Chapter 116: Akhtov's Relics

Seven or eight days later.

Through cultivation while observing his surroundings,

Gunie had gained considerable understanding of the Core Land.

First, most of the time, the vast majority of the powerful beings in the Core Land were in a state of secluded cultivation.

However, occasionally some battles would break out.

These battles generally occurred in the open areas outside, not within the passages.

After all, if you were defeated in an open area, you could still escape.

But once trapped in a passage area, there was basically no chance of survival.

Moreover, in the passage areas, people from the same faction would gang up on you, leading to an even quicker death.

However, there were many passages here. If you misidentified one and accidentally entered a passage belonging to another faction or a small demigod team, you'd have to consider yourself unlucky.

At the same time, the power levels involved in these battles were at the Fourth Realm and Demigod level.

No gods participated.

This also reassured Gunie considerably.

At least this power range was still within his reach.

All things considered,

Gunie was relatively safe in this passage.

But once he left the passage and entered the vast open area,

with his Saint Fourth Realm cultivation,

he would look like an easy target to bully.

Therefore, Gunie had to ensure he remained sufficiently hidden, preferably sneaking into the place where the adventure was to be obtained.

If he was spotted, at best it would lead to a big battle.

At worst, he wouldn't be able to get the good stuff.

Thus, Gunie had to make sure he wasn't discovered.

Inside the passage.

Gunie cast a secret curse invisibility spell on himself, then unleashed his Dark Essence, merging his entire being into the darkness.

Entering a silent, stealthy state, Gunie silently followed the seal at the passage exit into the passage.

At that moment, the passage was silent, with not even any noise coming from the open area outside.

After observing the surroundings and confirming that no one had noticed or targeted him, Gunie flew along the passage toward the vast area outside.

Arriving in the vast area, Gunie directly followed the rock wall down into the abandoned city building area below.

Then he proceeded toward the area indicated by the system.

A dozen minutes later, Gunie entered a tunnel entrance about forty to fifty meters in diameter, where the World Origin Force was dim and sparse.

Feeling the state of this area, Gunie breathed a sigh of relief.

The World Origin being dim and sparse meant that few people were likely to come here.

This greatly increased the probability of Gunie quietly obtaining the adventure treasure.

Then, Gunie leaped and flew into the tunnel.

After Gunie entered the depths of the cave and disappeared,

the space beside him rippled slightly like water waves.

A figure shrouded in darkness gently emerged.

After staring at the spot where Gunie had disappeared, the figure leaped into the depths of the tunnel, simultaneously vanishing into the depths of space.

Moving forward, Gunie was cautious.

At the same time, he followed the system's guidance.

Gunie did not move quickly.

Along the way, he continuously passed through one rugged tunnel after another.

Earlier, Gunie had noticed that the Core Land was quite rugged and vast.

Now, as he went deeper, he found that the core area was far larger than he had imagined.

But compared to the core abandoned ruins, these remote areas had thinner World Origin Force, so Gunie didn't see anyone cultivating here as he walked.

As he went deeper, Gunie became more at ease.

This place was already far from the Core Land.

About a dozen minutes later,

passing through a narrow passage, the view suddenly opened up.

At the same time, he could hear the sound of flowing water.

Gunie's gaze lightly swept around, briefly passing over a peculiar door in the corner without stopping.

Then Gunie began to construct his Magic Annihilation Corrosive Blades.

In a moment, a full ten 'Magic Annihilation Mother Corrosive Blades' were constructed by Gunie.

'Sir, you've been following me for so long. Do you really think I haven't noticed you at all?'

Gunie's voice, cold and murderous, echoed through the surrounding space.

'Heh heh...'

A dry, raspy laugh sounded.

At the same time, a figure shrouded in a dark curtain drifted out from the depths of space.

'I'm just a bit curious. What is this friend sneaking over here for?'

'What I want to do is none of your business, is it?'

Gunie's voice was flat, devoid of any emotion.

'What you do is naturally none of my business. But since you've rashly passed through my area, heh heh... don't blame me for being rude.'

The dark figure laughed sinisterly.

'If you want to kill and rob, just say it directly. No need for such high-sounding excuses.'

If the other party were a demigod, Gunie might have some scruples, but this person was only a Fourth Realm Ancestral Spirit.

With such strength, Gunie didn't take him seriously.

Just as Gunie didn't take the other party seriously,

Adolf also completely disregarded this mere Saint Fourth Realm transcendent.

Both at the Fourth Realm, an Ancestral Spirit with divine power completely overpowered a Saint.

Silently, three dark tentacles suddenly emerged from space, winding toward Gunie.

Gunie's azure-blue Wind Spirit Wings flashed behind him, dodging the sneak attack of the dark tentacles.

Three Magic Annihilation Mother Corrosive Blades swept toward Adolf.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the Magic Annihilation Mother Corrosive Blades exploded,

the dark curtain in front of Adolf was torn apart. As the dark curtain scattered, Adolf let out a low, muffled groan.

'This guy is only at the Saint realm, but his curse attacks are so terrifying.'

A flicker of surprise emerged deep in Adolf's eyes.

'My dark curtain was painstakingly constructed with divine power for defense, yet it was directly torn apart by this curse.'

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Another three Magic Annihilation Mother Corrosive Blades swept over.

Adolf, relying on his demigod artifact defense, dared not be careless this time.

Darkness swept in.

The three Magic Annihilation Corrosive Blades pierced through, but Adolf had already disappeared.

At the same time, the three tentacles continued to extend, slashing down at Gunie.

Each strike contained immense power, stirring the surrounding source force into turbulence.

The moment Adolf disappeared,

'Hum!'

A wave of Space Essence radiated from Gunie, spreading outward.

This mysterious dark elementalist with strange dark powers had unusual methods.

Gunie dared not underestimate him and quickly unleashed his World Essence to locate Adolf.

Just then,

Whoosh~

An incredibly fast giant dark war spear descended from above.

Its momentum was so swift.

Gunie was about to dodge away from this spot when his expression slightly凝.

Unbeknownst to him, a powerful dark confinement had already locked onto Gunie.

Before he could make any further move,

'Boom!'

The giant dark war spear arrived, directly crashing into Gunie.

Under the impact of the giant dark war spear, Gunie was forcibly driven into the underground rock.

Then, an extremely dense dark violence erupted.

'Boom!'

An indescribable roar suddenly exploded.

And Gunie was right at the center of the explosion.
