Originally, Anthony's heart had already begun to waver, but upon hearing about the possible appearance of a Saint-level magical beast, his expression instantly turned solemn.

He slowly turned his head and exchanged glances with the other four old fellows. In that instant of eye contact, countless thoughts and decisions seemed to flow.

“If we can't break through to the Saint-level, we only have these two years left to live,” the old man on the left, holding a greatsword in both hands, said in a calm tone. His voice, though soft, struck the hearts of everyone like a heavy hammer.

His meaning was clear: he was prepared to take a gamble.

Within those ancient texts, it was recorded that in situations where a natural breakthrough to the Saint-level was impossible, one could completely rely on the magic crystals within Saint-level magical beasts and monsters to achieve it. This kind of Saint-level breakthrough, achieved through external forces, was the weakest and was also known as a Pseudo-Saint.

A Pseudo-Saint was slightly stronger than an Eighth-Order expert, but when facing a true Saint-level powerhouse, they were pitifully weak. However, it was not without its advantages; at least, it granted the same long lifespan as a Saint-level being.

For them, whose lifespans were nearing their end, this was undoubtedly a huge temptation.

What if the Saint-level magical beast in the labyrinth was weaker?

This possibility was not entirely nonexistent.

After all, Saint-level magical beasts or monsters were almost extinct on the continent now, making them particularly cherish this opportunity.

This was also why they had flocked here upon hearing about the emergence of a new underground labyrinth with extremely high-level magical beasts.

They yearned to find a breakthrough in this mysterious labyrinth and carve out a new path for their future.

After a short rest, they left the BOSS hall.

A dozen minutes quietly passed, and Soren led his men to this place filled with blood and traces of battle.

Looking at the massive corpse of the giant snake on the ground, Shadow's eyes were filled with shock.

Even if it was just a corpse, the lingering pressure still made it hard for him to breathe.

Shadow only felt a heavy pressure bearing down on him, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on his chest, making it difficult to breathe.

Soren calmly took out the skull pendant, which emitted an eerie light.

Soon, the giant snake shook its head and slowly stood up. The tattered wounds on its body began to slowly rot, then evolved into rotten flesh, miraculously gradually repairing the broken body.

As the repair progressed, a chilling aura spread out.

When the vertical pupils of the giant snake's eyes turned into ghost flames, the powerful aura of a Semi-Saint was released again.

That terrifying pressure seemed to solidify the surrounding air.

“Let's go to the next hall,” Soren said with a cruel smile, a smile that seemed to contain endless conspiracies and ambitions.

With complex emotions, the group marched towards the next unknown hall.

Within the seventh level of the labyrinth, the twenty-seven BOSS halls exuded a chilling aura.

Seven of them were powerful existences at the Semi-Saint level, while the rest were all Eighth-Order magical beasts.

Soren had his own plans. Next, he arranged for Anthony and the others to go to two Eighth-Order magical beast halls, so they could rest and adjust their condition. He himself, however, led six undead magical beasts and resolutely stepped into the second Semi-Saint magical beast hall, ready to test the strength of the undead giant snake.

As Soren stepped into this hall, a human-faced spider appeared before him.

This human-faced spider was eerie and terrifying. As soon as it saw Soren enter, it immediately gave a charming smile.

That smile seemed to contain endless charm, and Soren was momentarily caught in an illusion.

His eyes became blurred, and his consciousness seemed to sink into a chaotic void.

The human-faced spider took the opportunity to quickly approach Soren, preparing for a feast. Just as it was about to succeed, a huge snake tail lashed out like lightning, directly sending the human-faced spider flying with its powerful force.

The snake tail cut through the air, making a whooshing sound. The powerful impact left the human-faced spider with no power to resist.

The appearance of the undead giant snake instantly changed the situation and also woke Soren from the illusion.

Looking at the scene before him, a complex light flickered in his eyes, and he had a new understanding of the giant snake's strength.

The Endless Blade ruthlessly mocked Soren: “Haha, I told you, if I didn't help, you wouldn't even last a second.”

Soren remained silent, not responding. He knew very well that if he started arguing with the Endless Blade at this time, the other party would definitely activate its talkative mode, and he wouldn't have a moment of peace.

Sure enough, after mocking him a few times, the Endless Blade realized that Soren had no intention of refuting.

“Tch, what a boring guy.”

During the time that the Endless Blade was mocking him, the undead giant snake had already quickly dealt with the human-faced spider.

The whole process was as fast as lightning, not even requiring two minutes.

The human-faced spider mainly killed enemies with illusions, and its individual combat power only reached the level of an Eighth-Order magical beast.

Facing an undead that completely ignored illusions, it couldn't even last a minute. If Soren hadn't stopped the undead giant snake in time, the human-faced spider would probably have turned into a puddle of flesh.

After obtaining another Semi-Saint magical beast, Soren began to move towards the next BOSS hall.

Suddenly, he stopped.

Soren suddenly said, “Shadow, take your men and lie in ambush at the labyrinth entrance. Show no mercy to anyone who tries to escape the labyrinth.”

Shadow was slightly stunned, then immediately understood.

He respectfully bowed, and his and the Dark Guard's bodies slowly turned into nothingness and disappeared.

Seeing the undead giant snake display such powerful combat strength, Shadow's heart was filled with shock.

He knew very well that within this labyrinth, no one could threaten His Highness the Crown Prince, so there was naturally no need to stay by his side to protect him.

At this time, Soren, through continuous exploration and combat, had collected two more Semi-Saint magical beasts and seven Eighth-Order magical beasts.

Under his careful arrangement, Anthony successfully found the entrance to the eighth level.

This progress allowed everyone to see new hope and challenges. Number Three and Number Six had already left the labyrinth with three wounded. For them, this was the best excuse they could find.

Anthony, considering that the two were only Eighth-Order cultivators, whose combat power was not important in this fierce battle, and that one of the wounded was his junior, agreed to their request to leave.

When they arrived in front of the gate to the eighth floor, they saw a person sitting on a stone high-backed chair.

“You've finally come, you've made me wait!”
