Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2482 - 912: True Fire Mutation, Making a Comeback

Up and down it goes, dim and descending.

Darkness envelops the entire world, leaving directions impossible to make out.

All at once, a spark of light flashes into view.

Those beings that had roamed endlessly were pulled toward it, naturally inching nearer by instinct.

But greeting them instead was the sharp sword glow bursting forth from fingertips.

Having easily dispatched these minor little spirits, Luo Chen carefully stepped out of the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

The instant he caught sight of the outside world's landscape, he froze in place.

He raised his gaze to the heavens, then dropped it to the earth, sensing that countless years had slipped by.

"Am I still in the Mingyuan Sacred Land?"

Everywhere he looked stretched an endless Black Water, as if he'd returned to the Oblivion Sea.

Yet unlike the crushing weight of the Oblivion Sea's waves, this Black Water here filled him with disorder and confusion.

All of a sudden.

Luo Chen spotted the barrier around him, its red hue shifting to deep black while steadily weakening.

He naturally channeled his Qi Power to trigger the Protective Body Air Shield.

But the second the Qi Power started returning, Luo Chen swiftly cast it aside, his face twisting in revulsion.

"This is the Ming Shui of the Nether Abyss!"

The Oblivion Sea's waters mainly bring corrosion, steadily wearing down a cultivator's Protective Body Air Shield, though they rarely touch the core of the cultivator's Mana.

However, the Ming Shui of the Nether Abyss stands apart, its corruption and pollution beyond all bounds!

If a cultivator's Mana, Magic Items, or even their flesh gets tainted, it's ruined forever.

Luo Chen had instinctively attempted to draw back his depleted Qi Power, right away realizing something was wrong.

That Qi Power was completely corrupted, totally unfit for reuse.

On top of that, this area offered no way to restore Qi Power.

Now that he'd recognized the Ming Shui, a realization exploded in Luo Chen's thoughts.

"Has the Nether Abyss broken free to swallow the whole Mingyuan Sacred Land?"

No reply came; he was left to investigate alone.

While Ming Shui can taint Qi Power, the corruption remains somewhat contained, and Luo Chen's deep reserves of Qi Power could hold out for some time.

He pressed on, covering ten miles, then a hundred, then a thousand...

Along the way, spectral beings popped up in his vision now and then.

But with Luo Chen hiding his aura and even shifting his Mana Shield's color to match the Nether Abyss, he mostly slipped by undetected.

Such trivial spectral beings posed no threat to Luo Chen.

What really put him on edge were the rare sightings of Nascent Soul Stage spectral beings!

Legends spoke of the Nether Abyss holding vast numbers of sealed wicked spirits and vengeful souls.

It was a timeless Forbidden Area, flowing for thousands of years even before the Dark Abyss Sect founded its base there.

Afterward, in the wake of the ancient founding battles, the Dark Abyss Sect, seeking ease, dumped all the hard-to-cleanse demons and spectral souls from the conflicts straight into the Nether Abyss.

This approach saved them the trouble of cleansing those spectral souls and also ramped up the Nether Abyss's menace to guard their sect.

Yet now, the Nether Abyss had turned the tables, flooding the Mingyuan Sacred Land and freeing the horde of spectral beings.

A Nascent Soul Stage spectral being was far from a fluke.

In this vast Netherworld Ocean without end, heaven knows how many Nascent Soul Stage spectral beings lurk, and maybe even Divine Transformation Stage ones too.

Luo Chen refused to try forcing his way through the Nether Abyss.

Once his Qi Power dwindled to a critical point, he paused and headed upward.

This ascent happened quickly.

But right as he reached the surface, Luo Chen stopped short.

Golden flames blazed across it!

Luo Chen's eyes narrowed, the words spilling out.

"Nirvana Sacred Fire!"

...

The Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land unsealed once again.

Luo Chen came back with a heavy expression.

Black King approached at once, "Master, what's the situation out there?"

Luo Chen dismissed it with a wave, "It's finished, all of it."

Black King hesitated, puzzled, "What do you mean by finished?"

"The Dark Abyss Sect is finished!"

With that, Luo Chen ignored him, headed to the ring of fire, and with a simple gesture, turned that ring of fire into a tiny golden bird that perched on his shoulder.

He glanced at Luo Lingxi, who remained seated by Ye Ruoli’s body, and said nothing, maintaining a calm face.

Maybe this outcome was for the best, sparing him the need to explain things to Mingyuan's powerhouses.

As for his own son?

The kid just can't cultivate, but he's no idiot; he'd surely grasp that in that situation, Luo Chen had no real option.

Perhaps witnessing loved ones perish right in front of him was too much to take all at once.

Time would heal it all.

Luo Chen now had plenty of time to spare.

"I'm stuck within the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land!"

Luo Chen muttered in annoyance, then jumped and picked a close mountain summit.

A Fourth Order Spirit Vein lay there, its Spirit Qi rich enough to refill his Qi Power.

After Luo Chen departed, Black King stood there, still processing it.

That mighty Dark Abyss Sect was no more?

He'd felt the sect's power firsthand, packed with countless experts that filled him with fear.

Forget the three God Transformation Ancestors; just stepping into the Dark Abyss Sect and facing Valley Immortal Feng Jiang would've ended him.

And now everything had vanished just like that?

"What happened to those three ancestors?"

...

"The three ancestors: one fell to my sword, one to Qi Xia Emperor’s strike, and the final one..."

In just a handful of days, through his regular cultivation practice, Luo Chen had brought his Qi Power back to full strength.

Evidently, after refining his cultivation technique, his progress had surged ahead.

At that time, he was seated in a lotus position inside a newly carved Cave Mansion on the peak, his thoughts replaying the details he'd pulled from a Golden Core spectral being earlier.
