Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 362 A Precious Minute
Thinking of all the bad luck he'd had over the years, Minghai couldn't help but sigh again.

If he possessed the supreme treasure Star Tower and top-tier treasures like the 'Absolute Blade' and 'Calamity Armor', just like Luo Feng, he could rampage through the inner domain of the Peak Realm and rob treasures at will.

Without the strongest being in the universe appearing, no one can do anything to him.

Especially now that the strongest fusion technique of the universe master has been created.

However, after creating the strongest fusion technique of the universe master, his strength increased significantly, which was enough for him to establish himself in the inner domain of the Peak Realm.

He wasn't exactly unruly, but his existence was extremely rare.

Let's go check out the 'Black Mist Cave'!

Shortly after, Minghai adjusted the flight direction of the 'Azure Cloud Cauldron' and flew towards the 'Black Mist Cave' deep within the Inclined Peak Realm, near the core area.

Even within the same inner region, the level of danger varies from place to place.

The deeper one goes into the base of the mountain, the greater the dangers hidden within; in some places, even the most precious treasures of the peak palace can be destroyed.

Those are places that even the strongest beings in the universe wouldn't go, let alone the Underworld Sea.

Of course, places capable of destroying the supreme treasures of the peak palace are extremely rare, and there are not many within the entire Qingfeng Realm.

The 'Black Mist Cave' is located near the core area, filled with terrifying black mist that can corrode any treasure below the peak level and interfere with perception. It also occasionally experiences 'black mist tides' that sweep across everything, making the environment extremely harsh.

But the treasures there are of a very high quality.

Once a treasure appears, it is at least a top-tier treasure, and the frequency of top-tier domain treasures and top-tier palace treasures appearing is also very high.

It is said that thousands of years ago, a cosmic lord in the Second Cycle Land obtained a super-grade supreme treasure that was infinitely close to the ultimate treasure when he was adventuring in the 'Black Mist Cave'.

The universe masters who dare to venture into the 'Black Mist Cave' are all top-tier fifth-order universe masters, each with extraordinary strength and their own trump cards.

Previously, Minghai's strength was not enough to qualify him to go to the 'Black Mist Cave,' but now that he has created the strongest fusion technique, his strength and confidence have greatly increased, so he plans to go there to take a look.

Obtaining treasures would be ideal, but even without treasures, fighting and battling the powerful figures there is still a valuable experience.

His next goal is to create a sixth-order secret technique, which is the strongest secret technique in the universe. The difficulty is tens of millions of times greater than the strongest ultimate technique of the Lord of the Universe to the strongest ultimate technique fused with the Lord of the Universe. He needs to see more secret techniques and ultimate moves and gain more combat experience.

……

Three hundred years later.

In a pitch-black cave, where there was no light, Minghai activated the 'Sun God Armor,' which emitted a dazzling light like the sun, illuminating the eerie black mist around him as he slowly flew.

After flying billions of kilometers, we arrived at the end of this cave, at the passage connecting to another cave.

There are hundreds of such passages in each cave, and countless caves and passages form a complex 'Black Mist Maze' terrain.

Upon entering the passage, the flight speed rapidly increased, quickly reaching a hundred times the speed of light.

In the 'Black Mist Cavern', the passages between these caves are the safest places. Although the space is still incredibly stable and teleportation is impossible, you can fly with peace of mind.

Half an hour later, they entered another cave, which was also completely dark and filled with eerie black mist with a strong corrosive effect.

The perception range in the cave is less than 100,000 kilometers, and the eyes are also useless, making the search efficiency very low. However, in the 'Black Mist Cave,' this is the only means of searching.

After searching this cave for over a month without finding anything, Minghai re-entered the passage and headed to the next cave.

"Ok?"

After leaving the passage and flying hundreds of billions of kilometers, the Underworld Sea discovered the anomaly.

The entire cave was filled with a suffocating atmosphere. The space was more solid than other places, and a sense of restlessness could be faintly felt from the black mist in the air.

"Oh no, it's the 'Black Mist Tide'!" Minghai's expression changed, and he quickly turned around and flew back the way he came.

'Black Mist Tide' is a terrifying phenomenon in 'Black Mist Cavern'. Once it occurs, the black mist throughout 'Black Mist Cavern' becomes extremely violent, sweeping in all directions like a 'tide'.

The power of the 'Black Mist Tide' is tens of millions of times stronger than simple black mist. Even the most precious palace treasures inside could only last for three days at most.

We must leave the Black Mist Cave before the Black Mist Tide fully forms, or we will surely die.

Dying once is nothing, but the supreme treasures and top-level domain treasures on my body, as well as the two top-level treasures I obtained in the inner domain over the past three hundred years, will all be lost.

The cost is too high; the Underworld cannot afford it.

"I don't know how long this 'Black Mist Tide' will last. If it really doesn't work, the only option is to summon the Blood Realm Passage back to the Primal Universe and have the 'Blood God Child' in the 'Water Area' cave summon a smaller Blood Realm Passage to come here!"

Minghai thought to himself, somewhat annoyed.

The environment within the Peak Realm is complex, and traveling there is extremely time-consuming. It would take at least a hundred years to travel from the 'waters' outside back to the 'Black Mist Cave' near the core area.

Minghai is not one of those universe lords who have existed for countless years and are oblivious to the passage of time. He is unwilling to waste a hundred years of his life.

woohoo~~~
A mournful shriek echoed through the cave. The 'Black Mist Tide' had a mysterious origin, but it always appeared very quickly, starting in the blink of an eye.

Rumble~~~
The omnipresent black mist suddenly became violent, sweeping across the cave like a tornado.

Minghai entered the 'Azure Cloud Cauldron', contracted his will, and hid in a narrow corner of the cave, minimizing the area affected by the raging black mist, waiting for the 'black mist tide' to end.

Although the 'Black Mist Tide' is terrifying, it doesn't last long; it usually ends in one to three days.

However, this is not always the case; sometimes it can take more than three days, or even longer.

It is said that there was once a 'black fog tide' that lasted for more than 10,000 years!
But Minghai's luck was unexpectedly good this time.

The terrifying 'black fog tide' only lasted for one day before it began to weaken.

"Ok?"

Sensing that the 'Black Mist Tide' was beginning to weaken, Minghai was overjoyed and quickly prepared to rush out the moment the 'Black Mist Tide' disappeared.

Because every time the 'Black Mist Tide' disappears, the mysterious black mist that was originally everywhere in the 'Black Mist Cave' will also disappear for one minute!

Within one minute, mental perception and visual range will return to normal.

With Minghai's perception abilities and the speed of the top-tier flying palace treasure 'Qingyun Cauldron', he could examine more than a hundred caves in a minute, with a comprehensive and thorough examination that revealed every corner.

Search efficiency is billions of times greater than usual!
In fact, this is the real reason why Minghai was willing to carry the 'Black Mist Tide' and wait in the 'Black Mist Cave'.

Normally, the search efficiency is too low, but once the 'Black Mist Tide' ends, as long as there is treasure nearby, it will definitely be discovered!
Several minutes later, the commotion outside the 'Azure Cloud Cauldron' gradually subsided.

Sensing the intensity of the 'Black Mist Tide', at some point, the Nether Sea extended its ethereal divine power outward to sense the outside world, enduring the continuous erosion of its divine power, waiting for the moment when the 'Black Mist Tide' would completely cease.

He wanted to make the most of that minute, not wasting a single millisecond, so what did it matter if he expended some divine power for it?
Before long, the 'black mist tide' outside completely stopped.

brush!
Minghai immediately extended his thoughts, scanning the cave, which was approximately trillion kilometers in diameter, across its entirety.

It lacks the aura of a priceless treasure.

call out!
The speed of the 'Azure Cloud Cauldron' instantly increased to a hundred times the speed of light, and it passed through the passage in an instant, entering another cave nearby.

There's still no trace of a supreme treasure.
