Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2480 - 911: Within Arm’s Reach, One Man as an Army (Part 2)
"It's finished!"
"Once you're dead, your son will follow right after, and the entire Luo Tian Sect will go down with you as well."
"All those in the Eastern Wasteland connected to you won't meet a pleasant end!"
"Tianyi..."
The Heize Ancestor balled up his right fist before thrusting it ahead, then gradually unfurled it while suspended in the air.
He whispered under his breath:
"Raw water!"
In the instant that followed!
A dark ring, drawn from the identical origin as the Heize Ancestor, burst forth from inside Luo Chen's form.
Resembling a gushing fountain, it started to surge and bubble.
Luo Chen's flesh and blood rapidly dissolved in that moment, appearing as though it was being eaten away.
With everything accomplished, the Heize Ancestor let out an involuntary breath of ease.
Calling upon the divine power that lingered on Luo Chen had clearly drained much of his existing power.
The ambient Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around them gradually faded away; he refused to allow it to persist, knowing it would rebound and cause him to merge with Heaven and Earth.
"Everything's done."
As these words escaped him, profound exhaustion settled over his features, eclipsing his prior lethargy.
What did slaying Luo Chen truly achieve?
It only served to release his pent-up rage.
Yet the Dark Abyss Sect had endured a catastrophic setback in the end.
Rebuilding after the conflict was unavoidable, though regaining its former glory remained uncertain.
Furthermore, the Dark Abyss Sect's diminished condition would doubtless draw the greedy stares from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.
His burdened head drooped low as he stared at the earth below.
"At least this Blessed Land remains, providing some base for the Dark Abyss Sect's future."
Right then!
A shadowy form materialized from the dark ring amid the dissolving snow, its fingers shaped like a blade, lunging forward.
At such close range, this strike held the might to topple empires!
Taken by surprise, the Heize Ancestor reflexively channeled his leftover Qi Power to swell his magical robe.
Yet!
The keen sword edge sliced through as if slicing cloth, entering his frame effortlessly.
Puff!
His inflated form collapsed like a punctured balloon.
The Heize Ancestor stared upward in disbelief, locking eyes with Luo Chen's crimson gaze featuring golden irises.
"How could you break free from my divine power's grasp?"
Luo Chen offered no reply, his gaze brimming solely with frenzy.
From his fingertip protruded a sword point, wildly tearing into the Heize Ancestor's innards, breaching the Purple Mansion Barrier and jabbing at the fragile Primordial Spirit.
"It's a Substitute Puppet!"
The realization struck the Heize Ancestor's thoughts, immediately understanding Luo Chen's trick.
With no moment to ponder, he unleashed a savage bellow.
"Begone!"
The explosive Qi hurled Luo Chen's figure aside. He tumbled over the terrain, smashing against numerous boulders.
Though Luo Chen got shoved back, the agony piercing his Primordial Spirit grew even fiercer.
The Heize Ancestor glanced downward, spotting a Blood Sword embedded in his torso.
Shaking hands extended to grasp and extract the Blood Sword.
But the moment had passed!
A wild, voracious awareness erupted from the blade, charging at the Primordial Spirit within the Purple Mansion and swallowing it whole.
It was the Yuan Tu Sword Spirit!
Cultivators temper their Qi and spirit, and when they attain the Divinity Transformation Realm, the Nascent Soul fuses with the Divine Soul to form a mighty Primordial Spirit.
In such a condition, even lacking a corporeal form, so long as the Primordial Spirit endured, the path to the Great Dao stayed pure.
However, should the Primordial Spirit fall, everything ends.
Such a feat of eliminating a Divine Transformation Great Power wasn't new to the Yuan Tu Sword.
Before, its target had been the Blood Sea Elder Ancestor from the Yuan Mo Sect.
Now, it claimed the Heize Ancestor of the Dark Abyss Sect.
In this instant, the Yuan Tu Sword Spirit, gorged on new blood and Primordial Spirit, let out a piercing sword wail, as if celebrating, akin to a contented burp.
At the same time, the Heize Ancestor remained rooted in place, eyes bulging, resembling a lifeless carving.
"Ancestor!!!"
A high-pitched, ear-splitting cry suddenly echoed.
Trapped within a ring of flames, Ye Ruoli, who had been silenced by Luo Chen's domain earlier, found herself unable to utter a word.
It was only after this brief but deadly clash wrapped up that she could finally voice her shock.
She refused to believe or acknowledge that her sect's esteemed ancestor had fallen mere steps away, his presence completely vanished.
Far off.
A lofty silhouette clambered free from a heap of debris.
Beneath Ye Ruoli's horrified stare, it advanced gradually toward the Heize Ancestor.
"Pill Saint Hall Master, stop!"
"The ancestor cannot perish!"
Luo Chen halted, crimson liquid trickling from his lips, his breathing ragged and uneven.
"If he lives, I die instead."
Upon these words, the young lady's frame lurched, almost brushing the encircling flames. Luckily, Luo Lingxi steadied her with a grip.
"Sister Ruoli, Father had no other option."
Luo Lingxi spoke, her thoughts resounding with the Heize Ancestor's declaration prior to his lethal attempt on Luo Chen.
All linked to Luo Chen must perish!
Father committed no error!
Ye Ruoli's complexion drained of color, her mouth trembling without cease: "But, but..."
No such excuses existed.
Luo Chen approached the Heize Ancestor, extending a hand to withdraw the blade.
In the prior clash within the Ba Dao Domain, he had identified the bloodlust inherent in the Yuan Tu Sword Spirit.
Subsequently, amid the fray in the Medicine King Realm, he broke the Third Seal on the Yuan Tu Sword using his vital blood, fully unleashing the sword spirit.
Yet upon Qing Shuang's arrival, the Yuan Tu Sword Spirit lacked any opening to attack.
Qing Shuang's manipulation of spatial divine powers proved far too wondrous, denying the Yuan Tu Sword any chance to land a fatal blow.
But now!
This presented a flawless chance like never before!
A gravely wounded Divine Transformation Great Power, struck from point-blank range.
To land this hit, he deployed the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire, the Substitute Puppet, and the Divine Power Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger as bait, yielding incredible success.
