Countless humanoid creatures sank into the ground, and the blood-colored veins covering the Magic Platform gradually disappeared. The towering Platinum Platform quickly regained its previous cold and deathly silence.

A few days later, within a ruined palace twenty miles away, Zhao Sheng stood behind a crumbling wall, gazing indifferently at the distant majestic Magic Platform and the "Light Point" floating in the air. His eyes lingered on that Yellow Cloud for a long time, as if he were a stone man.

Even though Emperor Jiang never showed himself, intuition told him that the other party hadn't truly left but was secretly lingering around the ruins.

The reason was unknown; perhaps out of some inexplicable fear, Emperor Jiang never dared to easily approach the Magic Platform and thus remained hesitant.

Zhao Sheng believed his "judgment" was correct and was even more convinced that Emperor Jiang and he were of the same kind.

It was merely a matter of waiting a bit longer, something he was never short of patience for.

One day,

Two days,

Three days,

...

Ten days passed in a flash.

On this day, a twist finally occurred.

Deep within the palace ruins, Zhao Sheng abruptly opened his eyes and looked westward. His gaze seemed to penetrate the thick walls, seeing one Meteor after another speeding from the horizon.

"Hmph, Gangsha... locusts!" Zhao Sheng sneered, muttering to himself.

He hadn't expected Emperor Jiang, but instead a group of Gangsha Star Lords, and no fewer than six of them.

It was a no-brainer that the leader must be that oft-dead Heavenly Authority Star Lord.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Six Meteors plummeted from the sky, crashing into the ground consecutively, sending up clouds of dust. They all landed around the Platinum Platform.

The appearance of the Gangsha Star Lords was just as arrogant as ever!

Whoosh~

Suddenly, a gust of wind howled by, blowing away the dust swirling in the sky.

In the next instant, six streaks of starlight burst from the ground, swiftly landing atop the Magic Platform, each transforming into a vibrant individual with distinct appearances.

Upon closer inspection, besides the familiar Heavenly Authority Star, Sky Tyrant Star, and Heavenly Skill Star, there was also a little monk and an old blind man.

Zhao Sheng gave a slight recollection and immediately recognized the two, identifying them as Earth Kind Star and Earth Dark Star, among the Earth Evil Star Lords.

As soon as the six Star Lords including Heavenly Authority Star arrived, they saw the Law Yellow Cloud in the sky and the "Light Point." Recognizing the "Light Point" as a Lost Cave Heaven entrance, they were instantly wild with joy.

Originally, they came to "settle old scores," but unexpectedly stumbled upon tremendous fortune; the long-lost Cave Heaven had appeared on its own.

It was truly a windfall from heaven! To not seize it would be unworthy of their "arduous" journey.

Does heaven really drop windfalls?

Of course not!

Before long, just when the Gangsha Star Lords arranged the Star Battle Formation, the Platinum Platform underwent a sudden change, red light permeated through it, and veins were reborn. The Tomb Guardians gushed out from beneath the platform, encircling and fearlessly charging at the likes of Heavenly Authority Star.

At this moment, the situation on the platform was much the same as the previous siege on Zhao Sheng and his party.

The difference was that the Gangsha Star Lords were stronger in offense but weaker in defense. The Starlight Bodies barely lasted a hundred breaths before suffering total defeat. The only outcome was killing three humanoid beings.

This time, as a bystander, Zhao Sheng saw everything clearly, further understanding the formidable strength of the Tomb Guardians.

In the Extraordinary Return to Silence Burial Immortal Ruins, with their gray stone shells and abnormally strong flesh, the Tomb Guardians were unmistakably the "nemeses" of Human Clan Cultivators.

After all, the Human Clan's flesh was relatively "fragile," much weaker than the tough and thick-skinned Demon Clan and other Alien Races.

If unable to shatter that stone shell in advance, even a Tribulation Crossing Venerable would struggle to withstand the siege of over a hundred Tomb Guardians.

Seeing Heavenly Authority Star and others suffer total defeat, Zhao Sheng made no move. He knew the Gangsha Star Lords wouldn't easily give up, especially since all that died were mere Gangsha Starlight Bodies.

As expected, Heavenly Authority Star and others soon regrouped, Meteors streaking through the sky, trailing long tails of flames, rapidly descending toward the Platinum Platform.

This time, they smartened up, starting by clearing the peripheral "small fry."

So before the Tomb Guardians appeared, War Puppets were discovered one after another and besieged by the Star Lords, with outcomes naturally predictable.

In less than a quarter of an hour, numerous Tomb Guardians suddenly emerged from the ruins, catching Heavenly Authority Star and others off guard.

As expected, the six Gangsha Starlight Bodies were wiped out once again.

This made Zhao Sheng realize that the number of Tomb Guardians might be greater than he previously anticipated, and it also became clear why Emperor Jiang didn't show himself.

As it turns out... this person had long anticipated that the Gangsha Star Lords would find this place, or perhaps he had outright "alerted" them.

Though unaware of how Emperor Jiang relayed the news to the Gangsha Star Lords, Zhao Sheng could see his objective clearly: utilizing the Gangsha Star Lords to clear out the Tomb Guardians, serving as "cannon fodder" scouting the path.

After the second total defeat, three days later.

On this day, Heavenly Authority Star and others made yet another aggressive return...

The third battle yielded significant results, not only wiping out all the War Puppets in one fell swoop but also eliminating over sixteen Tomb Guardians at once.

Most importantly, they discovered the fatal "weakness" of the Tomb Guardians—not the gray stone shell, but that the Tomb Guardians could not leave the ruins, not even a single step.
