Chapter 668: Chapter 358: The Ancient Temple Opens

"Rumble——"

With the slow opening of the ancient temple’s massive doors, an ancient and desolate aura rushed forth. Gu Sheng followed closely behind the Supreme Elder, charging into the ancient hall.

Inside, the hall was dim and mysterious, with walls carved with ancient runes and patterns. Gu Sheng glanced around, unable to suppress his astonishment.

"Is this really the Demon Emperor’s tomb?" he thought to himself. "It’s truly extraordinary!"

By now, the Supreme Elder had already reached an altar at the front, a gleam of greed flashing in his eyes. Seeing this, Gu Sheng’s wariness heightened.

"Buzz——"

At that moment, the altar suddenly trembled.

Immediately after, a dazzling light rose from the center of the altar, illuminating the entire hall.

"Is that... the Daoist Scripture?!" Gu Sheng exclaimed in shock.

He saw an ancient scripture suspended above the altar, radiating a mysterious and profound light—the very Daoist Scripture he had long yearned for.

At the same time, on the other side of the altar, there sat another artifact gleaming with a divine glow, clearly the treasured relic of the East Desolation’s Human Clan.

The appearance of these two items filled the hall with an aura of mystery and solemnity.

Their allure stirred the hearts of all present, their eyes betraying greed and unspoken desire.

A fierce contest concerning clans and cultivation was about to unfold within the mysterious Demon Emperor’s tomb.

"Hahaha! The Daoist Scripture and the East Desolation Human Clan’s treasure—these shall finally fall into the hands of my Destruction Hall!" the Supreme Elder declared with laughter, his figure flashing as he lunged toward the two treasures.

Just as his hand was about to touch the treasures, a golden figure suddenly descended from above, landing in front of him.

It was a golden-haired girl, the same Demon Clan maiden who had previously clashed with the Sect Leader of Destruction Hall.

Her wings unfolded, and the golden divine feathers shimmered brilliantly in the dim hall.

"Hmph! You humans are endlessly greedy! These treasures are not for the likes of you to covet!" the golden-haired girl said coldly, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.

With a swift motion, she lunged toward the Supreme Elder.

The two figures clashed fiercely in the center of the grand hall, their momentum overwhelming.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng thought to himself that this was a rare opportunity.

In a flash, he darted toward the two treasures.

Just as he was about to touch them, a powerful surge of energy suddenly struck from behind.

Startled, Gu Sheng swiftly twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the lethal attack.

Turning back, he saw a middle-aged man with a sinister expression coldly glaring at him.

"Boy, are you trying to fish in troubled waters?" the man said with a sneer.

Gu Sheng sighed inwardly, knowing he had been exposed.

Seizing the commotion, Gu Sheng crept closer to the altar, waiting for the perfect moment to act.

Just as his hand was about to touch the Daoist Scripture, an intense oppressive force suddenly descended upon him.

"Hmph! Boy, do you think you can steal the treasure in the chaos?" a chilling voice whispered in his ear.

Turning back, Gu Sheng saw that same sinister-faced middle-aged man glaring coldly at him.

Gu Sheng tensed, realizing he was once again exposed.

Yet, he stared directly back at the man without flinching. "Junior was merely curious. Since Senior is keen on obtaining these treasures, this junior dares not cross you."

The man laughed cynically. "Curious? I say you’re simply overreaching with greed! Now that you’ve been found out, you might as well leave your life behind!"

With those words, his figure flashed as he attacked Gu Sheng.

Without hesitation, Gu Sheng met him head-on.

Their battle within the hall erupted with explosive energy.

However, Gu Sheng’s strength fell short of the middle-aged man’s.

After dozens of exchanges, Gu Sheng began feeling his stamina wane.

At that very moment, the altar unleashed another surge of formidable energy.
