After walking for about ten minutes, the group arrived at a downhill slope that stretched for hundreds of meters, with a height difference of about thirty to forty meters.


    “It looks like the relic is really underground!” Soul Chaser remarked as they reached the bottom of the slope.


    Looking ahead, they saw another downhill slope about dozens of meters away, simr to the one they just descended. Much to their dismay, they encountered several more slopes like this in the following sections. After thest slope, they estimated that they had descended at least four to five hundred meters.


    Just then, the dozen or so Demonic Beasts that had chased them earlier came charging towards them, stopping not far away and growling. There was a hint of fear in their eyes, probably intimidated by Billy’s previous sword aura.


    “Tsk tsk, there are several Seventh-tier Demonic Beasts! Not bad!” Stout’s eyes lit up.


    “Stout, you’re quite something!” Soul Chaser scornfully nced at him.


    “Even a fly is still meat!” Stout grinned and said, “Casey, I’ll leave those Seventh-tier Demonic Beasts to you!” After speaking, he rushed towards one of the Fourth-tier beasts.


    “Stout, take it easy!” Ian’s mouth twitched, and he followed suit with his saber.


    Soon after, Casey, Azure Dragon, and the others also joined the fray. Under the group’s siege, all the Demonic Beasts were defeated in less than two minutes. After Stout retrieved the beast cores, they continued their journey.


    After walking about two hundred meters, they finally finished traversing the winding passage. When they reached the exit, everyone couldn’t help but exim in astonishment. Before themy a vast space, two to three timesrger than Snowstorm Pavilion’s headquarters. The lighting inside was also abundant, not much different from the snowy ground outside. If Snowstorm Pavilion’s headquarters was like an underground mansion, this ce resembled a town, with hundreds of different types of buildings. However, most of the buildings were dpidated, with more than half of them partially orpletely copsed. The most eye-catching structure was a three-story wooden tower in the center of the town, each floor about seven to eight meters high. It was the tallest and most intact building remaining. Although the tower wasn’t very tall, it upied a considerable area, at least over ten thousand square meters.


    “Judging from these buildings, it seems like this ce has been buried for more than a hundred years, right?” Frostde surveyed the scene and spoke.


    “Indeed!” Night Orchid nodded in response. “But wasn’t it said that no humans had set foot in the Pr Domain a hundred years ago?”


    “The Pr Domain is probably much moreplex than we thought!” Ivy nodded with a pensive expression.


    “Amber, do you know anything about the Pr Snow Region?” Harleen asked.


    “Like you, this is my first time in the Pr Domain.” Amber shook her head and replied.


    “Boss, I feel that the oppressive aura here is stronger than the one emitted by the Ninth-tier python in the Ink Pool!” Casey said, looking at Billy.


    “Hmm!” Billy nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Everyone, be cautious!”


    He had also noticed what Frostde and the others mentioned. This small town existed for more than a hundred years, without a doubt. Billy recalled the words of Emperor Greenleaf and James Reynolds, who had told him that there were many truths about the Pr Domain yet to be uncovered.


    “It’s strange. Why haven’t we seen the Ninth-tier Demonic Beast that the Last Blood Sect Master mentioned?” ck Tortoise scanned the surroundings and asked, “Boss, can you sense the presence of a Ninth-tier Demonic Beast?”


    “Not at the moment!” Billy shook his head slightly.


    “Alright!” ck Tortoise clicked his tongue. “If we can’t find the Demonic Beast, we won’t know where the treasure is. We didn’te here for nothing, did we?”


    “Billy Boy, bring everyone with you. Let’s go take a look at that tower!” Amber spoke up after a moment of thought.


    “Okay.” Billy also had the same idea.


    Then, they headed towards the tower. Just as they had walked a short distance, the roar of a Demonic Beast resounded, deafening their ears.


    Judge and Soul Chaser, with their rtively lower cultivation, were shaken by the sound, causing their blood to surge. At the same time, a Demonic Beast with a height of seven to eight meters and a length of nearly twenty meters came charging from not far away. Its scales gleamed like iron armor. As it passed by, many ruins copsed one after another, raising arge amount of dust.


    “Damn! Is this the Ninth-tier Demonic Beast? It’s too damn big!” Bob eximed.


    “I’ll give it a try!” Azure Fang said in a deep voice, taking two steps forward and then activating his full strength to unleash a sharp de aura. The next moment, to everyone’s shock, the de aura was like striking against an imprable wall. Not to mention injuring the Demonic Beast, Azure Fang’s de couldn’t even break through its scales. It only managed to push it back a distance of about ten meters.


    The Demonic Beast roared again and then quickly charged towards Azure Fang like a small mountain, moving at an incredibly fast speed.


    “Azure Fang, get out of the way!” Casey’s voice rang out. Immediately, he activated the Bloodshadow de Technique and shot out a curved de aura.


    Casey’s current strength wasparable to a First-rank Saint, so dealing with a Ninth-tier Demonic Beast was no problem at all. After slicing through the scales, the de aura left a deep wound on the Demonic Beast, causing blood to spurt out. The beast howled in pain, changed its target, and charged towards Casey, its eyes turning crimson.


    “Casey, let me help you!” Harleen and Ivy both shouted and rushed forward.


    Although the Demonic Beast was strong, it had no chance of survival against thebined efforts of Casey and the others. After a series of sword and de strikes, the Demonic Beast’s body fell heavily to the ground, covered in wounds and blood, twitching for a few moments before going still.


    “Stout, it’s your turn!” Casey then looked at Stout and spoke.


    “Alright!” Stout replied and walked up with a curved de in hand. After rummaging around on the Demonic Beast’s body, he pulled out a beast core covered in blood.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    “Hey, that’s disgusting!” Felicia eximed.


    “Hey, Felicia, this is a good thing!” Stout grinned and wiped the beast core clean before putting it into a cloth bag.


    “Billy, something seems off!” Harleen spoke to Billy at this moment.


    “This Ninth-tier Demonic Beast has been killed, but the oppressive aura here hasn’t weakened at all!”


    “That’s because there’s an even more powerful beast inside!” Amber Barnes, who was nearby, replied with a slightly serious expression.


    “If my estimation is correct, it’s probably a Spiritual Beast of at least third tier!”
