It had been half a year since Qin Hao graduated from the Elite Training Camp. In those six months, Luo Feng's rapid growth became the topic of the Elite Training Camp, following Qin Hao.
"Qin Hao hasn't been heard from for several months. Nothing bad could have happened to him, right?" Zhao Ruo asked, sitting with Shi Jiang and Luo Feng in Jiangnan Pavilion.
"Nothing should happen to him. Qin Hao is already a Senior War God and has the Black God Suit. Even a warrior beyond a God of War would find it difficult to kill him easily," Shi Jiang said. As a genius of the Dojo of Limits, as long as he wasn't killed immediately, he could directly contact the Dojo. No warrior beyond a God of War globally would be willing to take that risk.
"That's right. Qin Hao went out for training. He must be immersed in his cultivation," Luo Feng said, quite familiar with Qin Hao's cultivation madness. Before the college entrance exam, he cultivated frantically to become a Quasi-warrior, and in the Elite Training Camp, stories of Qin Hao's crazy cultivation were often heard.
"I hope so," Zhao Ruo said, still with some worry in her tone.
"Instead of worrying about Qin Hao, you should worry about yourselves. You're about to embark on a life-and-death adventure in Australia," Shi Jiang said solemnly. Even veteran students were extremely cautious about life-and-death adventures.
Luo Feng listened to the two discussing the life-and-death adventure, and he also took it very seriously.
While Luo Feng, Zhao Ruo, and Shi Jiang were preparing for the life-and-death adventure, Qin Hao once again entered the Trial Tower. Nearly two months had passed in the outside world, but Qin Hao had spent about a year and a half inside.
The results of a year and a half of cultivation were fully displayed at this moment. Entering the Trial Tower, Qin Hao showed no panic. Facing the herd of Mang Ox, he advanced calmly, his speed increasing exponentially with each step.
His speed reached its peak just before he made contact with the Mang Ox herd, and at the same time, a five-colored light flashed around him as all five elements of his domain were released.
The nine layers of the domain overlapped, and the surrounding Mang Ox herd was instantly suppressed by the domain upon contact, turning into dust in a flash. The entire process was incredibly strange, as if their life force had been completely absorbed. This was Qin Hao's new understanding of the domain after a year and a half, a slight fusion of the five-element domain.
With the wood domain as the core fusion mode, while enhancing Qin Hao's own physical recovery ability, it could also absorb the enemy's life force.
Ten hours later, all the Mang Ox on the first layer of the Trial Tower disappeared, and Qin Hao's figure vanished, reappearing on the Second Layer.
On a vast plain, ten thousand blood-colored mammoths appeared on the ground. Although they were all Planetary Level, the blood-colored mammoths and the Mang Ox were like the difference between a common monster and an elite monster.
The blood-colored mammoths, with their high HP, thick flesh, and strong bodies, brought even greater pressure. However, Qin Hao, fresh from the battle on the first layer, was in an excited state. His domain fully activated, he charged towards the blood-colored mammoths. After a brief clash, the blood-colored mammoths were still being rapidly slaughtered by Qin Hao.
However, the power of the Planetary Level could not break through the numerical suppression on the domain. After slaying over a thousand blood-colored mammoths, Qin Hao's body was overwhelmed and disappeared from the Trial Tower.
"My strength is still too low. Although the domain is powerful, its consumption is also great, far from what a Planetary Level can fully master." Qin Hao had a clear understanding of his failure. The domain was standard for Territory Lord Rank, and while many geniuses also comprehended the domain to become invincible at the same rank, the meaning was completely different.
A Territory Lord Rank could unleash 100% of the domain's power, a Universe Rank less than 50%, an Astral Rank less than 20%, and a Planetary Level less than 5%. The domain was like a heavy weapon; in the hands of someone with natural divine strength, it was a sharp tool, but in the hands of an ordinary person, it could only be a burden.
"The next step is to comprehensively improve my strength and break through to the Astral Rank." Qin Hao set a new goal for himself, "Now that I've passed the first layer of the Trial Tower, let's see how many good things Source Star King left behind."
"I didn't expect you to complete the assessment so quickly. Now, follow me to my master's treasury." Without Qin Hao's summons, Gu Lao had already appeared before him, and the back hall's door had opened.
"After the master became a Champion, he entered the Outside Territory Battlefield to fight in the starfield, obtaining many treasures, all of which are in the treasury," Gu Lao said, a deep sense of longing flashing in his eyes. "The treasures in the treasury include secret method, treasure, and various resources collected by the master, treasures of all attributes."
The two quickly arrived before a treasury. The giant door, over a hundred meters high, slowly opened under Gu Lao's operation.
"This treasury is entirely made of G-grade metal, which is extremely precious even in the universe."
Entering the treasury, the entire space was enormous, filled with various exotic treasures, emitting brilliant light. Gu Lao did not stop but continued deeper into the treasury.
"These treasures were all collected by the master in the Outside Territory Battlefield, war trophies obtained by the master from slaying strong individuals of various races," Gu Lao explained as he walked, introducing the origins of some treasures: weapons of Monster Race Champion, rare ores snatched from Undying of the Insect Race, and various exotic treasures obtained from the Outside Territory Battlefield.
Soon, the two arrived at the deepest part of the treasury, on a massive altar.
"This is the core of the entire treasury. Your information has been entered, and you can enter anytime. The three world ring above are the core of the master's legacy. The first ring contains all the secret method of the master and Origin Star. The second world ring is the various five-element resources collected by the master. The third ring is the treasure obtained by the master from the Star Tower in the Outside Territory Battlefield. Unfortunately, the master had not fully refined it before he fell," Gu Lao said mournfully.
"Take these three world ring for now."
"However, although you have completed the master's trial and obtained his legacy, you still have a long way to go in the future. Next, I will guide your cultivation on behalf of the master." Saying this, Gu Lao handed a smart wristband to Qin Hao.
"I'll trouble Gu Lao from now on," Qin Hao said sincerely. Although he had made progress, Qin Hao was still somewhat dissatisfied. The 9x gene + talent transformation should not have had such limited effects.
"Prepare to leave here now. The commotion you caused last time was too great; the master's divine kingdom is on the verge of collapse," Gu Lao said, leading Qin Hao outside the main hall, then collecting the hall into a world ring. A massive secret method array appeared on the ground.
"This is a secret method left by the master based on his comprehension of Space Law, which can teleport us outside the divine kingdom."
The surrounding energy began to gather, and the power of the secret method was rapidly activated. As the secret method was activated, the surrounding space began to shatter, and the stars of the entire divine kingdom began to break apart, turning into nothingness inch by inch.
The turbulent power continuously impacted the great array formed by the secret method. As more power swept in, the secret method array transformed into a ray of light, carrying Qin Hao and disappearing within the divine kingdom.
