Chapter 888: Chapter 879: Infection
On Gu Cangsheng’s body, what were originally two legs seemed to have completely devolved, leaving only eight arms supporting him as he lay on the ground.
His face, however, remained the same as before. Otherwise, Sun Peng and Gu Cangsheng would truly have a hard time recognizing his identity.
“Seventh Elder, didn’t you go to the Emperor Pan Palace in the Outer Heaven Chaos to listen to the teachings?”
“Is it because of some upheaval in the Chaos that you have become ?”
After a moment of brief joy, Sun Peng and Zhao Qing invited Gu Cangsheng to the entrance of the cave, near the bonfire, and sat down.
With the corner of his eye, Sun Peng glanced at the eight arms on Gu Cangsheng’s body and tentatively asked.
As pure humans, both he and Zhao Qing surely thought that having two arms and two legs was normal.
To them, Gu Cangsheng with eight arms looked incredibly awkward no matter how they saw him!
It was only because Gu Cangsheng’s power and status were far above theirs that they spoke so tentatively, with such gentle tone.
“Is there anything wrong with how I look?”
“You, who have always lived in the Primordial world, are like frogs in a dried-up well, forever unaware of how vast the sky is or how wide the earth is!”
“Just like now, these grilled fish in front of you…”
Gu Cangsheng paused slightly at this point.
With two arms supporting the ground and the remaining six quickly grabbing the five remaining grilled fish, he stuffed them into his mouth all at once.
Having done this, he continued, somewhat boastfully, “See, just in eating fish, how could you, with only two arms, compare to me with eight?”
“Let me tell you, only with eight arms can one truly have a perfect body.”
“In the Emperor Pan Palace in the Outer Heaven Chaos, a few words from the Emperor Pan Ancestor surpassed over ten thousand years of my closed-door cultivation.”
“After coming out from there, I finally realized the true reason why I couldn’t advance further to become a Quasi-Saint.”
“Such an enormous opportunity, it would be too selfish of me to enjoy it alone.”
“From the moment I returned from the Outer Heaven, I came back to this desolate island to share my joy and insights with you all without reservation!”
Ordinary people might speak passionately and spit while talking.
At this moment, as Gu Cangsheng spoke eloquently, dark green saliva splattered from his mouth, falling onto the ground.
Every blade of grass and shrub that was stained by his saliva wilted into a puddle of green fluid. Even the soil and stones, when touched by his saliva, sizzled and corroded into pits and holes.
Although Gu Cangsheng didn’t comprehend a word from Emperor Pan Ancestor’s Poison Path, from the moment he mutated, certain things related to toxins seemed imprinted into his very bones.
“Seventh Elder, you…” Eyeing each other in horror, Sun Peng and Zhao Qing couldn’t help but take a few steps back, deliberately distancing themselves from him. The source of thɪs content is 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
“Let me tell you the truth, now, although I haven’t advanced further to achieve the Quasi-Saint Realm, in terms of combat power, I’m at least twice as strong as before.”
“Among the Ten Elders of Qixia Island, I ranked only as the seventh before. Now, if I return to the island, apart from a few Ancestors who slightly intimidate me, any of the remaining elders who dare obstruct me shall die!”
“Returning to this desolate island, I’m here to share my joy and opportunity with you.”
“Be honest, don’t resist. Once you have eight arms like me, you’ll truly realize how perfect such a body is and how powerful it can be!”
Accompanied by eerie laughter, Gu Cangsheng’s words sent a chill down Sun Peng and Zhao Qing’s spines.
Before they could react, in the blink of an eye, with a swoosh, Gu Cangsheng, standing six or seven steps away, had pounced on them both.
If he had only two arms, it might’ve been awkward for Gu Cangsheng to restrain the two simultaneously, but with his mutated eight arms, it was easy, a cinch.
“Seventh Elder, I’ve always been loyal to you and harbored no other intentions. If you’re going to act against me, at least give me a reason so I can die understanding!”
“That’s right, Seventh Elder, both Zhao Qing and I have been waiting for you on this island for a hundred years. If we did anything wrong, you could say it outright, there’s no need to attack us!”
With faces full of terror, Sun Peng and Zhao Qing pleaded continuously.
In terms of strength and realm, although they were Daluo Golden Immortals, the gap between them and Gu Cangsheng was vast.
Moreover, the unmatched ferocity of Gu Cangsheng as the Seventh Elder had already deeply ingrained itself in their hearts.
Out of nowhere, Gu Cangsheng suddenly sprang up and attacked, overpowering them.
Crushed to the ground by Gu Cangsheng’s eight arms, Sun Peng and Zhao Qing tried to struggle but felt powerless and couldn’t muster any resistance.
“It is precisely because I know your loyalty that I act against you.”
“But rest assured, I’m not here to kill you, only to share the power I’ve obtained with you.”
“A joy, if enjoyed alone, remains just as a joy. Sharing my joy with you two will multiply it into three.”
“I can feel that when enough people have shared my joy and gained a perfect body, without even needing innate Spiritual Treasures, I can further transform and step into the Quasi-Saint Realm.”
“With the help of you two brothers, let’s set a small goal first: Within a century, everyone in the Qixia Island territory will possess a perfect body!”
With a sinister laugh, Gu Cangsheng lowered his head and bit down on both Sun Peng and Zhao Qing.
His mutated body contained some indescribable unknown poison.
As if infectious, the moment Sun Peng and Zhao Qing were bitten, their gazes became hazy, and their bloodless pale faces turned a ghastly green at an unimaginable rate.
Strange, multicolored lights seeped from their bodies, and under this bizarre radiance, their bodies mutated, with new arms growing one after another from their forms.
In just a few breaths’ time, Sun Peng and Zhao Qing had completely transformed, now holding themselves upright on eight arms, like two giant spiders, fervently prostrating before Gu Cangsheng.
