Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Unlike the devastated surroundings, the Immortal Clan Avatar remained completely unscathed. It floated silently in mid-air, its face retaining its usual expression of neither joy nor sorrow.

At the same time, the Immortal Clan Avatar was enveloped in an extremely dazzling golden light. The power of immortality that the Silver-Haired Elder and the others had sensed earlier was contained within this golden light.

Once all the destructive force of the self-detonation had completely dissipated and the world had returned to silence, the Immortal Clan Avatar slowly opened its arms, revealing Chen Tian, who had been protected in its embrace.

Chen Tian's face was extremely gloomy. As soon as he appeared, he hurriedly turned his head, looking around as if searching for something.

After a while, Chen Tian seemed to have discovered something. His brow furrowed, and standing on the Immortal Clan Avatar's shoulder, he willed the Avatar to stride towards a pile of rubble to the right.

The Immortal Clan Avatar was still covered in a thick layer of immortal power. Wherever it passed, countless boulders and broken trees instantly turned to dust. With such brute force, it soon arrived at the place Chen Tian had indicated.

This place had originally been a mountain as huge as Mount Qifeng, but it had been affected by Li Qianyun's self-detonation and collapsed, forming this chaotic pile of rubble.

After arriving at this place, Chen Tian pondered for a while. Finally, with a blank expression, he opened his mouth again and softly said, "Dig!"

Upon hearing this command, the Immortal Clan Avatar did not hesitate. With a gentle wave of its hand, which was as large as a fan, countless boulders were blown away and exploded in the air.

The Immortal Clan Avatar's methods were extremely crude, without any skill. It used the most savage and violent methods to carry out Chen Tian's orders.

Under such barbaric actions, it didn't take long for the rubble pile, which had originally been thousands of feet high, to be scattered, leaving only a thin layer at the bottom.

At this moment, the Immortal Clan Avatar raised its palm again, preparing to strike down.

If this strike were to land, without a doubt, the last layer of boulders underneath would instantly turn to ashes and dissipate completely.

Realizing this, Chen Tian frowned again and suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

The Immortal Clan Avatar's arm was already halfway down, but upon hearing Chen Tian's urgent cry, it did not think twice and immediately froze in the air!

Seeing this, Chen Tian immediately jumped down from the Immortal Clan Avatar's shoulder and said to it in a cold voice, "Thank you for your hard work. You may return now. I will take care of the rest."

Upon hearing Chen Tian's words, the Immortal Clan Avatar nodded slightly to Chen Tian with a blank expression. Then, its figure turned into a golden light and rushed back into Chen Tian's body.

After the Immortal Clan Avatar left, Chen Tian's expression was gloomy. With a flick of his hand, he took out the Profound Forbidden Immortal Sword.

Holding the sword in his right hand, Chen Tian glanced at the rubble pile and suddenly slashed forward fiercely. Instantly, sword energy crisscrossed, turning into a long dragon that roared and galloped across the rubble pile.

With a flick of its massive tail, a large boulder instantly exploded. After exploding more than a dozen boulders in a row, the long dragon seemed to have discovered something and immediately circled in the sky, screaming incessantly.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian's face became even colder, but he did not hesitate. With a flash of his figure, he arrived at the location where the long dragon was circling.

This was a huge pit, with scattered boulders piled around it. In the middle of the pit, a black spiritual flower slowly rotated.

Furthermore, within this black spiritual flower, one could vaguely see the figure of a woman—it was Li Qianyun!

"Just as I thought, you're not really dead!" When Chen Tian saw Li Qianyun's figure hidden in the black spiritual flower, the gloom on his face intensified again!

It turned out that when Li Qianyun self-detonated, Chen Tian knew that the power would be extremely vast, and ordinary objects would not be able to withstand it. Therefore, in desperation, Chen Tian could only summon the Immortal Clan Avatar and use the Immortal Clan's freakishly powerful body to protect him from this disaster.

As expected, what happened afterward confirmed Chen Tian's thoughts. At the moment Li Qianyun self-detonated, an unprecedentedly vast power swept out, frantically impacting everything around it! If Chen Tian hadn't had the Immortal Clan Avatar to withstand it, his body would have been torn into countless pieces in this terrifying power.

Fortunately, the Immortal Clan Avatar was naturally gifted and had a strong body. Even though the power of Li Qianyun's self-detonation had reached the Zhutian realm, it still could not harm the Immortal Clan Avatar, thus protecting Chen Tian at the critical moment of life and death.

Originally, Chen Tian thought that under the impact of this terrifying power, Li Qianyun must have already suffered the backlash of the self-detonation and died.

But what Chen Tian never expected was that just after he left the Immortal Clan Avatar, he suddenly noticed a very faint aura.

Although this aura was as weak as a gossamer thread, Chen Tian recognized it at a glance. This aura belonged to Li Qianyun!

In other words, Li Qianyun was not dead!

Surprised, Chen Tian immediately released his spiritual sense, locked onto Li Qianyun's approximate range, and then urged the Immortal Clan Avatar to come here.

The reason why Chen Tian forcibly stopped the Immortal Clan Avatar's actions just now was because he had already realized that Li Qianyun was in the last layer of rubble. With the Immortal Clan Avatar's barbaric and crude methods, Chen Tian was afraid that with one palm strike, Li Qianyun's body would explode and die instantly like those rocks. Therefore, he switched to the Profound Forbidden Immortal Sword and carefully cleared the scattered stones in this area, finally finding Li Qianyun!

At this moment, Li Qianyun was hiding in her natal spiritual flower, as if she had suffered extremely serious injuries. Her whole body was covered in blood, making her red dress even more shocking!

Moreover, Li Qianyun had already lost her previous arrogant posture, like an injured lamb, panting heavily in the spiritual flower, drenched in cold sweat, as if in great pain.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian pondered for a while, then suddenly stretched out his right hand and pointed to the Profound Forbidden Immortal Sword floating in the sky.

At this moment, the Profound Forbidden Immortal Sword burst out with dazzling light again, as if it had received some command. It heavily chopped down, and with a 'snap' sound, the natal spiritual flower that protected Li Qianyun suddenly shattered, eventually turning into starlight and disappearing.

"Pfft!"

This natal spiritual flower was where Li Qianyun had condensed her life's cultivation. With its demise, Li Qianyun seemed to have suffered a backlash, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her originally weak aura became even weaker!
