Chapter 1424

It would be extremely difficult for Zi Chen to transform his strength and increase his realm.

His Reality Realm was just too big, as if it was a real world.

Back in the Void Realm, Zi Chen's mind had been in a berserk state due to Black Eagle's death. In order to increase his strength, he had directly caused the Void Realm to go berserk.

Although Zi Chen had been lucky enough to break through, the process had been fraught with danger and he had almost died.

As his strength increased, Zi Chen had encountered the same problem. This could not be called a bottleneck, because it was something that could not be solved through enlightenment.

This time, if Zi Chen had used the same trick again, he would have directly caused the Reality Realm to go berserk and self-destruct.

The path he had taken back then was already a dead end and could not be taken again. Zi Chen could only open up a new path.

But along the way, Zi Chen had not found a way to break through. Although he did not say it out loud, he had always been vexed in his heart. Because there was no way, he had been unable to break through and could only stop at the mid Reality Realm.

During this period of time, if he had not coincidentally obtained the Nine Star Lightning King Body, Zi Chen's battle prowess would likely only be one-fifth of his current strength. Not to mention becoming a king, even those leaders, Man Shi and the others, would not be able to match up to such battle prowess.

In fact, Zi Chen had been searching for a way to break through all this time. When he heard that this trading ground was said to only have things that could not be thought of and not bought, Zi Chen immediately became spirited and wanted to come over.

After arriving, the things sold here did not disappoint Zi Chen, until … he encountered a trace of the world's origin power.

This power was like a straw. It was usually useless, but at a critical moment, it could crush a camel. Although there were countless things that paved the way in the beginning, it was still this straw that played a crucial role in the end.

Looking at the sliver of power swimming like a fish in the crystal ball in his hand, Zi Chen's heart calmed down. There was neither joy nor sorrow. He was not sure if this sliver of power could truly help him. Next, he could only rely on luck.

The crystal ball broke and shattered, and the sliver of world's origin power appeared.

This was a trace of the World's Origin Energy, and it could evolve all kinds of energy in the world. The most miraculous thing about it was that it could forcibly increase this trace of energy.

When this strand of power entered Zi Chen's body, it was as if it originated from Zi Chen or came from the same source. After this strand of power entered his body, there was no need to refine it and it automatically changed.

In a short instant, this strand of power completely fused with the power in Zi Chen's body, causing Zi Chen's power to permanently increase by a sliver.

There was only a sliver of power. It seemed very little, but it was extremely useful.

It was at this moment that Zi Chen, who had already reached the pinnacle of his cultivation, was forcibly raised by a sliver of power. The injection of this sliver of power was equivalent to crossing a threshold. Although Zi Chen's current cultivation level wasn't at the late Corporeal realm, it had already surpassed the peak of the mid Corporeal realm.

When this sliver of power forcibly raised entered the Corporeal World, Zi Chen's Corporeal World had already grown to its limit. Here, the growth of power had also reached a peak, and even the Void Tree had stopped working.

In other words, in Zi Chen's Corporeal World, every sliver of power consumed would be replenished. Apart from that, his power would not increase any further.

However, the forceful injection of this sliver of power had broken this balance. Once this balance was broken, the Corporeal World would face collapse.

A withered blade of grass could crush a camel, and a sliver of power could collapse a world. Both of these represented the limits of power.

With the balance broken, Zi Chen's Corporeal World collapsed.

However, it was precisely because this sliver of power had only been injected that it wasn't very powerful. Although it had collapsed the Corporeal World, the speed at which it collapsed wasn't fast either.

If the Corporeal World was compared to a continent, then this continent was currently collapsing layer by layer from the outside like the inside.

When the Corporeal World collapsed, an even purer power emerged. This power surpassed the limits of what Zi Chen could withstand before, but it was still within the range of Zi Chen's spiritual senses.

Zi Chen opened his eyes. There was a hint of joy in his bright black eyes.

This was because at this moment, the moment the Corporeal World collapsed, he had already broken through to the late-stage Corporeal Realm.

Although Zi Chen's realm was almost negligible to the cultivators of the Manor Domain, where the average realm was at the Domain Realm, Zi Chen's battle prowess had greatly increased after his breakthrough. His realm could be ignored, but his battle prowess would definitely shock everyone.

This sliver of power had triggered a breakthrough in his realm, but this wasn't the real end.

When the Corporeal World completely collapsed and reformed, that would be the real end of the transformation triggered by this sliver of power.

When that happened, Zi Chen's realm would reach the Domain Realm.

During this period, all Zi Chen needed to do was wait for the Corporeal World to reform after it collapsed.

His Corporeal World was constantly changing, and Zi Chen's strength was constantly improving.

Once the changes stopped, it meant that the breakthrough was over.

Two million Luck Points had helped him break through to the Domain Realm. Zi Chen felt that it was worth it. It was too worth it.

…

…

While Zi Chen and the others were in seclusion, the news of Zi Chen killing Liu Yuan spread at an extremely fast speed.

During this period, no one could ignore the city Zi Chen was in.

One's glory and one's disgrace were closely related to one's city.

While everyone was shocked by Huping City's desperate counterattack, Liu Zongcheng naturally became the target of ridicule.

After all, the rise of Huping City's cultivators was because they had stepped on them.

In addition to Liu Zongcheng, news about the forces that Huping City's cultivators had massacred on the ninth floor of the Serene Tower also spread. For a time, almost all the cultivators on this floor were talking about the few people from Huping City.

In an instant, Hu Ping City's reputation reached the limit of this level.

Man Shi had been staying at the trading point. He still had a lot of Luck Points on him, so after a few days, the trading volume was also quite high.

Because of this bounty, the forces that had originally hidden their tokens reopened them.

This was because they were afraid that other forces would treat them as Liu Zongcheng's people and kill them.

The temptation of Luck Points was already very great. In addition, there were no rules in this world. Even Liu Yuan had been killed, so it was undoubtedly a joke for Liu Zongcheng's people to use the city's ranking to suppress others.

As a result, in the following battles, many forces attacked Liu Zongcheng's cultivators.

The first was that after killing them, he could obtain their items and their original Luck Points. The second was that their heads could be exchanged for 6,555 Luck Points.

As the battle became more and more intense, Liu Zongcheng's cultivators who stayed in this area also suffered heavy casualties.

In desperation, they could only choose to enter the next floor.

Although they were not prepared and the casualty rate on the next floor was higher, it was still better than being killed here.

However, they never expected that there were still many people guarding the entrance.

Thus, another great battle broke out. After leaving behind many corpses, Liu Zongcheng's cultivators also killed a bloody path and entered the next floor.

However, they were more or less injured. Even if they entered the next floor, they would probably die.

In just a few days, Liu Zongcheng's cultivators could no longer be seen on this floor.

When Xue Ming heard this news, he also shook his head repeatedly. At the same time, he secretly cursed the leader for being a brainless person. For the sake of so-called face, he turned a good ally into an enemy, resulting in heavy casualties.

A large part of the reason why Liu Zongcheng's people were dissatisfied with Zi Chen and the others was actually because of Zi Chen's threat back then.

At that time, they had given in. However, when they thought about how they were threatened by the people of Hu Ping City and how they were led by their people, they felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

As a result, once they had the chance, they would speak up and reveal their identity.

After reaching this floor, they believed that they had an expert who could compare to Zi Chen, so they were even less afraid of Zi Chen and the others.

Actually … this was the so-called 'pride' at work, and 'face' at work.

To Xue Ming, it was an extremely normal thing to want face and self-esteem. However, the prerequisite was that you had to have the corresponding strength.

If not, Liu Zongcheng was the best lesson.

As for the other forces who were dissatisfied but deliberately suppressed them, they were all secretly relieved.

Fortunately, it was not them who stood up, but Liu Zongcheng.

Zi Chen had killed Liu Yuan, who was said to be comparable to a high-level life form. His battle strength had already reached the peak of this floor. Such an existence was high and mighty, so if there were forces who wanted to curry favor with him, they would need to consider themselves.

Even if they saw the location of the main hall where Zi Chen lived, they still hesitated and did not go up to befriend him.

This naturally included Xue An City where Xue Ming lived.

In fact, Zi Chen was no longer in the main hall. After breaking through, Zi Chen went into seclusion for two days. He left the main hall and began to set foot in this place.

He still had close to a million luck points. This number was still huge, so he planned to try his luck here and see if he could find some opportunities.

During this period, he set foot in many places and felt some special fluctuations. However, after entering, he gained nothing.

Of course, it was not that there were no opportunities here, but that Zi Chen had come a step too late and the opportunities had been taken away in advance.

"Boom."

A surge of energy swept out. Zi Chen met an opponent who was on par with him. It was a guardian beast with great strength.

After using almost all of his methods to kill this beast, Zi Chen found that this place of opportunity was still empty.

On this floor, Zi Chen also encountered some other powerful existences, but after trying his best to kill them, he gained nothing.

Zi Chen's expression became more and more solemn. This was not because of the gains, but because of those powerful guardians.

Such powerful existences could be killed, and when the other party killed them for the first time, it was obvious that the guardian was stronger.

"There are high-level life forms here, and there must be a lot of them."
