Li Wei guessed that the six monsters on the mural were the Corpse Keeper, one of whom, the one guarding the water-based tomb, had already been devoured by him.

However, the scene depicted in this image shows that the person from the "gate" who could kill "Mordor" separated into a clone and implanted it into a monster. This means that one of the six monsters should have a clone of the person from the "gate" inside its body; clearly, this monster is not to be trifled with. And this monster, which merged with the clone of the person from the "gate," eventually entered the tomb chamber marked with a "flame" symbol, making the answer obvious.

The thought that he might face the clone of the person in the 'door' suddenly made Li Wei feel a surge of tension.

How strong is Mordor? Li Wei guessed that if all six magic systems reached the Grandmaster level, his combat strength would probably be above S3 level, or even S9 level as mentioned by the 'Main God'.

Such a person could crush you with a single finger. So how could a clone released by someone from a sect that even such a powerful figure couldn't defeat be weak?

However, having come this far, it seems impossible to leave the Mage's Tomb without finding all the remains, so no matter what, I have to grit my teeth and continue searching.

Feeling burdened, Li Wei stopped arguing with the fat man. He didn't tell the fat man about it; if he did, given the fat man's strong mentality, he would probably be too scared to act.

After descending the passage, Li Wei and Fatty arrived at a much larger underground cavern. Compared to this, the Flame Cavern above was nothing.

As soon as they stepped out of the passage, Li Wei saw someone running towards them in the distance.

"It's Lord Wang!" The fat man recognized the person at a glance.

At this moment, Lord Wang's robes were tattered and he had many wounds on his body, but he didn't care about them at all. He just ran for his life, as if something terrible was chasing him.

Perhaps upon spotting Li Wei and the fat man, he perked up and ran towards them, shouting something as he went.

The sound of churning lava around him drowned out his shouts, so neither Li Wei nor the fat man heard them.

However, they quickly guessed what the other was trying to say.

Behind Lord Wang followed an enormous Flame Spider, as large as a small building, whose every step caused the ground to tremble slightly.

"Ancient Fire Spider, S1 grade, 30,000 HP, Special Skill: Incinerating Web... A descendant of ancient gods and demons, capable of communicating with the spirit of fire, immune to all six types of attack magic."

Upon seeing the monster, the fat man yelled "Oh my god!" and turned to run away. Although he couldn't see through the opponent's combat strength like Li Wei, it didn't affect his instinctive judgment of danger. Without a doubt, with his current B1-level combat strength, facing this giant Flame Spider would only lead to certain death.

As for abandoning Li Wei, the fat man had his own explanation: staying here would only be a burden to Li Wei, so it was better to hide in a safe place and cheer Li Wei on.

Li Wei and the fat man had the same idea, but instead of retreating, they ran forward.

The Ancient Fire Spider hissed and suddenly spat out a spider web, but this web was entirely composed of fire threads. Without turning his head, Lord Wang pounced on the ground, barely dodging the attack. The Flame Spider instantly enveloped a boulder, and in no time, the boulder was burned into a pool of molten lava.

"So domineering! That Flame Spider must not be touched." Li Wei unleashed 'Ink Dragon's Protection' almost instantly. Facing an S1-level opponent, he could not afford to be careless in the slightest, so Li Wei used his strongest move right from the start.

Sensing the powerful aura of the Ink Dragon, the Ancient Fire Spider let out a series of hisses and spat out several fiery spider webs. The Ink Dragon seemed to be somewhat wary of the fiery webs, so it used the Blackstone Hand to summon a huge rocky hand to block in front of it.

Pfft

The fiery spiderweb landed on the Blackstone Hand, bursting out bursts of heat. In just a moment, most of the Blackstone Hand was corroded, turning into a pool of lava.

"Impressive!" Li Wei didn't dare to delay and quickly formed hand seals to unleash the Sword-Control Art.

This monster is immune to all six types of magic, so using Finger Thunder is useless. He can only use the purest physical attacks. Currently, Li Wei only has a few of the strongest physical attacks he can use: 'Cloud Piercing Palm', 'Shockwave Fist', 'Sword Aura', and 'Myriad Sword Technique'. Among them, the Ten Myriad Sword Technique is the most powerful. Fortunately, Li Wei prepares a large number of useless iron swords for each mission, and for convenience, he stores these iron swords in his mouth.

With a swift exhale, a flash of light appeared, and instantly thousands of longswords surrounded Li Wei. This Myriad Sword Technique a unique move of the Mount Shu sect, its power directly proportional to the strength of the user. A strong individual could wield tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of iron swords simultaneously, unleashing a devastating and unstoppable force. Even a mountain peak would be unable to withstand the sharpness of hundreds of thousands of iron swords and would be leveled to the ground. Li Wei's current true energy was already at its limit in wielding thousands of iron swords, but even these thousands of iron swords exuded a menacing aura and overflowing with domineering power.

"Spin!" Taking advantage of the entanglement between the Ink Dragon and the Ancient Fire Spider, Li Wei stretched out one hand and forcefully spun it in the air. The thousands of longswords around him seemed to come alive and began to spin rapidly. As Li Wei's arm spun faster and faster, the thousands of longswords slowly transformed into a sword dragon, emitting a crackling metallic sound.

Imagine putting a thousand razor blades into a washing machine. If you were caught in this storm of blades, even the strongest body would be shredded to pieces.

The excessive use of true energy left Li Wei somewhat pale, but it was worth the effort to achieve a fatal blow. Otherwise, a prolonged battle with that enormous Ancient Fire Spider in this place would likely have been disastrous.

The gusts of wind generated by the spinning of thousands of longswords had already scratched the surrounding rocks with fine sword marks. Li Wei knew this was the moment, so he stopped spinning his arm and pointed at the Ancient Fire Spider in the distance. Instantly, the enormous 'sword dragon' roared and charged towards it.

"Ink Dragon, retract!" Li Wei panted heavily as he retracted the Ink Dragon. At the same time, the Ancient Fire Spider, unable to dodge due to its enormous size, was also struck by the Myriad Sword Technique.

Suddenly, a piercing sound rang out, like countless sword blades cutting through hard metal. The Ancient Fire Spider only had time to spew out a web of flames before its shell was breached by thousands of longswords. Instantly, scalding blood and internal organs gushed out. Like a meat grinder, the thousands of longswords pierced through the Ancient Fire Spider's body and slammed heavily into a distant wall, creating a crater five or six meters in diameter before finally stopping.

In Li Wei's eyes, each longsword could only deal about 80 points of damage, which was nothing compared to the Ancient Fire Spider's 30,000 health points. However, no matter how much health it had, it couldn't withstand the combined attack of thousands of longswords. So, with just one strike, the S1-level Ancient Fire Spider was killed on the spot.

Li Wei was also exhausted at this point, and he sat down on the ground with a thud. Just then, he saw Lord Wang, who had escaped death, running over to him and thanking him profusely.

The fat man, who had already escaped into the passage, turned back upon seeing this.

"Brother Li, I truly admire you. Your moves are all incredibly powerful, especially the one where you unleash ten thousand swords at once—it's absolutely awesome! I'll follow you from now on!" With that, he ran over and picked up the items dropped by the Ancient Fire Spider. However, he didn't intend to keep them for himself and handed them directly to Li Wei.

Li Wei glanced at the 'Basic and Intermediate Fire Magic Skill Book' and then put them away.

He then gave the fat man a wink, and the fat man understood immediately, immediately asking the rescued Lord Wang about the situation.

Lord Wang was clearly terrified, and he spoke haltingly, but he still managed to recount what had happened.

It turned out that after the fat man insisted on leaving, they went to the fire-type tomb together. Since Lord Wang was a fire mage, he naturally chose the tomb where he could get fire-type set pieces of the 'Mage Set'.

Little did they know that this 'Mage's Tomb' was not the one they had come to before. After entering the tomb chamber, their escape route was blocked. Then, a monster crawled out of the stone coffin and killed one of Lord Wang's subordinates. The remaining people joined forces to kill the monster and reached the lair of the Flame Spider. They then discovered that there was no path there, only countless Flame Spider. So, after another person died, they retreated and finally found the passage hidden under the stone coffin.

Who knew that upon arriving here, they would encounter the Ancient Fire Spider again, and apart from City Lord Wang, all the other reincarnators died.

After listening to Lord Wang's account, Li Wei and the fat man exchanged glances, both clearly showing a hint of doubt.

Immediately, Li Wei and the fat man burst into laughter, laughing until they were breathless. This left Lord Wang, standing to the side, looking completely bewildered. He had no idea what had caused these two to laugh so wildly.

"You must be wondering why I want to laugh, right?" Li Wei suddenly said to Lord Wang.

The latter nodded and asked, puzzled, "Yes, what's so funny?"

At this moment, Li Wei's right eye suddenly shot out streams of black silk, engulfing the unsuspecting Lord Wang.

"Your acting is terrible. You're 1000 years too early to fool your grandfather!" Li Wei shouted, and immediately unleashed his Devouring Ability.

Lord Wang was shocked and tried to escape, but the black silk had already wrapped around him, and at this point, no matter how powerful he was, he could not get rid of it.

His arm was the first to be crushed. At this moment, Lord Wang was still crying out and begging Li Wei not to do this, but Li Wei remained unmoved. Seeing this, Lord Wang's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy.
