Having witnessed a Tombburst devour an entire great world, seen a juvenile Tomb Beast, and personally watched one consume a Heavenly Venerable, both Han Yi and Li Qiankun felt exceedingly grim.
As they fled southward, they encountered another Tombburst midway. This Tombburst was far inferior to the one that had swallowed a world, but it was still no trivial matter. Li Qiankun personally entered it, peered into its core for an instant, then withdrew.

Seeing this,
