Chapter 549: Endless Loose Ends, Ambush and Trap

Longevity Begins with an Alchemist Grandmaster, Main Text Volume, Chapter 559: Endless Loose Ends, Ambush and Trap. Under the deep sea surface, a ghostly light was flying fast and slow.

The surging ocean currents seemed to have no effect on this person, but instead accelerated his speed.

The ghostly light stopped from time to time, raising its head to look at the sky.

In the sky, it seemed empty, but under his gaze, one person and one bird could be clearly seen.

Even if the seagull's speed was fast, this ghostly light could keep up with the other party's speed by stopping and pausing.

If there were a human cultivator with high vision here, they could easily notice that this person was using the famous Five Elements Escape Art—Water Escape Art!

Water Escape Art, in terms of cultivation difficulty, is second only to Earth Escape Art among the Five Elements Escape Arts.

As long as there is a corresponding secret manual, Foundation Establishment cultivators can learn it.

Even, some talented Qi Refining cultivators have the opportunity to master this escape art.

However, this art, like Earth Escape Art, is easy to learn but difficult to master.

He saw very clearly that the Golden Core cultivator had an unstable aura, which looked like his injuries had not recovered.

Therefore, as long as the other party stopped to heal, he would quietly sneak in and kill him with one blow!

Constant deliberation made Yuan Yin, a rare Third-Tier Perfection demon of the Hidden Dust Sand clan, deeply realize the tremendous risk contained in the next thing he was about to do.

In short, they landed on a small island that faintly emitted thin spiritual energy.

Yuan Yin was a bit unwilling, and even hoped that one or two powerful Demon Kings would suddenly appear on the road ahead to intercept this person.

In terms of escape speed, it is not as good as Gold Escape Art, in terms of explosive power, it is not as good as Fire Escape Art, and in terms of concealment, it is not as good as Wood Escape Art.

On the fourth day, in a sea area called Sheluo, the Tian Yu Xuan Fighting Gull slowly descended from the sky.

Perhaps the four days of continuous travel made the Tian Yu Xuan Fighting Gull tired, or perhaps the Golden Core cultivator's injuries could no longer be suppressed.

"And my Hidden Dust Sand clan, just parasitic spirits, only have this talent for concealment. Even if I am already Third-Tier Perfection, I have only realized the two means of Water Escape Art and Ten Thousand Pearl Sand Flower. If it is broken, I will definitely not be his opponent."

"My chance has come!"

But clearly, the master who cast this escape art had already cultivated this escape art to the stage of being able to control it as he wished, which could be called perfection.

Under the sea, Yuan Yin held his breath and concentrated, also slowing down his speed, maintaining a distance of ten miles from that gull.

Any closer, and with the concealment talent of his Hidden Dust Sand clan, it would be easy to be discovered, especially by a human Golden Core cultivator known for his powerful soul.

Xuanyan Demon Emperor's remains, a human Golden Core cultivator who can be parasitized.

"Could it be, are we really going to watch the other party leave?"

He had already made psychological preparations to flee to the endless ocean if one blow failed.

"If I didn't find the wrong person, this person must be the mastermind behind Tian Yu Xuan Island."

Also don't be too powerful, in case killing this person is not good.

Even the Tian Yu Xuan Fighting Gull known for its flight speed couldn't shake off the master of this escape light.

Looking at the Tian Yu Xuan Fighting Gull flapping its wings slowly, and the tiny figure standing on the bird's back, Yuan Yin's micro-light trembled.

"Although this person is only at the Golden Core middle stage, being able to roam freely in the Xuanyan sea area and enslave two Third-Tier Demon Kings, his means must be outstanding."

Suddenly!

"Only one chance!"

Yuan Yin's mood began to sink constantly.

"They finally stopped."

"Not only acting unscrupulously in the Xuanyan sea area, but also daring to participate in the battle of Xuanyan Island!"

He never saw that person stop to heal, and had a posture of flying straight back to the human territory.

It was also on the endless sea, naturally like a fish in water, with fast speed.

Thinking of these two points, Yuan Yin felt a fire in his heart!

One day, two days...

Time passed slowly, and after a day and a night, the Tian Yu Xuan Fighting Gull seemed to feel tired, and its flight speed slowed down.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Yin felt excited!

"In this way, I only have one chance. Take advantage of his lack of preparation and kill him in one fell swoop!"

Ten miles was the closest tracking distance.

In that case, he couldn't launch a sudden attack.

Looking at the figure of the Tian Yu Xuan Fighting Gull, the master of this escape light had thoughts surging in his mind.

Contradictory moods rose and fell in his imagination.

Traveling far on this demon-filled sea, such a state won't do.

Yuan Yin felt excited and quietly approached the small island.

"Hehe, the Demon Spider Crab clan still wants to capture this person and snatch back the Demon Emperor remains, without asking about my Yuan Yin's thoughts."

"Once!"

"If I kill him and seize his belongings, perhaps I can use his resources to help me break through to the Transformation stage and cultivate the Great Dao with a human body!"

He didn't enter the island directly, but slowly dispersed his ghostly light, contacting the nearby Hidden Dust Sand.

Deep in the seabed, streaks of ghostly light swallowed and spat as if responding to him.

Some low-tier Hidden Dust Sand, under his order, slowly floated to the shallow sea to check the movements of that human Golden Core.

About when the moon was in the middle of the sky, Yuan Yin finally made up his mind.

The opportunity is at this moment, don't miss it!

The ghostly light trembled, rising from the sea surface, drifting toward the nameless small island like a firefly.

Just when he was about to approach the nameless small island, his footsteps paused suddenly.

"Not right!"

"Always feel something is not right!"

Yuan Yin couldn't say what was not right, but the feeling of a whim made him wander outside the island.

After some hesitation, he finally decided to slow down first.

"Anyway, I have already recorded this person's aura, continuing to track, investigating where he stays, and then planning is not impossible."

He believed in this feeling of his very much.

It was precisely because of this feeling that he had avoided disasters time and time again in his hundreds of years of cultivation.

It allowed him, from the lowest and weakest Hidden Dust Sand that any human or demon beast could hunt, to cultivate to Third-Tier Perfection step by step.

If it were really for this matter, and he ended up here, that would not be worth it.

His figure began to retreat slowly.

However!

A clear and bright voice came from the island.

"Having friends coming from afar, isn't it a joy. Fellow Daoist, since you are here, why not show yourself."

Under the moonlight, a man wearing a wide white Daoist robe, with long hair scattered behind and only a wooden hairpin inserted, came into view.

He seemed to be walking on the moon, his eyes cold and sharp, like a bottomless cold pool, looking at himself coldly from a distance of several miles.

Yuan Yin's heart jumped wildly, and a feeling of extreme danger surfaced in his heart.

He could no longer care about talking to the other party and fell into the sea surface immediately.

As soon as he touched the seawater, he was about to launch the Water Escape Art.

But the next moment, a stream of light on the sea surface washed over like a waterfall, and it permeated instantly.

In the four directions of southeast, northwest, four pillars of light rose into the sky.

Vaguely, one could see a Jiao, a Gull, and a Shadow standing in one direction each, bathing in the light pillars. The last light pillar was held in the hands of the person on the island.

With the combined force of the four directions, this piece of sea suddenly seemed to have become a solid and unbreakable land.

No matter how Yuan Yin urged his spiritual power, he couldn't explode with rapid speed.

In other words, the Water Escape Art was broken.

"What kind of array is this, why does it seem to have sealed this piece of sea?"

Yuan Yin's heart was terrified, the Water Escape Art he was most proficient in could not be displayed, which for him was even more desperate than the sky collapsing.

This was his reliance for hiding and cultivating in the Xuanyan sea area for hundreds of years!

But at the moment of life and death, even if he was desperate, he couldn't sit and wait for death.

Without thinking, he rushed upward.

No way into the sea, then go to the sky.

However, the person on the island slightly fiddled with the compass in his hand, and four more light pillars bloomed.

From every angle, he blocked the direction he wanted to escape.

Yuan Yin's figure paused, making an indistinct human sound.

"Fellow Daoist, it is better to forgive when one can, I haven't done anything unfavorable to you, just happened to come here, why not let me go?"

Luo Chen curled his lips, showing a look of sarcasm.

"Following me for several days, and sneaking around where I stay. Why, do you really have to wait until you do something to me before I can talk to you?"

Yuan Yin's heart sank.

Although he didn't know when his tracks were exposed, today's matter, I'm afraid it couldn't be settled easily.

Since that's the case!

He became ruthless in his heart, and a massive momentum permeated.

It looked like demon energy, and also like flesh and blood energy, but faintly, it emitted a clear and ethereal spiritual energy.

Sensing that massive momentum, Luo Chen couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

This kind of momentum was no less than the clan leader-level existences of the Five Great Royal Demon Crab clans.

Third-Tier Perfection demon beast?

"Old man Yuan Yin, a powerhouse of the Glow clan, do you really want to fight me to the death?"

Glow clan!

Hearing this name, Luo Chen's expression tightened instantly.

This is an extremely powerful type of demon beast in the endless North Sea.

Born in the sea, inhabiting empty and hazy places, feeding on extreme lights of various colors.

Legend has it that in the place of the meta-magnetic divine light in the Arctic Night Mo Heaven, there are a large number of Glow beasts gathered.

Ordinary cultivators simply dare not provoke this beast.

Looking at Yuan Yin's round body that constantly emitted ghostly light, it indeed looked a bit like the legendary Glow beast.

This generation of demon beasts is a powerful existence that can be mentioned in the same breath as human cultivators of the same tier.

If he really fights to the death with the other party, it's hard to say whether he will win or lose, but once the commotion becomes big, the powerful demon beasts in this Sheluo sea area will not sit idly by.

Under an uncertain expression, Luo Chen pressed the compass.

In an instant, the light pillars in the sky gradually extinguished.

Seeing this, Yuan Yin felt relieved in his heart, but his tone was still tough.

"You kid are sensible, old man has things to do, so I won't argue with you."

As the words fell, he rushed straight toward the sky.

But before he could get out of the array, he saw a scorching sun explode in the sky.

"When was it..."

Yuan Yin was terrified in his heart and had to descend.

And in the great sea, several water dragons rushed up.

Under the attack from above and below, it was already a dead end.

Yuan Yin shouted angrily, "Scatter!"

In an instant, thousands of light spots shot out from his body.

The power of the scorching sun's explosion was broken head-on, and the water dragons in the sea were defeated.

Not only that, those dense light spots also attacked the four figures sitting in the array.

The giant Jiao opened its big mouth and swallowed the light spots attacking head-on. Every time it swallowed one, it groaned.

The Fighting Gull flapped her wings wildly, and air currents exploded, trying to push away the light spots like rain. But even so, a few light spots still hit her, smashing out blood holes one by one.

On the island, Luo Chen's expression was solemn.

One hand held the compass.

One hand drew a circle with a single hand, and then pushed it out slowly.

Suddenly, green and red rings appeared in the night sky.

The rings were independent of each other, but connected head to tail. Looking closely, there were five of them.

On them, green flames lingered, making people feel awe when looking at them.

It was the fire-attribute defensive magic art created by Luo Chen, the Seven-Fold Ring of Scorching Heaven.

This art had been cultivated to the master level, and as of today, it was used formally in battle for the first time.

This art came out, and instantly met the light spots that were most numerous head-on.

Chi chi chi...

In an instant, the first ring shattered instantly.

With the light spots breaking through like bamboo, the fire shield formed by the second ring was also defeated.

But when it reached the third ring, magic power surged on the ring, and besides the fire shield, red moths flew out.

The moths came out and pounced on the dense light spots.

When the two came into contact, the moths shattered one by one, but after shattering, they rose one after another, and were generated instantly.

It had quite a momentum of moths flying into the fire, following one after another.

After some obstruction, the impact momentum of those light spots had already been eliminated by more than half.

Although the third ring was finally broken, when it reached the fourth ring, it was already powerless.

Green flames surged, and the meaning of withering and flourishing was born.

Under the burning of the green flames, those light spots couldn't help but disperse their light, revealing stone beads that were dim.

Luo Chen's vision was very good, and he saw its essence at a glance.

"Pearl?"

Just when he was surprised, Yuan Yin recovered his breath, feeling that he already had a chance to escape.

No longer going to the sky or the sea, he rushed straight to the place where the aura was weakest.

He saw clearly that it was just a Third-Tier Ghost King soul.

And his Hidden Dust Sand clan was most unafraid of ghosts!

But just when he approached, the Ghost King opened his big mouth and let out a playful chuckle.

"What kind of Glow beast, it turns out to be a Hidden Dust Sand!"

Between the chuckles, the wind stopped suddenly.

In the night sky, inside the Sea-Sealing Eight Trigrams Array, a pearl the size of a fist dispersed its light and hung quietly in mid-air.

Drip!

Water droplets fell, Luo Chen walked on the sea and came to the giant pearl.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

"This is Hidden Dust Sand?"

That Ghost King spat out Han Zhan's voice, "The Glow beast body is a curled round ball, and when stretched out, it is no different from a butterfly, not this kind of round big pearl. Hidden Dust Sand is also known as Pearl Demon, Sea Demon Child, which just fits this shape."

Luo Chen suddenly realized, and also felt puzzled.

"But it is rumored that the combat power of Hidden Dust Sand is low, which can be called having no combat ability at all. The means that this demon just exploded with are not inferior to a Third-Tier late-stage Demon King at all."

Han Zhan smiled lightly, "Although that is the case, there are always talented people. Moreover, this demon revealed the realm of Third-Tier Perfection, and the power of the Ten Thousand Pearl Explosion means it displayed is not even half of the Five Great Demon Crab clan leaders, doesn't it just fit the description in the rumors?"

Luo Chen nodded, saying so was indeed correct.

Even if this Hidden Dust Sand was talented, in the face of a desperate counterattack, the means it mastered were just like that.

It didn't even break through the fifth ring of his master-level Seven-Fold Ring of Scorching Heaven.

He was a bit scared just now.

"In this way, it makes sense."

"No wonder a few days ago, I always felt someone was staring at me, but I couldn't find the source of the gaze."

"The Hidden Dust Sand clan, from the moment they are born with intelligence, is extremely good at hiding their own aura, and then slowly absorbs the power of the host to let themselves grow to the entry level."

"This demon is already Third-Tier Perfection, its concealment means are only afraid to be above my full-power Hidden Array!"

Since Luo Chen condensed a pair of spiritual eyes, not only was his own vision very good, but he was also quite sensitive to the gaze of others.

Therefore, two days ago, after noticing something wrong but couldn't find the enemy, he asked Han Zhan to investigate the enemy.

Such a small matter, Han Zhan naturally wouldn't refuse.

With the essence of his Nascent Soul soul, after deliberate investigation, he soon found where the enemy was.

Then, he landed here tonight and used the God-Sealing Compass to arrange the Sea-Sealing Eight Trigrams Array.

Luo Chen couldn't do the step of using eight feet as array eyes like that Demon Spider Crab, but he could also let Black King, Tian Yu Xuan, and Han Zhan cooperate with him.

Especially with Han Zhan, a master of arrays, the power of the Sea-Sealing Eight Trigrams Array was no less than that of the Demon Spider Crab.

In this way, this Hidden Dust Sand that entered the ambush circle without knowing it could only be manipulated by them.

Luo Chen shook his head, "Didn't expect that even when I was about to leave, there would be such a troublesome thing."

Han Zhan smiled: "Otherwise? You think why human cultivators like to choose spiritual lands to build sects, establish families, and cultivate in groups? Although there are many spiritual lands in the wild, those great demons mostly have the instinct to choose spiritual lands, and conflicts between each other are endless."

Luo Chen nodded with emotion.

Indeed, wild cultivation, although seemingly free, is always unrelated to "peace" until one reaches an absolutely powerful realm.

This also violates the superficial concept of "peaceful cultivation" of cultivators.

It was also at this time that the sound of conch shells sounded faintly nearby.

This place cannot stay for long!

Luo Chen took a deep breath, summoned the injured Black King and Tian Yu Xuan, set up a magic cloud, and flew into the night sky.
