Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 949: Chapter 387: Cannon Fire Scorches the Earth, Ten Thousand Sword Killing Formation, Mountain Collapse Reappears, Canyon Collapses_3

Luo Chen’s expression remained calm.

“Nothing much, just thinking that it’s time for us to set off. How’s your recovery?”

Chu Kui patted his chest, “No big issue, what about you?”

“Then let’s get going!”

As the two of them were about to leave, Xu Huanzhen and Duan Feng wanted to say something but hesitated.

In the end, they could only silently watch as the two departed.

On the way to The Eighth Mountain battlefield, Chu Kui said regretfully, “It would have been great if Min Longyu were here.”

Luo Chen uttered a sound of agreement.

With the strength of the two of them and after careful planning in advance, they could indeed avoid top-tier fighters and comfortably hunt down ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

But if they encountered entities at the eight or ninth layer of Foundation Establishment or a slightly larger force, they still had to retreat.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t win; they just didn’t want to waste too much time.

But if they had an Array Master like Min Longyu, the three of them together wouldn’t hesitate to confront anyone.

“How many Merit Points do we have now?” asked Chu Kui.

“Six thousand one hundred,” Luo Chen replied.

Hearing this number, Chu Kui was invigorated again.

The gap to ten thousand was not too far now!

If they had good luck these next few days and caught a few stray Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, maybe they would quickly have enough.

Compared to his optimism, Luo Chen was not so hopeful.

Though they relied on each other, and their coordination was becoming increasingly tacit, it was a fact that their condition was constantly deteriorating.

On the first day, they still dared to break into camps and annihilate groups, hunting down nine major Foundation Establishments.

On the second day, they could only roam around the range of Ten Thousand Li of Yellow Sands and hunt relatively weaker ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

Today, both of their conditions were less than eighty percent of their peak state.

When selecting opponents later, they would have to be extra cautious.

By the time they reached the front line,

the battle between the two sides had already fully ignited.

Just like last time, it was still the Golden Core Ascendant Masters who took the initiative to break the Array.

However, unlike before, the original seven Golden Core Ascendant Masters who made a move had become ten!

On The Eighth Mountain, there were also six or seven Golden Core Ascendant Masters resisting.

Among them, some displayed overwhelming Sword Qi, capable of facing three opponents alone!

Those were Golden Core Period Sword Cultivators, surely from Yu Ding Sword Sect!

However, Sword Cultivators had strong offenses but weak defenses. After several interceptions, the defensive Array on The Eighth Mountain was still broken.

Even the Luo Yun Sect deliberately summoned thunderstorms to completely destroy the foundation of the Big Formation, cutting off the Sword Sect from any thoughts of repairing their defensive Formation.

After the Array’s destruction, the remaining process was the same as before.

The Luo Yun Sect’s Puppet Army was collectively mobilized.

Ready to bombard with cannon fire!

One could imagine that after several rounds of cannon fire bombardment, The Eighth Mountain’s defensive formation would surely be disrupted, then it would be the same situation as before, with both sides engaging in close combat.

However!

Just as the Luo Yunzong Puppet Army emerged, “stars” suddenly rose from The Eighth Mountain.

To be precise, they were not stars!

But Sword Pills!

Over a hundred Sword Pills merged with each other and sketched an ambiguous Formation Map in the void.

The moment they saw that Formation Map, Elder Linghu from the Luo Yun Sect’s face changed dramatically.

“Ten thousand Swords Array!”

In his shock, he thunderously struck with his palm, trying to prevent the Sword Array from forming.

However, before his palm imprint reached, a beam of Sword Qi soared into the sky.

Hisss!

The giant palm imprint instantly dissipated.

A young daoist, clear and graceful, flew out from The Eighth Mountain.

“Friend Linghu, let the younger generation fight their own battles. If you take action, it would hardly be gracious.”

Seeing this person, Linghu Jie’s expression darkened.

“Kaiyang!”

Ascendant Master Kaiyang smiled faintly, “Now, shall we make a move or quietly observe the changes?”

Linghu Jie fell silent.

As the two were conversing, attacks from both sides had already taken shape.

The Luo Yun Sect’s Puppet Army released fierce cannon fire, indiscriminately bombarding the congregated crowd on The Eighth Mountain.

At the same time, the Ten Thousand Swords Array constructed by the Sword Sect also erupted with fierce light, emitting myriad Sword Qi that rained down like showers.

The Four Sects Alliance Army, which intended to take advantage of the situation, suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

By then, both sides were in a dilemma.

But oddly enough, above the Nine Heavens, thunderclouds gathered, and mournful winds howled fiercely.

Endless silver serpents flickered.

Seeing this scene, Linghu Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

Heavenly Thunder gathered, ensuring the Ten Thousand Swords Array could not last.

Sure enough, moments later, those Sword Pills flew back.

Under the bombardment of Heavenly Thunder, Sword Pills, as objects of mental and spiritual refinement, could not withstand any damage.

With this development, the sides were back on an even playing field.

“Kill!”

“Everyone, kill!”

Following the command of the two great Ascendant Masters, two streams of Cultivators clashed violently against one another.

In a corner,

Luo Chen and Chu Kui looked up with reverence at the gradually dispersing Sword Array.

A hundred people forming an Array, invincible in battle.

Even Golden Core Ascendant Masters had to step back three feet.

Luckily, time and terrain were on their side.

Observing the suddenly erupting battle, Chu Kui’s heart trembled as well.

“Good thing I joined the Luo Tian Creed and can move freely with you. Otherwise, in a battle of this scale, the name Tian Kuizi would have been nothing but a joke.”

Luo Chen’s face stiffened into a smile.

The foundation of the Ascendant Sect was beyond their imagination.

Originally they had thought the Puppet Army was invincible.

They didn’t expect the Sword Cultivators to have the formation tactic in their hands.

However, given the special terrain of Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain, the Ten Thousand Swords Array could not sustain itself for too long, and now they were back to their most familiar battle scene.

After initially clashing, the Cultivator streams began to continually divide into battle groups.

In no time, there were over ten thousand separate small skirmishes unfolding.
