Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

All that could be seen was an incredibly vast cave. The surroundings were unadorned, with no deliberate carvings. At the very center, a pool of frigid water churned with black mist!

This black mist was clearly extraordinary. Chen Tian could sense its extremely low temperature. Any mortal touched by this mist would likely be frozen into an ice sculpture instantly.

However, none of this greatly affected Chen Tian. What truly astonished him was the jet-black corpse floating in the very center of the frigid pool, identical to those in the murals of the crystal corridor outside!

Chen Tian recognized it instantly. This jet-black corpse was likely the ancient demon corpse that the Ghost Dao Sect's founding ancestor had discovered!

What shocked Chen Tian even more was the thousands of black tubes inserted into the corpse, from which the black mist flowed.

Furthermore, upon arriving here, the damaged Immortal bloodline within Chen Tian's body throbbed even more intensely, involuntarily absorbing some of the black energy flowing from the corpse.

This absorption was entirely driven by the Immortal bloodline itself, without Chen Tian's consent.

This greatly shocked Chen Tian. He tried to stop the Immortal bloodline from absorbing the black energy, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't halt it.

After absorbing some black demonic energy, the originally withered meridians of the Immortal bloodline actually regained a trace of vitality.

Chen Tian was overjoyed upon seeing this.

No wonder the Immortal bloodline had been urging him to come to the Holy Demon Grotto ever since he arrived at the Ghost Dao Sect! It turned out that the demonic energy here could help it recover!

Understanding this, Chen Tian ceased his attempts to interfere and allowed the Immortal bloodline to absorb the demonic energy to its heart's content.

Chen Tian casually chose a stone platform, sat down cross-legged, and immediately, the black energy flowing from the ancient demon corpse rushed towards him as if summoned, eagerly pouring into Chen Tian's body.

Or more precisely, it surged into the damaged Immortal bloodline, being devoured by it like food.

Above Chen Tian, a small vortex formed, continuously absorbing all the demonic energy within the cave into his body.

If Han Wuming were here and witnessed this scene, he would surely be greatly astonished.

They had established the rule of entering only once every three years not because they didn't want to absorb more of the ancient demonic energy, but because the demonic energy absorbed in one month required them to spend three whole years digesting and refining!

If they didn't completely digest the absorbed demonic energy and greedily absorbed more, they might experience demonic transformation!

And the consequences of being demonized were extremely dire!

But gradually, things started to go wrong.

First, the cultivator gradually lost his humanity, becoming manic and tyrannical. He even went out to capture live chickens, ducks, and even people to drink their blood on every full moon night!

Then his memory began to fade, and he became distrustful of everything around him.

Once, a disciple took a broom and wanted to help him clean his room, but he thought the disciple was trying to harm him, so he cruelly killed the disciple and attacked the other disciples who came to dissuade him!

Blood flowed all over the ground, but the heavy bloody smell made him even more manic, and he slaughtered the other disciples in the sect.

On that day, he killed almost two-thirds of the Ghost Dao Sect's disciples.

The newly established Ghost Dao Sect was in a precarious state.

But suddenly at this moment, he regained some sanity and hurriedly sealed the Holy Demon Grotto with five hundred and eight restrictions. He summoned his three personal disciples and instructed them that only disciples who had cultivated to the Transformation Spring Realm or above could enter the Holy Demon Grotto to absorb demonic energy, and for no more than one month. Anyone who violated this order would be killed without mercy!

After explaining this, he detonated his meridians and died!

Therefore, the Ghost Dao Sect disciples had always firmly followed the last order of the founding ancestor, entering the Holy Demon Grotto only once every three years and not daring to stay for long, fearing the appearance of a second demonized person!

But they never imagined that thousands of years later, a person named Chen Tian would actually enter this cave.

And as soon as he came in, he began to recklessly devour the pure demonic energy here.

Although the people in the Ghost Dao Sect were terrified of being demonized by absorbing too much demonic energy, Chen Tian didn't have this concern.

The Immortal race used to be the ruler of the entire world and the master of the demon race, so using the Immortal bloodline to absorb ancient demonic energy not only had no risk of being demonized, but could also use the demonic energy to repair the damaged Immortal bloodline.

Chen Tian only discovered this after coming here.

But this discovery was enough to make him ecstatic. After all, if he could repair the Immortal bloodline, then Chen Tian could condense immortal power again.

Therefore, Chen Tian didn't delay and began to frantically absorb this pure ancient demonic energy.

As the incredibly vast demonic energy poured in, the damaged Immortal bloodline within Chen Tian's body slowly began to repair.

This made Chen Tian pleasantly surprised, and he began to abandon all distracting thoughts and wholeheartedly absorbed the energy.

However, what Chen Tian didn't expect at this moment was that as this demonic energy poured in madly, a very tiny embryo suddenly condensed within his Immortal bloodline.

This embryo was completely enveloped in golden light, and a pure immortal power emanated from it.

If Chen Tian recognized this object, he would definitely be horrified, because this embryo was gestating a pure Immortal descendant.

Unlike Chen Tian, who had fused half of the Immortal bloodline and was half-human, half-immortal, this embryo was gestating a completely, truly Immortal descendant.

Chen Tian probably never imagined that from the very beginning when he decided to fuse the Immortal bloodline, he had fallen into a big trap.

Chen Tian thought that being able to fuse the Immortal bloodline was a good thing, but in fact, it was all a conspiracy, a conspiracy laid by the immortal he saw in the illusion.

In fact, Chen Tian didn't truly fuse the Immortal bloodline; he was just being used as a host.

A host that existed to nurture a true Immortal descendant!

And what Chen Tian didn't expect was that when this embryo grew up and hatched one day, it would be the day of Chen Tian's death!
