Summary

Guan Xue Lan experiences panic as she is caught in a powerful grinding wheel formation. To counteract its effects, she activates her Supreme Realm, which absorbs her power. Despite her strength, she struggles to escape the formation, realizing she might die. Recognizing the danger, she cleverly encourages other cultivators to enter the formation, hoping to weaken the grinding wheel's grip.
