Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster-Chapter 926 - 378: Thunder Prison Array, Suppressing Wang Yuan
Chapter 926 -378: Thunder Prison Array, Suppressing Wang Yuan
Inside the Ninth Mountain.
Dark clouds circled and gathered, then dissipated; so gloomy it seemed as if a black curtain shrouded a thousand-mile radius.
Silver serpents intertwined; thunder cracked sharply.
Occasional thunderstorms appeared, becoming more frequent and denser the deeper into the region one ventured.
Even Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, once struck, could suffer minor injuries.
If one encountered those incessant, widespread thunderstorms, even the strongest Foundation Establishment True Cultivator would fall within them.
Perhaps only Golden Core Ascendant Masters could barely withstand it.
But that was only a possibility.
This was the might of heaven and earth’s nature!
Even if it was not deliberately targeting powerful cultivators drawing in power, it was not something ordinary people could underestimate.
It was hard to imagine, if the rumored Nascent Soul Tribulation occurred, what level the Heavenly punishment through thunder would reach.
The Tribulation Thunders produced within such punishments were entirely different from normal thunder and lightning; even Foundation Establishment Golden Core cultivators, should they touch it, would perish!
Whoosh!
Amidst the mountain waist, the sound of piercing through the air could be heard.
Forceful winds surge; pebbles were flung in all directions.
A figure suddenly halted its steps, its Spirit Qi Wings slowly retracting behind it.
Amidst the swirling mists, the true face of the cultivator was revealed.
Distinct facial features, tightly sealed lips, and in his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes lingered an inerasable chill.
“Blood Demon!”
“A False Core Stage Cultivator!”
“No wonder none of the ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who encountered him lived to tell the tale.”
“He’s armed with magic items for both offense and defense and possesses the elusive Blood Escape Technique, leaving virtually no weakness.”
“If it weren’t for my tactics that initially created distance, using Vine Technique, Earth Rock Technique, and the Thousand Peaks to entangle and suppress him, followed by launching the Fierce Sun Technique with my Xuanhuo Sword, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to harm him in the slightest.”
Luo Chen opened his mouth and exhaled a long breath of turbid Qi.
The battle just now appeared to have him with the upper hand from start to finish, pressing the opponent the entire time.
But that was just an appearance.
The opponent’s magic items and methods were no less than his, and due to the vast gap in their realms, there was an insurmountable chasm between them.
If it had been a head-on fight, standing firm without retreat.
Even if Luo Chen had exhausted all his trump cards, after hundreds of exchanges, he certainly would no longer be a match for the opponent.
His only advantage was perhaps his flying speed.
The speed he burst forth just now hadn’t even reached its limit; he had used only seventy percent of it.
In other words, if Luo Chen didn’t want to fight the opponent, he could have created a gap from the beginning and left the Blood Demon behind.
However, doing so would mean he’d always have an extra pursuer behind him.
A bone-deep nuisance, most vexing!
Therefore, Luo Chen laid out numerous deadly moves, attempting to severely injure the other party.
Killing him would naturally be best, but if not possible, a deterrence would suffice.
Unfortunately, the opponent had a Red Silk Defense Magic Item in hand.
Luo Chen did not accomplished a complete victory.
“But now, he shouldn’t dare to chase after me anymore, right?”
Standing on the mountain waist, Luo Chen used his Spirit Vision to gaze towards the path he came from.
Restricted by the environment, his Spirit Consciousness could not probe far, only a few miles away.
But his Thousand Mile Vision had no such limitations.
Even if his view was obstructed by the terrain and vegetation and he couldn’t see clearly, he could still estimate the general area.
After a short while, under Luo Chen’s concentrated gaze, he vaguely sensed the presence of his pursuer.
Within the dense forest, a Glint flew close to the ground, gradually leaving the Ninth Mountain.
Seeing this scene, Luo Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he did not fear the other party, to needlessly incur such a powerful enemy was ultimately unfavorable.

After all, he had important matters to attend to.
“Speaking of which, exactly where does that person come from?”
“The appearance, voice, and even height and body shape were all disguised. It could be a Rogue Cultivator trying to avoid trouble, but it seemed more like a Great Sect True Disciple!”
“A common Rogue Cultivator wouldn’t be able to cultivate to the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, let alone the temporary realm of False Core. Anyone with such achievements would certainly be a well-known figure in the Yu Ding Realm!”
“But if it were a Great Sect True Disciple, they would typically only target specific individuals, not provoke everyone indiscriminately.”
“Could it be they are intentionally creating a web of deception?”
Luo Chen recalled the various methods the other had suddenly displayed.
For a moment, he couldn’t find any clues.
The opponent hadn’t revealed any distinctive Cultivation Techniques or moves, and the Magic Flying Sword was also of the more common kind.
The only conspicuous thing was the Red Silk Defense Magic Item.
But such an item, he had never heard of before.
“Right, just now when I launched a series of powerful attacks, he revealed a flaw. If it weren’t for the thunderstorm’s arrival, I could have at least injured him!”
“If a False Core Stage Cultivator had cultivated a defense magic item like the Red Silk for over a hundred years, there is no way such a flaw would have surfaced.”
“In other words, the time he obtained the Red Silk item hasn’t been long, which is why…”
Luo Chen’s train of thought halted.
This slight discovery still wasn’t enough to discern the other’s true identity.
Shaking his head, Luo Chen popped an Ascendant Grade Dragon Rise Pill into his mouth.
He carved a cave in the mountain wall with his Sword Pill, intending to enter and meditate, but he frowned and stepped back.
The body of the Ninth Mountain itself contained a formidable Power of Thunder, which wasn’t suitable for peaceful cultivation.
Shaking his head, Luo Chen took out a Cloud Mist Illusion Array to conceal his figure.
He sat on a flat rocky platform on the mountain waist, meditating and recuperating.
His storage of Spirit Power was indeed incredibly dense, not inferior to any Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, and he was daring enough to battle even a False Core Stage Cultivator.
But that didn’t mean he would charge in recklessly or run wild in the Ninth Mountain.
He must always maintain his condition at its peak.
That way, he could face any enemy without any concerns!
Time slowly passed by.
Merely refining the elixirs, without involving the inhalation and exhalation of Heaven and Earth Qi, naturally the time passed quickly.
