Chapter 909 Mid-level Array Master
At the same time the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar hid within the Chaos Divine Palace.
Xu Nian himself experienced earth-shattering changes.
Initially, as Xu Nian and his team continued mining, they obtained a large amount of Rock Iron Energy Metal.
Xu Nian's physical strength also improved rapidly.
In the end, Xu Nian absorbed nearly six hundred thousand tons of energy metal to reach a state of bodily saturation.
As such, Xu Nian's physical strength directly reached a level comparable to the Peak of Heavenly Gang Realm.
It's worth noting that Xu Nian's cultivation was only at the Peak of Cave Void, and his Body Cultivation had only just reached the Wanxiang Realm, yet his physical strength was at the Heavenly Gang Realm level.
This was simply a defiance of the heavens.
With the addition of Divine Demon Energy, Xu Nian could completely crush late-stage Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts.
This crossed nearly two major realm levels.
Of course, Xu Nian had also reached the pinnacle of his strength.
To further increase his strength, he had to break through his current realm.
Thus, Xu Nian chose to break through.
And he crossed the Heavenly Tribulation.
This time the Heavenly Tribulation that descended was the seventh-level Heavenly Prohibition Tribulation.
On the day Xu Nian crossed the tribulation, the entire Silver Wolf Star seemed to be engulfed by a sea of lightning.
However, Xu Nian still managed to cross the tribulation, though he was severely injured as a result.
"Boss, are you okay? You scared us to death, you actually attracted such a terrifying heavenly tribulation," Tie Chui and others said excitedly upon seeing Xu Nian emerge from seclusion.
Apart from them, several others also looked at Xu Nian with nervous expressions.
Although three days had passed, their hearts still filled with lingering fear during those three days.
"I made you worry, I'm fine, and now I'm doing exceptionally well," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Indeed, he felt better than ever.
Now his Spirit Cultivation and Body Cultivation had both broken through.
His strength had increased significantly.
At this moment, he was at least ten times stronger than before.
"Boss, you really are the most amazing genius I've ever seen, having just broken through to the Unity Realm Stage, you possess such strength. I can't imagine how powerful you'll become once you reach the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm," Zhao An said excitedly.
The others didn't speak, but judging from their expressions, they were as surprised and excited as Zhao An.
Xu Nian smiled, and thought to himself that causing such a commotion during his tribulation crossing.
Now his subordinates revered him even more.
Currently, the influence of the Heavenly Court Gang was also gradually expanding.
From an initial one thousand members, they had grown to nearly two thousand.
Zhao An and Tie Chui had also both broken through to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.
Among the original three in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, one had broken through to the middle-stage of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.
With this, the Heavenly Court Gang, including Xu Nian, had seven experts in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.
As long as they didn't encounter tribulation crossing stage experts, the Heavenly Court Gang was invincible.
"By the way, have you got any news about the Xuan Gold Token I asked you to investigate?" Xu Nian asked.
"Boss, the matter of the Xuan Gold Token is somewhat difficult. There are only three thousand of these tokens in the entire Denor Star System, and they are basically all in the hands of tribulation crossing stage experts. Even if we knew where they were, we wouldn't be able to do anything," Tie Chui explained.
The others also nodded in agreement.
"You just need to investigate, as for seizing the tokens, leave that to us," Xu Nian said casually.
Currently, their strength was still too weak. If any tribulation crossing stage expert appeared, even the Heavenly Court Ranking might not withstand them.
"Also, Wu Gang, how is the progress on the two other Rock Iron Metal Veins you mentioned earlier?" Xu Nian asked again.
Rock Iron Metal Veins are resources of the Denor Star System, which are, to some extent, more precious than Spirit Stones.
The more resources available, the more plunderers they could attract to join their Heavenly Court Gang.
Because without the Rock Iron Order, those plunderers could only obtain energy metals by killing and plundering.
And those lacking in strength could only join a gang to get these resources.
Moreover, they also got the gang's protection to keep their lives safe.
Thus, gangs like the Heavenly Court Gang were numerous in the Denor Star System.
"We've already sent people to one of them, and we've stationed Lan Qi as a protector, so it should be alright," Wu Gang replied.
Xu Nian nodded.
Lan Qi was the person who'd broken through to the middle-stage of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.
Also one of the people Xu Nian had taken a liking to.
"What about the other place, did you encounter any difficulties?" Xu Nian asked.
"Yes, we encountered the Red Blood Gang. On our way to that vein, they spotted our movements and reported it to their leader, the Red Blood Gang Leader, who then came and took over our vein, also killing many of our brothers. Even Tie Chui was severely injured," Wu Gang said.
"Yes, Boss, the Red Blood Gang Leader is simply too arrogant. It's one thing to seize our vein, but to attack our brothers so ruthlessly as well. It's as if the Heavenly Court Gang is nothing to them, even saying you're just some small-time thug, it infuriates me," Tie Chui said, face full of anger.
Xu Nian furrowed his brows.
In the Denor Star System, such gang conflicts were common.
Even if a gang was slaughtered entirely, the Denor Empire wouldn't interfere.
But generally, gangs knew to leave some leeway.
Without certainty of annihilating the opponent completely, they would not rashly massacre each other's members.
"What is the strength of the Red Blood Gang Leader?" Xu Nian asked.
"The Red Blood Gang Leader is at the Peak of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, with eight experts under him at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, including two in the late-stage, three in the middle-stage, and three in the early-stage," Wu Gang replied.
"So, the Red Blood Gang isn't anything special then," Xu Nian said with a cold smile.
Now that he'd broken through, facing an opponent at the Peak of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm was no longer an issue.
"Boss, you might be able to handle the Red Blood Gang Leader, but there's a much more troublesome figure in their gang—Zhao Feng. His cultivation is only at the middle-stage of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, but he's a Mid-level Array Master. Even the Peak of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts wouldn't dare to underestimate his Killing Array!" Wu Gang reported.
Upon hearing the term Mid-level Array Master, the faces of the others fell into sighs of dismay.
Cultivators can be dealt with, but Array Masters are the real headache.
Once trapped in an array, there's simply no calling for rescue!
"A Mid-level Array Master?" Xu Nian smirked at the corner of his mouth.
Although he hadn't spent much time on array studies, he had the array legacy from the Dark God Island Master in his mind.
His current array skills were not far off from a Mid-level Array Master.
He just rarely used them.
So a Mid-level Array Master, he naturally didn't take seriously.
"Don't worry, we in the Heavenly Court Gang also have a Mid-level Array Master," Xu Nian said with a smile.
"Who?" Wu Gang and others were stunned and looked around.
However, all of them seemed confused, not knowing who Xu Nian was referring to as the Array Master.
"It's me!"
While Wu Gang and others seemed to have no answer, Xu Nian's voice rang out once more.
Everyone turned to look at Xu Nian, their faces filled with astonishment.
