In times of difficulty, one has no choice but to bow their head.
The man in the coffin felt utterly bitter at this moment.
For thousands of years, no matter which genius entered this place, they were always so terrified by him that they knelt and begged for mercy. Yet, in the end, they still died by his hand and became nourishment for him.
But this time, he was forced to kneel and beg for mercy by a mere junior at the Profound Sky Realm. Worse yet, he had to swallow the jade pendant she gave him, placing his life and death entirely under her control!
But what could he do? The girl held a Heaven level attack formation disc in her hand. If he so much as uttered a word of refusal, he had no doubt she would flatten the place and reduce him to ashes!
After thousands of years of careful planning, just when he was on the verge of success, this unexpected disaster struck.
"If you had cooperated like this from the start, things would've been easier. Once you swallow it, I'll help you break the restriction."
Leng Yanran stopped pushing him when she heard him agree.
After leaving a strand of her own energy in the jade pendant, she casually tossed it in front of him.
Under her watchful gaze, the man in the coffin obediently swallowed the jade pendant, his face filled with bitterness.
Now, his life was completely in Leng Yanran's hands. With just a thought, she could end his life at any moment. Even if they left the secret realm, if she changed her mind, he would have no way to resist!
'Did she just… subdue a Boundless Realm expert?'
Li Shenruo stood to the side, dumbfounded.
A Boundless Realm expert was powerful enough to sweep through all the forces in the Northern Region with ease!
Even in the Eastern Region, a Boundless Realm cultivator would be considered a great figure, capable of founding their own sect!
And yet, such an expert had been so easily subdued by Leng Yanran, who was two minor realms below her!
For a moment, Li Shenruo felt like she was dreaming—none of this seemed real.
"Lady, isn't it time you helped break the restriction now?"
The man in the coffin, feeling aggrieved, looked at Leng Yanran with anticipation.
His gaze fell on the formation disc in her hand, and he assumed she planned to use its Heaven level power to blast apart the stone cave.
But Leng Yanran's next move made his pupils shrink in shock.
He saw her nod slightly at his words and then reach for her storage pouch again.
In an instant, another formation disc appeared in her hand—this one also containing a Heaven level formation!
Hiss!!!
'There's another one of these treasures? Thank goodness I didn't foolishly fight her…'
'But this one holds a restriction formation. What's she going to do with it?'
Shocked as he was, the man in the coffin was also puzzled. He couldn't understand why Leng Yanran had pulled out a restriction formation. Did she plan to use one restriction to counter another? Could restrictions negate each other?
Besides, with his life already in her hands, surely she wouldn't strengthen the restriction to trap him further, would she?
"I've got too many formation discs, and they all look alike. I grabbed the wrong one…"
Leng Yanran muttered quietly.
'What the—?!'
'There's more of them?!'
The man in the coffin felt his worldview shattering. In his mind, these formation discs were treasures even the sacred lands couldn't easily produce. But from Leng Yanran's tone, it seemed like she had more than just two of them!
Leng Yanran's next move confirmed his suspicion.
She tapped her storage pouch again.
A whole stack of formation discs appeared, ten in total, piled up in her hands.
Casually, she pulled out one formation disc and put the remaining nine back into her pouch.
"..."
"Uh, can I ask, is the world outside this advanced now?"
"Did you buy all these formation discs in bulk or something?"
The man in the coffin stood frozen in place, his lips trembling as he nervously asked, "Has the outside world become so terrifying nowadays?"
If the outside world had indeed become this dangerous, it might be better for him to remain in the secret realm and live out the rest of his days here.
It was just too dangerous... Heaven level formation discs seemed to be as common as cabbace now.
Leng Yanran casually explained his confusion, "Not quite. These were all made by my master. As for the outside world, besides my master, I doubt anyone else can make them."
As she spoke, she channeled her spiritual energy into the formation disc in her hand.
Suddenly, a terrifying wave of energy radiated from the formation disc.
Everyone, including the man in the coffin, Li Shenruo, and even the low-level corpse puppets, felt an overwhelming pressure that froze them in place.
It was as if the world had lost all its color, leaving only black and white in their eyes.
Following this, cracks began to appear in the space around them, radiating outward from the formation disc as if the world itself was shattering like broken glass. The cracks spread until they covered the entire stone cave before halting.
Crack—
Leng Yanran recognized the sound. It signaled that the restriction in the cave had been shattered. She then stopped the formation disc's power and casually stored it back in her pouch.
This restriction-breaking formation disc had been specially crafted by her master in case she ever got trapped in a formation or restriction. In fact, when she wiped out the Luo Heaven Sect last time, she had only used defensive and restrictive formations. The others hadn't even been touched!
'What just happened?'
'Was that… all it took to break it?'
The man in the coffin was astonished.
The restriction he had schemed for thousands of years to break had been undone in an instant.
He didn't know whether to be happy or utterly demoralized.
"Howterrifying!"
"The power this formation just displayed… it's likely comparable to a high-grade Earth level formation!'
Li Shenruo, finally snapping out of her shock, was filled with disbelief. The strength of these portable formation discs far surpassed her understanding.
"Pfft—"
"Earth level?!"
The man in the coffin couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
What kind of joke was this? If it had been a mere Earth level formation, he might have had a chance to resist. Why would he have knelt so easily?
"Why are you laughing, senior?"
Li Shenruo frowned, confused by the sudden outburst from the man in the coffin.
"Nothing, I just couldn't help it."
"It's amusing that someone would mistake the only portable Heaven level formation disc in existence for a mere Earth level one. Truly laughable."
The man in the coffin calmed himself and casually explained.
"He-Heaven level?!"
"You're kidding, right? Even the defensive grand formation on our sacred mountain is only low-grade Heaven level!"
"You're telling me this portable formation contains a formation comparable to that?"
Li Shenruo was dumbstruck, unable to process what she was hearing.
But then again, the man in the coffin had no reason to deceive her...
"If the defensive formation on your so-called sacred mountain is low-grade Heaven level, then you're clearly mistaken."
"The formation in this disc is close to high-grade Heaven level. So, to be clear, it doesn't just compare to your sacred mountain's defense—it completely overwhelms it."
The man in the coffin glanced at Li Shenruo, irritated by her naivety, but continued explaining nonetheless.
He didn't want to be the only one here utterly stunned, as if he, a Boundless Realm expert, was some bumpkin. He needed to drag Li Shenruo down with him!
