Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The gray-robed old man originally thought he was definitely going to die this time, but he didn't expect that the Xuanjin Immortal Sword would actually hover in front of him. In shock, he quickly opened his eyes again and found that Chen Tian had come before him at some point, staring at him with a gloomy expression.

Seeing this scene, the gray-robed old man swallowed hard, cold sweat streaming down his face, and said in horror, "You... what do you want to ask?"

"Don't be nervous, it's nothing difficult for you, just a small question." Chen Tian grinned, but his eyes were still as cold as winter frost. Seeing this in the gray-robed old man's eyes made his body tremble again.

At this moment, Chen Tian's voice sounded again, faintly: "I ask you, what exactly happened here? Why are so many cultivators dead here?"

After saying that, Chen Tian shifted his gaze from the gray-robed old man and looked at the surrounding void.

Here, the corpses of many cultivators seemed to be frozen in time, floating in the void, slowly drifting. In the distance, many new corpses floated over, turning this void into a huge graveyard!

Chen Tian had been full of doubts about all of this, so after seeing the appearance of this gray-robed old man, he took the opportunity to ask him about it.

"Huh? Could it be that you two fellow cultivators haven't heard of this major event?"

"Huh!"

Looking at Chen Tian's rapid change in attitude, the gray-robed old man couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. After meditating for a while, he finally nodded and said, "Alright, since you don't know, then I'll tell you about it, but let me say this first, once I'm done talking, you must let me leave and never go back on your word!"

"Naturally, I said before that as long as you answer my question, I will naturally spare your life." Chen Tian said calmly, smiling.

After hearing Chen Tian's guarantee, the gray-robed old man's originally suspended heart instantly relaxed, and then he slowly began to narrate.

It turned out that after a period of exploration, this treasure hunt was almost coming to an end, and there was only half a month left until the deadline given by the Frozen Devil Realm.

Regardless of whether they had gained anything from this trip, the cultivators who entered the Ruins of the Devil Realm began to retreat one after another.

However, at this juncture, an unbelievable thing happened.

About seven days ago, a strange man suddenly walked out from the depths of the Ruins of the Devil Realm. This person was very strange. He wandered aimlessly, killing all the cultivators he encountered, regardless of gender!

Moreover, this person's methods were shocking. Without using any magical weapons, he simply raised his hand and a swift sword qi would be emitted, sealing the throat of the person with one sword!

The cultivators who died at his hands ranged from the mid-stage of the Transformation Spring Realm to the late-stage of the Coagulation Sea Realm, and belonged to different sects, with no pattern to be found.

Finally, people understood that this man was a demon who killed anyone he saw!

After confirming this, many cultivators from the same sects as those who were killed automatically formed a demon-slaying army, wanting to go and kill the demon.

But the reality once again exceeded everyone's expectations. No matter how many people came, this demon seemed to be fearless, killing them all, and the method was still sealing their throats with one sword!

At this time, everyone discovered an even more shocking fact: this man had no vitality at all and was actually a dead corpse!

"Hmm? You said that man is a dead corpse?" Hearing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but be surprised, interrupting the gray-robed old man's narration.

In fact, from the very beginning, Chen Tian had a vague guess. It wasn't until he later heard that the man was a dead corpse that Chen Tian finally confirmed that this man was probably the strange male corpse he had encountered before.

"That's right, it's a dead corpse!" Although he didn't know why Chen Tian was so surprised, the gray-robed old man quickly repeated it.

After thinking for a while, he added again: "Actually, it's not very accurate to say it's a dead corpse, because after some investigation, a senior in the cultivation world recognized that the male corpse was actually a sword spirit!"

"What? You said that male corpse is a sword spirit?" Chen Tian was originally thinking about other things, but after hearing the gray-robed old man's supplementary words, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

At the same time, He Busi, who was healing his injuries on the side, also suddenly stood up and quickly walked to Chen Tian's ear, whispering, "Brother Yang, do you think that male corpse could be..."

"Shh, this is not the place to talk, don't speak yet, we'll talk later." However, before He Busi could finish speaking, Chen Tian took the lead to stop him, then glanced at the gray-robed old man in front of them.

Seeing Chen Tian's actions, He Busi seemed to understand, and stopped speaking as instructed, but stayed by his side, his eyes gleaming.

In fact, although He Busi was healing his injuries just now, he was also paying close attention to the movements here. It wasn't until he heard that the male corpse was actually a sword spirit that he couldn't bear it any longer. He dragged his unhealed body over to this side, also planning to listen carefully to what was going on.

Looking at the strange appearance of the two, the gray-robed old man couldn't help but become curious, stunned in place, not knowing what to do.

Chen Tian seemed to see the fear in his heart, his expression returned to calm, and he said indifferently: "Don't think too much, just say what you want to say. What happened to that male corpse, oh no, that sword spirit?"
