How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

Upon hearing Xiao Ningyun's instructions, Lu Hou immediately went to the edge of the pool and gazed at the cliff behind the waterfall.

An aura of wildness emanated from it.

Lu Hou slowly raised its right claw, the sharp claw gleaming with a deep, cold light.

Lu Hou used its divine power, "Shattering Golden Claw," and swung its claw fiercely, instantly splitting the waterfall in two. The roaring curtain of water froze in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, this claw, carrying the terrifying power to tear apart the laws of nature, slammed heavily onto the cliff face.

"BOOM!!"

With a deafening roar, the entire Valley of Ten Thousand Demons trembled violently, and countless rocks were shattered and fell from the cliffs on both sides. The water in the pool was blasted into towering waves dozens of meters high, pouring down like a torrential rain.

Smoke and dust filled the sky, and pebbles flew everywhere. The group quickly retreated, activating their spiritual power to protect themselves.

After a long while, they opened their eyes and looked.

Then, everyone was stunned. A huge arched opening suddenly appeared on the cliff behind the waterfall.

The cave was constructed from an unknown, jet-black stone. At the cave entrance stood a pair of enormous stone statues of mythical beasts.

On the left is a giant dragon, roaring with its head raised, exuding a majestic aura.

On the right is a phoenix, wings outstretched as if about to take flight, its eyes sharp.

The two stone statues are lifelike, and despite the passage of time, they still exude an aura of majesty.

Even from this distance, everyone could sense an extremely ancient and profound aura slowly emanating from the cave entrance.

Ling Yunzhi and the others stared blankly at the cave entrance, their mouths agape, speechless for a long time.

Chen Daoxuan pointed at the cave entrance, his voice trembling as he asked, "Is...is there really something there?"

Chen Ping'an scratched his head, looking rather simple-minded. "This cliff face is really strange! Junior Sister, your eyes are amazing!"

Ling Yunzhi took a deep breath, his hand gripping the sword trembling slightly: "Could this really be... the legendary... Demon Emperor's Tomb?"

"For hundreds of thousands of years, the demon race has been searching for the Demon Emperor's tomb for hundreds of thousands of years without success, and yet... they actually found it?" Fox Qing'er was stunned, muttering to herself.

Han Bingli looked at Xiao Ningyun with a smile, ruffled his hair, and said softly, "Our little senior sister is really amazing! Even Lu Hou and Jin Xiao didn't notice, but you actually found out!"

"The reputation of having double pupils is indeed well-deserved!"

Xiao Ningyun blushed at the praise, tilted her head back and chuckled, "I just felt that the cliff was a little strange, so I took another look."

Just when everyone was shocked.

Only Jinxiao was furious. It flapped its little wings, its golden-red feathers standing on end, and its little eyes were wide open as it stared intently at the phoenix statue on the right side of the cave entrance.

"You damned roc, you've really gone too far!" Jin Xiao's voice was full of anger.

All I heard was a whoosh.

Jin Xiao's figure instantly arrived at the cave entrance, his body radiating terrifying phoenix divine fire.

"This is infuriating! My Phoenix Clan is so noble! How dare you, a mere Demon Emperor, have my Phoenix Clan guard your tomb?"

Before he could finish speaking...

Jinxiao raised its claws, and terrifying phoenix fire coiled around its golden-red claws.

With a single, powerful swipe of its claw, it pulverized the ancient phoenix statue.

When everyone saw this, they suddenly realized that Jin Xiao was so angry because this Demon Emperor had actually made the Phoenix Clan guard his tomb!

Chen Daoxuan clicked his tongue in amazement: "Good heavens... this demon emperor is too audacious! He actually made the dragon and phoenix clans guard his tomb. No wonder Jinxiao is so angry."

Han Bingli looked at Chen Daoxuan and explained, "In our Xuanhuang Continent, the Dragon and Phoenix races are extremely rare. This Great Roc Demon Emperor dominated the demon race in its era, and probably thought himself incomparably noble. Even after death, he probably felt that only the Dragon and Phoenix races were worthy of guarding his tomb!"

Upon hearing Han Bingli's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement, finding it very reasonable.

"Let's go! Let's go in and take a look." As soon as she finished speaking, Han Bingli appeared at the cave entrance.

Seeing this, the others followed closely behind to the cave entrance.

Xiao Ningyun walked to Jinxiao's side, reached out her little hand, and gently patted its body, earnestly comforting it, "Jinxiao, don't be angry! This demon emperor dared to make you phoenixes guard its tomb, so in a little while, we'll go in and steal all its treasures."

"No, it should be said that they were all taken. How can you call something stolen if no one claims it?"

Hearing his master's words, Jinxiao's little brain worked for a moment, and he immediately replied, "That's right! If it dares to make my Phoenix Clan guard its tomb, then I'll steal everything from its tomb."

Jin Xiao thought about it and it made more and more sense: "Not only will I steal all its treasures! I'm going to flip its coffin lid off too!"

With that, it flashed and returned to Xiao Ningyun's shoulder.

Seeing this, the group couldn't help but laugh.

Only Han Bingli stood at the cave entrance, carefully observing the situation inside.

On both sides of the cave entrance, there were countless statues of monsters, including a roaring ancient tiger, a coiled giant python that devours the sky, a galloping nine-tailed celestial fox, and a soaring soul-devouring bird. The monsters were all in various poses and lifelike.

Each statue is incredibly lifelike, with even the textures of scales and feathers clearly visible. It's as if they might step out of the stone statues at any moment.

Han Bingli looked at everyone, her tone somewhat serious: "Wait a moment, everyone remember to be careful."

Upon hearing Han Bingli's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Six people, two beasts, and one demon slowly walked into the cave.

The group carefully examined the stone statues on both sides, but found nothing particularly special about them.

Until the group reached the end of the cave, they saw a huge golden-winged roc statue standing in the center.

The statue is carved entirely from a dark golden stone. It is a roc with outstretched wings, eyes like lightning, claws like divine weapons, and a hooked beak. It exudes an aura of domineering power that looks down on the world.

The mere sight of the stone statue instilled an invisible sense of oppression in everyone present.

It was as if what stood before him was not a stone, but a living Golden-Winged Roc Demon Emperor.

"Is this the Great Roc... the Demon Emperor?" Chen Daoxuan murmured to himself, tilting his head back. "Even a mere statue exudes such a powerful aura of oppression; how powerful must it have been back then?"

Fox Qing'er's pretty face paled slightly, and her voice carried a hint of awe: "Yes, this is the Golden-Winged Roc Demon Emperor recorded in our clan."

The crowd examined the stone statue closely, from top to bottom, from its feathers to its claws, from its beak to its eyes, but found nothing particularly special about it.

Chen Ping'an scratched his head: "It's just an ordinary stone statue! This place doesn't look like a tomb at all; there's nothing here."

"Could the treasures be inside the stone statue?"

Chen Ping'an stepped forward and tapped on the stone statue: "Hmm? It's solid, there's nothing inside?"

Ling Yunzhi also walked around the stone statues, his brows furrowed slightly: "Strange, we've walked to the end of the entire cave, but we haven't found anything except these stone statues."

"Could it be that the true entrance to the Demon Emperor's tomb isn't here?"

But at that moment, Jin Xiao, who was standing on Xiao Ningyun's shoulder, raised his bird head and said arrogantly, "You guys are still too green."

Xiao Ningyun and Lu Hou had actually noticed something was wrong a long time ago.

She gently tugged at Han Bingli's sleeve: "Sister Bingli, that wall isn't a real wall."

Han Bingli nodded. Her Emperor Soul power also detected the anomaly when she saw the stone wall: "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, this wall is the entrance to a small world."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

"What?! An entrance to a small world?" Chen Daoxuan's eyes widened.
