Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2599 - 957: Spiritual Cannon Barrage, Residual Realm War (Part 3)

Previously on Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster...
The Songyang Alliance Leader urged a swift conquest of the vast Golden Lion Empire within half a month to advance toward Unicorn Mountain, prompting Zhan Bingtao to deploy the Tianyuan Daoist Sect's powerful Spirit Cannons, which shattered city defenses with relentless barrages. Impressed by the sect's immense resources, Songyang grew anxious about their deeper plans with Master Li Tian. In the Yin Yang Residual Realm, Luo Chen, exhausted from forcing open the heavy bronze door, joined the group as they faced a confronting Golden Lion Empire elder; Purple Robe Marquis and Fan Wujiao prepared to engage, while Master Li Tian instructed defenses to protect Hong Ye Granny's array setup and released shimmering streams from his sleeve.

Certain ones disappeared into nothingness, while others burrowed deep into the earth.

A nearer look revealed them to be distinct gu insects.

"Soul-Chasing Flying Ants?" Meng Shentong exclaimed suddenly, his brows knitting together right away, "No, those Soul-Chasing Flying Ants carry an ominous chill; they lack this kind of vibrant energy."

Master Li Tian dismissed it with a wave, "Let that slide for now. My attention is on the data these gu insects relay, helping us pinpoint the objective."

Meng Shentong let out a light laugh, deciding not to pursue the matter.

Silence enveloped the chamber briefly, broken only by Hong Ye Granny's efforts at the entrance, where she erected an array to block any intrusive cultivators from outside.

Luo Chen cast a few glances her way, yet he refrained from dwelling on it.

The skill of Hong Ye Granny in arrays was genuinely impressive, likely matching his level.

Yet, due to her weaving in certain gu insects within the formation, Luo Chen found little to discern, thus he chose not to scrutinize it further.

His attention turned instead to the Yin Yang Residual Realm surrounding them.

Everywhere the sight stretched, a brilliant golden radiance dominated!

It felt as though the whole realm was cloaked in a sheen of precious gold.

Grand lion sculptures towered across the expansive terrain, appearing almost breathing with life.

"These lions..."

Recollections flooded Luo Chen's thoughts as he delved for the matching memory.

An old scroll detailing the Ancient Desolate held such an account.

Golden Dragon Lions!

To be precise, they aren't fearsome wild creatures.

Nevertheless, their bloodline holds great prestige, born from the union of the Netherworld Drilling Earth Dragon and the Zhengning Lion.

They boast incredibly robust bodily defenses and a singular power to transform foes into gold.

The latter stands out particularly; upon impact, the victim enters a condition akin to stone hardening, termed gilding.

Without prompt deliverance from this plight, shattering leads straight to fatality.

Not even cultivators at Golden Core or Nascent Soul stages can avoid such a fatal end.

"How come this Yin Yang realm hosts so many Golden Dragon Lion statues?"

Luo Chen's forehead creased, a subtle danger prickling at him.

Those vivid golden lion figures seemed truly animated, gazing icily upon their party.

Turning his eyes, he peered a hundred miles distant at the ongoing clash.

Fan Wujiao, the Hidden Sword Tower Master, moved with incredible swiftness, overtaking the Golden Lion Empire ancestor who had just revealed himself.

Sword gu-formed beams of light ensnared that ancestor under his control.

A detailed scrutiny showed those sword gu resembled foliage.

Luo Chen felt taken aback by this.

Sword Cultivators from the Southern Border indeed diverge from others!

The Tianshan True Master had employed Sword Fish Gu for his sword gu before.

Who would have thought Fan Wujiao relied on Sword Leaf Gu.

On their own, they fell short of Sword Fish Gu's might, yet their vast numbers...

In the torrent of blade glows, the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Golden Lion Empire erupted in fury.

"I count as one of the Golden Lion Four Ancestors, a follower of the Youli Divine Monarch from the Gate of Life and Death—do you have the guts to slay me?"

"What stops me?"

A roar of anger echoed, and through the horde of sword beams, a violet gleam darted past.

Liuguang from the Purple Robe Marquis ignited, encircling the Golden Lion Ancestor with a ribbon of purple radiance before yanking it taut.

Slash!

Off came the head in an instant.

A stunned Nascent Soul burst free from the corpse, yet prior to any defense, it drowned in the rushing sword beams.

Swish! Swish!

Countless blade rays returned to the sword box, as the Hidden Sword Tower Master directed his look toward the Purple Robe Marquis, gripping a flexible blade that quivered akin to a spirit serpent tasting the air.

"Impressive Purple Blood Soft Sword!"

The Purple Robe Marquis smiled, "It pales beside your Thousand Leaf Sword Box, old pal."

Observing from a distance, Luo Chen inwardly approved with a nod.

Be it the Thousand Leaf Sword Box brimming with concealed blade leaves or the Purple Blood Soft Sword, each qualified as an extraordinary artifact.

United in battle, these two effortlessly annihilated that mere Early Nascent Soul Golden Lion Ancestor in one swift clash.

Abruptly!

Luo Chen's gaze sharpened.

At his side, Master Li Tian cried out sharply, "Be careful!"

A fearsome golden beam erupted from a far-off hall, streaking straight toward the pair.

Along with it came a bellow of wrath.

"How dare you invade my Yin Yang realm and murder my fourth brother? Death is your fate!"
