In the blink of an eye, Lin Hao and Tia had been traveling through the inner domain passage for ten days.
The road ahead still seemed to have no end.
The interior of the mountain is crisscrossed with passages of all sizes, forming an incredibly vast underground labyrinth.
Lin Hao was not in a hurry and proceeded slowly and steadily, following the safe route he remembered.
Occasionally, when he encounters a fork in the road, he will cautiously release his domain to investigate, and if he finds nothing, he will continue on the main road.
As they went deeper, the surrounding temperature continued to rise.
The space seemed to be filled with violent energy particles.
Lin Hao sensed the temperature and found that it was high enough that even top-tier cosmic overlords wearing advanced treasure armor would find it difficult to withstand for long.
They will continuously deplete their divine power, and even the weaker cosmic overlords might be burned to death after only a few minutes!
But for Lin Hao, who was now wearing the Supreme Treasure, this temperature felt like soaking in a hot spring.
boom!
Not far ahead, a fissure in the rock wall suddenly spewed forth a burst of blazing red flames!
laugh!
Space was scorched and violently distorted.
The power of this flame posed no threat to Lin Hao himself, but he didn't want Tia to expend her divine power.
He stopped, kept his distance to observe, and waited for the flames to subside before proceeding again.
Moreover, he deliberately took a detour to avoid areas that might be affected by the flames.
He was already used to this kind of situation, having traveled for ten days.
Fortunately, Tia was a very professional bodyguard. If it had been a different "older sister" accompanying him into the inner region, he might have gotten into trouble due to distraction.
These mountain eruptions are not very frequent and follow certain patterns, so as long as you are careful enough, there shouldn't be any major problems.
The further you go in, the wider the passage becomes.
At this moment, Lin Hao looked up and saw that the top was like a miniature universe, with a height of nearly one light-year.
The two rock walls are more than 100 million kilometers apart.
During these ten days, he did not encounter any other powerful figures in the Cosmic Sea.
This is the edge of the inner domain, so in theory we should encounter some fourth-order universe lords who have come here to try their luck.
They moved forward for a while longer.
On the rock walls on both sides, some smaller forks appeared again.
Lin Hao maintained his speed and continued forward on the main road.
Ok?
Chapter 168 Deadly Trap!
boom!
Suddenly, a large burst of flames erupted from the rock wall ahead, almost blocking the entire passage.
Chi Chi Chi!
Even space itself was distorted by the fire.
Lin Hao showed no intention of dodging, maintaining his speed without slowing down or even bothering to avoid the flames, and charged straight ahead.
Seeing this, Tia could only endure the drain on her divine power and follow closely behind.
Whoosh!
The two broke free of the flames and continued on their way.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
He teleported several short distances in quick succession, his figure disappearing into the distance rapidly.
……
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Hao has been in the inner domain of the Qingfeng Realm for a hundred years!
He followed the route on the map without stopping for a moment.
Finally, on this day, they truly stepped into the inner depths of the Peak Realm.
Upon arriving here, it felt like entering the heart of a mountain, and the surrounding temperature immediately rose to another level.
This place is already a forbidden zone for fourth-order universe masters.
Without the strength of a top-tier fifth-order individual or above, coming here is basically a death sentence.
Even the previously renowned Lord An-yong, known for his defensive prowess, dared not set foot in this area.
Normally, only true gods or top-tier fifth-order powerhouses would dare to explore this place with extreme caution.
For example, the founder of the human race's giant axe, the lord of Chaos City, and the master of Penggong were all pioneers and explorers in this region.
The human race's own roadmap is almost finished here, with very few records remaining.
But Lin Hao still had the map of the Mountain Guest and the silk-pulling diagram of the Lord of the Cave.
A winding route leads directly to the deepest part of the inner core.
However, Lin Hao certainly wouldn't be so stubborn as to take that path; it's an obvious trap, only a fool would step into it.
Swish!
Lin Hao flashed and instantly appeared a thousand miles ahead.
boom!
A burst of scorching flames suddenly erupted from the spot where he had just landed.
Deep within the inner domain, these flame eruptions were completely unpredictable, occurring every now and then, which Lin Hao had long been accustomed to.
According to the original text, when Luo Feng and the Lord of Ice Peak were fighting over the fragments of the Thread-Pulling Diagram, Luo Feng managed to snatch several large pieces.
"I suspect that one of the fragments records the route to the core of the inner domain!"
"The Silk-Pulling Map doesn't show any danger like the Mountain-Sitting Guest's map. After obtaining that supreme treasure axe, Giant Axe became too confident and ventured in according to the map, ultimately perishing!"
Lin Hao's mind conjured up those complex roadmaps.
Besides the winding road leading to the core, there are dozens of relatively shorter routes.
The vast majority of these routes are interrupted halfway through.
If you look closely, you'll find that they all vaguely point to that core area.
There are dozens of routes, some of which occasionally converge on the edge of dangerous areas.
Moreover, no matter where these short routes end, their destination is near the middle of the winding main road—an irregular, dark area marked "extremely dangerous" in red on the map!
In other words, no matter which route map you get, the final destination of the exploration will always be near that area.
If you only have one or a few map fragments, it's hard to spot the problem.
But Lin Hao had a complete map, was in the area, and knew the inside story. Looking down at the entire layout from his vantage point, he immediately noticed the problem.
"What a great gesture!"
Lin Hao sneered.
The map is real, there's no doubt about that.
That area must be the legendary "Dark Land"!
The dark place is inherently a dangerous place where it is easy to get lost.
No one could have imagined that such a terrifying being as the Beast of the Realm existed there.
"Before entering the core of the inner domain, the giant axe had already obtained that supreme treasure axe."
"This means that he explored one of these dozens of routes first, obtained the axe, and then went to take the main road leading to the core!"
Which one exactly?
Lin Hao had a bit of a headache.
This is also why he came to explore the inner region of the Peak Realm!
As long as we intercept the Giant Axe's supreme treasure in advance, and find a reason to prevent the clan from coming to the Peak Realm in the future, the Giant Axe will not have fallen in vain!
perfect!
With dozens of routes, the probability of finding the right one is too low.
Does anyone know which fragment Luo Feng and Bing Feng snatched in the original novel?
It would be too time-consuming and laborious to travel all of the dozens of routes!
Despite the difficulties, Lin Hao still had to go, since it concerned a supreme treasure axe!
"Let's just pick one and start!"
Lin Hao glanced at the list and chose a route.
Whoosh!
He continued onward.
Upon arriving here, even Lin Hao dared not use short-distance teleportation lightly anymore, and instead flew at near the speed of light.
boom!
As we traveled along, flames would suddenly erupt from both sides without warning.
The flames here are much hotter; it's estimated that even a third or fourth-tier universe lord wearing top-tier or ordinary peak-tier treasure armor would be burned to ashes if they came into contact with them.
Woohoo~~~
Strange noises can often be heard along some sections of the road.
