Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 1832 Strong

Qi, Blood Aura, Spiritual Energy, Sword Aura, Dao of Yin and Cutting, and the sheer power provided to him through Godslayer's corruption, poured into the technique carved into Midnight's body.

The God Rending Death Blade technique.

A sword slash of pitch black flew out from Alex, making its way toward the Dragon Emperor who had readied himself against anything dangerous.

A bolt of lightning flew out from his spear thrust, turning into an illusory white and blue dragon that moved toward the black sword slash.

The two attacks clashed at the center, creating an explosion of black and white light, where neither of the two came close to winning against each other.

"What is this?" the Dragon Emperor watched the result of their clash in horror. "How is it this strong?"

Just as he thought that he sensed something coming toward him from the explosion. A weak attack flew out that the Dragon Emperor easily swatted away. However, the meaning behind that left him stunned.

Alex's attack had not just contended with his own attack equally, it had surpassed his attack in a way, which was simply preposterous to him.

Alex was pleasantly surprised by the result as well.

"Yes! You have a chance," Godslayer shouted in Alex's mind.

Alex smiled. "I do."

Alex flew through the explosion before him, preparing another attack. He swung another sword slash toward the Dragon Emperor, this time without using the technique that was carved into Midnight.

He used Bursting Blaze, pouring the True Fire Dao into his attack, letting out an explosive attack that rendered the Dragon Emperor's attack null while letting him know that he was the weaker attack.

Alex punched, sending out four Golden Spear that launched toward the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor fought back with a defensive attack, creating a cage of lightning to surround him, which defended against all of Alex's attacks.

The lightning cage vanished and he let out an attack, sending many dozens of somewhat weaker lightning bolts toward Alex.

Alex moved back while using the Infinite Heavenly Ice Spear Art to form icicles all around him that were short toward each of the forked lightning bolts that came down upon him.

A single icicle was a little weaker but two were enough to destroy the lightning bolts.

And Alex could use as many as he wanted.

The surrounding people watched in awe at the fight, not a single one understanding how Alex had become so strong all of a sudden.

A single breakthrough was not supposed to make someone so much stronger, was it?

Hannah stared at her little cousin, surprised at how easily he dealt with the many lightning bolts. She had the same technique as him, but in the heat of battle, she hadn't remembered to use it to fight back against the lightning bolts.

There was an instinctual battle knowledge that came with having been in a lot of battles, and Hannah knew she lacked it. It was only now that she was seeing how much she lacked it.

Previously, Alex had been forced to fight while holding himself back. He was stronger than almost everyone even before the breakthrough, but their Immortal Qi could kill him at any time, so he couldn't constantly be offensive and had to remain vigilant for Immortal attacks.

However, due to whatever he was doing, that shackle on his fight had come off, and there was no longer a fear him of an Immortal attack.

He could finally show his fighting prowess to the fullest and it shocked everyone that had stayed back to watch.

Pearl had a wide grin on his face as he watched the faces of the shocked beasts. 'That's my brother,' he thought as he watched Alex make an Immortal stand on his toes in this fight.

Glowing golden wires rushed to capture the Dragon Emperor, empowered with the Dao of Metal and Ductility. It wrapped around the Dragon Emperor, but he used his Dao of Spatial expansion to expand the space between him and the wires, slipping out of it easily.

At the same time, he moved his spear, creating a whirlwind around him, as he fought back against the incoming sword slash.

A feeling of death permeated from most of Alex's attacks, that the Dragon Emperor was starting to feel and recognize. It was an aura that permeated a battlefield or a location with a lot of deaths, all of which he had been plenty to.

He started to recognize it, which only made him wonder just how the hell a young man like Alex could have ever come across so much death to create this aura.

He even wondered if that was not the case, and instead, it was Alex who was dying, creating that aura.

The Emperor would hope more than anything else that was the case.

He still couldn't understand just how it was that Alex could fight against him with more than equal prowess. He was an Immortal, empowered by the highest power that one could afford to use in this land.

And somehow, Alex was keeping up with him despite being nowhere close to an Immortal. The worst part about it all was that Alex wasn't even using Immortal Qi. As a newly broken-

through cultivator, he wouldn't even have it.

That only made the Dragon Emperor fear just how strong Alex would have been in a couple of years, had he left the man time to grow.

It was great luck that the Dragon Emperor had somehow put the man on a 20-year time constraint to show himself before him. If not, he might have had to fight against someone who could kill him with a single swing of his sword.

The Dragon Emperor preemptively attacked, sending out a sweet melody all around him. It was an attack he rarely had to use, as he was too strong to have to bother with techniques like these.

However, it seemed that he had to do so today.

Alex heard the sweet melody and gave a twisted grin. He swung back immediately, ignoring the melody to fight back.

The Dragon Emperor's eyes widened and he quickly retaliated. The explosion this time was close enough that he felt a strong shockwave fall onto him.

And in that shockwave was a weak little mental strength that flew to attack him.

The Dragon Emperor felt his mind ache a little from the attack, not enough to harm him, but enough to be of minor inconvenience.

But that told him something that he had feared was true from the start.

'His attacks have spiritual energy attached to them,' he thought. 'If I get hit directly with that alone, I will be in trouble.'

The Dragon Emperor flew back, creating some distance between himself and Alex, while Alex slowly followed behind.

The Dragon Emperor moved even further back, growing more and more away from Alex, forcing Alex to follow even more.

And when he thought it was enough, he immediately stopped moving and brought out a small vial. At the same time, he stopped using his Dao, forcing the expanded space he had been leaving behind to collapse immediately, pulling both him and Alex face to face at once.

Before Alex could react, the Dragon Emperor sprayed the remaining contents of the vial onto Alex.
