Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 1834 Not Much Longer

Godslayer’s words reminded Alex that there was a deadline to this fight. He didn’t have too long to fight, so he either had to defeat the Dragon Emperor within that time or wound him enough that even after Godslayer could no longer help him, it wouldn’t matter to him.

Alex wondered how long exactly he had, but that was not an answer Godslayer could give him precisely.

The Dragon Emperor stared at Alex, looking at his body where his attacks had landed on a few times. There was not a single hint of wound on him, instead being blocked by some sort of armor underneath him.

On the other hand, he was himself wounded multiple times, his robes in tatters from the many attacks.

It was a blessing that he was in the Immortal realm and thus he didn’t remain wounded for very long.

As an Immortal, both body and soul were merged to become one, so when he was wounded on either one, so long as the other wasn’t wounded, one would reflect upon the other, quickly bringing them back to the original shape.

If a body was wounded, the soul would reflect upon it, quickly healing the body. If the soul was wounded, the body would reflect upon it, healing the soul.

The only way to truly harm an Immortal was to hurt them on both body and soul at once.

The Dragon Emperor was unhappy at the fact that Alex was doing just that. His attacks not only held enough power to wound his body but there was also spiritual energy to wound his soul at the same time.

Thankfully, the spiritual energy was weak enough that it couldn’t hurt his soul too much, and the Dragon Emperor could heal it.

However, if this continued for too long, there would come a point where he wouldn’t have enough spiritual energy of his own to heal his Soul, and at that point, the damages would start becoming permanent.

And as an Immortal in a world of non-immortals, the Dragon Emperor had no method of healing himself at that point. There were no healing pills for him, no enhancement pills.

At that point, he would have to rely upon the 9 veined pills, which while had a chance of working on Immortals, were something that would be considered trash by them.

The Dragon Emperor created a whirlwind around him, sending the wind whipping toward Alex, while also preparing his second attack with a lightning strike. .

Alex cut through the wind with a black slice of energy while also targeting the Dragon Emperor with it.

The lightning bolt struck the sword attack and created an explosion. At the same time, the Dragon Emperor flew out from the side, using another bolt of lightning to attack Alex.

Alex teleported away, arriving at a different location, and attacked the Dragon Emperor again, sending the two into another few minutes of back-and-forth attacks where both got hurt a little, but neither came out on top.

The Dragon Emperor steadily lost his Qi, with the only method of gaining it back being a gamble with a 9-veined pill, which he didn’t have many of, less of which were related to Qi replenishment.

Alex could steadily feel his power diminishing as well. From being at a level where he was consistently getting the upper hand in the clash, he had come to a point where he could only tie against the Emperor.

Soon enough, he would start losing. He couldn’t let the fight drag on to that point.

The Dragon Emperor seemed to have realized something similar as well, so he forced Alex to use more and more power.

Alex began supplementing his attacks with more things than what he had been using. He started adding more Daos other than Dao of Cutting and Yin, which was what primarily powered his Sword slashes that contained the power of Darkness and Death.

He added the Dao of Death, only to realize that he did not need it. Godslayer’s Dao of Death was stronger than his, and thus it was useless for him to use it in this instance.

He used Dao of Sharpness from time to time to put power into his slices, but those were something he chose to replace with his other, more powerful Dao.

Alex used Dao of True Fire Dao consistently, forcing back the lightning bolts every time the Dragon Emperor used them. Then, he started using Dao of Space in addition to Dao of Cutting, to create a sword slice that contained with it a power to carve through Space itself.

The first time he used that in the battle, the Dragon Emperor nearly lost his entire arm. He only survived at the last moment when he sensed the slicing space aura and moved away instantly.

After that, he started bringing out the Ivory Sword to fight back against Alex’s space dao attack.

The Ivory sword was capable of cutting through any space as long as it was powered by someone capable, so with the Dragon Emperor’s Immortal Qi, it was capable of cutting through the sharp Dao of Space itself.

The two came to a standstill after another long battle, with Alex getting even weaker even though he was using more Dao.

However, at the same time, the Dragon Emperor was using less and less Qi. It was either because he wanted to preserve it or because he was running out of it.

Alex continued his attacks regardless, intending to hurt, maim, or kill the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor fought back while slowly coming to a realization. He had partly ignored it because of the battle, but there were many people and beasts far away from Alex, currently doing nothing but watching the battle.

And of those beasts were beasts made up of blood. And at that moment, they were flying in a certain pattern, constantly changing as Alex fought him.

‘They’re in an array,’ the Dragon Emperor thought. He had learned long ago that Alex’s army was in an array, empowering everyone to become stronger.

He hadn’t expected Alex to be stronger using something like that at this very moment.

‘This bastard. He was getting help from elsewhere and I didn’t even notice it,’ the Dragon Emperor thought.

He used a lightning attack toward Alex and at the same time, raised his spear toward the sky, calling down lightning at the beasts far away.

Alex realized belatedly that the Dragon Emperor had done that and sensed the death of many of the blood beasts that had been hit by the lightning bolts.

A drop in the number of beasts alone was fine, but it was not just the blood beasts that had died.

Whisker, who had been controlling the beasts the entire time died as well, killed by one of the strikes.

Alex was too focused on the battle, so he could not control the beasts and thus the blood beasts ended up no longer forming an array.

Alex felt the aura around him from the Hell Emperor’s Divine Battle Array disappear and he became even weaker than before.

The Dragon Emperor noticed that and smiled as well.

“Let’s see how long you can continue now that your support is gone.”
