Chapter 31: Narrow Escapes and... Thirty More?

When everyone saw Leng Yanran suddenly throw the jade pendant towards Luo Heaven Sect's protective array, the disciples of the sect showed no signs of worry. Their protective array was a top-grade Earth-rank formation; even a cultivator in the Ascendant Realm wouldn't be able to break it easily!

How could a technique concealed within a jade pendant possibly shake it?

However, as the jade pendant cracked open, revealing the technique hidden within, a terrifying aura engulfed the area, spanning hundreds of miles.

A small heavenly monument appeared, and it continued to grow until it reached a height of three thousand zhang (about 9,000 meters) before finally stabilizing!

The heavenly monument depicted vivid and ferocious demon appearances. Even though it was clearly an inanimate object, everyone present felt as if they were being stared at by those ten ferocious demon faces!

The horrifying aura emitted from the heavenly monument made it difficult for everyone to breathe. Cultivators below the Transcendent Realm were unable to withstand the fear, falling to their knees.

Even Transcendent Realm experts found their legs trembling, and while Return to Void Realm cultivators were slightly better off, their backs were already soaked in cold sweat, with droplets continually dripping from their foreheads!

But the most shocked were Luo Wu, the master of Luo Heaven Sect, and Yang Chun, who stood on the square. As Annihilation Realm cultivators, they felt the terrifying power most keenly!

This attack was at least something that a peak Annihilation Realm expert could unleash, and the grade of this technique was at least Heavenly-rank!

How could such a technique appear in the barren Northern Region? This was impossible!

"Hurry, pour your spiritual energy into the formation! Together, withstand this attack! This technique is no ordinary matter!!!"

The first to react were the elders of Luo Heaven Sect, who promptly called on the numerous disciples to channel all their abundant spiritual energy into the protective array.

As the heavenly monument was fully formed, it descended violently upon Luo Heaven Sect's protective array.

"Boom, rumble—"

"Crack... crack—"

As the three-thousand-zhang tall monument filled with a menacing aura descended, the protective array of Luo Heaven Sect began to reveal cracks.

Thankfully, that strike wasn't directed at him! It was simply too terrifying; such techniques should only exist in sacred cultivation grounds.

To nearly destroy Luo Heaven Sect's protective array with a single strike! He couldn't believe the opponent would have another life-saving trump card to use!

The power of that attack, which was at the ninth level of the Annihilation Realm, made the value of this jade pendant immeasurable.

Even if he used all of Luo Heaven Sect's assets, he might not be able to exchange for one! He refused to believe the other side could bring out a second one.

"Tsk, as I told you earlier, sparing your life was only so you can witness Luo Heaven Sect's annihilation. However, your sect's array managed to withstand one of my attacks, which impresses me..."

Leng Yanran observed everyone's reactions and saw that they all thought she couldn't produce a second jade pendant. Well, she wouldn't be polite anymore. As her Master said, leave no one alive, obliterate them all!

However, she was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Luo Heaven Sect to block that attack with their protective array.

But then, she understood that the attacks contained within the jade pendant were just her Master's abilities at the Qi Condensation stage. How many realms had her Master's techniques crossed?

Qi Condensation, Qi Sea, Sky, Transcendent, Return to Void, Annihilation... Leng Yanran was almost losing count!

Without hesitation, she patted her waist pouch again. This time, Leng Yanran didn't plan to take her time. She instantly took out thirty jade pendants, each containing powerful techniques represented by heavenly monuments.

As for the fifty pendants containing the Demonic Finger technique, they were more suitable for individual attacks rather than overwhelming firepower, so she wasn't in a rush to use them.

The thirty jade pendants, identical to the one seen earlier, floated around Leng Yanran's waist like a jade belt, enhancing her demonic appearance with the black-robed attire and two horns on top of her head.

To the onlookers, she seemed like a devil incarnate!

"Th-Thirty...thirty of them! Are you kidding!? The terrifying technique from earlier, and she has thirty of them!?"

"Just one strike nearly shattered Luo Heaven Sect's protective array. If she hurls all thirty of them, won't it flatten the entire mountain peak!?"

Seeing the long row of jade pendants, everyone felt their heads rush, losing the ability to think.

The only thought in their minds was to escape—far, far away!!!
