Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2974 - 1098: Annihilation with a Single Finger, Divine Perception Showdown

Millennia after the birth of the Oblivion Sea!

During usual times, the dark waters of the sea possess a formidable corrosive power, especially against cultivators’ protective shields.

Relying on this, this sea area once became one of the protective barriers of the Yuan Mo Sect.

And once the Land of Fallen Demons is activated, the Void Burning Wind that damages cultivators’ divine souls will spew above the Oblivion Sea, which is truly terrifying.

Even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators dare not touch it.

Calculating the time, over three hundred years have passed since the last activation of the Land of Fallen Demons, long exceeding the activation pattern previously detected by North Sea cultivators.

Yet this time, the Land of Fallen Demons has not activated as ordinarily as before.

It is speculated by some that it might be related to when the Demon Clan broke out from Ye Mo Sky, drawing away a large amount of earth qi from the Oblivion Sea.

Demon Monk Kongchan is one among such speculators.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sneaked into Ye Mo Sky along with people like Tai Sui and Jiao Emperor, just to find a way to retrieve the earth qi and reactivate the Oblivion Sea.

"You said they went inside?" Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, asking softly.

Kongchan nodded solemnly, "Indeed, I personally saw them go in."

"Why not stop them?"

Kongchan showed a bitter smile, "It’s not that I didn’t want to, but they acted too quickly. This Black Demon Gu Shaoshang, who has wandered the chaotic North Sea for hundreds of years, has an exceedingly cautious nature. His sister’s divine consciousness is astonishing; once you get close, you’ll be detected. Most importantly... the magic item in their hands is suspected to be a spiritual treasure, so I dare not act rashly."

Suspected to be a spiritual treasure?

Luo Chen took a deep breath; the Black Demon Pot and True Sun Crown are not merely suspected to be spiritual treasures.

If the spirit of the Refining Heaven Cauldron didn’t deceive him back then, among the many precious items refined by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch in his life, three are transcendental spiritual treasures, reputedly known as Heaven Connecting Spiritual Treasures!

In Luo Chen’s current understanding, a spiritual treasure is a magic item that births an artifact spirit with a great degree of autonomy.

Whether it’s tracking attacks or automatic protection, manipulating them is far more adept than handling magical treasure true artifacts.

And a Heaven Connecting Spiritual Treasure is special precisely due to the term "Heaven Connecting."

Such items are not merely endowed with spirituality.

They have the function of amplifying the power of laws and boosting potency!

The same divine power, whether exerted by oneself or through a Heaven Connecting Spiritual Treasure, manifests vastly different powers!

The Black Demon Pot and True Sun Crown are Heaven Connecting Spiritual Treasures alongside the Refining Heaven Cauldron.

Luo Chen dispatched people to seek out the Gu Siblings, partly to eliminate all roots, but also with a thought to seize these two precious items.

Back then, due to the Nine Refinement Beacon Fire and Nirvana Sacred Fire struggles, he missed acquiring the Refining Heaven Cauldron.

Even though he later nurtured and developed the Yuan Tu Sword, this blade of slaughter, it ultimately wasn’t a Heaven Connecting Spiritual Treasure.

With ascension imminent, how could Luo Chen be content with a meager arsenal?

"Let’s move, enter!"

Luo Chen spearheaded, flying directly into the Oblivion Sea.

Kongchan was initially taken aback, but still gritted his teeth and followed.

...

Deep within the Oblivion Sea, in an area of towering skeletons.

A figure was busy setting something up, and next to him was a delicate and petite woman.

Seeing her brother so urgent, Gu Xiaolian finally couldn’t help but speak, "Brother, do we really have to go back?"

Gu Shaoshang’s voice was husky, replying without raising his head, "We must go back!"

Gu Xiaolian wore a worried expression, "But why do I feel it’s unwise to return to the Land of Fallen Demons. Isn’t there a saying in the North Sea that a cultivator should only enter the Land of Fallen Demons once in a lifetime?"

Gu Shaoshang snorted coldly, "A saying is just a rumor. Have you forgotten that Feileng Fairy went into the Land of Fallen Demons twice?"

Seeing that his sister was about to retort, he finished his arrangements nearly, straightening up to look at her.

"Xiao Lian, you must understand, the North Sea today has no place for us, and staying in the outer world, sooner or later, we’ll be targeted by Great Divine Transformation Powers."

Gu Xiaolian pouted, her chubby baby face puffed up, "You went overboard, crazily killing humans and demons, using their blood, flesh, bones, and souls to forge the Black Demon Pot."

"It’s unrelated to that." Gu Shaoshang shook his head, "The Black Demon Pot and your True Sun Crown have stood out too much in recent years, making many suspect they are spiritual treasures. This alone is enough to tempt Great Divine Transformation Powers. If they know these two are Heaven Connecting Spiritual Treasures, the entire North Sea, both human and demon clans will go mad because of them."

Gu Xiaolian blinked her eyes, is that so?

Thinking carefully, it seemed to be true.

Although she could only harness a fraction of the True Sun Crown’s power, with just that fraction, she stood invincible within the Nascent Soul Stage realm.

Her brother Gu Shaoshang was even more of a natural genius, continuously tapping into the Black Demon Pot’s potential, ascending to the sixth layer of the Nascent Soul Stage in just three hundred years, a step away from the Great Cultivator realm.

"Xiao Lian!"

"What is it?" Facing her brother’s suddenly solemn demeanor, Gu Xiaolian was a bit unresponsive.

Gu Shaoshang’s originally handsome face turned somewhat grim.

"Do you still remember father’s death back in Ming Zhao Heaven?"

Gu Xiaolian was stunned, then her face turned sorrowful.

"I remember, it was by the Independent Cultivator Luo Hai..."

"No, his name is Luo Chen! He is now one of the few top-tier powerhouses in the world, even having slain a Divine Transformation Great Power from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect!"

Gu Shaoshang stated each word firmly, his speech laced with immeasurable hatred, while he recited Luo Chen’s exploits like the back of his hand.

Clearly, he never put down that deep grudge from beginning to end.
