Chapter 208, Jade Valley
Crimson Flame Marsh.
This is an extremely dangerous place in the inner region of Liuzhong Mountain. There are nine dangerous places recorded on the map alone. The most dangerous one is a lava swamp where lava columns erupt irregularly, which can directly annihilate the divine body of the Lord of the Universe.
To venture into the inner regions of the three forbidden zones, a top-tier palace treasure is essential, and of course, a supreme palace treasure is even better. It can basically block over 70% of environmental dangers, and even the strongest beings in the universe cannot destroy a top-tier palace treasure with a single blow.
A nine-story cyan tower floated above the Crimson Flame Swamp. Inside the Wind and Thunder Tower, Huang's clone stared at a location hundreds of billions of kilometers below the Crimson Flame Swamp, where the aura of a supreme treasure emanated.
In fact, this isn't the only supreme treasure in the Crimson Flame Swamp; there are several even at the peak level within a radius of one trillion kilometers. However, this peak supreme treasure is one that can be sensed moving with the surging magma, while the others are too far away, far from being ready to emerge.
However, at this rate of movement, barring unforeseen circumstances, it would likely take hundreds of thousands of years to reach the surface of the Crimson Flame Swamp.
After marking the location on the map, Huang's clone controlled the Wind and Thunder Tower to leave the Crimson Flame Swamp and continue flying towards the designated spot.
In terms of treasures alone, he already has enough at the level of a universe master. As for the most powerful treasures, that depends on fate; if the fate isn't there, being impatient won't help. Actually, the reason he came to Liuchong Mountain this time was to see the place where the Demon-Suppressing Island Master was trapped, to study it, and to see what insights he could gain.
Since that formation could trap at least a fourth-order Universe Lord, it should normally be able to trap him, who is not worthy of the title of "Universe Lord". However, the Lord of the Forbidden Demon Island became the strongest in the universe by using the formation that trapped him in just a few hundred million epochs. If he studies it, he should be able to become the Universe Lord.
Most importantly, he has many clones, so even if one is trapped, it's not a big deal. Especially since he can put a bamboo shoot from one of his Qingyuzhu clones inside, it won't interfere with his research on the formation or his treasure hunting outside. If all else fails, he can just self-destruct; he can afford to lose some ordinary peak-level treasures anyway.
Traveling and stopping intermittently, they flew through the inner region of Liuchong Mountain for tens of thousands of years, avoiding hundreds of dangers along the way. Of course, some of these dangers were withstood by relying on the Wind and Thunder Tower. They also fought against dozens of fourth and fifth-order universe masters. Finally, they escaped with the help of a supreme treasure of the peak domain and arrived at a quiet and peaceful valley.
Of course, the news that a Universe Lord possessing a supreme treasure resembling a cloud-like peak domain had appeared in the inner region of Liuchong Mountain spread throughout the cosmic sea. The Lord of Shouyu Island of the Purple Moon Holy Land, who was already inquiring about this news, immediately learned of it as well.
However, the inner depths are generally only ventured into by fifth-order universe lords and some fourth-order universe lords with extremely strong life-saving abilities. Therefore, whether the Lord of Shouyu should go in is still under consideration.
The Wind and Thunder Tower rested on a huge mountain peak outside the valley, and Huang's clone quietly observed the valley, which was billions of kilometers away and several light-years in diameter, through the Cloud Dream Realm.
Over the years, Li Yan's clone has devoured all the ordinary fire-attribute top-tier treasures left behind by the Demon-Suppressing Island Master, as well as the dozen or so top-tier treasures he exchanged. He even devoured some ordinary top-tier treasure armors he obtained along the way. His gene multiplier has successfully increased to 7400 times, far surpassing Qing Yuzhu's clone and becoming the clone with the highest gene multiplier among the five clones.
During the exploration in the Cloud Dream Realm, there was nothing unusual about this valley. On the map of the Demon-Suppressing Island Master, it was only marked with the name "Azure Jade Valley". However, within a range of one trillion kilometers sensed by Huang's clone, a terrifying treasure was detected.
Although it is not as powerful as the Star Tower on the battlefield outside the realm, it is definitely more terrifying than any treasure I have ever seen.
It could very well be an extremely powerful treasure!
In a peaceful and quiet valley, there was no sign of anything unusual, not even a trace of information was revealed. It was indeed a dangerous place that had once trapped the Lord of the Demon-Suppressing Island for countless eons.
But this is the inner region of Liuchong Mountain; its tranquility and peace are the greatest anomaly! Hurricanes, flames, frost, sandstorms, thunder, lava, and torrents—environments capable of annihilating the body of a universe master—are the norm! Strange suction forces emanating from anywhere, swallowing the universe master and leaving him unable to escape, are the norm! Occasionally appearing mazes trap the universe master within them for trillions of epochs, unable to escape—that's the norm!
The Wind and Thunder Tower stood quietly on the mountain peak outside the valley.
"This is the place, isn't it?" The Giant Axe Founder asked, looking at the Lord of Chaos City.
"Yes." The Chaos City Lord nodded, his gaze fixed intently on the platform that looked as if it had been cleaved by a battle blade. This platform resembled a "Peak-Swept Realm" shrunk countless times, with a mountain peak straight cut off by a single stroke, revealing a platform with a diameter of hundreds of millions of kilometers, shrouded in clouds and mist.
"Based on the last coordinates where contact was lost, this is definitely the place."
"That's good. Let's see if the clues left by that Demon-Suppressing Island Lord will still be useful." The savage giant with disheveled hair held a large, broad axe in his hand, its blade flashing with a cold light.
"Alright." After a long while, the Lord of Chaos finally spoke.
Everyone assumed they had entered the inner domain, and even the Giant Axe Founder was likely to have gone to the core area. However, nearly two hundred thousand years have passed, and the Chaos City Lord and the Giant Axe Founder are still in the outer domain! On a hidden platform within the outer domain!
Even with clues, the founder of the giant axe and the Lord of Chaos City were still extremely cautious. Who knew if the clues left by the Lord of the Forbidden Demon Island would still be useful? If they were also trapped here, half of the sky for the human race would collapse!
If it can be broken, it will be broken according to the requirements of the formation; if not, the founder of the giant axe will forcefully sweep it away, destroying the formation base that carries the formation's secret patterns, thus greatly reducing the formation's power.
On the mountain peak outside Qingyu Valley, a tender Qingyu bamboo shoot appeared, which then transformed into a Qingyu bamboo that was millions of kilometers tall and entered a black sphere that was tens of millions of kilometers tall.
It's just an ordinary top-tier treasure. For that ultimate treasure, for the sake of researching formations, he can afford to lose even if he fails.
The newly born Qingyuzhu controlled the supreme treasure sphere of the peak palace and slowly flew towards Qingyu Valley.
Near the edge of Qingyu Valley, amidst the tranquility, a sudden suction force appeared. The newly formed Qingyu Bamboo, which was controlling the black sphere, had no time to react before being sucked in, as if breaking through a barrier and falling directly into Qingyu Valley.
Time and space rippled slightly, and everything seemed as if nothing had happened; the valley remained quiet and peaceful.
Inside the Wind and Thunder Tower atop the mountain, the four clones of Ye Muxuan—Huang, Qing Yuzhu, Li Yan, and Qing Sui—faced to face each other, completely unable to discern what had just transpired.
P.S.: I originally named it Fenglei Tower, intending it to be Leifeng Tower, but I ended up typing it as Leifeng Tower several times.
