Free Web NovelChapter 312: Chapter 43: A Sigh
The pale young man hesitated at first, seemingly afraid of the danger. But a moment later, he looked toward the Sealing Hall, from which Evil Beasts continuously poured, and after seeming to recall something, he nodded with determination.
The two of them then began to approach the barrier.
’What are they trying to do?’ Standing amidst the beast herd, the Peacock couldn’t understand human language. It could only wonder in confusion, ’Didn’t we test this before? Even that member of the Dragon Race at full power couldn’t break through the Protective Array... Could it be they have a Combined Formation?’
’But this pale human is only as strong as a Low-level Beast Soldier.’
Although it didn’t understand what they were trying to do, the barrier generated by the Breaking Realm Array was invincible to those of the Extraordinary Tier, so the Peacock wasn’t worried about whether they could destroy it.
Compared to that, its attention was more focused on the Space-Time Passage behind it. ’This time, my Feathered Race has seized the initiative, the first to find the entrance to the Ancient Immortal Realm. With the Immortal Gods all gone, today’s Immortal Realm is nothing but a juicy prize for the taking!’
’Perhaps we Beast Gods will have a turn as Lord of the Immortal Realm, and I, by virtue of this battle, may ascend beyond Great Saint to the supreme position of Life Lord!’
But just as the Peacock Divine Bird was dreaming of its future, Su Zhou and Tang Yuan had already reached the edge of the barrier. With a serious expression, Tang Yuan gripped Su Zhou’s hand and activated his ability: Spiritualization.
Unlike a typical Divine Technique that could only spiritualize oneself, Tang Yuan’s Spiritualization Divine Technique was more High Tier. It could spiritualize people and objects he touched, enabling all sorts of Superpowers like passing through walls and flying. Its limit was one cubic meter.
Even with his body’s Transcendent Transformation, Su Zhou hadn’t bulked up to the point where his volume exceeded one cubic meter, so he was naturally within the range of what could be spiritualized.
Now, as Tang Yuan unleashed his Divine Technique, both of them entered a state of Spiritualization at the same time!
"Hmm, this feeling is a little strange."
As he felt the peculiar Spiritual Power fluctuation surge from Tang Yuan’s hand, Su Zhou’s entire body instantly became a translucent Spirit Body. He couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, seriously analyzing the sensation. ’It’s not a complete loss of mass. Rather, everything I touch just so happens to pass right through me... Every part that makes up my body has become ethereal, its very existence uncertain, a dual state superimposed between the Spirit Realm and the physical world.’ frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
’Tang Yuan’s Divine Technique really is much more High Tier than ordinary Spiritualization.’
He could study it later; there would be plenty of time. The most important thing now was to see if this state could pass through the barrier.
Su Zhou nodded to Tang Yuan, then reached out and was the first to push his hand through the blackish-red Life Spiritual Barrier.
It was painful.
That was the only sensation.
The blackish-red Life Barrier repelled most Spiritual Power and was extremely inert and stable, like a solid sheet of Spirit Iron. Though it had no physical form, it stubbornly blocked anything from entering.
Even after Spiritualization, though the feeling of resistance was greatly reduced, trying to pass through it felt as if every inch of his flesh, inside and out, was being scoured by sandpaper. The pain was excruciating. An ordinary person would be completely unable to bear it; mere contact would probably make them instinctively pull their hand back as if from an electric shock.
Fortunately, Su Zhou was no ordinary person. This pain was on par with the time the National Preceptor had shattered his eyes with a blast of Thunder Technique and crushed his spine, or when the Demon Emperor had scraped the flesh from his arm, bit by bit. Of course, he had returned the favor in kind back then, so recalling the agony didn’t feel frustrating. Instead, it made him a little sentimental.
Soon, Su Zhou passed through the barrier with ease, merely clicking his tongue. "Ah," he said, "this is starting to remind me of the old fighting days."
As he spoke, his aura didn’t diminish in the slightest. On the contrary, it grew even more vibrant, as if he were truly getting into the zone.
For Tang Yuan, however, things were more difficult.
His Spiritualization only worked through physical contact. With Su Zhou passing through, he had to go through as well. If he let go in the middle, the Spiritualization would be broken, and the barrier would swallow his arm whole—or, at the very least, sever it.
Therefore, he had no choice but to cross over—and such intense pain was nearly impossible for an ordinary person to endure. fгeewebnovёl.com
Having crossed over with Su Zhou, Tang Yuan was now close to collapsing. He lay on the ground, drenched in a cold sweat that soaked his clothes, looking as if he were completely dehydrated.
Su Zhou had already made the dangers clear, but Tang Yuan—perhaps thinking of the immense threat the beast tide posed and his own reasons for agreeing to become a Security Bureau agent—had still consented to this extremely risky mission. He might look like an ordinary Ability User, but in reality, his courage was exceptionally rare and precious, something even Su Zhou had to commend.
"You’ve done well, Tang Yuan."
Having passed through the blackish-red barrier, Su Zhou ignored the beast tide that was now clearly visible and roaring just ahead. He paid no mind to the sharp, shocked cry from the Peacock Divine Bird, but simply smiled as he pulled a flask of Holy Water (Cumin-Blessed Version) from his robes. Biting his own finger open, he let a few drops of blood fall into the flask. "You just stay here by the barrier," he said. "Keep yourself spiritualized and stay safe."
With that, he forced open the semi-conscious Tang Yuan’s mouth and poured the flask of Holy Water down his throat, causing him to choke and splutter back to awareness.
