Buzzz!
The instant Qin Hao stepped into Lingchang Palace, he was startled to discover that the World Power constantly spreading through his surroundings had turned into streaks of scarlet.
"Not good! There are restrictions inside the palace!"
Qin Hao's expression changed. Earlier, high in the sky, he had been able to sense patches of red through his World Power. Those red areas were restrictions, but even then, he had never sensed any scarlet areas.
Scarlet was a deeper shade than red, signifying that the restrictions here were stronger and far more terrifying. Had Qin Hao encountered restrictions like these outside, he would have kept his distance without hesitation.
While standing at the palace's main entrance, the heat waves, combined with the restrictions being inside the palace, had prevented Qin Hao from sensing its interior even with his World Power released.
The same had been true for Luan Bing and Duanmu Jie.
After entering the palace, Qin Hao had no time to react before he touched a restriction.
He had no time to check on Luan Bing, Duanmu Jie, Gu Fengchen, or the others. He only felt the world spinning as red light flashed constantly before his eyes.
An instant later...
Whoosh!
As though a mysterious force had forcibly shifted him from one space into another, Qin Hao abruptly appeared on a platform strewn with jagged rocks.
Whooo...
Waves of heat struck him head-on. They were far more intense than any Qin Hao had felt before, with temperatures at least a hundred times higher.
"What incredible heat."
Qin Hao was startled. Sweat instantly broke out all over his body. His strength was by no means weak, and ordinary temperatures had no effect on him whatsoever.
Even when standing at the palace entrance earlier, Qin Hao had merely felt hot without sweating
