Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2744 - 1013: Power of Destruction, Ultimate Nirvana (Part 2)
Previously on Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster...
Not only could he breach the barrier between the middle and late stages, but he might even ascend to the eighth or ninth layer of the Nascent Soul realm directly!
However, entering the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land meant facing not only immense Primordial Qi but also the vast quantities of Ming Shui and the Nirvana Sacred Fire left behind by Emperor Qi Xia!
These two elements, one polluting Qi Power and the other incinerating everything, posed a severe threat.
How could the Blessed Land possibly withstand such potent forces?
Even Luo Chen himself might struggle to endure such an intense purification.
"I must put a stop to this!"
An idea spontaneously formed in his mind.
Luo Chen immediately began employing various strategies.
His initial thought was to locate the mysterious force that had appeared earlier, believing that the originator of the problem should be the one to resolve it.
This anomaly was triggered by that power, thus it should also be the solution.
Yet, this power had only manifested for a fleeting moment before vanishing without a trace.
Unable to sense its presence, Luo Chen felt a mix of shock and anger, tinged with regret, as if a golden opportunity had slipped through his grasp.
"What exactly was that?"
As thoughts raced, Luo Chen soon abandoned this line of inquiry and turned to a second method.
He decided to deploy his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Primordial Chaos Tripod, to absorb as much of the Ming Shui and Nirvana Sacred Fire as possible, thereby protecting the other sect disciples within the Blessed Land from harm.
The Ming Shui was relatively manageable, as he had completely refined the Ming Water Spring Eye over the preceding three years, allowing for a smooth absorption process.
He absorbed the incoming liquid without any reservation.
The Nirvana Sacred Fire, however, proved to be far more problematic.
While the Primordial Chaos Tripod could absorb it, its capacity was limited; absorbing too much would undoubtedly destroy his Lifebound Magic Treasure.
"If I were to unleash my own cultivated Nirvana Fire Spirit, could it absorb Emperor Qi Xia’s Nirvana Sacred Fire?"
Luo Chen was eager to test this possibility, and his Nirvana Fire Spirit within the Purple Mansion was already stirring, ready to take flight.
Yet, his gaze flickered, and he forcibly suppressed this impulse.
Intuition!
He had a strong premonition that using his Nirvana Fire Spirit to absorb another entity's Nirvana Sacred Fire would only bring him harm.
"Then I shall absorb it through a different means!"
With a flick of his wrist, a fan materialized.
Its handle resembled jade, its ribs like glaze, and when unfurled, it looked like blood-colored coral.
This was the Blood Jade Three Flame Fan, a gift bestowed upon him by Cangwu Mountain after he ascended to the position of master of the Transmitting Truth Hall.
Classified as a Pseudo-Spirit Treasure, it housed the Fire Origin and possessed the capability to accommodate three distinct flames.
The more potent the flames it contained, the greater its power became.
If it held ordinary Fourth-Order flames, its unleashed fusion could be unrivaled within the Nascent Soul Realm.
Should it contain Fifth-Order Divine Fire, it could even pose a threat to Great Powers at the Divine Transformation stage!
Luo Chen had never tested its full capabilities before, but he could not afford any further delay.
Infusing Qi Power imbued with the Fire Origin, the Blood Jade Three Flame Fan unfurled, commencing its absorption of the descending Nirvana Sacred Fire in massive quantities.
It was working!
A flicker of joy involuntarily illuminated Luo Chen’s face.
But this delight quickly faded.
It was too much!
Despite the passage of decades, which had caused much of the Nirvana Sacred Fire in the Nether Abyss to dissipate, the remaining volume was still overwhelming for the Blood Jade Three Flame Fan.
In mere moments, he sensed the magical item in his hand beginning to swell ominously, as if it were on the verge of rupturing.
"No, I must discover another solution!"
Luo Chen muttered, casting his gaze upward towards the heavens.
"This world cannot provide me with an inexhaustible supply of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Rather than passively resisting, I should actively embrace it."
"Both the Ming Shui and the Golden Flames are merely incidental factors; resolving the immense influx of Primordial Qi will be the key to overcoming this crisis."
Without further hesitation, Luo Chen began to recite the "Moonlight Purifying Heart Spell."
Instantly, his Primordial Spirit reappeared!
Like a protective canopy, the Primordial Spirit enveloped his frail body below, offering a counterpoint to the overwhelming might of the heavens.
Endless Primordial Qi surged into the Primordial Spirit, progressively solidifying its form.
This time, Luo Chen maintained his efforts for the duration of a single cup of tea.
With a muffled groan, the Primordial Spirit, now laden with abundant Primordial Qi, was forced back into his physical body, bifurcating into two distinct entities.
The Nascent Soul reintegrated into the Purple Mansion, while the Divine Soul retreated to the Sea of Consciousness.
His previously weightless body, now entirely under his command, began to exert a heavy, sinking sensation upon Luo Chen.
He looked towards the sky with a sense of despair.
Even though the Primordial Qi Tornado had diminished by more than half due to his persistent application of techniques, it still raged unabated.
This was truly terrifying!
Although upon first comprehending the True Intent of a Law, one receives a heavenly boon, drawing a small cluster of Yuan Qi from the Primordial Energy Ocean to refine into their own Qi Power.
Yet, it was merely a minuscule cluster!
How could it be like this now, so vast and boundless, seemingly endless?
This time, his comprehension was of the Water Origin, which doesn’t quite harmonize with his own Fire Spirit Body; it definitely shouldn’t surpass the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi brought by the last comprehension of the Fire Origin.
"It must be due to that mysterious force that emerged at that moment."
Luo Chen vaguely guessed that the force brought by the clash of water and fire might possess a rank above the fundamental Law’s True Intent of the Water Origin.
He missed the opportunity to comprehend and grasp it, so it flashed by.
But the "blessing" it summoned has now become his catastrophe.
If this Primordial Qi infusion continued, he would be literally exploded, and the entire Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land would suffer a devastating blow.
"Is there any other way?"
Luo Chen’s mind raced, frantically thinking of other solutions.
This Primordial Qi infusion targets him.
As long as he lives, it won’t stop.
And for an Immortal Cultivator, there is only one basis for survival—the Divine Soul!
"Yes!"
"As long as I conceal my Divine Soul’s breath, perhaps I can deceive this heaven and earth, ending this infusion. Even if there’s still leftover Primordial Qi Tornado, I can rely on my physical body to withstand it for a while."
"Conceal the Divine Soul..."
Luo Chen "exerted all his strength" to mobilize a trace of Qi Power, performing the Stealth Technique.
However, the effect was infinitely weak.
The Primordial Qi Tornado merely shrunk a bit, then quickly expanded again.
In the face of the overwhelming might of the heavens and earth, such concealment was truly inferior. The effect achieved was less due to Luo Chen’s own concealment technique and more because of the inherent shielding effect of the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.
Furthermore, as long as one resides in this heaven and earth, any concealment technique cannot escape the scrutiny of Heaven’s Will.
"But, after all, there is some effect!"
In his despair, Luo Chen felt a glimmer of hope.
He had another technique!
Not just a complete concealment... but directly erasing his own Divine Soul. Although it’s only for an instant, an instant was enough.
It all depended on whether he dared to take the gamble.
If he failed, all would be lost.
If he succeeded, not only could he escape this great calamity, but future benefits would be boundless.
In the end, Luo Chen made up his mind.
"Back then, I evaded that ordeal by trickery, but now I have no choice but to face it head-on."
"So be it!"
"I might as well give it a try. I already have no retreat."
With a light sigh, Luo Chen gently sat inside the Primordial Cauldron. His left thumb pressed against his ring finger, forming the Silent Extinction Seal. His right hand formed a palm, with the thumb, little, and ring fingers fully bent, the middle finger half-bent, and only the index finger extended, lightly touching his forehead.
To be reborn from the place of death is Nirvana!
To be detached from delusions and desires, is also Nirvana!
To join the profoundness of self and matter, returning to Wuji, is ultimate Nirvana!
The doctrines once comprehended surged in his mind like a spring, followed by a golden stream of light shooting out from Luo Chen’s Purple Mansion, transforming instantly into a phoenix that enveloped his entire body.
Under the burning golden flames, Luo Chen’s eyes suddenly widened, then abruptly closed.
In the Sea of Consciousness, the Eight Major Souls shattered in an instant, merging back into the Main Soul as the purest power of Divine Soul.
The once strongest and most sturdy Main Soul also began to shatter at this moment.
Specks of Soul Fragment rippled in the golden waves of the Sea of Consciousness, ultimately fading to nothing.
At this moment.
The earth trembled, and the winds dissipated.
The tornado connecting heaven and earth seemed to lose its target, collapsing and crashing heavily into the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.
The Ming Shui flowed steadily, forming a massive black lake on the concave ruins of Elixir Mountain.
The golden flames, like rootless duckweed, drifted aimlessly, but soon, as if attracted, unconsciously headed towards that gray cauldron.
Wang Yuan and others looked at this scene in astonishment, completely unable to react.
Clearly, Luo Chen was still performing various actions a moment ago, but how, in an instant, did his breath disappear?
Disappeared... breath!
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically!
