As soon as the lone cultivators are a considerable distance away, the massive humanoid statue begins to crack. Jagged fissures spread across its surface, and with a series of resounding snaps, the stone facade crumbles away, revealing the flesh of a monstrous humanoid beast within. The creature's eyes gleam with malevolent intelligence, and it lets out a roar that reverberates through the clearing.
The sect masters and clan leaders, along with their forces, collectively take a deep breath, steeling themselves against the palpable terror that sweeps over them. A violent aura emanates from the beast, washing over the entire assembly and making many of the lone cultivators want to flee, but their legs feel like jelly from the overwhelming fear.
One clan master, unable to contain his frustration and fear, curses loudly. "That's a fucking peak Heaven's Gate beast!"
Seeing the true nature of their opponent, Kuro turns to the other town lords. "Should we go now?"
