The closer he got to the Dark Land, the more the surrounding space-time began to change, and even the surrounding sand and rocks started to decrease significantly. Qin Hao advanced rapidly within the Inner Domain, completely ignoring the changes in the surrounding environment.
“I'm about to enter the designated area.” Although Qin Hao’s speed of advancement didn't change, he became cautious in his heart. Even with the confidence to deal with three True God-level powerhouses, Qin Hao still couldn't let his guard down.
Being able to force the Ninth-Order True God-level Great Axe Founder into the Dark Land, the strength of these Three God Ancestors was not weak; at the very least, their combined strength reached a level close to that of a 10th Tier True God.
Quietly slowing down, Qin Hao’s aura gradually receded. His powerful divine power, divine body, will, and soul power all began to retract, disguising him as a sixth-order Universe Lord-level powerhouse.
It was not easy for a sixth-order Universe Lord to enter the Universe Sea, and even more so to enter the Inner Domain with extreme caution. Qin Hao’s blatant state did not conform to the character he wanted to impersonate.
With too much power, even Thunderstorm Star Lord and the others might be deterred by the immense strength and possibly hide away.
Now, with such a weak sixth-order Universe Lord, Thunderstorm Star Lord and the others would not be so cautious after discovering him. Even if they suspected Qin Hao’s strength was not simple, they would not refrain from making a move.
As he advanced, Qin Hao also observed the surrounding environment. Although there was still a continuous distance from the Dark Land, the aura of the Dark Land could already be clearly felt.
Even with the Dark Land's restrictions, the destructive aura emanating from within had already begun to affect the surrounding area. Within tens of thousands of light-years of the Dark Land, the destructive aura was progressing from shallow to deep.
The surrounding sand and rocks, the environment, and even the surrounding space-time were like the Source of Destruction, an aura of destruction, that heart-pounding feeling, quietly emerging.
If an ordinary Universe Lord reached this place, he wouldn't even dare to advance an inch; even a True God-level powerhouse reaching here would want to retreat.
Feeling the change in aura, Qin Hao did not continue to advance. Qin Hao also controlled his route, carefully analyzing the hidden positions of Thunderstorm Star Lord and the others, constantly exploring and waiting for the Three God Ancestors to appear.
The current situation was that the enemy was in the dark. Although Qin Hao had absolute confidence, he still had to be careful in the process of advancing. Moreover, after the battle, Qin Hao also had to resolve it quickly.
Thunderstorm Star Lord himself was controlled by the World Beast. Once the news spread, Qin Hao’s idea of secretly entering the Dark Land might also be guessed by the World Beast, which would add many twists and turns to his journey.
“It seems I need to use some methods.” After exploring the area outside the Dark Land for a year, Qin Hao was ready to adopt a new approach.
Simply relying on such a luck-based method, his chances of finding Thunderstorm Star Lord were very small. After all, this area alone was vast; even after eliminating most places, it was still tens of thousands of light-years, and trying to find someone there was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
As Qin Hao thought, streams of divine power began to split from his divine body, rapidly forming numerous divine power clones. These clones were small, only a few tens of centimeters in size.
The only purpose of these clones was rapid exploration. They could be said to cast a wide net, and being small also had its advantages.
Under Qin Hao’s demonstration of his understanding of laws, these clones merged with the surrounding sand and rocks, disguised as sand, and using the power of the sand, they continuously advanced and spread, able to quickly expand into various areas.
Furthermore, these divine power clones themselves had weak divine power, which had no impact on Qin Hao. Even if discovered, they could completely self-destruct to deceive Thunderstorm Star Lord.
After the clones dispersed, Qin Hao did not idle. He continued to explore the current area, constantly feeling the aura leaking from the Dark Land and the will of destruction.
Although Qin Hao had not yet gained much understanding of the Source of Destruction, his third clone, the Destroyer, was a natural Destroyer born within the Primordial Universe, with an innate affinity for the Source of Destruction.
Based on his understanding of the Destroyer, as well as his comprehension of laws and the will of destruction, Qin Hao was still able to perceive this destructive aura from the Dark Land.
Outsiders mostly felt disgust, repulsion, and fear towards this aura, the fundamental reason being that the World Beast's existence was for destruction, to destroy the Primordial Universe, and also to destroy other universes; it was a natural universe devourer.
Even the Two Great Holy Lands, which had existed for a long time in the Universe Sea, could not resist the World Beast and would be devoured by it. Furthermore, devouring such a universe would only take one day for a World Beast King. Its terrifying extent is imaginable.
It was precisely such an existence that the Primordial Universe naturally rejected, and the beings born from the Primordial Universe also naturally rejected such an existence. This is why the Dark Land became an area that no force or race wanted to touch.
Not only its environment, but also the powerful World Beast, an almost unsolvable World Beast. Even Origin Ancestor, who once roamed the Universe Sea, had no way against the World Beast of the Dark Land.
For 20 years, Qin Hao continuously explored, gaining a clearer understanding and more knowledge of the Inner Domain of the Collapsing Peak World. He also supplemented much of the original incomplete map of the Collapsing Peak World.
“Finally found them.” Feeling the message from his clone, Qin Hao’s tone couldn't help but show some excitement. Thunderstorm Star Lord and the others were not only related to the Great Axe Founder’s future and the World Beast’s plan, but also targets Qin Hao wanted to fight.
Entering the Universe Sea, Qin Hao’s greater goal was to constantly battle and gain new insights from combat. Qin Hao had always looked forward to engaging in battles and clashes with powerful individuals.
Thunderstorm Star Lord was the target Qin Hao had set his sights on. Now, after searching for decades, he finally found his target, and Qin Hao naturally felt some excitement.
After rapidly increasing his speed to a hundred times the speed of light, Qin Hao even directly controlled the surrounding space-time, continuously teleporting within space. Teleporting in the Universe Sea was a dangerous thing, and teleporting in a place like the Collapsing Peak World was even more dangerous.
However, for Qin Hao, these dangers were all within his control. Rapidly teleporting within space, Qin Hao quickly arrived at an area 100 light-years away from Thunderstorm Star Lord and the others.
100 light-years was a relatively safe area, and Qin Hao could approach Thunderstorm Star Lord without anyone knowing.
