Nashughed. He was about to attack when he heard rustling.
There were countless deathworms and crimson-lined leeches, packed tight and slithering on the stone
walls around him. There were also several bizarre crustacean -like creatures packed in with them.
Soon, the walls on all sides were covered with poisonous insects that resided in these tombs. His skin
crawled with unease as he watched these deadly creatures nket the walls.
Meanwhile, Heidi had reached the innermost circles of tiles. The pressure was immense as she
needed to choose the final tile. Her forehead was drenched in sweat.
The tiles in the innermost circles were the most dangerous and the most powerful as per the design of
the 18 Rings of Doom. Activating a mechanism here would not only prevent them from opening the
main tomb chamber but also endanger Melody and Finn, who were behind her.
Finn and Melody noticed the poisonous creatures crawling down the rock wall and felt shivers shoot
down their spines.
“Heidi, make your choice quickly. We’re running out of time,” Finn urged, his voiceced with
desperation.

At this moment, the Undead Corpse King had already sensed the presence of the people approaching
his nesting area.
He let out an angry roar and charged.
Nash immediately pushed his speed to the limit to reach the cosmos diagram. He swung his sword
fiercely at the Undead Corpse King, but the creature barely moved and just casually swatted Nash
aside.
Unable to stop the Undead Corpse King, Nash shouted urgently, “Hurry up, you guys!”
Heidi had to risk her life. Eyes shut tight, she took a leap of faith and activated the final tile that was the
size of a fingertip, selecting Leopole.
The sound of gears turning echoed through the room, and the others tensed, fearing they had activated
a trap. However, no mechanism was triggered, and the eight chains connected to the bronze coffin
began to extend.
The bronze coffin slowly descended, and the cosmos diagram tiles stopped moving.
“Go into the coffin and get to the next level!” said Bradley.
“We have no choice. We must hurry!” added Anders, his voice trembling.
The coffin descended rapidly, and the group jumped inside when it reached the same level as the
ground. Nash was still locked in a fierce battle with the Undead Corpse King.
His strength had greatly diminished after he spewed blood from his mouth, but defeating him remained
a formidable challenge.
The Undead Corpse King knocked Nash back with a punch and immediately rushed toward the coffin.
Nash took out a handful of talismans and threw them. He channeled his true energy, igniting the
talismans.
Dozens of them burned and unleashed lightning bolts and mes that were aimed at the Undead
Corpse King. However, despite them being high-level talismans, they were ineffectual against the
Undead Corpse King.
However, they did manage to slow him down. The Undead Corpse King roared in anger, the insects
moved even faster.
and
A massive coffin lid, about half a meter thick, fell from the ceiling above the bronze coffin.
Ignoring the mes on his body, the Undead Corpse King sprinted toward the coffin. Nash got there
first and dived under the coffin just as the lid was about tond on the ground.
The Undead Corpse King managed to squeeze one hand in, but the bronze lid severed it cleanly. His
seemingly invulnerable body seemed to be soft under the bronze lid.
Dark putrid blood oozed down the inner wall of the coffin, filling the air with a foul odor. It almost caused
the people nearby to faint.
Nash sat cross-legged on the ground, his right hand swollen several times its size and turning bluish-
purple. Melody crouched beside him, full of worry. She asked, “Your hand…”
Nash was drenched in sweat, his face devoid of color. He turned to Xeno and said, “Get the silver
sprouts from my bag.”
