Two terrifying corpse puppets, radiating the aura of the Extinction Realm, slowly emerged from the stone cave.
With the power of these two corpse puppets, sweeping through all the participants in this secret realm would pose no challenge at all.
However, what was unusual was that each of these two corpse puppets carried a woman on its back.
Naturally, they were Leng Yanran and Li Shenruo.
Following closely behind them was the man in the coffin, who was walking through the air behind the two women.
They were heading toward the true Scarlet Cloud Immortal Palace.
As for the other corpse puppets, the man in the coffin had sent them out to gather heavenly treasures.
"This is even stronger than the defensive array of my Sacred Mountain..."
Li Shenruo sat on the back of the Extinction Realm corpse puppet, still not fully recovered from her shock.
She kept muttering to herself the words spoken by the man in the coffin.
She couldn't understand why the portable formation disc that Leng Yanran had casually taken out was even more powerful than the defensive array of her Sacred Mountain.
Leng Yanran even had a total of ten formation discs containing Heaven level formations. If given the opportunity, using those discs to flatten the Sacred Mountain would likely not be difficult at all.
Unless she could subdue Leng Yanran before she could activate the power of the formation discs, even her Sacred Mountain would be unable to withstand it!
What shocked Li Shenruo the most, however, was something else Leng Yanran had said.
These terrifying formation discs were all casually made by her master...
They weren't even considered treasures?
What kind of being was that senior, exactly?
Could he really be an immortal?
Otherwise, she found it hard to believe that portable formation discs could reach such an unprecedented level of power.
For a moment, Li Shenruo wondered if she had made a mistake by not immediately agreeing to become that senior's disciple.
Initially, she had thought that Chen Daoxuan's strength is at the Boundless Realm, similar to the elders of her Sacred Mountain.
But now it was clear that she had been completely wrong!
That senior's strength far exceeded the Boundless Realm—he was stronger than the elders of the Sacred Mountain!
Throughout the journey, Li Shenruo was lost in her thoughts, while Leng Yanran meditated with her eyes closed, focusing on cultivation.
Determined to one day become strong enough to help her master, she didn't want to waste a single moment.
With the two Extinction Realm corpse puppets and the Boundless Realm man escorting them, the two women encountered no trouble on their journey and progressed smoothly.
...
On the plaza in front of the grand hall of the Scarlet Cloud Immortal Palace, thousands of prodigies from the Northern Region were gathered.
Even Wang Yan, a genius from the Eastern Region, was among them.
In fact, Wang Yan had been the first to arrive at the Immortal Palace's plaza.
"Strange, that demonic woman and Saintess Li entered the secret realm earlier than I did. Why haven't I seen them yet?"
Wang Yan had scanned the crowd several times but couldn't find the two women, and his curiosity grew.
Meanwhile, the assessment for the inheritance of the Scarlet Cloud Immortal Palace was already underway.
The first challenge was to break through the outermost array barrier.
Scarlet Cloud Master, the master of the palace, had designed the array with the consideration that all participants were cultivators at the Profound Sky Realm. Thus, the array wasn't extremely powerful, being merely a top-tier Profound level formation.
But for those at the Profound Sky Realm, this was already enough to deter 99% of the participants.
After all, unless one could unleash power exceeding the Ninth Layer of the Unity Realm, breaking through a top-tier Profound level formation by force would be impossible.
The only other method was to find a loophole in the operation of the formation's inscriptions and enter through it.
Naturally, everyone chose the latter method of finding a loophole.
Scarlet Cloud Master had even set up a rule within the formation to prevent cheating through external aids. Even if one managed to forcibly break the array using a jade pendant imbued with divine powers, it would not count!
Wang Yan could only focus on observing the operation of the array.
Suddenly, the crowd erupted into shouts of alarm, and many people began crying out and fleeing in panic.
Wang Yan, disturbed from his concentration, frowned in annoyance and turned to see what was happening.
What he saw shocked him so much that he, too, wanted to run like everyone else!
Two monstrous creatures, fully exposing their Extinction Realm auras, were swaggering toward them!
"Whoa!"
"What the heck, how are there two Extinction Realm monsters here?!"
Wang Yan's legs trembled.
Although he didn't understand why these two creatures had appeared, he wasted no time in fleeing.
As for the other prodigies from the Northern Region, they were already scrambling to escape in fear when they saw the Extinction Realm monsters.
Some were so frightened that their legs gave out, making it impossible for them to run!
"Wait, look! There seem to be two people on the backs of those monsters!"
Someone with sharp eyes pointed to the backs of the two creatures and shouted loudly.
The crowd paused, following the direction of the person's finger. Sure enough, they saw two figures sitting atop the monsters!
Extinction Realm monsters were undoubtedly native to this secret realm. Could they be part of the immortal inheritance trial as well?
But the crowd quickly noticed something else—the two terrifying monsters, though powerful, didn't seem to have any intention of attacking them.
They were merely walking toward the center of the plaza.
As the monsters approached, the crowd finally saw the figures on their backs clearly.
"Fairy Leng?!"
"And the other one, isn't she the Saintess from the Eastern Region?"
"Wait, how is it fair that they get to participate in the trial with Extinction Realm mounts?!"
"Are you stupid? Extinction Realm creatures can't enter the secret realm's teleportation array. These two monsters must already have been here in the secret realm!"
"Does that mean they tamed Extinction Realm beasts inside the secret realm?"
"That's even scarier!"
Everyone started speculating in awe about how the two women had managed to subdue Extinction Realm beasts.
Because the beasts were so brazenly displaying their power, no one even noticed the green-skinned figure following behind them.
Leng Yanran gracefully leaped from the back of the beast, indifferent to the crowd's astonishment.
She casually glanced at the assessment rules written in the center of the plaza and walked straight toward the array.
Li Shenruo quickly followed after her, jumping down as well.
As for the two beasts, they stayed put. The crowd, seeing that the creatures weren't attacking, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fairy, what is going on here?" Wang Yan, seeing the two women approach, hurried over, glancing nervously at the beasts, and cautiously asked.
Leng Yanran frowned.
She had always felt disgust toward men aside from her master, so she ignored him and headed toward the barrier.
Wang Yan could only chuckle awkwardly to hide his embarrassment, turning his curious gaze to Li Shenruo, hoping she would explain things, given that they were both from the Eastern Region.
