Having soldiered on for a long time and reaching the end of the Tomb, the soldiers and cultivators were all tired. And yet, when they saw the final door, they all felt a newfound wave of motivation flowing through them.

"Let's open it!" The cultivators said,

"Wait! We have to check it first!" The commander spoke before turning to a specific group in the back. "Formation masters." He called.

Four cultivators walked out of the group and checked the door with their different methods. Some used spirit tools, and some used their own skills. Regardless, they all had a frown on their face by the time they were done.

The commander and the rest saw this and knew something might be wrong.

"What's the issue?" The commander asked.

"Yeah, is there some trap there?" The others asked as well.

"No... rather there is nothing here... no trap or even a normal formation." One of the formation masters spoke.

"That's strange... so far we've come upon one formation array after the other."

"Is it a disguised trap?"

"It's hard to tell, like this. Plus the material of the door is too dense and our spirit sense can't pass through it." The formation masters added.

"I see..." The commander replied, a few thoughts going through his mind.

"What do we do now, commander?" The soldiers asked while the other cultivators watched on in anticipation.

"We can't go back empty handed from here. Go! Open it!" The commander ordered.

"YES SIR!" The soldiers replied before coming to stand against the large doors.

They were very heavy and needed the strength of ten men to move a single door.

It took quite a bit of an effort, but they mustered it all and finally pushed open the door.

But when it opened, what they saw terrified their very souls.

"WHAT IS THAT!"

"HOLY HEAVENS!"

"A MONSTER!?"

In front of them was a massive creature that filled half of the entire hall the were in. One must know, the hall was nearly thirty meters tall in height and over seventy meters wide as well.

A creature that could fill half this hall was simply too massive.

"Silence!" The commander ordered horridly.

The soldiers and the cultivators held their mouth right at that moment but still continued to look at the creature. Only now did they realize that the creature seemed to be asleep.

'Shit! Did we wake it up?' the cultivators that had shouted the loudest wondered.

For two minutes, there was a pin drop silence in the hall, with many holding their breaths. They were far too fearful to breathe and possibly awaken the creature.

Their eyes scanned it, finding its features to be horrifying. It had long tusks around what seemed to be its mouth and had scaly skin that covered the entire extent of its body. It also had multiple eyes, but they were all closed right now.

If it were not for the fact that they had lights with them, they would not have even seen the many eye slits on its head that seemingly surrounded its mouth.

"What is this thing?" Someone whispered lightly.

"Who knows? Though seeing its long body, it's some kind of a serpent, maybe?" their companion replied.

A few more minutes passed in silence, but the expedition members didn't move. Only after ensuring that the creature in front of them did not react at all did they start to retreat.

"HAAA! HAA! HAAA!" the soldiers took a breath of relief after having left the hall behind.

Everyone retreated to several corridors away from the ending hall, too afraid to come close to the creature.

"How can something that big even fit in here?" A man asked the commander.

"I don't know... but from all the rooms and halls we've seen so far, it doesn't seem like the creature had entered from them. They are far too small to fit it." The commander replied.

'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',

"That thing, is it even alive, though?" A soldier nearby wondered.

"Didn't you sense the aura? The mere presence of that thing is enough to terrify me." The man who had spoken to the commander replied.

"Calm down, elder Guo. We need to be careful here." The commander spoke.

"I apologize, commander." The man named Elder Guo replied. "Still... we need to figure out what that thing is and why it's here."

"Isn't it obvious, its guarding something?" A rogue cultivator stated.

"Something that big must be protecting something really precious, too. Maybe it is an immortal technique!" Someone chimed in.

As soon as these words were said, the glint of desire could be seen in the eyes of many.

"We can't be careless and just go in. We need to know what that creature is first. We don't even know how strong it is in the first place." The commander stated.

"It can't be stronger than you, can it commander?" One of the soldiers said.

"No... it is definitely stronger than me... I feel it." The commander honestly replied, much to their surprise.

The soldiers all felt dreadful and their desire to continue ahead was doused. But this sentiment wasn't carried by the others.

A short distance away from them, a small group of cultivators were talking in hushed voices.

"Did you see that jade slip too?" A man asked his companions.

"Yes... not just see it, the Treasure Insight Compass is going crazy ever since it came in its range." A woman replied and took out a compass from her sleeve.

It was a small metal compass about the size of a palm. But the most interesting part was that it had nine needles instead of just one. And right now, they were all going haywire, pointing at random position.

"Hmm... if it's like this then it should definitely be a top grade technique in that, right?" the leader of the group said with a smile.

"Easily. It might even be an immortal grade technique, maybe. Or something better than that, who knows?" The woman answered.
