Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053

"Heavenly Path Device? What level of treasure is this?"

With doubt in his heart, Chen Hai felt a little confused.

Among the items he knew, the highest grade of treasure should undoubtedly be the Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Below that are Innate Treasures and Innate Spiritual Treasures...

As for this Heavenly Path Device, he was certain it was the first time he had ever heard of it.

"This place is very likely the Land of Slumber of the Primordial Heavenly Path."

"The two of them, Tian Can and Di Que, being the legendary Heavenly Path Gatekeepers, must have a connection with the Primordial Heavenly Path through the Demon Zither they wield."

"Perhaps, that Demon Zither was created by the Heavenly Path."

"With the favor of the Heavenly Path, even a moderately powerful Quasi-Saint can ascend to become a Saint. If it truly has consciousness, would it be difficult to create something terrifying like the Heavenly Path Device?"

Various thoughts crossed his mind, and soon, Chen Hai found a barely acceptable explanation for the existence of the Heavenly Path Device.

He no longer dwelled on matters related to the Heavenly Path Device, but his furrowed brow not only didn’t relax but instead tightened even more.

The root of this, naturally, lay in the Eye of Greed.

The original Eye of Greed had long been thoroughly refined into himself by Chen Hai. The strange eye emerging from his brow was merely a temporary measure that he had just condensed anew.

Yet this strange eye, after a failed attempt to seize the Demon Zither and retreating back into his brow, seemed to bear a grudge, deliberately leaving a message in Chen Hai’s mind.

"The newly condensed Eye of Greed has already developed consciousness?" Fınd the newest release on novel•fire.net

"Or did this consciousness always exist after comprehending the Shikigami Divine Skills of the Eye of Greed and never truly extinguished?"

"If the Eye of Greed is , then what about other Divine Skills like Reproduction and Devouring? Are they the same?"

Thinking of these things, Chen Hai’s eyebrows knit together into a straight line.

The Eye of Greed and Devouring Touch both have an undeniable connection to the Mysterious insights he gained from the Black Water Leech Emperor.

Initially, he had shattered and refined all the Divine Skills he comprehended because he feared latent threats within them.

Unwilling to follow the path of others, Chen Hai had no desire to be too heavily influenced by the Black Water Leech Emperor.

But now, the newly condensed Eye of Greed seemed to possess its consciousness, still able to send messages to him...

Chen Hai dared not think deeply about it. The more he thought, the more worried and fearful he became.

Moreover, this was not the time for such thoughts.

In the distance, amid everyone’s saturated attacks, the two seemingly unstoppable Tian Can and Di Que, like the Demon Zither, turned into black smoke dispersed by the group and merged into the surrounding black mist.

Faced with this situation, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is it over? Have those two really died at our hands, or did something happen, causing them to flee?"

"Not sure. Logically, with so many of us unleashing our full-force attacks, even those weaker in the Primordial Chaos Daluo Realm wouldn’t dare take them head-on."

"Those two old cripples, their strength was bizarre but certainly not Daluo Realm. They couldn’t have taken our attacks head-on."

"The two of them, lacking spiritual wisdom, obviously are not living beings anymore. Perhaps they’ve long become Heavenly Path Puppets, undying as long as the Heavenly Path persists."

"Otherwise, how do you explain the scene of them turning into black smoke?"

Though it was uncertain whether Tian Can and Di Que were dead or alive, with them no longer blocking the front, everyone finally breathed a small sigh of relief.

Despite only a few breaths passing since they entered the place, it was enough to exhaust everyone.

Apart from the unfortunate souls who perished, everyone present, including Lu Yingtian, was practically injured.

With the major threats of Tian Can and Di Que gone, everyone relaxed, and several people, caring little for their image, squatted down, heavily panting.

Among those present, only Chen Hai seemed unscathed.

Noticing his presence, Lu Yingtian walked over in a few strides. He smiled heartily and greeted, "I knew, Black Water Taoist Friend, you wouldn’t let us down."

"That fearsome Demon Zither was eliminated by your Divine Skills. I admit my inferiority to your skills, Taoist Friend!"

"With such strength and such humility, among the Quasi-Saints, you are a model for us!"

Being the one chosen as the leader undoubtedly came with its unique qualities.

Lu Yingtian’s words, both openly and subtly, flattered Chen Hai. Whether genuine or not, his words were pleasing and made people naturally feel an affinity for him.

His injuries looked much more severe than those gasping heavily on the ground.

But what would have been fatal to others was nothing to him.

After all, his greatest strength was his thick blood and resilience.

The gruesome injuries inflicted by the musical note light rain healed rapidly under everyone’s gaze.

In the blink of an eye, most of his external injuries had mended.

As for his internal injuries, only Lu Yingtian himself knew.

"Just a fluke, just a fluke!"

"Even I didn’t expect that Divine Skill to directly eliminate the Demon Zither."

"Perhaps it was just luck, the Divine Skill happened to counter that Demon Zither!"

Putting those troubling thoughts aside for the moment, Chen Hai laughed lightly, politely saying, "Compared to you, Taoist Friend Lu, my skills are nothing!"

"You took the lead, practically holding off most of Tian Can and Di Que’s attacks alone. Everyone saw your contribution."

"If we’re talking about role models, besides Taoist Friend Lu, who else could deserve that title?"

As they say, teamwork makes the dream work, and Chen Hai certainly wouldn’t miss an opportunity to say a few flattering words to Lu Yingtian.

However, what he said seemed indeed factual.

Without truly stretching his capabilities, dealing with Tian Can and Di Que relied significantly on Lu Yingtian’s distinct merit.

"Defilers of the Heavenly Path, die!"

A familiar thunderous roar suddenly erupted in their ears, waking everyone from the joyful haze of their victory over Tian Can and Di Que.

In the distance, not only had Tian Can and Di Que reformed, but even the Demon Zither had recondensed, once again blocking their path ahead.
