Chapter 58: Stretching Muscles and Kneeling! Grandma, Calm Down!

At a time like this, shouldn't the priority be figuring out how to escape with your life?

Why is she so focused on those treasures?

Seeing Leng Yanran's excited expression, eyes glued to the piles of precious materials, Li Shenruo felt her mind was having a hard time processing the situation.

"Fairy Leng, our lives are in danger! Shouldn't we escape from here first?"

"Now is not the time to be thinking about those treasures!"

Li Shenruo wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn't help but remind her.

"Interesting... truly interesting!"

"I didn't expect someone would still be thinking about treasures in front of me."

"I don't know whether to praise you for your bravery or call you foolish..."

The man in the coffin was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing.

"Hey."

"Is this all your treasure?"

"Or do you have more?"

Leng Yanran, however, completely ignored the words of the other two and instead turned to the man in the coffin, asking bluntly.

She hadn't forgotten her master's advice: before killing anyone, make sure they hand over all their treasures first. Waste not, want not!

"Huh?"

"Ridiculous..."

"Disable them both!"

The man in the coffin couldn't understand this woman. Not only was she not afraid, but she even questioned him. At that moment, he ordered for them to be taken down.

As his words fell, the two Extinction Realm corpse puppets moved!

Perhaps it had been too long since they last moved, as a grating sound of bones rubbing together echoed through the room as they rose.

At the same time, the Unity Realm corpse puppets lying dormant in the passage the two women had entered through began to awaken, blocking their way out!

"Fairy Leng!"

"I can use my artifact to block these two corpse puppets for ten breaths. Let's escape together!"

Seeing this, Li Shenruo felt her scalp tingle. She immediately shouted to Leng Yanran, only to realize Leng wasn't paying her any attention. Instead, Leng was calmly walking towards the pile of precious materials.

She pulled out a storage pouch and, under the incredulous gazes of everyone present, casually stored the small mountain of rare materials into it.

Then she turned her attention to a pile of weapons and artifacts, taking out another storage pouch.

"Tsk, with the treasures secured, there's nothing to worry about now..."

After storing both pouches safely, Leng Yanran finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't worried about much, except that these treasures might get destroyed during the fight.

But her behavior left everyone else stunned. 

Did she really not consider the presence of the Extinction Realm Realm corpse puppets as threats?

"Roar—!"

The Extinction Realm corpse puppets seemed to feel insulted. With a roar, one charged at Leng Yanran, baring its fangs as it intended to tear her apart!

The other Extinction Realm puppet was not to be outdone, attacking Li Shenruo!

Seeing this, Li Shenruo quickly activated her protective treasure.

Though her protective artifact was only at the high earth-grade level, it was still capable of withstanding attacks from an Extinction Realm opponent, though her own spiritual energy could only sustain it for ten breaths.

With the barrier activated, Li Shenruo glanced at Leng Yanran, conflicted. In the end, she didn't choose to run away alone but instead dashed over to Leng Yanran, extending the barrier to cover her as well!

It wasn't that she was selfless—there were simply too many Unity Realm corpse puppets blocking the passage, and there was no way she could escape on her own!

"If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

Li Shenruo, exasperated, grabbed Leng Yanran's shoulder, trying to drag her to safety.

For now, the two Extinction Realm corpse puppets were blocked by the barrier and couldn't harm them.

Leng Yanran glanced at her with some surprise, not expecting the other woman to stay behind to save her instead of running away. 

Her opinion of Li Shenruo improved slightly.

"Hmph, you two juniors think you can come and go as you please in my domain?"

"Fine, it's a good time to stretch my muscles. It's been too long since I've seen the world!"

The man in the coffin snorted coldly. 

He hadn't expected the other party to possess a high earth-grade level artifact. And after witnessing how Leng Yanran casually ignored him and took the treasures he had accumulated over thousands of years, his displeasure grew.

With a light leap, he jumped out of the coffin, one hand behind his back. In a single step, he reached the barrier Li Shenruo had set up.

He raised his hand and threw a punch!

Boom!

Crack—!

The barrier that was supposed to withstand ten breaths against Extinction Realm attacks shattered like fragile glass!

The man in the coffin immediately flashed a confident smile, raising his hand as he prepared to strangle both women by their necks.

Suddenly, his expression froze. His pupils contracted as he stared at the formation disc in Leng Yanran's hand.

Thud!

He unexpectedly knelt down in front of Leng Yanran!

"Grandma, Grandma, don't do it!"

"Calm down, please, calm down!"

Kneeling on the ground, the man in the coffin waved his hands, begging Leng Yanran to spare him.

The numerous Unity Realm corpse puppets and the two Extinction Realm puppets, all of whom had developed some limited awareness, were stunned by what had just happened. Seeing their master suddenly kneel, they followed suit, kneeling down in front of Leng Yanran.

"This..."

Li Shenruo was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events.

What was going on?

In her eyes, the man in the coffin had intended to flex his power, shattering the protective barrier that could withstand Extinction Realm attacks, demonstrating what had to be at least Boundless Realm strength!

She had been moments away from despair, sure she would die here and become nothing more than a nutrient for the corpse puppets.

But then, that same man knelt before them?

Was "stretching muscles" just a metaphor for this?

Turning her stiff neck, she looked at Leng Yanran, who still had a calm expression on her face, holding a portable formation disc in her hand.

"Is it that formation disc?"

"But a portable formation disc should only contain a Profound level formation. How could it possibly threaten someone at the Boundless Realm?"

Li Shenruo was utterly confused.

"Oh?"

"You can tell how powerful this formation disc is?"

Leng Yanran was a bit surprised. She hadn't expected the corpse puppet to suddenly beg for mercy.

After storing the treasures, she had been planning to use the attack formation disc her master had given her to completely destroy everything here—the man in the coffin, the corpse puppets, and the stone chamber.

"Grandma, my dear Grandma..."

"If I had known you had such a treasure, I wouldn't have dared to mess with you!"

The man in the coffin's mouth twitched as he glanced at the formation disc. 

As it turned out, Scarlet Cloud Master had been a master of formations, and this body had a special talent that made his eyes particularly sensitive to formation runes!

With just one glance, he could tell that the portable formation disc contained over ten thousand formation runes!

What had happened to the world over the past few thousand years?

How could a portable formation disc now hold a Heaven-level formation!?
