Chapter 457: Breaking Through the Barrier!
When the water inside the cage flooded up to his neck, Zhang Mu almost lost consciousness.
Just a moment ago, when the water level was low, there were no abnormalities. But now, Zhang Mu feels like he is being squeezed by several mountains at the same time, a force he has never encountered before.
Sometimes from the outside in, and sometimes from the inside out, extremely painful!
The water level inside the cage didn’t give Zhang Mu any chance to relax, it kept rising steadily. Zhang Mu tried various methods but failed, unable to escape, feeling like he was in a prepared grave.
When his head was completely submerged by water, the rising water level stopped, and Zhang Mu, bearing immense pressure, showed an extremely painful expression on his face.
Like a drowning person in deep sea water, unable to breathe while also enduring pressure from all directions.
I’d rather be dead.
Zhang Mu started to lose his strength to struggle, just as he had felt earlier, he was on the brink of death.
What should I do?
I don’t want to die, Yuan Rui is waiting for me outside, and so is Ginseng King, Grave Blood!
I can’t die!
The scattering of consciousness is a sign of the soul collapsing. Zhang Mu was completely confused and trapped in a frenzy, watching as he was about to sink into chaos.
But at that moment, Zhang Mu felt a bright light flashing in the endless darkness in front of him.
It was this sudden appearing light that saved Zhang Mu’s life. His clouded consciousness suddenly cleared, and he remembered where he was and what was holding him back.
This was in his own mind!
The water around here is all made of powerful energy, compressed to its limit!
Understanding this, Zhang Mu instantly thought of a way to break through this barrier!
If he couldn’t break through, then he would let the energy itself break the barrier!
But the water level had stopped rising, so where could he get more water to break this small barrier?
The ultimate answer was within his own body!
Zhang Mu realized this, relaxed his mind completely, and merged his body into the liquid formed by the energy, forgetting entirely that he was still struggling against suffocation and pressure.
Sure enough, as he let go of everything, the body constructed by Zhang Mu’s soul began to assimilate with the surrounding liquid.
Slowly releasing the same liquid as on the outside from his body, it was the energy squeezed out bit by bit from the deepest part of his body.
He had already reached his limit, the external energy was all the energy he had in his mind, but in this highly dense liquid of energy, his potential was completely squeezed out.
One drop, two drops, and more… The water level inside the cage rose rapidly as Zhang Mu fully awakened, finally reaching the top of the cage.
However, Zhang Mu’s release continued as the mental liquid inside the cage compressed more and more.
Finally, it reached a critical point.
At that moment, Zhang Mu opened his eyes in the darkness and released the last drop of mental power.
Boom!
Zhang Mu, surpassing his own limits, finally broke through the cage, which represented the limits that had previously confined his mind.
The cage shattered, and the compressed mental power instantly transformed, filling his expanded mind, but the quality of this mental power was completely different from before.
“Did it work?”
Zhang Mu looked at the Sharira lying quietly in the center of his mind, as if from another world.
The bright lamp just now is this magical object, Sharira.
The feeling of nearing death just now was extremely real, making him unable to forget it even now.
The process of ascending to the third rank is extremely dangerous. If he didn’t have the help of Sharira at the most critical moment, he would have failed on the path to the third rank long ago, becoming an empty shell.
At this moment, the Grey-eyed Ginseng King in the outside world suddenly opened its eyes, at the same time releasing Yuan Rui from her restraints.
Yuan Rui, suffering from a backlash of spiritual power, immediately spat out blood, staining her pale cheek red.
That weak expression was like a bleeding cuckoo.
Uncle, please wake up quickly!
However, at this moment, Zhang Mu is still unconscious. The Sharira on top of his head has completely merged into Zhang Mu’s head, leaving the Ginseng King unsure whether Zhang Mu has successfully advanced.
Glancing at Yuan Rui lying limp on the ground, he coldly said, “He will never wake up again.”
“How is that possible?”
Yuan Rui’s eyes suddenly lost their sparkle, her biggest support was still asleep.
Although Ginseng King couldn’t figure out what was going on with Zhang Mu, he decided to eliminate him to prevent any future troubles, as he saw Sharira completely merging with him.
Just as Ginseng King reached out to snap Zhang Mu’s neck lying on the ground, a sudden change occurred!
The unconscious Zhang Mu felt the danger at this moment, he abruptly opened his eyes, staring intensely at Ginseng King in front of him. The transformation happening to Zhang Mu shocked him, making him stop his hand just before touching Zhang Mu’s neck.
Because, at this moment, Zhang Mu’s eyes were golden!
