Not right!
Qin Chen hurriedly stopped his movements. He came to his senses; those cloaked figures must have also realized that his light sphere was about to be broken, and they clearly were going to take action.
"I can't break the light sphere just yet."
Qin Chen's greatest reliance right now was his own defense. With the Demon Armor, he was generally invulnerable to early peak Human Level Martial Kings.
But a hero can't withstand too many enemies. If these people in the field teamed up, even if they couldn’t kill him, they could still cause him significant trouble. Moreover, in terms of speed, he was still at a disadvantage compared to a Human Level Martial King. If a competition broke out, he might not hold an absolute advantage.
"Currently, I’m stuck at half-step Martial King and unable to break through because I can't comprehend a realm that surpasses my past life. However, the Spatial Law is certainly a realm much more profound than Sword Intent or Blade Intent. If I can grasp a portion of the Spatial Law and enter the path with it, I will surely be able to step into the Human Level Martial King."
"So, I can't be anxious."
Taking a deep breath, Qin Chen's mood calmed down. His spiritual power immediately began to penetrate through the over a thousand intact prohibitions to comprehend what kind of treasure the jade slip containing the Spatial Law was.
However, even with over a thousand prohibitions remaining, Qin Chen's seventh-level spiritual power still couldn't penetrate the light sphere to make substantial contact with the jade slip.
"If spiritual power won't work, let's try with soul power. If that doesn't work either, I’ll have to break through some more prohibitions. However, with only a thousand prohibitions left, the light sphere is already showing some instability. If I break through more, it might shatter at any time, and that would definitely cause trouble."
Qin Chen activated his soul power, quietly rushing toward the light sphere. What excited him was that this time, although the light sphere blocked over ninety percent of his soul power, still less than ten percent of it quietly penetrated the light sphere and wrapped around the ancient jade slip.
"Buzz!"
A vast wave of Spatial Law surged into Qin Chen's mind, giving him the illusion of shattering the void and leaving this place.
"What a terrifying Spatial Law."
Qin Chen was shocked. The strength of the Spatial Law contained in this jade slip was even more frightening than that comprehended by an ordinary Martial Emperor. He couldn’t tell what material the jade slip was made of, but just touching it made him feel as if it contained an endless continental expanse.
"First, let's try refining this jade slip!"
Not daring to make any large movements, Qin Chen wrapped his soul power around it, attempting to refine the jade slip. Just as his soul power was about to refine it, a powerful spatial force violently bounced back, not giving him the chance to refine it.
"Poof!"
Hit by the rebound of the spatial force, Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. His strong physical body surprisingly had no resistance against this spatial force.
The spatial force penetrated through space, which was frighteningly strong.
"That kid was just about to break the light sphere, so why did he suddenly go quiet?"
In the passageway, the group of cloaked figures looked at Qin Chen with confusion. Then they saw him suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
"This guy, could it be that he’s exhausted and is spitting blood?"
A few were dumbfounded. The other Martial Kings were attacking frantically. Although they were panting, at most, they just looked a bit pale. They had never seen someone like Qin Chen who was so exhausted that he was spitting blood.
The likes of Wushuang Wang stared at Qin Chen in astonishment, then immediately sneered in their hearts.
Letting this kid occupy a light sphere by himself? Ha! No matter how strong he is, he’s just half a step into Martial King. How could he possibly break the light sphere alone? He’s dreaming.
