Chapter 1391 1391: Backlash

When Su Chen heard this, he felt even more wronged. However, Zi Mei didn't continue to tease him and promptly said,

"Alright, let's quickly try it out first. If it doesn't work, don't force it!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen shifted his attention to the blue light orb, took a deep breath, and lifted one foot to walk in!

Strangely, when he stepped into the light orb, he felt almost nothing, as if he were in the air!

"Huh?!"

Su Chen uttered a small sound of surprise, finding it odd. He took another step in with his other foot, and again, there was no obstruction, not even a slight sense of stagnation!

After taking another couple of steps, he had completely crossed the light orb. He checked himself and found he was indeed unharmed, feeling relieved!

Just as he turned to signal Zhou Ying to enter as well, he saw that Zhou Ying seemed to be standing still in front of the light orb on the other side.

Su Chen called out twice, but there was no response from Zhou Ying!

Could it be that the light orb is soundproof?

Su Chen walked out of the light orb and asked,

"What's wrong, Zhou Ying?"

"I saw you go in just now, so I tried to follow you, but it's like a wall, I just can't get through!"

Zhou Ying replied somewhat helplessly.

"Try again."

Su Chen said curiously.

He thought to himself: if I can pass through, why can't Zhou Ying? That doesn't make sense!

"Okay."

Zhou Ying nodded upon hearing this and tried again, but still couldn't get through. So, she instinctually activated her Cultivation Technique, attempting to force her way in with her own Cultivation!

"Bang!"

Su Chen saw her using her Cultivation Technique and was just about to stop her when it was too late!

She immediately seemed to be blasted away by some unknown powerful force. Su Chen was shocked and quickly darted out, catching Zhou Ying who had been flung more than ten meters away!

"Pfft!"

Zhou Ying's organs churned, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staining Su Chen's clothes red!

Su Chen quickly retrieved a small pill bottle from the Cangyue Ring and dispensed a healing pill to Zhou Ying.

"How are you?"

A moment later, Su Chen asked.

"Much better, thank you."

Zhou Ying said gratefully, then looked at Su Chen:

"The effect of your healing pill is quite extraordinary. Even in the Ruin Realm, it's rare to see such a thing!"

"Really?"

Su Chen asked, intrigued.

"Of course it's true. I've seen a top-grade healing pill before, and it wasn't as effective as yours!"

Zhou Ying thought for a moment and said, then curiously looked at Su Chen:

"Where did you get this pill? How can there be such a grade of pill outside?"

"I made it myself."

Su Chen didn't hide anything and said with a smile.

"Ah?! You made it yourself?"

Zhou Ying asked incredulously.

Her reaction was similar to many others when they first learned Su Chen could perform Alchemy; they were all very shocked!

"Of course, I brought two or three with me this time. If we're fortunate to meet again, I'll bring more for you next time."

Su Chen casually smiled and said:

"I can also bring you some other pills as well."

"No, no, no, I didn't mean to ask for pills from you."

Zhou Ying quickly waved her hands and said:

"Besides, these pills are too precious, I... I can't take them!"

"It's alright. I can refine them, and the materials aren't that hard to obtain either."

Su Chen said with a smile:

"Besides, you told me a lot about the Ruin Realm, I still have to thank you. A few pills are nothing!"

Su Chen spoke sincerely. If he hadn't happened to meet Zhou Ying, how would he have known about the messages regarding the Ruin Realm?!

One could say that Zhou Ying's appearance helped him solve a big question that he's had for a long time!

"Are you really going to the Ruin Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying's attention shifted and she quickly asked.

"If there's a chance, I'd like to see it. What's wrong?"

Su Chen said casually.

"If you really plan to go, you must be careful. It's filled with strong practitioners, and I'm afraid your strength is not enough to measure up."

Zhou Ying said solemnly. She didn't stop Su Chen; he might have his reasons for going that he couldn't share!

Of course, she was worried because she believed Su Chen's real strength was around the Condensation Pill Realm Middle Stage!

"Yes, if I go, I'll be careful."

Su Chen smiled.

At this moment, Zhou Ying realized that she was still lying in Su Chen's arms, her face slightly reddened, and she said softly,

"I can get up now."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen quickly gave an awkward smile and said:

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot while we were talking!"

"It's okay."

Zhou Ying said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, yet her face grew redder, looking extraordinarily charming!

"Zi Mei, what happened just now?"

At this moment, Su Chen curiously asked in his mind.

"She might have triggered some kind of restriction, causing a backlash."

Zi Mei's voice sounded once again in Su Chen's mind:

"Fortunately, she didn't use much strength. She mustn't try again; otherwise, the consequences could be severe, even life-threatening!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately recalled Zi Mei's earlier warning.

In fact, when she activated her Cultivation Technique earlier, he had already thought of this. He just didn't expect the backlash to be so severe!

"Then why can I pass through without any issue?"

Su Chen asked, puzzled.

"It might be related to the Cultivation Technique you practice, or perhaps some other factor. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this!"

Zi Mei thought for a moment and said:

"I guess it might be related to the Stellar Power stored within you!"

Zi Mei didn't mention another possibility; if it truly relates to Stellar Power, it means what's inside is not ordinary either!

Of course, apart from Stellar Power, it might also be due to other factors, such as your bloodline, physique, and so on!

If that's the case, then it's even more extraordinary!

After listening to Zi Mei, Su Chen found it quite plausible, as to the best of his knowledge, no one else besides him seems to have Stellar Power!

Perhaps it's because he hasn't yet encountered another person with Stellar Power!

"Zhou Ying, there are restrictions inside that have a backlash effect. Forcibly breaking in could be life-threatening."

Su Chen said:

"Why don't you wait here for me?"

"Alright, but you must be extra careful!"

Zhou Ying said earnestly.

Although she was somewhat disappointed not being able to enter, there wasn't much she could do.

The moment she activated her Cultivation Technique, a powerful energy surged back at her, and just thinking about it now still made her feel apprehensive!

She also understood that with such a restriction, things inside were likely not simple, which is why she warned Su Chen to be extremely careful!
