Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian finally understood why these demonic beasts were so afraid of him; it turned out it was all because of the black flame on his forehead.

Chen Tian reached out and stroked the black flame pattern on his forehead, a cheerful smile once again appearing on the corner of his lips.

As the saying goes, good fortune lies within bad, and bad fortune lurks within good.

Although Chen Tian had this mark engraved on him by the demon king, at the same time, he also inherited a trace of the demon king's aura.

Originally, this black flame was the demon king's natal soul, and by separating a wisp of it and merging it into Chen Tian's body, it was equivalent to giving Chen Tian a trace of the demon king's aura.

So, strictly speaking, these demonic beasts were not afraid of Chen Tian, but were afraid of this wisp of the demon king's aura.

Although these demonic beasts absorbed the spiritual power of heaven and earth for many years and cultivated demonic power, in the end, they were still a group of wild beasts that could only act on instinct. Therefore, after sensing this kingly aura, they were frightened and turned to run.

The entire Western Mi Mountains was like an independent kingdom, and the demon king, for the demonic beasts living within it, was both their father and their monarch.

Therefore, every demonic beast was terrified of the demon king's aura from the bottom of their hearts.

Chen Tian had also noticed before that within the domain of the frog-tribe demon king, no demonic beast dared to approach within hundreds of miles.

In fact, this was because of the demonic beasts' fear of the demon king from the depths of their souls.

Therefore, after obtaining this wisp of the demon king's aura, although Chen Tian could not command all the demonic beasts like a true demon king, he could make these demonic beasts fear him from the bottom of their hearts.

It was just that this wisp of the demon king's aura was too weak. Chen Tian had just experimented and learned that the maximum effect was only on fifth-order demonic beasts, while its effect on sixth-order and above demonic beasts would diminish in turn.

Otherwise, Chen Tian would have been able to make that sixth-order demon lion commit suicide by crashing into a tree out of fear, just like the other demonic beasts.

But Chen Tian was not a greedy person. Such an unexpected gain already made him extremely happy, and he certainly would not ask for anything more.

Thinking of this, the resentment in Chen Tian's heart caused by the demon king engraving the mark on him was immediately reduced by a fraction. He muttered to himself, "Forget it, I've already been chased by enough strong people. One more doesn't make a difference, and one less doesn't matter. Let's think about tomorrow's problems tomorrow!"

Speaking of this, Chen Tian couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.

Chen Tian really felt a bit helpless. At this time, he was being chased by Pan Linghai of the Pan family, and he was also worried about the unknown creature residing in his body, not knowing what it was or what impact it would have on him in the future.

It could be said that there were too many troublesome things happening to Chen Tian, so now that there was one more demon king with unclear intentions, Chen Tian simply gave up and ignored it.

After all, when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. Chen Tian could not predict what would happen in the future, and the only thing he could do was to improve his strength as much as possible in order to prepare for a rainy day!

Chen Tian was not a pessimistic person, so after this thought in his heart, his mood calmed down again.

Chen Tian turned his head and glanced behind him, and found that those demonic beasts that had died from crashing into trees were still lying quietly on the ground.

Looking at these demonic beasts, Chen Tian's eyes flickered rapidly, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he slowly walked towards the corpses of those demonic beasts and dug out the demon cores from their bodies.

It should be said that these were all lower-level demonic beasts, the highest being only fifth-order. After cultivating to Chen Tian's level, he somewhat looked down on them.

But Chen Tian was different. He always picked up whatever he found, regardless of its value. After all, even if a mosquito's meat is small, it's still meat, isn't it?

There were more than three hundred demonic beast corpses here, and they were scattered randomly without any pattern.

It took Chen Tian a full hour to dig out all the demon cores from the bodies of all the demonic beasts.

After putting all the demon cores into his storage ring, Chen Tian finally let out a long breath, stood up, and stretched his body.

It was already very late at night, especially in the Western Mi Mountains, which seemed even more filled with yin energy and fear.

The pink escaping light was traveling quickly, as if it was extremely panicked.

The cyan escaping light behind her, however, seemed much more steady, chasing leisurely, as if teasing her.

Only after reaching the sky above Chen Tian's location did the owner of the cyan escaping light seem to finally lose patience. The light and shadow split, sending out a huge cyan sword shadow, ready to slash at the pink escaping light.

The owner of the pink escaping light, of course, knew that things were not good. In a panic, she immediately flew downwards.

It was just that whether it was intentional or unintentional, the direction she chose was actually right where Chen Tian was.

"Damn it!"

After seeing this scene, a trace of annoyance suddenly appeared on Chen Tian's face, but he didn't dare to delay. He patted his storage ring and took out the Heaven-Shielding Feather Gauze again. After putting it on, Chen Tian's figure disappeared into the thick night, hiding in the canopy, coldly watching the situation below.

At this time, the pink escaping light finally arrived here in a panic. The light dissipated, revealing a woman with a graceful figure.

"Huh?"

However, after seeing this woman, Chen Tian's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in his heart.

Because he could see clearly that this plump woman was actually Qin Yi!

It was just that Qin Yi was a bit disheveled at this time. The left half of her sleeve was gone, as if it had been forcibly pulled down, revealing her lotus-root-like white arm.

Moreover, the white floral dress she was wearing was also damaged in many places at this time. As she walked quickly, her slender and alluring jade legs were faintly visible.

Chen Tian's eyes narrowed when he saw this. He knew that this was definitely not a normal situation. It seemed that this woman was in big trouble.
