Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Jin Chi's attention was entirely focused on the sea of fire, believing that as long as the open flames were extinguished, there would be no major problems.

As for the scorching heatwave, he merely sneered dismissively, planning to release some of the souls from his 'Netherworld Soul Banning Banner' to dissolve it.

After all, souls were Yin in nature, possessing a chilling aura, making them perfectly suited to counteract the high temperature.

With this in mind, Jin Chi didn't hesitate, grabbing the massive banner, ready to wave it.

"Whoosh…"

But at that moment, an eerie and ethereal sound suddenly echoed from the east.

Simultaneously, a strong sense of unease arose in Jin Chi's heart, a powerful aura of danger!

Thinking of this, Jin Chi hurriedly changed direction without a second thought, holding the 'Netherworld Soul Banning Banner' to defend against the east.

With a fierce wave of the 'Netherworld Soul Banning Banner,' thousands of souls emitting wisps of black gas rushed out, each displaying a painful expression.

Though unwilling, the souls were trapped within the 'Netherworld Soul Banning Banner' and had no choice but to fly forward under Jin Chi's command.

Just then, a massive purple sword aura, carrying terrifying power, surged from the distance, possessing the force to split the heavens and earth.

Upon seeing this, the souls' faces filled with even greater sorrow, but they were helpless; they were no longer in control of their own fate and could only charge towards the sword aura under the banner's guidance, attempting to use their bodies to negate its power.

Although these souls had long lost their consciousness, one could still see an indescribable despair on each of their faces.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a loud crash, the purple sword aura finally arrived, striking the souls and smashing down upon them.

A dense killing intent spread out!

Sensing this aura, the souls despairingly closed their eyes, awaiting their final destination.

But then, a surprising scene unfolded!

Although the purple sword aura appeared extremely powerful, it didn't harm the souls in the slightest when it struck them.

Faced with this unbelievable sight, the souls were first startled, then overjoyed as if they had survived a calamity, transforming into balls of black mist, excitedly flying around in the void.

However, due to the delay caused by the 'fake sword aura' and the souls being caught up in their post-calamity excitement, they didn't listen to his commands at all. Therefore, before Jin Chi could urge them back, the heatwave swept over with terrifying high temperature.

High temperature is colorless and shapeless, but at times, its power is enough to kill.

When the heatwave swept over Jin Chi, it immediately caused the golden skin on his body to crack, revealing clumps of black gas.

One of Jin Chi's heads also melted like a wax statue under the scorching of the terrifying heat.

His originally resolute and mighty face instantly became like a scene from a 'funhouse mirror,' twisting and deforming, completely lacking its previous imposing appearance, instead becoming extremely comical.

However, within this comicality, there was an unparalleled sense of ferocity!

The power of the heatwave continued, and this time, it acted upon the 'Crimson-Eyed Golden-Scaled Snake.'

One must know that snakes are cold-blooded animals, often lying prone in cool caves during the day, rarely venturing out until the weather cools down at night, when they finally slither out to hunt.

Therefore, at this moment, within this heatwave containing terrifying high temperature, the Crimson-Eyed Golden-Scaled Snake instantly became restless, constantly struggling, and the fusion with Jin Chi also showed slight cracks.

The damage to the head wasn't much for Jin Chi, but now seeing that the Crimson-Eyed Golden-Scaled Snake was about to separate from his body, Jin Chi was immediately terrified, roaring: "Beast, this heatwave will pass quickly! Hold on for a little longer!"

Jin Chi was helpless; at this time, other than pacifying the restless Crimson-Eyed Golden-Scaled Snake, there was nothing else he could do.

However, at this moment, red spirit talismans flew over from all directions of the void, forming a cylindrical shape, trapping the huge Jin Chi and the body of the Crimson-Eyed Golden-Scaled Snake within.

Most of these talismans were very low-level, low-grade spirit talismans, 'Burning Charms,' occasionally mixed with a few middle-grade spirit talismans, 'Blazing Fire Charms.'

Moreover, each talisman shone with a shimmering red spiritual light, flashing rapidly, as if they were about to explode at any moment.

If it were normal times, Jin Chi only needed to wave his hand to create a whirlwind to blow these low-level talismans away, without any effort.

But now, Jin Chi, who was in the middle of the heatwave, seemed to suddenly think of something when he saw these talismans. His originally calm eyes completely panicked, and he roared to the sky: "Chen Tian, I'm not done with you!"

"Explode!"

However, at the instant he finished shouting, an icy voice faintly came from afar, without a trace of emotion in its tone.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

… … … … … … …

As the icy word 'Explode' sounded, all the Burning Charms and Blazing Fire Charms in the sky were detonated, once again emitting terrifying high temperatures, merging into the previous heatwave.

The heatwave was originally about to dissipate, but now, after receiving such a strong supplement, it regained its vigor, like an invisible tiger, pouncing towards Jin Chi.

This heatwave was even fiercer than before, and the cracking speed of Jin Chi's skin was also faster. Before long, the skin on his body fell off like gold paint on a Buddha statue, revealing more black gas.

The Crimson-Eyed Golden-Scaled Snake, which was fused with Jin Chi, finally could no longer withstand the terrifying high temperature, roaring angrily, and separated from Jin Chi's body, fleeing to a place far away from the heatwave.

But at this moment, Chen Tian, who had originally disappeared, appeared silently. He glanced at the fleeing Crimson-Eyed Golden-Scaled Snake, and a strange and cruel smile suddenly appeared on his face!
