Chapter 290 The Treasure in the Dark Domain
Flowing mountains.
In the Dark Realm.
Gu Ce's Star Flow Sea clone has been here for thousands of years.
In the Dark Domain, as long as you don't wander around aimlessly, the mortality rate isn't actually that high.
Over the years, Gu Ce's Star Flow Sea clone has remained in the Lotus Flower Ancient City, relying on the Lotus Flower Ancient City to resist the erosion of the Dark Domain.
Without a supreme palace-level treasure, entering the Dark Domain almost guarantees getting lost, unless one is extremely lucky and manages to find a way out.
However, even with a supreme palace-type treasure, it doesn't guarantee a 100% chance of passing through the Dark Domain. Otherwise, why would those God-Eye Clan universe lords go to the trouble of ramming Gu Ce into the Dark Domain?
Once inside the Dark Domain, there is no way out unless you have coordinates.
Normally, when powerful beings from the Cosmic Sea want to explore the Dark Domain of Flowing Heavy Mountain, they go in pairs, with one person staying outside the Dark Domain to act as a 'guiding coordinate' to help the other person enter the Dark Domain for exploration.
Of course, this is the way of the weak.
For powerful individuals, such as the strongest beings in the universe, as long as they possess a supreme treasure of the highest palace type, they can freely explore the Dark Domain, and even traverse the entire Dark Domain to enter the core area of Flowing Heavy Mountain for exploration.
Gu Ce's strength is still somewhat lacking to reach that level, but the Lotus Ancient City is a level above ordinary peak palace-type treasures, which makes up for this problem very well.
It's hard to say whether the Five Lords' decision to force Gu Ce into the Dark Domain was right or wrong.
They also knew that Gu Ce wouldn't die so easily, and their only goal was to prevent Gu Ce from receiving the inheritance of Duan Donghe. They had already achieved their goal, and now all they had to do was pray that Gu Ce would die in the Dark Domain.
"Having spent so much time in the Dark Domain, it's time to explore this place." Gu Ce opened his eyes and looked around; all he could see was bottomless darkness.
The Dark Domain, just like its name suggests, is a deep darkness that can swallow everything. Anyone who is not determined enough will get lost as soon as they enter it. Moreover, the Dark Domain is filled with countless invisible gravitational fields. Even with the protection of palace-like treasures, one may unknowingly shift their position by hundreds of millions of kilometers or even hundreds of millions of light-years.
This is also one of the reasons why the mortality rate in the Dark Domain is extremely high.
It is highly likely that they were drawn to some dangerous places by that invisible gravitational field, where they perished completely or were trapped for countless epochs.
"The Annihilation Armor on the Five Chaos Lord seems to have been obtained from Liuchong Mountain?" Gu Ce murmured.
The Extinction God Armor, whose real name should be the Mad Demon Extinction God Armor, is an extremely powerful peak treasure armor.
If we divide the pinnacle of supreme-grade armor into three tiers, the first tier consists of ordinary pinnacle supreme-grade armor capable of reducing physical attacks to one ten-thousandth. The second tier includes armor capable of reducing physical attacks to one hundred-thousandth, such as the Time-Day Primordial Armor. The third tier comprises armors like the Star Abyss Armor and the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor, which, in addition to reducing physical attacks, also weaken soul attacks and possess other additional abilities, making them extremely close to supreme-grade treasures.
This level of treasure is extremely valuable!
You can tell by looking at the Five Elements Master.
Among all the universe lords in the Cosmic Sea, the Five Chaos Lords possess the most formidable combat power. Apart from a few individuals like the Chaos City Lord, there are virtually none who can rival them.
This treasured armor deserves a significant share of the credit.
Since he couldn't leave this dark domain anytime soon, Gu Ce decided not to go any further and instead planned to stay and see if he could find any treasures.
Flying aimlessly through the dark realm.
Gu Ce didn't know where he was. He could only use the faint connection between his clones to determine the direction of the spaceship and the original universe. If necessary, he could also use this connection to go back.
The Five Lords forced Gu Ce into the Dark Domain, perhaps thinking that since Gu Ce's main body had perished, once his Starflow Sea clone entered the Dark Domain, he would have no chance of finding his way back and would be lost within it.
Unfortunately, Gu Ce's original self is still alive and well, and his Star Flow Sea clone even possesses the innate secret technique of [Split], making it unlikely that he will be completely lost.
……
They flew for an unknown amount of time and traveled an unknown distance.
The Dark Domain is not only pitch black, but also devoid of any living beings. To explore the Dark Domain, one must be able to endure loneliness.
"Um?"
The surrounding space froze, and the gravitational field compressed instantly, causing the entire Lotus Flower Ancient City to tremble and sink downwards.
Gu Ce was not surprised but delighted. This was... a sign that a priceless treasure was about to be born!
In the Dark Domain, the gravitational field is an invisible fluctuation that hardly changes. But once it does change, it means that a treasure has appeared nearby!
Only the appearance of a supreme treasure will cause this gravitational field to change.
Following the changing direction of the surrounding gravitational field, Gu Ce quickly maneuvered the Lotus Flower Ancient City towards that direction.
The closer you get to that treasure, the stronger the surrounding gravitational field becomes!
The strength of the gravitational field can actually be used to roughly determine the level of a treasure.
Generally speaking, the treasures that appear in the Dark Domain are at least top-tier treasures, and peak treasures are also quite common. However, some extremely rare peak treasures are the truly valuable things in the Dark Domain.
"This level of strength... it's definitely a top-tier treasure!"
Gu Ce was somewhat pleased.
I've been here in Liuchong Mountain for almost an entire era, and I've finally found my first treasure!
"I wonder what kind of treasure this is?" Gu Ce murmured.
Gu Ce was somewhat impatient, as he still lacked many treasures.
For example, the Star Stream Sea clone doesn't even have a decent domain-type treasure, and has to rely on the Divine Might Thunder Prison as a substitute. However, the Divine Might Thunder Prison is a soul-type treasure, and even with a domain, its power can only be compared to an ordinary peak domain-type treasure.
Neither Gu Ce himself nor his Starflow Sea clone possessed the most basic melee-type ultimate treasures.
Swish!
Lianhua Ancient City, flying swiftly.
Despite the interference of the surrounding gravitational field, the location of the treasure can be determined by the gravitational field around it, and the flight path will not deviate significantly.
Soon, the ancient city of Lianhua approached the location of that supreme treasure.
Although it was pitch black all around, Gu Ce released his domain. With the Star Abyss Domain and the Divine Might Thunder Prison Domain working together, it could radiate outwards for about 10 light-years, thus pinpointing the location of the treasure.
"This is... a nine-fold gravity field? It's at least a top-tier treasure of the second level!" Gu Ce was pleasantly surprised.
If the protection of some treasures in the Tilted Peak Realm is like layers of light curtains, then the Flowing Heavy Mountain is like layers of gravity fields.
Only by passing through those gravitational fields can one obtain the treasures within!
The gravitational field surrounding that treasure prevented the Lotus Flower Ancient City from getting close. This gravitational field could not be broken by brute force; a weak point in the gravitational field had to be found in order to break it.
If it is to be broken by brute force, it would require extremely strong power to do so.
boom!
Gu Ce acted without hesitation!
The divine power struck, and the round shield obtained from the master of the array appeared in Gu Ce's hand. With a whoosh, it transformed into a beam of light and blasted towards the gravity field covering the treasure.
mercy!
"boom!"
Divine power collides with gravitational field!
Swish!
The first layer of gravity field was shattered.
One floor, two floors, three floors...
The first three layers of gravity fields did not pose much of an obstacle to Gu Ce; he shattered them with a single move of mercy.
With the surrounding gravitational field receding, Gu Ce's Lotus Ancient City was able to move further towards that supreme treasure.
However, the real challenge lies in the six layers of gravity fields that follow.
The first three levels can be shattered by any top-tier fourth-order universe master.
The middle three layers, however, require the strength of a top-tier fifth-order or even sixth-order individual to break through.
The last three layers would require at least an eighth-order power to destroy unless a weak point in the gravitational field is found.
Finding the weak points in the gravitational field is also a difficult task.
Gu Ce calmed down and slowly began to study the gravity field.
……
Chaos Square.
Gu Ce continued to unravel the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation.
Now that the basic standards required by Su Suo have been met, how could Gu Ce possibly give up the treasures that Su Suo promised, which met the excellent standards, after learning about the background of this inheritance?
Perhaps, within this inheritance lies a vast collection of treasures!
By then, Xingliuhai's clone will no longer need to explore Liuzhong Mountain; it will be enough for him to focus on cultivating and becoming stronger.
Breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe as soon as possible will greatly enhance one's combat power!
Of course, Liuzhong Mountain, this dangerous place, is still worth exploring.
Gu Ce didn't believe that this place was anything special, given that it could be ranked alongside the Universe Ship and the Peak Realm.
The Cosmic Ship is a remnant of the Wu Kingdom on the Origin Continent, possessing a legacy at the level of a Chaos Overlord, and it exists in more than one location.
The Peak Realm, a dark place that nurtures world beasts, is also the last place to break through reincarnation and head to the Origin Continent; it is equally unique.
Liuchong Mountain is rarely mentioned in the original work, and there is basically no information about this place.
Perhaps the secrets hidden in Liuchong Mountain are no less than those in the other two dangerous places. After all, most of the treasures in the Cosmic Sea come from the Origin Continent. The fact that so many treasures have appeared in Liuchong Mountain must mean that there is something special about it.
That's why Gu Ce initially sent Xing Liu Hai's clone to explore Liu Chong Mountain.
"If the Starflow Sea clone doesn't encounter any danger, I won't bother with it. I should focus my main efforts on breaking the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation!" Gu Ce thought to himself.
Break the Rhinoceros King's Scheme!
This is about inheritance and treasures.
Above Gu Ce, Su Wei nodded slightly and gazed into the distance.
Broken East River - Wu?
Shocked?
It's time to go see some old friends.
Su shook his head slightly, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
