Facing the terrifying Luo Tian Grand Palm coming her way, Leng Yanran stood still, gazing at Sect Master Luo with cold eyes.
It was as if she had been paralyzed by the overwhelming pressure, losing the ability to escape.
The many onlookers, cultivators watching the scene, sighed. Leng Yanran's fate seemed sealed. Even an ordinary cultivator at the Extinction Realm wouldn't dare take such an attack head-on, let alone Leng Yanran, who was only at the Profound Sky Realm.
Soon, she would likely be smashed into pieces, her body completely obliterated with no remains to be found.
"Such divine might from the Sect Master!"
"A mere Profound Sky Realm cultivator dares to challenge our Luo Heaven Sect? Foolish!"
"To witness the Sect Master use the sect's Divine Technique with my own eyes... My life is complete!"
The disciples of the Luo Heaven Sect were glowing with excitement, as if they were already witnessing their sect master's overwhelming victory.
Some disciples even gained insights from the technique personally displayed by Sect Master Luo, their hearts full of excitement. After today's event, they planned to enter seclusion to further their cultivation.
Even the elders, who were in Unity Realm, intently watched the execution of the "Luo Tian Grand Palm." Despite their strength, even they could not help but gain insights from the Sect Master's performance—an opportunity not often available!
After all, Sect Master Luo, as the Sect MAster of one of the four great sects in the Northern Region, rarely showed his power. In fact, he hadn't displayed it publicly in the last ten years!
"Tsk, this guy's cultivation has progressed a lot," muttered Sect Master Yang Chun, narrowing his eyes slightly as he felt a sense of danger.
Even Yang Chun, if facing this attack himself, wouldn't dare take it head-on.
As for Leng Yanran, who was only at the Profound Sky Realm, her death was inevitable!
At the same time, Yang Chun spread his spiritual sense, carefully watching for any hidden experts who might intervene.
Finally, the Luo Tian Grand Palm landed on Leng Yanran—or rather, on the barrier in front of her.
Everyone had dismissed the barrier, believing it couldn't withstand the attack even for a moment.
Boom—
Buzz—
A deafening explosion shook the entire Luo Heaven Sect's plaza, forcing many disciples to cover their ears, nearly having their eardrums shattered by the terrifying shockwave!
But when everyone focused their gaze, expecting to see Leng Yanran's tragic death, they were all left dumbfounded.
Their eyes widened, mouths agape enough to fit an ostrich egg inside!
"This is impossible!"
"I must be dreaming, yes, I'm definitely dreaming!"
"Why isn't Leng Yanran injured at all!?"
Leng Yanran remained cold and indifferent, staring at Sect Master Luo. The barrier in front of her had lit up with countless golden inscriptions the moment it touched the Luo Tian Grand Palm, completely absorbing and neutralizing the power of the attack!
This scene was beyond comprehension for everyone present.
Not only the rogue cultivators and disciples of the Luo Heaven Sect, but even the elders couldn't understand what had just happened. Sect Master Luo himself was stunned.
He had used his full strength in that attack, with no intention of holding back.
He knew better than anyone how terrifyingly powerful it was!
Yet the barrier absorbed it entirely?
"No, this isn't a formation—it's a defense artifact of the heavenly-grade or higher!?"
"I didn't expect your backer to be so generous, giving you such a precious heavenly-grade defensive artifact."
"However, the spiritual energy required to activate such an artifact isn't something a mere Profound Sky Realm cultivator like you can sustain!"
"Hehe, once I kill you, this treasure will be mine!"
Sect Master Luo was stunned for a moment, his mind racing through countless possibilities. Finally, his eyes lit up, and he understood everything!
There was only one possibility for such an effect—a heavenly-grade artifact!
He couldn't think of any other explanation.
However, using a heavenly-grade artifact required an immense amount of spiritual energy. Leng Yanran, a mere Profound Sky Realm cultivator, likely wouldn't be able to activate it more than a few times!
If he attacked a few more times, he could drain her spiritual energy. Once she was exhausted, the treasure would be his!
Thinking about this, Sect Master Luo couldn't help but let out a sinister smile.
Originally, he thought that after losing their chief disciple and their chance to fight for the secret realm's resources, the Luo Heaven Sect would fall behind for the next two hundred years.
But if he could obtain a heavenly-grade artifact, everything would change!
With such a treasure in hand, he could still make the Luo Heaven Sect the number one sect in the Northern Region, and he himself would become the strongest in the region!
And to think all of this was thanks to that generous mysterious benefactor!
"Gasp!"
"So that's it!"
"Who would have thought that Leng Yanran actually possesses a heavenly-grade artifact?"
"It seems that our Northern Region has never seen such a precious item before!"
"Even the four great sects can only manage earth-grade artifacts at most. Today, we've truly witnessed something extraordinary!"
Upon hearing Sect Master Luo's words, the crowd immediately had a look of sudden realization on their faces.
However, in Leng Yanran's eyes, they all looked like a bunch of fools missing part of their brains.
If they knew that the so-called heavenly-grade treasure they were all talking about was merely a portable defensive array disc that her master had casually made, who knows how they would feel!
But none of that mattered, because after today, these people wouldn't have another chance to act foolish or be amazed.
Seeing Sect Master Luo, confident and prepared to strike again, Leng Yanran finally made her move.
She lightly tapped the storage pouch at her waist, and a jade pendant appeared in her hand.
"Haha, a jade slip that stores magical powers?"
"Does she really think she can challenge the Luo Heaven Sect with something like that? I don't know whether to call her cute or just plain foolish."
The crowd burst into laughter at the sight of this.
But only one person, Leng Zhan, looked visibly excited.
He had personally witnessed the terrifying power of the jade pendant Leng Yanran was holding!
However, his face quickly stiffened. Even though that strike was powerful, the Luo Heaven Sect was a huge sect with a protective formation.
Could a single jade pendant really take it down?
"You don't need to worry, I won't kill you first."
"I want you to watch as the entire Luo Heaven Sect is wiped out in front of your eyes, and then I'll leave you to join them last."
"You vile insect, daring to slander my master and ruin his reputation!"
Leng Yanran coldly glanced at Sect Master Luo, who seemed slightly wary. She calmly informed him that this strike wouldn't be aimed at him.
With a flick of her wrist, she tossed the jade pendant toward the sect's protective array.
