It was too dim in the palace, so Rocky used his spiritual power to produce a flame to illuminate his
path. However, what he saw was just endless darkness. Soon enough, the flame in his hand was
extinguished. After that, he tried to produce a flame several more times, but the result was just the
same.
"This is a strange place indeed! I have to be careful!" Rocky could not help but mutter to himself. He
gave up on producing a flame and moved forward in the darkness.
After he struggled in the darkness for a while, his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness. He could
already vaguely see his surroundings. Of course, it was only a very vague outline, but it was better than
seeing nothing.
Looking around carefully, Rocky felt that he must be in a passageway because there were blurry
shadows of pillars on both of his sides. He also noticed that the passageway seemed to extend
downwards towards the underground. Although it was a gentle slope, he could still feel that he was
being pulled by gravity.
About an hour later, Rocky finally saw a vague icy blue light shining not too far from him. The light
looked like it was coming from an ice lamp. He immediately quickened his pace.
After a short while, his eyes grew wide as soon as he saw the shocking scene that appeared in front of
him. There were many buildings made of huge and transparent ice blocks in front of him. They seemed
endless in his point of view, just like an underground ice kingdom. It was obvious that some clan had
lived here before, but it probably was not the Snow Master Clan. From what Cyrus had said before, it
seemed that most members of the Snow Master Clan did not know this place's existence. Even if they
knew, they must have been very afraid of this place just like Cyrus.
'What in the world is this place?' Rocky thought in surprise.
He looked around at the endless underground ice kingdom. The more he looked at it, the more he
dared not to be careless even though the place looked very calm. Based on his experience, a place like
this might be a forbidden place.
Rocky summoned Ken and Uriah for additional protection. As soon as they were out, the three beasts
surrounded Rocky immediately.
"Ken, I’m counting on you now." The nine colored pearls were spiritual treasures with strong spiritual
energy, and Ken could easily sense anything that had spiritual energy. So, the hunt for the seventh
colored pearl would heavily depend on Ken.
Ken raised its head proudly and let out a loud roar. It slowly looked around, then suddenly ran. Rocky
and Uriah followed it closely.
However, Rocky suddenly felt a few strong auras after only a short while. The auras he felt were like
the auras of supernatural beasts. However, he did not see any supernatural beasts anywhere, but he
could tell that those auras were very close to him.
"Wait, could it be..." Rocky's face froze instantly, and he ordered Ken to stop.
The crystal deer horns on the top of Ken's head immediately emitted a strong spiritual light which
illuminated the entire area. In an instant, several ghost-like beast shadows appeared.
"They are indeed Soul-shadow Beasts. I did not expect that there are also rare Soul-shadow Beasts
here. These must be Shadow Beasts..." Rocky immediately recognized several Soul-shadow Beasts
and became extremely vigilant. The Soul-shadow Beasts had no physical body. It was difficult to deal
with or destroy them since they appeared and disappeared mysteriously.
Back then, Rocky had encountered a few Shadow Beasts in the Myriad Spirit Tomb. However,
compared to those beasts, the ones in front of him were obviously stronger. Their strength was almost
close to the Divine Stage.
Seeing the several Shadow Beasts approaching, Rocky thought for a moment. Then, he and his three
beasts decisively took on the beasts to break the encirclement. Even though the strength of these
Shadow Beasts was close to the Divine Stage, it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with them if Rocky and the
three beasts worked together. Considering their overall situation in this dangerous place, he still felt
that he should avoid them as much as possible.
With the strength of Rocky and the three beasts, these shadow beasts could not stop them. Soon
enough, Rocky and his beasts broke through, and then went straight into the heart of the underground
ice kingdom.
However, the Shadow Beasts were still aggressively chasing after them.
As soon as Rocky realized that the several Shadow Beasts were still pursuing them, his eyes turned
seriously cold. Just when he was considering whether he should kill these Shadow Beasts to avoid
being endangered and ensure that his search for the seventh colored pearl would not be affected, the
deafening shout he had heard before suddenly rang out again. This time, Rocky felt that his spiritual
power was surging all over his body because of the vibration caused by the shout. The spiritual power
coursing through his body was difficult to suppress.
"Who the hell shouted? It must be an immensely powerful being!" Rocky could not help but look
horrified. The one who could cause such a stir like this must be at least an ancient spiritual beast.
However, if there were ancient spiritual beasts in this place, it only meant that this place was probably
extremely dangerous, just like the Heavenly God Temple.
When Rocky came back to his senses, he suddenly noticed that the several Shadow Beasts that were
chasing him had suddenly disappeared, as if they had been frightened away by the roar they heard just
now.
Rocky was relieved since it saved him the trouble to deal with them. So, he and the three beasts
continued to look for the colored pearl in the underground ice kingdom.
However, after wandering in the underground for a long time, he did not find any clue. With Ken leading
the way, he instead found a lot of low-grade and middle-grade treasures, as well as some natural
spiritual flowers and herbs.
"Isn't the seventh colored pearl hidden somewhere here?" Rocky could not help speculating, but the
place indicated on the map was right here. Was it another false clue again?
Just as Rocky was trying to find other clues, an immensely powerful aura suddenly swept over.
Rocky looked up and saw a huge soul shadow appearing in the air. Its body was completely
transparent and only the outline could be faintly seen. Its body was the same as that of a dragon beast,
but its six heads were long and pointed like a Lion Eagle. Its huge eagle eyes stared at him as if he
was its prey. In an instant, a strong oppressive strength came over him.
"What? A Soul Beast?" Rocky's face turned pale when he saw this. This was the second time he had
ever seen a Soul Beast after the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast. Compared with the Dragon-shaped Soul
Beast, the aura of this Soul Beast was far stronger. Its aura was somehow equivalent to that of a
spiritual master or a human at the Immortal Stage.
However, the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast's strength had been very weak when Rocky saw it. If the
Dragon-shaped Soul Beast was in its best condition, the Soul Beast in front of him was no match at all.
If it was only one Soul Beast, then it would be easy to deal with it. The worst thing was that at this
moment, more than a dozen Shadow Beasts suddenly appeared in the sky and instantly surrounded
Rocky and the three beasts on the ground...
