Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2701 - 997: Master Taiyue Forces His Way into Mingyuan

The momentary shock and fury vanished swiftly, restoring Luo Chen's face to its normal serenity in a flash.

From that short exchange, Luo Chen had spotted resemblances between the green slave mark and the one he himself had placed.

Each sought to embed enslavement deeply without impeding Di Tu's cultivation or development.

Thus, it wouldn't obstruct Di Tu's path to power or destiny, ultimately yielding a supreme Great Demon Emperor or perhaps a God Transformation Ancient Monster.

Only exceptional Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators could pierce through the Golden Wind Gang's Qi barrier to arrive here.

Luo Chen's eyes scanned the surroundings before fixing once more between Di Tu's brows.

A leaf-like slave mark flickered into view and out again.

"The technique of a Divine Transformation Great Power!"

"Unless I'm wrong, it's the handiwork of Chun Yuan, the Great Power dispatched by the Tianyuan Daoist Sect to guard the Eastern Wasteland long ago."

"Since Chun Yuan has perished, perhaps I can dissolve the slave mark she implanted!"

During the Soulbreak Cliff battle, Luo Chen remained unaware of Qi Xia Emperor's wound severity, yet the Tianyuan Daoist Sect endured devastating casualties.

Four of the Five Elders of Tianyuan fell, with only the youngest, Liancheng Ancestor, escaping by sheer fortune.

Chun Yuan the Great Power among them failed to depart Soulbreak Cliff alive as well.

Her death meant the techniques she employed couldn't sustain their utmost potency.

This held especially true for a slave mark that wasn't aggressively imposed to begin with.

Filled with anticipation, golden radiance gleamed in Luo Chen's eyes as he fixed his gaze on Di Tu, while cautiously extending his Divine Consciousness to probe the green leaf slave mark bit by bit.

Dismantling such imprints was Luo Chen's specialty.

In over three centuries, countless storage rings and artifacts bearing lingering marks had fallen to his skills.

Hence, he possessed distinctive expertise, executing the task with speed and accuracy.

Layer by layer, as he dissected and unraveled it, Luo Chen became ever more acquainted with Chun Yuan's approach, even sensing a hint of the Origin of Wood’s Law power embedded within.

That force subtly eroded Di Tu’s Divine Soul.

Upon Di Tu's triumph, total subjugation would follow.

"Such an ingenious subtle invasion!"

Three days flew by unnoticed.

Luo Chen shut his fatigued, puffy eyes, fingers gently rubbing his temples, a sense of confidence washing over him.

At present, unraveling the slave mark remained beyond his reach.

Not due to Chun Yuan the Great Power's overwhelming superiority, but because the soul restriction forming this slave mark proved extraordinarily resilient!

Even a mere strand of her Divine Soul Power, if densely packed, repelled the onslaughts from Luo Chen’s expansive Divine Consciousness time and again.

A single misstep might jolt Di Tu awake suddenly, halting his uptake of father Di Tian’s Gold Origin.

"Time!"

Luo Chen swiftly pinpointed the optimal strategy for its removal.

Chun Yuan's demise caused the slave mark to erode progressively with time, requiring no effort from him to fully fade away.

Naturally, Di Tu would then reclaim his autonomy.

Luo Chen's task was to overlay his own slave mark precisely when the original waned.

Casting a profound look at the sleeping golden giant tiger, Luo Chen pivoted and departed.

...

Upon Luo Chen's arrival back at the Flying Boat, Hao Ranzi and Yu Jiaolong, anxious over three days of silence, heaved sighs of relief.

Three days without word had sparked genuine fears for Luo Chen's safety.

Freshly ascended to Nascent Soul Realm, they grasped how vast disparities could arise within the same stage over time.

Still weakened, without Luo Chen's safeguarding, their every move would prove arduous now and ahead.

They, above all, hoped nothing befell Luo Chen.

Noting his fatigued visage upon return, they yearned to question him yet held back wisely, opting for silence.

If he chose not to share, they refrained from prying.

The Flying Boat veered around Bikong Domain and resumed its journey.

Luo Chen shut his eyes, plunging his awareness into his Sea of Consciousness.

The immense Main Soul dominated the core.

Eight formidable soul shards encircled it from every side.

The clash with Chun Yuan the Great Power’s lingering soul mark had yielded revelations.

He now perceived the chasm separating his Divine Soul from that of a Divine Transformation Great Power.

Not in volume, but in essence!

Soulbreak Cliff marked Luo Chen’s second greatest stroke of fortune, trailing only the Beihai Fallen Demon Land.

For instant rewards, his Divine Soul Endowment's explosive growth outshone the profound, lasting boons from the Fallen Demon Land.

Years of cultivation had elevated Luo Chen’s Divine Soul Endowment beyond peers.

Soulbreak Cliff's massive Soul Stone absorption ballooned it over tenfold!

Luo Chen had thought his Divine Soul Endowment matched an average Divine Transformation Great Power.

Yet reality showed it lagging.

That shortfall lay in quality.

"Is it the divide between Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit?"

Luo Chen whispered to himself, mind wandering to recent events.

In the West Desert, a brief Divine Consciousness skirmish unfolded against the pre-breakthrough Master Xuan Du.

Their Divine Soul Endowments clashed head-on!

Master Xuan Du’s was markedly inferior in size, yet the bout stalemated.

Neither could overpower the other—Luo Chen couldn't budge Xuan Du, nor vice versa.

Xuan Du's edge stemmed from his early-formed Primordial Spirit.

"The Divine Soul drifts formlessly, housed safely in the Sea of Consciousness. Full fusion with the Nascent Soul forges the ultimate symbiotic state."

"In that light, confronting the Tianyuan Daoist Sect won't prove simple."

The Tianyuan Daoist Sect retained Divine Transformation Great Powers in command!
