Chapter 1305 - Collecting Without Restraint
Chen Fan felt like warm tears were welling up in his eyes when he saw the palace halls in the distance.
“I can finally see the opposite bank!”
He had been dashing madly across the ice river for three whole days, unaware of how far he had come. Now, the sight of the distant palace halls confirmed it: there was an end to this frozen hell.
At his speed, it took three days just to reach this point. Those struggling behind, slowly advancing and clinging to survival, would take far longer.
Even though they would also capture the treasure demon spirits and absorb their treasure qi along the way to strengthen their physique, their foundation was far from comparable to Chen Fan’s. Even with improvement, they couldn’t match his level or speed.
Some might need half a month, or longer, to escape this ice river, all while dealing with ambushes from demon spirits, further delaying them.
Yet, Chen Fan spotted human silhouettes moving among the palace halls across the river. Clearly, others had already crossed and entered.
This surprised him, but not too much.
Among the tens of thousands of people who entered, many were Void Immortals or had cultivated their physiques. If they had discovered the way out of the flaming mountain range early and entered the river ahead of time, it would make sense. With their power, crossing wouldn’t have been too difficult.
Therefore, it was only normal that some people had arrived before him.
Moreover, many among those who entered had powerful backgrounds. These people also had methods, treasures, or immortal artifacts to resist the coldness of the ice river of death, which Chen Fan saw while crossing the river.
In contrast, most still struggling in the river were rogue cultivators: no backing, little wealth, relying only on the most primitive means to survive.
