Doupo: I'm really not a girl

As Bai Xiaoran and the others passed through the enormous, pitch-black spatial gate and stepped into the Heavenly Tomb, an aura of antiquity washed over them.

The sky took on a strange dark gold hue, and the clouds seemed frozen in the sky, motionless.

The ground beneath their feet was cracked, with huge fissures stretching into the distance, their depths unfathomable. Occasionally, eerie blue flames would rise from the cracks, vanishing in an instant, emanating a chilling aura.

"This is the Heavenly Tomb? It is indeed mysterious and unpredictable."

Bai Xiaoran muttered to herself, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.

He could sense that countless eyes were hidden in this seemingly desolate space, silently watching them, the outsiders.

Gu Xun'er stayed close to Bai Xiaoran, her eyes equally wary, her hands gripping Bai Xiaoran's arms tightly, ready to deal with any potential danger.

"Brother Xiaoran, be careful, I have a feeling something's not right here."

Xiao Yan seconded the agreement, acknowledging that as first-timers entering the Heavenly Tomb, they still had many shortcomings.

Just then, a deep roar suddenly came from afar, as if an ancient beast was awakening.

The sound echoed in the silent Heavenly Tomb, making everyone's eardrums ache.

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to tremble violently, and huge earth spikes emerged from the ground, rushing towards the group.

Bai Xiaoran reacted extremely quickly, flashing to the front of the group in an instant. From her palm, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame surged forth, forming a wall of fire that blocked all the earth spikes.

"Everyone, be careful!"

As Bai Xiaoran finished speaking, countless dark shadows suddenly appeared in the sky and fell towards everyone like raindrops.

As the shadowy figures drew closer, the group realized they were a group of skeletal warriors reeking of decay. Their eye sockets burned with eerie green flames, and they wielded various weapons as they lunged forward, baring their fangs and claws.

"These skeleton warriors are all at the Dou Zun level!" Gu Xun'er's expression changed slightly. She swung her longsword sharply, and a sharp blade of light slashed out, instantly cutting several skeleton warriors into pieces.

Xiao Yan was not to be outdone. He moved like lightning, weaving through the skeleton horde. Each attack was accompanied by a flash of azure flame, and the skeleton warriors struck by the flames instantly turned to ashes.

However, the number of skeleton warriors was simply too great, surging in relentlessly from all directions, and the group gradually found themselves in a fierce battle. "This can't go on; we must find a way to break through!"

While fighting, Bai Xiaoran pondered a strategy.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he spotted a huge black mountain in the distance, with a light seemingly flashing on it.

"You guys come with me."

Upon hearing this, the two concentrated their strength and broke through towards the mountain peak.

The three combined their strength and quickly broke through the encirclement of the skeleton soldiers, with the others following closely behind.
The mountain was entirely black, its surface covered with strange runes, emanating a powerful sense of oppression.

Xiao Yan looked up and saw an ancient palace at the top of the mountain, from which the beam of light was emanating.

"Looks like that's the key. Let's go up!" Bai Xiaoran took a deep breath and rushed up the mountain first.

The group followed closely behind, carefully climbing the steep mountain peak.

Just as they were approaching the summit, a powerful soul fluctuation suddenly emanated from the palace, followed by a gigantic figure slowly emerging from it.

It was a giant several meters tall, its entire body made of black crystal, radiating a cold aura.

He held a huge spiked club in his hand, and with each step he took, the entire mountain trembled.

"This is... a guardian spirit?" Bai Xiaoran's expression turned solemn. He could sense that this giant was extremely powerful, at least at the Dou Zun level.

The giant roared and swung his spiked club at the crowd.

Wherever the spiked club passed, space seemed to be torn apart, and a huge crack quickly spread outwards.

"Something feels off!" (End of Chapter)
