Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Yao Ning was the oldest human living on the Southern Continent at the moment, and similarly, she was also the strongest. 

At Saint Transformation 7th realm, there was not a single person stronger than her. Her cultivation base had also improved a lot in the past few years thanks to Alex’s veined pills. 

She had come with Alex for the sole purpose of protecting him. When the commander left to fight, she had stayed behind assuming that he would be enough. However, seeing as he had failed and everyone was in danger, she had to step in.

The commander took a deep breath and released an equally deep sigh of relief.

“Thank you, senior for helping us,” he said, bowing a bit toward Yao Ning. 

Yao Ning nodded. “Go back and take your men with you. I will take care of this,” the old woman said before turning toward the wyrm that seemed to fail to realize what had just happened.

It had not even seen the old woman arrive before the man, let alone use her techniques. How had she gotten there so quickly? Was she always there?

Yao Ning turned toward the Wyrm. “Had you just let us be, none of this would be happening to you,” she said as golden Qi released from her body slowly filling the air around her as if forming a bubble with it.

The golden bubble completely covered her as the outer layer formed a strong barrier.

“Now that you’ve dared to try and kill us, I will be killing you instead,” the old woman said as the golden bubble released 8 different limbs from its body, each of which turned into golden swords at the end.

Yao Ning had all the limbs under her control, and she began her attacks.

The technique Yao Ning had just used, the Hundred Arms Golden Sphere technique, was the signature skill of the Yao family that had been passed down for generations. 

Alex saw the old woman use that skill with quite a bit of admiration in his eyes. The last time he had seen this technique was nearly a decade and a half ago when he fought Yao Bujiang in the Battle Arena that was controlled by the Ren family.

He had used this very same technique, only he had used 4 arms against Alex, while the old woman Yao used 8. From what Alex knew, doubling the number of arms used was a terrifyingly difficult task that only got exponentially harder each time.

Youths of the Yao family started with no arms, then one, then two, and then four. Most didn’t even reach four, so the fact that Yao Ning could do 8 went on to show just how much of a prodigy she was from the family.

The 8 arms of the golden barrier worked flawlessly as they moved with such grace that one couldn’t even tell just how dangerous those arms were.

The arms moved, releasing bursts of attacks flying toward the Wyrm. The Wyrm defended as well as it could, but not only had it used up its Immortal Qi, even its regular Qi was close to running out.

The threat of death went from being surreal to real all of a sudden as any of the next few attacks could kill it.

The Wyrm fought back, sending out attacks of its own, but not a single one of them did anything to the old woman at all. All of its attacks was simply defended by the golden barrier.

Even when it tried to sneak an attack past the woman, the golden arms easily stopped it. 

The old woman was like a chef, showing masterful skills in the kitchen, while the Wyrm was the ingredient lying on the cutting board. And it was about to be cut.

‘No,’ it thought. ‘No, I can’t die.’ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

The Wyrm was on its last life, its body bleeding all over, its blue feathers stained red. It no longer thought of its domain, its pride, or even the dangers that lurked below the ocean in the state it was in.

In its mind, running away into the ocean was the only way for it to survive. So, the Wyrm turned around and instantly started diving down.

“No you don’t,” Yao Ning said as all 8 of the arms around her came together to make a strong attack. Right before she was about to attack, however, she stopped.

The Wyrm didn’t notice that. It was simply too focused on running toward the ocean. So, when it saw a young man on his way down, it couldn’t care enough to be cautious.

“Surely you don’t think you can just leave, do you?” Alex asked with Midnight in hand. His sword glowed white, black, and silver, all at the same time. There were also two other aura on his sword that was hidden to the naked eyes.

Combined with his physical strength, this was the strongest attack the current Alex could use. 

The Wyrm noticed Alex’s attack as well, but by that time, it was simply too late. 

God Rending Death Blade.

Alex flew himself, arriving at the Wyrm in an instant. He struck the head of the heavily wounded Wyrm and at that very moment, the Wyrm realized that it had been too careless.

Alex’s physical strength wasn’t much, considering it was only around Saint Core 1st realm at the moment even after years of body cultivation.

His sword aura was also not that strong. It used to be very strong previously, but given how much everything else had improved, the other aspects of his fighting strength had caught up and surpassed the strength of his Sword Aura in some cases.

Currently, his Sword Aura was capable of producing strength around the peak of the Saint Core realm.

Unlike them, however, his Qi was plenty strong. At Saint Core 6th realm, his Qi could produce a strength comparable to the average attack of a Saint Soul 6th realm. Adding onto that strength provided by his Yin Qi when put through Midnight to use the God Rending Death Blade technique, it even went a step beyond to reach the Saint Soul 7th realm in strength.

The silver light surrounding his sword had been Space aura, as he was using the dao of Space and dao of Cutting together to form a spatial blade, the attributes of which he had put into this very skill.

Adding onto all that the Spiritual attack he had learned from the Spiritual Providence technique, this had most definitely been his strongest attack to date without any external help.

What that meant when it came to the Wyrm was that in a single strike, Alex cut through the Wyrm from its head to its tail like a fish fillet.

Not even a Nascent soul remained after Alex’s attack.

He turned around and quickly took the beast’s body into his storage ring. A body like that of the Wyrm could be considered a treasure on its own.

But what Alex considered to truly be the treasure here was the Beast Core of the Wyrm. With enough time, he would have a blood Wyrm of his own.
