Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
chapter-1798

The Dragon Emperor remained aloft in the sky, overseeing the battle. For the past many minutes, he hadn't had to fight, so he freely watched the battle with the complete understanding that he was going to become the victor in this war.

He had absolute confidence.

After all, short of an Immortal himself coming to kill him, there was no chance for anyone in this war that could potentially kill him at all.

He watched Alex, Hannah, and Zhou Linfan fight in the distance, and slowly his eyes moved toward the battlefield below where a new fight was being fought.

He noticed Graham, Hao Ya, and Liz.

He watched Liz fight with swift movement, attacking and surviving the soldiers who were clearly stronger than her by a long shot. That was an incredible feat that she showed, but her strength made it so that she couldn't come out victorious in this battle.

His eyes then moved to Graham, who struggled in his fight against the ax-wielding leader.

The Dragon Emperor watched with amusement as that fight was more close combat than what would be expected of a cultivator.

'That man cannot use Qi properly, can he?' he thought. 'Is he a body cultivator?'

The thought made the Dragon Emperor even more curious about Graham. Given how the battle was going, Graham was bound to die within a couple of minutes.

He would have to remember to retrieve the treasures from this person's body later once the war was over. He needed to figure out how he was possibly cultivating his body to such a degree.

The Dragon Emperor wanted to find out if there was a cheap option he didn't know about. He wanted to learn about it if he could.

That was the most Graham was able to make the Dragon Emperor think about him.

Graham and Liz were nobody in his eyes, but Hao Ya was someone he very clearly remembered. He would never forget someone like her at all.

After all, she was the disciple of the Immortal who lived in the Central continent and was in charge of managing the teleportation formation back then.

So, the moment he laid his eyes on her, the Emperor's heart grew cold with fear. He saw where they were and remembered what she was capable of. Putting the two thoughts together, the Dragon Emperor was only able to think of the worst-case scenario.

Was that young girl trying to set the formation so she could teleport that very Immortal here?

"No…" he said softly. He couldn't let something like that happen at all. If the Immortal came and killed him, that would be the worst of all situations.

Before he knew he was doing it, the Dragon Emperor brought out a spear and flew toward them to fight.

Graham struggled in his battle against the man with the ax. Not only was the man stronger than him physically due to his Qi, but he was also very fast, making Graham unable to hit him most of the time.

The man swung his ax, sending a cleaving attack down toward Graham. Graham moved back just in time to dodge and activated his shoes to arrive next to the man to slash at him.

Darksteel glowed suddenly and grew large to become a towering sword as it came down on the man.

The man twisted his ax and swung upward quickly, clashing metal with metal. A loud ringing sound filled the battlefield before an explosion of light filled it suddenly as the man used an attack through the ax.

Graham was sent flying backward with his body littered with cuts from Dao of Cutting that came with the explosion of energy.

He stopped himself from flying too back and quickly focused his attention back on the man who was attacking him again.

Graham moved away from the attack and went around to attack the man front the side. However, the man wasn't caught off guard at all and sent his attack flying directly toward Graham.

Graham quickly put all he could into his sword and slashed down on the attack as hard as he could.

Another eruption of energy sent Graham flying backward with more wounds on his body. And this time, he felt a sharp pain in his chest as though a bone of his had broken.

It had been a long time since he had felt such pain.

As Graham tried to stop himself from flying too far, he heard a cry from behind him.

"Brother, dodge!"

It was Liz's voice.

Even as Graham spun through the air, his Demon Eyes saw two of the soldiers Liz was fighting turn around to attack him while he was unsuspecting.

The two attacks came for Graham, and even as he tried to protect himself, the attacks landed on him. Another explosion covered him completely and the soldiers rejoiced.

As they did, Graham flew out of the explosion, his body covered in no new wounds at all. His sudden arrival caused the soldiers to panic and prepare more attacks, and as they did, Liz moved from behind, attacking one of them.

They were strong enough that her attack did nothing to them, but it caused that one person to be slow to protect himself.

The massive Darksteel fell on the man, killing him at once. As for the attack that the other man used, Graham took it to the chest and scoffed it as though it was nothing.

The man stared in panic but was relieved as his leader came flying down toward Graham and Liz.

Liz immediately created a large bubble of slowed time as the man who was coming toward them seemed to slow down considerably.

"Kill him," Liz said, and Graham nodded.

The last of the two men that were attacking Liz died just as simply.

"Thank god!" Liz said as she breathed loudly. "You saved me, brother."

"Are you okay?" Graham looked at his sister, and Liz nodded.

"Focus on him," Liz pointed toward the incoming man and used the opportunity of slowed time to search for Alex in the sky.

Thankfully, she found him standing alone, looking down toward them. He seemed to have noticed what was happening down here.

"We have completed the formation," Liz sent him the message. "Hao Ya says the medallion to activate this formation lies with the Dragon Emperor, so I don't know what happens next."

While she sent the message, it would only be received by him a while later due to the time difference.

After that, Liz turned her head toward the battle ahead. As she did, off in the distance, she saw the Emperor who flew toward Hao Ya who was still in the middle of fighting her two enemies.

"Hao Ya!" Liz cried out. "She'll die."

Graham's eyes moved to look at Hao Ya in the distance, but they swiftly returned toward the man before him as he tightly gripped onto the Darksteel with his own two hands.

As scummy as it was, he had to protect himself and his sister here first. Hao Ya would have to protect herself.

"I wish her luck," Graham said and turned toward the ax-

wielding man.

His battle was here.
