Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Squeak… squeak… squeak squeak… squeak squeak squeak…”

At this moment, the black rat, which had been suspended above the fireball, emitting circles of cyan light that imprisoned Chen Tian, began to screech.

The rat was now covered in sweat, its smooth fur sticking together. It panted heavily, seemingly at its wit's end.

Hearing its cries, Mu Qingyun smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I understand. This kid has been tempered in the fireball for so long, it seems like the time is almost up. Okay, you come back, I don't think he can play any more tricks."

The black rat was originally transformed from the Yao-surnamed man. Hearing Mu Qingyun's words, it felt relieved, stopped applying the cyan light circles to Chen Tian, and, breathing a sigh of relief, prepared to fly back.

But suddenly, at this moment, something unexpected happened to everyone.

Just as the black rat withdrew all the cyan light circles, an arm suddenly stretched out from the raging fireball, grabbing the black rat fiercely in its hand.

“Squeak squeak… squeak squeak squeak squeak… squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak…”

Caught by this large hand, the black rat panicked instantly, struggling and screaming in terror.

Its cries were extremely miserable, immediately attracting everyone's attention, especially Mu Qingyun. His face, which had been full of smiles, froze instantly when he saw the arm.

“Chen Shidi, is that you? Chen Shidi?”

On the other side, Zhang He and the Lu-surnamed Shidi also stopped their confrontation. Both of them looked at the fireball in astonishment, but soon, Zhang He came back to his senses and shouted in surprise.

At this moment, the raging flames on the fireball instantly extinguished, revealing a giant egg similar to a chicken egg.

The giant egg was fiery red all over, with wisps of white smoke constantly rising from it.

At the very top of this giant egg, a powerful arm broke out, tightly grasping a terrified black rat.

“Crack… crack…”

Immediately afterward, a series of crisp sounds came from inside the giant egg. At the same time, cracks began to appear on the eggshell.

First one or two, then three, six, countless…

These cracks spread out from the arm as the center, and soon, the eggshell of the giant egg was covered with fine cracks.

At the same time, Chen Tian's figure reappeared, and in his hand, he was tightly holding the panicked black rat.

At this time, Chen Tian was dressed in white, his face unchanged, without any signs of injury.

“This… this is impossible…”

Mu Qingyun was shocked. The temperature inside the fireball was as high as several thousand degrees. If a piece of gold was thrown in, it would be melted in no time. Chen Tian had stayed in this terrifyingly high temperature for nearly a quarter of an hour. Even if he had spiritual power to protect his body, he should have been seriously injured.

But now, looking at Chen Tian, he looked calm and composed, his clothes intact. Where were there any signs of injury!

“Chen Shidi, are you alright?”

While Mu Qingyun was stunned, Zhang He finally broke through the obstruction and came to his side.

Chen Tian smiled slightly and said, "Zhang Shixiong, don't worry, this little bit of temperature is fine for roasting sweet potatoes, but for me, it's just warming up my body, it's nothing."

As he said this, Chen Tian looked at Mu Qingyun. In fact, most of these words were meant for him.

Mu Qingyun was not a stupid person to have climbed to his current position, so after hearing Chen Tian's words, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Chen Shidi, I was too much just now, please forgive me if I have offended you! But can you please release my demonic pet first?"

“Demonic pet?” Chen Tian's face showed a strange smile after hearing this, and after pinching the black rat in his hand, he asked, “Are you talking about this little guy?”

Chen Tian's movements just now seemed gentle, but in fact, he used a fierce force, so after being kneaded by him like this, the black rat immediately howled in pain again, looking like it was in agony.

Mu Qingyun's heart tightened after hearing this, but he didn't show it on his face, and said dejectedly: "Yes, Chen Shidi, this demonic pet is very important to me, so can you please release him first, and then we can discuss it slowly. If you want to claim compensation, I will also agree."

Mu Qingyun had completely lost his temper at this time. He asked himself that if he stayed in the fireball with a temperature of several thousand degrees for a quarter of an hour, he would definitely be burned by the flames, and even damage his Dao foundation.

But Chen Tian was not only not injured, but also looked relaxed and comfortable, which was enough to show that Chen Tian's strength was stronger than Mu Qingyun had imagined. In addition, Yao Shidi was now pinched in his hand, which made Mu Qingyun have to yield.

Looking at Mu Qingyun's dejected appearance, Chen Tian's eyes turned, and he said: "Okay, since this is Mu Shixiong's beloved demonic pet, of course Chen will return it, please accept it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange look flashed in Chen Tian's eyes again. He pinched the black rat with both hands, not returning it to Mu Qingyun, but slammed it hard on the ground.

“Squeak squeak… squeak squeak squeak…”

In the shrill screams, the black rat was heavily thrown to the ground, and suddenly its figure dispersed, turning into strands of black mist.

After a burst of transformation, these mists finally condensed into the appearance of a gentle man, who was Yao Shidi.

Looking at this phantom, everyone immediately understood and began to curse loudly, scolding the Yougui Sect for being despicable and shameless.

Seeing that his trick was exposed, Mu Qingyun's face instantly became unsightly. He cupped his hands to Chen Tian and said, "Chen Shidi, please don't blame me, I actually have my own difficulties, I… I…"

“You what?”

Chen Tian was too lazy to listen to his excuses, and hurriedly interrupted: "Mu Shixiong, it was clearly agreed before that each side would send two people to participate in the competition. But you guys are good, you sent all three people out. I can't pretend that I didn't see this. Tell me, how should this be resolved?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Mu Qingyun's forehead was covered with sweat. Indeed, being exposed in public, this matter could not be concealed.

‘It seems that I can only bleed heavily!’

Mu Qingyun sighed helplessly in his heart and said to Chen Tian, "Okay, I accept all compensation, Chen Shidi, tell me, what do you want?"
