Rise of the Alchemy God

.

Ascending from one plane to another was no simple matter, and any being who had broken their mortal bonds to reach the spiritual realm knew this very well.

This was because, once they arrived at this realm of cultivation, their connection to the mortal plane would grow fainter while a bond with the celestial plane would begin to manifest.

This first part was the easiest since beings would instinctively feel a connection forming slowly with the celestial plane.

However, it was a challenge to fully perceive and consolidate this connection, especially correctly, so that it could be used as a path to reach the higher plane.

It was this part that was the most problematic because if one didn't make the proper preparation, they risked ending up in some spatial fracture. Stay updated through empire

In the best-case scenario, they might save themselves but end up in some remote dimension. In the worst-case scenario, they would die.

Mo Yan, who had already started perceiving the existence of a higher plane, tried to consolidate his connection with it as quickly as possible and attempt ascension.

He knew that doing so under these circumstances was far from ideal, but if he didn't act now, he risked ending up fighting two beings of his level.

This would either leave him seriously injured for a long time, unsure if he'd ever recover enough to attempt ascension again, or cost him his life at their hands.

Having few options at his disposal, he decided to attempt ascension now.

Unfortunately for him, luck was not on his side today.

Hearing an abrupt voice, he had to interrupt the process and immediately be on guard against the human who had appeared out of nowhere.

Although ascension required time, he had thought he could start the process and leave, adjusting the coordinates once he was out of this plane. At least this way, he wouldn't risk being interrupted. However, it seemed even that was no longer an option.

Seeing the human who had appeared, he frowned and said,

"Human, I spared you even when you wiped out my subordinates. Don't make me regret that decision."

He understood he no longer had any real way to escape.

Having only recently awakened, his powers had yet to fully stabilize, making a fight risky at this point.

His chances of victory weren't high at the moment, which was why he hadn't gone to save his subordinates first and instead decided on a tactical retreat, attempting to ascend much earlier than planned.

But now, seeing the other party had already caught up to him, he knew he had no choice but to muster as much strength as he could and fight.

"Spared me? Strange.

I could have sworn you were just running away a moment ago," Ethan replied, unfazed by the thought of confronting the demon.

He had already sensed the demon's condition when it awakened and had understood its intentions when he saw it flee.

Just like the demon, Ethan also felt an invisible connection to another place, and to him, that place was undoubtedly the celestial plane.

He wasn't sure how to use that connection to ascend, but he had decided not to dwell on it for now.

He would ask Bai Yu about it after dealing with this demon.

Although he believed the demon, if discovered in the celestial plane after ascending, would be eliminated immediately by its powerhouses,

he didn't want to risk sparking an infestation of demonic energy as had happened millions of years ago.

More importantly, he didn't want to lose his free source of stat points.

Thus, he immediately erected several formations to seal the area within tens of miles.

The last thing he wanted was for the other party to take their battle elsewhere, or worse, to another continent.

Seeing the other party had no intention of letting him go, the demon sighed and prepared to fight.

"Don't say I didn't warn you," the demon said, deciding to go all out.

He knew he wouldn't come out of this battle unscathed, but he didn't believe he would lose if he gave it his all.

With that, he channeled demonic Qi into his scepter, and immediately, a curtain of smoke began to spread from it.

The smoke enveloped the area instantly, and seeing this, Ethan didn't take it lightly and readied himself.

After all, his opponent was not a being of the mortal rank but one at his own rank.

Thus, he dared not be careless in this situation.

With another wave of the scepter, the black smoke that had filled the area began to swirl, and soon, several condensed spheres of smoke formed in the air, trembling and changing shape.

The spheres transformed into what appeared to be several beings entirely made of shadow.

The only distinguishing feature they had was that each had a different shape, and all bore only a mouth on their face and nothing else.

They were like living shadows, and from their aura, Ethan couldn't determine their level of strength.

"Let me show you the true power of our race," the demon said as his black robe began to flutter with various streams of demonic Qi surrounding him, emanating a heavy aura throughout the environment.

"Well, it seems you've decided to give it your all right from the start," Ethan thought as his eyes began to shine with a blue light.

His pupils narrowed further, becoming thin as needles, while a terrifying and menacing aura began to radiate from his entire being.

He hadn't had a chance to unleash his full strength since his ascension, so he wasn't yet aware of the full extent of his power.

That said, he could feel a great strength within him and thought this was the perfect moment to test it.

Mo Yan, sensing the terrifying aura, couldn't help but frown as he thought,

"This aura... it's not that of a human."

He was certain the other party was human, yet he could tell this aura was more akin to that of a beast rather than a human.

Not just any beast, but a dragon.

In the past, he had fought against experts from the human race and even those from the beast race, but none of them had ever emanated an aura like this.

This confused him for a moment, but he didn't dwell on it too much.

Seeing that the other party was also ready to attack, he intensified the power in his scepter and commanded the creatures he had summoned to advance.
