Chapter 629 - 729: Breaking Through Restrictions Consecutively
If the barrier isn't attacked for a period, it will start to restore by itself, and the speed is quite fast.
Previously, Tian Chu Zhenren thought Ye Tianfan would use spiritual power to wear down the barrier because while Ye Tianfan slowly wore it down, he was already recovering his spiritual power. And once he was about to run out, he would use just a bit of spiritual power to wear it down further. This method would prevent the barrier from recovering and allow himself to quickly recover.
However, if a magical treasure is used for breaking, once you run out of spiritual power, the barrier will also start restoring quickly, even faster than Ye Tianfan could recover his spiritual power.
Of course, there's another method, which is for Ye Tianfan to break through to the fifth level of Qian Yuan. This way, he could directly break through the barrier using all his spiritual power.
When Tian Chu Zhenren set the barrier, it was already calculated that this barrier only used the total spiritual power amount of a fifth-level Qian Yuan cultivator. Considering Ye Tianfan's spiritual power capacity, which is inherently more than a typical cultivator, he was set with the spiritual power level of a sixth-level Qian Yuan cultivator. Tian Chu Zhenren roughly calculated that for Ye Tianfan, he would need a little more spiritual power after advancing to the fifth level of Qian Yuan.
Of course, this method would probably take Ye Tianfan half a year to a year to achieve, perhaps two to three years, so Ye Tianfan decided to discard this option and chose to directly break the barrier.
As the Demonic Qi on Ye Tianfan's Xuanlong Seal decreased, the proportion that could break the barrier in one go increased, making Ye Tianfan happier, and the energy ripples outside his body became more aggressive.
However, when Ye Tianfan used up the last bit of his spiritual power to activate the Xuanlong Seal to break the barrier, he failed. He sensed that around 20% of the barrier was left, and his spiritual power was depleted. So, Ye Tianfan decided to restore his spiritual power quickly and then immediately start attacking the barrier again, hoping to break it as soon as possible.
Ye Tianfan then began to restore his spiritual power, fully absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
But what Ye Tianfan never expected was that as he restored his spiritual power, the barrier also recovered, at a speed about twice his own recovery rate.
This left Ye Tianfan dumbfounded. What... this barrier can restore?
But then again, it makes sense. If the Array can restore, the barrier, which isn't much different from the Array, should too. So Ye Tianfan calmed down. Initially being shocked by the barrier's ability to restore made him dumbfounded.
Then Ye Tianfan realized, when he first used the Xuanlong Seal, because it had Demonic Qi, the extent of barrier breakage wasn't much, yet the spiritual power consumption was the same as later. And now, with the Xuanlong Seal free of Demonic Qi, each attempt maximizes the proportion of the barrier broken.
So even if the barrier restores, using the Xuanlong Seal again is estimated to leave him with much spiritual power when the barrier is already broken. A magical treasure capable of breaking barriers is indeed this formidable.
On Tian Chu Zhenren's side, he just smiled. It seems Ye Tianfan has stumbled a bit; using a magical treasure consumes too much spiritual power and hasn't realized the actual trick of breaking it by intervening during the barrier's recovery. But since Ye Tianfan can start breaking the barrier already, it won't take long. A few more tries, and he'll find the knack for it. It seems Ye Tianfan's choice is to enter the battlefield.
Well, if a man doesn't go to the battlefield, how can he call himself a man?
Back to Ye Tianfan, after restoring his spiritual power, he began his second attempt at breaking the barrier.
Ye Tianfan slightly furrowed his brow, then a fierce energy ripple emanated from his body.
This time, the energy ripple was fiercer than all previous ones because Ye Tianfan was now in full power. The Xuanlong Seal, now free from the Demonic Qi entwined upon it, revealed its true ability and felt elated. So, this time alone, he directly broke a tenth of the Dantian barrier.
This sudden break startled Ye Tianfan since this time he didn't use much spiritual power, perhaps just one or two percent.
Yet unexpectedly, the barrier was directly broken by one-tenth.
This tenfold disparity genuinely startled Ye Tianfan.
What... just a few more tries and the barrier could potentially be completely broken, is the Xuanlong Seal that powerful?
Ye Tianfan didn't anticipate this result. Actually, breaking one twentieth or thirtieth of the barrier would have satisfied him, but to break a tenth outright was beyond expectation.
But shortly, Ye Tianfan smiled happily and pressed on.
Wave after wave of energy ripples surged from Ye Tianfan's body, tilling the surroundings repeatedly until, with one vigorous quake, energy ripples ceased to emanate from his body.
Ye Tianfan had broken the barrier. At the very instant Ye Tianfan completely dissolved the barrier, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. A tangible beam of light shot out from his eyes, and an imposing aura, like a child finally gaining freedom, surged from Ye Tianfan's modestly built body.
"Hahaha, finally broken! Now, what next... huh? Where is this place?"
Ye Tianfan had just excitedly let out two roars and was about to find the surviving people when he suddenly observed the surroundings, becoming a bit astonished.
Where exactly was this place? Wasn't he just breaking the barrier in his room? How did he end up in this desolate area?
But Ye Tianfan quickly recognized a familiar scene, which was a corner he saw when he initially came in, leading towards the direction of the Taihuo Hall, which Ye Tianfan clearly remembered.
Ye Tianfan stood up somewhat surprisingly, preparing to check what the situation was around him.
But as Ye Tianfan moved, the poor bed supporting him simply couldn't hold any longer and shattered.
And Ye Tianfan, unable to stand steadily, sat right on the ground.
Ye Tianfan scratched his head, cluelessly standing up and looking around in confusion. If that corner was really the one he thought it was, then this should be his room, so why does it look like this?
Ye Tianfan scratched his head in confusion again.
Then Ye Tianfan started walking towards that corner, wanting to see if it was the one he thought it was.
