Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2619 - 966: Fierce Battle!

"Now, it’s your turn!"

Li Tian Master's eyes scanned across the trio, his features twisted with savage brutality, as though the prior gentleness had been nothing more than a pretense.

The blade in his grasp carved a swift curve, abruptly unleashing three beams of sword light from the serene emptiness, surging directly toward the three.

Facing off against three, each a famed Great Cultivator.

What audacious assurance!

Since Luo Chen stood nearest after his bid to claim the Demonic Mind Gu, he became the initial target.

Confronting the incoming sword beam, he swiftly responded with a sword gesture from his finger.

A rush of crimson Sword Qi followed its path.

Yet, a surprising twist occurred!

The red Sword Qi from Luo Chen inexplicably faded right after departing his form.

Much like the earlier strikes against Master Li Tian from others, it seemed as though an invisible force had wiped it away.

Taken aback, the sword from Master Li Tian had already closed in.

"Ha!"

With a sharp cry, Luo Chen lifted his palms ahead of him, intercepting the sword light directly.

Sizzle...

The noise of fierce scraping echoed, and in an instant, the Protective Qi Armor broke apart completely.

A deeper slash marred the Xuan Chen Armor.

The sword light breached his flesh, and Luo Chen’s sturdy body, comparable to True Devices, got ripped and mangled by this single blow.

A faint stench of rot even wafted through the air.

"It’s Corpse Rot Poison!"

Luo Chen’s face shifted a bit, his frame hurled over a hundred feet back, slamming into the wall by the central tomb.

He examined his limb, his look turning somewhat somber.

How much time had passed?

Besides Qing Shuang, when was the last time someone had wounded his body so directly?

"Is this the technique you said was tailored just for me?"

Close by, booming noises arose from the assaults on Fellow Meng Shentong and Hong Ye Granny.

Master Li Tian drifted forward gradually from the haze and debris, gazing down at Luo Chen with contempt, his longsword angled downward.

"Of what value is a robust physique? This Corpse Rot Poison comes from the Wilderness Giants, refined over decades using hidden arts, crafted precisely to thwart those with mighty bodies!"

Luo Chen eyed his arms, marked by cuts reaching the bone, the remaining Corpse Rot Poison burrowing like maggots in the marrow, resistant to Qi Power or Origin Force.

Though his form was honed to its peak, it merely slowed the toxin’s advance.

If that were all, it wouldn’t have darkened his countenance.

What genuinely alarmed him was the odd event of his prior strike being canceled out.

His arms hung low, as the Xuan Chen Armor began self-repairing, shielding his limbs.

Without glancing back, he inquired, "Fellow Meng, what exactly is a Gu House?"

Earlier, Fellow Meng Shentong had uttered a startled yell and promptly sought to flee.

This indicated he possessed knowledge of Master Li Tian’s tactics.

Over there, Meng Shentong appeared quite roughed up, his barrier slightly cracked before him.

"A Gu House forms a unique structure built from vast swarms of Gu Insects. You can view it as a Gu Dao Treasure."

"Such a technique has been widespread in the South Border for ages, though none have managed to forge one, since building a full and steady Gu House demands deep insight into Gu Insects. Plus, it requires organizing them by traits, kinds, and roles."

"The greater the count, the steadier the Gu House grows, and the loftier the primary Gu’s Rank, the mightier its strength!"

"Every Gu House boasts remarkably distinct abilities, frequently wondrous! For it arises from merging countless Gu Insects!"

A wonder?

Luo Chen’s gaze sharpened, his Red Eyes Golden Pupils activating without notice, probing the area around.

True enough, numerous subtle auras pulsed in sync with a strange rhythm nearby.

After spending days in the South Border, he no longer felt as alien to Gu Insects as at the start.

These creatures don’t appear overly powerful; they resemble variant Demon Beasts or unique Magical Weapons and Treasures.

The real power lies with the cultivators who innovate and harness Gu Insect capabilities, boosting cultivation, enhancing battles, yielding double effects with minimal effort.

To speak plainly, a Fourth-Tier Gu Insect coveted by countless Lower Order Cultivators equates to no more than an Ascendant Grade Magic Item or standard True Device caliber.

However, a Gu House involves not just one or two Fourth-Tier Gu Insects.

The masses of low and mid-tier Gu Insects reach hundreds, thousands, beyond counting!

"Master Li Tian, truly deserving of his title as the top Gu Refiner in the South Border!"

While voicing praise, Luo Chen’s form quivered faintly, the Xuan Chen Armor mending the gashes on its own, the Protective Qi Armor rising naturally.

Furthermore, above his crown, the Ping Mountain Crown shone with brilliant glow, draping a veil of earthy yellow light over him.

Master Li Tian watched this unfold without hindering or meddling, instead showing a touch of regard.

"Luo Chen of the Alchemy Sect bears another title, Demon Slayer True Master, showcasing his immense Combat Power. And now, his skill in battling enemies proves truly priceless."

Luo Chen questioned coldly, "Thus, your Gu House’s unique ability is to neutralize our strikes?"

Master Li Tian offered no denial, affirming with a nod: "Correct, this Wind-Ripple Pavilion drew from my hard-gathered three thousand two hundred and seventy varieties of Gu Insects, representing my lifetime’s fortune and labor. Any cultivator inside it sees their assaults dissolve on their own, like waves smoothed by ripples. But I face no such hindrance, acting freely!"

At these words, Meng Shentong’s complexion drained to pallor.

Hong Ye Granny, still battling the Corpse Rot Poison, looked even more as if attending a dirge.
