Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2656 - 980

It is indeed the Nirvana Sacred Fire that burns with such golden intensity.

Luo Chen had no other choice but to resort to this flame as his final trump card.

His escape from the chaotic Netherworld Sea had already drained his Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire once before.

This left his Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit in a severely weakened state once again.

Against a formidable opponent like Qing Shuang—a top-tier expert hovering just below the Divine Transformation stage—standard combat arts were useless; he had to leverage overwhelming force.

Though the Nirvana Sacred Fire is yet in its infancy, its inherent potential is immense, and it harmonizes perfectly with Luo Chen’s Fire Spirit Body.

However, that alone would not be enough to turn the tide.

Luo Chen still held another secret up his sleeve!

Screech!

With a shrill, piercing cry, a gargantuan Fire Phoenix erupted into the heavens.

The majestic Cyan Simurgh was filled with internal rage, yet her eyes remained glacial as she fearlessly flapped her wings against the onslaught.

Swoosh!

In a single stroke, the Fire Phoenix was sliced in half.

After all, the vessel for the Nirvana Sacred Fire was merely a standard Fourth Order Technique.

Yet, in the very next instant, Qing Shuang’s cold expression shifted.

The two severed halves of the phoenix did not dissipate; instead, they mysteriously reformed, losing none of their power as they circled her from both flanks.

Qing Shuang emitted a shallow groan, her wings shuddering in unison.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two colossal Wind Blades, rivaling the power of the Fire Phoenix, tore through the atmosphere.

As they collided with the two phoenixes, they cleaved them into halves once more.

That should have been the end of it, surely?

To her shock, the four fragments of the phoenix mysteriously coalesced and expanded, returning to their original, complete state.

Suddenly, four phoenixes were soaring across the sky!

The ambient light, already distorted, flickered wildly amidst the swirling dance of the four enormous birds, making Luo Chen’s distant, small figure appear hauntingly ethereal.

Qing Shuang was no fool; witnessing this strange spectacle, she quickly discerned the truth.

Her piercing gaze abruptly dropped toward the vast, endless desert beneath them.

"Your strength is being drawn from this very land!"

In the distance, Luo Chen remained frozen, his hands locked in a precise seal gesture.

The immense fire energy residing in the Earth Vein was being siphoned by him and infused directly into the Fire Phoenix Scorches the Plain technique.

Moreover, he was pulling threads of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from the void, creating an inexhaustible stream of power to fuel his assault.

In the past, such a feat would have been impossible for him.

However, after unlocking the mysteries of the Fire Origin, he possessed the requisite strength to bolster his ordinary techniques with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Furthermore, his eight-year seclusion at Soulbreak Cliff had forged his Divine Soul to its absolute peak.

Thus, he was able to manifest an incredible ability that challenged even the might of true Divine Power.

But four phoenixes in the sky were not the limit!

Luo Chen let out a low, guttural shout, his fingers deftly weaving another seal; faintly, four more Fire Phoenixes began to take shape.

Each one carried the weight of a full-force strike from Luo Chen.

If he managed to stabilize all eight at once...

He peered toward the elegant, majestic Cyan Simurgh aloft and spoke in a booming, deep voice: "Since we have managed to escape the Netherworld Sea, continuing this slaughter is meaningless. Why don't we bring this to a close here?"

"Are you consumed by fear?" Despite being surrounded by four solid and four illusory Fire Phoenixes, Qing Shuang showed no terror, offering only a sharp, sarcastic retort.

Luo Chen twisted his lips into a grimace. "After pushing you to this point, do you honestly believe I am afraid?"

"If you aren't terrified, why negotiate a ceasefire?" Qing Shuang fired back, answering herself immediately: "You are merely calculating the costs! You are the type of person who weighs every step of existence, constantly searching for some hidden meaning in a clash of blades."

Luo Chen laughed with a heavy, mirthless sound. "And what value is there in a battle that lacks purpose?"

Qing Shuang screeched in response, "To me, my sister represents all the purpose I need, and you are the butcher who harmed her!"

Without another word, she disregarded the ring of eight Fire Phoenixes and transformed into a streak of light, rushing headlong at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen’s countenance darkened, a flicker of ruthless intent crossing his eyes.

He shifted his seal gesture instantly!

Rumble!

The first four Fire Phoenixes detonated in sequence, unleashing a tidal wave of Spirit Qi and a surging golden inferno that washed across the plains.

Qing Shuang, undeterred by the destruction, charged forward with reckless abandonment.

Swoosh!

Trailing ribbons of golden flame, Qing Shuang burst from the inferno, ignoring the four remaining phoenixes in pursuit as she drove her dual claws toward Luo Chen’s tiny form.

A single strike!

Boom!

The earth quaked violently as the desert sands buckled beneath them.

The ground for miles around plunged downward by a hundred feet in a mere heartbeat.

The four pursuing Fire Phoenixes plunged deep into the massive crater.

"Roar!"

An enraged, primal cry bellowed out.

Rising from the wreckage was a form nearly a thousand feet tall, wielding deadly, sharpened claws.

Luo Chen had revealed his true combat form!

Though it still bore a resemblance to his human face, his skin had hardened into the color of dark ironstone, his features twisted with fangs, reminiscent of a legendary Yaksha.

Below, the giant seized the majestic Cyan Simurgh tightly as the four remaining Fire Phoenixes slammed into her with catastrophic force.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Successive explosions rocked the desert, sending a mushroom cloud rising into the air while shockwaves scoured the land for hundreds of miles.

Caught in the turbulent winds, the two combatants were violently flung in opposite directions.

Bang!

Luo Chen was launched backward for dozens of miles, his massive frame carving a deep path through the desert like a plow.

Wherever he tumbled, dunes were leveled and mountain ridges shattered in his wake.

When he finally managed to halt, the giant grunted, and then... splurt!

In an instant, his immense form shriveled, reverting to his normal height of eight feet.

A wave of blood surged upward and was violently expelled as Luo Chen staggered and collapsed onto his knees.

His dark hair, once held by the Ping Mountain Crown, had come undone, whipping around him like silver vipers in the gale.

His robes had long since been shredded to ribbons by the force of his transformation.
