Chapter 839

Lei Ming had just sat down when Zi Chen's voice rang out in his mind-sea.

"Don't relax your vigilance while comprehending a technique. If you notice anything strange, quickly flee."

Zi Chen's transmission confused Lei Ming. A green light shot over from the distance. It was actually the barbarian dragon.

The barbarian dragon coiled around Lei Ming's waist, giving him a fright.

"Remember, be careful." Zi Chen transmitted again.

Lei Ming stayed behind, but no one said anything. As for the barbarian dragon leaving, although everyone had strange expressions, they didn't say anything.

The reason Zi Chen had left Lei Ming and the barbarian dragon behind was because of the gazes of the Xiantian experts. Clearly, this place was generous to the Lei Clan. Perhaps there were some special places that required the Lei Clan to open.

Zi Chen and Lei Ming were both members of the Lei Clan. But compared to Zi Chen, Lei Ming was weaker and easier to control.

So Zi Chen had kept an eye out for Lei Ming. For Lei Ming's safety, he had ordered the barbarian dragon to protect him. As for himself, Zi Chen was confident that even if he was surrounded, he would be able to escape with his extreme speed.

The Houtian realm warriors had been following them as they ventured deeper. Although they couldn't comprehend the Xiantian level techniques, but in this area, if they were lucky enough, they could obtain a combination of Xiantian and Houtian level techniques.

That kind of technique was publicly recognized as the strongest.

For example, the Lei Clan's long-lost Nine Fleeting Lightning was a kind of footwork technique that combined Xiantian and Houtian techniques. Before the Six Fleeting Lightning, that footwork technique would only be considered a Houtian technique. But after the Seven Fleeting Lightning, it would become a Xiantian technique.

Other than that, there were also many techniques that fused Xiantian and Houtian techniques. It was said that those techniques were created by powerful Xiantian experts for their juniors. They could allow their juniors to grow stronger step by step.

But the techniques they created were only Xiantian techniques that were fused with Houtian techniques. In the entire history of the Martial Heaven Continent, there hadn't been many people who were able to create Xiantian techniques.

Furthermore, in the entire Martial Sky Continent, there were all kinds of strange resources and strange cultivation techniques. The number of Xiantian martial artists that could be created was high, but the number of Xiantian techniques was pitifully small.

Therefore, even if one was a Xiantian martial artist, it was impossible for them to possess multiple Xiantian techniques. Under normal circumstances, they would only possess one, or at most two. Compared to possessing several or even more than ten Houtian techniques, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Therefore, Innate-stage techniques were always in high demand.

As they moved forward, they encountered their first restriction.

This restriction was a test of strength. Everyone looked at each other. Then, a Hou Tian warrior made a move.

After accumulating power for three seconds, the opponent unleashed an extremely powerful attack. With a loud bang, the restriction was shattered.

After the restrictions were broken, the group continued to advance. Another layer of restrictions was broken, and there was nothing else inside. There were only one or two Postcelestial techniques.

Everyone's focus was not here, so they continued to advance.

Along the way, Xia Xin informed him that this restriction could only be attacked once. If the first attack failed, then the second attack would be useless.

After that, the second and third restrictions were broken with great force. The deeper they went, the stronger the defenses of the restrictions became.

By the time they reached the fourth restriction, the strength of the restrictions had exceeded the attack range of a Houtian martial artist. Only a Xiantian martial artist could make a move.

The five people looked at each other. Then, Qin Li made a move.

Everyone retreated. Qin Li stood in front of the restriction, his body surging with Xiantian Yuan Qi. This was the first time Zi Chen had seen a Xiantian martial artist make a move. It was also the first time he had sensed the five elements Xiantian Yuan Qi.

Qin Li used the power of water. This kind of Yuan Qi contained traces of coldness, like ice, causing people to feel extremely uncomfortable.

After pushing his Xiantian Yuan Qi to the limit, Qin Li waved his palm. A terrifying ice aura surged out.

This layer of defensive restriction shattered with a bang.

Next, the fifth, sixth, and seventh restrictions were broken by the other three Xiantian martial artists. They controlled the Xiantian Yuan Qi of wood, fire, and earth.

Zi Chen was lucky enough to see four of the five elements. Then, the eighth restriction was broken by Xia Xin. The power Xia Xin controlled was actually the power of gold.

The five of them actually represented all five elements. This surprised Zi Chen. Today, Zi Chen finally saw the five elements Xiantian Yuan Qi.

After the eighth restriction was broken, no one found any Xiantian techniques. Next was the ninth restriction. This restriction had caused them to return in defeat last time.

"Zi Chen, the last time we came here, we couldn't break through the restrictions on the ninth floor," Xia Xin explained.

Zi Chen looked at Xia Xin and asked doubtfully, "If you can't break it, can I?"

The five of them each made a move. Although they didn't use any Xiantian techniques, Zi Chen could still feel their strength. If they only used Xiantian Yuan Qi, Zi Chen wouldn't be a match for any of them.

Because these people were already at the peak of the Inner Core realm. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the strongest.

"The restriction on the ninth level has a strong lightning attribute. You're from the Lightning Clan, so you might be able to break it," Xia Xin explained.

Just as they were talking, a bolt of lightning flashed across the restriction, bringing with it a bright silver light.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try."

Because this restriction could only be attacked once, no one touched it before, nor did they show it to Zi Chen.

Zi Chen stood in front of the ninth restriction while the others retreated. On one hand, Zi Chen needed to accumulate energy. On the other hand, they retreated to signal to Zi Chen that he could attack with all his strength. They wouldn't sneak up on him.

Looking at the nine restrictions in front of him, Zi Chen didn't immediately accumulate energy to attack. Instead, he released his spiritual senses. Zi Chen had also released his spiritual senses in the first eight restrictions and carefully sensed them.

However, it had to be said that under the sensing of Zi Chen's spiritual senses, the eight restrictions that seemed stronger and stronger to the others were the same to Zi Chen's spiritual senses.

Now that his spiritual senses sensed the restriction on the ninth level, Zi Chen suddenly realized that what his spiritual senses sensed was actually the same restriction.

"Why is it like this?" Zi Chen looked at the restriction with a look of confusion on his face.

Under the sensing of his spiritual senses, this restriction didn't seem to exist. Not to mention accumulating energy to attack, Zi Chen felt that even if he poked it lightly with his finger, it would break.

The confusion on Zi Chen's face gradually turned into a strange expression. Behind him, the people who were quietly waiting for Zi Chen to exert his strength were also puzzled when they didn't see Zi Chen accumulating energy for a long time.

As time passed, the crowd's confusion turned into impatience. However, seeing that Zi Chen didn't move, they didn't want to disturb him.

After a long time, the crowd finally lost their patience. After a few Xiantian Realm martial artists exchanged glances, they all looked at Yao Tingfei.

The latter didn't get along with Zi Chen in the first place, so there was no harm in saying a few more words.

Seeing the crowd's gazes and understanding the meaning of their gazes, Yao Tingfei's face immediately filled with displeasure. However, he couldn't do anything at this moment. He could only shout at Zi Chen, "Hey, I'll talk."

But before Yao Tingfei could finish speaking, Zi Chen finally moved. However, he wasn't accumulating energy. Instead, he gently pointed his finger forward without the slightest bit of energy.

"Don't!"

Seeing Zi Chen's actions, one of the Xiantian Realm martial artists shouted, "It doesn't matter if you're accumulating energy or not. As long as you point your finger, it'll count as an attack. You, you …"

Just like Yao Tingfei, this Xiantian Realm martial artist hadn't finished speaking when a shocking scene occurred in front of him.

He saw Zi Chen's finger gently pass through the nine layers of restrictions as if there was nothing there. After his finger passed through the restrictions, his entire hand and his right arm followed.

Behind him, the crowd was completely stupefied. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

During this time, Zi Chen's entire right arm and body had already passed through the restrictions. Before the crowd could shout 'don't!', Zi Chen's entire body had already passed through the restrictions and disappeared.

He was gone just like that, but the restrictions were still there.

Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at each other again. A cold light suddenly appeared in Qin Li's eyes. Then the yuan energy within his body began to surge. His entire body transformed into a ray of blue light that fiercely attacked the nine layers of restrictions in front of him.

"Boom!"

Qin Li's powerful Xiantian technique instantly bombarded the nine layers of restrictions. To Zi Chen, these restrictions were extremely easy. But in front of Qin Li, they were like iron walls.

After a violent explosion, a shockwave came from the restrictions, and Qin Li was instantly sent flying by the shockwave.

"Damnit, how could this be?!" An exasperated voice came from Qin Li's mouth.

Not only Qin Li, but the others also couldn't understand how Zi Chen could pass through such a strong defense so easily.

Seeing this, Xia Xin smiled bitterly and said, "As expected, these things were prepared for the aboriginals. As outsiders, it's much more difficult for us to get the things here."

"What should we do now? Are we going to let that Zi Chen take advantage of us? Damnit, that's a Xiantian technique, a technique that makes everyone go crazy." He Ze cursed.

"Hmph, we can't just let it go like this. Didn't Zi Chen want the Xiantian technique? Very well, he'll get it. But we'll guard here. As long as he dares to come out, we'll kill him together."

Lan Lang said with a gloomy face.

They had paid too much for this, but they didn't expect that someone would beat them to it.

Just when everyone was vexed, Yao Tingfei's eyes lit up. Then, his body began to flicker as he flew towards the back.

"Yao Tingfei, where are you going?" Qin Li shouted.

"Lei Ming, did you forget Lei Ming? He's still outside. As long as we catch him, we can go in." Yao Tingfei said excitedly.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. Because they were too angry, they actually forgot about Lei Ming. Lei Ming was also a member of the Lei Clan, so he could definitely go in.

"Then hurry up and bring a few more people. We must bring him here." Qin Li said coldly.
