Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian knew that this green jade ornament must contain some secret. Therefore, even if he couldn't get the long sword, Chen Tian still planned to get this green jade ornament as a consolation.

But what he didn't expect was that, in the end, due to a mistake, he forcibly broke the entire intact green jade ornament into two halves.

Holding only half of the green jade ornament, Chen Tian was unsure whether he could unlock the hidden secret within.

Looking at the other half of the green jade ornament that was firmly embedded in the lotus stone platform, Chen Tian felt a surge of unwillingness.

He knew that he had risked his life to come in and retrieve the treasure, but in the end, not only did he fail to get the long blade that looked extraordinary, but he only got half of the green jade ornament.

Such an outcome fell far short of Chen Tian's expectations.

Therefore, Chen Tian made up his mind that he must get the other half of the green jade ornament as well.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian once again raised the Azure Phoenix Longsword, wanting to continue attacking the stone platform to blast the other half of the green jade ornament out.

"Buzz... Buzz buzz buzz..."

But suddenly, at this moment, a deafening noise echoed behind Chen Tian. He hurriedly turned around and found that those golden beetles had already broken through the barrier of black mist and rushed in.

These golden beetles, like hellish demons who had been hungry for thousands of years, stared at Chen Tian with red eyes as soon as they rushed in, as if they wanted to devour him alive immediately.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian couldn't help but curse inwardly. Then, he decisively gave up the idea of taking the other half of the green jade ornament. With a flash, he rushed towards the passage at the fastest speed, intending to retreat.

However, these golden beetles were unwilling to let their 'food' escape. Almost the moment Chen Tian left, they flapped their wings and chased after him.

So, for a time, in this narrow passage, Chen Tian fled forward desperately, and behind him, a large group of golden beetles with red eyes were chasing closely, the scene was extremely dangerous.

It was not until this time that Chen Tian discovered another difference, that was, the flying speed of these golden beetles was hundreds of times faster than those Profound Demon Corpse Accompanying Worms in the Fallen Immortal Valley.

Even if Chen Tian used all his strength, he still couldn't get rid of them. Instead, they gradually narrowed the distance, and it looked like they were about to catch up.

"Damn it, what exactly are these things!"

Looking at the golden beetles chasing closely behind, Chen Tian secretly worried in his heart.

He had just witnessed the fate of the white-robed man. Almost in an instant, these golden beetles engulfed his body like a tide and dug out his nascent soul to devour it.

The whole process was extremely fast and cruel, and the white-robed man didn't even have any power to resist.

So Chen Tian understood that if he was caught up by these golden beetles, then the only fate waiting for him was death!

However, how could Chen Tian sit still and wait for death so easily?

Feeling the tide of insects approaching him, Chen Tian's mind raced, thinking about how to escape.

Suddenly, Chen Tian recalled that the green-shirted man had thrown the white-robed man to these golden beetles as bait, which gave him more time to escape.

Chen Tian turned his head and saw that the golden beetles were already less than a zhang away from him, and they would soon catch up.

Time was running out, and Chen Tian couldn't hesitate any longer. So, his eyes flashed coldly, he grabbed these black flags and shook them violently, and suddenly, wandering souls rushed out of these black flags.

And just when these wandering souls had just appeared, the eyes of those golden beetles suddenly flickered, as if they were extremely excited, and they opened their mouths and pounced on them to devour them.

The power of the golden beetles seemed to far exceed Chen Tian's imagination. He saw them just open their mouths and suck, and suddenly, an entire wandering soul was completely sucked into their stomachs.

After eating this wandering soul, they seemed to be still not satisfied, and continued to pounce on the other wandering souls.

Although these wandering souls were already dead objects, they still retained some intelligence after all. Naturally, they were unwilling to die in vain, so they fled everywhere.

The wandering souls were formless, so most of them chose to drill into the stone walls on both sides, wanting to escape this catastrophe.

But what the wandering souls didn't expect was that these golden beetles didn't seem to have any intention of retreating. They saw their hard mouthparts bite lightly, and the stone wall instantly turned into tofu, and they bit out a gap. Then, they passed through the stone wall and continued to devour and destroy these wandering souls one by one.

However, because too many golden beetles bit through the stone walls in pursuit of the wandering souls, the surrounding originally extremely hard stone walls instantly became riddled with holes, as thin as paper scraps.

With a "boom", the section of the passage behind Chen Tian completely collapsed, with rubble flying all over the sky.

Then, like a chain reaction, the stone walls behind Chen Tian kept collapsing, and huge rocks smashed down on Chen Tian.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian bit his teeth, exerted his strength, and continued to speed up a bit, fleeing for his life forward.

Fortunately, those wandering souls successfully diverted the attention of the golden beetles, so that they had no time to chase Chen Tian anymore. Therefore, along the way, Chen Tian no longer had to worry about the danger from the golden beetles.

"Boom!"

But just as Chen Tian had just relaxed, suddenly another unexpected situation made his heart tighten.

It turned out that a section of the passage in front of Chen Tian couldn't withstand the pressure and collapsed as well.

In other words, Chen Tian's path ahead was blocked, and the path behind was still collapsing continuously, and it would soon spread to his side.

"What should I do now?"

Anxiously, Chen Tian hurriedly looked around, wanting to see if there were any other passages here.

Suddenly, Chen Tian saw a thin crack on a stone wall not far from him due to the collapse, and a little light was shining through the crack.

'There is light here, then it means that there must be a cave inside!'

After a little investigation, Chen Tian couldn't help but get excited. Then, he rushed into this crack without any hesitation!
