Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2851 - 1054: Elemental Magnetic Aurora, The Enemy Reveals Himself (Part 2)
Previously on Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster...
The oppressive, all-encompassing force seemed to dissipate entirely.
After approximately a day and night, Luo Chen's vision suddenly cleared.
Before him raged a ferocious blizzard, while behind, starlight cascaded like an endless sea.
A jubilant voice, Little White's, chimed in his ear.
"We're finally out! Master, you're incredible!"
Luo Chen simply smiled, shaking his head. "It's not my own ability, but rather the token Li Canghai provided that allowed me to readily discern the operational principles of this grand formation."
Without further explanation, he directed his attention towards the blizzard that advanced and then retreated before him.
His expression grew considerably more serious.
Despite the gravity of the situation, he strode forward without hesitation.
For this perpetual, biting blizzard, enduring for millennia, was precisely his intended destination!
The Nine Heavens Celestial Qi he sought was located within Beiji Yemo Tian, not merely in Ye Mo Sky, but specifically within the Elemental Magnetic Aurora, venerated as the protective boundary by the Yuan Mo Sect!
Upon entry, the biting snow and relentless wind immediately assailed him.
His expanded mana shield bore the brunt of the intense onslaught.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Luo Chen pressed onward, undeterred, though the ground beneath his feet proved treacherous, revealing the stark white of beast bones upon closer examination.
One could only imagine how many Demon Beasts had perished along this arduous mountain path.
Perhaps a significant number were casualties from the ancient battle that besieged the Yuan Mo Sect?
Suddenly!
Luo Chen detected a compromise in his expansive mana shield.
It wasn't a forceful breach, but rather something had systematically gnawed through it.
The Daoist's eyes snapped open, his Red Eyes Golden Pupils flaring to life, allowing him to clearly perceive the palm-sized insects.
These creatures, carried by the gale, were rapidly eroding the protective light shield around Luo Chen – a barrier that even ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators would struggle to penetrate.
The sight was indeed alarming.
Yet, Luo Chen let out a sigh of relief.
"As anticipated, Sky Worms are still abundant here, which consequently implies a substantial concentration of Nine Heavens Celestial Qi nearby!"
Within the vast expanse of the North Sea, a specific type of Demon Beast known as Sunrise Beasts is said to exist.
These beings, born from the sea and dwelling amidst the mists, sustain themselves by consuming various auroras.
Legend has it that the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light in Beiji Yemo Tian is a favored habitat for vast congregations of Sunrise Beasts.
Luo Chen had been aware of this legend for two centuries, even encountering impostors masquerading as Sunrise Beasts once.
It wasn't until he ascended to the Nine Heavens and began capturing Sky Qi that he confirmed the truth: these so-called Sunrise Beasts were, in fact, Sky Worms!
Despite their different appellations, they were fundamentally the same entity.
At that time, Luo Chen hadn't grasped the full implications. However, with Li Canghai's recent guidance, the connection became crystal clear—if Sky Worms subsisted on Sky Qi, then any locale with a significant presence of these worms would assuredly harbor a considerable amount of Sky Qi.
By extension of this logic, Beiji Yemo Tian stood out as the region with the highest concentration of Sky Qi in this world!
With Li Canghai's assistance, after forcefully traversing the North Pole Sealing Demon Array, Luo Chen had finally attained his objective.
He forged ahead relentlessly, cleaving through the tempestuous blizzard.
Gradually, his mana shield continued to erode, proving utterly insufficient against the relentless gnawing assault of the Sky Worms.
However, Luo Chen remained unperturbed, merely shifting his focus and uttering a command.
"Armor on!"
In the subsequent moment, a gleaming, jet-black armor materialized upon Luo Chen.
The armor exuded an ancient aura, etched with intricate patterns that seemed to have been carved by time itself, imbued with a palpable sense of antiquity.
Spirit Light flickered, coalescing into a formidable protective barrier around the armor.
This was the Xuan Chen Armor, now reforged by Luo Chen!
Utilizing the Xuan Turtle Source Blood from Xuanming, coupled with four top-tier lotus seeds, and nurtured meticulously by Luo Chen for decades, the reborn Xuan Chen Armor's defensive capabilities had been elevated to extraordinary heights.
The ferocity of the wind and snow buffeting it could not even stir the outer protective shield.
Even with countless Sky Worms attempting to gnaw at it, their efforts were as futile as ants trying to topple a great tree—a testament to their overestimation!
Luo Chen advanced with deliberate steps. Midway through his journey, he suddenly averted his gaze upward.
"Right on the mountain peak!"
Without hesitation, Luo Chen ascended into the sky.
During this ascent, the Xuan Chen shield enveloping him inexplicably dissipated, and the myriad Sky Worms swarming in the vicinity let out piercing screeches as they converged upon him.
Luo Chen remained completely unfazed; even without the shield, the intrinsic defensive prowess of the Xuan Chen Armor itself was vastly superior.
Disregarding the swirling swarm of Sky Worms, he cast his gaze upon the two towering mountains flanking him.
From these mountains, plumes of a peculiar grayish-white light emanated, spreading across the void and reaching even the Nine Heavens above.
"These mountains… they are the Primordial Magnetic Mountains!"
"This radiance is the Elemental Magnetic Aurora, a phenomenon said to nullify all of the world's Five Elements!"
"It's the reason the Xuan Chen Armor's automatically deployed shield vanished without a trace."
"And it's why a vast quantity of Nine Heavens Celestial Qi is naturally drawn to this location; they are swept up by the Elemental Magnetic Aurora and compelled to descend."
Comprehending this, Luo Chen descended onto a mountain peak.
With a chilling snort directed at the Sky Worms swarming around him, Luo Chen unleashed the terrifying Chi Xiao Sword Qi in the following instant. It sliced through a multitude of Sky Worms, leaving a trail of fallen bodies.
Then, with a powerful clap of his hands, the Nine Heavens Jar from the Jiuling Sect materialized beside him.
Luo Chen uttered a Dao Law Method, causing the Nine Heavens Jar to vibrate intensely. The Nine Heavens Celestial Qi, amassed over centuries, rapidly flowed into it.
Amidst the raging snowstorm and the surrounding aurora, all things were drawn into the jar.
The spectacle was truly awe-inspiring!
Luo Chen's heart swelled with satisfaction.
While this Nine Heavens Celestial Qi was somewhat mixed, not entirely comprising the three specific types he sought, it was undeniably superior to his previous aimless searching within Azure Darkness.
The time saved could easily amount to three to five years!
"I shall remember this kindness from Li Canghai!"
Luo Chen chuckled softly. He then slowly closed his eyes, expanding his Divine Consciousness to aid the Nine Heavens Jar in its continued collection of Sky Qi.
