Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 2438 - 2428: Panicked and Lost

Long Yan froze. The commotion was as powerful as Heaven Shaking Earth Shattering. Besides that King of the Central Mountain Range, Long Yan couldn’t think of any other Demon Beast that could cause such a disturbance here.

"Damn it!"

Even Long Yan couldn’t help but curse. What on earth was this Cracked Earth Bear made of? It took such a terrifying attack from itself yet didn’t die or lose consciousness. This thing is far beyond what a cultivator can comprehend, isn’t it?

But no matter how much Long Yan complained, the Cracked Earth Bear’s tall figure still stood like a small mountain, emitting incomprehensible roars from its mouth. The scariest part was when the Cracked Earth Bear turned its head and saw Long Yan, its initially small eyes turning completely red.

Unlike Long Yan, the Cracked Earth Bear fully absorbed the force of its own attack, suffering the most damage itself. But since the move related to its Five Elements, its resistance to Earth Attribute True Qi was at its peak, and the damage was merely from the explosion.

However, even the explosion made the Cracked Earth Bear faint for a while before waking up. Yet when it saw Long Yan, it understood why enemies are particularly resentful upon meeting—it remembered the culprit who caused it so much harm despite being a beast.

As a result, as it turned its head to see the culprit still standing there unharmed, the Cracked Earth Bear felt an unstoppable rage. Initially, it had no need to unleash such a powerful move, but Long Yan was running around like a pesky ant, irritating it, hence it had used its strongest attack.

Unexpectedly, it was tripped by the Magic Gun, causing most of the attack’s power to strike itself. How could it not be angry? Immediately, it stomped its two stout legs and charged toward Long Yan.

This terrified Long Yan out of his wits. Facing the tank-like Cracked Earth Bear, Long Yan originally felt sore all over, but this frightened him into full alertness, and he bolted. Behind him, the Cracked Earth Bear’s furious roar occasionally echoed, but this time Long Yan definitely didn’t dare look back. If he slowed down even a bit, he might face the Cracked Earth Bear’s slap.

Long Yan almost wanted to curse Old Madman’s ancestors for eighteen generations. Of all places, why here? He had been left in the Cracked Earth Bear’s territory and now was running his legs off, yet the Cracked Earth Bear showed no sign of letting him go.

Long Yan didn’t know how to persuade the Cracked Earth Bear to spare him, so he tried negotiating. As the rumbling behind him paused, Long Yan felt a spark of hope—it seemed the Cracked Earth Bear could communicate.

Long Yan intended to negotiate with the Cracked Earth Bear, but as he turned his head, he saw a palm growing larger in his eyes. In his panic, Long Yan could only place his hands before him as the Cracked Earth Bear’s giant palm slammed fiercely onto him.

The slap was so powerful it shook the ground around, but the pain did not come from Long Yan’s body. When he opened his eyes, he saw Old Madman standing in front of him.

"You know how to come out! I almost died at the paws of this big bear."

"Roar!"

The Cracked Earth Bear could understand some human speech. Hearing Long Yan speak of it like that, it roared angrily but it was impotent rage, as its giant paw couldn’t move a single step forward.

Suddenly, Long Yan noticed Old Madman’s apparition seemed a bit faint, causing Long Yan to retreat two steps instinctively, as he had an uneasy feeling inside, like there was something he was unaware of.

"Hey! Apprentice!"

Appearing not to notice Long Yan’s expression, Old Madman turned his head to look at Long Yan with a handsome smile. While his demeanor was eccentric, Old Madman was clearly a very handsome man in his youth. However, the next words shattered the little goodwill Long Yan had for Old Madman.

"Don’t say anything to me. I can’t hear you because this is just a phantom. I only appear when your life is critically threatened, but there won’t be such luck next time. Try to escape; I’m about to dissipate."

As soon as Old Madman’s words fell, his figure dissolved into countless light spots and vanished—it seemed to be just a Godly Thought, usable only once.

"Damn Old Madman, didn’t you say you would soon dissipate? Why did you vanish immediately?"

In truth, Old Madman’s Godly Thought dissipating had nothing to do with Long Yan, but the crucial point was the tank standing before him.

The Cracked Earth Bear felt the barrier on its paw disappear, and it slammed a strike fiercely at Long Yan, its speed several times faster than before. Clearly, Long Yan’s earlier taunt had been highly effective.

"Old Madman, I won’t let you go even as a ghost!"

"Hmm? Achoo!"

In Mercenary Town, Old Madman, buried in drunken dreams, sneezed violently—is someone thinking of him?

Old Madman lightly shook the wine jug in his hand, certainly sensing the Godly Thought he had placed on Long Yan had already vanished. How had Long Yan already encountered such life-threating trouble on the first day, considering his aptitude seemed rather poor?

But Old Madman typically paid no mind to this; earlier, his Cultivation was ordinary too, and his Master threw him into the Middle Mountain Range. Yet in hindsight, Old Madman felt proud, as using his Master’s Godly Thought was only when he encountered the true King of the Central Mountain Range: the Cracked Earth Bear.

Indeed, in Old Madman’s eyes, Long Yan must have used it recklessly. At that time, Old Madman was lucky; encountering the Cracked Earth Bear on the sixth day, he was nearly killed without any resistance, and it was only when his Master found him on the seventh day that he had a restful sleep.

Of course, he didn’t expect Long Yan’s luck to be worse, meeting the Cracked Earth Bear on the first day and wrestling with it nearly all day.

Long Yan’s current state was pitiful; his originally white shirt torn by the surrounding shrubs hung in strips on him as he gasped, leaping between the Big Trees like a Monkey.

The Cracked Earth Bear hadn’t given up yet, constantly slapping the Trees Long Yan passed with its huge paws. If not for Long Yan’s speed, he would have been slapped to the ground by the Cracked Earth Bear long ago.

Long Yan felt all his strength drained, yet the Cracked Earth Bear relentlessly pursued him, swinging its giant paws time and again. Just when he finally managed a sharp turn, a dilapidated temple appeared before Long Yan.

Though it seemed a bit ominous, Long Yan still bit the bullet and darted inside.
