Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Lu Sheng never imagined that Chen Tian would also try to snatch half of the jade scepter. This ruined all his previous plans.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, didn't we already agree? The treasured saber is yours, and I only want the jade scepter. Why are you going back on your word now?"

Although he couldn't understand why Chen Tian was doing this, Lu Sheng's heart was already overflowing with murderous intent. The round cauldron above his head immediately emitted a red light, as if it would attack Chen Tian at any moment.

Lu Sheng's little actions naturally didn't escape Chen Tian's eyes, but his expression remained calm as usual. He chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, to tell you the truth, from the moment you met me and tried to deceive me like a three-year-old child, all your calculations have been in vain. Did you really think I was an idiot? Hah, ridiculous! You can keep that treasured saber for yourself, I'm not playing with you anymore, I'll take my leave!"

Thinking of this, the anger in Lu Sheng's heart grew even stronger, and his eyes turned bloodshot with rage.

However, after finally making it inside, Lu Sheng didn't want to return empty-handed, so he turned his gaze to the other long saber.

Although he couldn't snatch the jade scepter, obtaining this treasured saber would be a small consolation for him.

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng ignored everything else and suddenly reached out to grab the long saber floating in the air.

But at this moment, something strange happened. The moment Lu Sheng's palm touched the long saber, he was instantly jolted back as if electrocuted. At the same time, fine wounds appeared on his palm, and traces of blood oozed out.

'What is this thing?' After noticing the anomaly on the long saber, Lu Sheng was once again stunned.

However, as if still unwilling to give up, his eyes turned red, and he shouted loudly before grabbing at the long saber again. This time, no matter how much pain he endured, he didn't let go, slowly pulling the long saber back.

But at this moment, the long saber suddenly flashed with bursts of golden light. Lu Sheng's palms were instantly pierced by these golden rays, creating wounds an inch long, dripping with blood.

Even the round cauldron that had been protecting him was struck by these golden rays, and countless cracks appeared on the cauldron's body. Finally, with a "bang," it shattered into pieces!

At this point, for the sake of his life, Lu Sheng finally gave up. He roared angrily, then quickly darted out of the cave, cautiously fleeing outwards.

Lu Sheng knew that his actions had exceeded the time limit. If he didn't escape now, he might face great danger.

However, man's calculations are no match for Heaven's. Although Lu Sheng felt that there was still some time before the ice seal broke, he never expected that Chen Tian had used a 'Haotian Essence Dragon Blazing Fire Talisman' earlier, greatly accelerating the ice seal's release.

So, before Lu Sheng could completely escape from the passage, the largest Corpse Beetle King suddenly roared, then broke free from the ice seal, charging towards Lu Sheng with a belly full of anger!

Seeing this scene, Lu Sheng instantly panicked. He couldn't believe that these golden beetles would break through the ice seal ahead of schedule.

He knew that his round cauldron was a treasure of their sect. Even if these golden beetles were powerful, they shouldn't have recovered so quickly!

However, Lu Sheng didn't know that the culprit behind all of this was none other than Chen Tian!

But at this moment, there was no time for Lu Sheng to think about the reasons. In his daze, the Corpse Beetle King was already approaching him with endless ferocity, and the footsteps of death were getting closer and closer!

However, how could Lu Sheng be willing to sit and wait for death? Despairingly, a hint of unprecedented madness appeared in his eyes. He then formed hand seals, and a red orb floated out of his mouth.

Looking at this red orb, Lu Sheng's eyes were filled with endless heartache.

Lu Sheng's sect had a unique divine ability, which was to divide the lifelong cultivation into two, thereby condensing a second spiritual infant.

In this way, it was equivalent to having an extra life. Even if the main body and the natal spiritual infant were destroyed, they could still be resurrected and rebuild their body with this second spiritual infant.

However, although this divine ability was powerful, it was also extremely difficult to cultivate. Lu Sheng's sect had only had five successful cultivators in tens of thousands of years. And Lu Sheng was one of them.

When he first came in, the reason why Lu Sheng seemed to only be at the early stage of the凝海境 (Sea凝境) realm was because he had stripped half of his cultivation into this red orb.

Of course, this red orb had not yet been completely refined into a second spiritual infant, but had only just formed an embryo.

And once it was finally completed, Lu Sheng's strength would instantly rise to another level. At that time, looking at the entire cultivation world, Lu Sheng would be able to rank in the top fifty and become a hegemon!

Therefore, Lu Sheng attached great importance to this red orb. For hundreds of years, he had been carefully hiding it, not letting anyone discover its existence.

But now, faced with this moment of life and death, Lu Sheng had no other choice. If he still wanted to live, then he could only use it!

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes and shouted angrily, "Explode!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the red orb flashed with dazzling red light. Then, with a "bang," the red orb, which contained half of Lu Sheng's cultivation, instantly exploded. A red arc of light immediately spread out, surging towards the surroundings like a storm.

The Corpse Beetle King, which was originally rushing towards Lu Sheng with a belly full of anger, immediately cried out in alarm after feeling the power of the explosion. Then, it curled its body into a ball, barely resisting the impact of the arc of light.

However, those golden beetles behind it, which had just recovered from their ice-sealed state, were not so lucky.
