Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2663 - 982: Ceasefire and Cooperation to Defeat the Enemy_2

However, once this aura attained a specific intensity, it refused to progress any more.

Luo Chen lifted his head; even though his eyes stayed shut, it felt like he was gazing straight at Qing Shuang.

"With the Gu Insect already implanted, and prohibitions plus an Oath of Dao binding us, why not assist one another?"

Qing Shuang stayed quiet.

Luo Chen let out a helpless sigh and spoke, "Day Sky Palace Master, this area is unknown to us, where Human Clan Nascent Souls and Fourth Order Demon Emperors keep showing up. Do we really need to fight enemies in these damaged bodies next time? Help me out, and I’ll clear away the hidden threats I placed on you."

"Hmph!"

Qing Shuang gave a cold snort and stepped close to Luo Chen, extending her right hand from afar.

Right away, the peculiar Qi Power hovering around Luo Chen’s body got pulled out little by little.

"Hoo..."

Sensing everything happening, Luo Chen exhaled deeply in relief.

Ever since clashing with Qing Shuang, each of her strikes had deposited a bizarre, mighty Qi Power on him, blocking any body repairs.

That technique chopping off his left arm was especially tough—not even his perfected Slaying Dragon Technique managed to erase the leftover Qi Power.

What a genuine pain!

In this fight, Luo Chen learned that Blood and Flesh Rebirth talent wasn’t just pointless against ruinous blows or too much self-drain, but could get severely hampered by certain weird tactics too.

The moment the body’s limit vanished, Luo Chen’s healing rate surged dramatically.

He pulled the earlier-cut hand from his storage ring, fitted it back in place with a twist, circulated Origin Force, and restored it flawlessly like brand new, as his other lingering injuries started mending bit by bit.

After a quick adjustment, Luo Chen slowly parted his eyes.

Gazing at the woman who kept her silence, he offered a wry smile.

"If it’s no bother, come nearer!"

Qing Shuang nibbled her lip, pausing in doubt.

Luo Chen shrugged. "No other way—I can’t gather much Qi Power quickly. You need to get closer for me to aid you."

Qing Shuang’s gaze shifted around, yet she finally approached Luo Chen and settled down cross-legged.

Luo Chen’s mind shifted.

Whish, whish, whish, whish, whish!

Suddenly, five beams of light burst from her body.

Those were the Five Elements Suppressing Law Cones!

Beyond that, Luo Chen stretched his palm over Qing Shuang’s head, applying a drawing force.

Qing Shuang shuddered lightly, yet allowed him to proceed.

A golden radiance gradually surfaced from the Heavenly Spirit Cover.

As this unfolded, Luo Chen’s Divine Consciousness spread wide, at last picking up something strange.

An odd gray glow clung tightly to her Sea of Consciousness.

This gray glow had nullified Luo Chen’s Soul Weaving Needle and all sorts of illusion soul methods on Qing Shuang.

A name escaped his mouth.

"Divine Soul Defense Spiritual Treasure!"

With the Five Elements Suppressing Law Cones and Soul Weaving Needle extracted, Qing Shuang looked far more at ease herself.

Her face showed mixed feelings as she said, "This is the Nether Soul Pearl, a Spiritual Treasure Rank item that shields the Divine Soul by feeding it from the physical body’s spirit. Stronger flesh means tougher protection. Fighting you non-stop weakened my body, letting your golden needle sink further in."

Luo Chen felt utter astonishment—a treasure like this actually existed?

But right then, he dimly spotted a familiar refining pattern in the Spiritual Treasure.

"This Spiritual Treasure wasn’t made by you or Qi Xia Emperor, right?"

"You figured it out?" Qing Shuang shot back.

Luo Chen paused briefly before naming it, "Refining Heaven Demon Monarch?"

Qing Shuang nodded. "Correct, that Demon Monarch. In the clash with my elder sister, all Spiritual Treasures got deployed; sister wrecked most of them, while the Nirvana Sacred Fire gravely injured this Nether Soul Pearl. She claimed it afterward, gave it a light refining, and handed it over to me. It started slowly regaining strength only after I nurtured it from young."

Luo Chen blew out stale qi, confirming his suspicions inwardly.

He’d picked up old tales from the Refining Heaven Cauldron Spirit back in Ming Zhao Heaven Pill Hall.

Refining Heaven Demon Monarch forged many Spiritual Treasures over his days, Nether Soul Pearl among them.

Even as a Spiritual Treasure, its abilities and worth rivaled top heirloom items.

Regrettably, the bout with Qi Xia Emperor shattered all five Spiritual Treasures.

Who’d have thought one survived in Qi Xia Emperor’s hands.

Luo Chen eyed Qing Shuang with faint jealousy.

Mastering Space Law’s essence, forging Divine Beast Body, her attacks were matchless already—now backed by a Divine Soul Defense Spiritual Treasure.

Thus, she had virtually no flaws.

Little surprise she held fame as number one below Divine Transformation.

Guarded by Nether Soul Pearl, typical Divine Transformation experts struggled to breach her Divine Soul!

Shaking his head, Luo Chen began extracting the residual toxins from Qing Shuang.

This was the "Mixed Poison" he’d brewed after mastering Hundred Poison Body Refining Technique.

Luo Chen hadn’t named it yet, though its might outdid Master Li Tian’s Corpse Rot Poison.

Thanks to this Mixed Poison, he’d steadily eroded Qing Shuang’s power amid the battle.

As Luo Chen worked, the Mixed Poison detached from Qing Shuang’s form and got drawn back into him.

With the dark blue tint fading from her skin, her injuries healed up, and the lost leg regrew from within outward.

Observing Luo Chen carefully purging the poison, she wavered briefly but held her tongue.

Luo Chen caught on, grinned, and remarked, "Whatever’s on your mind, speak up."

Qing Shuang parted her lips, then said softly, "That final sword move of yours packed real power!"

Luo Chen laughed softly. "Your technique was no slouch either."

Qing Shuang scrunched her nose. "Without refining the Jikong Flower holding back full strength, that strike could’ve hit even harder!"
