Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

From the beginning of the separation of Heaven and Earth from Chaos, there have existed four races: the Immortal Race, the Human Race, the Demon Race, and the Monster Race!

While the four races coexist, the Demon Race is the most despised. They are treacherous, cruel, and extremely hypocritical.

If you are beneficial to them, they will show a flattering smile to curry favor with you, please you, and willingly become your lackeys; but once you lose power and become useless to them, these demons will turn their faces in an instant, not only losing their former enthusiasm but also stabbing you in the back when you are in danger.

The ambition of a petty person is what defines a demon!

This is already a universally acknowledged principle.

It is precisely because of the Demon Race's extremely poor reputation that, after the extinction of the Immortal Race, the Demon Race became the most sparsely populated of the remaining three races.

Moreover, the Demon Race not only schemes against the other three races but also against their own kind. Therefore, they cannot live together like the other three races. Most of them wander alone between heaven and earth, seeking things and treasures that are beneficial to them.

As a result, the already sparsely populated Demon Race has become even weaker.

Gradually, some of the great powers among the Demon Race realized this problem. They knew that if things continued this way, the Demon Race's power would only weaken, and then the other two races might unite to annex the Demon Race.

This was a very serious problem!

In order to find a solution, dozens of Demon Race powerhouses gathered together and jointly formulated a 'Demon Transformation Plan'.

The so-called Demon Transformation is to find people with great wickedness and demonic nature under the heavens and help them transform into the Demon Race, thereby strengthening the Demon Race's power.

For this 'Demon Transformation Plan', these great powers did not hesitate to spend many natural treasures to create five thousand 'Nine Nether Purgatory Soul Transformation Rings', which were distributed to Demon Race disciples to search for cultivators with demonic nature and help them transform into members of the Demon Race.

The Demon Jade Ring obtained by the founding ancestor of the Ghost Dao Sect was actually brought to the Qian Yuan Continent by one of these Demon Race disciples.

He originally wanted to find a cultivator with demonic nature here to help him transform into a Demon Race member.

However, before he could find anyone, he died in the Qian Yuan Continent due to certain changes.

Thousands of years later, the founding ancestor of the Ghost Dao Sect found his corpse and obtained this 'Nine Nether Purgatory Soul Transformation Ring' from him. Because he did not know the function or the real name of this jade ring, the founding elder of the Ghost Dao Sect named it 'Demon Jade Ring'. Later generations of Ghost Dao Sect disciples naturally followed this name and continued to call it 'Demon Jade Ring'.

However, at this moment, this 'Nine Nether Purgatory Soul Transformation Ring' finally revealed its true face, emitting bursts of blue light, bypassing the imprisoned souls in the void and arriving near Chen Tian's soul fire.

As soon as it arrived, the blue light on it shone even more brightly, dyeing the surrounding void into a hazy blue.

At the same time, the 'Source Immortal Power' covered by it also began to spin involuntarily, and with each rotation, it separated a golden light, which merged with the blue light of the 'Nine Nether Purgatory Soul Transformation Ring'.

"Hiss… hiss… hiss hiss…"

A rustling sound rang out, and a small cyan snake suddenly emerged from the corpse of the huge Crimson-Eyed Golden Scaled Serpent on the other side. It was the Emerald-Eyed Viper that Chen Tian had subdued.

After the Crimson-Eyed Golden Scaled Serpent died, Chen Tian secretly sent the Emerald-Eyed Viper into its corpse to absorb its demon essence.

The Crimson-Eyed Golden Scaled Serpent was an ancient spiritual beast and the mount of an Immortal Race member, having lived for tens of millions of years. Therefore, even though it was now dead, its corpse still contained immense demon essence.

This demon essence was just what the Emerald-Eyed Viper needed. After absorbing it for most of the day, the Emerald-Eyed Viper's body had more than doubled in size, and two round bumps like 'horns' protruded from the top of its head. Its aura was also much stronger.

Wagging its long tail, the Emerald-Eyed Viper shot from a distance to the vicinity of the Demon Jade Ring like a cyan lightning bolt. Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a large mass of demon essence shining with red light, which merged into the blue and golden light.

This mass of demon essence was extremely large, accounting for half of the Emerald-Eyed Viper's total amount.

Therefore, after spitting out this mass of demon essence, the originally energetic Emerald-Eyed Viper suddenly became somewhat weak, and its firm body even shriveled down.

It looked at Chen Tian's soul fire affectionately, then flicked its long tail and rushed back into the corpse of the Crimson-Eyed Golden Scaled Serpent to absorb its demon essence to replenish itself.

"Boom…"

However, at this moment, after merging with the Emerald-Eyed Viper's demon essence, the halo composed of blue, golden, and red light shone even more dazzlingly.

The red light was the Emerald-Eyed Viper's natal demon essence and was monster energy!

The combination of the three energies instantly stirred up the wind and clouds in this void, making it treacherous and unpredictable!

At the same time, Chen Tian's wisp of soul fire slowly rose, and a powerful suction force burst out from within, pulling all three rays of light over.

In the dark void, rays of light shining with blue, gold, and red colors spiraled down from above and finally merged into a weak flame in the middle.

This scene was like a firework blooming, dreamy and beautiful.

After absorbing these three rays of light, the color of the flame changed instantly, and it actually emitted blue, red, and gold light at the same time.

Moreover, the flame, which was originally the size of a soybean, gradually burned more vigorously, making a 'sizzle' sound.

At this moment, Chen Tian's dead soul was revived!

However, Chen Tian at this time had not yet produced any consciousness. He did not know who he was, why he was here, or why he had become like this.

Although the flame burned more and more vigorously, Chen Tian did not feel any warmth, but instead felt colder and colder!

At this time, the demonic energy, immortal energy, and monster energy had been consumed almost completely and could no longer provide more fuel to boost the flame.

Without fuel, the icy coldness in the depths of Chen Tian's soul became even more bone-chilling. Under the instinctual drive, Chen Tian began to devour everything around him purposefully in order to find more fuel to dispel this coldness!

So Chen Tian began to increase the range of suction, sucking the souls near him over to use as fuel to maintain the temperature of the flame.

Under Chen Tian's suction, the souls instantly turned into black smoke and all rushed towards Chen Tian's soul fire.

After devouring these souls, some fragmented memories involuntarily appeared in Chen Tian's consciousness!
