Chapter 1,043 Breaking Through the Blockade
Huo Hai left without notifying anyone. So no one knew where Huo Hai was at this time. Even many people in the Haotu Empire suspected that Huo Hai had hidden himself.
If it weren't for the internal turmoil within the empire, the Haotu Empire would even be able to launch a search throughout the entire Black Lotus Territory. After completely breaking his skin, coupled with Huo Hai's strong strength and terrifying survivability, the Haotu Empire now wants to kill Huo Hai and then quickly kill him. The current Haotu Empire has no interest in arresting Huo Hai.
No, it wasn't that they were not interested, but they were sure that without special circumstances, they wouldn't be able to catch Huo Hai. Instead of letting Huo Hai continue to grow and threaten the Haotou Empire, it is better to kill him quickly now.
Speaking of which, the masters of the Great Land Empire who had always advocated capturing Huo Hai now regretted it.
Going west, Huo Hai looked at the map. There are also some records on the far west side. The west side of the Black Lotus Territory is actually a continuous stretch of high mountains. It is said that there are many powerful beasts on the mountain, as well as many unknown dangers. In a place like this, even masters at the Spiritual Emperor realm would not dare to go deep into it, otherwise they would easily lose their lives.
There are several intersections at the foot of the mountain, and this is the only way to leave the Molian Domain. Now the closest thing to me is just an intersection. As long as he passes through these intersections, the people in the Black Lotus Territory will have no way of tracking him.
But just as Huo Hai approached the intersection, he finally ran into a little trouble. "The damn vast empire actually set up a checkpoint here." Not far from the intersection ahead, there was a fortress that had been established for who knows how long.
From the look of the flags on the fortress, Huo Hai knew that this place belonged to the Great Land Empire. From a distance, Huo Hai could still feel a powerful aura in this fortress, which was the aura belonging to a fourth-level Spirit Emperor master.
After looking around, Huo Hai was completely helpless. This place had reached the high mountains to the west of the Black Lotus Domain, and was even at the same location as the intersection ahead. It's simply impossible to get around it. If he were in his prime, Huo Hai might still try to take risks. But the current situation has really penetrated into the surrounding mountains, and the consequences are unpredictable.
Huo Hai could clearly feel the frightening aura coming from the mountains on both sides from time to time. Moreover, this place is very strange. There seems to be a powerful force interfering with the blockade, making it impossible for people to travel freely.
If you exceed a certain height in the air, you will be struck by the power of heaven and earth. The same is true underground, Huo Hai just felt it. After a certain distance deep into the ground, it will also be crushed by the power of the earth.
Huo Hai's current strength is not yet able to directly face this terrifying force. It seemed that we could only force our way through the fortress from the front. "Damn the vast empire, I really don't know what methods you used to build a fortress here." This fortress is definitely not a front border defense fortress. This is a fortress built by the Haotu Empire itself.
The defensive fortresses at several intersections were either built by powerful forces around them, or they formed their own force. There is even a family that occupies a fortress alone. These are what Huo Hai has heard before, and he himself doesn't know it.
But this fortress was built by a huge organization around it, and it definitely didn't belong to the Great Land Empire. The Haotou Empire was able to build a fortress here again, and it cost a lot of money to think about it. What Huo Hai doesn't understand is what the Haotu Empire wants to do in establishing this fortress. If it is to deal with itself, it shouldn't be built so quickly.
"No matter, Xiaojin, Xiaodie, you two go in and take a look." Without Star Gu, the only ones Huo Hai can rely on now are these two spirit insects. The two spirit insects nodded, flapped their wings, and soon entered the fortress.
Huo Hai himself hid in the dark, secretly observing through the two spirit insects. With Xiaodie's ability to hide herself, even the Spirit Emperor wouldn't find it easily. In the last battle, Xiaodie and Xiaojin were not injured at all.
Soon, Huo Hai circled around inside. "It seems like these people don't know that I will leave from here." Huo Hai said to himself, because the people here are actually in a very relaxed state.
It's right to think about it. Even the Haotu Empire would never have thought that he would actually leave the Black Lotus Territory and go to the Heavenly Soul Territory. Going to the Heavenly Soul Realm is not a simple matter. Besides, there are more masters in the Heavenly Soul Realm, so it doesn't matter if your own strength is gone. The Haotu Empire has sent people to the Heavenly Soul Territory several times before, so they naturally know how strong the overall strength of the Heavenly Soul Territory is.
Seeing the people here relaxing, Huo Hai was a little curious as to what these people were doing. No matter, anyway, if you want to go to the Tianhun Domain, you must pass through this fortress. This is a necessary condition.
Huo Hai didn't believe that after he revealed his identity, the people of the Haotu Empire would let him pass. These fortresses are of great importance, and you need to identify yourself when coming and going. Moreover, apart from those delivering supplies, there are not many outsiders who usually come and go.
Huo Hai controlled Xiaodie and Xiaojin and secretly searched back and forth in the fortress. Sure enough, there were some special and unknown things in the spiritual array around the fortress, which made Huo Hai feel wary. These were all detection devices.
Under the investigation of these things, even Xiaodie and Xiaojin were almost discovered several times. "Do you have to force yourself to get through here? Forget it, just force yourself as long as you can get through." Huo Hai gritted his teeth and let Xiaodie and Xiaojin fly towards the position with the strongest aura. After a while, Huo Hai saw who the fourth-level spiritual emperor here was.
As expected, he was from the Haotu Empire. Although he was not a member of the royal family, the markings on his body were very distinct. This master is an old man with white beard and hair. He looks kind and kind-hearted, but also has a kind of majesty.
Huo Hai sighed: "I'm really sorry. In order for me to pass safely, it seems I have to sacrifice you."
Huo Hai apologized in his heart, and then Xiaodie launched an attack. Xiaodie's mental attack was extraordinary, this time she directly used Soul-Destroying Fire. Before the old man could react, he felt that his spirit seemed to be frozen.
He raised his hand with difficulty, but before he could sound the alarm, Xiao Jin rushed up and bit the old man. The terrifying poisonous fire spread, instantly spreading the powerful poison to the old man's body. When the old man's spirit was suppressed and his spiritual power could not be effectively mobilized, these poisonous fires could easily kill all the vitality in the old man's body.
The next moment, dark green flames emerged from the old man's body. Under the burning flames, the old man's entire body was quickly burned away. A fourth-level spiritual emperor died here silently, leaving nothing behind.
After the old man died, Huo Hai focused on the rear through Xiaodie's eyes. There is a special spiritual formation on the stone platform at the back. "Haha, this is the control spirit array of the fortress spirit array, right?"
Huo Hai observed it from a distance and was sure. Huo Hai's current understanding of the spiritual formation is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Although such a spiritual formation is a bit troublesome to set up, it is very simple to figure out how to use it. Without the old man causing trouble here, Huo Hai could easily study the entire control spirit array thoroughly.
"Very good, close this spiritual array." Huo Hai gave the order, and Xiaodie immediately followed the method given by Huo Hai, and her spiritual power leaked out of her body, cutting off several spiritual power routes of the spiritual array. Following Xiaodie's movements, the light of the spiritual array gradually dimmed.
On the surface, this fortress seems to have not changed much, but in fact, the spiritual array used for defense and exploration has disappeared without a trace. Huo Hai smiled slightly, flashed, and secretly entered the fortress from a corner.
Without the spirit exploration array, trying to find him just by relying on these ordinary patrols who didn't even have the spirit emperor realm was simply a dream. Huo Hai sneaked in secretly without causing any movement at all. By the time Huo Hai came to the other side of the fortress, Xiaodie and Xiaojin had already cleaned up the crime scene.
"Very good, restore the spiritual formation now, and then you can come out." Huo Hai quickly left the fortress and came to the other side. At this time, Xiaodie and Xiaojin also restored the spiritual formation again. Relying on his relatively small size and flexible movement.
Under Xiaodie's powerful perception ability, she secretly left the fortress without alerting anyone. By the time the Haotu Empire discovers that he has been here, he must have already entered the Heavenly Soul Realm, Huo Hai thought in his mind.
After taking back Xiaodie and Xiaojin, Huo Hai smiled with satisfaction: "Collect some interest now. When you come back next time, it won't be so enjoyable." Huo Hai sneered, then dressed in black robe, walked slowly forward.
After a while, Huo Hai finally saw the real guardian fortress. Looking from a distance, the entire fortress is at least a hundred meters high, and the huge fortress walls cover the sky and the sun. This is not so much a fortress as a special city. Even here at the intersection, there are a large number of people farming the land, and the entire fortress is completely self-sufficient.
The horrific scars on the city wall told Huo Hai that this fortress was not just a nice place to look at, but also had a very heavy task. After years of continuous construction, it can reach the scale it has today.
"Such a powerful spiritual formation, such hard materials. I really don't know how many horrific battles it took to leave such scars." Seeing this scene, even Huo Hai felt very surged and shocked.
"Who are you? Identify yourself immediately, otherwise we will attack." When Huo Hai came to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city looked at Huo Hai with vigilance. The soldiers here are completely different from those in the inland areas.
