Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Duanmu Ya was eager to enter the Bone Tower, an intention he had already fully revealed. After being thwarted by Chen Tian twice in a row, he couldn't help but feel a bit angry, a rare occurrence where he became upset with Chen Tian.

However, facing the furious Duanmu Ya, Chen Tian's expression remained calm and unperturbed. He said indifferently, "Senior, please don't be offended. My actions are actually for your own good."

"What? For my own good?" Hearing Chen Tian's words, Duanmu Ya, who was initially angry, immediately calmed down a bit. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Alright, then tell me, how exactly are you looking out for this old man?"

Chen Tian smiled slightly and said, "Doesn't Senior find it strange? Since someone deliberately hid the key so well, their purpose should be to prevent people from easily entering the Bone Tower. If that's really the case, then they certainly wouldn't let us obtain the key so easily. Therefore, I think there should still be some mechanisms or hidden tricks involved. For Senior's safety, I think it's best not to let you take the risk yourself."

"Not bad, little one. I was reckless. You are more considerate." Hearing Chen Tian's words, Duanmu Ya had completely calmed down. He nodded in agreement and then revealed a look of doubt, saying, "But if neither of us goes down, then how are we going to get the key?"

"Senior, don't worry. I naturally have an idea."

After Chen Tian responded with a smile, he waved his hand and summoned a cloud of blood mist.

Inside the blood mist, the two Corpse Puppets stood in confusion.

Chen Tian glanced at them, noticing that their bodies had fully recovered and become lively again.

Satisfied with their condition, Chen Tian nodded. Then, he extended a finger, pointed at the two Corpse Puppets, and then pointed at the pond beside them, saying in a somber tone, "You two go down and help me retrieve that key!"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the two Corpse Puppets thought that something good was waiting for them again, so they hurriedly ran to the side of the pond.

However, when they poked their heads out and glanced into the pond, suddenly, as if they had discovered something extremely terrifying, they were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated, shouting 'woo woo' in their mouths, looking very unwilling.

Seeing their appearance, Chen Tian's face immediately darkened. He commanded them again, "Go down!"

However, the two Corpse Puppets still ignored him and turned their heads away, pretending to admire the surrounding scenery.

Originally, these two Corpse Puppets had developed a trace of affection for Chen Tian, and Chen Tian thought they would obey his orders.

But he didn't expect that they would show resistance to his orders at this time, which made Chen Tian quite annoyed.

Therefore, under Jia Yan's roar, although very unwilling, they had no choice but to move their feet and come to the edge of the pond.

Looking at the dark lake water and the Bone Tower reflected on the surface, the two Corpse Puppets began to retreat again, but just as they glanced at Jia Yan, who was standing behind them with a gloomy face, they had no choice but to jump into the pond.

Seeing this, Chen Tian immediately stared at the two Corpse Puppets, intending to see what would happen.

At the beginning, the two Corpse Puppets didn't show any abnormalities. They carefully swam in the water, their eyes vigilantly scanning their surroundings.

After a while, they seemed to have relaxed their courage. With a deep dive, they swam towards the deeper part of the pond.

Although the reflection of the Bone Tower looked like it was on the surface of the water, it was actually deeper, about ten zhang below the surface.

That's why Chen Tian felt that there was something strange about this reflection, and he planned to let the two Corpse Puppets explore the way first.

At this time, the two Corpse Puppets continued to descend, approaching the reflection underwater. They continued to sink to a depth of five zhang, and everything still looked calm and without any abnormalities.

Seeing this, they breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to continue going down, suddenly, strange bubbles began to emerge from their bodies.

At first, the two Corpse Puppets didn't know what was happening, but as more and more bubbles emerged, their bodies began to dissolve rapidly. The skin on their arms all peeled off, revealing the crimson flesh inside.

Seeing this scene, the two Corpse Puppets finally realized what was happening. They screamed in horror and floated up, intending to retreat.

Chen Tian naturally saw this scene. His face sank, and after waving his hand, he took out nearly ten thousand immortal crystal stones from his storage ring and piled them up on the edge of the pond. He said coldly to the two Corpse Puppets who were about to rise, "As long as you retrieve the key, all of these will be yours!"

These immortal crystal stones contained spiritual energy, although not as good as directly devouring Xuan Demon Corpse Companion Worms, they were still a great supplement for these two Corpse Puppets.

Therefore, after seeing Chen Tian take out so many immortal crystal stones, a hint of sinister light flashed in the eyes of the two Corpse Puppets. They looked at each other and stopped rising, diving back into the water.

This pond was very strange. The top five zhang was ordinary clear water, while below five zhang was highly corrosive acid.

As soon as the two Corpse Puppets swam back below five zhang, the skin on their entire bodies began to dissolve rapidly. In a short while, they turned into two blood corpses with crimson bodies!

However, for the sake of the nearly ten thousand immortal crystal stones, the two Corpse Puppets did not retreat, but gritted their teeth and continued to swim downwards.

After the skin was corroded, then their muscles and flesh began to dissolve.

In a short while, the hands, feet, and torsos of the two Corpse Puppets were reduced to a certain extent, and the flesh and blood on them were corroded away.

However, even so, they still did not give up. Finally, after a carp tail swing and a fierce dive, one of the Corpse Puppets grabbed the key hanging on the head of the unicorn demon beast in the reflection.

Only then did the two Corpse Puppets reveal a look of surprise on their faces, and just as they were about to return, an amazing and bizarre scene appeared!
