Boom, boom, boom.
Just then, three earth-shaking booms rang out in the distance, and the ground beneath their feet trembled faintly.
"What's going on?"
Ye Lin looked toward the distance in confusion. Clouds of smoke billowed there, blotting out the sky and sun.

The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing a gigantic beast more than ten meters tall. Its body radiated the aura of a Foundation Establishment Peak Stage being, making the surrounding disciples instinctively take a step back.
