Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Having figured this out, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in horror, "You… what do you want to do?"

"Heh, what do I want to do?"

The man in the blue shirt was no longer weak. He stared at him with the eyes of a man looking at a dead man, a sinister smile appearing on his lips as he said coldly, "What you wanted to do just now is exactly what I want to do now! You, die!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the white-robed man's arm and with a fierce yank, flung him backward.

Before the white-robed man could even show a look of horror, his body was submerged by the swarm of golden beetles that had caught up.

These golden beetles, like corpse-devouring maggots, burrowed into the white-robed man's orifices, greedily absorbing the essence from his body.

Others, however, went straight down, tearing open the white-robed man's abdomen and digging out his nascent soul.

After a cultivator reaches the凝海(Ning Hai) realm, they will form a nascent soul. This nascent soul is the source of all their primordial spirit and power.

Even if the physical body is destroyed, as long as the nascent soul is intact, they can still use the夺舍(duoshe)大法(great art of seizing) to continue living.

But once the nascent soul is damaged, even if the physical body is intact, it is just a useless husk.

Therefore, the nascent soul is the essence and origin of a凝海(Ning Hai) realm cultivator!

But now, these golden beetles tore through the white-robed man's abdomen, completely exposing the nascent soul hidden within his dantian.

The nascent soul looked exactly like the white-robed man. In a panic, it clutched a treasured sword and instantly flew out of the body, trying to escape.

However, when the blue-shirted man saw this, his gaze suddenly turned cold. He formed a hand seal and shot a magic technique towards it, immediately stopping the nascent soul from escaping.

After this pause, the surrounding golden beetles swarmed over like a tide, quickly devouring it.

After letting out a final, unwilling cry, the white-robed man's nascent soul finally fell silent.

At this moment, the blue-shirted man stretched out his left hand and grabbed into the void. The treasured sword immediately flew towards him.

After obtaining the sword, the blue-shirted man sneered disdainfully, and then continued to flee forward.

He naturally knew that the white-robed man had wanted to offer him as food to these golden beetles, and then escape alone.

But who would have thought that the blue-shirted man had long seen through his trick, and used his body to block the golden beetles' pursuit, creating more opportunities to escape.

The Immortal Path is ruthless. Even though the white-robed man had once saved his life, in the face of life and death, he couldn't care about so much. Besides, if he hadn't killed the white-robed man, then he would be the one dying now.

"Brother Zeng, don't blame me. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being too stupid!"

After sighing in his heart, his expression suddenly turned gloomy, and his flying speed became even faster.

Because of the concealment of the Heaven-Veiling Feather Shawl, coupled with Chen Tian deliberately holding his breath and converging his aura, merging himself with the surrounding stone walls, this person did not notice Chen Tian's existence and quickly flew past him.

At the same time, those golden beetles finally devoured the white-robed man's nascent soul, and seemed to still be unsatisfied, chasing after the blue-shirted man again.

Soon, these golden beetles also came near Chen Tian. Seeing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel nervous.

Unlike humans, these insects have a natural, keen sense of touch, and might discover Chen Tian's existence, which made him feel quite nervous.

Fortunately, although some of the beetles seemed to have noticed something unusual and paused in front of Chen Tian for a moment, they quickly left and chased after the blue-shirted man. After all, compared to the hidden Chen Tian, the blue-shirted man's target was much more obvious!

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Chen Tian finally solved a problem that had been bothering him for a long time, which was why the abdomens of the previous twenty corpses had been torn open with a large hole.

Originally, Chen Tian thought they had been injured by some kind of magic treasure, but now it seemed that it should have been done by these golden beetles.

Chen Tian discovered that these golden beetles seemed to be very fond of absorbing the essence from cultivators' bodies, and the nascent soul, as the source of power for Ning Hai realm cultivators, had a natural and irresistible attraction for them, which was why they tore open the cultivators' dantians and devoured the nascent souls hidden within.

Just thinking about the pain those cultivators suffered before their deaths made Chen Tian's hair stand on end, and he trembled all over.

After waiting for a while, all the golden beetles finally passed in front of Chen Tian and chased after the blue-shirted man.

Only then did Chen Tian seem to make up his mind, and removed all the protective measures, flew out of this gap, and rushed towards the cave where the two had been earlier.

Chen Tian's speed was extremely fast, his entire body like lightning, instantly rushing into the cave.

However, as soon as he arrived here, Chen Tian's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

Although most of the golden beetles had gone to chase the blue-shirted man, some of them were still wandering aimlessly in the cave.

Most of them had just emerged from the ground, and missed the two 'foods' from before, and could only wander aimlessly in the cave.

However, as soon as Chen Tian entered, they seemed to smell the scent on his body, and their spirits shook, buzzing as they swarmed towards him.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian knew that the Heaven-Veiling Feather Shawl could no longer hide his tracks. To prevent the Heaven-Veiling Feather Shawl from being damaged by these beetles, Chen Tian resolutely took it off and put it into his storage ring.

At this time, Chen Tian's figure was completely exposed.

After seeing Chen Tian appear, the golden beetles were first stunned for a moment, and then, as if they had discovered a delicious and palatable 'food', they flapped their wings and swarmed towards him like a tide!

Looking at these strange beetles surrounding him, Chen Tian's face did not show any panic. He just narrowed his eyes, and then took out the folding fan he had obtained from the South Immortal Daoist, and with a gentle fan, a cloud of black smoke instantly rushed out of the fan, like a storm, sweeping towards the golden beetles!
