Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Seeing Chen Tian's determination to get to the bottom of things, Ji Ao's lips twitched. He continued, "Actually, every member of the Immortal Clan, upon death, will condense their lifelong cultivation of Immortal Power into a drop of golden liquid, known as the 'Source of Immortal Power'. It possesses the purest Immortal Power and can help Immortal Clan members quickly increase their strength."

Speaking to this point, Ji Ao's gaze turned cold as he looked at the infant emitting golden light, coldly saying, "Boy, I finally understand what happened to you.

Those Immortal Clans are extremely despicable. They are all inherently greedy villains. So, from the beginning, you were used as a vessel to host this 'Immortal Clan Embryo'.

Originally, when it grew up, it would break out of your body. But luckily, you took the drop of 'Source of Immortal Power'. If you were killed, it wouldn't get the golden liquid, so you were able to save your life.

But you need to think clearly. If you really give this drop of 'Source of Immortal Power' to it, allowing it to grow into a true orthodox Immortal Clan member, then neither you nor I will be its match. And when that time comes, do you think it will let us off so easily?"

Ji Ao seemed very anxious, speaking quickly to Chen Tian.

After hearing his words, Chen Tian frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Source of Immortal Power… Give me… I guarantee you… wealth and glory…"

At this moment, the infant, who had been silent for a long time, spoke to Chen Tian in a childish voice, but his tone lacked the previous killing intent, becoming incredibly gentle.

"Boy, don't listen to its enticements! If you give it to it, we're both finished. So, you should give me the 'Source of Immortal Power'. I will take you out of here!" Ji Ao continued, as soon as the infant finished speaking.

Without exception, both of them wanted the drop of golden liquid in Chen Tian's possession.

But after hearing their words, Chen Tian couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Chen Tian wasn't stupid. He naturally knew that whether he gave the 'Source of Immortal Power' to the infant, who was a descendant of the Immortal Clan, or to Ji Ao, he would ultimately face death.

So, the safest and most secure method was to give it to neither of them.

Having made this decision, Chen Tian's expression turned serious, and he said calmly, "I'm sorry, I won't give this drop of golden liquid to either of you. You can both forget about it."

"Boy, it's come to this, and you still haven't seen the situation clearly? Or, do you still harbor a sliver of unrealistic侥幸?"

Hearing Chen Tian's decision not to give it to either of them, Ji Ao's expression immediately turned gloomy.

This guy was finally unable to resist revealing his true colors.

Chen Tian sneered inwardly at the sight. Just as he was about to speak, the golden light on the infant's body suddenly intensified. Then, hundreds of tentacles extended from its body, piercing into the surrounding 'flesh walls', greedily and thirstily absorbing the Immortal Power within the Immortal Clan corpse.

With each wriggle of these hundreds of tentacles, they would transport streams of pure Immortal Power into the infant's body. And the infant was growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, as a large amount of Immortal Power was plundered, the space where Chen Tian was located began to collapse rapidly.

Seeing this scene, Ji Ao seemed to understand something. His face suddenly changed, and he turned around, grabbed Duanmu Ya's shoulder, and fled outwards.

Chen Tian was still somewhat bewildered, unsure of what to do.

But at this moment, a cultivator covered in a black robe shot over from a distance like a shooting star. After reaching Chen Tian, he grabbed his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "This place is not suitable for a long stay. Let's go!"

Upon seeing the dark green jade ring, Chen Tian already knew that this black-robed cultivator must be nearby, so he wasn't too surprised to see him appear.

Furthermore, perhaps because this person had helped Chen Tian twice, Chen Tian had a great sense of goodwill towards him. So, after hearing his words, Chen Tian nodded in agreement without much gratitude, and then flew outwards with him.

The two were extremely fast, and soon flew out of the Immortal Clan corpse.

Only then did Chen Tian breathe a sigh of relief and turned to cup his fist at the black-robed cultivator beside him, "Thank you for your help twice in a row, brother. Chen is truly grateful."

"Giggle, Senior Brother Chen, who is your brother?"

But unexpectedly, after Chen Tian said this, the black-robed cultivator's voice suddenly changed, from a hoarse and deep tone to a light and charming one.

This… it was actually a woman's voice!

Chen Tian was immediately stunned upon hearing this, and asked in surprise, "Who exactly are you?"

"Alas… it seems that Senior Brother Chen has a new love, and has forgotten about little sister so quickly. This truly makes little sister heartbroken, you heartless man!"

After a sigh, the person finally lifted the black robe covering her body, and a charming and alluring face gradually revealed itself before everyone's eyes.

This was a woman of about twenty years old, in the prime of her youth, with a beautiful face and long black hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall; her phoenix eyes contained a rich spring essence. But at this moment, she was staring at Chen Tian as if with some resentment.

This woman was not only incredibly beautiful, but her figure was also extremely hot. At this moment, she was wearing a black veil, and her snow-white and tender skin was faintly visible beneath it, arousing endless reverie!

Because this woman was none other than Hua Wanting, who had been missing for a long time!

Why was she here?

What was she here to do?

Where had she been all these years?

… … … … … … … … …

The moment he saw Hua Wanting, a wave of questions flooded Chen Tian's mind.

Just as Chen Tian was about to open his mouth to ask, a shocking scene suddenly appeared.

At this moment, the enormous Immortal Clan corpse in the void was shrinking at an extremely fast speed, shrinking from thousands of zhang in size to less than a hundred zhang in a short while.

At the same time, the Immortal Clan corpse began to tremble violently from top to bottom. After reaching its peak, with a 'bang', it transformed into specks of golden light, exploding like fireworks in the endless void.

And within this starry sky, a fifty-zhang-tall golden giant with two heads and four arms was rapidly stepping through the air towards them.
