Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

It has to be said that Lu Sheng was even more formidable than Chen Tian had imagined. He had been biding his time until now, all for the sake of this final plan.

Lu Sheng must have known all along that these golden beetles were afraid of the cold, so he had specially prepared a magical artifact that could release cold mist.

However, Lu Sheng had not used this round cauldron before, perhaps waiting for the right moment.

Although the cold mist spewed out from this round cauldron could temporarily freeze those golden beetles, the duration should not be long, because at this moment, those frozen golden beetles had already begun to shake violently, intending to break free.

Therefore, Lu Sheng knew that in order to completely lure away these golden beetles, giving him enough time to enter the treasure hunt, he had to prepare bait.

And Chen Tian was that bait.

Lu Sheng was clear that those golden beetles would soon recover, and at the same time, they would become extremely enraged, and by then, they would launch a frenzied revenge.

So, after entering the cave, Lu Sheng used an ice wall to seal the cave entrance, so that only Chen Tian was left outside.

When those golden beetles completely recovered, because they were afraid of the cold on the ice wall, they naturally would not rush in. By then, they could only transfer all their anger to Chen Tian.

And in order to survive, Chen Tian would definitely flee everywhere, so wouldn't that just help Lu Sheng lure away those golden beetles?

With this time, Lu Sheng must have already obtained the treasure and then left calmly. As for Chen Tian's life and death, he wouldn't care.

What a meticulous plan!

What a vicious heart!

Even Chen Tian couldn't help but applaud Lu Sheng.

However, as the saying goes, even the most meticulous plans have oversights. Although Lu Sheng was clever, believing that he had considered all the factors, there was one point that he had overlooked.

That was that he had underestimated Chen Tian's methods.

In fact, from the moment he first met Lu Sheng, Chen Tian had been on guard against him, so how could he let him get his way at this time?

Although Lu Sheng was extremely vicious, trapping Chen Tian while sealing the golden beetles, forcing him to stay here, Chen Tian had already prepared a backup plan.

Chen Tian had investigated the surrounding frost and found it to be extremely strange. As long as he stepped out, he would instantly be frozen into an ice sculpture. And this was why Lu Sheng was confident in leaving Chen Tian here. He knew that as long as the ice did not recede, Chen Tian would never be able to get out.

And once the frost receded, the golden beetles would recover from their frozen state, and by then, they would naturally chase after Chen Tian.

Therefore, Lu Sheng firmly believed that Chen Tian would become bait, obediently luring away these golden beetles for him.

However, what Lu Sheng never expected was that long ago, Chen Tian had taken out a red talisman from his storage ring and held it firmly in his hand.

This red talisman was a powerful talisman that Chen Tian had slightly modified based on the talisman-making techniques taught by Feng Qingzi.

Its original name was 'Haotian Blazing Fire Talisman', which was a high-grade talisman that could instantly burst out with powerful heat. However, after Chen Tian's modification, he introduced a trace of essence earth fire vein sealed within it, which instantly increased its quality dozens of times. Therefore, Chen Tian renamed it 'Haotian Essence Dragon Blazing Fire Talisman'!

Chen Tian had put a lot of effort into making this talisman, and it was one of his great treasures for self-defense.

Originally, Chen Tian wanted to save it for when he met Jin Chi or Ji Ao, but the situation in front of him was equally grim, so Chen Tian had no choice but to use this extraordinary talisman here.

After making up his mind, Chen Tian's eyes flashed, and then he chanted a series of incantations, injecting them into this Haotian Essence Dragon Blazing Fire Talisman.

Suddenly, a strange light like blood flashed on the talisman, and at the same time, dragon roars continued to come from within.

After the talisman was completely detonated, a flood dragon burning with blazing flames instantly emerged from the small talisman, circling around Chen Tian.

This flood dragon was extremely similar to the fire dragon transformed by the essence earth fire vein, except that the fire dragon of the essence earth fire vein had five claws, while this flood dragon only had four, and the color of its body was slightly dimmer.

However, as soon as this flood dragon appeared, a huge amount of heat burst out instantly, and after merging with the frost that trapped Chen Tian, it immediately turned into a cloud of water vapor and disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Chen Tian's body, which had been imprisoned, instantly regained its freedom.

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

At the same time, relying on the heat brought out by this flood dragon, those frozen golden beetles couldn't help but struggle violently at this time, and the ice that trapped their bodies cracked with fine lines, as if they might break out of the ice at any time.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian quickly thought for a moment, then formed a hand seal and injected a ray of spiritual light into the flood dragon's body. Suddenly, the flood dragon's size quickly shrank, and finally returned to a red talisman.

However, compared to before, the color of this talisman was much lighter, and the power contained within it was also reduced by 30%.

Chen Tian stroked the talisman with great heartache, then put it away again. Then, he raised his head again and scanned his surroundings.

Due to the disappearance of the flood dragon, those golden beetles suddenly became quiet again, but the ice that trapped them was still receding rapidly.

After Chen Tian quickly scanned around, his face sank, and then he used the Shrinking Earth to Inch technique, pierced through the ice wall, and entered the cave.

Chen Tian's actions, although seemingly long, had only taken seven breaths, and Lu Sheng had just seen the situation in the cave clearly, with a trace of smugness and sinister intertwined on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you in such a hurry to come in, could it be that you want to eat alone?"

Just as Lu Sheng was secretly complacent, thinking that his plan was very thorough, suddenly, a rather familiar voice, but containing a strong chill, immediately exploded in his ears.

Hearing this voice, the smile on Lu Sheng's face instantly froze, and then he immediately turned around and looked back.

He saw Chen Tian, who should have been frozen outside, had already appeared behind him at some point, and was staring at him with an extremely cold smile!

At the moment he saw Chen Tian's figure, Lu Sheng's heart suddenly 'thumped' wildly, and beads of cold sweat flowed down his forehead, his face ashen!
