"Be careful, there's a very peculiar creature in the spring ahead!"

Duan Gujin transmitted his voice to the Palace Master.

"Alright!"

The Palace Master was on high alert, her eyes fixed intently on the void in front of her.

After a while, they arrived at a conclusion that the Evil Dragon was merely bluffing; it did not launch an attack on them. They sensed a pair of eerie hands emerging from the spring water.

"What is that?"

Duan Gujin and the Palace Master's hearts skipped a beat, they didn't approach the spring but instead, used their Divine Sense to lock onto those eerie hands in the water.

"Could it be that the Demon King, who was supposed to be suppressed here, has actually escaped from this place long ago?"

Especially the Palace Master, she never expected such an outcome.

She felt that what she saw was directly a slap in her face, mocking her inadequacy as the current leader of the Guanghan Heavenly Palace.

Those hands were translucent white all over, resembling human hands in shape, but the bones in the hands were abnormally long, and the arms were covered with sharp bone spurs of varying sizes.

Duan Gujin and the Palace Master concluded that these white hands were solid, not just formed from mist.

They both speculated that those white hands could very likely belong to a Demon King who had escaped from beneath.

After observing for a while, they noticed that the white hands kept moving continuously.

The Palace Master blinked and said to Duan Gujin: "Duan Gujin, prepare for battle at any moment; I'm going down to check what exactly those white hands are."

"Alright! Palace Master, be extremely cautious!"

"Understood! If I get trapped below, you must escape immediately!"

Suddenly, the Palace Master said.

"We'll see how it goes!"

Duan Gujin replied nonchalantly.

"If I really get trapped down there, you must escape immediately and call for reinforcements!"

The Palace Master rapidly blinked and said.

"Understood!"

Duan Gujin sighed. When they had arrived here, they initially thought their mission was just to seek treasures, never expecting to encounter such weirdness.

The Palace Master first prepared her defenses, then swiftly swam towards the direction of the spring's mouth.

It was as if sensing danger, initially, that white hand only moved slightly, but as the Palace Master approached, its movements became more fierce.

It clenched its fingers together and suddenly grabbed into the soil in front of it.

The next moment, the nearly translucent white fingers turned pitch black, and the hand itself rapidly grew larger at a visible rate.

Seeing this, Duan Gujin and the Palace Master both had drastic changes in expression.

Realizing that the white hand ahead was extremely dangerous, the Palace Master changed her forward speed.

Her body kept moving forward gradually without stopping, as she wanted to see what further changes would occur with that white hand.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Just at that moment, they saw a mass of black sea mud emerge from the spring's mouth.

The sea mud covered the entire spring's mouth, preventing them from seeing clearly what was inside.

After sensing the danger, the Palace Master flashed her body and quickly retreated.

Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense, sensing a complete figure appearing inside the spring's mouth.

That figure had the silhouette of a Human Clan member, with two hands, two feet, a head, and it stood and walked.

"Could it be that the Demon King is really coming out from there?"

Duan Gujin and the Palace Master gasped coldly as their Divine Sense locked onto the figure ahead.

As soon as the figure launched an attack on them, they were ready to strike back immediately.

After the sea mud dispersed, the figure revealed its true body.

It turned out to be a giant Human Clan ancient skeleton, standing four meters tall, its body grayish-white in color.

What shocked Duan Gujin and the Palace Master the most was that nearly every inch of the skeleton's bones sprouted incredibly sharp, spike-like bone spurs.

"Why does this Human Clan ancient skeleton have so many bone spurs?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered wildly as he pondered what exactly this giant Human Clan ancient skeleton could be.

However, after much thought, he still couldn't recall what kind of living creature this giant skeleton was, he was filled with doubts and could only lock his Divine Sense onto the opponent to observe their next move.

"Duan Gujin, do you know what that is?"

At this moment, the voice of the Palace Master reached Duan Gujin's ears.

"I don't know, Palace Master, we need to be very careful!"

"Right! You also need to be very careful!"

Duan Gujin and the Palace Master dared not take any chances, as they still didn't know what kind of creature the giant Human Clan ancient skeleton was.

"Palace Master, does the third Demon King who was sealed here have any innate abilities?"

After a while, Duan Gujin asked.

"I really don't know that, there's no record of it in the family's Classics!" the Palace Master replied.

Duan Gujin was left speechless, but then he thought that these Demon Kings had been suppressed here over a thousand years ago, and it seemed reasonable that the Guanghan Heavenly Palace on the Qiankun Continent would have no record of this.

"Hehehehe!"

The next moment, they heard a laugh coming from the ancient skeleton in front of them that nearly made their souls scatter.

Duan Gujin was startled, his heart violently pounding.

He quickly infused Primordial Power into his Divine Soul to stabilize the agitation and chaos within.

Almost simultaneously, he saw visible changes occurring at a visible rate on the humanoid ancient skeleton in front of them.

In less than ten breaths' time, they saw two spiral-shaped curved horns emerge on the skull of the skeleton.

"It's a Demon King!"

Duan Gujin and the Palace Master gasped, exchanged glances, and then decided to launch an attack on the Demon King Ancient Corpse in front of them.

"Go!"

Their bodies flashed, transforming into two beams of white light, rushing forward together.

"Hehehe!"

At this time, the Demon King Ancient Corpse ahead let out another terrifying laugh.

Despite their preparedness, both were still affected by the sound of that laugh.

"It seems that the Demon King's laughter contains a strong Divine Soul Attack!"

"Who exactly are you, you demon?" Duan Gujin suddenly shouted loudly.

"Do you, these Human Clan trash, even deserve to speak to me?"

The Demon King Ancient Corpse coldly responded.

Duan Gujin and the Palace Master immediately confirmed that the ancient skeleton standing before them was indeed the Demon King Ancient Corpse.

Especially the Palace Master, she now realized that the previous judgment of the Guanghan Heavenly Palace that the suppressed Demon Kings were dead was completely wrong.

"Your Human Clan scum deserve to die!"

In less than Five Breaths, the Demon King Ancient Corpse released a Cold Energy that instantly froze the surrounding seawater.

"I will tear you into thousands of pieces!"

The Demon King Ancient Corpse let out a chilling voice, and the white mist giant dragon that had been coiling in the sea merged with its body.

Now, the Demon King Ancient Corpse was enveloped in a layer of white fog all around, giving it a semblance of its former appearance.
