Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2603 - 959: Total Suppression, Wild Beast Source Blood (2)

Long ago, while forging his Natal Magic Item, the Primordial Chaos Tripod, Tian Yezi deliberately called upon Qing Shuang to manage the space prohibitions, compensating for the existing flaws.

Previously, Luo Chen had executed such a tactic with ease, thanks to his thorough examination and analysis of innate space prohibitions back at Mi Realm Mountain.

As for the possible target of this technique, it's obvious who that is.

Whether it will prove effective against that individual later on remains unclear to Luo Chen.

However, right now, the Nascent Soul Ancestor from the Golden Lion Empire stays silent for the moment.

He kept a calm expression, advancing toward the foe, his gaze releasing a brilliant glow.

"Your name!"

The Golden Lion Second Ancestor gulped nervously and, without thinking, answered, "Kuang Nanzhi, Second Ancestor of the Golden Lion Empire, hailing from the Gate of Life and Death."

"As a cultivator of the Gate of Life and Death, why have you concealed yourself in this realm?"

Kuang Nanzhi responded, "Our sect's ancestor faced issues in his cultivation, which made the Blessing Gu spiral out of control, sinking the Primordial Energy Ocean—a curse emerging from a former blessing."

"What secrets does this realm hold?"

Without pause, Kuang Nanzhi stated, "This spot marks the demise of the Yin Yang Zi Ancestor, holding his extensive Gu Dao research from before death, along with numerous mutated powerful entities. The Yang World was created to contain the formidable force in the Underworld."

"Why did you target me?"

"Divide and conquer..."

Mid-sentence, Kuang Nanzhi's form trembled abruptly, his face twisting in horror.

"Illusion Technique!"

Now within ten zhang, Luo Chen couldn't stop a low groan, a faint unnatural flush crossing his features.

He softly breathed out a stream of foul qi, commending, "Truly deserving of a Holy Land disciple, breaking free from my Mirror Flower, Water Moon so quickly."

Observing this, Kuang Nanzhi's terror deepened.

This foe excelled not just in Magic and Body Double Cultivation but boasted an astonishingly potent Divine Soul.

He had unleashed the illusion while Kuang Nanzhi remained stunned, drawing him in without awareness.

The remark about being 'worthy of a Holy Land disciple' served as both compliment to him and self-praise; even such a figure fell victim unknowingly, highlighting the enemy's formidable Divine Soul alongside his mastery in illusion arts.

Especially noteworthy!

Upon shattering the illusion's hold, though backlash hit hard, the opponent quelled it with ease.

This revealed only a glimpse of the foe's true power.

Such a being surpassed figures like the Purple Robe Marquis, Bai Xuanjun, and the Hidden Sword Tower Master, rivaling Master Li Tian and his peers.

No!

Even those three couldn't reduce him to this pitiful condition.

As Luo Chen closed in, Kuang Nanzhi failed to hide the dread rising in his core, backing away on instinct.

"Misunderstanding!"

"It's all just a misunderstanding!"

Luo Chen offered a faint smile, his eyes scanning the area, lingering briefly on several crimson stains on the earth before pulling back and asking, "Calling forth so many Golden Dragon Lions to waylay me—that's also a misunderstanding?"

Kuang Nanzhi quickly shook his head, "Should you, Lord, forgive my mistakes, then it's purely a misunderstanding."

"A justification—give me one for why a lord should forget a grudge." Luo Chen advanced steadily.

Kuang Nanzhi found himself trapped, restrained by the Space Prohibition.

He swallowed bitterly, mustering bravery as he declared, "In a fight to the death, even if I perish, you'll suffer greatly too."

As he spoke, he lifted an item like a crystal orb.

"This holds the crystal core of the Ancient Desolate Beast Golden Dragon Lion, commanding the Golden Dragon Lion statues across thousands of miles. If you force me, I'll shatter it outright, unleashing thousands of Golden Dragon Lions to rampage under the Yellow Wind Formation's weight—you won't emerge unharmed!"

Luo Chen paused his advance.

He rubbed his jaw, pondering aloud, "What you claim carries weight... but betting on these trivial things?"

Abruptly, Luo Chen dashed forward like a bolt.

His figure blurred and vanished instantly.

Reappearing at the enemy's rear, he unleashed a palm strike.

Bang!

The lingering image faded, exposing Kuang Nanzhi elsewhere.

Furious and startled, he cried out, "Shameless!"

A gush of bright blood escaped his lips uncontrollably.

Though he evaded the full palm blast, a mere brush wounded him.

That slight contact alone ruptured his guard, harming his flesh.

Once a Qi Refiner gets pulled into melee by a Body Refiner, disaster follows.

Luo Chen leisurely lifted his right arm, brushing his ear.

Whoosh!

A stone rod materialized in his grasp, which he clutched firmly.

"Back when you lurked and set the Dragon Lion to surprise me, did 'shameless' cross your mind?"

Kuang Nanzhi flushed with shame, yet facing mortality's edge, he begged, "Grant me mercy, and I'll reveal hidden treasure vaults in the Yin Yang Realm's Yang World. Don't you seek passage via the Death Gate to the Underworld? I hold knowledge of chances there too."

Luo Chen ignored these temptations, swinging the rod leisurely.

His once clumsy staff moves sharpened with each swing.

Noting the foe's apathy, Kuang Nanzhi panicked.

"Let me live, and I'll swear loyalty to you as master!"

"Oh?"

Luo Chen's gaze brightened, the long rod halting mid-swing, his mouth curving slightly.

At this sight, Kuang Nanzhi sensed a spark of hope.

But the following words from the other chilled his soul.

"Too late!"

The instant after!

Space ruptured with a thunderous boom, Luo Chen materializing overhead, crashing down the stone rod!

Kuang Nanzhi braced himself, a tiny inkstone rising to intercept the attack.

Beyond that, his robe inflated into a bubble, his Mana Shield expanding wide.

Still, against this layered barrier, Luo Chen required just one strike.

A world-shaking power burst forth at once!

"Pfft!"

Kuang Nanzhi jolted like struck by thunder, spewing fresh blood he couldn't contain, his body dropping like a rock.

Luo Chen gave chase without mercy, employing Moon Step to reappear at his back, delivering another rod blow.

Boom!

Strike upon strike!

Boom!

A Flying Sword emerged suddenly, yet Luo Chen disregarded it, letting it fly at him.

The Flying Sword pierced the Qi Armor of Xuan Chen Armor, but clashed against the inner layer and ricocheted.

How could a True Device Level Defense Magic Item yield so simply?

Particularly with the foe lacking power for offense.

As the Flying Sword failed, Kuang Nanzhi fought on desperately, shielding himself fully while blood trickled from his lips, firing a ray of light.

Yet before the light neared Luo Chen, flames erupted, reducing it to cinders.

Boom!

Boom!

The Heavenly Stick hammered Kuang Nanzhi relentlessly, his vitality fading with every hit.

When the inkstone shattered and his vestment robe frayed, despair filled Kuang Nanzhi's eyes, swiftly turning to frenzy!

"If you deny me life, you won't escape unscathed either!"

His frail aura flared wildly.

He aimed to detonate his Nascent Soul!

Luo Chen ceased abruptly, hovering in the air.

"Friend, no need for that."

Kuang Nanzhi froze—was this enemy truly dauntless, valuing nothing?

But then, from the side of his vision, five rays of light shot from different directions, breaching his Protective Aura and burrowing inside.

Immediately, he attempted to stir his Qi Power, but it refused to budge.

"What is this?"

"The Five Elements Suppressing Law Cones!"

Luo Chen replied to his final query, then the stone rod descended, pulverizing him into gore.

Not even his Nascent Soul escaped in time, crushed outright.

A torrent of Spirit Qi erupted, whipping up a Spirit Qi storm.

Luo Chen stood firm amid it, waving to call forth several objects.

This Kuang Nanzhi wasn't the simplest Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator he'd slain.

Yet the one he'd dominated most utterly, leaving him utterly helpless start to finish.

"He only reached Nascent Soul Middle Stage."

Luo Chen shook his head, the Heavenly Stick contracting in his hold, shifting to a white needle that vanished into his ear.

He then strode gracefully beyond the Spirit Qi storm's reach.

Rather than depart at once, he summoned the scattered red fluids from the ground casually.

The quantity was small; each Golden Dragon Lion statue yielded merely a handspan of liquid.

After clearing away the grit, Luo Chen pondered deeply.

For an instant, he whispered doubtfully, "Could these be thinned Wild Beast Source Blood?"

A recollection stirred in his thoughts.

He'd obtained a Demonheart Tree from the Land of Fallen Demons, a plant of supreme rank and notoriously hard to grow, stagnant for over a century without bloom or fruit.

Sang Jinghe had noted, following extensive study, its need for Ancient Demon Wilderness Blood Essence to thrive further.

The remnants from these Golden Dragon Lions, though diluted and of milder potency, stemmed from exalted origins, shaped into Dragon Lion statues via unique South Border techniques.

Gathering sufficient Golden Dragon Lion Source Blood—might that nurture the Demonheart Tree?

"Seems like reuniting with Master Li Tian and the rest will have to wait,"

Luo Chen smiled faintly, his Divine Consciousness extending to erase the Divine Consciousness Imprint on Kuang Nanzhi’s storage ring.

Next, the Dragon Lion Crystal Core floated before him.
