Chapter 2016 - 15: Nine-story Demon Tower

Lin Feng and Yue’er looked below with uncertainty.

An anomaly in the Dragon Vein had created a deep passage leading to the underground.

What unimaginable things lay in the underground depths?

Lin Feng couldn’t help but take a deep breath, sensing that a startling change had occurred below.

"Yue’er, wait outside for me, I’ll go down and take a look!" Lin Feng said.

He planned to explore the depths alone, as everything below was unknown.

Therefore, it could be very dangerous down there.

Not taking Yue’er.

Was the best choice.

...

But Yue’er said, "Senior brother, I’m coming with you. If there is any danger, it’ll be good to have someone to support each other."

Lin Feng initially intended to refuse, but seeing the seriousness reflected in Yue’er’s innocent eyes, he could only nod.

"Be very careful later!"

Lin Feng said.

"Hmm!" Yue’er nodded.

Lin Feng and Yue’er cautiously entered the icy cavern.

The unicorn was left outside by Yue’er.

The passage of the icy cavern was deep, and as they continued deeper, it became colder and colder.

They walked for 15 minutes and still hadn’t reached the bottom.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but wonder, "Aren’t we in the Ice Plateau World? We’ve walked for so long without seeing seawater. Is this ice layer really that thick?"

Yue’er replied, "Due to some climate and geographical factors, the ice plateau’s ice layer in many places is often tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of meters deep!"

Lin Feng nodded, and the two continued to walk downwards.

Rustle rustle rustle...

Suddenly.

Lin Feng heard a faint sound coming from deep within the icy cavern.

It seemed that something was rapidly surging up from the depths of the icy cavern.

"Something’s coming up, be careful!" Lin Feng warned.

Yue’er nodded, her expression somewhat tense.

Soon, they saw what was coming up.

It was thumb-sized ice worms.

These ice worms were entirely snow-white, resembling spiders, covering the sky.

"That’s the South Pole Ice Worm Group. They’re terrifying, capable of devouring even the Giant God. Senior brother, we need to leave quickly. If we’re engulfed by them, there’s only a path to death."

Yue’er recognized the swarm of ice worms, her pretty face turning pale as paper.

Running away like this, Lin Feng naturally wouldn’t be willing to.

He summoned four kinds of Heavenly Fire.

Purple Flame Earth Core Fire, Black Flame Burning Divine Fire, Hell Netherworld Fire, Golden Dragon Divine Flame—all four Great Heavenly Fires flew out.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The four Great Heavenly Fires burned fiercely, enveloping the South Pole Ice Worm Group.

Fire overcomes ice.

The South Pole ice worms are cold by nature, a type of spiritual ice attribute.

They were restrained by Heavenly Fire.

However, these South Pole ice worms were extremely formidable.

Although harmed by the Heavenly Fire, the fire didn’t kill them.

The dense swarm of South Pole ice worms voluntarily avoided Lin Feng and Yue’er.

They seemed to sense Lin Feng was formidable and chose not to provoke him.

Soon, the swarm quickly departed, rushing out of the icy cavern.

Seeing the South Pole Ice Worm Group leave, Lin Feng and Yue’er couldn’t help but let out a breath of relief.

"Is this Heavenly Fire?" Yue’er asked curiously.

Lin Feng nodded.

Yue’er said, "I’ve heard Heavenly Fire is precious and rare nowadays. It’s incredible that senior brother has refined four Heavenly Fires!"

Lin Feng chuckled, "Received through coincidences!"

He put the Heavenly Fire away.

Then he continued downwards with Yue’er.

The icy cavern was far deeper than Lin Feng and Yue’er had imagined as they kept descending.

An icy cold aura seeped into Lin Feng and Yue’er.

Their bodies involuntarily shivered slightly.

This icy aura was not due to temperature coldness.

But a strange power.

A chilling force.

Even with mana protecting their bodies, this cold energy permeated.

Lin Feng furrowed his brows.

He sensed a dangerous aura.

Yue’er said, "Senior brother, I feel anxious, as though something’s watching us covertly."

Yue’er, too, harbored secrets.

She was quite exceptional.

For Yue’er to feel such a sensation.

Lin Feng considered it unlikely to be baseless.

Perhaps as he speculated, below the icy cavern, unknown dangers lurked, though what they were was yet unclear.

Lin Feng did not plan to retreat.

Danger and opportunity often coexist.

Below may be fraught with perils.

But there might unexpectedly be opportunities.

Lin Feng said, "We must be ready to flee at any moment, understood?"

Yue’er nodded.

They continued deeper.

Finally, they saw the exit of the icy cavern.

Below emerged an enormous world beneath the ice.

The two entered the icy world from the cavern.

This ice world seemed as if opened by someone, creating a vast space.

"Array pattern...".

Lin Feng knitted his brows slightly.

The walls of the icy world were thick with array patterns, indicating it wasn’t naturally formed but artificially carved.

The area of the icy world was massive; a cold aura made Lin Feng and Yue’er shiver.

They advanced into the icy world’s depths.

"Bones...".

Yue’er’s voice trembled slightly; there were remains underground, unknown when the people died. Usually, corpses in such cold places don’t decay, but now, only bones were left, likely devoured by the South Pole ice worms seen earlier.

As they progressed, they saw more remains, not knowing if these were cultivators who explored the icy world.

Lin Feng speculated it was very likely.

Ultimately.

Lin Feng and Yue’er reached the deepest part of the icy world.

They were shocked to see a massive tower emerge from the depths.

The gigantic tower stood a hundred meters tall, seemingly made of mysterious bronze.

But now, ice encased the tower.

The ice had frozen the entire tower.

"Senior brother, look at that spot...".

Yue’er pointed to above the main gate of the tower, where three corpses were hanging.

These three bodies were well-preserved.

Having died ages past, they hadn’t decayed.

Lin Feng was taken aback by the sight; the three deceased women were all outstanding beauties.

"What a waste, such beautiful women hung till death here!"

Upon seeing the three lovely women’s corpses, Lin Feng couldn’t help but inwardly lament.

"Senior brother, why are three women hanged outside the tower?" Yue’er asked, puzzled.

Lin Feng shook his head; the frozen tower seemed exceedingly eerie.

He couldn’t discern the tower’s origins.

"That’s the Nine-story Demon Tower...".

The Demon Monarch’s voice echoed faintly.
