Feeling the spiritual power within him surge and even improve, Long Haochen took flight once more, continuing his descent.

Darkness and chilling cold easily inspire fear, but under the radiance of his own light, Long Haochen appeared exceptionally calm. This time, his descent didn’t last too long. After about another quarter of an hour, a layer of hazy light caught his attention. The cave had finally bottomed out.

The previously wide fissure suddenly narrowed. As Long Haochen’s feet landed on solid ground, he faintly saw a gray halo in the diagonal front.

Although this gray light was weak, it was as conspicuous as a lighthouse in this pitch-black cave.

With his left hand holding his shield and his right his sword, and wearing the complete Holy Spirit Set, Long Haochen cautiously cast a Holy Light Shield skill with a ripple of light on himself before walking towards the direction of the gray halo.

“Woo… woo…” faint, low howls sounded continuously, as if they were a prelude to the terrifying wails within the Cave of Fearful Howls.

After traveling about three hundred meters, the gray color in front became particularly noticeable. Turning a corner, the gray light suddenly intensified. The sudden burst of gray-white light even caused slight discomfort in Long Haochen’s vision. However, the next moment, his beautiful golden eyes couldn’t help but be filled with shock. He took a step back almost instinctively, raising his shield in the standard defensive posture of a Guardian Knight.

This scene was truly shocking. No matter how many guesses Long Haochen had made about the Cave of Fearful Howls, when reality truly approached, all his speculations became floating clouds.

Several hundred meters ahead of where he stood was an extremely open space. A huge cone-shaped cave was perfectly displayed there. The stone walls of the cave were as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a faint gray light, giving people a sense of unrealness that was both dead and dreamlike. The entire cave was over one hundred and fifty meters high. Long Haochen, who appeared at the entrance of the fissure, looked like a tiny insect compared to this enormous cave.

This wasn’t the most shocking part. What truly made Long Haochen incredulous was that he actually saw a tower in this place at least three thousand meters underground.

That’s right, it was a tower, a seven-story tower, with a total height of over a hundred meters. It was ancient in style, with seven stories, four sides, and eight directions, emitting an intense gray halo, a gray-white tower filled with deadness and terrifying spiritual power fluctuations.

This tower was in the very center of the cone-shaped cave, occupying most of its area. Layers of gray halos constantly spread out from the tower. That powerful spiritual power fluctuation made Long Haochen, as the Child of Light, feel a tremor from the depths of his heart.

A being of terrifying power – that was his first impression and judgment of this tower.

Around the tower, countless gray-white shadows swirled, rushing towards the tower like moths to a flame, densely adhering to the outer layer of gray-white energy emitted by the tower.

Just then, suddenly, a terrifying wail burst out without warning. The clusters of gray-white energy attached to the tower also erupted, scattering in all directions.

The terrifying soundwave vibration was at least three times stronger than what Long Haochen had heard the last time, causing the Holy Light Shield around his body to collapse instantly, forcing him to release another one in the shortest amount of time and to do his best to increase the frequency of the Light Ripple.

Even so, the Holy Light Shield released by Long Haochen was still collapsing at an alarming rate.

Fortunately, the Holy Light Shield was only a third-tier spell. Long Haochen released one after another, barely able to support himself in this terrifying wailing sound.

A look of horror couldn’t help but appear on his face, because he was shocked to discover that those clusters of gray-white light were filled with intense soul fluctuations, and that terrifying wail was derived from the howls of their souls.

What kind of existence is this? What exactly is this tower?

Although Long Haochen’s heart was full of questions, at this time he didn’t dare to think too much. He could only concentrate on resisting this unprecedented terrifying wail. Long Haochen could be sure that if he hadn’t comprehended the Light Ripple, he probably wouldn’t be able to last even a minute here before being torn apart by this terrifying soundwave. To withstand this wail, under normal circumstances, one would probably need a seventh-tier cultivation.

This wail felt particularly long to Long Haochen. When the wailing finally stopped, Long Haochen was horrified to find that more than half of his spiritual power had disappeared.

As the leader of the Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen’s first judgment was that this mission was definitely not something that the two Demon Hunt Squads could complete.

Exploring the Cave of Fearful Howls naturally included exploring the interior of this mysterious tower. But, with their cultivation, could they explore inside?

To be able to build such a tower in this deep underground, what kind of existence would be required to do so? Even if it wasn’t as powerful as the Demon God Emperor, it would at least have to be a ninth-tier powerhouse.

He absolutely couldn’t let his partners come here. Among the other twelve people, perhaps only Cai’er might be able to withstand the wailing here, but the others would definitely not be able to survive in this terrifying soundwave vibration.

Retreat just like that? Long Haochen was truly unwilling. He had finally come here, would he just retreat like this? No, no matter what, he had to take a look inside this tower.

Taking a deep breath, Long Haochen mobilized the Holy Invocation Furnace to recover his spiritual power while feeling the connection of his blood pact with Haoyue.

The connection was still close and without any problems. Yes! Even when Haoyue was in another plane, he could connect with it through the blood pact. Now, it was just a matter of distance.

When Long Haochen looked up at the tower again, he found that the soul energies suspended in the cone-shaped cave were completely scattered throughout the space and were slowly approaching the tower.

Judging from the looks of it, they would eventually stick to the tower, just like before. Then, the wailing sound would appear again, continuously repeating this process.

Cautiously, Long Haochen took a few steps forward. He couldn’t be sure whether these gray-white souls suspended in the air would be harmful to him, so he had to be careful.

To his dismay, the answer was yes.

As soon as Long Haochen took his first step into the cone-shaped cave, more than a dozen clusters of soul energy near him discovered his existence and rushed towards him frantically without hesitation.

As they got closer, Long Haochen could see that each of the clusters of gray-white soul energy had a hideous face. Although they were condensed from soul energy, they appeared even more vicious.

The first wraith crashed fiercely into Long Haochen’s Holy Light Shield. Long Haochen had already prepared himself. Soul energy was also a manifestation of energy, and these wraiths full of death aura should be somewhat restrained by his light attribute, so he wasn’t too worried.

However, when the wraith truly collided with the Holy Light Shield, Long Haochen was greatly shocked.

Boom – the Holy Light Shield exploded instantly. Long Haochen felt as if he had been hit with a heavy hammer in his brain. A terrifying energy full of death and coldness actually drilled directly towards the depths of his soul, as if it was trying to seize his body. The evil, cold soul energy was exceptionally powerful, causing a brief blankness to appear in Long Haochen’s mind under its impact. Even the light elemental spirit, Yating, was firmly suppressed within Long Haochen’s body. Faced with these powerful wraiths, she could only tremble.

His brain was blank, preventing Long Haochen from having the ability to contact Haoyue for teleportation. The power of this wraith was truly terrifying. It was only one of hundreds or thousands of wraiths, but this seemingly insignificant little wraith made Long Haochen not even have the chance to escape.

Just at this critical moment, suddenly, a hint of purple appeared in Long Haochen’s eyes. The nine purple light patterns on his forehead appeared again.

A layer of hazy purple light rippled from Long Haochen’s body. Whether it was the wraith that first collided with Long Haochen or the dozen or so wraiths that followed, they all let out a miserable scream under the impact of this purple light, fleeing as if their lives depended on it.

Purple light was projected in front of Long Haochen, and Haoyue’s huge body emerged, blocking Long Haochen behind him. The dense purple was constantly spreading out from its body, and the three heads and six eyes of Xiao Guang, Xiao Huo, and Xiao Qing all turned purple.

The previously incomparably powerful wraiths, which Long Haochen was unable to resist, seemed to be extremely afraid of the purple halo released by Haoyue. In a series of screams, they all fled away at the fastest speed. Even the wraiths at a slightly further distance didn’t dare to rush forward anymore.

Long Haochen had seen this kind of purple released by Haoyue more than once, but only this time was his feeling the clearest.

The power of the soul, that belonged to the power of Haoyue’s soul. Seeing that those wraiths didn’t dare to come forward, Long Haochen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just now, he really felt like his body was about to be deprived.

Haoyue and Long Haochen were in sync. Guided by it, Long Haochen’s figure flashed and landed on Haoyue’s back. Being with it gave Long Haochen a sense of security.

“Haoyue, let’s go back.” Long Haochen glanced unwillingly at the huge gray-white tower.

Haoyue’s three heads turned to look at Long Haochen. Long Haochen was surprised to find that there was a glimmer of excitement in their purple eyes.

The three heads shook their heads at Long Haochen at the same time. Haoyue’s thoughts came, telling Long Haochen that there would be no danger here for the time being. Although the crisis within the tower would exist, it wouldn’t directly erupt. They could still cope with it for the time being, suggesting that Long Haochen enter the first floor of the tower to take a look.
