Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2608: Chapter 961: Netherworld Mountain, Yin Yang Tomb (Part 2)

If he wants to inquire about the background of a stranger cultivator, then there will be no secrets at all.

So, Ba Xiu Qi Tian, is he really Alchemy Sect Luo Chen?

Everyone’s minds were still somewhat dazed.

The two share no common ground in their style of actions, cultivation systems, or combat methods, so how did they become connected?

Meng Shentong couldn’t spare the time to think it over and asked, "Even if he is from the Alchemy Sect, so what? He put in a huge effort to help you open the Death Gate, so why would he turn against you and destroy what he has built?"

"I did not intend to make a move. If he were willing to walk through the final stretch with us, it could end well for everyone. But he insisted on leaving early. If he goes to the Outer World and divulges information about the Yin Yang Realm, what should we do then?" Master Li Tian countered.

Without waiting for an answer, he went on to give his own.

"Once the news is leaked, many cultivators will flock to the place where the Great Power fell, causing further turmoil. Even the Holy Land won’t standby. After all, this is their own ancestor’s burial ground."

"To be on the safe side, I had no choice but to resort to this strategy!"

"Let’s go, time waits for no one, we should go in now."

Finishing his words, he offered no further explanation and led the way into the Death Gate.

Underworld!

A crimson moon hung high, desolate and lonely.

The sound of beastly roars seemed to come from afar.

Yet the scene revealed no trace of Luo Chen.

Master Li Tian pursed his lips and muttered inwardly, "Such good nourishment won’t escape."

...

Underworld, outside a mountain cove.

Many decaying beasts were gathered, along with countless skeleton zombies converging from all directions.

But these beings ignorant of danger seemed lost outside the cove, aimlessly wandering in circles.

Inside the mountain cove, Luo Chen was set within the array.

The hand seal on his back slowly smoothed out as his Origin Force circulated.

After a day and a night, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, revealing an expression of relaxation.

"I didn’t expect Master Li Tian’s timing to be so precise!"

He clutched his chest, still feeling the terrifying force of that palm shattering the Protective Qi Armor, shaking his organs.

Was it Gu Technique? Magic Technique? Or something similar to Luo Chen’s Body Technique?

Luo Chen found it hard to distinguish, possibly sensing a mix of them all.

It revealed a small piece of Master Li Tian’s concealed strength, far from being as simple as a usual Gu Cultivator.

This immediately narrowed Luo Chen’s suspicion to him alone.

"Master Li Tian is the Demon Heart Gu Emperor!"

Reasons don’t matter, evidence doesn’t exist; it’s an intuition rising from deep within.

From the intelligence provided by the other party, trying to guide him to suspect others while secretly deploying the Mother and Child Gu trap, Luo Chen had harbored suspicion towards him.

He hadn’t expected the timing of their move to be so perfect.

Luo Chen wasn’t unprepared; it was just that opening the Death Gate took too much out of him.

After a day and night of rest, relying on his strong recovery ability, Luo Chen’s condition was back to around seventy to eighty percent.

Time to move!

Withdrawing the array, he allowed numerous skeleton zombies and even decaying Demon Beasts to rush into the cove.

Watching this, Luo Chen was thoughtful.

"Master Li Tian’s ability to escape control of the previous Demon Heart Gu Emperor, perhaps related to his gains in the Yin Yang Residual Realm!"

While pondering, Sword Qi burst from his fingertips.

All enemies before him shattered into pieces.

From a distance came deafening beastly howls, with powerful ghost demons charging towards him.

Luo Chen’s mind stirred, concealing his entire breath, silently vanishing beneath the blood moon.

Moments later, a ghost demon, three to four hundred meters tall, its flesh rotted away, leaving only a skeleton, stormed into the cove but found nothing.

...

A few figures swiftly moved across the vast Underworld land.

Master Li Tian was in the center, flying while explaining the situation here to the group.

"The Great Power Yin Yang Zi didn’t want to perish alongside the Life and Death Gu planted Savage Beast, so he went insane before dying. He poured all the Holy Land’s power, capturing many demon beasts, experimenting with various Gu Insects."

"Towards the end, he even used Sect disciples as experimental subjects."

"Youli Divine Monarch couldn’t bear to see the Sect harmed by him and drove him away, leading him to the Golden Lion Empire’s location, where he established the Underworld."

"The countless fierce ghostly demon beasts we see now are all products of Yin Yang Zi’s research."

"We must be extremely careful. Among these existences, there are top strong beings comparable to us, even lacking intellect, they are not easy to deal with."

These words did not provoke any rebuttals.

Because during that day and night of traveling, they had already encountered several tricky enemies.

Besides Master Li Tian and Hong Ye Granny, the others took action successively to deal with enemies.

But the sheer number was overwhelming, and after a bout of fights, everyone’s Qi Power was depleted at varying degrees.

Seeing this, allowing such a luxurious expedition team to feel pressured exemplified Yin Yang Zi’s crazed state before his death.

The mess he left behind had the Gate of Life and Death in distress.

This forced the Gate of Life and Death to establish the Yang World above the Underworld, further building a massive empire to suppress the Yin Yang Realm.

Even those Dragon Lion Statues outside were specially arranged to prevent Underworld ghost demons from getting out.

"Another tricky fellow!" Master Li Tian raised an eyebrow.

Their silence shifted to Meng Shentong.

He stayed silent, exchanging a glance with Bai Xuanjun.

Bai Xuanjun took initiative to leave the team, facing the approaching threat.

It was a ghost demon resembling a mountainous giant ape, its body large and sturdy, yet lacking flesh, leaving only stark white bones.

Bai Xuanjun soared into the sky, launching bone spikes from his body.

Each bone spike impacting the mountainous giant ape produced deafening booming sounds.

Master Li Tian marveled, "The White Bone Sect’s Bone Spike Gu holds such power?"

Meng Shentong laughed, "That’s due to Bai Xuanjun’s prowess; ordinary Bone Spike Gu wouldn’t be so lethal."

The damage from the bone spikes was indeed impressive.

From when Bai Xuanjun took action, moments later, that mountainous giant ape was dismantled.

Soon after, Bai Xuanjun caught up.

"It’s done."

He spoke calmly, yet the unrestrained Mana Fluctuation around him revealed the exertion of effort in this brief fight.

Master Li Tian praised him then solemnly stated, "The threats encountered along the way are but appetizers. The real challenge awaits in the Yin Yang Tomb!"

Everyone was baffled.

But three days later, staring at the towering mountain piled with white bones and endless ghost demons, everyone let out gasps.

What had Yin Yang Zi done before his demise?

Unmindful of their emotions, Master Li Tian promptly issued orders.

"Everyone, make a joint effort, escort me into Netherworld Mountain, the Yin Yang Tomb is within!"

All agreed in unison, showcasing their techniques.

Sword leaves flew, purple light surged, and a hundred-meter-tall white bone giant crawled from the earth, clearing obstacles.

Hong Ye Granny rushed ahead, holding a compass, unraveling several decayed arrays.

Meng Shentong followed Master Li Tian, eliminating every nearby ghost demon.

Qi Power drained at an unimaginable pace.

Meanwhile, their figures gradually vanished into the depths of Netherworld Mountain.

Amidst incessant ghost howls and wolf cries, a silhouette emerged outside the mountain.

"Is this where the Great Power fell?"

Luo Chen squinted, capturing a wisp of ghost demon breath, attaching it to himself.

Disguising as these ghost demon breaths was why he could travel unimpeded.

But whether to enter Netherworld Mountain next was a point of hesitation for him.

Just because this mountain emitted a nerve-wracking breath.

As though an ancient giant beast was slumbering within, ready to awaken and devour everything at any moment.

Yet the hesitation lasted only a moment before Luo Chen charged in decisively.

"Master Li Tian, don’t die, you have to wait for me!"
