He hadn't expected that the power from the backlash could help Xiao Chen break through. Now, Xiao Chen hoped that these people would attack slower so that the array formation wouldn't be broken so easily.
Time passed slowly as Xiao Chen continued to repair and improve. On the other side, Tagan Shanxiong realized that Xiao Chen seemed to be fine. He was secretly surprised!
This Xiao Chen looked like a Martial Master Level 1 Demonic Cultivator previously. Why was it that the abilities he displayed now were completely different?
Although he couldn't sense Xiao Chen's specific strength because Xiao Chen hadn't made a move yet, whether it was the aura Xiao Chen was displaying or the time he had spent resisting the backlash, it proved that this guy was definitely a third-level Martial Master Demonic Cultivator!
This discovery made Tagan Shanxiong's heart tremble. He was only a fifth-level Martial Master. He had thought that Xiao Chen wouldn't be able to survive this round of backlash. Once the array formation was opened, there would be nothing left for Xiao Chen. But now, it seemed that this guy was still very tenacious.
This was because Tagan Shanxiong knew that there wouldn't be many Extraterrestrial Ink Meteorites in the ruins. He was afraid that there would only be two or three pieces. They didn't even have enough for their own people, so why should they share it with Xiao Chen?
Previously, he had tricked Xiao Chen into coming here. In this world, the easiest lies to deceive people were half-truths and half-lies. That was how he had done it. He had weaved a very convincing lie, but he had underestimated Xiao Chen's strength.
However, at this moment, he couldn't care less about Xiao Chen. He could only continue to attack the array gloomily. Perhaps he would find another opportunity later. If it really didn't work, he would hint to his teammates to join forces and kill Xiao Chen. In any case, he couldn't let him get the Extraterrestrial Ink Meteorites!
It would be fine if there were too many of them, but if there were too few, there definitely wouldn't be enough to share. He was absolutely unwilling to watch Xiao Chen take it away.
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, didn't care. He kept healing and improving. He already couldn't remember how much time had passed. Under the powerful force, there was almost no place on his body that wasn't injured. Often, when one place was healed, another place would be seriously injured.
He could only continue to be a firefighter and heal himself.
However, he didn't find it troublesome at all. Every time he recovered, his strength would increase.
Suddenly, he felt a hissing sound coming from within his body, and a moment later, this sound caused all the meridians in his body to tremble slightly. Yuan Qi began to circulate wildly in his body, and like a tidal wave, it gathered in his dantian.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. This wasn't the first time he had such a feeling. He knew that he was about to break through again!
Sure enough, the next moment, after Xiao Chen healed the injuries on his body, his whole body shook, and he also broke through!
He became a cultivator at the peak of the first level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and he broke through without using any cultivation resources. This was a very rare situation. From the looks of it, the power of the backlash definitely contained something similar to spiritual energy. However, it was offensive in nature. Under the mental cultivation method's mnemonic chant, as his injuries healed, it fused with the Primordial Qi in his body, allowing him to break through!
Xiao Chen's breakthrough did not attract too much attention. This was because he was a cultivator. His breakthrough was different from that of a Martial Cultivator or a Demonic Cultivator. Moreover, he was circulating the energy of the backlash, so no one noticed anything at all.
Tagan, Shanxiong, and the others were constantly attacking the array, and they were also paying attention to Xiao Chen's matter.
Finally, with everyone's attacks, the array let out a loud bang, and on Xiao Chen's side, he also welcomed the most powerful attack since the beginning … It was too awesome!
Xiao Chen felt that with this attack, he had suddenly consolidated his strength at the peak of the first level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. This made his whole body tremble, and he felt a little regretful. How could he break the array so quickly?
If he continued to break it endlessly, would he eventually be pushed to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage? Of course, it was just a thought, and it shouldn't be possible.
Xiao Chen pretended that he didn't know anything, stood up, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said, "This backlash is too f * cking strong, I almost died, especially the last attack. Fortunately, everyone was strong, or else I really wouldn't have been able to hold on!"
"Haha, this is enough to prove that Young Hero Xiao's strength is superb, congratulations!" Although Tagan and Shanxiong looked very happy, they were very regretful in their hearts. If they had known, they would have broken it a little longer. This guy actually seemed to be fine, what should they do?
"Yeah, I thought I couldn't hold on any longer. Captain Tagan, are you kidding me? Why do I feel that the backlash is so strong?" Xiao Chen nodded and said.
"How can that be? I haven't experienced any backlash, but it is true that the backlash is very strong, but aren't you also fine? "Tagan Shanxiong said.
"That's true, then let's quickly go in!" Xiao Chen said.
"En!" Tagan Shanxiong seemed a little impatient, but in his heart, he was thinking about how to get rid of Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Cheng, you stay at the entrance!" After Tagan Shanxiong finished speaking, he took the lead and stepped into the array. Xiao Chen followed closely behind, and the other three teammates also followed. They didn't expect that after stepping into the array, they would suddenly see a completely different world in front of them. The dense forest before had turned into a dark corridor.
After entering the array, they needed one person to stay outside. If there was a problem, they wouldn't be completely annihilated. Moreover, if someone came from outside, they could also notify them.
"This is the Paoli Clan's secret treasure house. Originally, the Paoli Clan probably left in a hurry and didn't take some of the treasures here with them. That's why it's our turn." Tagan Shanxiong explained to everyone as they walked, "But we can't let our guard down now that we're in. This place could be filled with danger at any time …"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong, Captain Tagan?" Xiao Chen was also secretly on guard, and asked in a calm and puzzled manner.
"I feel that there is some danger ahead." Tagan Shanxiong said, then took out something that looked like a small ball from his backpack and threw it forward.
Sure enough, when the ball rolled over, a large rock fell from the sky without any warning and smashed into the road ahead. Everyone was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat!
If not for Tagan Shanxiong's warning, it was likely that at least two people would have been hit, and that would be Tagan Shanxiong and Xiao Chen, who were walking at the front.
Xiao Chen was also shocked, "That was close, Captain Tagan. How did you find out?"
"Speaking from experience." Tagan Shanxiong waved his hand and said with a solemn expression, "Look at the color of the ground in front. It's a little different. I'm afraid that not only can this rock fall, it can also rise."
After saying that, Tagan Shanxiong walked forward. After taking two steps, the rock rose again without any warning and disappeared.
"Oh? Will it fall again? "Xiao Chen asked.
"Probably not." Tagan Shanxiong said, "It should only fall once in a period of time. Everyone just hurry up and pass through!"
No one dared to be negligent and quickly followed behind Tagan Shanxiong. Along the way, they encountered many similar traps, but they were easily dispelled by Tagan Shanxiong. It seemed that he was indeed adept at exploring ruins.
Although this person was using Xiao Chen as cannon fodder, Xiao Chen had to admit that if he had not followed Tagan Shanxiong, he would not have been able to enter even if he had broken the array formation.
"Phew …" Tagan Shanxiong led everyone to the end of the corridor and finally arrived in front of a door. He let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, there's nothing else. We have arrived at our destination!"
Hearing this, everyone, including Xiao Chen, relaxed. Although it was not difficult along the way and Tagan Shanxiong had led the team to resolve the traps, if Tagan Shanxiong had overlooked something, wouldn't everyone have suffered?
Now that they had arrived safely, they were naturally very happy. However, Xue Qian said, "Captain Tagan, why don't you open the door?"
This was Xue Qian's third sentence along the way! The first sentence was a self-introduction, the second to remind Xiao Chen to be careful, and this was the third sentence.
Xue Qian's sudden words made Xiao Chen's eyelids twitch again. Xue Qian did not seem to want him to die. She had warned him once before, so why did she say it again?
"This door is the same as before. It can only be opened by a demonic cultivator. Let's all step back and give Young Hero Xiao a chance to perform!" Tagan Shanxiong said.
F * ck your chance to perform! Xiao Chen cursed in his heart. It was probably a chance to die, right? Xiao Chen did not believe that there was a need for demonic cultivators here. Normally, Xiao Chen should have been dead when the formation was being broken. How could he have survived until now to open the door?
At that time, Tagan Shanxiong obviously wanted to use him as cannon fodder. If he had died at that time, who could Tagan Shanxiong find now?
"Ah, do you need me again?" Xiao Chen still had to rely on Tagan Shanxiong, so it was not good to fall out with him for the time being. Who knew if there would be traps inside after the door was opened, so Xiao Chen could only pretend that he did not know and ask.
Xue Qian glanced at Xiao Chen but did not speak. Tagan Shanxiong said, "It's very simple. Just use your full strength to break open the door!"
"Oh, then you guys can dodge. I'm going to use a big move. Just now, I was resisting the formation's backlash, so I don't have much strength now. I have to use a big move in one go!" Xiao Chen said.
"Okay, everyone, step back!" Tagan Shanxiong sneered in his heart. We won't go forward even if you ask us to. Whoever rushes in first will die. Originally, he thought that you would die while breaking the formation. At this time, he planned to sacrifice one of his teammates. However, since Xiao Chen was still alive, it would naturally be Xiao Chen!
The teammate he was referring to was Xue Qian. Although Xue Qian had teamed up with them a few times, she was cold and arrogant. She rarely spoke, so her relationship with Tagan Shanxiong and the others was not very good. Usually, in the group, she rarely chatted. Usually, when there was nothing to do, she would just lurk.
Most importantly, he saw Xue Qian's voluptuous figure. Although he did not know her appearance, he hinted several times that he wanted her to be his woman. However, Xue Qian did not agree. In his anger, Tagan Shanxiong treated Xue Qian as cannon fodder.
