Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2669 - 984: Have You Ever Seen Me at My Peak? (Part 2)

After prolonged combat, frustration and impatience began to surface on Qing Shuang's face.

Without those severe wounds and the shackles of the Jikong Flower, how could they ever hope to rival her in peak condition?

Clang!

With her hand lifted, Qing Shuang coldly blocked the strike from the Crescent Zen Staff.

The Sleeve Universe proved ineffective, the Void Escape Divine Technique was sealed off, and even her formidable physique was held down by Ci En along with the Five Directions Sea of Suffering Array.

Did they truly believe this alone could seize her?

Disregarding the Sumeru Bowl descending from above, Qing Shuang started weaving hand seals.

The instant those familiar gestures emerged, Luo Chen's eyelid flickered.

He advanced forward.

Wu Changge kept his eyes locked on him; upon noticing that step, he yelled out involuntarily, "Friend Luo, don't act rashly!"

Luo Chen shot him a steady glance, "You mentioned that at my peak, you'd have a thirty percent shot at victory. But have you witnessed my peak form?"

Wu Changge froze for a moment under that gaze.

It felt like gazing at moonlit reflections or flowers in a mirror.

In his stupor, Luo Chen had already brushed past him.

Inside the grand formation.

A dark rift abruptly tore open and shot skyward.

The Purple Gold Sumeru Bowl, which had been dominating every direction, cleaved apart the second it met the dark fissure.

Spotting the opening, Qing Shuang rocketed upward.

Right then, a brilliant golden fist hammered down, bearing a subtle "卍" mark.

Suddenly!

"Snap!"

A palm seized the enormous fist, enduring the relentless golden glow of the "卍" as it battered the gripper, yet the figure held firm without retreating.

Ci En's hair and beard whipped wildly, channeling his full Gang Qi to batter away the barrier.

Eyes bulging, he bellowed, "Luo Chen, are you really this stubborn?"

Whoosh!

His robes billowed in the gale as crimson radiance erupted from Luo Chen, steadily overwhelming the "卍"'s golden shine.

Calmly, he declared, "Master, you're the one trapped in your own illusions!"

Then, he hoisted his arm aloft and smashed it downward with force.

"Roar!"

A blazing dragon plunged from the highest heavens.

Ci En bore the brunt and hastily pulled back.

Grasping the moment, Luo Chen snatched Qing Shuang—his sharp eyes detecting the array's vulnerability—and whisked away into the air.

As they broke free, a thunderous explosion rocked the scene.

Boom!

The Five Directions Sea of Suffering Array, which had tormented Qing Shuang and bogged her down, crumbled instantly.

Five furious silhouettes exploded outward, hot on the heels of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Confronted by their fierce chase, Luo Chen let out a heavy sigh.

His hands flashed through gestures, manifesting a spell in a flash.

Next to him, Qing Shuang had regained her strength and likewise shaped seals.

The instant after!

Scree!

A distinctive avian screech resounded everywhere.

Crimson flames roared while verdant beams sliced through.

Luo Chen observed with mild astonishment as the dual spells launched together.

A Fire Phoenix—his signature Fire Phoenix Burning Technique.

An Azure Phoenix, unleashed by Qing Shuang.

Now, they synced perfectly in rhythm and vibe, weaving together seamlessly, hurtling across the void toward the five... wait, counting Wu Changge made six pursuers.

In the symphony of Luan Feng harmony, Master Ci Hai's body burst apart outright.

Ci En suffered gravely too; his Great Vajra Realm Leakless Golden Body withered rapidly.

The remaining trio dodged the initial blast but got hurled hundreds of zhang back.

Lucky Wu Changge fanned away the lingering force with his feather fan.

With the chaos cleared, staring at the vacant sky, alarm flooded his features.

"Alchemy Sect Luo Chen, utterly fearsome!"

...

"I never thought you could wield techniques?"

"Ridiculous, I pursue the pure Qi Refinement path—how else could I grasp the True Meaning of Space Law?"

"Then why haven't I seen you deploy techniques in fights before?"

"Techniques are sluggish; seal-forming drags more than raw combat. Plus, the Cyan Simurgh Sky Destruction Technique guzzles Qi Power—no call for it usually."

Through their back-and-forth, Luo Chen picked up the name of Qing Shuang's prior spell.

Cyan Simurgh Sky Destruction!

Not quite a Divine Power, yet its power spanned hugely with broad reach, matching his perfected Fire Phoenix Scorches the Plain.

Curiously, in that instant, an unspoken sync let them unleash spells as one.

The Fire Phoenix and Azure Phoenix fused into harmony, birthing a strike whose might rivaled Divine Power!

A single blow crippled Ci En's Great Vajra Physique, obliterated Ci Hai's form, and battered the rest severely.

And this came while both were wounded, Qi Power lacking for full execution.

At true peaks, channeling max potency into this combo, the devastation would be...

"Was that your innate demon technique?" Luo Chen inquired.

Qing Shuang stayed quiet; her already ashen skin grew deathlier after back-to-back clashes.

She merely fixed her gaze on Luo Chen, murmuring softly, "Why did you rescue me?"

Luo Chen replied matter-of-factly, "Your prohibition binds me; what if it drags me under when you perish?"

Qing Shuang shook her head, "Given your insight into my Void Escape Divine Technique's Space Prohibition, those can't claim your life."

Luo Chen chuckled softly, "But the Life and Death Gu ignores such limits!"

At "Life and Death Gu"'s mention, Qing Shuang went still.

Back in Sand Trap Valley Cave, mutual prohibitions, Dao Oaths, and the Fourth Order Life and Death Gu tied them.

Thus, their fates intertwined truly, like grasshoppers tied to one strand.

So, compulsion drove his move?

Noting her quiet, Luo Chen held back more words, turning his thoughts to another issue.
