Yan Chen and Zhao Jianshi arrived in front of the tower's entrance. The former's body was billowing with azure energy dotted by blossoming lotus while the former had his frame decked in crimson energy with his blade also taking in the same color.

Its grotesque form of a patchwork of writhing muscle and sinew made them recall those from the Evil Factions who loved to create monstrosities from their experiments.
Nevertheless, this was another thing entirely. Its eyeless face turned toward them as a gaping maw splitting open to reveal rows of jagged, bone-like teeth.
