Chapter 1324

The cultivator in charge of the Sky One Formation was still slowly filling the formation with reality fragments. He had been maintaining this posture for several years ever since Zi Chen had entered seclusion. He had rarely rested during this period of time.

After more than ten years, he had gotten used to filling the formation and had long since figured out the frequency, so he could still be absent-minded from time to time.

But today, he suddenly heard a series of explosions coming from within the formation.

His absent-minded state suddenly jolted him awake. Then, he saw the reality fragments in front of him begin to explode.

"Aiya, what's happening?" The Reality cultivator cried out in alarm and hurriedly took out reality fragments to fill them up.

Bang, bang, bang, …

Following that, another series of explosions rang out. This time, he wasn't able to fill them up as quickly as the fragments shattered.

The cultivator's expression changed drastically as he cried out in alarm, "Everyone, quickly come and take a look. Is there a problem with the cultivation room?"

Everyone rushed over when they heard the news, but when they saw the scene before them, their faces were filled with confusion and shock.

"Why is this happening? What do we do now?" This was the first time the Reality cultivators had encountered such a situation. None of them had any idea what to do.

"It doesn't matter if it's an accident or not. First, fill the formation. We can't stop the formation. Hurry and report to the master that there's a problem with the cultivation room." The leader of the Reality cultivators rushed over when he heard the news and immediately gave orders.

These cultivation rooms had all been built at great cost. If there was a problem, it would naturally be no small matter. This matter could only be dealt with by the Domain cultivators.

The one who immediately rushed over when he heard the news was Ling Xing. When he saw the spatial fragments shattering, not only was there no trace of worry on his face, there was even a trace of a smile.

Everyone was puzzled. The Reality cultivator leader cautiously asked, "Master, is this broken?"

"Broken my ass. It's Zi Chen absorbing energy during his breakthrough. Haha, that kid, it's only been a few short years, but he's already broken through again. Even this old man is envious of his breakthrough speed." Ling Xing laughed heartily.

"Ah, Zi Chen is breaking through, but this commotion … it seems a little too big."

Everyone found this hard to believe. One had to know that Zi Chen was only at the early Corporeal realm, but his absorption speed was so fast that even the Heavenly Number One Array had to expend some effort to supply it.

More than ten years ago, Zi Chen had caused a huge commotion. At that time, it had directly shaken all the higher-ups of Hunter's Castle. However, after that incident, the higher-ups had ordered that this matter be kept a secret. Not many people knew about that incident.

This time, Zi Chen had made another breakthrough, which obviously attracted the attention of the higher-ups. However, this time, no one complained. Instead, all the higher-ups had happy smiles on their faces.

The smug Ling Xing naturally did not forget the important matter at hand. He pointed at the few corporeal realms and said, "You, you, and you, all of you come over here and help. Next, no matter how many corporeal realm fragments you explode, you need to replenish them as soon as possible. In a moment, I will get someone to deliver corporeal realm fragments. Don't worry about the consumption, just replenish them."

The group of Corporeal realm experts nodded and immediately stepped forward to fill the array formation with Corporeal realm fragments.

Ling Xing stood to the side and watched. The sounds of explosions sounded like a beautiful melody in his ears.

After a while, someone came to deliver resources. It was Ming Zhu.

"How is it?"

Ming Zhu asked Ling Xing in a low voice as he distributed resources that were enough to scare a Corporeal realm expert to death.

"See for yourself," Ling Xing said proudly.

Explosions sounded in his ears. Ming Zhu looked in the direction of the sound and saw large swaths of corporeal realm fragments disappear.

One corporeal realm fragment was equivalent to ten thousand law fragments. With just a glance, Ming Zhu saw more than ten million resources disappear.

With just a glance, his gaze paused for a few breaths. Nearly a hundred million resources disappeared.

Even though he had already guessed it, Ming Zhu was still shocked when he saw the resources disappear so quickly.

"This is really too … extravagant." Ming Zhu could not help but sigh. He naturally did not dare to say that it was wasteful.

At this moment, Zi Chen's status in Hunter's Castle was not something resources could compare to.

"It's already over two hundred million."

With just a few words, two hundred million resources disappeared. This made Ming Zhu click his tongue again.

Then, he suddenly remembered something and said, "When Zi Chen broke through, it took him fifteen days and ten billion resources. This time, it won't take him fifteen days, right? If so, ten billion resources might not be enough."

Ling Xing said calmly, "Of course ten billion resources are not enough. Zi Chen used a Void Realm fragment to break through last time. The total value is ten billion. If he uses the same amount this time, it will be a hundred times more. That's a trillion resources."

Ming Zhu gasped. The surrounding cultivators were almost scared silly. A trillion resources. What kind of concept was that?

If converted to Realm Fragments, it would be ten thousand pieces.

One had to know that they had only spent six thousand pieces to buy a withered Void Tree.

"A trillion resources. A trillion resources."

Ming Zhu realized that his voice was trembling when he spoke. It seemed like he did not have a trillion resources on him.

Ling Xing sneered and said, "Why? Can't bear to part with it?"

Ming Zhu said seriously, "These resources are provided by Hunter's Castle, not me. Why can't I bear to part with it? However, even if I have to, I'm willing to do it."

Ling Xing looked at Ming Zhu with disdain. "You almost turned hostile when you offered ten billion resources. Now, you're willing to offer a trillion resources. It seems like you're also a snobbish layman."

Ming Zhu was stunned. He did not know what to say.

"It doesn't matter if I'm a layman or not. In any case, we must continue to provide these resources. Hunter's Castle is willing to provide two trillion resources, let alone a trillion resources." A hearty laugh came from outside. It was Lord Wu.

Everyone was shocked to see Lord Wu. However, most of them were busy and could not greet him.

Lord Wu waved his hand casually and said, "Don't worry about me. Now, you just need to take care of this great array. Don't let it stop."

Everyone agreed in unison.

Ling Xing looked at Lord Wu and asked with a smile, "Why? You're here too."

"Of course. I want to see how my resources are going to disappear. This time, I might lose a trillion resources. I can only be at ease when I see them disappear. You should know that with so many resources, I might be able to fill up an ocean." Lord Wu joked and looked at the great array in front of him.

Compared to Ming Zhu, Lord Wu's temperament and knowledge far surpassed him. He nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the resources that were continuously being depleted. He said, "Not bad. Only someone who can absorb resources at such an abnormal rate will have the ability to quickly break through the realm and possess unparalleled fighting strength. However … it seems that the speed at which the resources are being depleted is a little too fast."

In just a few words, hundreds of millions of resources were consumed.

It had not even been 60 minutes since Zi Chen broke through, but more than a billion resources had already been consumed.

Looking at the speed of the loss of resources, Ling Xing looked at Mr. Wu and said with uncertainty, "Maybe you are right. I'm afraid that a trillion resources really isn't enough."

The corners of Lord Wu's mouth twitched when he heard this. Then, he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It doesn't matter. It's just resources. When Zi Chen breaks through to the Domain Realm, he can kill a few more Domain Realm experts. If a trillion resources is not enough for Zi Chen to break through, then give him two trillion resources."

Ling Xing asked again, "What if two trillion resources are not enough?"

"Then … we'll see when the time comes," Lord Wu said.

Ming Zhu and Ling Xing laughed when they saw Lord Wu's expression.

Zi Chen's breakthrough had caused a huge commotion. Not only had it alarmed all the higher-ups, but it had also alarmed the other three people who were cultivating.

"What's going on? Why is there such a huge commotion?"

Wu Xie walked out of the cultivation room because he had clearly felt the spatial power fluctuate violently. He thought that there was a problem with the array and decided to check it out.

The spatial power had become extremely unstable, which had a huge impact on cultivation. Man Shi walked out as well.

The two of them arrived almost at the same time. When they saw that many people were there, they were very surprised.

"Everyone is here. Is the array broken?"

As they walked forward, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets when they saw the resources continuously disappearing from one of the arrays.

"What's going on?" Man Shi asked as he scratched his head.

Wu Xie seemed to have thought of something and said in disbelief, "Damn it! Could this be caused by Zi Chen? He … Could he have broken through again?"

"Zi Chen broke through? How is this possible? Also, could he have caused this? This is impossible. How can his absorption speed be so fast?" Man Shi said in disbelief.

Dong Qing, who had just arrived, didn't say anything. However, one could clearly see the shock in her eyes.

Shangguan Hong had somehow found out that Zi Chen was breaking through. She had also rushed over from her home to join in the fun.

Just as she was shocked by Zi Chen's terrifying absorption speed, she suddenly remembered what had happened last time. Last time, Zi Chen had refused to tell her what was going on. Now that she saw this scene, she could vaguely guess what was going on.

Zi Chen stood in his own Reality Space.

Just like the expansion of the Virtual Space, the Reality Space was expanding in the same way. A vast amount of pure energy was pouring in from the three-meter space.

Unlike last time, Zi Chen was completely awake this time. He knew how many resources he had consumed in this short period of time.

However, due to the uniqueness of his body, Zi Chen required an astronomical amount of resources in order to fully form his Reality Dimension.

After what had happened last time, he was certain that Hunter's Castle would fully support him. When he broke through, he would have an endless supply of resources. For Zi Chen, it was a shortcut to cultivation. Zi Chen didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"I still have hundreds of billions of resources on me. I'll compensate them when I get out. If it's not enough, I'll compensate them later. However, I must break through this time."

Zi Chen made up his mind after careful consideration.
