398 Chapter 390: The apocalypse behind the door! (1/2)

Elder Lin recalled the first time he tried to open the iron door, and it took him 24 days in total in order to decipher the runic formation to finally unravel its lock!

However, since he was now familiar with it, at most, it would just take him a few hours to open it again.

But what has his empty eye sockets just witnessed? The lock was opened in an instant by the other party stomping his right foot on it!

Holy-Molly!

Was his interpretation on the lock actually wrong all these time and he opened them using the most difficult way?

But who the heck would let an important iron door this huge, to keep away people from entering, be opened by stomping one's foot on the lock?

That's just ridiculous!

Seeing that Elder Lin's jaw had dropped to the ground as if his lover had come back to life, Duan Li explained, ”The key to unlock it is really by just stomping down your right foot on it... It's written there..” he said and pointed to the runic formation.

”Ah?” Elder Lin came over and observed the runic formation once more to scrutinize every detail, but even if he could grow his eyes back and add ten more eyes on his forehead like a spider, he still wouldn't be able to see any jacksh*t at all!

After all, Duan Li had only said that to hide the fact that his Tetra Soul Sense was the one that told him the method!

Otherwise, had it been anyone else that told him the key to unlock the door was actually like that, he wouldn't believe them even if his dong'er was slapped!

The person who made the lock sure is eccentric... Crude but effective..

Who could have guessed?

Clank! Clank!

The sound of mechanism of some sort doing its work echoed in the underground cave as the huge iron door slowly opened.

Boom!

Hissss!

When the door was finally opened wide, the crowd sucked in cold breath feeling nervous. They walked in slowly and prepared themselves for anything that might come their way.

Additionally, the path was dark, and a suffocating sensation seemed to be pressing on everyone's chest to the point that no one talked along the way.

After a short walk, they finally came to the end of the path which was a massive opening like a sinkhole straight to the underworld!

Looking around, they squinted their eyes to try and see the edges as well as the extent of depth of this pit, but it was futile as it was way too dark!

This was despite everyone's sharp eyes as cultivators, and they were still unable to see anything at all which made them even more nervous!

Just how deep is this pit?

”So its really...” Duan Li suddenly said after looking down the hole, his voice grim. Different than everyone else, his Tetra Soul Sense has many uses, and among them was that he could see in the darkness as if it was outside in the sun!

Not even a fire torch could let me see what is down there..

Elder Cheng Chao was also surprised. Despite being a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, she was still not able to see what was inside the pit even after using her soul sense, but the other party was able to!

The Jiu Imperial Overseer is truly something else! What a terrifying man!

This also strengthened Elder Lin's positive view on Duan Li. After all, being a Lich, his eyesight sense works differently than the living, and darkness was of no issue to him so he could already see everything.

Huu!

In an instant, Duan Li turned into several after images and executed some light punches which exploded into several bright goublets of fire, lifting the previous darkness to become as bright as day!

Everyone could finally see.

And they were not prepared!

”What... What in the world is that?!” Princess Meixiu and her expedition party gasped at what they saw, and some even fell on their bottom in shock!

It was unlike anything they had ever witnessed nor imagined!

A colossal monster crab with at least 2000 meters in height and width of about 5000 meters..

Now, they know why they can't see the bottom of the pit..

It was because the pit was extremely deep due to the size of the monster in it!

Furthermore, even if one could see it, how would they be able to make anything out of it without being able to witness the entire body?

From where they stood, the monster looked nothing more than a mountain peak!

”Million years old Hermit King, Crastesauros!” Duan Li said, his fists clenched tight.

Elder Lin was surprised to hear that Duan Li know of the name of the monster. This was because even he himself did not know despite the vast amount of knowledge he had accumulated throughout the years!

”I see.. so that is its name..” He nodded.
