Chapter 60: Comparable to the Holy Mountain Defense Array at Lower Heaven Grade? You've Misunderstood

One has to bow under the eaves, and at this moment, the coffin man's heart was filled with bitterness. Over these thousands of years, every exceptional talent who had entered here had been scared to their knees, pleading for mercy, but in the end, they all died at his hands, becoming his nourishment.

However, this time, he was actually forced to kneel and beg for mercy by a Profound Sky Realm junior, and she even made him swallow a jade pendant containing her divine inscription. His life and death were now controlled by her!

He had no choice. The opponent was holding a Heaven-grade attack array disc. If he dared utter a single word against her wish, he had no doubt she would reduce this place to ashes, and he would turn to dust

Thousands of years of planning, now so close to success, and yet encountering such an unexpected turn of events.

"It would have been so much better if you had cooperated like this from the start. Once you consume it, I'll help you break the restriction."

Upon hearing his agreement, Leng Yanran relented. After leaving a trace of her own spiritual energy within the jade pendant, she casually tossed it in front of the coffin man.

Under her gaze, the coffin man obediently consumed the pendant, his face contorting with bitterness. Now his life was completely in Leng Yanran's hands. With just a thought, she could end him at any moment. Even if they were to leave the secret realm, he had no way to counter her if Leng Yanran changed her mind.

"Just like that, you've subjugated an expert of the Boundless Realm?" Li Shenruo was left wide-eyed.

An expert of the Boundless Realm was more than capable of sweeping away all the forces in the entire Northern Domain. Even in the Eastern Domain, an expert of the Boundless Realm was considered a powerful figure, enough to establish a sect.

Yet, such a powerhouse was easily subdued by Leng Yanran, who was two realms lower? For a moment, Li Shenruo felt like he was dreaming, finding it all too unreal.

"Miss, shouldn't you help me break the restriction now?" The coffin man looked at Leng Yanran with an aggrieved expression.

His gaze fell on the array disc in Leng Yanran's hand. He assumed Leng Yanran intended to use the Heaven-grade formation to directly shatter the cave. However, Leng Yanran's next move made his pupils constrict abruptly.

After hearing his words, Leng Yanran gave a slight nod and casually patted her waist pouch. In an instant, another array disc appeared, containing a Heaven-grade formation!

"Hiss!!! To think such treasures exist as well. Luckily, I didn't provoke her with my stubbornness… However, what's the point of revealing a restriction formation within this array disc?"

The coffin man was both shocked and puzzled. He couldn't understand why Leng Yanran produced a restriction formation. Could one restriction negate another? Furthermore, now that Leng Yanran had complete control over his life, she certainly wouldn't use another restriction formation to strengthen the current one and limit his abilities, right?

"There are so many array discs, and they all look the same. I grabbed the wrong one…"

Leng Yanran muttered softly.

"What the heck!? There's more!?"

The coffin man felt like his world was about to collapse. In his mind, such array discs were something even holy places couldn't produce. But Leng Yanran's words made it seem like she had more than just two!

Her subsequent actions confirmed his suspicion. With another pat to her waist pouch, an entire stack of array discs appeared in her hand. Leng Yanran pulled out one, then withdrew the other nine. "…Uhm, I'd like to ask, is the outside world really that advanced now? These array discs, were they all bought in bulk?"

The coffin man stood frozen in place, his lips trembling. If the outside world had become this terrifying, he felt it might be best to remain here in this secret realm for the rest of his life. It was too dangerous... Heaven-grade formations are sold in bulk?

"Not really. These were all crafted by my master at will. As for the outside world, aside from my master, no one else should be capable of making them."

Leng Yanran casually explained to clear his doubts. Afterward, she infused a trace of spiritual energy into the array disc in her hand. Immediately, a horrifying fluctuation emanated from the array disc.

Except for Leng Yanran, who held it, the coffin man, Li Shenruo, and even the less conscious puppet corpses were instantly suppressed, unable to move in the slightest. The entire world seemed to them to have turned monochrome, devoid of color.

Following that, cracks began to slowly appear in space, centered around the array disc, gradually fracturing like glass. The expansion ceased only after enveloping the entire cavern.

"Snap—"

Leng Yanran recognized this as the sound of the restriction breaking. She halted her use of the array disc and casually stored it away. Her master had created this disc in case she became trapped within a restriction. Thinking back, when she annihilated the Luo Heaven Sect, she had merely used restriction formations and defense array discs; the others hadn't even come into play!

"This!? Did it break just like that?"

The coffin man clicked his tongue in amazement. The restriction that had eluded his scheming for thousands of years was effortlessly shattered in an instant. At that moment, he didn't know whether he should be elated or feel inferior.

"It's terrifying! The power emitted by that array disc just now must be close to a Heaven-grade grand formation! I never imagined there would be a portable Earth-grade top-quality array disc in this world. It's truly eye-opening!"

Beside him, Li Shenruo snapped back to reality, her eyes filled with astonishment. The might of this portable array disc was completely beyond her comprehension.

"Puff— Earth-grade top-quality?"

Upon hearing Li Shenruo's astonished words, the coffin man couldn't help but burst into laughter. What a joke. If it were an Earth-grade top-quality, he might still have put up a fight. There's no need to kneel over.

"What's so funny, senior?" Li Shenruo frowned slightly, puzzled by the sudden laughter from the coffin man.

"Nothing, it's just amusing. It's ridiculous that the world's only Heaven-grade portable array disc is actually being called an Earth-grade. Such a joke."

The coffin man adjusted his mood and casually explained.

"Heaven, Heaven-grade!? Are you joking? Even the defensive grand formation in our Holy Mountain is only a Heaven-grade lower quality! The formation contained in this portable array disc is comparable to the grand formation of our Holy Mountain's defense?"

Li Shenruo was dumbfounded, struggling to believe the coffin man's words. Yet, the other party had no reason to deceive her...

"If the formation in that what's-it-called Holy Mountain is of the lower quality of Heaven-grade, then you've clearly misunderstood. The formation contained in this array disc is approaching celestial top-quality. So, it's not just comparable, it crushes what you call a defense grand formation…"

The coffin man cast a sidelong glance at Li Shenruo, explaining impatiently. He didn't want to be the only one shocked; he had to drag Li Shenruo into it as well!
