"Whew!" Right now, Ryan Ling finally let out a heavy breath—he'd just fully broken through to the Primordial Immortal Realm!
And this Primordial Immortal foundation was so impossibly pure, even Ryan himself couldn't believe it. No way could it have formed just from that Ancestor Immortal essence alone—he could tell that all the 'exercise' with that woman had been a huge help in breaking through. More precisely, it was that mysterious aura, that special scent released from her body.
That scent lingered in Ryan’s mind—no way it was ordinary. He was pretty sure it came straight from the Elysium Sect!
"Are—are you done yet?" The woman pinned under him just couldn’t take it anymore and blurted out.
Ryan felt a little awkward and quickly got off her, helping her up as he said, "Sorry, I got a bit too wild just now. Are you alright?"
"I'm about to die!" The woman was drenched in sweat, steam practically rising off her head—she was clearly completely blissed out.
After saying that, she swallowed hard and added, "But wow, that was way too intense. I feel like, if I can experience something like this, being a woman was totally worth it!"
Ryan just shook his head. This woman was clearly getting kind of obsessed!
He didn’t keep the topic going—instead, he hurriedly said, "Alright, get up, fix your clothes. Let’s go check out what’s happening outside!"
"Okay!" The woman glanced at Ryan, clearly still wanting more—her hand couldn’t help wandering over to grab his butt!
"Hey, what are you doing!" Ryan was speechless, almost yelping.
"Why so uptight? Just a quick squeeze!" The woman grinned—she was definitely getting bolder.
Ryan felt that once this woman got a taste, she turned into a total tigress—especially since she was from the Elysium Sect.
Ryan didn’t bother with her anymore—he just shook his head, grabbed her, and shot up to the surface. The ground was now calm as a pond; the aura from slaying that Ancestor Immortal had totally vanished!
"Quiet. Completely quiet!" Ryan took a deep breath. He was just about to say they should leave, but the woman suddenly spoke up.
"Since the Earth Tier of the War Tomb is finally quiet, why don’t we sneak over to the Heaven Tier and take a look?"
The woman couldn’t help but blurt it out—her voice was extra sweet and tinged with excitement.
Ryan nearly got numb from her tone, but thinking it over, she actually made sense. Right now was probably the safest time for them—after that huge battle, even any snooping eyes would have retreated, so the Earth Tier was as safe as it gets!
To be real, ever since Ryan entered the War Tomb, he’d been dying to see that insanely powerful Saint Immortal’s Tomb—the true core of the whole place, the strongest grave by far. Just how strong was a Saint Immortal? Ryan couldn’t even imagine. Now that he finally had the chance, of course he was going to try everything to see it—otherwise, this trip would be a total waste!
Plus, since the War Tomb was built, probably no tomb-raider had ever seen what the Saint Immortal’s Tomb actually looked like. Even if they couldn’t score any loot, just catching a glimpse from the outside would be a huge boost to their strength!
So when the woman finished talking, even Ryan couldn’t help getting fired up!
"Well?" The woman saw Ryan hadn’t answered and quickly called out again.
"Alright, alright, enough with that voice—I’ll do what you say, okay?" Ryan felt like after 'opening' this woman, she’d totally changed—inside and out, she was just electric!
"Then let’s go!" The woman smiled, clearly thinking that teasing Ryan was the best thing ever.
They didn’t hesitate—they tiptoed inside. The Earth Tier was huge, way bigger than the Yellow and Mystic Tiers put together, and packed with Ancestor Immortal corpses. Ryan wiped the cold sweat off his face; good thing he’d hidden underground earlier! If those Ancestor Immortals had spotted even a hint of him, they’d have swarmed, and he’d be dust by now!
The woman was just as shaken—seeing all those Ancestor Immortal corpses one after another, her heart trembled. The deeper they went into the Earth Tier, the more graves and the stronger the powerhouses. It was honestly unimaginable!
The two of them had been joking around before, but now they didn’t even dare breathe too loudly!
"Man, this place is just way too freaky—let’s get out of here quick, or if something goes wrong we’re toast!" The woman couldn’t help but cry out—she was honestly scared now!
"Hold up, we’ve come this far—it’d be a shame to bail now. I think the Saint Immortal’s Tomb is right nearby!" Ryan was just as tense inside, but way calmer than the woman. He could vaguely sense the tomb’s location, almost right next to them, and it was radiating a weird, unbelievably powerful holy aura—totally captivating!
That was definitely Saint Immortal qi. Ryan felt that even just getting close and taking a few breaths would skyrocket his strength again—and now that he was this close, there was no way he’d give up!
“O-okay!” The woman nodded frantically, her whole body tense with nerves—right now, Ryan’s word was law!
"Go!" Ryan didn’t waste another word—he grabbed her hand, and together they suppressed their auras to the absolute limit, turning themselves into two invisible wisps of air. The surrounding Ancestor Immortal tombs, no matter how fearsome, were beneath their notice now. Their eyes were locked on one thing only: the Saint Immortal’s Tomb!
"I-I think we’re right at the border—this must be the junction between the Earth Tier and the Heaven Tier!" The woman’s voice trembled so hard it nearly cracked—she was freaking out!
Ryan felt his heart pound—this pressure was insane! Just breathing the Saint Immortal qi here made his whole body feel like it was being purified, his Primordial Immortal foundation leveling up on the spot!
"Move—cross over!" Ryan gritted his teeth, yanked her hand, and charged straight through. That one step felt like leaping between life and death—the woman squeezed her eyes shut, terrified out of her mind. Honestly, Ryan was sweating bullets too; nobody knew what traps or monsters might be waiting inside. This was the War Tomb’s highest tier—the ultimate danger zone!
The next instant, they were standing on Heaven Tier ground. Ryan couldn’t help himself—he had to see it with his own eyes. As he opened them, he was floored: a colossal ancient tomb sprawled before him, stretching for dozens of miles, dominating the entire Heaven Tier. And unbelievably, there was only this one tomb—nothing else!
"Th-this is the legendary Saint Immortal’s Tomb?" The woman gawked, totally unable to believe her eyes. But before she finished, her legs buckled and she collapsed to her knees, muttering some strange chant—maybe the Elysium Sect had a secret connection to this place!
Ryan didn’t have time for mysteries—he stretched his senses as far as they’d go, wanting to soak up every drop of Saint Immortal aura. Just the ambient qi here was enough to make him stronger, but he knew: mess with the tomb itself and you’re dead for sure!
Even so, Ryan didn’t dare linger. This was the Saint Immortal’s Tomb! He couldn’t even handle a few Ancestor Immortals—going up against a Saint Immortal was suicide!
So he kept his distance, greedily inhaling every wisp of Saint Immortal qi that drifted out from the tomb.
But right at that moment—the ground suddenly shook! Ryan’s heart nearly stopped. He instinctively jumped back, yanking the woman up off the ground!
"Crap—something’s happening! We gotta run! Move!" Ryan shouted, panic spiking. But before they could react, the passage connecting the Earth and Heaven Tiers slammed shut with a deafening boom, trapping them right next to the Saint Immortal’s Tomb... and something even scarier seemed to be waking up beneath their feet!
