Li Yao pushed open the massive doors, stepping into the tomb's inner chamber. Behind her lay the carnage of her journey—thousands of monster corpses scattered across the stone floor. She moved cautiously through the entrance, her keen senses immediately noting the stark contrast between this chamber and the monster-infested corridors she had fought through.
The chamber stretched before her, surprisingly devoid of threats. Despite the dim lighting, her enhanced cultivation allowed her to clearly see every detail of the space.
[This place appears to be the main area of the tomb, so it's understandable that it was well secured,] the Empress spoke.
Li Yao's brow furrowed in thought. "The eastern continent isn't all that rich in spiritual energy. How could it have produced a Tribulation realm expert?"
[They came here after reaching the Tribulation stage,] the Empress replied matter-of-factly.
"Oh, that makes sense," Li Yao nodded.
