Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The Yue Li fruit wasn't some kind of rare treasure; eating it wouldn't cause a person's cultivation to increase dramatically in a single day. However, on the Qian Yuan Continent, the value of this Yue Li fruit was extremely high, and the quantity was also very small.

The reason was simply that this Yue Li fruit could attract high-level demon beasts.

To ordinary people, the smell of this Yue Li fruit was very unpleasant, even somewhat foul, and the pulp was also unappetizing, like chewing wax. But for those high-level demon beasts, this Yue Li fruit was like it was filled with some kind of magic, making them want to rush over and eat it no matter what.

This flounder earthworm had cultivated underground for thousands, even tens of thousands of years. Its strength had already reached the peak of a ninth-order demon beast; it was a true demon king.

Moreover, flounder earthworms were naturally afraid of light and usually lived in the depths of the earth, tens of thousands of feet below the surface, rarely coming to the surface.

However, when Chen Tian took out this Yue Li fruit, this flounder earthworm, which had already become a spirit, still lost itself, desperately drilling out from underground, all for the sake of eating this Yue Li fruit.

In fact, when it was a hundred feet below the surface, this flounder earthworm had already sensed that something was wrong on the ground. It knew that once it appeared, it would definitely encounter some kind of danger. So, driven by instinct, its body gradually shrank back.

But at this moment, Chen Tian frantically injected spiritual power into the Yue Li fruit, causing its scent to spread for miles.

Although it was underground, the Yue Li fruit's alluring 'fragrance' still hooked the flounder earthworm's soul.

So, after shrinking back only a few feet, the flounder earthworm could no longer bear it and frantically drilled out of the ground, swallowing the Yue Li fruit in one gulp.

But what it never expected was that its appearance was precisely falling into the trap set by Chen Tian.

It turned out that when Chen Tian sensed that eight heavenly lightning bolts would fall simultaneously from the tribulation clouds, he knew that it would be difficult to resist with his own strength alone. After thinking about it, Chen Tian suddenly thought of a method. Why not use the Yue Li fruit to attract a high-level demon beast to block these heavenly lightning bolts for him?

Now that he had made up his mind, Chen Tian no longer hesitated and immediately took action. He gave up maintaining the light shield and instead used all his spiritual power to broadcast the scent of the Yue Li fruit in all directions.

In fact, Chen Tian himself wasn't sure if what he was doing would work.

After all, if there were no high-level demon beasts nearby, then what he was doing would be tantamount to seeking his own death.

But at that time, Chen Tian had no other choice. He knew that with his current strength, he still couldn't withstand the simultaneous attack of eight heavenly lightning bolts. Once they fell, his ultimate fate would only be death.

So, Chen Tian had no other choice but to gamble.

Fortunately, in the end, Chen Tian finally guessed right.

A flounder earthworm that happened to be passing by was attracted by the scent of the Yue Li fruit and drilled out of the ground, helping Chen Tian to block these eight heavenly lightning bolts.

Looking at the flounder earthworm, which seemed to have been cooked, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a burst of fear in his heart, because if there hadn't been this demon beast to block them, the consequences would have been extremely tragic if those heavenly lightning bolts had fallen directly on him.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Tian's mood gradually calmed down, and then he raised his head and looked up into the sky.

Only to see that after three waves of attacks, the volume of the tribulation clouds in the sky had shrunk a lot, and the original rich blood-red color had also faded a lot.

However, even so, red lightning bolts still danced wildly within, like a group of demons, seemingly gathering strength to continue falling on Chen Tian.

But at this time, Chen Tian's face no longer showed any trace of fear, but instead a strange smile emerged.

Because according to the method recorded in the jade slip, after these three rounds of attacks, the power of the heavenly tribulation had been consumed a lot, making it a good time to refine it.

After suffering several attacks from this tribulation cloud, Chen Tian had long held a ball of fire in his heart, so when he saw that the opportunity had come, he could no longer restrain himself.

Only to see Chen Tian's hands quickly transforming into an extremely mysterious magic seal, shooting it into the jade slip. Instantly, a dazzling ball of light appeared on the jade slip.

As soon as this ball of light was produced, it began to expand rapidly, and soon it became a hundred feet in size.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's face suddenly sank, and then, pointing at the tribulation clouds in the sky, he shouted sharply: "Go!"

As soon as the words fell, this huge ball of light immediately floated upwards, as if to capture the tribulation clouds.

As the ball of light approached, the tribulation clouds, which were still brewing the next wave of heavenly lightning, seemed to sense something was wrong. At this time, its figure moved, and it actually planned to escape to the south.

After all, this heavenly tribulation was nurtured by the Heavenly Dao and had some intelligence, able to distinguish what was dangerous.

At this time, it was precisely from this ball of light that it felt a strong sense of danger, so it planned to retreat.

However, after seeing this scene, a strange smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Chen Tian's mouth.

Having come this far, Chen Tian naturally couldn't let this prey that was about to be in his hands easily slip away.

Only to see Chen Tian once again transforming into a magic seal, shooting it into the jade slip. In an instant, countless red threads suddenly burst out from this jade slip.

These red threads, like arms, quickly extended upwards as soon as they appeared, and soon came to the tribulation clouds, binding them circle after circle.

Bound by these strange red threads, the tribulation clouds were immediately imprisoned in the sky, unable to move anymore.

At this time, the huge ball of light finally arrived, instantly swallowing it into it.

After 'eating' the entire tribulation cloud, the ball of light began to gradually shrink and slowly sink, returning to the red jade slip.

"Buzz..."

Only to hear a muffled sound, the ball of light, wrapped in the tribulation clouds, completely submerged into the jade slip.

Startled by this, Chen Tian hurriedly retracted his palm.

Looking at the jade slip again, he found that its size was sometimes large and sometimes small, and streaks of electric light flowed through it, as if something was trying to struggle out.

And seeing this scene, Chen Tian's face suddenly turned cold.

He knew that the heavenly tribulation must be unwilling to be captured and wanted to run out again!
