the pain, he was horrified to find that his connection with his original body was gone!

Gone!

That was the body that he cultivated for tens of thousands of years and which was only born with intelligence three thousand years ago!
Without a physical body, let alone transforming into a human form and practicing to gain a glimpse of the great Dao, even his ascension to the state of spiritual transformation would be impossible.

"How could this be so..."

"What on earth did Luo Chen do!"

Filled with anger and despair, the fat monk no longer moved cautiously, but began to rush around in this world.

He wants to go out! He wants to find Luo Chen!

He wants to get his body back!
……

"no!"

"The meridians may be reshaped, the five internal organs may be put back in place, and even the acupoints may be created. But if the sea of ​​qi is gone, my path in life will be cut off."

"Although the body is strong, the road ahead is unclear."

"Especially, my Five Spirits Dao Body!"

Luo Chen's body was shaking uncontrollably, unable to accept what he was seeing.

At this moment.

When he looked inward, he saw a flash of golden light coming from a blocked acupoint.

In an instant, Luo Chen recognized the guy.

The main culprit of all evil—the Holy Fire of Nirvana!
If it hadn't drilled into his body, how could it have attracted the Nine Refinements Fire, and how could he have ended up like this.

"You hid it very well!"

Luo Chen gritted his teeth and tried to force it out of his body.

But when he was about to take action, Luo Chen suddenly stopped.

"The Holy Flame of Nirvana... The Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra... Nirvana..."

As if a blessing had come to his mind, Luo Chen forced himself to adjust his body and assumed a cross-legged sitting position with his five hearts facing the sky.

Afterwards, he started to practice the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra".

At this moment, his Qi sea collapsed, his meridians were broken, and his acupoints were either destroyed or blocked. He was unable to practice his skills smoothly at all.

But Luo Chen followed his memory and forcibly mobilized his magic power to circulate energy in the void within his body.

The magic power of the second Yuandan was still rampant after it was detonated, causing his actions to fail repeatedly.

"come out!"

With a low shout, a bright red golden elixir leaped into his body.

It is the primordial golden elixir hidden in the Hunyuan Ding!

After the natal golden elixir appeared, it pressed down the universe within the body like the sun. The sadistic magic power began to condense with the golden elixir as the center, just like a turbulent torrent was channeled.

Luo Chen finally had the opportunity to start constructing the operation route of the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" in the void.

Time passes slowly.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Luo Chen, relying on his instinctive memory, finally managed to reconstruct the operating route of the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra".

Then!

"inverse!"

There was a madness in Luo Chen's eyes, and he resolutely went against his innate martial arts.

If other cultivators knew about this crazy behavior, they would simply call him a lunatic.

Who dares to go against the destiny of his life?

That would be tantamount to suicide!

It's just like the self-destruction of the golden elixir.

But for Luo Chen, this may be his only chance to survive.

Do not!
It’s not about survival from death, but rebirth from Nirvana!

The "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" is the practice of Qixia Yuanjun. Its true meaning is derived from the Phoenix clan's method of Nirvana and rebirth.

To truly reach that state of rebirth, one needs to go through three stages.

Seriously speaking, its name is "Nine Tribulations and Three Nirvanas"!
Although the fragment of the golden elixir that Luo Chen obtained did not mention the theory of the nine calamities in detail, it recorded the method of the three nirvanas.

Luo Chen knew clearly that he had achieved nirvana once.

That is nirvana in terms of magical power.

It covers three major aspects: spiritual roots, qi sea, and golden elixir.

It is also known as spiritual root calamity, qi sea calamity, and golden elixir calamity.

After he passed these three tribulations, his five spiritual roots were transformed into fire spiritual roots comparable to a single heavenly spiritual root. His sea of ​​​​qi was also transformed into a sea of ​​​​fire, and even the five-colored golden elixir became a red golden elixir. His magic power was completely reborn and turned into the domineering Tianhuang magic power.

After three kalpas, one will attain Nirvana.

From then on, Luo Chen began to study the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra".

This is Nirvana!
After three calamities, one will achieve nirvana!
The second nirvana that Luo Chen knows corresponds to the nirvana of the physical body!
As long as he completes the nirvana of the physical body, his originally ordinary body can be transformed into a fire spirit body, which will be more suitable for practicing the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra".

Luo Chen had never thought about this aspect before.

For him, achieving physical nirvana is a risky act that requires risking one's life.

In particular, the stronger his body is, the greater the danger he will face in achieving Nirvana.

So, he never dared to think about it.

especially!

After soaking in the strange spiritual spring in the Mingzhaotiandan Palace, he possessed the Five Spirits Taoist Body.

This is a physique that is even better than a single fire spirit body.

It will allow him to have a smooth path to his Nascent Soul in the future, and he will no longer be restricted by any techniques.

If one were to undergo physical nirvana and transform into a fire spirit body, the Five Spirits Dao Body would become a mirage. Even though it would add wings to the art of fire magic, one would ultimately lose more.

Therefore, he buried the so-called nine calamities and three nirvanas deep in his heart.

But for now!
"I am already dead, and the Five Spirits Dao Body has become a thing of the past. How can I talk about the future? How can I talk about the Dao?"

"The only way to survive is to take advantage of this opportunity to be reborn in Nirvana!"

"Whether this broken body can be restored or not depends on my life right now."

Luo Chen never lacks the determination to risk his life!

My mind is made up and there is no more hesitation.

Luo Chen brazenly reversed the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra"!
From the natal golden elixir, tremendous magic power poured out, carrying with it the raging magic power after the second primordial elixir was shattered, and began to wash over every corner of Luo Chen's body.

As the flushing continues.

His bones began to break inch by inch.

His muscles began to fall off piece by piece.

Suddenly.

boom!
There was a loud noise in the hall, and Luo Chen's body suddenly exploded!

In the blood mist, countless blood beads floated in the void as if time had stopped.

Not even a trace of the head was left.

Only a large spine bone with a faint flash of lightning stood in the void like a dragon.

There were wailing sounds at the same time.

"Owner!"

A strong wind swept in, and Tianxuan came suddenly.

Behind her, there was a rumbling sound of crawling, as if some huge creature was rushing around.

Suddenly.

The giant unicorn dragon head went deep into the hall and looked at this scene with anger.

"Owner!"

"Tianxuan, what happened to the master?"

Tianxuan's eyes were full of disbelief. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch the complete thunder bone.

That was the large spine bone that Luo Chen had formed when he was in the foundation-building stage, using the power of heavenly thunder to refine his body in the Baiye Cave in the Jilei Jiushan Mountain.

Although it has not shown any miraculous power over the years, it is still rooted in Luo Chen.

At this moment, the only thing left on Luo Chen's body that was completely preserved was this bone...

"Crack!"

Tianxuan's hand stopped.

In her eyes, which were sparkling with tears, there was a crack on the intact thunder bone.

Then, the cracks cracked rapidly.

The clicking sound continued.

Until it is completely broken down into small pieces of bones.

At this moment, a hint of relief seemed to flash through the minds of the two.

That was the slavery restriction that Luo Chen had set for them in his early years.

The two demons knew very well what the lifting of this ban meant.

In the silent hall, there was only a woman holding a complete black armor, whispering with despair in her eyes:
"The master has fallen."
