Chapter 1258

In just a dozen days, ten billion resources had been consumed by a single Emptiness Realm expert. Almost no one would believe this.

Even though everyone had seen it with their own eyes, they still felt as if they were dreaming.

Although Ling Xing hadn't said anything, his silence gave everyone an enormous amount of pressure. If it weren't for their duties, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on and would have fainted a long time ago.

They had never imagined that they would get tired of receiving so many resources that they would feel like vomiting.

Everyone's attention was focused on these resources. If these resources were absorbed, there wouldn't be any left for Zi Chen.

Providing ten billion resources to a single Emptiness Realm expert was simply unimaginable.

Wade walked in from outside. He walked in front of Ling Xing and nodded at him.

He had already left earlier to exchange for a lot of Emptiness Realm fragments. This time, Ling Xing was determined to help Zi Chen.

Originally, there were many early Corporeal Realm experts guarding Sky # 6. However, as Zi Chen consumed more and more resources, these early Corporeal Realm experts had been replaced by mid Corporeal Realm experts. However, as Zi Chen consumed more than eight billion resources, the mid Corporeal Realm experts were replaced by late Corporeal Realm experts.

Moreover, there were thirty to forty of them. All of them were eyeing Sky # 6 covetously.

At the end of the formation, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Because of the final amount of resources, the atmosphere had reached its limit.

The air was dry and oppressive, as if it was filled with gunpowder. The slightest spark would ignite and explode.

Everyone's eyes were glued to the nine thousand plus Emptiness Realm fragments within the formation.

"Phew."

After a few breaths, someone let out a sigh of relief. This sound caused the oppressive atmosphere to somewhat loosen.

"Phew." "Phew."

Soon after, a series of exhalations were heard. The tense and oppressive atmosphere suddenly relaxed because of these few breaths.

The nine thousand plus Emptiness Realm fragments in front of them were still there after more than ten breaths of time. Not a single fragment had decreased during this time.

This was a world of difference compared to the dozens or even hundreds of fragments that were consumed every breath.

Some people let out a sigh of relief, but others didn't relax because there was no guarantee that these fragments would all explode in the next moment.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment. One minute felt as long as a few days.

A minute later, the Emptiness Realm fragment on the formation was still there, and the entire formation showed no signs of being activated.

Everyone's expression slowly relaxed.

Two minutes passed …

Three minutes passed. At this moment, every minute felt extremely long.

Five minutes passed. Seeing that the fragments were no longer decreasing, everyone was completely relieved. Then, they cheered loudly or gasped for breath.

"Whew." Wade also let out a huge sigh of relief, then carefully glanced at Ling Xing.

Ling Xing's expression was still indifferent. Wade thought, 'As expected of an adult. His mental fortitude is great.' Little did he know that Ling Xing's back was already drenched in cold sweat.

That was ten billion worth of resources. Although it was not a lot, it was used on an Early Virtual Realm expert. This kind of investment would make anyone nervous.

Zi Chen no longer absorbed the energy, and the spell formation no longer operated. It seemed that the high frequency of operation had pushed the spell formation to its limit. Now that it was resting, the spell formation also needed to rest.

It was obvious that Zi Chen had finished his breakthrough.

However, the door of Heaven No. 6 was still tightly shut. The Hunting Order that belonged to Zi Chen was still outside. The Hunting Order was still glowing, proving that Zi Chen was still alive.

At this moment, not only was Zi Chen alive, but he was also living very well.

He was still standing in his own Emptiness Realm space. This space had become stable. Although it was still illusory, it was no longer empty. There were some other things in it.

These things could be called … power.

There was red power, black power, white power, gold power, silver power, green power, blue power … There were all kinds of colors.

Zi Chen was very familiar with these powers. This was because he had comprehended them one by one in the past. Because of these powers, he had also experienced many Lightning Tribulations.

These … were all Rule Power. At this moment, these powers were either scattered or merged, filling this boundless world.

This boundless illusory world had also reached an end because of the appearance of these powers.

Therefore, Zi Chen felt that his realm had stabilized.

However, he still felt that the resources he had absorbed this time … were a little too much.

But was it just a little too much?

After breaking through, Zi Chen was very happy that such a change had occurred in the illusory space again.

In the Heaven No. 6 Cultivation Room, the three-meter illusory space still existed. It was as normal as before. The only unusual thing was that there were some powers of various colors circulating in it.

In the next moment, a person appeared in the three-meter space. It was Zi Chen.

Zi Chen walked out of the space and arrived at the cultivation room. The three-meter space behind him disappeared. Zi Chen began to sense the changes in his body.

His realm had increased, and a lot of power had entered his body. Zi Chen's physical strength had increased again, and his essence, energy, and spirit had naturally transformed again. He had reached the perfect limit of his current realm.

Zi Chen was very satisfied with the changes in his body. As he sensed his realm, Zi Chen had a look of surprise on his face.

"I'm actually at the peak of the mid-stage. I'm only one step away from the late-stage."

He had originally thought that his breakthrough had only stabilized the mid-stage. He had never imagined that he would suddenly climb to the peak and be only one step away from the late-stage.

Zi Chen was very happy and excited about this. It was obvious that this breakthrough had saved him a lot of time. Soon after, he unfurled the lightning wings on his back and began to increase his realm.

However, the lightning wings did not increase by an entire realm as he had imagined. Zi Chen's realm was still at the early stage of the Corporeal stage. The only difference was that his original two meters had now become three meters.

His realm had not increased, and his Corporeal realm had only increased by one meter. However, Zi Chen felt that his power had increased by a lot.

If it had been a little difficult for him to deal with a late-stage Corporeal stage expert before, and he had needed to join forces with the black eagle, then with the increase of one meter, dealing with a late-stage Corporeal stage expert would be relatively easier.

As for whether or not he could slaughter them at will, Zi Chen did not dare to be certain.

His power had already reached its limit, so there was no point in absorbing more. Moreover, Zi Chen could clearly feel that the next step was not to increase his power, but to change the illusory space.

Zi Chen needed to explore this change himself. There was no point in staying here any longer. Therefore, he decided to leave.

"Creak creak."

As the door opened, Zi Chen immediately saw a group of people standing outside. No, there were a lot of people.

These people's expressions were obviously very nervous, but also very expectant. The moment Zi Chen appeared, they all looked at Zi Chen, and their expressions became guarded.

"What are you all doing here?"

Although Zi Chen did not sense any hostility from them, he could still sense an unusual aura. At this moment, he frowned and asked.

The group of late-stage Corporeal experts were stunned, but did not know what to say.

They were only here to keep watch, but now that Zi Chen had appeared, they could not possibly say that they were here to keep watch.

"Zi Chen, Lord Wu requests your presence." A Corporeal expert walked out from behind the group.

"Lord Wu? Which Lord Wu?" Zi Chen frowned again. He did not know any Lord Wu.

"Follow me, Elder Ling is here too."

The newcomer clearly had no intention of explaining to Zi Chen and motioned for Zi Chen to follow.

Zi Chen knew Elder Ling. He nodded, took his hunting token, and left with the Corporeal expert.

Behind Zi Chen, the group of late-stage Corporeal experts watched Zi Chen leave with complicated gazes.

"Ten billion. That means he consumed ten billion worth of resources in a dozen days."

"That's ten billion worth of resources. Even if he plundered them, he wouldn't be able to take them all. How did he do it?"

The group of late-stage Corporeal experts clearly knew something and sighed. Suddenly, one of them asked, "Did you guys sense his cultivation level just now? What is it?"

"I don't think so."

"Yeah, we actually didn't sense his cultivation level."

"Yeah, we didn't pay attention before. Now that you mention it, it seems that we really didn't sense it."

As Zi Chen followed the Corporeal experts to the meeting, he discovered many cultivators along the way. These people were all looking at him with very strange gazes.

Their gazes were filled with shock, astonishment, confusion, suspicion … and so on. It was very complicated and very strange.

Zi Chen touched his face and looked at the cultivators around him. Then, he looked at the Corporeal expert in front of him and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

The Corporeal expert snorted and said unhappily, "They're not looking at your face, they're looking at your person."

"There's something wrong with my person."

"There's a big problem."

The Corporeal expert's attitude was the big problem. Zi Chen ignored him and decided to wait until he saw Elder Ling before asking.

Soon, Zi Chen arrived outside the meeting room. The Corporeal expert left after bringing him here. Zi Chen went forward and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

However, just as Zi Chen approached, Elder Ling's voice came from inside.

Zi Chen pushed the door open and entered. There were four old men sitting inside.

"Zi Chen greets the lords." Zi Chen bowed.

The four old men were carefully sizing up Zi Chen as he bowed. They looked very carefully and even used their spiritual senses.

Two of them were extremely rude as they scanned Zi Chen's body. They seemed to want to force their way into Zi Chen's body. The powerful spiritual senses coupled with the pressure caused Zi Chen's face to pale.

"Buzz."

Under the immense pressure, a golden light suddenly began to tremble around Zi Chen's body. Then, the golden light enveloped Zi Chen's body like an eggshell protecting him, blocking the four spiritual senses outside.

The four old men's faces were immediately filled with astonishment.

Ling Xing first laughed loudly, then asked, "Zi Chen, did you break through? What's your current realm?"

The other three old men retracted their spiritual senses. Two of them had unnatural expressions because even with their high realms, they couldn't detect Zi Chen's true realm.

"The peak of the mid Virtual Realm," Zi Chen said respectfully.

"What? The peak of the mid Virtual Realm? You spent ten billion resources and only advanced by one realm?"
