Did Alchemy Sect Luo Chen really take a strike from Mingyuan Lei Daozi?
This sudden clash left everyone caught off guard.
And the result was even more unbelievable!
Just who is Lei Daozi?
Among those below the Divine Transformation in Mingyuan Sacred Land, he is the most renowned and powerful, and also the most promising to advance to the Divinity Transformation Realm in the Eastern Wasteland.
Since his debut, he's had virtually no defeats.
Rumor has it, he is the unparalleled prodigy who can comprehend the True Intent of Laws within the Nascent Soul Realm.
And his recent achievements further prove his capabilities.
Chasing down the Jinxiu Immortal, defeating Bi Zheng, capturing Gao Chang alive among the Thousands of Demons with Juan Kuang's help!
Such achievements almost bear the style of the legendary Qing Shuang Demon Emperor.
He has even vaguely been honored with the title of undefeated below the Divine Transformation in the Eastern Wasteland.
A being like this can only be matched by cultivators of the same realm. Even a casual strike is not something the weak can withstand.
Yet right before their eyes, Luo Chen of the Alchemy Sect, known worldwide for his Dao of Alchemy, effortlessly blocked the strike.
Who wouldn't be utterly shocked?
Tian Douzi wore an expression of amazement, murmuring in his heart: "Though Lei Daozi did not use his full strength, Luo Chen's response was indeed beyond my expectations."
Jiuling Yuanjun looked at Luo Chen with a solemn expression, as if truly seeing this friend for the first time.
Lin Qingxuan held back a smile, relieved he hadn't bargained with Luo Chen earlier.
Fenghua Fairy was quite surprised, convinced that the strength Luo Chen showed in that instant surpassed even that during the previous battles in the Tiandu Domain. Was it hidden or short-term progress?
True Master Shenhuo and Old Ghost Mo Tian exchanged a glance and nodded secretly.
Once again, those mysterious flames!
Various gazes filled with myriad meanings.
But when they all focused on Luo Chen, it seemed as if stars gathered around the moon, as if everyone relied upon him, making his steady form appear much grander.
And with the momentum amplified, the question Luo Chen posed again became weighty.
"Now, can your sect give us an explanation?"
Lei Daozi slowly withdrew his hand, eyeing Luo Chen with interest, seemingly somewhat surprised.
Regarding this question, he seemed less concerned than before.
"This battle has dragged on for too long. If Mingyuan moves, it is to quell the demon chaos. Rather than continue dragging it out, why not aim to accomplish everything in one decisive battle. That Chang Ghost is the perfect bait."
Luo Chen furrowed his brow, "Are you sure the Demon Clan will attack with full force?"
Lei Daozi confidently smiled: "That Chang Ghost carries that weight! Its original form is a Desolate Beast Variety known as the Devouring Essence Beast, born to consume the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, especially fond of the Dao Fruit of those who cultivate, even feeding on it. It attempted to sneak attack during the Ancient Demon Emperor's Transfiguration Thunder Tribulation, only to have its physical body destroyed and turned into a Chang Ghost.
For many years, the Ancient Demon Emperor has been seeking methods to nurture this ghost. Recently, he finally discovered that it could advance by devouring the Nascent Souls of Human Cultivators. If this demon breaks into the God Transformation Stage, it would mean Di Tian has a Chang Ghost at the God Transformation Level."
This temptation was irresistible, so even with the unwritten rule that God Transformation experts do not interfere in the Human and Demon War, he secretly dispatched his Chang Ghost to ambush our Nascent Soul True Masters."
This revelation left everyone looking at each other.
Desolate Beasts have become scarce in this era, and if any exist, they're mostly in the Wilderness.
And now a Chang Ghost with such a background appears?
Furthermore, born to consume the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and even feeds on cultivators' Dao Fruits?
What is meant by the Dao Fruit of a cultivator?
The foundation of cultivation, Great Dao Golden Core, Three Treasures Nascent Soul, and even Primordial Spirit are all the fruits of a cultivator's lifetime practice.
In other words, the alleged Devouring Essence Beast has an innate malice against cultivators!
"Based on my research, after the beast transformed into a Chang Ghost and lost its body, its vital energy was severely diminished. But by now, it has re-cultivated to the Late Stage Nascent Soul Realm, just a step away from God Transformation."
Lei Daozi spoke eloquently, giving everyone a thorough explanation.
Then, he waved his large hand.
"Thus, the Ancient Demon Emperor would never give up his Chang Ghost cultivated over centuries, even if it means mobilizing the full strength of the East Desolate Demon Clan to reclaim it!"
"And this is the trigger for the great decisive battle to come!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, have I made myself clear with this?"
No one spoke, everyone digesting the astonishing news received in such a short time.
No wonder Lingtian Pass has been so heavily fortified recently!
No wonder the Mingyuan Sect has moved numerous cultivators into the city, even increasing the number of Nascent Soul True Masters from over ten to thirty. Alongside the Lingtian City Lord, there are now a full six Great Cultivators!
Turns out, they've been preparing for the final battle!
Thud!
The sound of one striking the table surface echoed.
Everyone turned their gaze towards it, and it was none other than Alchemy Sect Luo Chen.
They suddenly realized, fortunate that the Alchemy Sect led and initiated this gathering, forcing the Mingyuan Sect to provide an explanation.
Otherwise, they would face the dual-race decisive battle unprepared, likely incurring heavy losses.
Luo Chen looked directly at Lei Daozi and slowly began to speak:
"That Chang Ghost is so important, it might even force the East Desolate Demon Clan to go all out. If they fail to capture Lingtian Pass, would the leading Ancient Demon Emperor disregard the unofficial rule of God Transformation Great Power not taking action and personally attack us? If so, how would your sect handle it?"
He posed the question everyone was most concerned about.
Facing tense faces, Lei Daozi burst into hearty laughter.
