“Form up!”


    Upon seeing the various forces closing in, Grace issued a swiftmand. Her nearly hundred-strong guard team immediately shifted their formation, arranging themselves into a charging wedge.


    Unlike the ordinary martial artists of the martial world, Grace’s guards were well-trained and had seamless coordination.


    While they might not be a match for the martial artists in one-on-onebat, they could unleash extraordinarybat strength on the battlefield.


    Especially in their formation, they were an unstoppable force.


    As the martial artists advanced, they were violently pushed back by therge formation, unable to withstand theimpact.


    Grace’s entire team resembled a gigantic wedge, slicing through the crowd and rapidly approaching the pce gates.Under normal circumstances, Grace’s group wouldn’t have advanced so smoothly.


    Fortunately, most of the factions were engaged in fierce battles with the beasts, diverting their attention away from Grace’s team. As a result, their advance was unstoppable.


    “This is great! Following them was the right decision!” Sophia, who hid behind the charging formation, observed the nearing pce gate with growing joy.


    She had anticipated fierce resistance, but the situation turned out surprisingly smooth. The chaos hadyed to her advantage.


    “Break the door!” As they closed in on the pce gate, Grace issued anothermand.Several divine-level martial artists stepped forward, channeling their internal energy. Simultaneously, they struck the pce gates with force.


    A loud bang echoed, and the pce gate quivered, sheddingyers of dirt and revealing its original bronze hue. It exuded an ancient and mysterious aura.


    “What?” The divine-level martial artists exchanged bewildered nces as they stared at the seemingly immovable bronze gate.


    They had strong internal energy with force equivalent to ten thousand pounds.


    However, despite their collectivestrength concentrated in a single palm strike, the gate remained resolute. Just how sturdy was this gate?


    “Again!” Grace’s determination remained unshaken.The divine-level martial artists took a deep breath, channeling the internal energy from their entire being, before striking the bronze gate simultaneously with their palms.


    Another loud bang echoed, causing the bronze gate to shake more violently with moreyers of dirt falling off.


    However, after the shaking, the bronze gate stood firm, showing no signs of yielding.


    Meanwhile, other martial artists had noticed the scene, particrly Yonah and Bran. Their expressions hardened as they realized Grace’s group was attempting to breach the door.


    Abandoning their ongoing battles, they and the disciples of their sects swiftly moved toward Grace’s group.


    They would never allow anyone to seize the treasures before they did.


    “What a useless bunch! Allow me!” Aidan, who had been standing at the back, grew anxious to see Grace’s men fail to break the door.


    He tookrge strides forward, gathered his strength, and then threw a powerful punch at the bronze gate.


    The earth shook as a loud explosion echoed.


    The bronze gate began vibrating violently. Cracks started to form from the point of impact, spreading rapidly and soon covering the entire gate.


    However, the bronze gate didn’t shatter.


    “It’s pretty tough!” Aidan raised an eyebrow, delivering another punch, putting more force this time.


    Another resounding explosion echoed, and the robust bronze gate finally cracked, revealing a dim entrance.


    “It’s breached! It’s finally breached!”


    “Aidan is truly formidable!”


    A wave of joy swept through the crowd.


    The bronze gate was exceptionally robust, and it wouldn’t have been breached without the strength of a grandmaster.


    “Let’s explore the ce!” Grace signaled, and a few people in front immediately ignited torches before cautiously entering the pce.


    The pce turned out to be a royal tomb. No one knew what traps might be hidden inside. If they identallytriggered any of them, it could possibly lead to fatal results.


    Suddenly, a gust of wind blew out from the depths of the pce. It stirred up dust and smoke, extinguishing the torches held by those at the forefront.


    Simultaneously, a pungent stench, reminiscent of decaying fish and shrimp, filled the air.


    “It’s foul here! What the hell is this smell? It’s so disgusting!” The sudden putrid stench prompted everyone to reflexively shield their mouths and noses.


    At that moment, Dustin frowned, sensing imminent danger. He shouted, “This is bad! It’s not safe! Retreat!”


    Soon after, two red nterns” materialized in a dim section at the pce’s end. Thenterns hovered eerily in midair, emitting a strangeglow.A single nce sent shivers down everyone’s spine, instilling a sense of chilling dread.


    After its appearance, it swiftly advanced toward the group, apanied by the sound of metal scraping against the ground.


    “Fall back! Retreat immediately!” Upon seeing the rednterns, Grace’s expression shifted dramatically, issuing a swift order to retreat.


    Despite the uncertainty, her well- trained guards followed hermand implicitly.


    However, before they could make aplete retreat, the two floating red ”nterns” swiftly reached the pce entrance.


    A massive shadow swept by, and several guards who couldn’t escape intime were swallowed by the shadow, disappearing without a trace.


    It was only when the shadow came to a halt that everyone saw its true form-a giant ck python, measuring about 70 to 100 feet long.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    The python had a single horn on its head, boasted a body thicker than a water tank, and sported jet-ck, armor-like scales. Beneath its abdomen, two razor-sharp ck ws extended.


    The rednterns everyone thought they had seen were, in reality, the eyes of this monstrous ck python.


    With ws, a horn, andntern-like eyes, it transcended the mere categorization of a python, resembling more of a legendary ck serpent!
