Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Honestly, having come this far, giving up now would definitely not be Chen Tian's style.

After examining the damaged state of the wind wall, Chen Tian's gaze hardened, and with a flip of his hand, he took out two halves of a broken red demon core from his storage ring.

Over the past few hundred years, Chen Tian had slain many demons and accumulated countless demon cores, but recently, in order to help the demon incarnation's cultivation level rise to the凝海 (Ning Hai) realm, Chen Tian had squandered all the demon cores he had painstakingly accumulated, leaving only these two broken halves.

Despite their small size and being broken in two, these two demon core halves actually contained the most demon essence among all the demon cores Chen Tian had captured.

This was because these two demon core halves belonged to the Flounder Worm that had cultivated for thousands of years.

Originally, they were one, but they were shattered into two halves by the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Even so, they still radiated a pure and powerful, vast demon essence.

The Flounder Worm was a high-level demon beast above the ninth rank, at the demon king level, so the demon core condensed from its body was naturally invaluable.

Since obtaining them, Chen Tian had been reluctant to use them, intending to find an opportunity to entrust Qin Yi with refining them into immortal-grade elixirs.

However, the situation Chen Tian faced now made it impossible for him to consider these things any longer; if he wanted to safely reach the central sacrificial pit, he had to use these two high-level demon core halves.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian put away all hesitation, and after quickly calculating in his mind, he put the larger half of the demon core back into the storage ring, leaving only the smaller half of the Flounder Worm's demon core.

Immediately afterward, Chen Tian bit his finger, squeezed out a drop of bright red blood onto the demon core, and instantly, red light flared, and an extremely vast demon essence aura burst out, merging into the surrounding red wind wall.

After absorbing this demon essence, the cracks on the wind wall instantly healed, and the wind circle, which had been shrunk to half a zhang, immediately expanded back to five zhang.

Seeing this, Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and then, without delay, under the protection of the wind wall, he quickly walked towards the central sacrificial pit on the altar.

Although, as Chen Tian had expected, the closer he got to the central sacrificial pit, the greater the resistance around him became, but because he had absorbed a small half of the Flounder Worm's demon core, the wind wall transformed from the power of the demon race no longer showed any sign of loosening, protecting Chen Tian and allowing him to safely pass the remaining ten zhang distance, reaching the edge of the central sacrificial pit.

And at this moment, Chen Tian suddenly discovered that the powerful resistance that had been forcing him to gasp for breath instantly disappeared as he reached the edge of the central sacrificial pit.

Faced with this incredible phenomenon, Chen Tian was surprised for a moment, and then he was pleasantly surprised in his heart.

Since the surrounding resistance had disappeared, then Chen Tian no longer needed the wind wall to continue protecting him, so with a wave of his hand, the red whirlwind immediately stopped and then turned into nothingness.

At this time, Chen Tian summoned with his bare hand, and a red demon core, as big as a fist, flew back into his hand.

Chen Tian really did not expect that just a short distance of ten zhang would consume half of the demon essence of this Flounder Worm demon core, and adding the return journey, then this demon core would definitely be completely gone.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian only felt extremely distressed.

After all, this was a demon core of a high-level demon beast, and its value in the cultivation world was no less than two thousand million immortal crystal stones!

After feeling distressed for a while, Chen Tian gradually calmed down. Although this demon core was extremely precious, if he hadn't used it just now, then he wouldn't have been able to get here.

However, when he walked to the edge of the sacrificial pit, Chen Tian realized that the huge square object was actually a jade tablet.

The jade tablet is a jade ritual object used in ancient sacrifices, a symbol of authority, shaped like a long strip, with a pointed top and a square bottom, and often inscribed with words to convey the purpose of the sacrifice.

Ordinary jade tablets are only about three inches in size, but the jade tablet in front of Chen Tian is a full seven hundred zhang high and one hundred and fifty zhang wide, standing straight in the huge circular pit.

Seeing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but be surprised, because he had never seen such a giant jade tablet, which really made him feel a little shocked!

At the same time, at this moment, Chen Tian suddenly thought that the sacrificial pits he had seen before, did they also contain such a giant jade tablet? Was it just taken away later?

'Could it be that this jade tablet is actually a powerful magic weapon?'

Thinking of this, a gleam of excitement suddenly burst out in Chen Tian's eyes, and then he hurriedly swept his gaze over the jade tablet.

However, after some observation, the excitement on Chen Tian's face suddenly subsided again.

Because Chen Tian found that, apart from being incomparably huge, the jade tablet was otherwise ordinary and unremarkable.

If this jade tablet was really a powerful magic weapon, then it should contain powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, but Chen Tian repeatedly checked and could not find any trace of power.

After many experiments, Chen Tian had to admit that this jade tablet was indeed just an ordinary jade tablet, not the powerful magic weapon he had imagined.

After confirming this, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a little disheartened, after all, he had come here at a great cost. He originally wanted to get something good from this sacrificial pit to compensate for his loss, but now, apart from this huge but worthless jade tablet, he couldn't see anything else.

This discovery really made Chen Tian feel depressed. He looked up at this huge jade tablet, but the more he looked, the angrier he became, wishing he could go up and smash it with a punch!

After all, even if this jade tablet was priceless in the eyes of mortals, it was just a pile of broken stones to Chen Tian, useless.

'Forget it, this time I'll just admit I'm unlucky and take the fall!'

After a long while, Chen Tian sighed faintly as if feeling very helpless, and then he turned around, wanting to walk back.

But at this moment, he seemed to suddenly discover something, his pupils instantly dilated, and he suddenly turned his head, looking at the jade tablet again.
