"The Allgod Estate is the most suitable ruin for me. Time to go in." Zhou Tong charged towards the Allgod Estate. Space twisted, and Zhou Tong disappeared into thin air.
Spacetime twisted, and Zhou Tong reappeared in midair. In front of him was a series of lush, verdant mountains that rose and fell in a seemingly endless chain. It was almost as though a coiled dragon was lying in wait here.
This was the outermost region of the Allgod Estate – the Ten Thousand Mountains.
At the very end of the mountains, one could vaguely see countless clouds of mist. Even further away, one could see a dazzling, towering estate.
The Allgod Estate had a total of three layers. The outermost layer was the Ten Thousand Mountains, the middle layer was the Fog Sea, and the innermost and most central layer was the estate known as the Allgod Estate.
"The outermost layer of the Allgod Estate is the Ten Thousand Mountains. Each mountain contains a treasure. Daolord Allgod is quite generous!" Zhou Tong quickly focused his attention on the ten thousand mountains.
The Ten Thousand Mountains. There were exactly ten thousand mountains, no more, no less.
After Daolord Allgod had failed his Daomerge, his truesoul had dissipated. He had roamed the Endless Territories, slaying countless sinful cultivators. He had hoped that by slaying sinful cultivators, he would be able to acquire tremendous karmic luck and thus prolong the period of time that his truesoul would dissipate.
He had slain more than ten thousand World-level cultivators, and he had buried the ten thousand most powerful corpses here. Every single mountain contained a World-level treasure trove. Daolord Allgod had purposely left these treasures behind for his descendants.
Zhou Tong quickly flew to the top of a nearby mountain, then immediately began to advance on foot.
Based on what Zhou Tong had learned from the Badlands Everworld, it was best to take one step at a time in the Ten Thousand Mountains. If he flew into the skies, he would probably suffer some attacks.
As he walked, Zhou Tong spread out his heartforce and divine sense like ripples of water, scouring the area and searching for treasures.
He traversed one mountain after another, encountering countless Elder Gods and Ancestral Immortals along the way. However, upon seeing Zhou Tong, they all distanced themselves from him. When exploring ruins and searching for treasures, they were still wary of encountering cultivators with higher cultivation bases than themselves.
"Daolord Allgod perished countless years ago. I wonder how many of the ten thousand treasures here have been taken away." Zhou Tong felt rather resigned.
Although there were treasures in the ten thousand mountains, they were not easy to find. Generally speaking, only when one saw a half-opened treasure door could one be considered to have seen a treasure.
However, this was only the location of a treasure trove. It was hard to say whether or not there was a treasure trove. This was because once the treasure was taken away, the treasure space would collapse. Naturally, the treasure door would no longer exist.
During this period, Zhou Tong also saw several treasure vaults. It was just that it was a pity that the treasures inside had already been taken away by someone.
"Mmm!" Just as Zhou Tong stepped over the three thousand mountains, he finally found a half-opened door.
As he approached the door, Zhou Tong sized it up for a while before quickly stepping inside.
"Rumble!"
After Zhou Tong entered, the half-opened door closed with a loud bang.
He continued forward until he reached the end of the corridor. Soon, he saw a vast space that occupied more than five kilometers. This space was also shrouded in a misty halo.
"I finally found a treasure space that hasn't collapsed!" Zhou Tong's face lit up with joy. He quickly stepped through the misty halo and entered the treasure space.
After entering, the first thing that entered his eyes was a translucent stone coffin. Through the coffin, he could vaguely see a strange corpse. Above the coffin was a ball of light.
Clearly, the treasure was inside the ball of light.
The ten thousand treasures in the Ten Thousand Mountains were all different. Some were Dao weapons, some were Eternal weapons, some were forbidden arts, divine abilities, or some special inheritances.
It was all-encompassing, and anything was possible.
"According to the rules, the trials for World-level cultivators should be far more difficult than those for Zu Shen and Zu Xian. I wonder what sort of trials I'll face after entering." Zhou Tong entered, a hint of curiosity and eagerness in his heart.
"Ten layers of barriers?!" After entering, Zhou Tong immediately saw that the ball of light was protected by layers of barriers of light. There were a total of ten layers of barriers of light, each of which was covered with flowing violet divine runes that faintly emanated the aura of thunder.
"There's an extra layer of barriers here compared to Zu Shen and Zu Xian. This extra layer should be something that only Daolords can break through. Or perhaps it requires some special insights!" Zhou Tong stared at the ten barriers as he mused to himself.
In the original work, Ji Ning had encountered nine layers of barriers. The ninth layer represented the insights of a master-class World God, while the tenth layer would definitely be even more powerful. If one surpassed a master-class World God, wouldn't that mean one had to be a Daolord?
"Pass through all ten layers of barriers and you'll be able to acquire the treasures!" A voice rang out by Zhou Tong's ears.
"These are barriers of the Dao of Lightning. If they were barriers of the Dao of Fire, I might have a chance. But given my current insights into the Dao of Lightning, there's no way I'll be able to break through them." Zhou Tong sighed slightly to himself. Still, he wanted to test out his insights into the Dao of Lightning and see how many barriers he could break through.
Zhou Tong stretched out his hand, pressing it against the first barrier of light. As he poured his chaos immortal energy into it, he slowly began to understand the mysteries of this barrier. He pressed down with just a bit of force, causing the barrier to instantly shatter, leaving behind only the final nine barriers.
Zhou Tong continued to break through the second barrier. The second barrier was clearly much more difficult, but it still wasn't too difficult for Zhou Tong to break through.
He continued to break through the barriers, finally coming to a halt at the ninth barrier.
"The first eight barriers are my current limit. Only a cultivator who has reached the World level in the Dao of Lightning will be able to break through the ninth barrier." Zhou Tong shook his head.
Once Zhou Tong gave up, the barriers which had been broken through earlier began to reappear once more.
"If ordinary methods are useless, then I'll have to break through with raw power!" Zhou Tong couldn't be bothered to waste any more time on probing. He immediately activated his divine power …
Rumble …
A dazzling explosion of fiery light. Zhou Tong had already struck out with his fist. His fist smashed heavily against the ten barriers, causing a series of cracking sounds to ring out. Amidst the dazzling explosion of fiery light, the first nine barriers were instantly shattered. And then, his fist slammed against the tenth barrier.
The tenth layer of restrictions rippled like water, stably resisting Zhou Tong's strike.
However …
Rumble …
A dazzling light flashed once more. Zhou Tong's fist was able to unleash a second burst of power, building upon the foundation of the first burst. This time, the power of this second burst was absolutely apocalyptic.
Crunch!
A clear, crisp sound rang out. The ten barriers which were capable of stopping even Daolords were shattered by Zhou Tong's second burst of power.
At this moment, all that remained in front of Zhou Tong was the globe of light which contained the treasures.
In other words, it was the last of the treasures in this treasure trove.
