Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2531 - 930: Utterly Defenseless, Shenyuan Makes a Move

The trio of recently advanced Nascent Souls from the Five Elements Divine Sect were exactly included in the ten True Disciples carefully chosen by the Divine Fire Sect Master.

Thanks to the complete backing of the Five Elements Divine Sect, they gained access to the Five Elements Spirit Marrow and the "Nayuan Divine Technique" gifted by the Supreme Elder, surging ahead in their cultivation progress.

Although seven among the ten did not succeed,

in merely a few decades, three managed to reach Nascent Soul, an astonishing accomplishment across the whole Immortal Cultivation World.

The praise Luo Chen had voiced earlier about their "deep roots" was far from empty words.

The Luo Tian Sect had stood for three hundred years,

but excluding Luo Chen himself, no true Nascent Soul powerhouse had ever emerged from it.

Bai Meiling followed the Ghost Cultivation path and benefited from lucky breaks.

Wang Yuan possessed Nascent Soul-level fighting strength, yet he was a Fourth-Tier Body Cultivator rather than a standard Immortal Cultivator.

Ling Fengzi came from outside, and the Black Dragon hardly deserved notice.

Even his junior sister Cang Long, fresh from her breakthrough, only accomplished it after grueling practice in the Ice Castle over centuries, with Luo Chen's assistance.

Maybe it wasn't entirely fair to stack it against the Luo Tian Sect, but when measured against the Shen Fu Sect, founded at a similar period to the Five Elements Divine Sect, the gap became obvious.

No matter how tirelessly Elder Fu labored, right up to the end of his life, he couldn't nurture a new Nascent Soul True Master and had to rely on his ally Luo Chen for hope.

The Five Elements Divine Sect truly deserved such respect.

Still, right at the clash's outset, a flicker of uncertainty stirred in Luo Chen's thoughts.

"Kill!"

An unfamiliar male cultivator brandished a flag, unleashing roaring brown tornadoes.

Luo Chen remained steady in their midst, unaffected.

With a simple sweep of his wide sleeves, the tornadoes dispersed by themselves.

This sight stunned the unfamiliar male cultivator.

Silver light ribbons poured down from the sky, like the Milky Way cascading from the Nine Heavens.

Luo Chen let out a cold snort, and the silver ribbons went limp right away, stripped of any danger.

Yao Hong appeared, her complexion ashen.

Clang!

A sword's ring echoed near his ears.

Luo Chen stayed still, merely tapping a finger.

Clink!

In an instant, fissures spread across the Flying Sword bit by bit,

forcing its wielder, Qi Emei, to spit out blood from the bond they shared.

Yet the foe, seasoned in combat, countered swiftly with a spell.

A massive handprint charged ahead with fierce momentum.

Innate Qi Great Handprint!

Spotting this move, Luo Chen's gaze flashed with interest,

though it lasted just a second.

He extended a finger, and the massive handprint shattered abruptly.

Though it appeared intricate, everything unfolded in mere breaths.

The seamless coordination of the three as they teamed up against a foe showed years of practice.

But it proved utterly useless!

Draped in flowing wide sleeves, Luo Chen hovered above, gazing down at the three supporting one another below with a shake of his head in disdain.

"Is this what you call Nascent Soul?"

"Your Natal Magic Items haven't even reached True Device Level, and your spells don't draw in Heaven and Earth Qi to boost their might."

"You hold the realm yet miss the strength. Honestly, our sect is puzzled—how exactly did you attain this prized Nascent Soul Realm?"

His remarks made Qi Emei and the pair flush with embarrassment.

They longed to retort, but words escaped them.

Three Nascent Souls uniting their efforts, only to fail at brushing the enemy's sleeve or strand of hair.

Regardless of Luo Chen's fame or might, wasn't this going too far?

Abruptly, a firm order rang out from nearby.

"Activate the Sect Protection Array!"

It came from the Divine Fire Sect Master.

As the three stalled Luo Chen, he had already directed the Five Elements Divine Sect members to trigger the Sect Protection Array.

Amid the throng of figures, rays of formation light ignited.

Their pace was astonishing, spanning vast distances in a flash, until the whole Five Elements Divine Sect lay shrouded.

As the guardian array of a premier Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect, once powered up, it stood unbreakable, barring even flies or mosquitoes from entry.

Though its force waned when used inside, it retained some restraining effect.

Luo Chen ignored the Divine Fire Sect Master's moves entirely.

He had covertly examined the Five Elements Divine Sect's Sect Protection Array prior to arrival.

Should he choose to depart, this array couldn't trap him!

For now, Luo Chen simply cast a pitying glance at the trio beneath.

He vaguely remembered Qi Emei.

From his initial trip to the Eastern Wasteland, he knew she had encountered Zeng Yilong.

At that time, hadn't this young woman been merely at the early Golden Core Realm?

The Human-Demon War lasted two centuries, and in it, she advanced from early Golden Core to Nascent Soul in roughly a hundred years.

Breaking through to Nascent Soul within a century was an exploit that Luo Chen himself had matched,

but obviously, not every cultivator was like Luo Chen.

For her, and likely her two companions, to pull off such a wonder in so brief a span, they had surely cut corners.

That explained the odd circumstance of holding the realm without the matching might.

"Such talented prospects, yet they've rushed their growth too much!"

With a sigh, Luo Chen lifted both hands, then drove one palm outward in a rush.

This opening pose, complete with the hand seal, stirred a sense of recognition in Qi Emei.

Didn't it resemble the Innate Qi Great Handprint she had employed before?

The instant after!

A colossal green handprint formed suddenly, plain yet brimming with force.

The power it held shifted everyone's faces.

Luo Chen burst into laughter, "This spell stems from your sect's Innate Qi Great Handprint as well. Do you think you can endure this strike?"

As he spoke,

the Qingyang Great Handprint blasted out in a hurry.

Everywhere it passed, Heaven and Earth Qi trailed after, making the handprint swell further while its inner power surged without end.
