Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Vast and boundless, the void seemed to leave you as the only being in all of creation.

This was a profound loneliness. Without a strong will, many cultivators would likely lose themselves in this desolation and descend into madness.

But Chen Tian was different.

From a young age, Chen Tian had been an extremely resolute person. Especially when he inherited the Immortal Clan's bloodline, he had drifted alone in the void for a long time, which had already tempered a mental fortitude unmatched by ordinary people.

Therefore, when Chen Tian drifted in this vast and lonely void, he did not feel much discomfort. On the contrary, Chen Tian even enjoyed it.

He seemed to relish this rare tranquility.

Free from the noise, rid of worries, with no one to shout at you or harbor ill intentions, you were the master here, the king. At this moment, you were heaven, and at this time, you were earth.

Chen Tian even felt that with a mere wave of his hand, earth-shattering changes could occur throughout the void.

This realization brought Chen Tian considerable enjoyment.

Along the way, besides that sea of fire, Chen Tian also encountered many obstacles, such as sharp arrows covered in barbs, meteorite arrays weighing tens of thousands of pounds, and cleverly disguised black holes that blended into the surroundings…

If others encountered these, they would surely suffer a headache.

However, Chen Tian was able to sense them from thousands of miles away and avoid them one by one. This was because all of these traps contained subtle Immortal Power!

Furthermore, to Chen Tian's excitement, the deeper he flew, the denser the aura of Immortal Power became. Chen Tian knew that he was likely approaching his destination soon.

‘What awaits me?’ Chen Tian wondered with some anticipation.

This void was different from the Fallen Immortal Valley. There were no restrictions here. You could unleash your speed to the maximum and roam freely.

Therefore, as soon as Chen Tian entered, he fully unleashed his speed, flying forward swiftly like a golden meteor.

After all, Chen Tian didn't need to worry about the traps here harming him. With his ability to sense Immortal Power, Chen Tian could detect them from thousands of miles away and prepare in advance.

Therefore, Chen Tian was currently advancing at an incredibly fast pace.

His miraculous performance astonished Duanmu Ya. Duanmu Ya admitted that even if his physical body were intact, he could not fly so smoothly through this perilous void.

At this moment, Duanmu Ya's gaze towards Chen Tian could no longer be described as mere surprise; it was simply monstrous!

Thinking of this, a hint of malice flashed in Duanmu Ya's eyes.

However, it only lingered for a moment before Duanmu Ya's expression returned to normal.

“Hey, Senior, which way do you think we should go next?”

After an hour of rapid flight, Chen Tian had almost reached the central area of this void. Looking at the vast darkness around him, he couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked Duanmu Ya.

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Duanmu Ya smiled and said, “Little one, I think we should go west. I just calculated and discovered that the most danger comes from the west. This also means that there must be something extremely important there, guarded by someone.”

“Oh, is that so?” After hearing Duanmu Ya's words, Chen Tian responded indifferently, then nodded and said, “Actually, I also think going west is suitable, let's go west then.”

With that, Chen Tian's figure transformed into a golden meteor once again, speeding towards the west.

However, at this moment, Duanmu Ya seemed to realize something and wondered in his heart, “Strange, this kid has always been very opinionated. He usually makes the big decisions and never asks for my opinion. Why has he suddenly changed this time and actually asked me?”

Duanmu Ya was indeed very puzzled. It was unlikely that a person's personality would change in such a short period of time.

Next, Chen Tian didn't say anything more, but flew west with a determined expression.

Sure enough, along the way, Chen Tian encountered dozens of times more traps and dangers than before, but the Immortal Power contained within them was also dozens of times denser.

This made Chen Tian very happy. He took out a bottle of spirit replenishing pills, swallowed them all, and accelerated again, speeding through the dark void like a shooting star.

If other ordinary cultivators were to travel this path, they wouldn't be able to break through it in a matter of months. But Chen Tian was different because he also possessed Immortal Power. Therefore, he could sense all the traps here very early on and skillfully bypass them. This allowed him to maximize his speed and cover a distance that many cultivators could only traverse in months or even years in just a few hours.

After another three hours of flight, Chen Tian finally arrived in an even vaster void.

There were even more and denser floating rocks here, each weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds, like a small mountain.

From a distance, it looked as if many mountains were floating in the air.

But what was surprising was that in this void, there was also a square altar floating, which was very conspicuous among the many mountains.

Upon seeing it, a hint of doubt appeared on Chen Tian's face. Then, with a flick of his figure, he flew to a huge and flat rock in the middle, gazing at the slightly eerie altar!

The altar was about two hundred feet long and one hundred feet wide, square in shape, and made entirely of milky white marble, emitting a hazy white light in this dark void.

On top of the altar, there were circular stone pillars about fifty feet long standing in the east, south, west, and north directions.

The stone pillars were carved with dragons and phoenixes, as well as many symbols that Chen Tian didn't recognize, but a sense of antiquity emanated from them, letting Chen Tian know that this altar was very ancient.

“That's right, that's right, little one, it's here! This is the ‘Immortal King Altar’!” After seeing this altar, the originally silent Duanmu Ya suddenly shouted in surprise, flew out of Chen Tian's body, and floated towards the altar.

Chen Tian was slightly surprised in his heart, but when he saw that Duanmu Ya was about to approach the altar, his expression suddenly changed!
