Chapter 873

Everyone's physical strength had greatly increased, so they naturally couldn't leave immediately. This situation was similar to Zi Chen's situation. They needed to carefully sense their strength and understand how to use it.

Although girls had a strong adaptability to strength, they still needed time to get used to it.

While everyone was adapting to their new strength, Zi Chen wasn't idling around either. He was comprehending the Heaven Splitter Spear Art. If he found a treasure here, it was very likely that he would be attacked by all the Xiantian masters. Therefore, every bit of strength he had was better than nothing.

The Heaven Splitter Spear Art only had eight forms. Only when all eight forms were mastered and integrated would it have the power to split the heavens. If not, then the Heaven Splitter Spear Art would only be a slightly stronger Xiantian spear technique.

In his Knowledge Sea, the spear shadows flashed. Zi Chen had completely memorized the first form. Although he had memorized the first form, the second form had yet to appear. Obviously, he would have to wait until he comprehended the first form.

Just memorizing the first form took Zi Chen more than ten days.

After more than a month, almost all the resources and inheritances on the seventh floor had been swept clean. Except for a few places where there were still battles, everyone else had gathered at the entrance to the eighth floor.

Numerous Xiantian masters were jointly attacking the restrictions. This was a strange restriction with a repulsive force. Every time they struck out, there would be a repulsive force of the same magnitude. Encountering this repulsive force, the best case scenario was being injured, while the worst case scenario was dying.

Not only that, but this kind of rebounding force was not one to one. Whoever struck out would be the one to suffer the rebounding force. Perhaps the strongest strike of a Xiantian realm martial artist would be reflected back onto a Houtian realm martial artist. This was equivalent to the Houtian realm martial artist withstanding a Xiantian realm martial artist's strike, and would most likely die.

As the number of dead Houtian masters increased, everyone learned to be smart. The Houtian masters all retreated, leaving the Xiantian masters to attack.

Xiantian masters were very strong, and every strike they struck out was extremely powerful. However, some Xiantian masters couldn't hold on for long and retreated. This was because the repulsive force was too strong. Without any preparation, it was very difficult to resist. Therefore, those who weren't strong enough and couldn't withstand the repulsive force for a long time also quickly retreated. The remaining ones were the stronger ones.

Sweeping through the seventh floor had taken more than a month, but breaking the restriction took another half a month.

The restriction was too special. Even after half a month, it still hadn't been broken. Although everyone was anxious, there was nothing they could do.

Such a long period of time was enough for Tyrant and the others to achieve a double breakthrough and barely control the strength in their bodies.

After nearly two months, the items on the sixth level had already been completely plundered. The group did not stay here for long, and headed straight for the seventh level.

After reaching the seventh floor, he rushed to the entrance of the eighth floor.

Zi Chen was accompanied by beautiful women and riding on exotic beasts. He attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared. Zi Chen's group had disappeared for two months. This time, they had officially reappeared.

Su Mengyao and the other two beauties were the most eye-catching, followed by the three strange beasts, and finally Zi Chen. Even the weird bald monk was more eye-catching than Zi Chen.

The moment Zi Chen appeared, several people flew towards him. They were Lei Ming, Xia Xin, and the other two.

"Zi Chen."

The four of them had obviously heard that Zi Chen had killed a Xiantian expert. The moment they appeared, they looked at Zi Chen with strange expressions. Moreover, when they saw the beauties and exotic beasts beside him, they were secretly amazed.

"What's the situation now?" Zi Chen asked.

"The restriction on the eighth floor is too strong. It has a repulsive force. No matter if it's a long-range attack or a close-range attack, there will be a repulsive force. More than ten people have died, and several Xiantian experts have also suffered heavy injuries. Now, there are less than twenty Xiantian experts who dare to break the restriction. The five forces have yet to make a move, and are only observing." Lei Ming quickly said.

"Repulsive force." Zi Chen frowned and looked into the distance.

There was a huge restriction there, and more than ten Xiantian experts were trying their best to break it. However, every time they attacked, there would be a strong repulsive force that pushed back several people.

"The restriction is indeed strange. Let's go and take a look."

Zi Chen and the others stepped forward. Wherever they passed, the others would make way for them. Zi Chen walked towards the restriction. There, the leaders of the five forces were also there.

When Zi Chen appeared, the five of them greeted him. Even the sword ninja nodded from afar.

"I'll go take a look at the restriction."

After nodding, Zi Chen walked towards the restriction in front of him. During this time, no one tried to stop him. Zi Chen had once killed a Xiantian Realm cultivator with a single strike. Everyone knew that Zi Chen's battle prowess was strong, so no one dared to provoke him.

Zi Chen walked in front of the restriction and released his Yuan Qi to sense it.

"It's useless. We've already tried this method." A Xiantian expert at the side said.

In this half a month, they had used almost all the methods they could think of, but it was useless. There were only two ways to break the restriction. One was to break it with a single strike, and the other was to slowly wear it down.

The first method obviously would not work. As for the second method, it was feasible, but it would take an unimaginable amount of time.

It might take a few months, or even half a year.

Zi Chen's Yuan Qi flowed out from his fingers, slithering along the restriction like a thin snake. Previously, no one paid much attention to it because they had already thought of this method. But after Zi Chen's Yuan Qi spread out for five meters, their expressions became serious.

Regardless of whether Zi Chen could break the restriction or not, just his control over his Yuan Qi was enough to make them gasp in amazement.

When the Yuan Qi spread out for seven meters, everyone's expressions became serious. But this was not the end. Soon, Zi Chen's Yuan Qi spread out for ten meters, reaching twenty meters.

When the Yuan Qi reached twenty meters, everyone's expressions changed again. Regardless of battle strength, Zi Chen's control over his Yuan Qi had already surpassed 44% of the experts here.

After Zi Chen sensed it, he withdrew his Yuan Qi. During this time, Golden Flame and the others had already walked over.

"This restriction is very strange. It can either be broken with a single strike or slowly worn down. Brother Zi Chen, do you have a way to break it in one strike?" Golden Flame asked.

Beside him, the others also looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "I do have a way."

"What? You have a way?"

"Zi Chen, you can't lie to us."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Zi Chen nodded. "I really do have a way, and I have an eighty percent chance of breaking it. But …"

"But what?" The six of them looked at Zi Chen in unison.

Zi Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll tell you the truth. I'm confident that I can break this formation, but the consumption is too great, and we can't afford it."

"Us."

"That's right. I can't break it with my own strength. I need the help of my friends. Once we break the restriction, we'll consume a lot of our own Yuan Qi."

Hearing Zi Chen's words, everyone was still a little confused. Why did he have to say that if he consumed a lot of Yuan Qi, he could just replenish it later.

Among the group, only Xia Xin understood. He pursed his lips and smiled. Obviously, Zi Chen was going to extort them again.

Seeing that the six of them didn't react, Zi Chen thought to himself that they didn't know the ways of the world.

At this moment, Tyrant stepped forward and said, "Zi Chen, it's fine if we expend our energy. At the very most, after we break open the restriction, we can ask them to let us in for an hour first. After that, they can come in an hour later. That way, we can make up for the energy we expended in breaking the restriction."

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed immediately. If Zi Chen's group went in for an hour, then they would get all the good stuff. The worlds on the first few levels were very big. Although they guessed that the world on the eighth level wasn't small, no one was willing to let Zi Chen's group go in for an hour first.

The rogue cultivators weren't willing, and the major forces were even more unwilling.

Zi Chen thought to himself that this damn baldy was smart. Zi Chen nodded and said, "This is a good suggestion. What do you think?"

There was no need to think about this question. It was obviously impossible. Immediately, many people shouted loudly to express their dissatisfaction.

However, those who were shouting were all Loose Cultivators. These people had nothing to fear other than their mouths, so Zi Chen simply ignored their wild shouts.

Zi Chen stared at the six of them. Naturally, the six of them were unwilling, but they couldn't say it out loud. They pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, "Brother Zi Chen, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate."

"It's inappropriate." Zi Chen looked at the six of them.

"Yes, Brother Zi Chen, think about it. There are so many people here. If Brother Zi Chen goes in for an hour, with Brother Zi Chen's extreme speed, we won't be able to do anything. However, we can't let Brother Zi Chen suffer and break the restriction for nothing."

Zi Chen nodded and said, "Yes, that makes sense. Then it's good to go in for a quarter of an hour first."

Golden Flame smiled and said, "Brother Zi Chen, you misunderstand. What I mean is that we can give Brother Zi Chen some compensation to make up for his consumption. After breaking the restriction, we'll go in together."

"Reward." Zi Chen frowned, seemingly unwilling to do so.

"Brother Zi Chen, don't worry. The compensation we give will definitely satisfy Brother Zi Chen."

Golden Flame didn't wait for Zi Chen to reply. He turned his head and said, "All the leaders of the forces who want to enter the eighth floor ahead of time, come out."

Some of the leaders of the forces in the distance were stunned when they heard this, but they quickly reacted and walked over.

"If there are less than five Xiantian Realm masters in your force, don't come," Golden Flame said again.

A moment later, a total of six people arrived. These six were all leaders of the forces. Not counting the number of Houtian cultivators under them, just the number of Xiantian cultivators was more than five.

Six people meant thirty. In addition to the six forces in front of them, the number of Xiantian cultivators was even more enormous.

If they really found the treasure and were besieged, Zi Chen and the others would definitely die.

Golden Flame seemed to be very dissatisfied with the arrival of six more people. He said to the void, "You cowards also don't want to come? If you don't come, I can guarantee that you won't be the first to enter the eighth floor."

As soon as Golden Flame finished speaking, the void suddenly trembled. A figure wrapped in a black robe appeared. This person's face was covered, only revealing a pair of very ordinary eyes.
