Just then, a huge figure appeared in their sight, and Zuan and the others finally realized what the others were hiding from.

There stood a monster, four or five stories tall, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, like a giant praying mantis.

However, unlike the slender waist of a mantis, its body is quite robust and exudes a metallic luster.

If it weren't for its unusual size, Zaun might have thought it resembled some supercars from his previous life.

It has many legs, each covered with a dense array of sharp barbs. As it crawls quickly, it steps on people who have fallen to the ground in the crowd while fleeing, piercing through their bodies like a sharp blade.

Those who dared to explore this great tomb, even those on the outermost edge, were not unknown figures in the martial arts world. Each of them possessed considerable physical strength, and some even had protective armor or similar items on their person. Unfortunately, in front of those slender limbs, everything seemed as fragile as paper, and blood splattered everywhere in an instant.

At this moment, a sound like drinking water through a straw was heard in the air. Some sharp-eyed people noticed that all the blood of those people was flowing from the monster's limbs. Then, it could be vaguely seen that the blood was being sucked into the monster's body from those thin limbs. At the same time, those who fell to the ground instantly withered, leaving only skin.

This monster is actually sucking human life essence!

Just thinking about it, and hearing the constant slurping sounds from straws, makes my scalp tingle.

However, there were also some brave and fierce people in the arena. It seemed that the fact that their companions had been eaten had made them red-eyed as well.

Many people brandished their weapons and attacked the monster. Others, confident in their superior cultivation, were unwilling to flee and lose the opportunity to explore the tomb, so they also joined the attack.

Swish swish swish!

The monster's two forelimbs were exceptionally large, resembling scythes.

Blood mist instantly rose in mid-air, and most of those who attacked were cut in two.

Zuan and the others all felt a jolt in their hearts: "Such a fast blade!"

Despite their cultivation levels, they couldn't even see how the monster swung its blade.

It was so fast! I just saw it raise its front paws, and then it was all over.

At this moment, some cultivators who were attacking the monster from the side and rear took this opportunity to reach the monster's side. They knew that if the monster turned around and swung its forelimbs, most of them would also be turned into a pile of minced meat.

Rather than doing that, we might as well take a gamble!

They all brandished their weapons and slashed at the monster. Even if they couldn't kill it, it wouldn't be too much of a loss if they died together with it.

A series of crisp clanging sounds rang out, and the people's eyes widened instantly, because their all-out attacks had failed to break through the defense!

All the swords, spears, and halberds that struck the monster's body only left a few white spots at most.

Everyone was terrified and tried to retreat, but suddenly two huge scythes appeared in their eyes, and then everything turned blood red.

Seeing this, the remaining people completely collapsed, no longer having the courage to fight back, and ran away screaming and howling.

Unfortunately, the monster's limbs were too long; it could easily surround many people with just a few steps, and then it would be a one-sided massacre.

Vesso suggested, "Let's take this opportunity and leave quickly."

Zuan shook his head: "Although these guys aren't necessarily all good people, it's still hard to get over the fact that they just stand by and watch humans being slaughtered without doing anything."

Jing Teng glanced at him with some surprise. This guy seemed very different from the selfish and cruel people in the world.

Qiu Honglei said solemnly, "But this monster is impervious to swords and spears, and there's nothing we can do."

These are just the monsters on the outer layer of the tomb; one can only imagine how terrifying the other monsters that Immortal Lord Baopu imprisoned back then must have been.

She quickly said, "This monster is called the 'Death Reaper.' Its outer shell is immune to attacks from weapons below the divine level, and its pair of reaping scythes are incredibly fast and elusive, far beyond our capabilities."

Zuan was somewhat surprised; this woman seemed to know far too much about this great tomb.

"There is a way to deal with its invulnerability to swords and spears, but the main problem is that its attacks are too fast, making them impossible to defend against." Recalling the way the opponent swung its forelimbs just now, it had already exceeded the concept of speed.

Although he is physically strong, being cut in two with a single stroke would certainly not be a pleasant experience.

Qiu Honglei said, "I can use the Wall of Sighs to shield you for a moment."

That is the strongest defensive measure of the light element.

“Then there’s no problem.” Zu’an’s expression shifted, and he quickly discussed the matter with her.

By this time, the monster had noticed the group of people. They remained in place, forming a stark contrast with the ants that scattered and fled, making them hard to miss.

The monster swung its eight long legs and charged towards them quickly.

Zuan went straight up to meet it, using his wind ability to appear almost instantly above the monster's head.

The monster's compound eyes flickered, clearly noticing his presence. Its two scythes slashed out instantly, so fast that no one had time to react.

Fortunately, Qiu Honglei was already prepared and erected a wall of sighs on him.

The monster's blade struck it almost simultaneously, and the Wailing Wall, which was said to be able to block all attacks, shattered instantly.

However, he managed to stop those two blows. Before the opponent's forelimbs could move again, Zaun made his move.

As the Tai'a sword was drawn, a dazzling sword aura appeared before everyone like a galaxy.

No one could describe this sword strike. There were many experts in the arena, but they all felt an overwhelming sense of weakness, as if this sword strike alone would make them invincible.
