A stone effigy, even taller than him, suddenly appeared, but with the slash of the Yun Cong Sword, the stone effigy instantly disintegrated.
The stone effigies from the other three tomb passages then appeared at the entrance of the tomb passages.
"Kill..." A mechanical voice slowly emanated from the stone effigies, and they charged at Chen Fan one by one...
Stone effigies, each taller than Chen Fan, instantly surrounded him, raising their stone spears and preparing to charge.
"Swish....."
Chen Fan, holding the Yun Cong Sword, shot out a streak of sword energy at lightning speed. The stone effigies in front of him shattered one by one.
However, an endless stream of stone effigies poured out from the tomb passages, as if they could never be killed.
"Whose grand design is this? Each stone effigy possesses the strength of a Martial Dao Golden Core. If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul stage expert, they might not even survive amidst this group of stone effigies."
With no time to think, the stone effigies continued to charge relentlessly, wave after wave. After an unknown amount of time, Chen Fan's sword-holding hand began to tremble. He waited for the next wave of stone effigies, but they did not appear again.
"Is it over?" Chen Fan looked wearily at the stone effigies that had turned to dust. A thick layer of lime had already accumulated on the ground.
"I've changed my mind. Unless there's a limit to the stone effigies, even their so-called king would be exhausted to death in this room by this formation." After speaking, Chen Fan scanned his surroundings and prepared to leave through the tomb passage in the center.
But as Chen Fan stepped into that tomb passage, the entire tomb began to operate strangely. Of course, Chen Fan heard the commotion, but he could only offer a wry smile. What else could he do? His strength was not yet enough to change the entire ancient tomb...

"Report! Lord Zuo Shendian." A researcher, who was still observing the state of the ancient tomb, shouted to Zuo Shendian.
"What's the situation? Speak." Zuo Shendian asked without looking up.
Because a few hours ago, this researcher had detected another destructive explosion that was infinitely close to god-level, which had indeed made Zuo Shendian a little less confident.
"The ancient tomb appears to be moving irregularly," the researcher said, quickly handing the report transmitted by the instrument to Zuo Shendian.
"Bang bang bang..." There was a knock on the tent door.
Then, several powerful individuals from District Thirteen pushed open the door and knelt on one knee, "Lord Zuo Shendian, the excavation team has encountered trouble. The deep pool below has suddenly disappeared, and many excavators and our temporary workers have fallen in and are missing."
Zuo Shendian did not respond much after hearing this and motioned for these people to follow him to the edge of the large pit.
The large excavated pit was surrounded by security personnel. Without further ado, upon seeing Lord Zuo Shendian, they consciously cleared a path.
Zuo Shendian looked down, and the scene that met his eyes would be an indelible impression.
The underground deep pool was gone, replaced by a colossal plaza. In the center of the plaza stood a building resembling a pavilion. The pavilion had four straight paths extending from each of its sides, lined with sculpted guards. On the pavilion's plaque were written four large characters.
"Chao Tian Ge"
Such a grand underground plaza indeed shocked Zuo Shendian to his core.
A moment later.
"All armed personnel from District Thirteen, martial arts experts, gather in the central plaza, except for the defense zone security!"
A majestic voice echoed from the sky. Martial artists and personnel from all directions converged towards the central plaza.
Upon cumulative counting, there were ten peak infant-level experts, sixty Golden Core stage experts, one hundred congenital realm experts, two hundred acquired realm experts, and five hundred armed personnel, totaling eight hundred and seventy people.
Yes.
This was the strength of District Thirteen, capable of casually obliterating any sect or a small country.
As the gathering was completed and the mission was issued, a mighty team followed Zuo Shendian and leaped into the plaza within the large pit.
As the troops of District Thirteen gradually entered, they descended in an orderly fashion, while ordinary security personnel also slid down with safety ropes.
The plaza within the pit was now filled with people from District Thirteen.
"There's nothing strange about it," Zuo Shendian muttered to himself as he watched the people from District Thirteen descend one by one without any danger occurring.
With the perceived absence of danger, the researchers followed suit, commencing a carpet search for threats and initiating 3D modeling of the ancient tomb. This would facilitate a better exploration of the secrets hidden within the depths of the ancient tomb.
"Report! Zuo Shendian, unidentified life signs detected." A researcher from District Thirteen, after obtaining the scanning instrument, indicated that apart from their own personnel, there were many life signs on this site.
As reports from various instruments were printed, more and more documents were piled up. The researchers of District Thirteen began to systematically investigate...
"Not good..... Besides those from District Thirteen, there are at least a thousand unidentified creatures on this plaza with traceable movement trajectories...." The researcher, holding the freshly printed report, immediately handed it to Zuo Shendian.
"Interesting, very interesting," Zuo Shendian said, holding the report without making a statement.
"Creak....." The tomb's peculiar mechanism sounded.
Suddenly, the platform rapidly slid down. Indeed, the ancient tomb had begun to move again.
At this moment, those on the pavilion platform looked up and saw not the sky, but steep stone walls on all sides.
The ancient tomb's lights instantly illuminated, emitting a strange green glow...
"Mermaid fat lamps?" Zuo Shendian's expression changed to one of great shock upon seeing this situation. The torches on all four walls were made from mermaid fat, and a faint, fresh aroma spread throughout the area.
"All personnel, enter Level One alert. Immediately put on gas masks." Zuo Shendian, being the highest-ranking, was the first to detect this faint aroma.
