“Refrain from scattering about! Charge in one direction!” commanded Yusra as she attempted to regroup her men. Unfortunately, things had gone completely haywire. Not only had several of the cultivators fallen, but many others had run off in all directions, too panicked to even consider heeding Yusra’s orders!Only Hauk, Master Greendrake, Mr. Sevenom, and a few other experienced cultivators ended up following Yusra’s orders. Even so, the nether soldiers were extremely difficult to take down. Just as Hauk had said, it was near impossible to accurately locate their demonic sources. One soldier may have hidden it in his head, while the other his stomach! With that in mind, the party would be long dead if they simply focused on identifying where all their demonic sources were!Thankfully, the ones who had regrouped understood that, which was why they were simply using attacks that would keep the nether soldiers at bay for now. Eventually, however, Master Greendrake yelled, “All of you,

“You jest, Mr. Greendrake. I truly am just here for the Yinblood pellets,” replied Gerald in a monotonous tone. “I’m glad to hear… Well, putting that aside, let’s set up the formation that we initially planned as quickly as possible once we’re inside the tomb...!”Following that order, the group then began making their way toward the tomb… and soon enough, they found themselves standing in the main chamber. Honestly, the inside of the general’s tomb felt almost otherworldly. The tomb itself had been built on a large mountain that was at least a few hundred meters tall and had a depth of approximately a thousand meters. Spacious didn’t even begin describing this massive place…Regardless, in the center of the ring-shaped chamber, was a huge coffin with seventy-two massive stone monuments surrounding it. According to Master Greendrake, the mystical angelic artifacts could be found in one of the rooms behind the stone monuments… Either way, Master Greendrake was quick to order in

As he said that, Gerald made sure to use his eyes to signal Hauk and the others to withdraw their power. His plan was to risk allowing the headless general to rampage, but also cause enough chaos to stop Sanchez from getting what he wished to achieve. Thankfully, all the cultivators seemed to get his message. Unfortunately, just as they were about to withdraw their powers, Sanchez simply waved his hand, prompting a dome of light to trap them where they stood! Upon seeing that, Gerald understood that if he withdrew the Heavenly Guard Order now, he’d essentially be sentencing the rest of them to death!The other cultivators naturally figured this out as well, and this prompted Hauk to yell, “How despicable…!”As for the frowning Gerald, he couldn’t help but ask, “You couldn’t have spent this long preparing for only our deaths, no…?”Laughing sinisterly, Sanchez then replied, “Well, since you’ll all be dead soon anyway, I guess there’s no harm in me telling you about my plan! As you

Almost immediately after, all the blood began glowing in a golden light as they seeped down the cracks!Though pretty much everyone was surprised by the earthquake, Sanchez quickly snapped out of it before laughing hideously as he yelled, “I… I’ve succeeded, haven’t I?! As I predicted, the fresh blood of those cultivators was the key all along…!”“Eldest Brother, look! No wonder nobody’s been able to solve the tomb’s secrets! There’s a space beneath the main chamber!”“How horrifying… If this level’s headless general has already entered the Domiensch Realm, how powerful would the true owner of the tomb be…?” muttered the white-robed man as he placed his hands against his back while looking down at the massive hole that had just formed on the ground… Meanwhile, Gerald could feel his body slowly sinking, almost as though something from the hole was drawing him in… and it was at that moment when he got an idea. Murmuring a spell, Gerald quickly released the Heavenly Guard Order… an

After initiating his transformation technique, Gerald then turned himself into a faint beam of light that dove deep into the borderless ocean! When he finally spread out his divine sense again, Gerald realized that he had managed to break free from the illusion! Currently, he found himself in what appeared to be a mansion’s storage space. As for how he made that guess, it was because there were several boxes of varying sizes lying all around him. Though Gerald was left slightly confused, he was more relieved than anything as he thought, ‘Thank god I knew how to transform… Otherwise, I would’ve been trapped in there forever!’ Shivering slightly to the thought of that outcome, Gerald quickly shook his head before starting to look around… Apart from the boxes, the only other thing within the room was a landscape painting scroll hanging on the wall. The painting portrayed a huge, open space within a peach forest that was surrounded by high mountains and waterfalls… There was even a p
