Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2537 - 932: Parting of Life and Death, Clouds Scattering and Rain Falling

As True Master Shenyuan's physical form shattered, his Nascent Soul underwent a compelled shift into a divine state.

Innumerable strands of Heaven and Earth primordial Qi drew near, swirling into a massive surge that rushed straight toward him.

The surge swept through areas where the void quaked, the Earth Dragon flipped in unrest, and formations binding Spirit Veins shattered entirely, drawing in vast quantities of refined Spirit Qi.

High up in the Nine Heavens, a fierce wind erupted without warning, ripping apart layer upon layer of clouds.

Within this chaos, the Frost Eagle Shuttle pitched and rolled like a tiny vessel lost in a raging sea, buffeted wildly by the storm.

Deep inside the shuttle, Cang Long's complexion drained of color, her gaze brimming with utter incredulity.

Was it possible for a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to unleash such a spectacle?

She had only recently formed her Nascent Soul, with her cultivation base still unsteady, leaving her knowledge of this realm quite shallow.

Yet even Elder Fu, seasoned for years in the Nascent Soul Stage, mirrored her astonishment.

"Madness!"

"Shenyuan has lost his mind!"

"Even with the body ruined and the Nascent Soul fractured, Ghost Cultivation remains an option. By wildly drawing in Heaven and Earth primordial Qi, his Nascent Soul risks full merger with the cosmos, sending his Divine Soul back to oblivion. Forget Ghost Cultivation—the road to reincarnation gets severed too."

Cang Long asked, "What exactly is he after?"

Shenyuan's mindset proved tough for most to grasp.

Take Elder Fu, for instance; despite the toll of advancing age, he harbored no bitterness, save for worries over the sect's shaky prospects ahead.

On a personal level, he accepted death with calm resignation.

But for Shenyuan, yielding quietly to life's close was utterly intolerable!

Those blessed with Spirit Roots in this realm could pursue cultivation.

A lone Spirit Root marks one as Heaven and Earth's favored child, Dual Spirit Roots signal cultivation prodigies, Triple Spirit Roots count as standard, while Quadruple Spirit Roots earn the label of "pseudo Spirit Roots," offering scant hope on the Great Dao journey.

Five Spirit Roots rank even beneath Quadruple!

They get branded as worthless spiritual roots!

From gathering Spirit Qi for practice, smashing through barriers, to hunting down fitting cultivation methods, everything demands several times—or even tens of times—the effort of regular folks!

True Master Shenyuan bore exactly this worthless spiritual root makeup.

Still, through sheer grit with this handicap, he climbed rung by rung to Nascent Soul Realm and lifted a forgotten little sect into a dominant force across the Eastern Wasteland.

Labeling him a genius wouldn't stretch the truth at all!

For someone like that, with Divinity Transformation Realm dangling so close, how could ambition, greed, or obsession fail to ignite? How could they not burn fierce?

To chase it, he plotted endlessly.

Spirit Lands, elixirs, cultivation techniques, secret arts...

He'd grovel before the Divine Transformation Holy Land, scheme in shadows against Luo Chen and the sect's own members, and strike hidden pacts with demon clan powerhouses.

In the end, though, defeat struck him down right at the brink!

Across the whole Mountain Sea Realm, maybe only Luo Chen, sharing that Five Spirit Roots frame, could truly fathom his fixation!

To pierce the Foundation Establishment barrier, Luo Chen delved into countless Foundation Establishment paths: Blood Path, Soul Path, Dan Dao Foundation Establishment...

For the Golden Core breakthrough, he pored over myriad Core Formation secrets time and again, even forging his unique "Dust Origin Technique."

To claim Nascent Soul, the ever-wary Luo Chen braved the Land of Fallen Demons, despite dodging the nearby Golden Core Ruins back in his younger days.

For Five Spirit Roots bearers, each advancement truly tests the limits.

That's why they prize every milestone in cultivation even more dearly.

With no clear road ahead, if just one slim chance lingers, they'll stake their all on it.

Floating clouds won't shroud the sun; the Dao quest demands unyielding resolve, even unto death!

In True Master Shenyuan's frantic, last-stand outburst, Luo Chen glimpsed the raw core of such relentless drive.

His divine sense captured the furious sweep of Heaven and Earth primordial Qi, spanning roughly ten thousand miles and blanketing the full span of Five Elements Divine Sect.

Though this display fell short of a Divinity Transformation powerhouse casually siphoning primordial Qi from four or five vast territories,

it far outstripped what typical Nascent Soul cultivators could muster.

Only perhaps, in Lei Daozi's final moments, channeling the Dark Abyss Sect's grand array, did something similar emerge.

Right then, Luo Chen realized flight was impossible.

This world had him pinned down completely!

At that instant!

True Master Shenyuan's colossal primordial spirit kept expanding, blending deeper into heaven and earth, inching along the road to total absorption.

But across that vast form, hazy visages surfaced.

True Master Lin Mu, Old Ghost Mo Tian, Qi Emei...

And numerous others unfamiliar to Luo Chen.

These visages whispered, fumed, bellowed.

Each splintered awareness, though faint, let True Master Shenyuan fend off the assimilation with heaven and earth just enough.

The huge faces locked stares on Luo Chen, refusing to let the one who'd shoved him toward this doom slip free.

"Luo Chen, now it's your turn!"

A voice rang out, laced with myriad tangled emotions, like a chorus of thousands uttering the words as one.

The sole shared thread: boundless loathing!

Luo Chen halted his flight, ceasing all attempts to flee.

Escape was futile; this ten-thousand-mile stretch had become the foe's turf, the foe's realm.

All he could manage was to confront it head-on!

Magic treasures offered no help!

Spells probably wouldn't sway much either.

Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire could scorch all and drain life force, yet the foe lacked any fleshly shell now.

What of Nirvana Sacred Fire?

After all, he hadn't finished Divine Soul Nirvana via the Nine Tribulations and Three Nirvana, so this fire wouldn't pack much punch against the primordial spirit.

Thus, the last resort remaining was...

As the gigantic primordial spirit barreled toward him, engulfing Luo Chen entirely, he lifted a finger slowly and formed a Dao Seal Gesture.

Bang!
