Chapter 63: Hand over all the rewards, who are you threatening?
As the barrier was completely shattered, the atmosphere among the spectators reached a boiling point.
It wasn't just the shock of Leng Yanran's strength, which managed to destroy the formation with a single finger, that enthralled them. More so, it was the excitement that surged within them.
Among them, ninety-nine percent of the people couldn't pass through the outermost assessment. Now that the grand formation had been entirely shattered by Leng Yanran, didn't that mean they had a chance to participate in the second stage?
Moreover, in this assessment of the Scarlet Cloud Immortal Palace, every stage they cleared rewarded them. Even if they couldn't reach the end and obtain the immortal's legacy, receiving the rewards from the first stage was still a pleasant surprise.
"This... A portable formation disk with such immense enhancement power?"
Wang Yan, standing beside, was stupefied. He pointed stiffly at the formation disk in Leng Yanran's hand and turned to Li Shenruo, bewildered.
Portable amplification formation disks were nothing new to him as a genius from the Eastern Region. However, how could a cultivator at the Seventh Layer of the Profound Realm erupt with the power of the Annihilation Realm using such a device? Was this even logical?
Li Shenruo, observing Wang Yan's stunned expression, merely rubbed her forehead slightly. She felt like she was losing face in front of all these Northern Region cultivators.
But then she recalled her own astonishment when she learned that this formation disk was of Heaven-Tier. Her shock was no less than Wang Yan's, so she chose to pretend she hadn't heard Wang Yan's comment.
Leng Yanran paid little attention to the astonishment of the crowd. Upon witnessing the collapse of the grand formation, she retracted the formation disk, allowing a vast amount of spiritual energy to once again flow freely in this realm.
As the spiritual energy ebbed and surged, none of the observers realized that upon the teleportation array at the entrance to the secret realm, a resounding "crack" had widened the fissure caused by Chen Daoyuan's actions.
Just as Leng Yanran stepped into the second-stage assessment area, a reward materialized in her hand.
"Hmm? We get rewards for entering the second stage too?"
Leng Yanran was a little surprised as she examined the reward in her hand. It was a Profound-grade treasure, a rare find even in the Northern Region.
However, she casually stored it away in her spatial pouch. Seeing Leng Yanran enter the second stage and receive a reward, the crowd couldn't contain their excitement any longer. One by one, they entered the second stage area.
His voice, imbued with spiritual power, resonated in the ears of everyone on the square.
Instantly, the ecstatic expressions of those who had just received their rewards froze. Some quickly stowed away their treasures, pretending not to have heard, and nonchalantly looked around without acknowledging the figure in the sky.
"Why should we? These rewards were granted to us by the secret realm, not something we snatched. Why should we give them to you?"
"That's right! These rewards are given by the Scarlet Cloud Immortal, so why should we hand them over to you? Who are you?"
"Don't look at me. I didn't receive any rewards just now. The items in my storage pouch were brought in from outside."
"Who cares if I hand them over or not? I don't believe he can kill over four thousand of us, just like that!"
Apart from those who pretended not to hear or see anything, many others accused the figure in the coffin with dissatisfaction. They believed that responsibility should be shared among the masses; after all, there were more than four thousand prodigies present, representing various forces from the Northern Region.
Offending all of them would be akin to offending every major power in the Northern Region!
"Hey, hey, Miss, maybe we should just kill them all!" the figure in the coffin suggested with a mischievous grin.
"Their flesh and blood could elevate my strength by another realm. Isn't that convenient for you, miss, when it comes to achieving your goals? And besides, by killing them, not only can we obtain the rewards they just received, but their personal treasures would also belong to you. What do you think?"
Upon hearing these words, the figure in the coffin couldn't help but chuckle. Are they trying to threaten him?
As a Boundless Realm powerhouse, he was well aware of the strength of the powerhouses from the Northern Region. The most powerful among them was probably at the level of the Fifth or Sixth Layer of the Annihilation Realm. Exiting the secret realm, he alone could probably sweep through the entire Northern Region!
As for threatening that female devil, why even bother? If they wanted to die, they should choose a quicker way. Why provoke that formidable figure?
Even though the figure in the coffin is unaware of the formidable force behind Leng Yanran, if you gave him a hundred chances, he still wouldn't dare to lay a hand on her, even if the jade pendant's threat wasn't hanging over him.
With just a flick of her fingers, she could summon ten Heavenly-tier formation discs. Who would dare provoke her? His Boundless Realm is beyond inferior!
