Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Unlike the others, the red light in this man's eyes was slightly dimmer, allowing him to regain some control over his consciousness.

When he saw the mountains of corpses around him and the endless slaughter below, the middle-aged man suddenly laughed wildly, brandishing his long sword and roaring at the sky.

By this time, the blood river had already reached Chen Tian's ears. Although Chen Tian desperately wanted to hear what this man was shouting, he couldn't hear a single word. He could only see the man cursing madly, and with his voice, red lightning bolts fell from the sky.

Chen Tian was very familiar with these red lightning bolts. They were the Heavenly Tribulation that descended when he broke through to the凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm).

Back then, Chen Tian used countless magical treasures and methods to barely survive the Heavenly Tribulation. However, for every sentence this middle-aged man spoke, a red lightning bolt dozens of times thicker than the one Chen Tian had endured struck him.

However, this man completely ignored these Heavenly Tribulations, enduring them all with his physical body. He spoke faster and faster, his expression becoming increasingly manic.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian's heart was greatly shaken. He imagined that if it were him, any one of those lightning bolts would be enough to destroy his physical body and Nascent Soul.

But this middle-aged man actually withstood these extremely powerful lightning tribulations with his physical body alone! This was enough to show that this man's strength was very strong! Far beyond Chen Tian's imagination.

"Good, since heaven wants to destroy me, then I will destroy your Heavenly Dao! What逆天成仙 (defying the heavens to become immortal), ridiculous... haha... ridiculous..."

Just as the rising blood river was about to engulf Chen Tian's head, he suddenly heard the last words spoken by the middle-aged man. Immediately afterward, a series of explosions rang out, and the powerful force shook the entire world.

However, at this time, Chen Tian's entire body was submerged in the blood river, as if he were drowning, causing his consciousness to gradually fade.

Just when Chen Tian thought he would die like this, suddenly, a faint beam of light shot into his eyes. Instinctively, Chen Tian hurriedly swam towards the direction of the light, and what appeared before him was a huge gate of light. After Chen Tian arrived, a huge suction force suddenly came from the gate and sucked him in.

When Chen Tian opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that he had returned to the top of the mountain!

"Hoo... hoo... hoo... hoo..."

After regaining his senses, Chen Tian gasped for breath, his forehead covered in cold sweat, terrified. He looked as if he had just experienced a nightmare.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Tian's originally chaotic mood finally calmed down. After taking another deep breath, he slowly raised his head and looked around.

He saw that the sunlight, which had been blocked by dark clouds, was now shining down again, making people feel a burst of warmth. On the chessboard in front of Chen Tian, many chess pieces had unknowingly fallen, scattered and dense.

However, after careful examination, Chen Tian found that he had lost this game by half a point!

However, Chen Tian didn't care about winning or losing the game at all. After quickly thinking about it in his heart, as if he understood something, he hurriedly raised his head and looked at Immortal Lord Ziwei in the distance and said, "Senior, what is going on? What was it that this junior just saw?"

Immortal Lord Ziwei stood still from beginning to end. It wasn't until he heard Chen Tian's question that he sighed slightly. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the huge chessboard in front of the two, along with the dense chess pieces on it, all turned into dust and disappeared.

After doing all this, Immortal Lord Ziwei looked at Chen Tian with a serious expression and said, "What you just saw was the last image left behind when the Ancient Immortal Realm collapsed!"

"What?"

Although he had vaguely guessed something, Chen Tian was still shocked when he heard Immortal Lord Ziwei say this.

One wave subsides and another rises. After hearing Immortal Lord Ziwei's words, the surprise and doubts in Chen Tian's heart increased rapidly.

Countless questions, like a flood, kept rushing towards Chen Tian's mind, causing Chen Tian to almost have a splitting headache.

"Eh... that's not right!"

However, just at this moment, Chen Tian seemed to suddenly think of something. His eyes narrowed, and he suddenly looked at Immortal Lord Ziwei in the distance, his tone gloomy, "Senior, who exactly are you? Was everything just now your doing behind the scenes?"

Chen Tian knew that everything just now must have been done deliberately by someone, intentionally letting him see it.

And obviously, this mastermind could only be Immortal Lord Ziwei.

"Chen Tian, you are indeed very smart." After hearing Chen Tian's words, Immortal Lord Ziwei chuckled, but soon, his expression gradually darkened, and he nodded, "You guessed right, everything you just experienced was my doing, as for my identity, with your intelligence, you should have guessed it long ago, right?"

Immortal Lord Ziwei didn't say it directly, but instead looked at Chen Tian with an extremely strange expression.

However, after hearing his words, Chen Tian's breathing became rapid, and he said in a deep voice, "Could it be that you are really an immortal who survived from the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

If others heard Chen Tian's words, they would definitely think that Chen Tian's guess was extremely ridiculous, after all, the Ancient Immortal Realm had already collapsed for a long time, how could anyone still survive?

But Chen Tian couldn't laugh at all. On the contrary, he stared at Immortal Lord Ziwei with a complicated gaze, as if waiting for his answer.

Looking at Chen Tian's serious appearance, Immortal Lord Ziwei suddenly smiled bitterly, then nodded, which was considered an admission.

Although Immortal Lord Ziwei didn't say a word, in Chen Tian's heart, it was already filled with the intense shock that was constantly emerging, making his brain blank.

What exactly is going on?
