Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2617 - 965: Can a Human Live Without a Heart?

"Roar!"
A booming roar echoed from high in the heavens.
It reverberated throughout the Yin Yang Tomb, shaking spirits even deeper.
Amidst streaks of lightning and claps of thunder, it nearly shattered the tomb's worn-out formation and crashed into the central chamber.
Master Li Tian suddenly raised his head, a sharp light bursting in his gaze.
With a swift gesture of his hand.
A blue light barrier slowly rose, enveloping him at its core.
This barrier, resembling a steady flowing river, soared upward and instantly hardened, repelling the savage dragon's head from entering.
A sharp scraping noise erupted, highlighting the intense deadlock between them.
Beneath the light barrier, Master Li Tian shouted, "This technique was set up well in advance, not improvised; Luo Chen, you've been scheming from the start!"
Far away, Luo Chen's brows knitted together.
He identified that blue light barrier as the very method that previously halted the Lion phase's strike against Purple Robe Marquis.
He remembered the Lion phase naming it "Glazed Gu."
A Gu bug designed purely for protection?
A ruthless glint crossed Luo Chen’s features, "Without a plan, how could I dare tangle with a sly veteran like you?"
As words left his lips, the mudras on his fingers shifted abruptly.
"Explode!"
The Flame Dragon bellowed, slamming into the barrier with a thunderous impact, causing the immense spirit qi of its form to disintegrate right away.
A tremendous power burst forth without delay.
Crack!
In Master Li Tian’s disbelieving stare, a fissure formed on the blue light barrier.
Through their mental link, the Glazed Gu powering this spell was abruptly slain by the overwhelming force.
"Have I finally misjudged him after all?"
Confronting Luo Chen’s masterful Daoist arts and bold, rapid tactical shifts, Master Li Tian sensed profound alarm.
Still, his expression betrayed nothing.
Observing Luo Chen's approach from afar and the dangerous spatial distortions encircling him, he gave a faint smile.
"You're truly persistent. This old man is occupied with unsealing coffins; why not entertain my subordinates first!"
With a light toss, ten gleaming golden beans, akin to yellow peas, dropped onto the floor.
A cry echoed from the emptiness.
"That's Bean Soldier Gu, watch out, Luo Chen."
No alert was needed, as Luo Chen had already spotted them and acted ahead.
From his mouth, three twisting threads of blue-white True Fire emerged.
In a blink, they burned away three of the sturdiest, most complete golden beans.
Yet the other seven could not be stopped in time.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Breaking sounds filled the vast chamber.
Similar to beans popping under intense heat in a wok.
The instant after, seven forms materialized in view.
All draped in dark robes, each emitting a potent Nascent Soul Realm aura.
The seven split apart, with three targeting Luo Chen and Meng Shentong, while one stayed to protect Master Li Tian, even adding power to bolster the Triple Blood Shackles holding the Flying Yaksha down.
Against the three Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators lunging his way, Luo Chen didn't evade or back off, instead thrusting a fist straight ahead.
"Even Purple Robe Marquis couldn't halt me; you lot dare show off these minor ploys?"
Bam!
One fist connected, qi force radiating outward.
The whole area felt squeezed tight.
The dark robe tore open, exposing the aged, rigid features of the cultivator within as they twisted.
Luo Chen spun mid-air, his iron-hard fists hammering relentlessly.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
Following three solid strikes in a row, Luo Chen’s movement froze briefly.
And those three Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators hurtling at him burst apart, reduced to nothing.
They had no chance to counter, underlining the speed of Luo Chen’s attack.
Though he moved quickly, Meng Shentong kept pace.
His foe employed the Void Concealment Technique outright, evading three adversaries and silently closing in on Master Li Tian.
Right as he prepared to attack, through his shimmering silhouette, Master Li Tian’s derisive chuckle sounded.
"In the end, it's not the true Vacuum Gu from Luo Sect’s legacy; the one you raised yourself is full of weaknesses!"
The dark-robed cultivator beside Master Li Tian crouched down a bit, palms cupping an invisible sphere.
A vortex of air currents sprang up suddenly.
As it swirled fiercely, the vortex ballooned outward rapidly.
The savage pulling force at once exposed Meng Shentong’s outline, hauling him forward inch by inch.
Beneath the raging gusts, the hooded robe's cover slipped, revealing the face underneath.
Seeing that sinister blue-black visage, Meng Shentong shuddered in horror, exclaiming.
"Demon Heart Gu Emperor!"
No!
Not the current Demon Heart Gu Emperor, but one from the elder generation.
Merely transformed by Master Li Tian into a Bean Soldier Gu.
Master Li Tian ignored the resisting Meng Shentong, warily eyeing Luo Chen before focusing on the dark coffin with Daoist incantations.
In the distance.
Luo Chen’s advance came to a sudden stop.
Since three more Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators had encircled him.
It's unclear how Master Li Tian collected so many Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators to serve as materials for his Gu refinements.
Had he not swiftly eliminated those three Bean Soldier Gu on par with the veteran Demon Heart Gu Emperor earlier, things might be far grimmer now.
Even so, the constant delays had afforded Master Li Tian sufficient opportunity to unlock the dark coffin.
Luo Chen eyed Meng Shentong still battling the vortex and quickly decided.
Rather than press on, he pulled back, his shape blurring as he darted to the side.
His hands shifted to a deep blue-black hue, seizing with force.
"Ah..."
A pained wail erupted suddenly.
It came from Hong Ye Granny, the elderly woman held down by a blade.
"Hold on!"
"I’ll remove the sword for you, offering a shot at revenge."
Ignoring Hong Ye Granny’s approval, Luo Chen gripped the sword's handle, disregarding the Corpse Rot Poison's spread and the sizzling azure fumes rising from his hand.
