Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

This Source Immortal Power is the fundamental power of every Immortal Clan member. Jin Chi has been unable to advance to a true Immortal because he couldn't fuse with the Source Immortal Power, preventing him from achieving the formidable strength of the Immortal Clan, where they can destroy a planet with a mere flick of the wrist.

Therefore, upon hearing Chen Tian say he would give the Source Immortal Power to Jin Chi, Ji Ao was utterly astonished. He stared blankly at Chen Tian, wondering if Chen Tian had gone mad or simply become foolish.

In reality, Chen Tian was neither mad nor foolish. Instead, his gaze revealed an unwavering determination!

Seeing Chen Tian's current demeanor, Jin Chi, who had previously displayed an air of arrogance, now showed a hint of trepidation. He understood Chen Tian too well, and it was precisely because of this that he sensed something amiss.

Chen Tian had always been an astute individual, never engaging in unprofitable ventures. How could he believe that Chen Tian would so easily give him the Source Immortal Power?

Although Jin Chi was eager to fuse with the Source Immortal Power and advance to a true Immortal, Chen Tian's actions made him extremely wary. For a moment, he stood frozen, unsure of what to do.

"Master, what should we do now?" At that moment, Immortal Lord Ziwei, seemingly sensing the strangeness, stepped forward and asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, the sinister look on Jin Chi's face intensified. After pondering for a moment, he fixed his icy gaze on Chen Tian and said, "Hmph, don't think you can fool me with these petty tricks! Know that I can easily kill both of you with a wave of my hand. No matter how hard you try, it's useless!"

After much deliberation, Jin Chi finally decided to adopt the most cautious approach, slowly wearing Chen Tian down!

After all, Jin Chi's strength far surpassed that of Chen Tian and Ji Ao. Killing them was only a matter of time, so Jin Chi didn't need to be greedy or take risks, as that might fall into Chen Tian's trap.

Jin Chi believed that it was better to adopt a steady and methodical tactic. As long as he killed Chen Tian, wouldn't the Source Immortal Power ultimately belong to him?

Thinking this, the confusion in Jin Chi's eyes instantly diminished, and he once again revealed a sinister gaze, looking contemptuously at Chen Tian.

However, after hearing Jin Chi's words, a mocking smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Chen Tian's mouth. He shook his head and chuckled, "Jin Chi, I didn't expect you to be so naive after all these years. Do you think that once I die, the Source Immortal Power will continue to exist?"

"Hmm?" Jin Chi's face, which had been filled with self-satisfaction, suddenly felt a sense of unease after hearing Chen Tian's words. Then, Jin Chi narrowed his eyes, focusing intently on the golden giant formed by the Source Immortal Power.

"This… what's going on?"

After examining it, Jin Chi seemed to have discovered something. A look of horror appeared on his face, which then turned into intense anger. He roared, "Chen Tian, if you dare to mess around, I'll make sure you suffer a fate worse than death!"

It turned out that Jin Chi had discovered that within the golden giant formed by the Source Immortal Power, there was a powerful and intricately linked, strange restriction!

This restriction was like a bomb that could explode at any moment. Once detonated, the Source Immortal Power would instantly dissipate, vanishing into the heavens and earth, never to exist again.

What angered Jin Chi even more was that the fuse to detonate this bomb was linked to Chen Tian. In other words, once Chen Tian died, the bomb would immediately explode, and Jin Chi would never be able to complete the final fusion.

Having confirmed this, Jin Chi's gaze towards Chen Tian was as venomous as could be, wishing he could swallow Chen Tian alive right then and there.

However, unlike Jin Chi's anger, Chen Tian seemed unusually relaxed. The corner of his blood-stained mouth suddenly curled upwards, a smile mixed with mockery and ridicule instantly appearing on his face: "Jin Chi, what you said is really interesting. Anyway, I'm going to die soon, so what's the difference between a good death and a bad death to me? Either way, it's just death!"

Speaking of this, Chen Tian paused, then smiled again and said, "However, I do feel sorry for you. Once I die, you will never be able to complete the final transformation. And if you can't obtain the long lifespan of the Immortal Clan, it means that you will slowly die too. Tsk tsk, how pitiful!"

Indeed, if Jin Chi couldn't transform into a true Immortal, then he would only be considered a mortal with slightly higher strength than ordinary people. And as long as he was human, no matter how high his cultivation or how strong his strength, there would always be a day when he would slowly die of old age!

In other words, if Jin Chi couldn't obtain the Source Immortal Power, then after countless years, he would eventually lose his vitality and die, unable to achieve the immortality of the Immortal Clan!

Chen Tian had grasped this point, so in the past thousand years, he had used all his knowledge to finally design an extremely ingenious restriction mechanism, using his life as the trigger, as the detonator of the restriction. At this moment, Chen Tian's years of hard work had finally paid off!

As Chen Tian had imagined, after learning about the situation he was facing, Jin Chi was immediately caught in a dilemma. Because if he killed Chen Tian, the restriction hidden within the Source Immortal Power would instantly detonate, scattering Jin Chi's only hope of advancing to the Immortal Clan. But if he let Chen Tian go, wouldn't Jin Chi's humiliation in the past thousand years have been in vain?

To kill or to spare?

At this moment, Jin Chi was deeply troubled.

Looking at Jin Chi's troubled face, Chen Tian seemed to understand his inner thoughts, and immediately chuckled, "How about this, Jin Chi, I'll make one last deal with you. I wonder if you're willing?"

"Hmm? A deal?" Hearing Chen Tian's words, Jin Chi, who had been deeply troubled, suddenly narrowed his eyes, looking at Chen Tian with a slightly suspicious expression and said, "What, do you want to use this Source Immortal Power as a threat to make me let you go?"

At this time, Jin Chi was extremely angry, and he deeply felt that he had been played by Chen Tian, which made him very unhappy!

However, just as Jin Chi was troubled, Chen Tian's voice echoed again: "You're wrong, I'm not asking you to let me go, what I'm asking for is something else!"
