Chapter 1257

Zi Chen flashed into the three-meter Void Space. At a glance, Zi Chen saw a world.

This was a boundless world. It was still illusory at the moment, but it was also independent.

The Void Space of the Void Boundary was an illusory space created with the entire continent as the foundation. Zi Chen's three-meter Void Boundary was attached to the Zhan Wu Continent, but the infinite illusory space in the three-meter Void Boundary was a real independent existence.

This phenomenon puzzled Zi Chen.

However, being in this illusory space, he could feel that it was very unstable.

Zi Chen looked up at the sky. This place was illusory, but he could see waves of power merging into this illusory space.

The originally unstable space slowly stabilized because of the infusion of these forces.

However, only a small area was stabilized. A lot of resources were needed to completely stabilize this infinite space.

Zi Chen did not have so many resources on him at the moment, but this was not in his consideration at the moment. With a thought, a wave of power rushed out. When this power reached the outside world, it turned into a suction force and returned with a strong force.

Zi Chen, who had entered the Illusory Space, was still conscious. He knew that he was still in the Sky Room No. 6. Because he had sensed a bottleneck and was showing signs of breaking through, he had been inspired to enter the Illusory Space.

The moment he entered the Void Realm, Zi Chen had already broken through. He was now at the middle stage of the Void Realm.

However, this realm was still unstable and needed a lot of resources to stabilize this realm.

This was what Zi Chen thought, so he needed resources now, and these resources needed to be provided by the Sky Room No. 6.

Zi Chen simply thought that the premise of stabilizing his realm was to stabilize this illusory world.

Therefore, he stood here and watched this world stabilize, so that he could completely stabilize his realm.

Little did he know that Zi Chen's idea had caused a great disturbance in the entire Hunter's Castle.

As the steward of Hunter's Castle, Old Ling's words carried a lot of weight, so even though he was standing here for a moment and watching Heaven No.6 swallow tens of millions of resources, he still had a faint smile on his face.

The fact that Zi Chen had consumed a lot of resources to break through proved that Zi Chen had great potential and that he had a good eye for talent.

That was indeed what he thought, and the Reality realms who rushed over from all directions also complimented him in the same manner.

Very quickly, another two hours passed.

Zi Chen had already consumed more than 655 million resources.

Seeing that the consumption rate of the array formation did not decrease, and instead increased, the crowd's praises gradually decreased.

But Ling Ling still had a faint smile on his face. Wasn't it just a hundred million worth of resources? It was only equivalent to the lowest level, worst, and worst realm fragment.

That was how Ling Tianyi always comforted himself.

In next to no time, the second Region Fragment was consumed.

The third domain fragment was gone, and so were the fourth and the fifth.

As time passed, not only did the Heaven No.6's devouring speed not slow down, it actually became faster.

Five Region Fragments were equivalent to five hundred million worth of resources.

Five hundred million, a whole five hundred million. Even an idiot could forcibly ascend to the Reality Realm because of this amount of resources.

But Zi Chen had consumed five hundred million worth of resources in just one day and one night.

Even so, such a huge amount of resources had not helped him break through.

The surrounding praises had long since disappeared, and the scene had become very quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the mechanical sound of the void realm fragments being placed. No one even dared to breathe loudly.

The smile on Old Ling's face had disappeared at some point.

Both outside and outside Heaven No.6 were full of cultivators. These people were silent and did not say a word.

But everyone was waiting for Heaven No.6 to finish devouring and for Senior Hunter Zi Chen, who had consumed a huge amount of resources, to appear.

But unfortunately, Zi Chen still did not appear when the eleventh Region Fragment had been consumed the next day.

Eleven Region Fragments represented one billion and one hundred million. This was Zi Chen's consumption in the past two days. No one could remain calm when faced with such a huge number.

Although using one billion and one hundred million without permission was not Old Ling's limit, using it on a Void Realm expert was enough to attract the attention of many people. Once someone noticed, there would naturally be dissatisfaction.

After all, no one would be stupid enough to waste resources on a Void Realm expert that they did not know, or had never even seen before.

"Old Ling, Lord Wu requests your presence."

A human voice finally rang out amidst the mechanical sounds. A Reality Realm expert walked in from outside, stood in front of Old Ling, and spoke respectfully.

Old Ling did not speak. He only looked forward and watched as the fragments exploded one after another. He watched as they were placed in front of him and then exploded again.

He had been watching like this for two days and two nights. The atmosphere around him had also become extremely oppressive because of these two days and two nights.

"Old Ling, Lord Wu requests your immediate departure." The Reality Realm expert spoke again. The corner of his mouth twitched as he looked at the speed at which everyone was exchanging fragments.

"He's finally here."

Old Ling sighed and finally spoke for the first time in two days.

When he finished speaking, Old Ling turned and left. The Reality Realm followed.

Everyone else's movements slowed because of Old Ling's departure. They seemed to feel a sense of relief. However, they were also very confused and did not know whether they should give up or not.

"The Sky Number One Formation is not allowed to stop until I return." Old Ling's voice rang out from outside.

The oppressive atmosphere disappeared with Old Ling's departure.

"I say, this Zi Chen is too scary. Is he trying to break through to the Domain Realm?"

"More than one billion worth of resources have been used up in two days. Even plundering can't be done so quickly."

"This kid is really lucky to have Old Ling's support."

"Lord Wu rarely appears. He must have asked Old Ling to go this time because of Zi Chen. I'm afraid Old Ling won't have an easy time this time."

Everyone was discussing spiritedly, but their hands never stopped moving.

This time, there was no need for them to give orders. Someone would continuously send resources over. The old man who had been in charge of managing the resources had fainted because he couldn't bear the pressure. Thus, a new person was in charge.

However, it was obvious that the pressure on this person had increased with the expenditure of hundreds of millions of resources. This was especially so when he found out that Old Ling had been called away by Lord Wu.

This was because if the negotiations between the two parties were not good, then they would be in trouble.

When Old Ling walked into the meeting room, Zi Chen was still in his infinitely large Void Realm space. He was firmly watching the entire world stabilize and waiting for his realm to stabilize. However, it seemed that he had absorbed a little too many resources.

"Everyone, why have you called me here?"

Old Ling walked into the meeting room. There were already three people inside. All three of them were old men, and their strength was undoubtedly in the Domain Realm.

"Ling Xing, don't ask questions you already know the answer to. You should know our purpose," an old man in a red robe said coldly. He didn't look very good.

Old Ling was Ling Xing. When he heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "You must be here for the senior hunter."

"Hmph, investing billions of resources on an Emptiness Realm Expert? What are you thinking, Ling Xing? Are you out of your mind?" another person said in an unfriendly tone.

Ling Xing retorted, "Have you ever seen an Emptiness Realm Expert defeat hundreds of Corporeal Realm Experts?"

"That wasn't his true strength. It was because of a supreme treasure," the old man in the seat said.

The old man sitting at the head of the table spoke, but his tone was relatively friendly. This was Lord Wu.

"It's true that he can't do without a supreme treasure. However, what he really relied on was his personal strength," Ling Xing said.

"Let's not talk about strength for now. Let's talk about resources. Although Hunter's Castle has countless resources, it's impossible to provide such a large amount of help to an Emptiness Realm Expert. Let's stop and let him come out. Then, let him do missions in return," the old man in the red robe said again.

"That's right. The resources will stop here," the second old man said.

"He's at a critical moment in his breakthrough. It's unreasonable to stop the resources now. As for the missions, we can wait until he breaks through," Ling Xing said.

Seeing that the old man in red was about to speak again, Ling Xing added, "Moreover, I have the authority to use resources. Before he reaches my limit, as long as he can absorb, I will continue to provide."

The two old men's expressions changed. Anger immediately appeared on their faces. However, Lord Wu said, "Ling Xing, do you know what you are doing? If you don't get any return on your investment, I'm afraid that no one will bear this loss for you."

Ling Xing said faintly, "I don't need anyone to bear this loss for me. My authority is ten billion. If this amount is exceeded, I will automatically stop. If the investment doesn't get any return, I will automatically resign from this position and fill the gap of ten billion resources."

Lord Wu was stunned when he heard this. He immediately said, "Ling Xing, why do you have to do this?"

Ling Xing smiled and said, "I think he's worth it."

After saying this, Ling Xing directly left.

The end of the discussion was the worst result that Ling Xing thought was possible. This was because no one in Hunter's Castle supported him now.

This time, he directly walked to the resource collection point and said indifferently, "Withdraw ten billion resources."

The resource manager was shocked, but Elder Ling did have the authority, so he could only do as he was told.

For the Hunter's Castle, they still had 65 billion in resources.

Elder Ling took the remaining ten billion resources and directly came here. He would personally oversee this place until the ten billion resources were used up.

"Zi Chen, as long as you can absorb, I will definitely provide all the resources, even if it means that I have to go bankrupt."

Before entering, Elder Ling had already made up his mind. For Zi Chen, for himself, or to vent his anger.

The atmosphere that had just calmed down became oppressive again. Then, everyone began to mechanically place the resources.

Two billion, three billion, four billion …

In the end, Zi Chen's absorption rate was still at one billion per day. There was no obvious increase or decrease in absorption rate.

After a few days, ten billion resources were used up.

When the last batch of Virtual Realm fragments was placed, the surrounding air was oppressive to the extreme. Everyone's mood was also extremely tense.
