Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2688 - 992: Demoness Mo Luo Battles the World (Part 2)

Xiao Yan parted his lips, but no words escaped him.

"Moreover..."

Envy filled the eyes of the Great Brahma Prince as they landed on the Moonlight Glaze Hall.

"Master Xuan Du stands on the verge of entering the Arhat realm; the Hanging Temple shall gain its second True Buddha!"

Right then, among the spectators, not only Xiao Yan and his companions remained undecided.

The later arrivals felt the same hesitation.

Yet after careful thought, nobody moved to intervene.

True enough, most Immortal Cultivators in the West Desert follow Buddhism, yet both combatants here are genuine disciples of the Buddhist Sect. Aiding either side would be improper, leaving them to merely observe the battle's conclusion powerless.

Qing Shuang's entry swiftly tilted the balance toward victory.

A desperate wail drew all eyes, sending shivers through the crowd.

Deep in the Bamboo Sea, a ghostly pale monk collapsed to the ground, his Buddha Beads strewn chaotically nearby, as a slim hand lingered over his skull.

Despair filled his gaze toward the cold woman, his mouth moving silently without sound.

Her wrist twisted sharply, unleashing a devastating surge of Qi Power from her palm.

Heavenly Spirit Strike, God Court shatters, soul and spirit crushed!

Turning her head, Qing Shuang eyed the colossal thousand-meter giant far off.

Sharing an unspoken accord, the giant altered its assault style and rhythm right under her watch.

It sheathed the Heavenly Stick and Life-taking Golden Feather, gripping the Yuan Tu Blood Sword in one hand.

A breath escaped it, firing five rays of light.

Next, employing all five hands at once, it executed sword arts.

Great Five Elements Sword Formation, rise!

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—the Five Elements birthed five swords, their dazzling glows twisting wildly, unleashing endless Sword Qi like a celestial cascade that swallowed dozens in the field.

Sword Silk whirled, Sword Qi erupted, carving blood mists and agonized shrieks everywhere it swept.

From afar, Qing Shuang observed the carnage with a grave expression.

This time, Luo Chen's sword formation outshone the previous by leaps and bounds.

Did extra limbs account for it? Or a denser Divine Soul? Maybe purer Qi Power?

Qing Shuang had no clue.

All she understood was her own Divine Soul flaw mended by the Nether Soul Pearl offered scant boost to her full might.

Yet Luo Chen's gains shone across every front.

"I wonder if I can surpass him after refining the Jikong Flower?"

Without realizing, Qing Shuang measured herself against Luo Chen.

But a sudden chill gripped her heart before she could watch more.

She void-stepped instantly.

Her path veered not to Luo Chen's fray, but straight for the Moonlight Glaze Hall!

...

The Vajra Demon Suppression Formation proved useless against Luo Chen, turning into a brutal massacre with the Great Five Elements Sword Formation's debut.

Screams of dying sect brothers rang out everywhere.

Huineng, Dharma Hall's chief, wore a merciful expression, peering past the sword formation at the tantalizingly close Moonlight Glaze Hall.

Hands pressed together, he murmured Buddhist chants.

"Six fellow disciples, lend me your strength!"

The other six hall leaders grasped his plan, swiftly arranging into triple inward and outward rings to shield him at the core.

Luo Chen saw it unfold and grasped their scheme at once.

He swung the Yuan Tu Blood Sword high and cleaved downward.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Two radiant barriers emerged, halting his advance.

The Yuan Tu Sword stalled dead.

"Hmph!"

A cold huff escaped Luo Chen as he summoned the sword formation's might around himself.

Five hues danced across the Blood Sword.

Immense pressure bore down.

"Break!"

Crushing relentlessly, he splintered the outer golden barrier.

The three outermost hall heads reeled from the impact, crumpling pale-faced like gilded sheets.

The Yuan Tu Sword's momentum surged unchecked toward the inner ring.

Other monks countered fiercely, striking vital spots.

Luo Chen shrugged off all blows with his sturdy frame, hell-bent on halting the Dharma Hall chief.

However!

After tanking scores of strikes and smashing the second barrier by force, his blade sliced through empty air.

"No tree, no platform, untouched by dust!"

The Dharma Hall head serenely watched the massive blood sword whistle past, ascending gracefully untouched by the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, slipping free.

Once outside, he palm-struck remotely at the Moonlight Glaze Hall.

Mid-thrust, his arm snapped midway.

A dread-filled hand pulsing with golden Buddha Power thrust toward the Moonlight Glaze Hall.

Luo Chen pursued from behind with his slashing sword.

Ahead, Qing Shuang emerged from the void, boldly unveiling her true shape as a thousand-meter Divine Bird.

Swish!

Sword Light grazed him, vaporizing the exposed Dharma Hall head's body into bloody fog.

The golden hand tore through space, skewering Qing Shuang's form to smash the white-robed monk inside.

No way that belonged to the Dharma Hall head!

Disregarding her wounds, Qing Shuang screeched piercingly, wings beating to churn the void.

The golden hand laden with horrific Buddha Power bogged down like in mud.

From behind, the thousand-meter giant charged across space, all six arms lunging for the golden hand.

"Come back to me!"

Vast power yanked, as Luo Chen wrenched the hand rearward by sheer will.

Ferocious Buddha Power battered Luo Chen, draining his vigor, shrinking his thousand-meter True Body swiftly.

Pain contorted Luo Chen's features, eyes contracting sharply.

"Whose hand is this?"

Qing Shuang reverted to human shape, arriving at Luo Chen's side to seize the golden hand with him.

United, they hauled the golden arm back by force.

"Not enough! Still not enough!"

Teeth clenched, Luo Chen ignited his inner Nirvana Sacred Fire, morphing into a tiny golden bird that orbited the hand, igniting it in flames.
