Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 2225 - 2225 2215 Breakthrough

2225: Chapter 2215: Breakthrough 2225: Chapter 2215: Breakthrough After sealing his five senses, Long Yan sat on the ground, taking a good while before he could finally recover.

This battle was extraordinarily difficult; Long Yan couldn’t help but let out a wry laugh, thinking about how he had almost lost his life here.

Xing Rou, who had just returned, saw Long Yan in this state and hurried over, taking out a heap of ointment for external injuries from her storage ring to apply on Long Yan.

“Did you tell them to pull out?”

Long Yan asked as he watched Xing Rou busily tending to him.

His wounds were indeed terrifying; no wonder Xing Rou looked so fearful.

Hearing that Bai Mu and the others had already retreated, Long Yan closed his eyes, starting to rest and recover.

He needed to adjust his energy to be ready for the next battle.

But in his consciousness, Long Yan actually arrived at his Sea of Consciousness, only to find that one of the Nine Suns had dimmed.

He had never seen such a phenomenon in the Nine Suns Divine Art, which also never mentioned this kind of Dark Sun.

With no other choice, Long Yan scratched the back of his head, unsure whether this change was good or bad.

However, his strength had indeed improved, but he noticed a strand of dark aura mixed with the normally flowing True Qi.

Especially given Long Yan’s temperament, a violent rage began to stir from deep within him, and now, even trivial matters could infuriate him.

This was the very reason Long Yan had come here.

His True Qi inadvertently entered the Dark Sun, turning the normally warm and golden sunlight into a vortex of aggression, fear, and anger.

A wave of negative emotions followed Long Yan’s True Qi into his body, startling him so much that he hastily withdrew his True Qi, deciding to set the matter aside for now.

The Nine Dragons Tripod was still emanating light, but Long Yan noticed it was quiet, showing no intention of protecting its owner.

Long Yan had been infusing his True Qi into the Nine Dragons Tripod daily, but all the True Qi sent into it disappeared without a trace, like casting mud into the sea.

Long Yan once tried to control the Nine Dragons Tripod with his will, but to no avail.

The tripod simply wouldn’t respond to his commands, and he had no idea how to deal with it.

It was one of the earliest things Long Yan had obtained, yet it was what he knew the least about.

After exiting his Sea of Consciousness, Long Yan felt the seals on his True Qi loosen slightly.

It had been a long time since he’d felt this sensation.

Since the All Heavens and Earth Ranking, Long Yan hadn’t encountered any formidable opponents, with the only exception being Chen Chen, but their fight had been simple, and afterward, Chen Chen had become the sword spirit of the Lu Xian Sword.

However, this series of battles had loosened Long Yan’s bottleneck, and having resolved conflicts with three people in a row, Long Yan guessed that his opponents were hesitant to act rashly.

He decided to seize this time to break through.

Long Yan’s eyes opened briefly, and just after saying a word to Xing Rou, he entered a meditative state, regardless of the dire state of his environment.

The walls around him were on the verge of collapsing, but Long Yan couldn’t care less.

He predicted that the strongest of the Four Great Demon Guards was next, and enhancing his strength was urgent.

Xing Rou quietly looked at Long Yan’s profile, the seated figure, bathed in a Crimson Red glow, continuously absorbed and released energy.

An immense momentum burst forth from within Long Yan, leaving Xing Rou feeling astonished.

Looking at Long Yan’s profile, Xing Rou’s heart was in turmoil, as if a seasoning bottle had been overturned inside — a mixture of many flavors.

The main theme of this war had become a solo battle for Long Yan, where neither she nor Bai Mu could be of any help.

Powerful True Qi ceaselessly roamed through Long Yan’s meridians, with crimson-red dragons breaking through each of the previously abandoned meridians.

The process of reaching the God King Level still involved opening the human body’s meridians; only upon reaching the Divine Emperor Level, which involves cultivating such powerful Artistic Conceptions, can practitioners truly be called Strong Ones.

In another secret chamber, the last man in the black robe opened his eyes.

All of the Four Great Demon Guards, except for him, had perished, making him the final barrier before Qing Luo.

“It seems it’s time to repay your kindness.”

Long Jue silently sighed to himself.

He who kills others will eventually be killed; he became one of the Four Great Demon Guards for Qing Luo out of a debt of gratitude, often helping him with dirty deeds.

It seemed that his retribution had come today.

“You didn’t have to go.”

A scene appeared before him; the bead in Qing Luo’s hand was like fresh blood.

He looked at Long Jue with a complex expression, sensing strongly that Long Jue wouldn’t be able to stop that human.

Although the two of them hadn’t come together out of any particular feelings of friendship, Qing Luo felt somewhat reluctant to let go of someone who had been loyally serving him for many years.

“Consider this the repayment of your last favor.

After this, regardless of the outcome, we’ll be even,” Long Jue said as he waved his hand to cut off Qing Luo’s words.

This matter was undoubtedly a release for him, so he just let it be.

Qing Luo, somewhat embarrassed by Long Jue’s nonchalant attitude, opened his mouth to say something but, in the end, he could only heave a helpless sigh, leaving only his final words.

“Go on.”

Watching Long Jue vanish into the secret chamber, Qing Luo’s expression turned melancholic.

The loyal servant who had worked for him for years was now the last one standing.

If they failed to achieve their ultimate goal, all of today’s losses would be meaningless.

With this thought, a fervent look appeared on Qing Luo’s face, hastening the work at hand.

Long Yan controlled his True Qi, focusing on the last Sun.

The crimson True Qi, mixed with streaks of dark light, finally shone faintly under Long Yan’s relentless efforts; the originally phantom-like tenth Sun now emitted dim light.

Now, including the Dark Sun, there were still Nine Suns in Long Yan’s Sea of Consciousness.

The Dark Sun remained still in Long Yan’s Sea of Consciousness without causing any anomalies; he simply ignored it.

True Qi flushed the impurities from his meridians, and in an instant, the domineering Momentum turned the small stones around Long Yan into dust, and the entire castle emitted waves of roaring sounds.

Long Yan had successfully broken through.

The awakened Long Yan hurriedly retracted his Momentum, as his unrestrained power could very well be the last straw that breaks the entire castle.

Feeling the surging power within his body, Long Yan couldn’t help but look up to the sky and let out a long howl.

With this, he had officially taken his first step toward becoming a Strong One.

“God King ninth stage.”

At this moment, Long Yan had a feeling that even if he were to encounter Elder Xuehe again, although there was no certainty of victory, he would definitely not be as embarrassed as before.
