Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

In the blink of an eye, those hundreds of demonic beasts had rushed to a spot about a hundred zhang away from Chen Tian.

Seeing that Chen Tian was still standing there, showing no intention of fleeing, the sixth-order demonic beast at the forefront let out a loud roar and led all the demonic beasts behind it in a surging charge.

Up to this point, the demonic beasts' behavior was still normal; they had only one thought in their minds: to tear Chen Tian to pieces.

However, just as the demonic beasts had run for a while and were within fifty zhang of Chen Tian, suddenly, an anomaly occurred. The demonic beasts, who had been displaying fierce looks just a moment before, suddenly stopped in their tracks as if they had sensed something that terrified them.

Although the demonic beasts in front had stopped, the ones behind were completely unaware and continued to rush forward at great speed.

But just as they also ran to a spot within fifty zhang of Chen Tian, they immediately stopped, just like the demonic beasts before them, and let out low "woo woo" sounds from their mouths due to fear, not daring to move forward even an inch, but instead slowly retreating on all fours.

In an instant, those three hundred-plus demonic beasts all stopped about fifty zhang away from Chen Tian, forming a circle, and losing their previous ferocity. Instead, they lowered their heads, tucked their tails between their legs, and trembled uncontrollably, as if they were afraid of something.

Looking at their appearance, Chen Tian, who was surrounded by the demonic beasts, couldn't help but furrow his brows even more tightly.

Chen Tian had previously suspected that the strange behavior of those demonic beasts on his way back might be related to him.

Therefore, after leaving Shi Xiang Pavilion, Chen Tian did not immediately rush back to the Ghost Dao Sect, but instead detoured and re-entered the Western Mi Mountain Range to verify the suspicion in his heart.

Now, seeing the demonic beasts in this state, Chen Tian was finally completely convinced that the reason for their terror was himself.

Moreover, Chen Tian had vaguely guessed the specific reason, but in order to verify this idea, Chen Tian planned to do another experiment.

He raised his eyes, then reached out and wiped his forehead. Instantly, a golden spiritual light flashed, and a black flame mark suddenly appeared on Chen Tian's forehead. It was the brand that the demon king had carved on Chen Tian's body before, but it had always been hidden by Chen Tian with immortal power.

But at this moment, Chen Tian suddenly took the initiative to break the seal, exposing the black flame mark in front of these demonic beasts.

Seeing this strange phenomenon, Chen Tian's brows did not relax at all. After touching his chin, his figure flickered and chased after the sixth-order demon lion.

And in the process of chasing, Chen Tian separated a trace of spiritual power and injected it into the black flame on his forehead, causing it to shine with a strange black light.

As soon as this light appeared, the demonic beasts who were already terrified became even more panicked. Not only the first and second-order demonic beasts, but even those who had cultivated to the third and fourth orders, now seemed to have lost all hope, and all of them looked for a large tree and crashed into it, also committing suicide.

In a short while, half of the demonic beasts that had come to chase Chen Tian committed suicide by hitting trees. The ground was covered in blood, and the scene was extremely eerie.

However, Chen Tian didn't even look at these demonic beasts, but floated along, unhurriedly continuing to chase after the sixth-order demon lion.

Although the demon lion was still able to suppress the panic in its heart for the time being, and did not choose to commit suicide by hitting a tree like other low-level demon beasts, as Chen Tian approached, its running rhythm began to become chaotic, and it was obvious that it was also starting to panic.

However, after all, it had lived in this Western Mi Mountain Range for hundreds of years, so at this time, it gritted its teeth, exerted force with all four limbs at the same time, and actually accelerated a bit, running forward at full speed.

The situation at this time was exactly the opposite of what it had been before.

Before, the demonic beasts were chasing Chen Tian, but now, Chen Tian was chasing the demonic beasts unhurriedly.

And at this time, Chen Tian's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, as if he had finally figured out a problem that had been bothering him for a long time.

At this moment, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Chen Tian's expressionless face, and then he separated more spiritual power and integrated it into the mark on his forehead.

Suddenly, the light blooming from the black flame became even more dazzling and lush, and circles of purple light patterns spread out from the flame in all directions.

After being swept by these light patterns, all the demonic beasts below the fifth order let out a mournful roar, and then a look of despair flashed in their eyes, and they resolutely crashed into the giant trees near them, also committing suicide.

In an instant, only the sixth-order demon lion was left in this area, and all the other demon beasts chose to commit suicide.

Seeing this scene, a hint of curiosity appeared in Chen Tian's eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He didn't continue to chase, but stopped.

Seeing that Chen Tian was no longer chasing, the sixth-order demon lion was overjoyed, thinking that it was saved this time, so it ran forward even harder.

"咻……"

Suddenly, at this moment, an ear-piercing sound of breaking through the air rang out behind the demon lion.

Hearing this sound, the demon lion was startled, and was about to turn its head to see what it was, but suddenly, at this moment, a murderous red light enveloped its eyes. Immediately afterwards, its huge head and body instantly separated, rolling forward for a while before finally stopping under the roots of a giant stone tree and no longer moving.

And at this time, a long sword emitting a faint red light flew over. After searching through the demon lion's dead body, it finally used the tip of the sword to pick out a round bead emitting a yellow light.

Afterwards, the flying sword carried the yellow bead and flew back.

Chen Tian had been standing in place. Seeing the Hongluan long sword flying back, a smile appeared on his face. Then, he waved his hand, and a purple light flashed, taking the Hongluan long sword and the sixth-order demon core into the storage ring.

After doing all this, Chen Tian nodded in satisfaction, and a hint of realization also appeared in his eyes.
