Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster - Chapter 1489

Chapter 1489: Chapter 554: Exposed Problems, Fierce Breakthrough Chapter 1489: Chapter 554: Exposed Problems, Fierce Breakthrough “I wonder how much I can harvest this time?”

Next to a dead Ring-Headed Turtle, Luo Chen’s Demon Crab Puppet quietly lay there, pretending to be dead.

His entire focus was on the chaotic battlefield ahead.

The situation was three against one, no different from before, with three Demon Spider Crabs overpowering one Third-Order Ring-Headed Turtle.

The only difference was probably that this Ring-Headed Turtle had particularly strong defenses, enduring a whole day and night under the siege of three demons.

If Han Zhan hadn’t informed Luo Chen to come here, Luo Chen wouldn’t have considered targeting this side.

“It’s severely injured, even if it survives, there’s no possibility of progress. Now at the critical moment of its clan’s survival, I wonder if it will choose to self-destruct.”

Luo Chen muttered to himself.

Not all Ring-Headed Turtle Demon Kings choose to self-destruct in desperate situations.

That requires incredible resoluteness!

During this one day and night, Luo Chen had only managed to capture five Demon Crab Kings due to the draws between the fights.

Of course, this number was already a lot.

In the previous year, he only secretly captured seven Demon Kings in total.

A day’s work nearly equated to a year’s gain, and could not be considered insignificant.

By now, Luo Chen was actually contemplating withdrawal.

Twelve Third-Order Demon Crabs, when used to refine Black Emperor Ointment, would yield a terrifying amount.

By later purchasing some more from the market, he would have more than enough to support his cultivation from the Late Phase of Three-Order Ancient Desolation to the Fourth-Order.

Of course.

Now that the opportunity had presented itself, he would not let it slip; who would despise having too many cultivation resources?

Looking at the increasingly desperate and oppressed Demon King battle, Luo Chen also felt somewhat emotional.

Such a good opportunity to benefit amidst the chaos on the battlefield was rare in his lifetime.

Different from the battles amongst human cultivators.

In those cultivator battlefields, such actions done a few times would easily expose one.

While on the demon beast battlefield, the vast number of Lower Order Demon Beasts provided Luo Chen with the chance to remain hidden.

Additionally, the weak Divine Consciousness of demon beasts was also a factor enabling him to profit from the chaos.

With his strong Concealment Techniques, and the aid from Han Zhan, a Nascent Soul True Master, Luo Chen was able to maneuver freely on the demon beast battlefield.

Just as he was pondering, the battle ahead gradually came to an end.

When he sensed the battered Ring-Headed Turtle suddenly bursting out with strong Demon Qi in a Returning Light and Reflecting moment, Luo Chen tensed up.

“Here it comes!”

The Demon Crab Puppet submerged, burrowing into the ground and entering the prepared Primordial Chaos Tripod.

As per the previous operations, what followed was using his Lifebound Magic Treasure, Primordial Chaos Tripod, to withstand the first wave of the explosion from the Demon King’s self-destruct, and then to use the resulting chaos to kill a Demon Crab.

If it died instantly, it would spare further trouble.

Just as Luo Chen curled up within the interior space of the Primordial Chaos Tripod, the battle outside also approached its climax.

Vast Demon Qi, in a Returning Light and Reflecting manner, rose vigorously from the Ring-Headed Turtle Demon King.

One could predict, the next moment would be a shocking blow.

The scene Luo Chen hoped for in the tripod.

But after waiting several breaths, aside from a scream, there were no major noises from outside.

“Strange?”

Inside the tripod, Luo Chen appeared puzzled.

Subconsciously, his Divine Consciousness spread out, peeking towards the center of the battlefield.

In his view, the Ring-Headed Turtle had its neck severed, dying from bleeding at its seven apertures.

And its massive body was tightly bound by dense white spider silk, no longer showing any fluctuations.

The final counterattack before death ceased abruptly!

At this moment, as Luo Chen was spying, the three Demon Spider Crabs turned their heads together, looking towards Luo Chen’s location.

“Not good, I’ve been discovered!”

During Luo Chen’s silent alarm.

“Come out!”

The three demons shouted as one, each striking.

Three spheres of condensed Demon Qi came thundering.

Their strike, seamlessly coordinated with tremendous force, smashed into the ground.

Clang!

A sound of metal clashing echoed suddenly.

Dirt flew around, and Demon Qi crisscrossed, creating a huge explosion.

In that booming explosion, a Small Tripod suddenly flew out, with Spiritual Light Blossoming, and a figure with a gloomy expression appeared.

“Damn it!”

As expected of the most keenly aware Demon Spider Crab Clan, the three demons had realized Luo Chen’s Divine Consciousness.

Cursing under his breath, Luo Chen hesitated no further, grabbing the Primordial Chaos Tripod and fleeing backwards.

It wasn’t the first time he had been discovered.

Often walking by the river, there is no one who doesn’t get wet shoes.

But previously, it was mostly one Demon King finding out, and if he acted quickly, he could completely obliterate the opponent to prevent the news from leaking.

This time, however, all three demons were present!

Thus, Luo Chen decisively fled.

And the three demons, upon seeing Luo Chen, were initially stunned.

“Human Cultivators?”

“Golden Core Cultivator?”

Before their astonishment spread, the slightly older among the three Demon Spider Crab Monster Kings suddenly realized,
“This must be the behind-the-scenes manipulator the Clan Chief spoke of; he has been watching our battle likely aiming to ambush us.”

As these words came out, the other two demons instantly changed color.

“We can’t let him escape!”

“Chase!”

“Notify the Clan Chief, and also inform the other four clans’ powerhouses on the battlefield to dispatch Third Order Clan People to encircle and kill this person!”

In a short span, the three demons quickly reached a consensus.

Demon Qi soared, and three figures chased after the direction Luo Chen fled towards.

…

“Damn it, the Ring-Headed Turtle Demon King was about to self-destruct, how did it stop abruptly?”
