Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2533 - 931: The Grand Five Elements Sword Formation
Previously on Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster...
Great Five Elements Sword Formation!
The blueprint for this formation stems from Han Zhan’s enhanced Taiji Five Elements Sword Array, doing away with puppet swordsmen and substituting Sword Pills in their stead.
These Sword Pills for the array were collected from Feiyun Zi of the North Sea, Master Li of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, and Lin Qingxuan from the Yu Ding Sword Sect.
Regrettably, because the Sword Pills varied in quality, the formation invariably suffered from imperfections.
In earlier fights, whenever Luo Chen activated this sword formation, full triumph always eluded him.
Only lately, amid Cang Long’s tribulation-crossing, did Luo Chen utilize the might of Heavenly Thunder to upgrade three Sword Pills to True Device grade, thus perfecting the sword formation that Han Zhan had dreamed of.
And this flawless sword array made its debut in combat against Luo Chen’s enduring foe!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Like agile fish gliding through water, the five Sword Pills shot into the empty space.
In the following instant, dazzling Sword Light ignited fiercely!
With True Master Shenyuan as the focal point, innumerable Sword Silk burst outward, extending everywhere akin to threads on a loom.
Endlessly shifting, the Sword Silk intertwined and sliced toward True Master Shenyuan.
For hundreds of years, True Master Shenyuan had meticulously forged the crystal Flying Sword as a True Device, its lethal force matching that of his five-colored pagoda.
However, inside the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, it appeared disoriented.
Even as the Flying Sword zigzagged wildly, severing countless Sword Silk, the threads kept regenerating without end.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Strikes from the Sword Silk carved deep gashes into the Divine Essence Protective Treasure Clothing.
The hat shielding his head got ripped clean off, exposing his bizarre and clashing visage.
"So sharp?"
True Master Shenyuan’s eyes narrowed sharply, utterly unprepared for the sword formation’s ferocity.
He remained unaware that while the formation drew from Han Zhan, its capabilities surpassed what anyone anticipated. Luo Chen had infused top-grade Nine Yang Geng Metal into it, rendering the honed Sword Silk from the Sword Pills sharper than nearly every artifact worldwide, except for a handful of rare treasures.
With quick flicks of his ten fingers, Luo Chen unleashed the sword technique at full speed, the flawless Great Five Elements Sword Formation filling him with deep satisfaction.
At last, no weaknesses lingered!
He could finally stop fretting over foes finding gaps to exploit.
Now that Shenyuan Old Thief had stepped into the sword formation, death awaited him!
Yet upon glimpsing the face beneath the foe’s hat, Luo Chen hesitated briefly.
"Changed!"
"Not this face!"
He recalled vividly that in their prior clash, the hat concealed someone else’s features, said to mirror the late True Master Lin Mu.
But this current face stirred memories in Luo Chen of... Old Ghost Mo Tian?
"You’re distracted!"
A wicked chuckle escaped as the crystal Flying Sword morphed into radiant rainbow light, wrapping around True Master Shenyuan while piercing through the Sword Silk layers, striving to escape the formation.
Luo Chen’s brow furrowed, pushing aside his uncertainties, and with a sharp cry, he altered his sword technique swiftly.
"Slash!"
Right then, myriad Sword Silk gathered, shaping a massive golden light sword.
As Luo Chen thrust his sword gesture forward, the light sword pursued, cleaving downward.
Confronting this blade, Shenyuan’s eyes widened in wrath, but instead of falling back, he pressed on, snapping his fingers.
"Go!"
The crystal Flying Sword that shrouded him launched ahead, its tiny form challenging the colossal golden sword.
Clang!
The resonant clash of blades rang out across the area.
In that split-second impact, overwhelming force exploded outward.
The Great Five Elements Sword Formation got torn apart by brute strength, shattering in one blow.
The five Sword Pills whirled back into Luo Chen’s grasp, and he seized them without a trace of regret over the formation’s breach.
After all, the damage inflicted on the enemy brought him immense pleasure.
Crack, crack, crack...
A hidden splintering noise arose softly.
Shenyuan clutched the sword hilt, his complexion turning crimson.
The instant after.
Pfft!
Fresh blood gushed from his mouth, and the crystal Flying Sword, bound to his Divine Soul, splintered into fragments.
This Flying Sword held no ordinary status.
Crafted by an elite Tool Casting Master using vast rare materials, it had been carefully cultivated over centuries, even enduring the epic clash at Cangwu Mountain.
But now, Luo Chen’s sword formation had utterly destroyed it.
"Damn thing!"
Disregarding the searing agony in his Divine Soul, Shenyuan erupted in fury, jabbing a finger toward Luo Chen.
Suddenly, hazy azure light flared out!
This technique once more?
Luo Chen remembered it well; previously, the foe had wielded it to stalemate his Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger.
At that point, he believed it to be a Divine Capability Art.
However, now it struck him as partially correct yet not fully, resembling something else...
"I see!"
Luo Chen pondered, lifting his hands as a Fire Phoenix rose from his back, bearing immense might while screeching at the hazy azure light.
In the void, azure and crimson forces smashed together.
The misty glow relentlessly assaulted the rival power, growing without cease, making the skies and ground tremble, while the mighty divine sect’s heartland suffered hits from the violent shockwaves.
Watching these two methods collide, Luo Chen’s doubts solidified into certainty.
Through grasping the Fire Origin, he noted that skills tied to matching attributes grew stronger.
Initially, he attributed it to the Law’s True Intent merging in.
Subsequently, he realized that wasn’t the case.
Under that condition, the skills outshone typical ones but fell short of Great Divine Powers.
It was simply that the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi aligned accordingly, boosting standard techniques and heightening their potency.
Authentic Divine Powers genuinely merge and align with the Law’s True Intent.
Clearly, Shenyuan Old Thief hadn’t grasped the Law’s True Intent; he had only blended everyday techniques with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, sparking a fundamental shift.
