The Demon Kingdom that appeared before them did not match Zhang Yi's impression of a secret realm at all.

Just as he was starting to think he might have been tricked by Pagyi Gesang, something appeared in the footage transmitted back by the drone that instantly made everyone tense up!

The drone flew forward and finally captured the center of the city.

And right in the very middle of the entire city stood a pyramid reaching a thousand meters high!

It was too tall, simply like a giant mountain!

Even relative to the height of the Demon Kingdom's people, a tower of this scale still appeared exceptionally massive.

It stood right in the center of the entire ancient city, as if the whole ancient city was built around this pyramid.

This pyramid was completely different from any Zhang Yi had seen before, layered and stacked, as if built one level upon another.

The entire tower was crimson red, as if poured from blood.

"Nine-Story Demon Tower!"

Chodak suddenly shouted with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi suddenly remembered that in the Snowy Plateau Region, there is a special type of tomb mound called the Nine-Story Demon Tower, also known as the Nine-Story Demon Pagoda.

In this world, most stacked structures are wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. Because of its massive size, Zhang Yi had mistaken it for a pyramid.

"You're saying the center of the entire ancient city is a tomb?" Liang Yue asked.

Chodak said, "In ancient times, these Nine-Story Demon Towers were all tombs of kings."

The moment Zhang Yi saw it, his mind cleared considerably.

"If there really is a so-called Demon Kingdom treasure, I think it's highly likely to be right here."

He had a feeling that this Nine-Story Demon Tower was similar to the giant purple pyramid beneath the Qinling Abyss.

Not only he saw it, but people from other factions also saw this enormous Nine-Story Demon Tower.

Deji was so excited his voice trembled.

"Finally found it, this is it!"

The camera zoomed in. Zhang Yi and the others saw the area around the Nine-Story Demon Tower, and the scene sent chills down their spines, for it truly resembled a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Countless bodies were hung around the tower. There were corpses already rotted into skeletons, and there were fresh corpses.

Human, pig, dog, cow, sheep... layers upon layers of sacrificial offerings were piled up. It was impossible to tell how many years had passed or how many lives had been paid to build this eerie demon tower.

And around the demon tower at that moment, on the vast open ground, countless subjects of the Demon Kingdom knelt on the ground, kowtowing in worship.

Just then, the Lord of the Charnel Ground stood up. His gaze calmly swept over the crowd.

"Everyone, the remnants of the Demon Kingdom lie ahead. This mission must achieve total victory in one battle, completely eradicate the Demon Kingdom remnants, and remove the thorn that has been lodged in the hearts of the Snowy Region's people for a thousand years."

He reached out and pointed into the distance toward that massive ancient city, his finger aimed at the direction of the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

"And within that demon tower lies the treasure of the Demon Kingdom."

The latter half of the sentence was clearly meant for Zhang Yi and the other foreign superhumans.

Everyone knew full well that the Lord of the Charnel Ground's goal was to make them exert their strength to eliminate the Demon Kingdom, but they had come here precisely for the Demon Kingdom's treasure. Therefore, even knowing it was a ploy, they would still act.

After all, judging by the importance the Demon Kingdom's subjects placed on the Nine-Story Demon Tower, unless they killed them all, the other side would never let them take what was inside.

Zhang Yi also narrowed his eyes and said to his companions, "When the time comes, everyone will be eyeing the things inside that Nine-Story Demon Tower. The fighting will be fierce. Moreover, we first have to deal with the Demonic People here."

"Old You, Fatty Xu, you two must not leave my side. When the time comes, follow Hua Hua and support it."

Currently, Old You and Fatty Xu only had 8000+ strength, deputy squad leader level. Placed here, they could be considered minor experts.

However, there were several Epsilon-level individuals present. Their strength simply couldn't allow them to participate in the battle for the demon tower.

Old You and Fatty Xu nodded very cautiously, while also feeling somewhat ashamed inside.

Although their strength improvement speed wasn't slow, they simply couldn't participate in Zhang Yi's frontal battles.

For the first time, they felt a strong sense of frustration.

In Zhang Yi's squad, when a real fight broke out, only Hua Hua and Liang Yue could help a bit, and even that was limited to restraining other, stronger Delta-level superhumans.

Soon, the Allied Forces' fleet approached the shore of the Sea of Blood.

The Sea of Blood was the Demon Kingdom's dumping ground for corpses. It had accumulated a thousand years' worth of bodies, and naturally, a thousand years' worth of corpse poison. Therefore, the surrounding vast areas were completely uninhabited, with not even grass or trees able to grow.

But when swarms of ships surged forward like ants, they still alerted the people of the Demon Kingdom.

On the coast, there was a small wooden hut where an old man with dark, withered skin and eyes almost narrowed into slits lived.

That day, he was drinking tea at home. The water in his teacup was blood-red, but his expression was normal as he comfortably enjoyed the taste of the tea.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look out the window at the vast crimson sea. A fierce, sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Have the people from the other side of the door finally appeared?"

The old man stood up, picked up a huge spear from the wall beside him, and walked out of the house. Compared to the wooden hut, his size was quite normal.

But compared to the people approaching from the sea, he was an out-and-out giant.

Though he was aged, his skin full of wrinkles, and the hair on his head sparse with only a few strands left, his demon-god-like massive body and his awe-inspiring aura still brought the crowd an unprecedented sense of shock.

This was a giant nearly ten meters tall! Even taller than the largest corpse in the Sea of Blood!

"A Demonic Person, alive!"

A mercenary gulped, instinctively raising the large-caliber sniper rifle in his hands.

This anti-materiel sniper rifle had immense power, capable of piercing through armored vehicle steel plates.

"Kill him first, talk later!"

He pulled the trigger. The roar of the heavy sniper rifle echoed across the Sea of Blood.

After a puff of smoke and dust, the aged Demonic Person did not fall. He raised his left hand; the sniper rifle bullet was pinched between his two fingers.

"What?!!!"

Everyone was shocked. This terrifying level of physical strength was astounding.

One must know, even Liang Yue could dodge such a sniper rifle bullet, but she would absolutely never choose to withstand it with her body.

Let alone using just two fingers to pinch a bullet capable of piercing through an armored vehicle!

Zhang Yi looked at the old man, his gaze turning serious.

"An Epsilon from the Demon Kingdom?"

Judging from the physical attributes of the Demonic People, they possessed stronger genes than ordinary humans from the outside world, hence their larger size and more formidable physical prowess.

Probably precisely because of this, they chose to walk the primitive path of developing martial power.

A flash of excitement suddenly appeared in Zhang Yi's eyes.

"But that's not the reason they can produce Epsilons. I guessed right. The so-called treasure of the Demon Kingdom must be related to the Divine Source or sacrificial spirits!"
