The entire hall shook as the flaming statues reawakened, each radiating waves of scorching heat, their power and numbers much higher than last time. Their blazing eyes locked onto the group of cultivators, pure killing intent emanating from them. With a collective roar, the statues lunged forward, torrents of flame and stone raining down on their foes.

Cain gripped the Spear of Doom tightly, his gaze sweeping over the battlefield. The rest of the team tensed beside him, weapons drawn, energies flaring. Within seconds, the hall erupted in a storm of thunderous clashes and fiery bursts.
