Chapter 667: Chapter 357: Green Light Enters the Body_2 "Hahaha! Today, I, Gu Sheng, shall see just how formidable this Wheel Sea Secret Realm truly is!" Gu Sheng laughed heartily, his figure flickering as he charged toward the ancient hall! His entire body gleamed gold, radiating brilliance like the descent of a War God! As the golden light surged, he unleashed a palm strike! In an instant, a massive golden palm materialized out of thin air and smashed toward the ancient hall! "Boom—" A thunderous explosion resounded as the entire volcano crater quaked! The golden palm slammed into the ancient hall, causing the structure, built from Five-Colored Divine Jade, to tremble ever so slightly! "Such incredible power!" the crowd exclaimed in shock, never expecting Gu Sheng to erupt with such overwhelming force! But just then, a sudden change occurred! The dazzling beam of light piercing the heavens abruptly shattered! A torrential surge of power emanated from the light, shooting skyward! "Buzz—buzz—buzz!" As the energy spread, the entire sky began to tremble, as if on the verge of collapse! The crowd watched in terror, unsure of what would happen next. At that moment, the grand doors of the ancient hall creaked open, emitting an even more overwhelming life force. Everyone gazed intently into the hall, only to see a pitch-black expanse, like an endless abyss. "Hahaha! This is it—the treasure and inheritance of the last Great Emperor of the East Desolation’s Demon Clan lies within! Let’s go inside!" someone shouted, his figure flashing as he rushed into the hall. The others scrambled to follow, fearing they would fall behind. But just then, a figure blocked the entrance. It was Gu Sheng! At that moment, his body glowed with golden light, his aura towering, resembling an invincible War God! "Anyone who wants to enter this ancient hall must first get past me!" Gu Sheng said coldly, his thunderous voice reverberating in everyone’s ears. He knew this ancient hall undoubtedly contained boundless treasures and inheritance, but he also understood that his strength alone was insufficient. Thus, he resolved to stand guard here, waiting for an opportunity to join his friend Lin Tianhao in exploring this mysterious hall! "Hmph! Do you think you can stop all of us?!" the Breaking Heaven Sovereign sneered coldly, his figure flickering as he launched an attack toward Gu Sheng! Other influential figures also made their moves, attempting to overpower Gu Sheng and surge into the hall to claim the treasures and inheritance within! However, they underestimated Gu Sheng’s strength, as well as his loyalty and camaraderie with Lin Tianhao! Gu Sheng’s figure flickered, nimbly evading their attacks before countering with a single strike! A gigantic golden palm materialized once more, slamming toward the crowd! "Boom—" Another deafening explosion resounded as the volcano crater trembled once again! The golden palm struck the crowd, forcing them all back several steps! This was the power unleashed by Gu Sheng after opening the Wheel Sea in the Secret Realm—a power so awe-inspiring it seemed to merge him with the world itself, allowing him to harness the forces of heaven and earth to strike his enemies! Such power left everyone in shock and fear! "What terrifying strength! Is this the might unlocked after opening the Wheel Sea in the Secret Realm?!" someone exclaimed in awe. "Hmph! If you wish to enter this ancient hall, you’ll have to defeat me first!" Gu Sheng said coldly, his voice imbued with unyielding determination. Though Gu Sheng’s power was immense, he knew he couldn’t hold off so many opponents for long. He had to find Lin Tianhao quickly and team up with him to have any chance of exploring this mysterious hall! With that thought, his figure flickered as he dashed in the direction of Lin Tianhao’s location! He had to find Lin Tianhao as soon as possible, to join forces and face the challenges ahead! Gu Sheng’s swift movements drew everyone’s attention, and they all pursued him, intent on preventing him from reaching Lin Tianhao. Gu Sheng’s speed, however, was extraordinary, darting through the volcano crater like a bolt of lightning. "Whoosh—" With a sharp sound, Gu Sheng vanished from sight, reappearing at another location. His movement technique, the "Carefree Ascension Step," was pushed to its extreme, leaving all others dazzled and disoriented. "You won’t escape!" the Breaking Heaven Sovereign roared, his figure flickering as he gave chase. Other powerful figures also mobilized, swiftly following behind. Yet, no matter how they tried, they couldn’t catch up to Gu Sheng’s speed, helplessly watching as he disappeared from their view. "This brat is truly infuriating!" the Breaking Heaven Sovereign snorted angrily, halting his pursuit. The others also ceased their chase. They realized that continuing the pursuit was futile and decided instead to focus on deciphering the secrets of the ancient hall. Meanwhile, Gu Sheng had already found Lin Tianhao, who was sealed by Divine Power. "Tianhao! Are you alright?!" Gu Sheng asked worriedly. Seeing that Lin Tianhao, though sealed, was unharmed, Gu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I’m fine. Thank you for saving me!" Lin Tianhao said gratefully. He knew that if Gu Sheng hadn’t arrived in time, he would likely have met a grim fate. "We’re brothers—there’s no need for thanks!" Gu Sheng said with a smile. With a wave of his hand, a flash of golden light eliminated the Divine Power seal on Lin Tianhao. "What should we do now?!" Lin Tianhao asked. "First, let’s enter the ancient hall and discover the secrets hidden within!" Gu Sheng replied, determination gleaming in his eyes. After they separated again, Lin Tianhao was once more captured by one of the powerhouses and sealed. Night fell, the sky ink-black, dotted with stars. Alone, Gu Sheng concealed himself in the darkness, his sharp gaze fixed on the sealed Lin Tianhao. His friend lay hidden in a patch of grass, emanating green sealing energy, his face ashen white. "Tianhao..." Gu Sheng murmured in his heart, clenching his fists tightly, a flicker of resolve and determination flashing in his eyes. Just then, a series of explosions came from the direction of the volcano crater. Gu Sheng lifted his head, only to see divine rainbows piercing the sky atop the volcano, their presence awe-inspiring. Su Ling and the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect had already confronted the Demon Clan, and the atmosphere between the two sides was palpably tense. "Hmph! You scoundrels from the Destruction Hall dare to try and seize the treasures of my Demon Clan—what delusions!" a golden-haired girl said coldly, her wings unfurled, golden feathers shimmering brilliantly in the night sky. The Sect Leader of the Destruction Hall stood expressionless, shrouded in black mist, exuding an unfathomable aura. He spoke slowly, "The Daoist Scripture and the treasures of the East Desolation’s Human Clan were originally ours. What qualifications do you Demons have to claim them?" The two sides were at daggers drawn, the tension so thick it was like a powder keg waiting to explode. Gu Sheng observed from afar, his mind engrossed in a different calculation. "That Daoist Scripture... If I can obtain it, it will bolster my strength to an incredible level," he thought, desire flickering in his eyes. At that moment, the ancient buildings above the volcano crater began to tremble. A grand ancient hall slowly rose from within the crater, its radiant light illuminating the entire night sky. "That is... the Demon Emperor’s tomb?!" Gu Sheng exclaimed in shock, his eyes filled with astonishment. Several great Demons and powerful members of the Destruction Hall ceased their combat, rushing together toward the ancient hall. Unable to restrain himself, Gu Sheng also felt his heart stir. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—I cannot miss it!" he thought to himself, his figure flickering as he rushed toward the ancient hall. Just as he neared the hall, a cold and oppressive gaze locked onto him. Turning his head, Gu Sheng saw a Supreme Elder from the Destruction Hall staring at him icily. "Boy, what do you think you’re doing?" the Supreme Elder asked coldly. Gu Sheng’s heart tensed, but he maintained a fearless façade, meeting the elder’s gaze directly. "This junior is merely curious and wishes to witness the majesty of the Demon Emperor’s tomb." "Hmph! Curiosity can get you killed," the Supreme Elder snorted coldly. Though Gu Sheng’s heart remained vigilant, he maintained an air of calmness, knowing he couldn’t show the slightest hint of fear at this critical moment. Just then, an earsplitting rumble erupted from the ancient hall. Moments later, an immense wave of energy surged from within, forcing everyone around to retreat. "What was that?" Gu Sheng exclaimed. "The Demon Emperor’s tomb is opening!" the Supreme Elder said, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes. "Boy, if you don’t want to die, leave at once!" With those words, the elder’s figure flickered as he rushed into the ancient hall. Gu Sheng hesitated for only a moment before following closely behind. He knew this was a golden opportunity he couldn’t afford to miss.
