Chapter 16: A Triple Condensation Qi realm Immortal?

As the stone monument landed, everyone regained control of their bodies. Each of them felt as if they had just passed through the gates of the netherworld, as if they had one foot in the Hall of Yama!

If that attack had targeted them, there would have been no one capable of stopping it.

Observing the 3,000-zhang-tall black stone monument standing not far from the Leng family mansion, exuding a sinister aura, they noticed that it depicted the fierce appearances of the Ten Great Demons.

Additionally, countless densely written characters covered the monument, or perhaps they were names?

"Look, at the bottom of the monument, new characters are appearing…"

[Luo Heaven Sect Elder, Zhang Wanfeng, cultivation at Return to Ruin Ninth Layer…]

With a flash of black light, the information about the elder appeared at the bottom of the monument!

"I see now, it seems that the entire 3,000-zhang-tall monument records those who died because of it?"

"It's too horrifying..."

"Wait, look, Zhang Wanfeng's name is disappearing?"

"Why is that?"

"I understand... His strength must not be worthy of appearing on the monument; he was rejected by it, so his name was concealed!"

"Even at Return to Ruin Ninth Layer, he doesn't deserve to be remembered on the monument after death?"

The cultivators in the city were shocked not only by the terrifying pressure of the Sky Monument but also by their own speculations.

A Return to Ruin Ninth Layer expert was already enough to overturn the entire Moro Country! Yet, even in death, he wasn't qualified to have his name inscribed on the monument?

What kind of existence was this that could unleash such a terrifying technique?

In the city, tens of thousands of common people knelt and worshiped toward the direction of the Sky Monument, murmuring prayers, seeking forgiveness from the heavens for their sins. They had all felt so close to death just now, even ordinary people were no exception.

"Yanran... What is this?"

After coming to his senses, Leng Zhan pointed stutteringly at the Sky Monument.

"Oh... It was Master who made a move.

"I never expected that on my first trip down the mountain, not only did I exhaust the life-saving means given by Master, but I also required Master's personal intervention to resolve the crisis.

"I am truly unworthy of Master's nurturing."

Leng Yanran gazed blankly at the Sky Monument, feeling the aura emanating from it.

Although it was her first encounter with the Sky Monument's technique, she could sense the similarity to her own Chaos Demon Art. Presumably, it was a more potent technique within the art.

"I have something to ask, but I'm not sure if I should."

Leng Zhan stared at the Sky Monument, unable to recover his senses for a long time. Eventually, hesitating for a moment, he muttered to himself.

"Feel free to speak, Patriarch. After this incident, Yanran will reduce unnecessary contact with the Leng family. However, you can rest assured that I will handle the troubles from the Luo Heaven Sect."

Hearing Leng Yanran's response, Leng Zhan gave a wry smile. Indeed, Leng Yanran had become a burden to the Leng family, and her uniqueness would attract even greater and more powerful enemies in the future.

The Leng family could not protect her.

That was fine. After all, Leng Yanran was not a direct descendant of the Leng family.

"What realm is your Master?"

Leng Zhan's primary concern was the level of Leng Yanran's Master's cultivation and whether it was enough to protect her safety.

"My Master's realm? I'm not sure, but... even if not an Immortal, it should be close, right?"

Leng Yanran was slightly startled; she didn't have a definitive answer to the question, so she could only speculate.

"An Immortal!? "I suppose so. Just a simple remote attack can unleash such a terrifying technique. Calling them an Immortal would probably not be an exaggeration."

After his astonishment, Leng Zhan actually nodded without any doubt.

Meanwhile, Chen Daoxuan, who hadn't yet dispersed the water mirror, listened to their conversation, and his lips twitched.

An Immortal? In the Third Layer Condensation Realm?

"Yanran, handle your matters and return to the mountain as soon as possible."

Seeing that the crisis had been averted and not wanting to meddle further in the affairs of the Leng family, Chen Daoxuan left a few words before dispersing the water mirror.

At the same time, the 3,000-zhang-tall Sky Monument shrank smaller and smaller. It turned back into a small stone monument the size of a palm with a "whoosh," vanishing at the moment the water mirror disappeared.

"Yes, I bid farewell to Master!"

Seeing this, Leng Yanran quickly kneeled on one knee and saluted the water mirror. It was only when the water mirror dissipated that the suspended jade pendant in front of her fell back to her chest.

Gently touching the jade pendant, which still exuded a hint of warmth, Leng Yanran couldn't help but feel touched.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Not only did her Master leave her with life-saving means, but he also secretly left her with such a powerful technique. He cared for her deeply.

At this moment, Leng Yanran just wanted to return to Illusory Mountain quickly and serve by her Master's side.

"The troubles in the city will be left to Patriarch to handle. I've decided to return to the mountain immediately and consider how to deal with the troubles from Luo Heaven Sect!"

Leng Yanran looked at the devastated Leng family, but her heart remained calm. Instead, she cast her gaze further into the future.

Today, she not only killed Luo Heaven Sect's top disciple but also two Return to Void Realm elders. Even Luo Heaven Sect would feel the pain of this loss and wouldn't easily spare the Leng family.

However, before Luo Heaven Sect could retaliate, she had to advance to a higher realm!

In the past, it might have been an impossible task, but now, it was different. There was nothing impossible by her Master's side!

"Go with peace of mind! Luo Heaven Sect won't act rashly until they investigate the loss of two Return to Void Realm experts!"

Leng Zhan nodded heavily and then, along with numerous Leng family disciples, watched Leng Yanran depart in the sky.

For the capital city of Moro Nation, this day had seen too many upheavals. Many noble families had been waiting for the downfall of the Leng family, hoping to seize its resources and assets.

However, now all the noble families were dumbfounded. They never expected that even a Return to Void Realm Ninth Layer expert from Luo Heaven Sect would fall at the hands of the Leng family!

Especially for the Li family and the Wang family, they were in a panic. After some discussion, they decided not to deliver only the previously agreed upon 50% of the Leng family's assets. Instead, they added an additional 10% and handed over 60% of their assets!

And at this moment, in the imperial palace, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious dragon robes, exuding an extraordinary aura, listened to his subordinates' report with an incredulous expression.

As the Emperor of Moro Nation, he had no power to resist a Return to Void Realm Ninth Layer expert from Luo Heaven Sect. He never thought that the seemingly inconspicuous Leng family possessed such terrifying means!

Especially when he recalled the 3,000-zhang-tall Sky Monument that appeared out of thin air. Even though he was in the palace at the time, he felt death beckoning him!

"Leng Yanran... What kind of extraordinary encounter has she had to become so terrifying overnight?"
