Yeom Hwaun wiped his face, finally unable to deceive himself any longer.
"If that's the case, then all the more reason for me to find a way to slay that demonic beast."
The elder furrowed his brow, beginning to understand the chieftain's intentions. "You mean to extract its core?"
"A core of the peak of the Deity Transformation stage demonic beast will be incredibly beneficial to my cultivation. I may be able to break through a whole new level. I must grow stronger!" Yeom Hwaun's gaze burned with unwavering determination.
The elder could only let out a helpless sigh.
At this point, they were already beyond turning back.
The young chieftain had grown up.
Perhaps, if their previous leader could see him now, he would finally be at peace.
The team continued advancing.
The deeper they ventured into the mountains, the more frequently they encountered the demonic creatures.
