Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2587 - 952: Unlucky Jiuling Yuanjun, Extreme Luo Chen

War erupts anew in the Eastern Wasteland!

No one found this shocking; it was entirely foreseeable.

The Demon Clan had maintained forces across the Six Realms of the Far East for countless years. Amid their endless tensions, clashes were bound to happen, eventually exploding into full chaos.

The trigger that reignited the flames of war caught Luo Chen off guard.

[Great Demon Qing Shuang unleashes her fury, razes the Five Elements Divine Sect, slaughters thousands of cultivators, scorns the might of the Human Clan, while the Tianyuan Daoist Sect rallies the masses in righteous rebellion.]

"The Qing Shuang Demon Emperor demolished the Five Elements Divine Sect?"

Upon reading those words, Luo Chen's head spun in disbelief.

This echoed the reports he'd once read about the Qing Shuang Demon Emperor wiping out the Hehuan Sect in the North Sea.

Times have changed since then, though, and Luo Chen knew full well that he and Shenyuan had been the ones to bring down the Five Elements Divine Sect.

The Purple Robe Marquis, standing nearby, let out a mocking snort. "Have a good read. The Zombie Alliance gathers tons of intel, but it's up to us to sift truth from lies. Take the fall of the Five Elements Divine Sect—it wasn't Qing Shuang's work, but the deed of a supreme powerhouse from the Eastern Wasteland called Luo Chen, as confirmed by solid reports from my Purple Blood Sect."

"A supreme powerhouse of the Eastern Wasteland, Luo Chen?" Luo Chen questioned uncertainly.

The Purple Robe Marquis gave a firm nod. "That's right, a figure on par with Master Li Tian in the Refining Dao Grandmaster Realm. Whispers say he harbored old grudges against the Five Elements Divine Sect and burst back onto the scene after years in hiding, utterly crushing it."

Listening to tales of his own exploits from another's mouth left Luo Chen feeling oddly uncomfortable for a moment.

A mix of embarrassment and a strange sense of triumph.

The Purple Robe Marquis went on, "Sure, it was truly the work of Luo Chen from the Alchemy Sect, but only a handful caught sight of him in action. The Five Elements Divine Sect, a premier Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect in the Eastern Wasteland, needed to offer some justification to the world for vanishing so abruptly. As the Tianyuan Daoist Sect stepped into the Eastern Wasteland, they struggled without a pretext to assert dominance. So they pinned it on the Demon Clan, fanning the flames of public outrage to ignite a total war against the East Desolate Demon Clan!"

Public outrage?

Indeed, anger had every right to boil over.

Nearly two centuries of Human-Demon conflict in the Eastern Wasteland had wiped out numerous sects and lineages.

With peace just settling in, the Demon Clan stirred up trouble once more—who wouldn't tremble in fear and seethe with rage?

Particularly that Qing Shuang Demon Emperor, infamous for invading human lands and mercilessly obliterating sects.

Once the Tianyuan Daoist Sect made the claim, all the powers in the Eastern Wasteland swallowed it whole.

Yet, considering Qing Shuang's distant, icy demeanor combined with her deep-seated grudge-holding, this affair might not end so simply!

Luo Chen pressed his lips together and asked about what came next.

The Purple Robe Marquis gave a casual shrug. "What happens after that? Nothing but a massive clash, of course. As far as I hear, the Qing Shuang Demon Emperor skipped denying the false accusations from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect and struck back with savage force. She not only crushed the freshly emerged Jiuling Yuanjun in battle but pursued him across hundreds of thousands of miles, cut down the Nascent Soul from the East Sun Sect, wounded a key Tianyuan expert severely, and razed outposts of the God Destruction Talisman, East Sun, and Xu Huang sects."

Finally, he gestured toward the Jade Slip.

"It's all noted down there too. Give it a thorough check."

"Hmm."

Luo Chen murmured in acknowledgment, his eyes swiftly gliding over the rest of the text.

As anticipated, the Jade Slip captured all the verified details with precision.

Finishing his quick review, Luo Chen couldn't help but admire how feats like these fit that woman Qing Shuang to a tee.

Splash mud on my name, and I won't bother defending myself.

But make me fulfill your lies, and you better not rue the day.

Accuse me of toppling sects, and I'll oblige by actually toppling some for all to witness.

Regrettably, his ally Jiuling Yuanjun drew the short straw this time.

Following the epic showdown in the Medicine King Realm, he'd secluded himself to mend his wounds.

Once he healed at last—and even turned misfortune into fortune by breaking through to Late Stage Nascent Soul, earning his status as a genuine Great Cultivator—he ran straight into the world's most unyielding peak powerhouse right after coming out.

I bet he's feeling utterly exasperated!

"Surviving unscathed is victory enough; no harm done makes it even sweeter."

The reports showed Jiuling Yuanjun escaping severe wounds, just bested by the Qing Shuang Demon Emperor.

Moving past that section, Luo Chen sank into profound contemplation.

Restarting the war made perfect sense.

Yet the faction kicking it off was a total shock.

Was the Tianyuan Daoist Sect truly behind it?

Wouldn't the Cangwu Mountain faction have been the more likely instigator?

The Qi Xia Emperor's demolition of the Dark Abyss Sect alone sufficed to put the other Holy Lands of the Mountain Sea Realm on high alert.

It was an astonishing display of solo conquest over an entire Holy Land!

Doesn't the Tianyuan Daoist Sect dread facing the same fate?

Or perhaps they're testing the waters?

Testing if the Qi Xia Emperor retains the power post-Dark Abyss Sect to unleash more such devastations?

Testing if, despite the Heavenly Tribulation's pressure, the Qi Xia Emperor can still strike?

Placing himself among the Holy Lands' elite, Luo Chen dimly grasped the Tianyuan Daoist Sect's motives.

As a supreme power in the realm, but sensing lingering dangers to their supremacy, how could they possibly rest easy?

One straightforward test paves the way for bolder moves.

Besides, the risk in this test remains minimal.

The fight unfolds in the Eastern Wasteland, treating native cultivators as pawns on a distant gameboard. Should the Qi Xia Emperor rage and intervene, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect could simply pull back in the turmoil and observe from afar.

The real peril lies in misjudging the Qi Xia Emperor's ferocious resolve!

Luo Chen let out a heavy sigh, shifting his attention to the ensuing reports.

Intel from the Eastern Wasteland forms only one segment.

Additional entries cover pivotal happenings in the North Sea, West Desert, and even the South Border's regional stirrings.

Amid these key occurrences, Luo Chen noted the Tianyuan Daoist Sect appearing with striking regularity.
