Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2278: Chapter 836: The Black King Returns, Pursuit Across Ten Thousand Miles

True Master Jin Ling had already decided that after this battle, he must report the matter of the black giant dragon to Senior Shenyuan.

…

Under full effort, the three finally left the Fenghua District on the second day and stepped into the adjacent Dieyun Domain.

The master of the Dieyun Domain is the Dieyun Sect.

This is not a little-known obscure sect; it has quite a reputation in the vast Eastern Wasteland.

Within the sect, the core disciples exceed ten thousand, and the number of external sect disciples is in the hundreds of thousands. There are even three Nascent Soul experts!

Moreover, because of the spirit wine brewed within the sect, they maintain a good relationship with the Mingyuan Sacred Land.

The Domains bordering it are the Seven Cave Domain and the Fenghua Domain.

In recent years, the strength of the former has declined significantly, and Dieyun Sect has overtly and covertly encroached on much of their interests, even turning some Golden Core Great Sects in the Seven Cave Domain into vassals of the Dieyun Sect.

If it weren’t for the Fenghua Palace having two palace masters, and Fenghua Fairy’s strength being quite formidable, they probably wouldn’t fare any better than the Seven Cave Mountain in the Seven Cave Domain.

The three entered the Dieyun Domain.

They quickly sensed something amiss.

In the land below, many low-order cultivators were rushing towards the Dieyun Sect!

“The Dieyun Sect must have been attacked, which is why they are sending a distress message to all their vassals,” Fenghua Fairy said with certainty.

True Master Jin Ling replied confidently, “These minor forces are still heading there, which means the Dieyun Sect might not have fallen yet.”

Fenghua Fairy nodded, “I have a decent personal relationship with True Master Cai Yun and am quite aware of their situation. Their Supreme Elder, Master Liu Yun, that old rascal, has revised his lazy ways over the years and diligently cultivated to the Middle Stage Nascent Soul. If relying on geographic advantage, joined by the three True Masters together, these Demon Emperors might not breach it quickly.”

Luo Chen did not speak; he didn’t know True Masters Liu Yun or Cai Yun.

But he had met Master Xia Yun during the Shouyang Discourse.

At that time, Xia Yun had even purchased the heart of a Lightless Beast from him, claiming it was for brewing a spirit wine.

Because of the rarity of the material, Xia Yun returned to the Dieyun Sect shortly after obtaining it.

This was also why Master Xia Yun wasn’t present when Lingtian Pass was besieged.

Judging from his observations then, Master Xia Yun’s realm was about the Nascent Soul Second Layer, not particularly high or low, but specific combat skills were hard to judge.

The seven great Demon Emperors banded together, with even Commander Levels among them, and came prepared.

Could mere three True Masters hold them off?

Luo Chen wasn’t optimistic.

The area of the Dieyun Domain was much larger than the Fenghua Domain, related to the Dieyun Domain’s overt and covert encroachment upon the territories of the Seven Cave Mountain over the years.

The mountain gate of the Dieyun Sect was established in the center of the domain.

Under full speed, the three did not stop at all and spent an entire day and night to finally reach outside the Dieyun Sect.

However, what they saw before them told the three they were too late.

Once again, it was a scene of shattered mountains and rivers, a land full of scars!

There was even a massive pit, shockingly lying at the foot of the Dieyun Sect’s mountain.

This scene left Fenghua Fairy standing in place, and the previous confidence of True Master Jin Ling was cast into doubt.

“Let’s go down and take a look!”

Luo Chen said as such, with his Mana Light Shield protecting his entire body, crossed over the pit, and slowly descended to the land.

Around him, some surviving low-order cultivators recognized him as a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator by the domain’s pressure he emitted; however, as Demon Emperors could also take human form, no one dared to approach upon Luo Chen’s appearance.

After Fenghua Fairy appeared, a Golden Core Cultivator who recognized her ran over in surprise after a shout.

Fenghua Fairy composed herself and began to inquire about the general situation.

Luo Chen and True Master Jin Ling exchanged glances and each went their separate ways to closely observe the remains of the Dieyun Sect.

During this process, black light flowed on Luo Chen’s left shoulder and sank into the ground like water.

About a cup of tea’s time later.

The three gathered again to share the collected information.

Luo Chen spoke first.

“Among the Demon Emperors, there are talented ones! The Mountain Protection Array of the Dieyun Sect, unlike Fenghua Palace which purely relies on earth veins, also involves the cloud layers above.”

Luo Chen pointed to the sky and spoke eloquently.

“The foundation of array path is the seven prohibitions. Though the Dieyun Sect is not famous for arrays, in the Cloud Pattern Restriction, they are not weaker than any Great Sect of array path. The grand formation they construct as its main part is unpredictable once activated. If combined with Wind Restriction and Obscure Restriction, even Nascent Soul experts can’t pinpoint the array eye in a short time.”

“In such cases, it often takes tenfold or even hundredfold difference in power to brute force break it.”

“According to my observations, the array of the Dieyun Sect wasn’t broken by brute force but by skill. On the broken array base, there are only two magical auras. One is chaotic, the other terrifyingly pure. The former dominated, the latter was the main force!”

This narration left the two in a fog.

Even Fenghua Fairy looked at Luo Chen with some suspicion, “The Dieyun Sect once consulted my sect on Wind Restriction. To ease relations, I did indeed exchange insights with them on this. But how come you see it so clearly? Could it be that you also have a mastery of array path?”

Luo Chen evaded the discussion and instead explained carefully: “My point is simple, among those seven demons, someone is skilled in breaking arrays, and it was precisely because he found the array eye that another top expert could strike to shatter the array!”

With this explanation, the two immediately understood.

True Master Jin Ling said gravely, “The one who broke the array with great power must be this Great Commander, Jinxiu Immortal!”

This information laid a frightening reality in front of the three.

The human sects rely on the geographic advantage constructed by arrays to resist enemies many times their numbers.

Especially since the Demon Clan is not adept in arrays, leading to many forces holding out for years or even over a decade.

But now, through Luo Chen’s observation, among these Demon Emperors, there’s someone skilled in breaking arrays.

Their speed in destroying the sects of the Eastern Wasteland is undoubtedly much quicker.

Can they catch up?

Can other sects react in time?

Can the reinforcements of stronger allies and even aid from the Dark Abyss Sect arrive in time?

Luo Chen sighed, “I don’t have high hopes for Seven Cave Mountain, and even less for the leaderless Tianji Zen Sect. Perhaps only the Tiandu Sect can truly hold them back.”

“So, will the place where we face them be at the Tiandu Sect?” Jin Ling asked.

“Quite possibly!” Luo Chen nodded.

For a while, the three fell into silence.

The speed was too fast. This team comprised of Demon Emperors moved too swiftly—it could be described as its swift like the wind, its invasion like fire.

In this silence, Fenghua Fairy suddenly spoke, “I inquired about the situation of the three True Masters of the Dieyun Sect. The strongest, Master Liu Yun, left no corpse behind; the Nascent Soul self-detonated, and the big pit we saw earlier was caused by his self-detonation. That old man’s temper is still so fierce, just like in the past.”

With a sigh, the woman’s words did not stop; instead, they grew more solemn.

“I saw the corpses of Master Xia Yun and Cai Yun. They had holes in their chests and abdomens, just like my junior sister, and their Nascent Souls were missing.”

At these words, even the dullest person would sense something amiss.

Especially Luo Chen, whose expression had already changed drastically from the previously calm demeanor.

In his mind, the dread he felt when spying into the Dead Spirit Domain instantly resurfaced!
