Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 836: The Black King Returns, Chasing for Thousands of Miles

It is not so easy for a Yuanying Zhenren to fall!

This truth is well known.

This is because when a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, even if the physical body is destroyed, the soul can use the Nascent Soul to teleport thousands of miles.

As long as one can escape to the Nascent Soul stage, even without the blessing of the Purple Mansion, there is still a chance for him to rebuild his great path.

Possessing another's body, reshaping the body, transforming into a ghost cultivator, and even other various wonderful methods.

The reason why Luo Chen has taken the lives of many Nascent Soul masters along the way is because he has the Hunyuan Ding, a top-level artifact that can seal off space and capture the Golden Core and Nascent Soul of cultivators.

Others don't have such means.

Even if there is a huge gap in strength, the best that can be done is to kill, and it is difficult to capture the Nascent Soul alive.

Once the Nascent Soul is broken, the large amount of magic power that constitutes the Nascent Soul's body will spread to one side, forming a chaotic and terrifying spiritual storm.

When the eight demon kings came to the pass, the fallen demon kings set off a powerful spiritual energy storm that swept across Lingtian Pass. Lingtian Pass was equipped with a large-scale formation to absorb these spiritual energy storms, otherwise many buildings and lives would have been destroyed.

A similar scene occurred when Luo Chen killed Fei Yunzi in the Land of Falling Demons. If he had not possessed a fourth-order ancient body, he would not have been able to withstand the storm of spiritual energy.

This is the scene of the Nascent Soul being shattered during the battle.

Although a normal Nascent Soul that dies of old age will not cause a destructive spiritual energy storm, its magic power will slowly dissipate, turning into pure spiritual energy and returning to the world.

Although Luo Chen had never seen such a scene, he had learned a lot about it on Tiandi Peak.

The reason why Zhongzhou Tianyuan Taoist Sect is so powerful is that it has absorbed many old Nascent Soul cultivators from other continents. After they pass away, Zhongzhou can absorb the huge amount of spiritual energy condensed by these old Nascent Soul cultivators.

With the accumulation of little by little, the concentration of spiritual energy in Zhongzhou far exceeds that of the other four continents, which has led to the emergence of many talented people in Zhongzhou.

But for now!

Luo Chen's spiritual consciousness spread out, covering an area of ​​thousands of miles.

No!

There is no magic power left after the Second Palace Master's Nascent Soul was shattered!
Moreover, the opponent died here and the battlefield was also on the Fenghua Palace side. It was impossible for her to abandon thousands of Fenghua Palace disciples and escape alone with her Nascent Soul.

So, where did the Second Palace Master’s Nascent Soul go?
For a moment, Luo Chen felt uncomfortable and subconsciously clenched his right arm.

Jin Ling Zhenren also looked puzzled, "Could it be that the Second Palace Master is not dead yet?"

Fairy Fenghua said in hatred, "Junior sister must be dead. My perception is correct. As for where her Nascent Soul is, we need to ask those evil beasts!"

Carefully placing the Second Palace Master's body on the ground, she stood up and shouted softly, "Shunxi, Xia Lan, Fengyue, come in!"

Three figures walked in from the ruins.

Feng Yue, who looked pale, could still walk, but the other woman had to be supported by someone to come in.

"Uncle Master, you must avenge my master!"

"Xia Lan, what are you talking about? Are you crazy?"

"Master!"

Obviously, Shun Xi and Xia Lan are both disciples of the Second Palace Master, so they call Fairy Feng Hua their uncle.

Hearing their sorrowful voices, which sounded like children seeking help from adults, Fairy Fenghua could not help but clench her fists tightly.

"Xia Lan, you are responsible for collecting your master's body and preparing for his funeral."

"Shunxi, now that you are feeling better, go gather my palace guards and calm them down. Tell them that I am still here and Fenghua Palace will not fall!"

"Feng Yue, tell me what happened at that time? How many enemies were there, and who killed the Second Palace Master?"

Feng Yue pursed her lips and quickly told the three real people what had happened before.

There is actually very little content, because in the eyes of these Jindan cultivators, the battle only takes place in a flash.

"Master uncle sent a message that a huge demonic aura of unknown origin is heading straight for Fenghua Palace, and ordered us to activate the mountain protection formation."

"Master went to fight alone."

"When we hurriedly activated the formation, Master Uncle fell from the sky, his chest and abdomen were pierced, and he was no longer alive. No one knows who killed him."

"The mountain protection formation was broken in an instant. It was three demons with similar appearances and the same clothes who joined forces to attack."

"The formation of our sect involved the Fenghua Nine Palaces and the seventeen earth veins. Once the formation was broken, the earth veins shook, the mountains collapsed, and countless low-level disciples died instantly. Including me, there were seven Jindan masters in the formation, and four sisters died after their bodies exploded. Senior Sister Xia Lan's sea of ​​​​qi was broken, and Senior Sister Shunxi and I suffered backlash from the magic power. Our meridians were damaged and we had no power to resist."

"However, after destroying Fenghua Palace, the demon kings did not take advantage of the situation to attack. Instead, they fled quickly under the order of a leading demon girl and disappeared without a trace."

After she finished speaking in one breath, Feng Yue took a slight breath. It was obvious that the runaway magic power had caused serious damage to her meridians.

She swallowed her saliva, pleaded with fear in her eyes: "Master, there are seven invading enemies, you are definitely not their opponent, please don't go!"

A fierce look flashed in Fairy Fenghua's eyes.

Not going?

How could I not go!
Not to mention that this was a mission assigned by Lingtian Pass, she couldn't just stand by and watch the death of her own junior sister.

"It's Jinxiuxian." Luo Chen said softly.

Fairy Fenghua and True Man Jinling looked at Luo Chen, whose eyes narrowed slightly and a look of fear appeared on his face.

"According to Feng Yue, the invading enemy includes seven demon kings, and the leader is a female demon. Among the three commanders who attacked the rear this time, Bi Zheng and Jian Kuang are both male demons, and only Jin Xiu Xian is a female demon."

"Not only that, she is also one of the only two female demons among the nine commanders!"

"Being able to be on par with the great demon kings such as Qi Xi and Huang Man, his strength should not be underestimated!"

Not only can they not be underestimated, only great cultivators can match such existences, and ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators are no match at all.

And as Fengyue said, this monster acted very purposeful. After killing the Second Palace Master and destroying Fenghua Palace, it did not carry out a mass killing, but rushed to the next area without stopping.

It is obvious that the other side is not the kind that seeks to fight, and only wants to destroy the stability of the rear area.

Do you want to deal with such an existence?
difficult!
Jin Ling snorted coldly, "The three of us join forces, and we can fight even if a great cultivator is in front of us. Why should we be afraid?"

Luo Chen shook his head, "I'm not afraid, I'm worried."

"What are you worried about?" A hint of ferocity appeared on the delicate face of Fairy Fenghua. "They killed my sister and destroyed my Fenghua Palace. I will make them pay the price!"

Luo Chen sighed, "But Jin Xiuxian is not the only enemy we have."

"Their enemies are not just us!" Fairy Fenghua said in a low voice.

Afterwards, he said no more. After giving a few instructions to Fengyue and other disciples, he controlled the light of escape and rushed into the sky, heading towards the Dieyun Domain adjacent to the Fenghua Domain.

Jin Ling Zhenren glanced at Luo Chen and said confidently, "The Dieyun Sect is quite powerful. The three Yuanying Zhenren Liuyun, Xiayun and Caiyun are quite capable. With the advantage of the terrain, they may be able to stop them for a while. If we go faster, we still have a chance to stop them."

After saying that, he also flew out of the ruined Fenghua Palace.

Luo Chen looked around and felt sad.

He met Fengyue's timid and pleading eyes.

"Master Luo, my master is a little bit emotional right now, I'm afraid something might go wrong, I beg you to take care of her at this critical moment."

"I'll see what happens."

Luo Chen did not promise anything, just said perfunctorily, then summoned up his magic power and quickly caught up with the two men.

Seeing Luo Chen following them, Fairy Fenghua and True Man Jinling didn't say anything, but they were obviously relieved.

Luo Chen's brilliant record in recent years is enough to show that the other party is very powerful.

If he was missing, the two of them really wouldn't have the confidence to face Jinxiuxian.

As soon as he caught up, Luo Chen made a request.

"Take a short detour to Baili Qingchuan!"

Fairy Fenghua frowned, "Are you worried about Luo Tianzong?"

Jin Ling Zhenren waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. It's obvious that this demon king's army is only targeting the Yuanying Upper Sect. The number of cultivators left behind in your Luotian Sect is not as many as in my Five Elements Divine Sect. They don't care about us."

"Go!"

Luo Chen insisted, and the two of them could not refuse by force, so they had to go with Luo Chen.

But it was obvious that both of them had increased their speed a lot.

During the flight, the two were surprised that Luo Chen could keep up with them with ease.

You have to know that one majors in the wind system, and the other majors in the gold system, both are the best in the same level in terms of escape speed. Even when flying at full speed, Luo Chen, who is at the third level of the Nascent Soul, can still keep up and looks like he has plenty of energy to spare.

How could they not be shocked?
……

Baili Qingchuan is not far from the mountain gate of Fenghua Palace.

After all, this place was originally one of the vassal industries of Fenghua Palace, but it was later handed over to Luo Tianzong to help manage it.

With the speed of the three of them, they arrived in a moment.

When we arrived, there was no one in sight on the vast plain.

But in the Daqing Mountain, there was swaying brilliant light and surging spiritual energy, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Obviously, this is a manifestation of the mountain protection formation being pushed to the extreme.

When observing the concentration of spiritual energy, Fairy Fenghua was stunned for a moment.

"How can it be so strong? It's almost close to the spiritual energy concentration of the third palace of my Fenghua Palace. Baili Qingchuan shouldn't have such a high-quality spiritual vein?"

Luo Chen ignored the astonishment on the woman's face and flew directly over the Daqing Mountain.

The familiar divine consciousness spread out, emitting a clear voice. "The Supreme has returned, why don't you welcome him?"

There was silence on the Daqing Mountain, as if everyone inside was holding their breath. Only after Luo Chen's voice came out did there begin to be movement.

A hole appeared in the light curtain of the formation, and Li Yingzhang and Min Longyu walked out together. After seeing Luo Chen, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"The Supreme Elder!"

"You're finally back! Fenghua Palace..."

Luo Chen raised his hand and interrupted Min Longyu, "No need to say more, I already know the details, I just hope nothing happens in the sect."

In the clouds, Fenghua and Jinling watched this scene, feeling a little impatient.

Danzong is wasting time and taking a detour just to take a look at Luotianzong's situation. This is a bit out of perspective.

They knew that most of the Luotian Sect's members were in Lingtian Pass, and there were only a hundred people left here. Even the mountain gate belonged to Fenghua Palace, so even if it was destroyed, it would not matter much.

But the next moment, their eyes widened.

Before Luo Chen made any move, the Daqing Mountain began to shake.

Then, in the astonished gazes of the crowd, a giant black dragon broke through the thick soil and flew out from the depths of the earth, roaring.

When it came in front of Luo Chen, it wagged its tail and was very well behaved.

Then it turned into a black light and sank into Luo Chen's left shoulder.

"You guys continue to maintain the formation and don't let outsiders in."

Luo Chen gave an order, then stepped back and came in front of the two of them.

"Let's go!"

Fairy Fenghua swallowed her saliva and asked hesitantly, "Dan Zong, what was that just now?"

"It's just my spiritual pet." Luo Chen said calmly.

Seeing that he didn't want to explain, Fairy Fenghua didn't need to ask any more questions. Zhenren Jinling next to him had a solemn expression and felt that Luo Chen was a hidden talent.

Even Master Jin Ling has already decided that after the battle, he must tell Senior Brother Shen Yuan about the black dragon.

……

With the full efforts of the three, they finally left Fenghua Domain and set foot in the neighboring Dieyun Domain on the second day.

The lord of Dieyun Territory is Dieyun Sect.

This is not some unknown small sect, it has quite a reputation in the vast Eastern Wilderness.

There are over ten thousand core disciples in the sect, hundreds of thousands of outer disciples, and even three Nascent Soul masters!
Moreover, because the sect brews top-grade spiritual wine, it has a very good relationship with the Mingyuan Holy Land.

The large domains bordering it are the Qidong Domain and the Fenghua Domain.

The former's strength has declined greatly in recent years, and a lot of its interests have been encroached upon by the Dieyun Sect, both openly and secretly. Even some of the Jindan sects in the Qidong area are vassals of the Dieyun Sect.

If Fenghua Palace did not have two palace masters and Fairy Fenghua was not very powerful, I am afraid the outcome would not be any better than that of Qidong Mountain in Qidong Region.

The three of them entered the Dieyun Region.

Soon I noticed something was wrong.

In the land below, there are many low-level cultivators rushing towards Dieyun Sect!

"The Dieyun Sect must have been attacked, so it sent a message for help to all its vassals." Fairy Fenghua said affirmatively.

Jin Ling Zhenren replied confidently: "These small forces are still heading there, which means that Dieyun Sect may not have been lost yet."

Fairy Fenghua nodded, "I have a pretty good personal relationship with Master Caiyun, so I know their situation quite well. Their Grand Elder Master Liuyun, that old man, has changed his lazy ways and practiced hard in recent years, and has already been promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. If we rely on the advantages of the terrain, and if the three masters join forces, these demon kings may not be able to break through quickly."

Luo Chen didn't say anything. He didn't know the two masters Liuyun and Caiyun.

But he had met Taoist Master Xiayun in Shouyang when they were discussing Taoism.

At that time, the other party also bought the heart of the lightless beast from him, saying that he would use it to brew a kind of spiritual wine.

Because the materials were scarce, the other party took the time to return to Dieyun Sect after obtaining them.

This is also the reason why Master Xiayun was not among them when Lingtian Pass was besieged.

Based on observations at the time, Master Xiayun's realm was around the second level of the Nascent Soul, which was neither high nor low, but it was difficult to judge his specific fighting methods.

The seven demon kings have joined forces, and there is also a commander-level existence among them, and they are especially well prepared.

Can just three real people stop them?
Luo Chen was not optimistic.

The area of ​​Dieyun Domain is much larger than that of Fenghua Domain. This is related to the fact that Dieyun Domain has been openly and secretly encroaching on the territory of Qidong Mountain over the years.

The mountain gate of Dieyun Sect was built in the center of the area.

The three of them ran at full speed without stopping for a whole day and night before they arrived outside the Dieyun Sect.

However, the familiar scene told the three that they were late.

The mountains and rivers are still broken and devastated!

There is even a huge pit that stretches shockingly across the foot of Dieyunzong Mountain.

This scene made Fairy Fenghua stand there in a daze, and made Master Jin Ling, who was full of confidence before, somewhat hesitant.

"Let's go down and take a look first!"

Luo Chen said so, and the magic light shield protected his whole body. He crossed the pit and slowly landed on the ground.

The surviving low-level cultivators around him recognized his identity as a Nascent Soul cultivator through the domain pressure he exuded, but the Demon King was also able to transform into a human form, so after Luo Chen showed up, no one dared to approach him.

However, after Fairy Fenghua appeared, a Jindan cultivator who recognized her face exclaimed and ran over.

Fairy Fenghua calmed down and began to ask about the general situation.

Luo Chen and Zhenren Jin Ling looked at each other, then separated and carefully observed the remaining Dieyun Sect.

During this process, black light flowed from Luo Chen's left arm and shoulder, and sank into the ground like soft water.

About a cup of tea later.

The three of them met again to share the intelligence they had gathered.

Luo Chen spoke first.

"There are also capable people among the demon kings! The mountain protection formation of the Dieyun Sect is different from the Fenghua Palace which relies purely on the ground veins. It also involves the clouds above."

Luo Chen pointed to the sky and talked freely.

"The foundation of the formation is the seven major prohibitions. Although the Dieyun Sect is not famous for its formations, it is not inferior to any other formation sect in terms of cloud pattern prohibitions. The formation built with these as the main components is unpredictable once activated. If it can be combined with the wind prohibition and the dark prohibition, even a Yuanying strongman will not be able to find the center of the formation for a moment."

"In this case, to break it with brute force, the difference would have to be at least ten or a hundred times greater."

"According to my observation, the Dieyun Sect's formation was not broken by brute force, but rather by some skill. Above the broken formation base, there are only two auras of magical power. One is complex, and the other is terrifyingly pure. The former is the dominant one, and the latter is the main force!"

This story left the two of them confused.

Even Fairy Fenghua looked at Luo Chen with some suspicion, "The Dieyun Sect asked my sect for advice on wind prohibition in the past. In order to ease the relationship, I did discuss this with them. But why do you see it so clearly, are you also proficient in formations?"

Luo Chen avoided the question and instead explained carefully: "My meaning is very simple. Among the seven monsters, someone is good at breaking the formation. It is precisely because he found the center of the formation that another top-level expert was able to break the formation with one strike!"

After hearing this, the two of them immediately understood.

Jin Ling Zhenren said solemnly: "The one who broke the formation with great magic power must be the commander-in-chief Jin Xiuxian!"

Through this information, a very scary reality was placed before the three people.

The reason why the human race's sects can resist enemies that are several times larger than themselves is often because they rely on the geographical advantages constructed by the formation.

The demon clan is especially not good at formations, which is why over the past hundred years, many forces have been able to hold on for several years or even more than ten years and achieve impressive results.

But now, through Luo Chen's observation, some of the demon kings along the way are good at breaking formations.

Then the other party's speed in destroying the Donghuang Sect would undoubtedly be much faster.

Can they catch up?

Can other sects react?

Can the stronger ones behind, or even the reinforcements from the Mingyuan Sect, come to the rescue in time?

Luo Chen sighed, "I don't think highly of Qidong Mountain, and I am even less optimistic about the leaderless Tianji Zen Sect. Perhaps only the Tiandu Sect can truly stop them."

"So, the place where we fought with them was in Tiandu Sect?" Jin Ling asked.

"Very likely!" Luo Chen nodded.

For a moment, the three of them were silent.

It was too fast. The speed of this group of Demon Kings was so fast that they could be described as swift as the wind and aggressive as fire.

In this silence, Fairy Fenghua suddenly said, "I asked about the situation of the three masters of Dieyun Sect. The most powerful one, Master Liuyun, was killed and his Nascent Soul exploded. The big pit we saw earlier was caused by his explosion. This old man's temper is still as strong as before."

After sighing, the woman's words did not stop, but became heavier.

"I saw the bodies of Xiayun Zhenren and Caiyun. There were holes in their chests and abdomens, just like my junior sister, and their Nascent Souls were missing."

After these words were spoken, even the most dull-witted person would realize that something was wrong.

Especially Luo Chen, whose expression, which had been relatively calm before, had changed drastically at this moment.

The palpitating feeling he had when he first spied on the Jueling Realm instantly emerged in his mind!
