After all, the possibility of facing two seventh-tier Demon Beasts had already been considered before their arrival.

However, the unexpected occurred very suddenly.

Just as the group was about to finish off the female King Snake, its screeches became ever more piercing, echoing in the vast hall and giving everyone an ominous premonition.

Then, suddenly, they heard a noise like a train roaring through the wind.

The Perceptive Card Master immediately warned, “Something’s coming from the nine o’clock direction!”

After saying that, as if he confirmed something else, he added gravely, “Be careful, everyone, that ‘thing’s’ life force is incredibly strong!”

Sophia Jones, of course, had also perceived it. She had already positioned herself in the nine o’clock direction ahead of everyone else.

By this time, the whooshing sound had become as thunderous as a flash flood.

Leonard Churchill caught a glimpse of the darkness in the nine o’clock direction, “So there really is another exit. But it leads underground?”

When he had first entered, he noticed that there was air circulation in the Underground Palace.

Normally, there would be a passage for the giant snakes to come and go.

But that wouldn’t be enough to cause a breeze to flow through the Underground Palace, which meant there had to be another opening in the hall.

But now that he discovered this opening led downward, a hint of confusion emerged in his thoughts.

However, before he could contemplate further, his confusion instantly turned into a heavy concern, “No, what’s with this overpowering pressure?”

Leonard felt that pressure and was shocked.

The pressure from the dying King Snake felt completely different.

It wasn’t just the oppressive air unique to Mythical Bloodlines, but also… Divine Power!

“Indeed, it’s Divine Power!”

Others might be still unfamiliar with this sensation, believing it to be something like Dragon’s Might, but having witnessed the descent of God’s consciousness multiple times, Leonard recognized the awe-inspiring pressure belonging to a higher-order Living Creature.

Could it be the Sun God’s consciousness descending upon this Divine Temple?

That was Leonard’s first thought.

If it was true, the situation was grim.

But it didn’t seem overwhelmingly powerful to the point of being utterly invincible; at least to Leonard, a “half-baked Demigod,” it seemed within reach.

Nearby, Sophia Jones had evidently also noticed the exceptionally strong aura, and her expression turned grave.

In an instant, the Illusion of Lady Valkyrie Hollace appeared behind her, enveloping her in a burst of golden light, and she unfolded her Domain right away.

Seeing their leader so poised for battle, the members of the Great Sword Group tensed up as well.

And the monster, charging out of the darkness, approached faster than imagined, just when their gaze had spotted “three points of light.”

In the blink of an eye, an enormous snake’s head brutally burst into everyone’s field of vision.

Another Spineback Dragon Python King!

But this one was nearly twice the size compared to the previous female snake.

“Huh… so this is the male snake after all.”

Seeing the monster’s true form, Leonard breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn’t some strange, mysterious entity.

But he was puzzled, “However, how could it have such immense pressure and size?”

The Classic Books clearly recorded that the previous female snake was the standard size for a seventh-tier creature.

But the one facing them now was nearly twice that size.

Its head was so thick it looked like a house, and those amber eyes burned fiercely like a fireplace.

And even more eerily, there was a glowing red crystal at the center of its forehead.

That was the third point of light they had seen in the dark.

“Has it mutated?”

Upon seeing the Crystal Core on the snake’s forehead, Leonard had a hunch.

That aura of Divine Power was clearly emanating from the Crystal Core.

All the Thornback Dragon Pythons in Blackwater Swamp fit the descriptions in the Classic Books, except for this one.

This wasn’t an issue with the books’ descriptions.

It could only mean that it had mutated.

“Why do I feel… it’s like a Titan Beast?”

For some reason, seeing this abnormal size reminded Leonard of the Titan Beasts encountered in the “Black Crow Fort’s” Alternate Dimension.

In his view, such mutations must have a cause.

However, such a mutation would be long-term, not only affecting a single creature.

Thus, Leonard immediately deduced that there was something strange in the cave from where the giant snake had come!

…

“War Secret Technique: Thousand Army Shield Formation!”

The moment Sophia Jones’ Domain unfolded, she stood alone in front of the cave’s entrance, and in an instant, countless golden shield illusions appeared before her.

Her strength was now among the top of the seventh tier, facing off against this mutated Lord without losing any momentum.

The enormous snake slammed into the shield formation and immediately faltered.

Seeing this, Leonard confirmed his assessment of the giant snake’s condition, reasoning, “Still a seventh tier… shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”

Judging from the aftermath of the clash of laws just then, the mutated giant snake had not broken through to the eighth tier, which was good news.

But before anyone could relax, Sophia’s expression suddenly became stern.

Seeing itself blocked by a human, the giant snake’s aura soared exponentially while around its body a bizarre Domain emerged, causing the very air to ripple uneasily.

Not only did Sophia face the threat head-on, but Leonard, from a distance, was also shocked, “A Domain? This creature knows how to use a Domain?”

It was true that some Demon Beasts had the ability to master the laws within a certain range, just like humans could with their Domains.

But no Classic Books had ever recorded a sighting of a Spineback Dragon Python capable of using a Domain!

Moreover, even if it had one, creatures known for their toxins usually wouldn’t awaken to Domains of different natures.
