The only reasonable explanation is that this terrifyingly powerful demonic beast was killed by a combined effort of experts at the Heavenly Origin Realm.
As expected of a gathering of top geniuses from the Holy Domain, these geniuses are many times stronger than the geniuses of the same realm in the Cloud Martial Sect.
Since the crisis here had been resolved by the previous group, Zhang Yun did not linger and continued to lead Hua Mubai forward.
Gradually, Zhang Yun and Hua Mubai both heard the roars of beasts, as well as the screams of humans and the sounds of fighting.
The various sounds were chaotic and confusing, making Hua Mubai increasingly nervous, and he secretly hid behind Zhang Yun.
Looking into the distance, a magnificent palace stood there.
The palace seemed vast and endless, stretching as far as the eye could see. It was as if a celestial palace stood there, filling Hua Mubai's eyes with intense awe.
He had heard survivors describe what was happening inside the ancient tomb, and he had always felt both fear and longing for it.
Seeing is believing, and seeing it with his own eyes now is even more shocking.
"I've heard that this palace is fraught with various terrible dangers. While it's dangerous, it also holds many treasures. It's a place where danger and opportunity coexist. We need to be careful later."
As he spoke, Hua Mubai subconsciously moved a few more inches closer to Zhang Yun.
"Let's go," Zhang Yun said, somewhat surprised. The powerful being who could build such a magnificent palace must be an extraordinary expert.
Stepping through the palace gates, Hua Mubai realized with deep emotion that compared to its majestic and magnificent aura, he was as insignificant as an ant.
"I heard that the entrance to the palace is a sword formation left behind by that powerful senior, with the purpose of eliminating pseudo-geniuses. Only those who can successfully pass through it can be qualified to enter the palace."
As Hua Mubai explained, he glanced at the terrifying sword formation not far away and couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Even the top geniuses of the Holy Sect cannot guarantee they won't get injured when they step through this sword formation. Brother Zhang, although your martial arts talent is not much weaker than theirs, you still need to be extra careful..."
Before he could finish speaking, Hua Mubai was stunned.
Zhang Yun ignored his nonsense and stepped directly into the terrifying sword formation without the slightest hesitation.
The moment he stepped into the sword formation, a fierce and violent sword aura suddenly rushed towards him like a blade, containing immense power. Hua Mubai's scalp tingled, and his heart jumped into his throat. He couldn't help but worry about Zhang Yun.
He has made a decision: if even Zhang Yun cannot break through the sword formation, he will immediately turn back!
P.S.: I have some news to share. Today, I received a notification from my editor that this book will be available for purchase starting tomorrow at noon.
As we all know, listing a product or service means starting to charge a fee.
As an author who is almost a full-time writer, this book has not performed well. In order to make a living, I have no choice but to put it on sale. I hope everyone will support Xiaomeng.
Also, tomorrow is the first day of release, and Xiaomeng will be releasing 5 to 10 chapters as a way of thanking all fellow cultivators. Thank you all for your support!

Chapter 167 Where's Your Face? (First Update)
Zhang Yun seemed to be a seasoned veteran, and every step he took appeared to be as if it had been calculated beforehand.
The cold, sharp sword energy cleverly whistled past him without harming Zhang Yun.
Hua Mubai was truly stunned by this scene.
He was certain that this was Zhang Yun's first time stepping into a sword formation, but the adaptability he displayed was astonishing.
Zhang Yun's martial arts talent is indeed among the top in the Holy Domain.
Unexpectedly, among the younger generation of the Great Qin Empire, besides Zhang Hao, another Zhang Yun has emerged out of nowhere!
I'm afraid Zhang Yun might just be the next Zhang Hao.
"It's your turn." Zhang Yun's cold demeanor gave Hua Mubai a truly unfathomable feeling.
"All right."
After pondering for a moment, Hua Mubai nodded. He believed that his martial arts talent was not weak, and he was also eager to see what price he would have to pay to successfully break through that terrifying sword formation.
Suddenly, a powerful spiritual force erupted from his body, protecting him. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped towards the sword formation.
The moment he actually stepped into the sword formation, his expression changed.
Only by experiencing it firsthand can one truly understand the terror of this sword formation.
He could clearly feel that within the sword formation, there seemed to be endless sword energy sweeping and roaring. Each wisp of sword energy seemed to contain a terrifying power that could severely injure him, as if blocking all his paths forward.
If this continues, even if he manages to successfully break through the sword formation, he will most likely be injured.
Moreover, he had no idea what kind of crisis awaited him in that palace after he passed through the sword formation; it would certainly be even more dangerous than the sword formation itself.
With this in mind, Hua Mubai couldn't help but have second thoughts.
After all, the various treasures and the inheritances of powerful figures ahead are extremely tempting to cultivators.
But Hua Mubai understood that only his own life was the most important thing.
It would be a losing proposition to sacrifice one's life for the sake of acquiring treasure.
However, when his eyes swept across the sword formation and landed on the figure with arms crossed and an indifferent gaze, another emotion rose in his heart.
Although Zhang Yun appeared cold and aloof, Hua Mubai understood that Zhang Yun was actually waiting for him to successfully break through the sword formation; otherwise, he could have continued forward.
This also proves that Zhang Yun still thinks highly of Hua Mubai.
"We can't let Brother Zhang Yun down."
