Chapter 872: Chapter 863: Struggle for Supremacy

Compared to Gu Cangsheng, Chen Hai’s reaction speed was only slightly inferior.

Following right after Gu Cangsheng, he also landed on the Guiding Road.

“Taoist Friend Gu, you’re a good man.”

“With you buying time for me, rest assured, if there are truly only a few seats in the Emperor Pan Palace, I will definitely secure one of them!”

After saying this, Chen Hai dashed forward.

After only a few steps, a pair of wings shimmering with thunder light appeared on his shoulders.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Wings, a lower-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, hadn’t been in his possession for long. Check latest chapters at 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥

For a typical Daluo Golden Immortal, refining such a lower-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure in such a short time would almost surely be impossible.

However, for Chen Hai, it was no big deal.

After all, his former Divine Skill, the Eye of Greed, could already subdue all treasures under the heavens.

Although this Divine Skill had long been melted down, the Human Desire Greed he formed on this basis still maintained the strange ability to erode all treasures.

Without Gu Cangsheng being aware, the Nine Heavens Thunder Wings had already been completely refined by Chen Hai.

As for the little trick Gu Cangsheng left within this treasure, Chen Hai had already noticed it long ago.

Previously, he merely sealed this trace of imprint to block its sensing, and now, as he used the Nine Heavens Thunder Wings to dash forward, he went all the way, using the Power of Greed to thoroughly erase the imprint.

Previously, although his real combat strength was commendable, his speed was lacking.

With such a glaring shortcoming, if he were to fight against other Daluo Golden Immortals, he might win; but if his adversary noticed something was wrong and decided to flee, Chen Hai had no good way to respond due to his inadequate speed.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Wings he obtained from the good man Gu Cangsheng, was only a lower-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, yet with it on him, the speed enhancement for Chen Hai was truly enormous.

Now, when he ran at full speed, he might not match a Quasi-Saint, but compared to a Perfect Daluo Golden Immortal like Gu Cangsheng, he was definitely not inferior.

“The imprint I left on the Nine Heavens Thunder Wings is gone?”

The moment the imprint was wiped away, Gu Cangsheng sensed it.

The Order Chains gathered in his hand paused slightly as he looked at Chen Hai, who had already overtaken him on the Guiding Road.

Seeing the wings flashing with thunder light on Chen Hai, he was stunned: “Good lad, though his Realm is not high, he actually has such means.”

“How much time has passed since the Nine Heavens Thunder Wings fell into his hands? Not only did he erase the trick I left, he actually refined the treasure completely and can use it freely?”

“No wonder he was so determined in demanding I give him the Nine Heavens Thunder Wings first before he agreed to cooperate with me.”

Thinking of one of his treasured possessions being used so effortlessly by Chen Hai, Gu Cangsheng, although knowing that after eliminating this person, the treasure would certainly return to him, still felt a bit of heartache.

Perhaps because the Nine Heavens Thunder Wings is not of high grade, merely a lower-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, its speed boost in Gu Cangsheng’s hands wasn’t that significant.

The fastest speed he could reach with the treasure was barely comparable to the weakest Quasi-Saint.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t need to lure Chen Hai to work for him; relying on his own power, after stepping on the Guiding Road, he would be able to outdistance the rest and secure a seat in the Emperor Pan Palace.

“With the enhancement of the Nine Heavens Thunder Wings, his speed…”

“So fast, he might even outpace average Perfect Daluo Golden Immortals.”

“Perhaps, with his help, I can really secure a seat in the Emperor Pan Palace!” With such thoughts, Gu Cangsheng felt much relieved.

In truth, seeking Chen Hai’s cooperation was merely a minor move of his own.

Whether his little scheme would succeed, even Gu Cangsheng himself had no guarantee.

Despite the heartache, seeing the speed Chen Hai exhibited, Gu Cangsheng’s eyes shone brighter.

“Shameless scoundrel, just stepped on the Guiding Road and already attacking without a word—you’re courting death!”

“Anyone who dares block my path is my enemy! Kill!”

“Qixia Island’s Seventh Elder Gu Cangsheng? I recognize you. To commit such a grievous act, if I can’t succeed in entering the Emperor Pan Palace today, your Qixia Island should prepare to face my endless wrath!”

“Everyone, attack together—let’s take down this despicable man first…”

At this moment of daze, a series of furious roars rose in Gu Cangsheng’s ears.

Among those blocked by his Order Chains, many attacked him simultaneously.

Streams of golden light swirled around him, finally transforming into a bell-like shield that protected his body within.

But unfortunately, despite the strong defense of Gu Cangsheng’s Golden Light Shield, under the concentrated fire of numerous attacks, the defense was nothing but a drop in the ocean.

Supporting less than a fraction of a millisecond, the Golden Light Shield cracked and shattered into countless fragments, dissipating into nothingness.

“Ah…” Amidst a piercing scream, Gu Cangsheng was sent flying.

Whether through good luck or intention, the direction in which he was blasted was forward on the Guiding Road, not into the chaos below the road.

“Kill me? Do you have the skills?”

Just landing on the Guiding Road, Gu Cangsheng flipped himself upright.

Laughing loudly, he uttered no words and just ran forward.

Blood continuously gushed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and his robust body, just attacked by the others, bore numerous ghastly wounds and several piercing holes.

With almost every step, a large amount of blood flowed from his body.

Fortunately, this was the Guiding Road, with golden light pervading every inch of the road; otherwise, the places Gu Cangsheng passed might have been stained blood-red.

For this scene, it seemed he wasn’t aware at all.

Running desperately, he seemed to muster every ounce of strength he had.

Although he knew that those who stepped onto the Guiding Road surely aimed to reach the Emperor Pan Palace quickly and had no time to entangle with him further,

one can never be too sure.

Who could guarantee among those he gravely offended, there was no one willing to forgo entering the Emperor Pan Palace just to fight with him to the death?
