Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2600 - 958: Yellow Wind Array, Awakening of the Dragon Lion

“You deserve to die!”

A rage-filled shout echoed through the air, bringing forth a massive wave of golden radiance.

That radiance proved razor-sharp, harboring boundless murderous aura inside it.

Upon closer inspection, one could see innumerable tiny specks of sand blanketing the heavens and the ground, filling observers with a sense of hopelessness.

Spotting this, the Hidden Sword Tower Master's expression shifted a bit, as hordes of Sword Leaf Gu burst from the sword case on his back, assembling a protective Sword Qi shield ahead.

Yet, the moment it made contact, numerous sword leaves developed small punctures, resembling damage from burrowing bugs.

The Purple Robe Marquis found himself in dire straits too, shifting into violet glow and darting about frantically.

However, beneath the golden radiance, the violet glow grew fainter by the second, nearly collapsing.

Right then.

A azure barrier emerged from the ground.

Resembling a soft flowing river, it surged past the pair and ascended skyward, abruptly turning immensely resilient, blocking the torrent of golden radiance beyond.

Before a grand palace entrance, the elder spotted earlier by the Golden Lion Emperor, at the sight of this azure barrier, exclaimed: “Glazed Gu!”

Next rang out a voice brimming with intense fury:

“Master Li Tian, you’ve gone too far!”

Standing by the bronze entrance, Master Li Tian burst into laughter: “Lion Phase, what’s got you so worked up?”

Upon hearing that, the elder known as Lion Phase chuckled in bitter anger: “You forced your way into the Yin Yang Realm, slaughtered my fellow disciples, and now wonder why I’m furious?”

Master Li Tian responded with composure: “If you willingly reveal the Death Gate’s whereabouts, I’ll let you all live.”

Death Gate!

At those words, Lion Phase fell silent.

Master Li Tian’s brow furrowed, and at that instant, the Hidden Sword Tower Master and Purple Robe Marquis made their way back.

“You alright?” Master Li Tian inquired offhandedly.

The Purple Robe Marquis let out a relieved breath, “I’m fine, though I never imagined the fabled Master Nuxiang possessed such formidable strength.”

Master Nuxiang served as Lion Phase’s moniker. In the Southern Border Cultivation World, far more recognized him by that title than his actual name.

The Hidden Sword Tower Master, Fan Wujiao, felt a profound stir within, particularly as he gazed at the minuscule perforations on his sword leaves, a pained expression creeping unbidden onto his features.

He had poured immense resources and labor into refining these Sword Leaf Gu.

Astonishingly, a single clash had ruined ten to twenty percent of them.

Master Li Tian stated plainly: “Lion Phase isn’t just a renowned Great Cultivator with years of fame; he was once a True Disciple of the Holy Land. It’s no surprise he overpowers you so effortlessly.”

The Purple Robe Marquis and Fan Wujiao shared a look, momentarily at a loss for words.

Were all Holy Land disciples this formidable?

They reflected inwardly that, back in the wider world, they reigned supreme, excelling among their generation.

Yet in terms of cultivation level or techniques, Lion Phase utterly dominated them.

Such a disparity...

“Alright!”

Abruptly, a voice laced with relief sounded from the rear.

All turned to see Hong Ye Granny emerging from the formation’s glow.

She released a puff of impure Qi, her countenance displaying weariness, yet predominantly delight.

“The array of the Death Gate truly stands apart from those in the external realms; even a short examination brought me substantial gains.”

Master Li Tian paid no heed to that, inquiring straightaway: “Is the barrier finished?”

Barrier?

The term made Luo Chen’s mind twitch.

Prohibitions, arrays, barriers—these formed a sequential progression.

Prohibitions formed the base for arrays, while barriers represented the advanced evolution of arrays.

Vast numbers of prohibitions combined to create an array, and arrays cleverly organized could birth a barrier.

The last type remained rare, owing to their intricate construction, rendering them unusable in combat; they typically appeared only within major sects.

Ah, there existed one more case.

Numerous ruins from ancient cultivators arose when lifetime arrays merged over time with local heavenly formations and terrain features, spontaneously evolving into barriers.

Thus, secret realms frequently carried the suffix “realm.”

Luo Chen had earlier thought Hong Ye Granny was merely deploying an array; now, surveying the surroundings, he saw it was evidently a minor barrier, fully encasing the bronze gate’s vicinity within a three-mile radius.

Hong Ye Granny chuckled: “That Void Realm you provided, I’ve pored over it for decades. Though the deadline presses, I’ve fulfilled my duty. Thanks to this Void Realm, no outsiders can breach it, nor can those inside flee!”

Hearing this, Master Li Tian’s face lit up with satisfaction.

“Now, the Yin Yang Residual Realm lies entirely under our control. Provided you help unlock the Death Gate and access the underworld where the mighty Yin Yang Zi met his end, our expedition counts as a triumph!”

At these words, Meng Shentong frowned in annoyance: “Why all this hassle?”

Luo Chen shared the sentiment, deeming it overly convoluted.

The Life Realm inside already made sense, but what of this underworld in the Yin Yang Realm?

On the flip side, perhaps their current spot constituted the Yang World?

Master Li Tian’s response verified Luo Chen’s suspicion.

“A Great Power tangled in death carries such profound grudge. Without parting the dual realms and severing inner from outer connections, do you truly believe the Death Gate’s cultivators can contain the lingering will of that Great Power?” Master Li Tian shot back.

Meng Shentong had nothing to say.

“Onward! Once I delve into the underworld and secure the Gu Formula, our mission concludes in success. The debts you owe me shall be cleared!”

Master Li Tian gestured dismissively and marched ahead.

Meng Shentong queried with curiosity: “You know the way?”

Master Li Tian answered assuredly: “Of course I don’t; back when I stumbled into the Yin Yang Realm by chance, I landed straight in the underworld. However, the Chasing Yin Flying Ants I’ve carefully altered have picked up certain clues, now pinpointing three potential spots for the Death Gate.”

Meng Shentong grasped it instantly.

He’d noticed before that those flying ants resembled Soul-Chasing Flying Ants.

No wonder—they’d been reworked by this sly elder.

Chasing Yin?

A fitting name!

As the group readied to depart, the ground abruptly started trembling.
