As the formation barrier completely shattered, everyone present erupted in excitement!
They were not only shocked that Leng Yanran's strength could destroy a massive formation with just one finger, but they were also filled with excitement!
Originally, ninety-nine percent of them would have been unable to pass this outermost test.
Now that the formation had been completely broken by Leng Yanran, didn't that mean all of them had a chance to participate in the second round?
Moreover, in this trial of the Scarlet Cloud Immortal Palace, every stage cleared would come with a reward!
Even if they couldn't reach the end to obtain the Immortal's legacy, just getting the reward from the first round would be an unexpected bonus!
"This…"
"A portable formation disc could enhance someone this much?"
Wang Yan was utterly dumbfounded, standing there pointing at the formation disc in Leng Yanran's hand, stiffly asking Li Shenruo beside him.
As one of the geniuses from the Eastern Region, Wang Yan had seen portable amplification discs before. They weren't particularly rare.
But for a portable formation disc to let a cultivator at the seventh layer of the Profound Sky Realm unleash power equivalent to the Extinction Realm—how could that be reasonable?
Was this even possible!?
Li Shenruo, seeing his shocked expression, simply rubbed her forehead, feeling like Wang Yan was embarrassing the Eastern Region in front of all these Northern Region cultivators.
However, when she remembered her own reaction upon learning that the disc was of Heaven level, her shock wasn't much better than Wang Yan's.
So, she pretended not to hear his question.
Leng Yanran didn't seem to care about the crowd's astonishment. Seeing the formation broken, she put away the formation disc, and immediately, a vast amount of spiritual energy, no longer constrained by the formation, returned to the surrounding heavens and earth.
Meanwhile, as the secret realm's spiritual energy fluctuated, none of them realized that the crack on the entrance teleportation array, caused by Chen Daoxuan, widened further with a "crack" sound!
As Leng Yanran stepped into the second trial area, a reward was issued to her hand.
"Huh?"
"You get a reward just for entering the second round?"
Leng Yanran was a bit surprised and looked at the reward in her hand, which turned out to be a Profound-grade artifact.
In the Northern Region, it could be considered a rare treasure.
But she casually stored it away in her pouch.
Seeing Leng Yanran enter the second round and receive a reward, the others couldn't contain themselves any longer and began moving into the second trial area.
As each person entered the second round, a reward would appear in their hands. Everyone's smiles were so wide they nearly reached their ears.
They had thought they'd end up empty-handed this time, but following Leng Yanran's lead, they had all gotten a reward just for clearing the first round!
Over four thousand people—each with over four thousand rewards in hand.
However, for some unknown reason, the rewards, which at first were all Profound-grade, gradually dropped to High-grade Yellow artifacts and then eventually to Mid-grade Yellow artifacts as more people entered.
This made those who got Yellow-grade artifacts look enviously at those who had obtained Profound-grade ones.
It was obvious that the treasury of the Scarlet Cloud Immortal Palace was almost emptied. At least, the rewards for the first round had been completely exhausted!
As for whether there were any rewards left for the later trials, no one knew.
"Tsk, you lot really know how to reap the benefits without doing any of the work, don't you?"
Leng Yanran noticed that everyone was cheering with joy as they held their rewards, and her brows slightly furrowed.
The main reason she had come to the secret realm was to gather heavenly treasures for her master.
But now, despite her being the one to break through the first barrier, over four thousand others had also received rewards.
How could she possibly accept this?
Snap! Leng Yanran snapped her fingers toward the man in the coffin.
The man immediately bowed and rushed to her side.
"What are your orders, my lady?"
The coffin man asked respectfully. After swallowing the jade pendant that contained Divine Technique, his life was now completely under Leng Yanran's control. Even though he possessed the strength of the Boundless Realm, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
"Go and collect all the rewards that these people just received," Leng Yanran ordered, frowning as she glanced at the many geniuses who were still beaming with joy from their rewards.
"Understood!"
The coffin man grinned wickedly and floated above the plaza of the second trial, scanning the crowd below.
"Everyone, I kindly ask you to hand over the rewards you just received," his voice, infused with spiritual energy, echoed in the ears of everyone present.
The joyful expressions of the crowd instantly froze.
Some quickly stashed their treasures into their storage pouches, pretending not to hear, looking around as if nothing was happening, avoiding eye contact with the figure in the sky.
"Why should we?"
"These rewards were given to us by the secret realm! We didn't steal them, so why should we hand them over to you?"
"Exactly! These are rewards from the Scarlet Cloud Master; why should we give them to you? Who do you think you are?"
"Don't look at me—I didn't get any reward just now. Everything in my pouch I brought from outside!"
"If anyone wants to hand theirs over, they can go ahead. I'm not giving mine up! I don't believe they can kill all 4,000 of us!"
Apart from those who remained silent, pretending not to hear or see, others voiced their dissatisfaction with the coffin man's demands.
They figured that there was safety in numbers; after all, they were over 4,000 strong, and all of them were top talents from various Northern Region factions.
Offending all of them would be the same as offending every power in the Northern Region!
"Heh, my lady, I think it's better if we just kill them all!"
"Their flesh and blood could allow me to raise my strength by another level, making it easier to serve you, wouldn't you say?"
"Besides, if we kill them, not only will we get the rewards they received, but their personal treasures would also belong to you. What do you think?"
The coffin man wasn't angered by their resistance; in fact, he found it amusing.
Threatening him?
A mighty Boundless Realm expert, being threatened by these insignificant insects? What a joke!
Through years of listening to the geniuses from the Northern Region who entered the secret realm, the coffin man knew the full extent of the Northern Region's power. The strongest among them was merely at the fifth or sixth layer of the Extinction Realm.
Once he left the secret realm, he alone could wipe out the entire Northern Region with a wave of his hand!
As for threatening that demonic woman, don't even joke about it!
If they wanted to die, they should at least find a less painful way. Why provoke her of all people?
The coffin man didn't know what kind of existence stood behind Leng Yanran, but even if he were given a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare oppose her.
Even without the jade pendant inside him, he would still choose to stay far away from Leng Yanran, never daring to challenge her.
A person who could casually use ten Heaven level formation discs? Who would dare mess with that? Certainly not him, even with his Boundless Realm strength—it simply wasn't enough!
