Chapter 30: Heavenly-rank Spiritual Treasure? Leng Yanran Takes Action
Facing the terrifying Luo Tian Grand Palm coming her way, Leng Yanran stood still, gazing at Sect Master Luo Wu with cold eyes. She looked like she was frightened to the point of numbness, losing the ability to escape.
Seeing this scene, many onlookers couldn't help but sigh. Leng Yanran's fate was sealed. Even an ordinary Return to Void Realm expert wouldn't dare to confront this attack head-on, let alone a mere Transcendent Realm cultivator like her.
It was likely that she would be crushed into pieces, and not even a complete corpse would be found.
"The power of the Sect Master!"
"A mere Transcendent Realm cultivator dares to invade our Luo Heaven Sect. Truly ignorant of the gravity of the situation!"
"To witness the Sect Master displaying our sect's divine ability is a life-changing experience!"
The disciples of Luo Heaven Sect were filled with enthusiasm, as if they could already envision the scene of their Sect Master's victory. Many of them even gained some insights from watching the Sect Master's divine ability, feeling excited that they could make further progress in their cultivation after this event.
Not just the disciples, even many elders closely watched the Sect Master's use of the Luo Tian Grand Palm. Even the Return to Void Realm experts among them couldn't help but gain some insights from observing their Sect Master's personal display. Opportunities like this were truly rare!
After all, Luo Wu, the sect master of one of the four major sects in the Northern Region, rarely took action. In fact, he hadn't made a public move since the last decade!
"Tsk, this guy's cultivation has improved quite a bit!"
"Nevertheless, it doesn't matter. After this secret realm expedition, our Jin Sect will surpass the other three sects and become the unquestionable number one sect in the Northern Region!"
Yang Chun saw the power of that move and couldn't help narrowing his eyes, feeling a sense of crisis. Even he wouldn't dare to confront Luo Wu's attack head-on. As for Leng Yanran, who was just at the Transcendent Realm, her fate was doomed!
At the same time, Yang Chun expanded his divine sense as much as possible, remaining vigilant for the possible intervention of the mysterious powerhouse.
The Luo Tian Grand Palm finally landed on Leng Yanran, or more precisely, on the barrier in front of her.
No one had any illusions about that barrier; they believed it wouldn't hold for even a moment.
"Boom!"
"Buzz!"
First, a deafening sound echoed, causing many disciples on the Luo Heaven Sect's square to instinctively cover their ears, nearly rupturing their eardrums from the terrifying shockwave!
However, just as everyone fixed their gaze, expecting to witness how tragic Leng Yanran's death would be, they were all dumbfounded. Their eyes widened, and their mouths could fit an ostrich egg!
"This can't be real!"
"I must be dreaming, yes, I must be dreaming!"
"Why is Leng Yanran completely unharmed!?"
They saw Leng Yanran still looking indifferent at Luo Wu, and in front of her, the barrier lit up with countless golden inscriptions, completely neutralizing and dispersing the full force of the Luo Tian Grand Palm.
This scene was beyond everyone's comprehension. Not only the scattered cultivators, Luo Heaven Sect disciples, and elders couldn't understand it, even Luo Wu himself was dumbfounded.
He had used his full power in that palm strike, and he knew how terrifying its might was. But it had been completely absorbed and nullified by that barrier?
"No, this is not a Yellow-Rank formation, it's a Heavenly-rank or higher defensive spiritual treasure!?
"I didn't expect your backer to be so generous, willingly giving you such a precious Heavenly-rank defensive spiritual treasure."
"The amount of spiritual energy required to activate a spiritual treasure is not something a Transcendent Realm cultivator like you can sustain!"
"Hehe, as long as I kill you, this spiritual treasure will belong to me, the sect master!"
Luo Wu, momentarily stunned, pondered countless possibilities in his mind, but finally, his eyes lit up as he figured it all out!
For something with such an effect, there was only one possibility – a Heavenly-rank spiritual treasure!
He couldn't think of any other existence that could achieve this!
However, to activate a Heavenly-rank spiritual treasure, an enormous amount of spiritual energy was required. With Leng Yanran being only a Transcendent Realm cultivator, she probably wouldn't be able to activate it more than a few times!
As long as he attacked a few more times, he could exhaust her spiritual energy, and then the spiritual treasure would be his!
Thinking about this, a sinister smile appeared on Luo Wu's face.
Originally, he thought that losing the chief disciple meant they would be deprived of the resources in the Secret Realm competition, setting them back by two hundred years!
But if he could obtain a Heavenly-rank spiritual treasure, it would be an entirely different story!
With a Heavenly-rank spiritual treasure, Luo Heaven Sect could still become the number one sect in the Northern Region, and he himself would become the strongest in the region!
All of this was thanks to that mysterious person's generosity! Really magnanimous!
"Hiss!"
"So that's how it is!"
"I didn't expect Leng Yanran to possess a Heavenly-rank spiritual treasure!"
"In our Northern Region, it seems we've never seen such a precious item as a Heavenly-rank spiritual treasure!"
"Even the four major sects can only produce Earth-rank spiritual treasures at most. Today, our eyes are truly opened!"
Hearing Luo Wu's words, everyone suddenly had a look of enlightenment.
But in Leng Yanran's eyes, it was as if she was looking at a bunch of brainless fools. If they knew that what they called an invaluable Heavenly-rank spiritual treasure was nothing more than a portable defensive formation created by her master on the spur of the moment, she wondered how they would feel!
But none of that mattered anymore because after today, they probably wouldn't have any chance to act foolish or be surprised!
Seeing Luo Wu's expression of self-assurance, Leng Yanran also made a move. She lightly tapped the storage pouch at her waist, producing a jade pendant in her hand.
"Hehe, a jade scroll for storing spiritual techniques, right?"
"To think she would delude herself into opposing Luo Heaven Sect with such an item. I can't decide if she's adorable or just plain foolish."
Laughter erupted as everyone witnessed the scene.
However, one person's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. Leng Zhan had personally witnessed the terrifying power of the jade pendant that Leng Yanran possessed!
But soon after, Leng Zhan's expression froze. Despite the formidable force behind that attack, Luo Heaven Sect was a massive sect with a protective array. He feared that a single jade pendant wouldn't be enough to solve their problems.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you first. I want you to witness the complete destruction of Luo Heaven Sect before your very eyes. You'll be the last one to accompany them, the despicable worm that slandered my master!"
Leng Yanran held the jade pendant in her hand and coldly informed Luo Wu, sensing his caution. She outright told him that this attack wouldn't be directed at him!
Lifting her wrist gently, she tossed the jade pendant towards the direction of Luo Heaven Sect's protective array.
"Bzzz—"
