"Back then, after His Majesty Vane suppressed these Giant Demons, he killed the vast majority of them. He left dozens alive, using Forbidden Magic Stones to seal their power and imprisoning them in the dungeon."

"His Majesty Vane said that the Outer Realms and the Mortal Realm are closely connected, and with this crack acting as a mutual passageway, a great war is inevitable sooner or later. Moreover, relying on the weak strength of the Human Race, it would definitely be difficult to contend with those Outer Realm powerhouses whose strength is on par with natural disasters."

"The reason these dozens of Giant Demons were kept alive was to leave some valuable data and information for future generations. If a person of great wisdom is born in future generations, perhaps they could study these Giant Demons and discover a method to combat the Outer Realm Demonic Race."

Alex nodded thoughtfully and asked with a smile. "Your Majesty, I wonder if I could visit the dungeon and observe these Giant Demons? I believe His Majesty Vane’s prophecy and worries are extremely reasonable. Although I am not a person of great wisdom, perhaps I can also study these Giant Demons and discover some clues." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Aurelia froze slightly, saying joyfully. "Saint Lord Alex, are these words true? If you can study these Giant Demons and discover a method to combat the Outer Realm Demonic Race, then you would be the great benefactor of the Human Race! The citizens of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty in future generations will inevitably eternally remember your grace!"

"Good, I will personally take Saint Lord Alex to the dungeon right now!"

Immediately, Aurelia didn’t even care about drinking anymore, leading Alex out of the Azure Phoenix Palace.

Selene originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by Lyra and Lily.

"Selene, Her Majesty didn’t call for you." Lily smiled.

"The two of them are going to the dungeon to observe Giant Demons. What are you following them for?"

Selene froze. "Shouldn’t we follow along?"

"They finally have a rare opportunity to spend time alone together. Why are you, a lightbulb, ruining the mood?" Lyra said grumpily. "Could it be that you really want Her Majesty to grow old and die alone?"

"Saint Lord Alex, we have created this two-person world opportunity for you. You must definitely work hard and strive to directly take down Her Majesty!"

...

Aurelia led Alex into the dungeon. The instant he stepped inside, Alex felt an overbearing aura.

Even though this aura originated from an extremely ancient era and felt somewhat stale, its majestic dreadfulness remained undiminished.

The surroundings were pitch-black. One couldn’t even see their own fingers stretched out before them. But from a distance, one could see pairs of blood-red eyes flashing in the darkness.

Alex waved his hand, summoning a streak of spiritual fire to dispel the darkness. Stepping forward and focusing his gaze, he couldn’t help but secretly gasp in a breath of cold air.

Within this dungeon, there truly were dozens of Giant Demons imprisoned. Every single one had their chest pierced by sharp Forbidden Magic Stones, pinning them securely to the walls.

Their hands and feet were also wearing heavy shackles of the same material.

Perhaps because they had been imprisoned for too long, these dozens of Giant Demons were clearly much weaker and more haggard than those summoned by the Nether Earth Ghost King last time.

However, even at their last breath under the confinement of the Forbidden Magic Stones, their blood-red eyes still radiated a fierce, savage might.

Staring at Alex’s tiny figure stepping forward, they let out low, guttural roars, seemingly threatening and intimidating him.

Without a doubt, as long as the Forbidden Magic Stones were removed, these Giant Demons would definitely pounce in an instant and tear him to pieces.

"These Giant Demons are truly as fierce as the legends say." Alex said with deep interest.

"For His Majesty Vane to suppress hundreds of them single-handedly back then is truly awe-inspiring."

"What Saint Lord Alex says is correct." Aurelia sighed with emotion.

"When I was young, my Imperial Father allowed me to play anywhere in the entire Azure Phoenix Palace, but this dungeon alone, I was absolutely not allowed to enter under any circumstances."

"It wasn’t until later, after I inherited the throne and walked in for the first time, that I understood his painstaking intentions. These Giant Demons have been imprisoned for thousands of years, yet they still possess such terrifying yin qi and killing intent."

"If I had accidentally triggered some mechanism, allowing them to break free from the Forbidden Magic Stones, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Alex smiled and nodded, unhurriedly walking up to a Giant Demon. This one, compared to the others, was clearly a whole larger in physical size.

Furthermore, from its gaze and expression, one could vaguely judge that it should be a minor leader among this group.

Alex sized it up with deep interest for a while. He waved his hand, circulating his spiritual energy, and materialized a small knife.

Aurelia didn’t understand his intention in suddenly revealing a sharp blade, and she couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly. However, out of trust for Alex, she didn’t question him or make any move to stop him.

The Giant Demon minor leader seemed to sense that this human radiated a terrifying aura capable of annihilating it.

A thick sense of terror instantly arose in its heart, and it let out a low roar, seemingly demonstrating its might and giving a warning.

"Imprisoned for nearly thousands of years, and still this energetic? Truly worthy of being the Giant Demon Race." Alex smiled faintly.

With a gentle wave of the dagger, he sliced off a tuft of black fur from the Giant Demon’s lower leg.

This black fur was indeed extremely tough, just like steel.

But with Alex’s cultivation, even a dagger casually materialized from spiritual energy was sharp enough to slice through iron as if it were mud. Therefore, this fur posed fundamentally no defense against him.
