"Heh heh, why can't I resist the Heavenly Tribulation lightning?" Zhou Yan said with a cold smile.
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, Li Chen's expression froze, and then he said, "You, you can't possibly do it. The Heavenly Tribulation lightning is a terrifying entity born from heaven and earth. The level of the Heavenly Tribulation lightning varies according to the cultivation technique. You, you must have just been lucky!"
Hearing Li Chen's explanation, a smile appeared on Zhou Yan's face, and he said slowly, "Is that so? Do you think the level of the Heavenly Tribulation lightning was too low, or was it your bad luck that you encountered me?"
"Damn it, I'll fight you!" At this moment, Li Chen shouted and pounced towards Zhou Yan again.
However, seeing this, Zhou Yan shook his head slightly and said, "Heh heh, you are truly seeking death."
Before Zhou Yan finished speaking, he rushed out and punched Li Chen directly in the chest. Instantly, Li Chen flew backward, crashing heavily against the wall before falling to the ground.
At this moment, Li Chen lay on the ground.
His eyes were wide open, his body was rapidly shriveling, and his gaze was filled with surprise and terror. He then raised a finger to point at Zhou Yan before gasping his last breath.
Seeing Li Chen's death, Zhou Yan took a deep breath, and his injuries gradually healed.
Zhou Yan had been severely depleted in this battle.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh, but it was all worth it, as he had finally forced out the devil hidden in the shadows.
Zhou Yan took out the jade pendant from his storage ring and examined it carefully. At this moment, a phantom appeared on the jade pendant in his hand. This phantom was actually a mass of black mist. The black mist looked extremely evil, and it was accompanied by gusts of chilling wind, making it look very eerie.
Zhou Yan frowned, thinking to himself, "What in the world is this thing? It looks so sinister."
"This thing is called the Nether Ghost Infant!" Just as Zhou Yan was puzzled, a voice suddenly came from the side.
Zhou Yan suddenly turned his head and saw an old man standing beside him. The old man was dressed in rough clothes, with a head of white hair, appearing to be around sixty or seventy years old. However, his face was covered with traces of time, and his eyes shimmered with a green light, looking very unsettling.
Zhou Yan stared at the old man at this moment and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Chen Desheng, and I am a lonely old man!" Chen Desheng said.
As for the material, it was a black stone, which was used to suppress Chen Desheng's physical body.
"I need your help. I must break that curse," Chen Desheng said.
"What do you want me to do?" Zhou Yan asked.
"I hope you can use my body to undergo the tribulation. As long as you succeed in crossing the tribulation, you will obtain this stone. At that time, you will become an immortal and will forever transcend all beings, becoming a true immortal with a lifespan equal to heaven," Chen Desheng said with urgency.
"Are you sure? This thing can really turn me into an immortal?" Zhou Yan asked.
"That's right. This black stone is a treasure left behind by an ancient Celestial Venerable. As long as you consume this black stone, you will possess the power of a Celestial Venerable, even more powerful than those so-called God King realm martial artists.
Do you know, at the beginning of heaven and earth, that Celestial Venerable perished in a great catastrophe. When he left, he told me that his physical body had turned to dust, and this black stone was left for me." Chen Desheng said.
"You're talking nonsense," Zhou Yan cursed.
"You..." Hearing Zhou Yan's words, his face instantly changed, and then he asked, "What, you are unwilling? If you are unwilling, then you can continue to stay here with me."
"Hahahaha…"
Upon hearing Chen Desheng's words, Zhou Yan burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Chen Desheng glared at Zhou Yan and questioned.
"I'm laughing at how foolish you are. Do you think I'll fall for it?" After saying that, Zhou Yan followed up with a kick, which landed squarely on Chen Desheng's stomach.
A crackling sound came from Chen Desheng's abdomen, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the cave wall.
"Thump!"
At this moment, Chen Desheng's head hit the rock wall, and blood flowed down his forehead. However, he was unable to utter a single word, only letting out painful screams.
"I'm telling you, you are now a prisoner. If you dare to touch me, I guarantee you won't live for three days," Zhou Yan threatened.
"You..." At this moment, Chen Desheng wanted to say something but could only manage half a sentence.
Zhou Yan glanced at him indifferently and said, "I advise you not to move around, or I don't care who you are, I'll kill you without hesitation."
After speaking, Zhou Yan turned and left the cave.
He had many things to do and couldn't delay any longer.
Just as Zhou Yan left, a rumbling sound suddenly erupted from within the cave, followed by thick smoke that enveloped the cave, making it almost impossible to breathe.
A moment later, the entire mountain peak collapsed, burying the cave.
After Zhou Yan emerged from the cave, he looked around the surroundings and then sped off into the distance.
Zhou Yan was unaware that in the distance, a group of people were on their way. Among them, a young woman looked at another old man and asked, "Master, why are we running in that direction?"
"For that item," the old man said faintly.
Hearing the old man's words, the young woman was stunned. She asked, "Master, what you said about that item, could it be...?"
The old man nodded and said, "That's right, you are correct. That's the item we are looking for. It is the supreme treasure of our Tianxing Palace. If others know that our Tianxing Palace possesses this treasure, they will surely try to seize it!"
Hearing the old man's words, a flicker of excitement flashed in the young woman's eyes. She said, "Master, if that's the case, then let's hurry and search for the treasure. I can't wait to snatch this item."
"Hmph, that guy is too greedy. He wants to swallow this treasure all by himself. He's simply ungrateful!" The old man snorted and cursed.
"Hmph, I can't just stand by and do nothing. Master, I'll go and stall that scoundrel for you first, and you can find an opportunity to get the item yourself."
