Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Seeing the dark clouds obscuring the sun, making the surroundings like night, Chen Tian's eyes narrowed. He also planned to temporarily avoid the danger and retreat.

So, Chen Tian put away the Azure Phoenix Sword and Jia Yan. With a flash, he was about to fly towards the sky not yet covered by dark clouds.

But who would have thought that just as Chen Tian moved, several streaks of cyan lightning shot out from the huge demon cloud, striking down around Chen Tian's body.

The lightning's attack wasn't very powerful, but it trapped Chen Tian, forcing him to stop.

Helpless, Chen Tian had to dismiss the thought of escaping, standing quietly in place, his face gloomy as he watched the approaching black demon cloud.

When this huge demon cloud completely floated above Chen Tian's head, a violent fluctuation occurred within it. A strange, sturdy man, seven zhang tall, with a snake's head and a human body, holding a giant axe, stepped down from the sky and soon arrived in front of Chen Tian.

Seeing this strange sturdy man, Chen Tian was immediately taken aback. Then, he released his spiritual sense to scan the person, and he was even more surprised.

Based on the intensity of the demon essence within this person, Chen Tian could deduce that his strength was between the mid and late stages of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

But this, in turn, made Chen Tian even more puzzled.

Because according to Chen Tian's understanding of the demon race, demon beasts could only develop intelligence and transform into human form after cultivating to the ninth rank or above.

However, ninth-rank demon beasts usually possess the strength of the late Transformation Spring Realm or above. After developing intelligence, they are equivalent to the凝海境 (Níng hǎi jìng) Sea Condensing Realm cultivators among humans, becoming a demon king.

Therefore, demon beasts that have developed intelligence are very rare on the Qian Yuan Continent. Apart from that Duan Mu Ya, Long Yinglie also possessed the cultivation of the early Sea Condensing Realm.

But strangely, the snake-headed, human-bodied demon beast in front of Chen Tian, although it had developed intelligence and transformed into human form, its strength was only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm, which couldn't help but surprise Chen Tian.

However, what happened next was even more surprising to Chen Tian. Behind the snake-headed, human-bodied demon beast, another tortoise demon beast walked out.

This tortoise demon beast did not crawl like ordinary tortoises, but could walk upright like humans. However, they had not yet fully evolved, their heads were still tortoise heads, and they still carried the large tortoise shell on their backs. They shrunk their necks when walking, and their two short legs trembled, looking very comical.

Chen Tian sized them up and found that their strength was around the late stage of the Spirit Induction Realm.

After moving to the side of the snake-headed, human-bodied sturdy man at an almost 'tortoise-like' speed, the tortoise demon beast seemed to pant with effort. Then, it shrunk its neck and looked around.

When it saw the ground in front of Chen Tian covered with demon beast corpses, this guy was immediately startled. It jumped on the spot and shouted in a shrill voice, "Snake General, look quickly, all of our vanguard troops have been killed by this kid."

"Huh?"

Hearing the tortoise demon beast's words, the snake-headed sturdy man's eyebrows immediately stood on end. He stared at Chen Tian with a ferocious look, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Did you kill all of my brothers?"

Chen Tian felt helpless. He was utterly tricked by that Zhou Qingran.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Tian cupped his hands and said with a wry smile, "If I said this was all a misunderstanding, would you believe it?"

"Believe you, my big head!"

However, before the snake-headed sturdy man could answer, the tortoise demon beast preemptively said, "Do you think we 'Demon God Sect' are so easy to fool? Kid, I'm telling you, if you offend our 'Demon God Sect', you won't be able to escape, no matter where you go! Boys, tie up this human kid for me!"

As soon as the tortoise demon beast finished speaking, hundreds of 'Wind Fire Wolves' rushed out of the demon cloud in the sky, baring their teeth and rushing towards Chen Tian.

Only then did Chen Tian notice that there were countless demon beasts hidden in the demon cloud.

It's just that these demon beasts had not yet developed intelligence, and their strength was not worth mentioning in front of Chen Tian.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Chen Tian was a little depressed, but his whole body's spiritual power surged, and he prepared to meet the enemy.

"Everyone, stop!"

Just as the great battle between the two sides was about to break out, a hoarse voice rolled in like thunder in the summer.

This voice was full of irresistible majesty, and immediately frightened those low-level demon beasts, their bodies trembled, making 'woo woo' sounds in their mouths, all of them prostrating on the ground in fear.

Chen Tian frowned when he saw this, but he also put away his offensive, coldly looking at the snake-headed demon beast, because this voice was exactly what this person had made.

The tortoise demon beast on the side was also startled by this majestic voice. It instantly retracted its head into its tortoise shell, only revealing its two short legs trembling.

After a while, it realized that there were no abnormalities around, and then it mustered up its courage, revealing its tortoise head again, looking at the snake-headed sturdy man, and asked in confusion, "Snake General, what… what are you doing?"

The snake-headed sturdy man didn't pay any attention to this timid tortoise at all, but stared at Chen Tian, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking rapidly in his heart.

But after a while, his ferocious face suddenly relaxed, revealing a somewhat gentle smile. He also cupped his fists at Chen Tian and said, "Since this fellow Daoist says it's a misunderstanding, then everything is a misunderstanding. This general naturally won't take it to heart."

"Snake General, this…"

The tortoise demon beast was greatly shocked after hearing the snake-headed sturdy man's words. It knew best that this person was extremely arrogant and rude. If anyone dared to offend him even a little, he would exaggerate and punish that person a lot, torturing them until they wished they were dead.

But now, facing Chen Tian, who had killed the entire vanguard troop, this snake-headed sturdy man suddenly became extremely generous, and actually let Chen Tian go so easily.

With that, it waved its hand, and those low-level demon beasts that were prostrating on the ground flew back into the demon cloud.

When the snake-headed sturdy man saw this, he nodded in satisfaction, and then turned to Chen Tian, cupped his fists and smiled, "This one is Snake Wind, the Left Commander General of the Demon God Sect. Fellow Daoist, please be sure to come to the Demon God Sect one day when you have time, so that this one will have the opportunity to show you the hospitality of a host."

Chen Tian naturally didn't want to get involved with this Demon God Sect, but it wasn't good to refuse outright, so he smiled and said politely, "Today can be considered as making friends through fighting. I will definitely come to your residence to bother you when I have time."

"Haha, good, then it's settled." This sturdy man named Snake Wind laughed and said, "This one still has things to do, so let's say goodbye for now."

"Farewell!" Chen Tian also tried his best to put on a friendly smile and cupped his fists.

Snake Wind took a deep look at Chen Tian again, and then beckoned to the tortoise demon beast beside him. The two turned around and stepped into the sky towards the demon cloud.

However, what Chen Tian didn't see was that at the moment Snake Wind turned around, the smile on his face instantly turned into a coldness, his appearance fierce and frightening!
