Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Alex looked down to where his father was and smiled as he saw that his father had come victorious against the person he was fighting against.

Alex had wanted to go help him, but that would just bring the attention of the entire army in that direction and he needed to keep their attention here for the most part.

Soon, Graham and a few other soldiers managed to take hold of the teleportation building, shutting it down for the time being.

No more soldiers came to aid the Dragon Emperor from the teleportation formation anymore, so only those who had managed to teleport in were able to help the empire in the war.

Unfortunately, enough soldiers had already come in that the battle wasn't going to be as easy as Alex would've hoped for it to be.

The Emperor's army created layers in front of the Emperor that they would have to beat to get across to the Emperor.

There were 3 layers in total, each acting in unison as though the same body. These people had a lot of training when it came to just war, something the Southern Continent lacked a little.

Alex's soldiers were in war formations too, but they weren't sure how strong it would be against the enemy. This was their first war in millennia, so there was nothing for them to compare this information with.

Still, they hoped that the Hell Emperor's Divine Battle Array would be enough to overcome any other disparity that they had.

Alex saw the many groups of soldiers on the enemy side forming clumps where they were ready to use the Dragon Array to empower someone.

Alex could see who would probably be the target for that. There were about 20 different strong individuals that could be improved upon.

Alex sent a mental note to everyone strong to target those 20 people.

"Get ready!" Alex bellowed as loudly as he could so that his entire army to hear him over the sound of the battle that still raged all around him. "The real war starts here."

Everyone got their weapons and attacks ready and looked at the enemy army who seemed ready to get into the fight as well.

"Attack!"

"KILL THEM ALL!"

Both Alex's and the Dragon Emperor's voices mixed together on the battlefield, causing each and every soldier to charge at once.

Alex led the charge, flying directly toward one of the strongest people he could sense on the battlefield.

The person he noticed was a relatively old man with long flowing gray hair with a small golden artifact pinned onto his tied-up hair in the back.

A bone white halberd appeared in his hand and an illusory golden dragon appeared around a clump of soldiers behind him, pushing the man's Saint Transformation 6th realm cultivation base up to Saint Transformation 9th realm.

Alex attacked first, throwing a Golden Spear Punch which sent 4 golden spears flying at the man.

The man swung his bone-white halberd, creating a layer of golden barrier around himself, which he used to completely protect himself from the attack.

The spears landed on the barrier and were destroyed in an explosion of golden Qi and shockwave. At the same time, the man swung the halberd forward like a spear, the tip of it suddenly extending far beyond its normal reach.

Alex parried the attack with Midnight, redirecting it to the side before swinging back with a fiery slash that he used with Sword Aura.

The attack flew across the sky like a red crescent moon, striking another golden barrier that the old man had put up in time.

Only this time the barrier exploded in such a way that the old man was forced to take the brunt of the damage.

The old man was pushed backward, and he looked up at Alex with a somewhat shocked look on his face. Something had caused the fire attack to become intense at the end there.

He had thought it was Alex's Sword Qi, but at the same time, it also felt as though some power of Dao had been added to the attack.

The old man ignored his concerns at the moment, focusing on the battle at hand. He had no luxury to give thought to his concerns right now.

Alex attacked again, this time throwing a lightning slash at the old man.

The old man didn't try to defend the attack. Instead, he dodged and let the group of soldiers behind him take the attack. With the barrier that they gained from their technique, they could more or less handle all attacks thrown their way.

The halberd in the old man's hand suddenly glowed bright gold as he used another attack.

Alex swung back with a golden sword as well, making his weapon clash against the old man's.

'Come on. Use it already.'

Alex was waiting for the old man to use his Immortal Qi. As long as he could dodge that and be sure that the old man no longer had any more Immortal Qi to work with, Alex could charge at him without any care and kill him.

The two of them exchanged a few more attacks before Alex realized that the old man wasn't going to actively seek to kill him unless Alex did something to threaten him first.

As the understanding fell upon Alex, his sword glowed bright white before colors took over the surface. To anyone not aware of what was going on, the attack looked as normal as it always had.

Alex swung the sword and it flew in the old man's direction. The old man flipped his halberd, causing a whirlpool of golden energy to form in front of him, which quickly sought to consume the incoming attack.

The two attacks landed and the old man felt the difference in the new attack.

The golden ornament that was pinned to his hair buzzed with a dull ringing sound and the old man realized that he had been attacked with a Spiritual attack.

However, he hadn't sensed the attack coming at all.

Alex swung again, sending another attack. The old man used an attack of his own to contend with Alex's, and the aftermath brought another spiritual attack, one that affected him directly.

It was so strong that his artifact hadn't been able to completely block the damage.

The old man flew back in panic, and another attack flew toward him. He dodged it, but then Alex dashed in the direction he dodged.

Alex charged toward the old man like a meteor, and with no choice, the Old man quickly used the Immortal Qi in his body to pour into his halberd and struck out.

The Immortal metal attack struck Alex, and the illusion fell apart into motes of yellow light.

"Wha—"

Before the old man realized, Alex had already appeared behind him and struck him. A barrier appeared before the old man to block Alex's attack. However, for some reason, the same barrier that had done quite well to block most of the attacks before was torn apart like paper from this final attack.

In one fell sweep, Alex cleaved through the old man entirely, killing him and his soul at once. As a result, he found a pathway to go past the first layer of soldiers to make it to the next one.
