Chapter 1217
Beasts were powerful and intelligent. After two attacks, Zi Chen was able to see through it, and it was also able to sense that humans were not ordinary.
"Roar!"
It roared and rushed towards Zi Chen again. Powerful energy surged from its body. Usually, such an attack would have been enough to kill a human.
Zi Chen's body flashed with golden light. He mobilized the power of Earth Aeon and destroyed the rules around his body. He clenched his fist and punched forward.
That punch was filled with power, and it was filled with skill.
"Bang!"
The two forces collided and the sound of the collision rang out again. This time, the two sides were no longer evenly matched. A surge of power flowed from the fist into the battle beast's body. The battle beast let out a wail and was smashed into the distance.
They were both using the power of Earth Aeon, but Zi Chen defeated the soldier beast.
"Bang." "Bang."
Zi Chen quickly stepped forward. Without waiting for the battle beast to get up and attack, he punched again. In this punch, golden light flashed and a powerful force shook the surroundings.
Punch after punch landed on the beast's flesh, causing it to wail continuously.
"Bang."
In the end, the battle beast's skull was broken by Zi Chen's punch. Its soul was shattered and it died. As for its corpse, it was sucked into the alchemy cauldron.
Soon, Zi Chen would obtain a Beast Pill of Rules. At the same time, he would also obtain several high-quality refining materials.
Leaving only some traces of the battle, Zi Chen began to go deeper.
Even if the pursuers found something, they didn't dare to rashly go deeper. This was because the battle beasts were indeed very strong. One or two ordinary Emptiness Realm Experts wouldn't even consider finding trouble with a battle beast.
As he went deeper, Zi Chen found a few more battle beasts. After a simple battle, the soldier level battle beast was killed.
After going deeper into the dense forest for hundreds of miles, Zi Chen found a relatively quiet area. After arriving here, Zi Chen didn't see any battle beasts.
Zi Chen guessed that this should be the place where a general-level battle beast was.
Although a General-level warbeast was only at the Corporeal Realm, its super strong combat power made it comparable to a Corporeal Realm warbeast. Even the current Zi Chen would have trouble facing a General-level warbeast.
After discovering this area, Zi Chen didn't go any further. Instead, he wandered around in search of a quiet place. This was the place he had chosen to go into seclusion.
After a long time, Zi Chen found a cave. The cave was very large, but it was very humid, as if it had not been inhabited for a long time.
Zi Chen walked into the cave and used his magic to dry the damp surroundings.
The cave was very deep, as if it was the dwelling place of a snake, but it was obvious that this place had been abandoned.
After dealing with the situation in the cave briefly, Zi Chen went to the entrance of the cave and set up a simple formation. This was the place he chose for his seclusion.
In the depths of the cave, Zi Chen sat cross-legged and a Rule Fragment appeared in his hand.
The current Zi Chen's body was not saturated with the power of the rules, so it was relatively better for him to refine the Rule Fragments. Of course, he could also refine the Void Fragments, but that would be too wasteful. Although Zi Chen had killed a lot of Emptiness Realm experts this time, he hadn't reached the point where he didn't care about waste.
"Pa."
A Rule Fragment shattered in front of him, and rich power of the rules filled the cave. Zi Chen began to absorb the power of the rules.
"Pa." "Pa."
One Rule Fragment after another exploded, and Zi Chen once again fell into a deep state of seclusion.
Because of his extraordinary combat power and the comprehension of many rules during this period, it would be very difficult for Zi Chen to break through.
Even with the support of an endless stream of Rule Fragments, Zi Chen would need a long time to completely refine them and advance his strength.
Earth Prime was naturally divided into three realms: the early, middle, and late stages. However, in this world, because there were no human rights in the Earth Prime, they were all called Earth Prime.
According to Zi Chen's current strength, he was only at the early stage of the Earth Prime.
Next, if there were no accidents, Zi Chen would be in seclusion until he broke through or until all his resources were exhausted.
In the outside world, the search was still going on, but it was still fruitless. It was easier said than done to find a person in such a large area.
Time passed quietly … Soon, another year had passed.
Many tribes still couldn't find Zi Chen, but they were still searching.
Two years had passed, and they gradually lost interest. Some of the people they sent out were also called back.
By the fifth year, Zi Chen's name had already faded from people's minds, and his previous feat of killing a Reality Realm expert was treated as a joke.
After searching for several years, they didn't even find a trace of him. Naturally, no one continued to believe that a mere Earth Prime could kill a Reality Realm expert.
Breaking through to the next realm was an extremely long and resource-consuming process. The fastest was a hundred years, and the slowest was a thousand or ten thousand years.
After five years of seclusion, Zi Chen woke up once.
The reason was that most of the law fragments on him had been used up, and the rest were void fragments that Zi Chen couldn't bear to use.
After opening his eyes, he began to count his gains from five years ago. Although it was a little late, it was time to count.
Zi Chen took out a handful of spirit rings from his spirit ring. At a glance, there were dozens of them. Immediately after, Zi Chen took out a few more. The number of spirit rings had already exceeded a hundred, and this number was still increasing.
Each spirit ring represented the life of a cultivator, and the weakest was at the Earth Prime level. From this, it could be seen how many cultivators Zi Chen had killed when he went on a killing spree five years ago.
With almost all the law fragments used up, Zi Chen needed to count the rest of his gains. This would directly determine whether he would leave or continue his seclusion.
After five years of seclusion, he was only one step away from the mid-stage of the Earth Prime level. As long as he had the resources, he would be able to break through very quickly.
Next, Zi Chen began to count the spirit rings. The feeling of hiding in a cave and silently counting money made Zi Chen feel like a thief.
"There are only fifty-six pieces in here and an Earth Weapon, but it's useless."
"Why are there only eight pieces in here?"
Zi Chen put the law fragments into a spirit ring, and then put the Earth Weapon in a separate spirit ring. Earth Weapons were the same as Earth Primes. They were the cheapest items in the Zhanwu Continent. They were not even comparable to a bottle of wine.
Earth Weapons could not be sold at a high price. At most, one or two pieces were dispensable.
"This is not bad. There are more than a hundred pieces."
"Yes, there are more than fifty pieces."
"There are more than five hundred pieces. This person is considered rich among the Emptiness Realm experts."
"This, there are more than a thousand pieces. Could this be Ku Kuan's spirit ring?"
"…"
Zi Chen tirelessly counted the law fragments. Although the quality of these law fragments could not be compared to the law fragments refined by Dao-ding, they were still ordinary law fragments.
The wealth in the hundreds of spirit rings added up to an enormous amount. Moreover, these law fragments were still worth refining. After handing them over to the Cauldron Spirit, their purity would continue to increase.
All in all, there were more than three hundred spirit rings. The wealth in them was as high as forty thousand pieces. Among them, Zi Chen discovered that there were several spirit rings that contained several thousand pieces of wealth.
Of course, there were many spirit rings that only contained single digits of wealth. These were all Earth Primes. They also needed law fragments for their cultivation. Therefore, they did not have a lot of them.
In addition to wealth, Zi Chen also obtained several hundred Earth Weapons. If he sold them, he could sell them for several hundred pieces. There were also several dozen Void Weapons without souls. Although they were somewhat valuable, they would not be worth much.
Zi Chen had yet to check the spirit rings of the three Corporeal Realm experts. However, Zi Chen did not have much hope for the spirit ring of the demon.
The demon came from the Dark Continent. There was nothing good there.
As expected, after opening the spirit ring, there were only a few dozen law fragments. They were not worth mentioning at all.
After that, Zi Chen took out Chas' spirit ring. As a leader, this was the real deal.
After the spirit ring was opened, Zi Chen's spiritual senses immediately discovered many law fragments. There were many of them.
In addition to the law fragments, there were also complete law fragments. One of them was equivalent to ten ordinary law fragments. In addition, there were also many Void Law fragments.
Zi Chen did a simple calculation. The value of these law fragments had exceeded forty thousand pieces.
Zi Chen could not help but click his tongue. Obviously, he had killed several hundred people and only obtained forty thousand law fragments. However, Chas' spirit ring contained more than forty thousand pieces of wealth.
In addition to the law fragments, there were also several refining materials in Chas' spirit ring. Their hardness was close to that of real weapons. They should have been obtained from killing general-level battle beasts.
After counting Chas' wealth, Zi Chen appeared to be very excited. If not for his limited strength, he would have found another Corporeal Realm leader and killed him.
Next was Wo Mang's.
Before Wo Mang established his tribe, Zi Chen concluded that the other party's wealth far exceeded Chas'.
As the spirit ring was opened, Zi Chen's guess was indeed correct. There were more law fragments here, and their value was double that of Chas' wealth, close to a hundred thousand pieces.
Zi Chen was pleasantly surprised, surprised, and excited by this number. Obviously, with so many Law Fragments, it was enough to support Zi Chen for several years, or even more than ten years of cultivation, allowing him to break through again and again in his cultivation.
As the leader of an old force, even if it was the smallest force, it was enough to prove its foundation.
In the spirit ring, Zi Chen also found many Corporeal Realm materials. These were also obtained from killing general-level battle beasts. They could be sold for a good price in the outside world.
In addition to wealth, Zi Chen also found flying boats. This was the main means of transportation in the Zhan Wu Continent. However, it was divided into quality and speed.
The ones on Chas and Wo Mang were undoubtedly of good quality.
Finally, Zi Chen found the most desirable but temporarily most useless item in Wo Mang's spirit ring. It was a token of the Domain Realm.
It was a slender token engraved with fine, complicated, and mysterious runes. These runes used the power of space. When Zi Chen looked at it, he actually felt dizzy.
This was because his realm was too low. Zi Chen put away the token and didn't continue to pay attention to it. This was a good and priceless item. However, it was useless to Zi Chen now.
This was because he didn't know how many years it would take for him to break through to the Corporeal Realm.
A thousand years, ten thousand years, maybe even thirty or fifty thousand years.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to break through to the Virtual Realm.
