The same mountain cave.
However, this cave is much larger.
Over twenty meters high and forty to fifty meters wide, the entire cave twists and turns, bottomless, as if it has hollowed out the whole mountain.
At the bottom of the cave, in a massive nest.
A giant beast, over thirty meters long from head to tail, emitting a golden glow, lies on the ground. Its body is covered with dense blunt spikes, its ferocious head features interlocking dagger-like fangs, and two fiery red horns like those of an ox pierce straight into the sky.
On its back grows a row of green spikes resembling dorsal fins.
At this moment, it exudes an aura of sacred majesty, with endless energy flowing over it, causing numerous rocks to tremble violently, float, and occasionally discharge thick arcs of electricity, crackling with sound.
It is at its final juncture...
...
It has lived countless ages, so long that it can't remember precisely.
