Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 553: Isolated Island, Puppet, Decisive Battle

Putting the huge body of a third-order ring-headed turtle into a storage bag, Gu Shaoshang's eyes fell under the sea.

With just one glance, he noticed something was wrong.

That fluctuation of spiritual energy is not a sign that the Red Rock Crab will explode.

"Evil spirit?"

Just when he was confused, he raised his brows and immediately retreated, disappearing into the void.

Under the sea.

Luo Chen was a little stunned, a cultivator?

He is also a great monk who has reached the seventh level of the Golden Core!

Suddenly, his expression changed, he put away the fire miasma, and quietly escaped into the deep sea.

On the large island next to it, the battle has gradually come to an end. The Red Rock Crab clan has been able to divide its forces to sweep the battlefield. This is not a place to stay for a long time.

As the two left, after a long time, a figure flew to this sea area.

After walking around for a while, he looked confused.

Missing?

No matter it was the demon king of the same clan or the ring-headed turtle clan, they were all gone.

Could it be that a member of the same clan was killed and even the body was taken away?

After another search, the Red Rock Crab Demon King could only return in vain. Fortunately, this big island was finally captured, and he was one step closer to capturing Xuanyan Island.

……

In a desert island.

As soon as Luo Chenfu returned to the cave, he immediately took out the recently dead third-order red rock crab from the storage ring.

Using a magic weapon, while the magic power was running, the carapace was removed from the corpse and immediately soaked in a special liquid.

At this point, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

The third-level demon crab no longer needs to be refined into medicine alive.

But correspondingly, the materials on his body must also be processed in advance to prevent the death energy from being infected.

Otherwise, if there is too much death energy, even if the black emperor ointment is refined later, the quality will be very low. In this way, the fish he touches in muddy water will be in vain.

Counting it all together, this is the third level three monster crab he has quietly hunted in the past few months.

Luo Chen had almost given up on this idea.

Who would have known that the demon crab's offensive suddenly changed.

From being well-organized and cooperating with each other at the beginning, they were inconsistent in advancing and retreating, and gradually evolved into fighting independently.

In addition, the resistance from the ring-headed turtle side became more intense.

The situation becomes even more chaotic!

This also gave Luo Chen enough opportunities.

There is a third-order invisible formation engraved on his body. When Luo Chen takes action, as long as he does not use powerful means, it is almost silent.

The first two times, I encountered two third-level monster crabs that were defeated and seriously injured.

After he quietly used his natal magic weapon Hunyuan Cauldron, he easily caught it.

This time, it’s even easier!

Thinking of the process of this attack, Luo Chen recalled the young-looking monk in his mind.

"There are actually people who imitate me and become the oriole behind me?"

"The late stage of Jindan..."

Luo Chen's mind moved and he sent out a message.

After a long time, a seemingly ordinary seagull circled in the sky several times and landed on the unknown desert island.

She advanced slowly along a specific route, and finally entered the cave where Luo Chen was.

"Master, Tianxuan is back, what are your orders?"

The young man with his back to her turned around, holding a painting with a lifelike portrait of a man on it.

Before he could speak, Tianxuan blurted out when she saw the portrait.

"Gu Shaoshang!"

"It's really him."

Luo Chen nodded slightly, lit a flame in his hand, and burned the newly painted portrait to ashes.

He knew that in this black rock sea area where there were usually no traces of humans, how could a great monk of the seventh level of the Golden Core appear?

It would not be surprising if it was Gu Shaoshang.

After all, the other party had been here a long time ago and had even cooperated with the royal demon crab.

The only strange thing is that although the monks from Feiyunjian have already evacuated from the black rock sea area, Gu Shaoshang has left and returned, and he has become an oriole like himself.

"His goal is obvious, he is coming for the third-order ring-headed turtle."

"It's the same as me running towards the third-order Demon Crab King!"

"However, since we have joined forces with the Demon Crab before, why do you need to act like this and imitate my sneaky behavior?"

While muttering to himself, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

Tianxuan stood there respectfully, not daring to disturb Luo Chen at all.

After a long while, Luo Chen came to his senses hesitantly.

"Going back and doing what the oriole does, is this because you're afraid that the monster crab will kill the donkey, so you rely on your cultivation to do it alone?"

It has to be said that Luo Chen's guess is no different from the truth.

In other words, it is not difficult to guess this.

Tianxuan Douou, who had been concealed by Luo Chen, was always hovering in the sky, monitoring the direction of this war for him.

During the process, I also saw Feiyunjian monks carrying ring-headed turtle carcasses to the monster hunting boat several times.

This is obviously one of the conditions for cooperation between the human and the male.

Before, I just thought that the Feiyunjian monks had made enough, and then they hurriedly evacuated.

Now it seems that Gu Shaoshang has quite an appetite.

Of course, the other party was also very cautious. He first removed the weak disciples of his sect, and then hunted more ring-headed turtles by himself.

From this, Luo Chen also had an idea.

"Do you want to kill him while he is alone? To avenge Tianxuan?"

Tianxuan's revenge is not just about face.

Because Tianxuan Fighting Ou was captured, the three demon spider crab demon kings came to kill Tianxuan Island, thus exposing Luo Chen's location.

Otherwise, he wouldn't need to take such risks now and enter the battlefield to hunt monster crabs himself.

After some thought, Luo Chen gave up the idea for the time being.

"That's it!"

"The top priority is to secretly hunt more third-order demon crabs and prepare more Black Emperor Cream for the late third-order ancient body tempering."

“It’s not beautiful if there are branches outside the knot.”

Luo Chen knew his priorities clearly.

The current battlefield environment is chaotic and complex, which is perfect for him to fish in troubled waters and seize profits.

If side issues arise and alarm one of the five royal clans, it will easily lead to even greater trouble.

and!

If he wants to deal with a great monk in the late Golden Core stage, with his current ability, he must use all his means.

Whether you can take it or not is one thing, but if the commotion is too big, that's another thing.

The Lord of the Evil Skua is the biggest enemy of the Demon Crab!

After dividing the primary and secondary targets, Luo Chen looked at Tianxuan.

"What's the current situation in the Crab-Turtle War?"

Tianxuan replied without hesitation: "The fifty-four islands have been destroyed, and only the eighteen islands are still under the control of the Huanshou Turtle Clan. According to my observation, the five royal clans of monster crabs are bound to win this battle. Almost all the elites in the clan have been dispatched. Taking over the remaining eighteen islands is just around the corner!"

Are there only eighteen large islands left?

Luo Chen read this number with a thoughtful look on his face.

The Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation uses the Nine Islands as an eye of the formation and divides it into eight areas to form a Bagua formation, guarding Xuanyan Island within it.

In other words, the eighteen large islands are the last two formation eyes.

Either it is not broken, or once it is broken, the direction of this war will be completely determined by the chain reaction.

There is not much time left for yourself!

"Continue to monitor the battlefield situation and notify me immediately if a war breaks out."

"Yes, Master!"

"How is the situation over there with the Black King?"

"According to the array map provided by the master, Dahei is very close to Xuanyan Island. However, it may be a bit difficult to sneak in."

Hearing the news, Luo Chen nodded.

The Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation looks majestic, but is actually quite rough.

Otherwise, Gu Shaoshang would not have been able to find the flaws so easily and break them one by one.

On his side, with Han Zhan's guidance and the God-Searching Method of the God-Searching Compass, the direction of this formation became more transparent and clear.

Therefore, a long time ago, he had asked the Black King to sneak into the inner formation quietly while the battle was in full swing for emergencies.

"You inform the Black King that if you go to Xuanyan Island, follow the formation map I gave you, go to the designated place, and bury the God Compass."

Tianxuan said in surprise: "Master, do you want to go to the island too?"

Luo Chen smiled casually, "If it really comes to that point, I would also like to witness how this war ends. Think about it, the scene should be spectacular!"

Personally observing the rise and fall of a clan is a beautiful thing in one's spiritual practice.

Even if nothing is gained, it can be used as a good conversation piece in future exchanges with colleagues.

……

Time passes slowly.

Without Gu Shaoshang's command, the attack of the demon crab became very chaotic.

However, as a single tribe formed an army, there were no more constraints on each other, and the confusion in command was effectively alleviated.

For this, the price paid was the five royal clans' demon crabs, and each family's losses increased by 30%.

Not only the low-level demon crabs, but also the high-level combat forces suffered huge losses.

The great demon king has personally calculated that the five tribes have sacrificed the lives of almost twenty third-level demon kings in this battle.

As for the ring-headed turtle, the losses were even more severe!

But even so, the resistance of Huanshougui never stopped, and even became more determined, refusing to give in an inch of ground. The same is true for the five royal clans of demon crabs!

The battlefield began to advance continuously.

From the initial seventy-two islands, to thirty-six islands, and then eighteen islands.

Unknowingly, the destruction of the formation and the destruction of the island had lasted for nearly a year.

Until, the heads of the five royal families set foot on the Sky Snake Island together.

Jin Hun, Chi Yan, Zhu Xiang, Nine Claws, Green Sleeves.

The five statues showed their full size, and their huge bodies stood on the Sky Snake Island.

Behind him are an army of millions of monster crabs.

In front of him is a large island with an area of ​​thousands of miles!

If you are in the air, looking from a distance, it looks like a piece of land.

This is Xuanyan Island!

"After decades of planning and five years of fierce fighting, we have finally arrived here. Everyone, success or failure will all depend on this final battle!" Jin Hun exhaled, showing no sign of vicissitudes of life, but full of ambition.

The four demons on the side were also in extremely complicated moods at the moment.

Some of them just happened to meet each other and participated in this battle at the end.

Some are prepared in advance and have been secretly paying attention to the progress of the King Crab clan.

No matter what, the contribution of each family is equally huge.

Green sleeves blinked and said with some sadness: "In order to get here, our Blue Emperor Crab clan has sacrificed seven third-level clansmen, and there are countless second- and first-level clansmen left. Until now, there are some third-level clansmen His body has not been recovered."

Zhu Xiang said indifferently: "All the efforts are worth it. As long as we win Xuanyan Island!"

"Chi Chi Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai, those who don't know think it's those weak immortal cultivators who are sentimental here." Chi Yan sneered.

However, Jiuzhao could no longer hold back and revealed its fangs.

"When will we do it?"

Jin Hun raised his giant claws high, "There's only one last step left, so there's no need to delay. It's better to hit the sun than to choose another day, let's do it today!"

As he spoke, the giant pincer suddenly fell down.

"attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rose into the air.

Along with him, there were four other clan leaders.

Under the gaze of everyone, the five demons burst out of the sky and headed straight for the vast island.

As they flew out, the island trembled, and a beam of light rose from the ground.

The majestic spiritual energy burst out from deep underground.

There is also a terrifying suction force that spreads in all directions.

But unfortunately, there was no response to this suction.

The Eight Diagrams of the Nine Palaces have been broken, leaving the middle palace, which has no response, and is nothing more than an isolated island.

After the light pillar was unfolded, before it could take on a physical form, it was suddenly defeated by the five chiefs of the clan, using unparalleled demonic energy.

As the light pillar was defeated, layers of shaking sounds came from Xuanyan Island.

Several mountains on the island collapsed.

The earth rolled like an earth dragon turning over.

Waves of seawater surged up from all directions, almost like a tsunami.

At some point, ring-headed turtles that treated each other coldly appeared on the island, and they were ready to fight to protect their homeland.

No nonsense!

Following the order from the five chiefs, millions of demon crabs began to land on Xuanyan Island.

Suddenly, the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth.

Endless rain of blood is falling, and the stench of evil aura permeates all directions.

……

"It's time for me to go to the island too."

Among the army of monster crabs, there was a second-level monster crab that moved slowly and seemed a little out of place.

Under the carapace, in the abdomen, Luo Chen controlled the demon crab puppet to advance slowly with a slightly surprised expression.

Yes, the monster crab puppet!

This demon crab is a simple puppet that Han Zhan took the time to make for Luo Chen.

The offensive and defensive capabilities are average, but the advantage is that he can hide his traces.

In addition, after Luo Chen mastered the Breath Condensation Spiritual Art, he could absorb the auras of others and pretend to imitate them.

With the two combined, almost no one would notice anything wrong with this monster crab unless they looked closely.

As Luo Chen controlled, a strange feeling emerged in his mind.

"It's a bit like the control mecha in the science fiction novels I read in my previous life."

After muttering something, the demon crab puppet moved its eight legs and kept up with the rhythm of the army's attack.

But after arriving on the island, he did not join the battle immediately. Instead, he found a direction, broke away from the large army, and left quietly.

Along the way, fights broke out frequently on the road, but Luo Chen avoided them as much as possible.

Suddenly.

Luo Chen paused and looked at a certain place.

There, the spiritual light transformed, and a figure slowly emerged.

"It's him!"

Gu Shaoshang also came.

However, compared to Luo Chen's silence, Gu Shaoshang's whereabouts were somewhat exposed.

It's okay that the number of ordinary monsters is small, but now on this battlefield where monsters are everywhere, the sudden appearance of a human cultivator is really too eye-catching.

As soon as they appeared, Gu Shaoshang had to kill two monsters with his own hands.

Luo Chen glanced at it, not wanting to get involved, and controlled the monster crab to avoid the center of the battlefield.

"Duh!"

In the battlefield, Gu Shaoshang pointed his finger like a sword and controlled a flying sword to harvest the lives of nearby monsters.

He was a little helpless.

I am not proficient in concealment methods, and I did not expect that there would be so many monsters participating in the final battle.

In an accident, it was exposed.

Seeing two demon kings flying towards him in the distance, he had to retreat and fly away from Xuanyan Island.

"I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to watch this last battle."

In desperation, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw an out-of-place monster crab walking in the opposite direction.

A strange monster crab that doesn’t even obey the orders of the leader of the clan?

Naturally, Luo Chen didn't know that he had fallen into the other person's eyes for a moment.

All he knew was that he was going well.

Along the way, he avoided large and small battle groups by deliberately taking detours.

Finally, the demon crab puppet stopped in a swamp shrouded in miasma.

Eight legs stopped.

The miasma seemed to be blown away by the wind, making way for it.

A giant python with a single horn stretched out its head and looked at the demon crab in confusion.

But as a divine voice reached his ears, he quickly reacted.

"Welcome Master!"

The demon crab didn't reply, and stepped into the swamp.

As soon as he entered, the carapace opened and Luo Chen walked out of it.

After looking around, he showed a satisfied look.

"Although this place is bad, it is connected to the deep sea springs. It can be used as a base for advance and retreat! Black King, you have done a good job!"

As he spoke, he threw a jade bottle over.

The Black King took it as if he had found a treasure.

"Master, are we going to join the war?" He asked cautiously, holding the jade bottle.

Luo Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Join the war?

This is what we need to do, but we can’t do it in a hurry.

The most urgent task is to observe the battlefield situation first!

Without answering the Black King, Luo Chen found a dry place in the swamp and sat cross-legged.

The Fengshen Compass appeared in front of him.

He runs his natal skills, absorbs the spiritual energy of the surrounding world, and immediately casts spells before they are transformed.

Soon, a huge water mirror slowly took shape.

In the environment, battles everywhere are lifelike.

But due to the explosion of demonic energy and spiritual energy, the water mirror began to ripple continuously, looking quite unstable.

"With my soul, which is comparable to the late stage of Jindan, can't I maintain the Water Mirror Technique in a battle of this scale?"

After muttering something, Luo Chen could only accept the reality.

However, he had another method.

"Senior Han, could you please help me?"

Among the Ten Thousand Souls Flags, Han Zhan showed his figure helplessly.

"You kid..."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the water mirror.

In an instant, the mirror surface was so stable!
