Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"So that's how it is! So you've been using me all along, you tricked me!"

Only now did the Nebula Insect Demon King understand everything, and he also knew what the Wood Puppet Elder was plotting.

Immediately following, a powerful fear arose spontaneously from his heart. In his panic, he kept twisting his body, intending to break free.

But at this moment, streaks of cyan vines extended from the hundreds of rune-covered strange trees, coiling around his body in circles, binding him tightly. And with every struggle he made, the vines would tighten, until they wrapped around him so tightly that even breathing became painful.

"Tsk tsk, Brother Nebula, you and I were originally one, and now I just want to restore us to our original appearance, so why do you resist so much?" The Wood Puppet Elder's face was devoid of emotion, only a sinister smile as he stepped forward.

However, upon seeing this, the Nebula Insect Demon King's expression became even more terrified, and he twisted his body with the last of his strength, intending to escape. But to his despair, no matter how he struggled, he could not break free from the entanglement of these vines, and instead, he only invited greater pain.

Faced with all of this, the light in the Nebula Insect Demon King's eyes gradually dimmed, leaving only endless despair and terror!

And in his desperate gaze, the Wood Puppet Elder finally came to his side, a grin on his face, and sneered: "Brother Nebula, I told you before, my greatest hobby in life is to watch people's expressions of despair. Your current appearance is truly making me very happy!"

The Wood Puppet Elder's voice was extremely gentle, like a warm breeze in the spring, but hearing it in the Nebula Insect Demon King's ears made him feel as if he had fallen into an icy cellar in the dead of winter, the biting cold freezing him immobile.

Seeing this, the Wood Puppet Elder sneered again, and then, without further delay, he opened his mouth wide and bit the Nebula Insect Demon King hard, tearing off a large piece of flesh.

In the midst of the intense pain, the Nebula Insect Demon King wanted to roar, but he helplessly discovered that he didn't even have the strength to shout anymore, and could only allow the Wood Puppet Elder to eat his flesh piece by piece.

"Heavens, what on earth is happening?"

Faced with this sudden scene, the middle-aged beautiful woman's brain almost stopped working. She really didn't expect that the two people who were so close just now would suddenly turn on each other!

"Brother Chen, what do you think we should do next?"

Seeing such a bloody scene, Cao Fangcun's expression was also quite gloomy. After frowning, he looked at Chen Tian, as if seeking Chen Tian's opinion.

To be honest, even Chen Tian was frightened by this sudden change. He never expected that the situation would evolve to this point.

Watching the Wood Puppet Elder devour the Nebula Insect Demon King piece by piece, Chen Tian's heart suddenly began to feel uneasy.

Chen Tian felt as if a huge crisis was approaching them!

The reason why Chen Tian had not left all this time was to try to snatch back the Heavenly Dao Spring. After all, everyone has a trace of greed, and Chen Tian was no exception. Faced with such a great opportunity, Chen Tian really didn't want to give up. But now, after seeing such a bizarre scene, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured down on Chen Tian's head, instantly sobering him up from his desire-fueled state.

At the same time, Chen Tian immediately dismissed the idea of continuing to compete for the Heavenly Dao Spring, because he vaguely sensed that if he continued to stay, a great disaster might befall them!

Knowing when to advance and when to retreat has always been Chen Tian's greatest magic weapon for navigating the world of cultivation. Therefore, in the face of the lurking crisis, Chen Tian quickly made a decision: he was going to retreat!

After quickly thinking it over in his mind, Chen Tian's face was serious, and he said coldly to the crowd: "Let me ask you, which do you think is more important, the Heavenly Dao Spring, or your own lives?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the crowd, who were originally still in shock, immediately jumped in fright, and then hurriedly turned their heads to look at Chen Tian.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, what do you mean by this?" The gray-robed old man seemed a little puzzled and asked Chen Tian.

"It's very simple. I feel that the current situation is far beyond our control. If we continue to stay here, not only you, but even I will die here. So I have decided to give up the Heavenly Dao Spring and leave immediately. I just don't know what you all think?" Chen Tian said in a deep voice, his expression unchanged.

"What? Give up the Heavenly Dao Spring?" Just as Chen Tian's voice fell, the crowd seemed to have been hit by a strong impact, their mouths wide open, at a loss.

You must know that the gray-robed old man, Diviner Pu, and the others had already paid a great price to obtain this Heavenly Dao Spring, and they also hoped to use the Heavenly Dao Spring to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, so how could they give up so easily?

Therefore, after hearing Chen Tian's suggestion, everyone fell silent and hesitated.

"I support Brother Chen's decision. Now may be the only chance for us to leave here. If we are one step late, no one can predict what will happen. So I think it's better to leave now." Just as the crowd was silent, Cao Fangcun's eyes were firm, and he agreed.

And seeing that Cao Fangcun agreed, the two Cao family elders who came with him naturally echoed in unison, also saying that it was better to leave now.

Only when looking back at the gray-robed old man and the others, they were still somewhat hesitant. After all, they had paid the most and suffered the greatest losses this time. They had originally hoped to obtain the Heavenly Dao Spring to make up for their losses, but now it seemed that all of this was ultimately impossible.

"Alas, forget it. While there is life, there is hope. Then let's go out first!"

After a arduous and unparalleled ideological struggle, the gray-robed old man finally compromised helplessly.

Seeing this, the crowd naturally did not want to be outdone, and followed closely behind Chen Tian, also flying towards the entrance.

"Hmph, want to run? Not so easy!"

The Wood Puppet Elder, who was devouring the Nebula Insect Demon King, suddenly raised his head after discovering Chen Tian and the others' intentions. At the corner of his mouth, there were still drops of dark green blood flowing down.

That was the blood from the Nebula Insect Demon King!

Immediately following, he stretched out his hand, and suddenly, from the hundreds of rune-covered strange trees, streaks of cyan vines shot out again, chasing after Chen Tian and the others.

These vines flew extremely fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, they arrived behind the crowd.

Only then did the crowd discover that at the end of these vines, there were actually blood basins that looked like mouths, the sharp teeth biting together, making a sound like metal colliding.

"Ah! Help! Fellow Daoists, please save me!"

The middle-aged beautiful woman was the weakest among the crowd, and she had also been injured before, so her flying speed was slightly slower. She was caught by a vine at the front end, and it climbed onto her body. The bloody mouth bit hard on her fragrant shoulder, and began to greedily suck the blood from her body.

Tormented by this intense pain, the middle-aged beautiful woman was shocked and hurriedly asked the crowd for help.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's face suddenly turned gloomy!
