Chapter 212: Journey to the Inner Domain

The Outer Realm of the Qingfeng Realm can be divided into the Space Domain and the Water Domain.

The Space Domain refers to the void where massive celestial mountains and stones fly, its danger level is extremely low, and only the interiors of some celestial mountains and stones are occasionally hazardous.

Countless celestial mountains and stones have, over the long ages, mostly already been explored.

So the so‑called Outer Realm of the Qingfeng Realm that the strong refer to is mostly the Water Domain.

The Water Domain formed by the impact of the waterfall spreads around the entire Main Mountain; within it, jagged rocks abound, danger is everywhere, and many places even a Universe Master dares not teleport, having to proceed cautiously by flight.

Only when the peripheral area of the Water Domain is found to be safe after a Domain-type Supreme Treasure inspection will teleportation be used.

"The Water Domain of the Qingfeng Realm's Outer Realm—its most common and terrifying danger is… the Water Flow Spirit."

Zhou Yang stands in the sky, overlooking the endless Water Domain below.

The Water Domain's breadth spans a diameter of several hundred million light‑years.

It's literally larger than the Human Race's Universe Country! Larger even than the Ancestral God Secret Realm! No one knows how Water Flow Spirits are born; they lack intelligent consciousness, possessing only instinct, and when approached closely they will attack.

A single Water Flow Spirit in this Water Domain, using the domain, can rival a Universe Master.

However, Zhou Yang's strength now ranks among the upper middle of the countless Universe Masters across the Universe Sea, so although he proceeds cautiously, he is not paralyzed.

Swish!

Zhou Yang sometimes teleports forward, other times charges into the Water Domain to explore.

At the bottom of the Water Domain are numerous peaks (protrusions on natural stones) and canyons, all potential treasure sites. Zhou Yang keeps advancing through the domain, and before he knows it, more than six months have passed.

Yet in over six months, not even a single strong individual from another force in the Universe Sea has been seen, let alone any treasure.

"It seems this Water Domain has been surveyed many times already; otherwise, not even a single treasure—or even a person—could be encountered."

Zhou Yang sighs helplessly.

There's no choice; the Qingfeng Realm is divided into the Inner Domain and the Outer Realm.

Outside the mountain body is the Outer Realm, with lower danger, yet some hazards can still cause weaker Universe Masters to fall.

Inside the mountain body is the Inner Domain, extremely dangerous; even the strongest Universe Masters may fall.

And the Core Land of the mountain body can even cause the Universe Strongest to fall!

Thus, the overwhelming majority of Universe Masters operate in the Qingfeng Realm's Outer Realm.

Through endless eras, many parts of the endless Water Domain in the Outer Realm have been plundered repeatedly.

"In this Outer Realm, gaining any reward is extremely difficult; with my current strength I should be able to go deeper. Shall we head to the Inner Domain to take a look?"

Now Zhou Yang has truly reached the Universe Master realm, and has even broken through the Perfect Gene Level by a factor of 10,081, attaining a new stage.

Moreover, his Secret Technique is also at the Universe Master's Strongest Secret Method level.

Combined with the Reincarnation Divine Armor and the Sword River Luo, it can be said that his strength now ranks fairly high among the Human Race's Universe Masters; as long as he is cautious, he should be able to protect himself in the Inner Domain. "Let's go see the mountain body of the Qingfeng Realm."

"At worst we can stay out of the mountain interior; the danger shouldn't be great."

"Wow~"

Zhou Yang bursts out onto the water's surface, gazing at the boundless waterfall cascading down the towering Qingfeng Realm Main Mountain in the distance—

Boom—boom—boom—this colossal waterfall, tens of millions of light‑years high, each droplet comparable to a star; how terrifying is the impact of this boundless cascade? If the impact were to concentrate at a single point, even the Universe Strongest would be annihilated! Yet spread out, it continuously strikes the Water Domain below, causing the vast domain to constantly shift.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Zhou Yang repeatedly uses teleportation, rapidly closing in on the Qingfeng Realm Main Mountain's body. "Hmm?"

When Zhou Yang teleports down again, his expression shifts ever so slightly.

A violent energy fluctuation emanates from the Water Domain below.

"Boom!" A silvery‑white water column suddenly erupts from the Water Domain!

The column's diameter reaches tens of thousands of kilometers, its speed exceeding light speed! A single droplet's energy in the Qingfeng Realm's Water Domain can rival a powerful star, so a column of tens of thousands of kilometers contains terrifyingly immense impact! "Swish!"

The endless secret patterns on Zhou Yang's battle boots light up, propelling his body to recoil instantly; in the blink of an eye he flashes to a distance of several hundred thousand kilometers.

Boom—boom—boom~~~

The massive column shoots straight up to millions of kilometers, then crashes down with a roar, churning a torrent of spray and dark currents.

Zhou Yang's gaze pierces the water flow downward, faintly seeing beneath the dark currents a nearly transparent, blurred phantom whose body seems to merge with the Water Domain, drifting lightly.

"Water Flow Spirit?"

He shakes his head lightly, then instantly teleports away.

According to the data the Chaos City Lord gave him, the Water Flow Spirit carries nothing of value; fighting it is a complete waste of effort.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Zhou Yang's figure swiftly teleports away, while the blurred silhouette of the 'Water Flow Spirit' drifts slowly, then sinks again into the depths of the Water Domain. "Huh, there's a combat fluctuation— a Water Flow Spirit, and also a human?"

In the distance, atop a massive celestial flying stone, a Universe Master towering tens of thousands of kilometers, clad in silver battle armor with three fierce spikes atop its head, emerges from a cave in the stone—just in time to see Zhou Yang's figure teleporting below.

"Human?"

"From its appearance, it is indeed human, but very unfamiliar; I've never seen such a divine body aura."

The Universe Master squints his eyes.

Only a handful of famous human strongmen exist in the Universe Sea; he knows them all, yet this human aura is so unfamiliar. "I've seen the appearances of all the human race's strong ones; this one is strange—likely a newly emerged Universe Master, whether from a Small Universe or from the Original Universe, I don't know. Hmph, a rookie just stepping out and recklessly teleporting like this is courting death."

The alien Universe Master's pupils flicker with a faint, fierce glint.

He glanced toward Zhou Yang's direction of advance, then silently followed, swish! swish! swish! Zhou Yang rapidly approaches the Qingfeng Realm Main Mountain's body…

Running up a mountain like a dead horse, and watching the Qingfeng Realm Main Mountain, Zhou Yang's continuous teleportation leaves him rather fatigued.

Finally, after teleporting over thirty million light‑years, he is now very close to the mountain body.

Viewing the Qingfeng Realm from afar versus experiencing it up close feels completely different.

Now, through temporal‑spatial perception, Zhou Yang can clearly see scenes within a range of tens of thousands of light‑years.

Yet compared to the Qingfeng Realm's massive volume, this is merely an iceberg tip.

The towering, endless Main Mountain peak and the colossal waterfall cascading down freely emit boundless might; that might causes countless celestial mountains and stones to orbit it, and forces vast Chaos Airflows to part.

Ancient, vast, majestic, heavy. The powerful aura continuously assaults Zhou Yang's mind and spirit, making him feel a lingering pressure.

How exactly did this Qingfeng Realm come into being? Was it born from the Universe Sea, or is it the intervention of some powerful being's will?

Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel curious.

Moreover, the Qingfeng Realm hides a Samsara Channel leading to the Origin Continent; how was that Samsara Channel formed? "Ah, there are too many secrets behind this, including the situation of the Origin Continent; even that Author Realm great deity hasn't explained it clearly. I don't know if, after my transmigration, he wrote a sequel or something—too bad I can't see it."

Zhou Yang teased himself inwardly.

He sighed, no longer dwelling on these temporarily unfathomable matters, and began to swiftly descend toward the main mountain of the Qingfeng Realm.

However, just then—

Buzz— a wave of spacetime disturbance came, and the surrounding space instantly froze.

At the same time, surging black flames poured forth like a flood covering the sky and earth, filling the surrounding area within one light‑year in an instant.

Amidst the endless flames, a towering figure tens of thousands of kilometers tall strode toward Zhou Yang. (End of chapter)
