Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“It’s a demon core!”

Looking at the round bead radiating pure demon essence, a thought flashed through Chen Tian's mind, instantly stopping him from retreating.

‘I didn't expect the demon core of this whale demon beast to be here!’ Chen Tian felt a little incredulous.

But now the problem is, if he wants to obtain that demon core, he must approach this strange corpse.

So, should he take it, or not?

Chen Tian was caught in a dilemma.

After thinking for a while, Chen Tian's eyes sharpened, and he finally made up his mind: take it!

Chen Tian was not a coward. In the nearly hundred years since he embarked on the path of cultivation, Chen Tian had never feared any dangers or obstacles.

What stood before him was a demon core of a Sea Condensation Realm demon beast, which was enough for Chen Tian to take the risk.

However, Chen Tian was not a fool. Relying solely on courage would not allow him to gain a foothold in the cultivation world. What Chen Tian had relied on along the way was not just his luck.

Chen Tian didn't rush over. Instead, he pondered in his heart. After a moment, he stretched out his right hand, and a piece of immortal power shimmering with golden light floated out.

Chen Tian quickly formed hand seals, used this piece of immortal power to set up a restriction, gently patted it, and patted the restriction into his forehead.

After doing all this, Chen Tian carefully floated towards the corpse.

Chen Tian's nerves were tense, for fear that the corpse would suddenly move.

However, the final result surprised Chen Tian.

Because until he reached the corpse, Chen Tian did not encounter any strange things.

‘Could it be that I'm overthinking it?’ Chen Tian wondered in his heart.

But in any case, it was a good thing to be able to go so smoothly. Chen Tian relaxed a little, and then reached out to take the demon core floating above the corpse's head.

But suddenly, at this moment, the corpse's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and then a black smoke rushed out like lightning, and before Chen Tian could react, it drilled into his eyes like a spark!

“Boom!”

A thunderclap suddenly rang in Chen Tian's mind, and a huge force seemed to tear his consciousness apart.

Chen Tian's eyes lost their color and became dark. He looked like he had lost his soul, standing still in place, motionless.

“Haha, three thousand years, this old man has finally seen the light of day again!”

Chen Tian's lips opened and closed, uttering words that were both familiar and strange.

They were familiar because it was Chen Tian's voice; but they were strange because Chen Tian would never speak in such a tone.

At this time, Chen Tian was as if he had been possessed.

“This body is only at the Spirit Gathering stage? Although it's a bit low, it's okay. After this old man goes out, as long as I spend some time, I will definitely be able to restore my former glory! Haha… Hahahaha…”

This strange 'Chen Tian' began to laugh arrogantly.

However, he hadn't laughed for long when he suddenly seemed to have encountered something terrifying and began to panic: “Huh… what's going on? This old man's soul… no… no…”

The voice stopped abruptly here.

Looking at Chen Tian again, it was found that the black gas in his eyes began to shrink rapidly, revealing his previous wise and bright eyes again.

At this time, Chen Tian frowned, and then continued to reach out to take the demon core floating above the corpse's head.

This time, there were no strange phenomena. Chen Tian very easily took the demon core in his hand.

The demon core of this Sea Condensation Realm demon beast was indeed extraordinary. As soon as Chen Tian got it in his hand, he could feel an incomparably majestic power surging out from it, as if it would fly away if he didn't hold it tight.

Chen Tian smiled slightly, and then with a flip of his hand, he put it into his storage ring.

After putting away the demon core, Chen Tian's expression suddenly became gloomy. He raised his index finger and tapped his forehead, and said coldly, “Come out!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of black smoke floated out from Chen Tian's forehead, constantly transforming in the air. Finally, an old man in a black robe with a withered face appeared in front of Chen Tian.

If you look closely, you can find that the old man's face is actually the same as the corpse's.

“Who are you? Why are you here?” Chen Tian stared at the old man and shouted sharply.

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the old man's face showed a trace of helplessness, because his feet were now trapped by a golden circular restriction. This restriction was very strange, as if the caster could make him disappear in an instant with just a thought.

Needless to say, this restriction must have been set up by the young man in front of him. He originally thought that he had finally found a body to possess, but he didn't expect this body to be so clever, and he had made preparations in advance, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

There was no way. Now that he was under control, the old man did not dare to hide anything, so he smiled bitterly and said, “Fellow Daoist, please don't be angry. This old man's name is Duan Muya, and I was one of those who entered the Fallen Immortal Valley three thousand years ago to search for treasures. However, because I was being hunted down, I was seriously injured. Just when I thought I was bound to die, I suddenly encountered this demon beast, which was still in its infancy, so I used its body to barely survive.”

The old man named Duan Muya spoke respectfully, not daring to offend Chen Tian in the slightest.

Chen Tian was shocked after hearing this. Although he had thought that this old man's cultivation was high, he didn't expect it to be so high. The late stage of the Sea Condensation Realm? Looking at the entire Qian Yuan Continent, he belonged to the top group of people.

However, after the shock, what followed was deep fear. Chen Tian's eyes sank, and he said coldly: “If you were only at the Transformation Spring Realm, I might spare your life, but your cultivation is too high. Keeping you makes me uneasy, so I'm sorry, I must kill you!”

Before Chen Tian took the demon core, he was afraid that the corpse would change, so he used immortal power to make a 'Soul-trapping Restriction' according to a method recorded in the bone slip.

This 'Soul-trapping Restriction' does not have much effect on living people, but for souls, once trapped, their life and death are out of their control, all in Chen Tian's hands.

At this time, after learning that Duan Muya was actually at the late stage of the Sea Condensation Realm, Chen Tian was afraid that he would not be able to suppress him at that time, and there might be a danger of being backlashed by him.

So, in order to be careful, Chen Tian must get rid of him!

At this time, Duan Muya also understood Chen Tian's thoughts, and a strong look of horror appeared on his face!
