Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

It must be said that this demonic mutation in the West Mi Mountains has truly evolved too crazily.

Initially, it was only fifth and sixth-order demonic beasts that emerged from the deep forests, coming to the land to attack human cultivators.

But as time went on, seventh-order, eighth-order, and even the legendary ninth-order demonic beasts also appeared in people's sight.

The West Mi Mountains shattered their former peace and tranquility, transforming into a hellish killing field.

Especially the black demonic aura permeating the entire valley, further adding to the gloom and mystery.

After this mutation occurred, the Shi Xiang Pavilion urgently assembled twenty demon extermination teams, dispatched to various entrances of the West Mi Mountains, wanting to stop the demonic beasts from leaving the deep forests and prevent them from stepping into human territory.

But unfortunately, with the appearance of more and more high-level demonic beasts, the southern, northern, and western fronts were repeatedly defeated, and the demon extermination teams sent to those directions suffered heavy casualties in battles with the demonic beasts.

This could not help but make the cultivators participating in the demon extermination teams feel a desire to retreat.

In order to stabilize this declining trend, the Shi Xiang Pavilion kept increasing the stakes, raising the reward for Qi Activation stage cultivators from two sixth-order demon cores to four sixth-order demon cores and one seventh-order demon core; raising the reward for Spirit Induction stage cultivators from one Dragon Saliva Pill to two pills.

But in this atmosphere of sorrow, there was still an encouraging piece of news, that is, in the battle on the east side, the demon extermination team composed of human cultivators not only did not lose to the demonic beasts, but instead advanced triumphantly, driving all the demonic beasts that tried to approach back into the West Mi Mountains.

This news was like a timely rain, bringing back the morale of the army that was about to collapse.

There are a total of four demon extermination teams dispatched to the east, namely the Third, Eighth, Eleventh, and Fourteenth teams.

And the reason why they were able to win consecutive victories was largely due to the contribution of the Fourteenth Demon Extermination Team.

For half a month, the four demon extermination teams in the east have launched dozens of battles, large and small, against the demonic beasts, and each time the Fourteenth Team was at the forefront.

They did not blindly attack or fight independently, but cooperated with each other in an orderly manner, as if they were one.

For example, every time they fought, they would send five people as vanguards, acting as bait to guide the demonic beasts to a pre-arranged ambush site.

If they could use traps to solve them, that would naturally be the best.

But once they encountered higher-level demonic beasts and they smelled the aura of the traps, then the Fourteenth Team would immediately switch to the next plan, with the fifteen people with the highest strength in the middle as the central army, ten people in the rear as guards, and three people on the left and right sides for support.

For a time, the thirty-plus people of the Fourteenth Team seemed to have transformed into a whole, tearing through the defenses of the demonic beasts with the most violent attacks, and their leader completed the final kill.

Under such a combat plan, the Fourteenth Demon Extermination Team advanced triumphantly, invincible, and was described by others as the 'Devil's Fourteenth Team'.

As for the other three teams that also belonged to the eastern battle, they completely benefited from the Fourteenth Team, without having to exert too much effort, and could also pick up some ready-made demon cores behind the Fourteenth Team.

This made the demon extermination teams fighting in the other three directions envious, and they all wanted to transfer over and team up with the Fourteenth Team.

Of course, regardless of their thoughts, at this time, the Fourteenth Team was marching mightily towards the next location where demonic beasts appeared.

"Boss, the group of demonic beasts we just fought was really disappointing. We worked hard for a long time, but in the end, there was only one sixth-order demonic beast, and the rest were third and fourth-order demonic beasts. It's simply uninteresting to collect those demon cores."

At this moment, a blue-clothed youth at the Great Perfection of the Qi Activation stage flew to Chen Tian's side and said with some complaint. After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

However, even so, the gazes of these people towards Chen Tian were full of admiration.

Originally, they had also doubted Chen Tian's strength, thinking that such a young person really had combat experience?

But after several major battles with the demonic beasts, the contemptuous thoughts in everyone's hearts were shattered by Chen Tian's powerful strength.

Because Chen Tian took the lead at the beginning of the battle, bearing the brunt of most of the demonic beasts' attacks with his own strength, which greatly reduced the burden on everyone.

At the same time, Chen Tian really fulfilled his promise, and he tried his best to save any companion who could still be saved.

For example, once when fighting with demonic beasts, everyone saw that the highest strength among them was only fifth-order demonic beasts, so they relaxed a little in their hearts.

But who knew that at this moment, an inconspicuous demonic beast suddenly exploded in strength, increasing from the initial third-order strength to the seventh-order.

This scene, which was beyond everyone's imagination, instantly stunned them, and they stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

And when everyone was panicked, the seventh-order demonic beast immediately grabbed two stunned people and turned around and ran towards the depths of the West Mi Mountains.

However, at this moment, Chen Tian's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly flew out, chasing after the demonic beast.

After a long time, Chen Tian brought back the two disciples whose bodies were only half-eaten and were barely breathing, and helped them circulate their energy to stop the injuries.

And after seeing this scene, everyone believed Chen Tian's words, he once said that even if only a breath was left, he would save people back.

Chen Tian said this, and he also did it.

So his prestige suddenly became tall in everyone's hearts, and no one dared to doubt Chen Tian any more, and they all regarded him as the boss from the bottom of their hearts.

But at the same time, everyone also had some doubts in their hearts, because Chen Tian had said that if he encountered a demonic beast that was difficult to deal with, he would not hesitate to abandon people.

But obviously, Chen Tian was still very comfortable dealing with a seventh-order demonic beast single-handedly.

So everyone couldn't help but guess in their hearts, where is the bottom line of Chen Tian's strength?

But these doubts passed after thinking about it, and everyone's life after following Chen Tian was so comfortable.

At first, everyone regarded the demon cores of the third-order demonic beasts as treasures.

But now when they encounter these third-order demonic beasts again, they don't even have the heart to take the demon cores, and skip them, even if it is to give the other three demon extermination teams a snack.

It can be said that everyone in the Fourteenth Demon Extermination Team admired Chen Tian from the bottom of their hearts.

But even so, Chen Tian's face was always gloomy, and he did not neglect because of the repeated victories, because Chen Tian knew that danger often comes when people are most relaxed.

Chen Tian would not allow danger to have a chance, so he had to be vigilant at all times.

"Help... Is there anyone?... Please save me..."

However, just as everyone was flying, a cry for help suddenly came from a deep forest below them.
