Chapter 916
Seeing Zi Chen's actions, the Huo Family's spiritual body was stunned. However, after realizing what Zi Chen was trying to do, it began to laugh out loud.
"Idiot, this sphere revolves towards the outside. Otherwise, how can these crystals and colorful lights be thrown out? Even if you're fast enough, you won't be able to follow the trajectory. You're just wasting your energy," the Huo Family's spiritual body mocked.
"Is that so?" Zi Chen's voice sounded again. However, he was not far away from the Huo Family's spiritual body.
Previously, Zi Chen was still outside the sphere, but now, he was inside the sphere. He turned into a bolt of silver lightning and spun around the sphere. It seemed like he was doing something useless, but in reality, he was following a certain trajectory and was slowly approaching the center of the sphere.
Seeing that Zi Chen was getting closer and closer to the center, the Huo Family's spiritual body knew that something was wrong. Flames surged around its body as it tried to forcibly take the jade piece.
Zi Chen saw this and sneered, "It's useless. This is mental work, not physical work."
As soon as Zi Chen finished speaking, a large number of colorful lights and crystals spun out and swept towards the Huo Family's spiritual body.
Seeing so many colorful lights coming, the latter's expression changed. Light flashed under its feet as its body turned into flames and retreated.
Although it narrowly avoided this wave of attacks, the Huo Family's spiritual body found that it had retreated to the periphery. When it looked at Zi Chen again, it was already very close.
Under the guidance of Zi Chen's high-quality spiritual senses, nothing unexpected happened. Zi Chen, who was spinning, successfully reached the center of the sphere. Then, with a flash, he left the orbit and grabbed the jade piece with one hand.
After grabbing the jade piece, Zi Chen felt as if he had grasped the laws. Then, he held the jade piece in his hand and put it away.
After the jade piece was taken away, the colorful lights and crystals began to slow down. Just as the Huo Family's spiritual body was stunned, Zi Chen dispersed the colorful lights and took away the surrounding crystals.
The Huo Clan's spirit body stared blankly at Zi Chen as he took away the thousands of crystals. He didn't stop him, nor did he try to snatch them away. It was unknown whether he was concerned about his reputation or if he had forgotten about this in his shock.
After collecting all the crystals, Zi Chen let out a sigh of relief. He raised the jade piece in his hand and said to the Huo Family's spirit body, "Look, this is mental work, not physical work."
In the face of Zi Chen's taunts, the Huo Family's spiritual body's expression instantly changed. However, before he could attack, Zi Chen had already put away the jade piece and flapped his lightning wings to fly toward another ball.
During this period of time, another two balls were taken away. They were obtained by the two native forces. Now, there were only four balls left.
With four gone, the giant ball didn't continue to replenish itself. It was clear that with every ball taken away, there would be one less. The others also sped up, and the other Xiantian realm martial artists also began to find their targets.
As the number of balls decreased, the people who hadn't obtained anything began to grow anxious. It was inevitable that they would become bolder. But, these balls were filled with all sorts of dangers, and they couldn't afford to be distracted. After becoming anxious, it was inevitable that they would be distracted. This led to several more Xiantian realm martial artists being struck by crystals and dying.
The demon ape didn't move forward. Instead, it stood in a safe zone and watched Zi Chen. At this time, Zi Chen had already finished deducing the second ball. He flapped his lightning wings and began to circle around the ball, approaching the depths from the edge.
The deduction time this time was much shorter, and there were some unforeseen events that occurred. Although they were only minor mistakes and weren't fatal, they still caused Zi Chen to break out in a cold sweat. It wasn't until Zi Chen smoothly obtained the second jade piece that the cold sweat finally dissipated.
The speed of the balls around him had greatly decreased. Zi Chen warned himself that he couldn't be careless, because carelessness could lead to death.
After Zi Chen obtained two jade pieces, the others also obtained theirs, causing the number of jade pieces here to decrease.
There were still eight balls left, but all of them were occupied, and there was more than one person inside.
The difficulty of obtaining the third jade piece had increased for Zi Chen, but he didn't give up. With a flap of his lightning wings, he arrived outside of one of the balls.
This was the largest of the eight balls. Inside, the Jin family's spiritual body was dodging the attacks of the crystals. The Tyrant Clan's Tyrant Body was also inside.
Zi Chen chose this one because both of them had just entered, and it would take some time for them to successfully obtain the jade pieces. During this time, if Zi Chen's luck was good enough and his deduction speed was fast enough, he could seize the opportunity to obtain the jade pieces.
After the two of them blocked the first wave of attacks, they saw Zi Chen in the outside world. The corners of their mouths curled up into a sneer, as if to tell Zi Chen that it was only now that they were done. After that, the two of them looked at each other, one on the left and one on the right, as they approached the center of the sphere from opposite directions.
In the outside world, Zi Chen had already memorized this ball at an extremely fast speed. Then, he let the ball rotate rapidly inside his sea of consciousness. As it rotated, Zi Chen would find an extremely safe path to go deeper.
Vibrations constantly came from the side. The jade pieces in the other balls were taken away, and then the balls disappeared.
Soon, out of the eight balls, only three were left. The other five had already been taken away. Other than the one that Zi Chen had deduced, the other two balls were being fought over by a few other people who were comparable to spirit bodies.
In one of the balls, there were three spiritual bodies. One of them was the spiritual body of the Mu family, another was the spiritual body of the assassin, and the last one was a young man from the Sword Sect who had a sword heart.
The three of them were not far from the center of the jade piece. They were within a controllable range, and they were ready to force their way through the last distance.
The spiritual body of the Mu family suddenly released a dazzling green light. This green light was a materialized energy, and it was filled with a powerful aura. After the green light appeared, it surrounded his body and quickly formed a green light shield on the surface of his body. The light shield had an extremely strong defense, and he directly flew toward the jade piece with the light shield.
During this time, when the colorful light landed on the light shield, it would immediately bounce off. When the crystals landed on the light shield, they would also make a loud sound and change their direction. The light shield had actually blocked the attack of the Spiritual Thought Crystals. This defensive power was simply incredible.
However, there were too many crystals, and they had a strong impact. This caused the spiritual body of the Mu family to greatly decrease his speed as he rushed forward. At the same time, the green light shield around him also became dim after withstanding the attacks. However, this green light shield was enough to last him until he got close to the jade piece.
Just as the spiritual body of the Mu family was about to attack the jade piece, the assassin also moved. Light flashed around his body, and he actually melted into the void and disappeared.
The Devil Ape had been watching him from the outside. This was because in the Devil Ape's opinion, he was the only one in the group who could silently approach Zi Chen and make Zi Chen suffer. Just as the assassin's figure disappeared, the Devil Ape had already activated the Delusion-breaker Eye.
Then, the Devil Ape's body trembled, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. This was because the Delusion-breaker Eye had not discovered the assassin's figure.
"Damn it, how could this be?"
The Devil Ape cursed. The red light in his eyes burned even brighter, like two sharp blades. After activating the Delusion-breaker Eye to the limit, he saw a blurry figure appear in the ball.
At this moment, this figure was rapidly dodging the crystals and colorful lights. Its speed was extremely fast, and as it dodged, it charged toward the jade piece in front of it. Furthermore, the Devil Ape clearly saw the crystal hit the figure, but it did not react. It was as if it had hit an illusory figure.
A loud sword hum suddenly sounded in the sky. The Sword Sect youth with the Heart of the Sword also made his move. The longsword on his back was unsheathed for the first time, and it emitted a blinding sword light. After the sword hum, the blinding light filled the entire ball.
The youth with the Heart of the Sword held the longsword and became one with it. With an indomitable force, he charged toward the jade piece in front of him.
The blinding sword light was like a materialized energy. Everywhere it passed, regardless of whether it was the crystals or the colorful lights, everything was blocked.
One person and one sword, who moved later but arrived first, shook off the attacks of the crystals and reached the jade piece. However, before he could grab the jade piece, a fierce attack came from beside him.
When the fierce attack appeared, it was accompanied by a monstrous killing intent. It was the assassin who had also arrived and made a powerful attack at the same time.
Just as the assassin was attacking the young man from the Sword Sect, a green light wrapped around the jade piece like a rope. The spiritual body of the Mu Family arrived just in time, but before it could grab the jade piece, a sharp sword light cut through the green light.
The three spiritual bodies fought for a jade piece for a short time. In an instant, light flashed and powerful energy surged. However, before everyone could see it clearly, the three of them had already stopped. The jade piece finally fell into the hands of the Sword Sect youth.
The three of them stood in three different directions, allowing the crystals around them to slow down. They did not continue to fight for it. The Sword Sect youth took the jade piece, and the other two flashed away.
As soon as this side ended, in another ball, the spiritual body of the Huo Family successfully took the jade piece. The people of the Shui Family and the Tu Family did not fight with him.
At this moment, in the huge ball world, there was only one ball left. The spiritual body of the Huo Family and the Tyrant Body were trying to get to the center.
As for Zi Chen, he was completely ignored because he was still deducing and had not yet entered.
Hei Ba and the others stared at the largest ball. From their eager and excited eyes, it could be seen that they did not care who got the ball. They just wanted the ball to disappear as soon as possible.
In addition to Hei Ba, the other people from the local forces also had the same expression.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on the two people in the ball. In their eyes, it was going to be a short battle.
However, at this moment, Zi Chen, who had been deducing outside, moved. He spread the thunder wings on his back and was about to enter.
Seeing that Zi Chen was about to enter, the spiritual body of the Huo Family had a mocking look on his face. He said disdainfully, "Idiot, he's about to get the jade piece. Don't you think it's too late?"
Although the others did not say anything, their expressions were similar to the spiritual body of the Huo Family. They all thought that Zi Chen had no chance. He was just going to show off his existence.
Because the two people in the sphere were not too far away from the jade piece, they could use their strength to force their way through. Zi Chen, on the other hand, needed some time to enter, and that time was enough for the jade piece to find its owner.
