One could only see the 10 or more boulders flying haphazardly throughout the second room, leaving behind very little breathing s.p.a.ce. If one wanted to remain in the room, not being able to dodge the boulders meant that one would be utterly crushed into a meat paste. Xiang Shaoyun was completely unprepared when he first walked in and was struck by numerous loose boulders, leaving him crying out in extreme pain.

”d.a.m.n it, was this boulder formation really prepared for Basic Realm cultivators? How many people can even withstand these things?” Xiang Shaoyun loudly cussed. He felt like he was simultaneously facing several, if not tens, of ninth-stage Basic Realm pract.i.tioners. He had no way of defending against this group attack.

”I must think of a way to hold on!” Xiang Shaoyun was not someone to easily give up. Adjusting his mentality, he began dodging to the left and the right. Luckily, he had already experienced the first room of the Hall of Limits. He was quick as a swallow, able to identify the empty spots he could dodge into.

However, just purely relying on dodging to stay within the room for a whole hour was not a viable solution. At this moment, Mo Buhui, Mei Lianhua, and Lu Xiaoqing entered the second room. The moment they entered, they immediately took out their weapons to defend themselves against the boulder formation.

Clink Clang Clink Clang!

Sparks flew as the boulders came into contact with their various weapons. Xiang Shaoyun was momentarily stunned before coming to a realization, exclaiming, ”So you can use weapons to defend yourself!”

Using a weapon to hold off the boulders would make it much easier to cope. However, after considering the situation for a while, he decided to temporarily abstain from using his weapon. He wanted to raise his own combat ability in order to prepare for the future. Hence, he decided to rely on his own two hands to destroy all the boulders inside the room.

Thinking about his home, Xiang Shaoyun's eyes began to dim, and he began to revolve the Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual. Astral energy began to ripple within his body. He concentrated his strength into his two fists and yelled, ”Break!”

His voice was like a sudden clap of thunder, his fists as hard as steel.

Peng!

Xiang Shaoyun's full-powered blow thoroughly decimated the oncoming boulder, but he had no time to rejoice. Another boulder was heading swiftly for his back. Startled, he twisted his body in an attempt to dodge, but he soon noticed yet another boulder speeding towards him. With no other choice, he forced out yet another punch.

This time, however, he was unable to gather his strength quickly enough, resulting in his fist bleeding after the impact. Not allowing him to rest for long, boulders from all around started rus.h.i.+ng towards him one after another.

”Come at me! I'll destroy each and every one of you!” Xiang Shaoyun yelled, his fighting spirit reignited as he more quickly sent out fist after fist.

Pow Pow!

With the revolution of the Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual, along with Xiang Shaoyun's remarkable physique, his fists broke the boulders one after another, giving him much more breathing room.

This did not mean that there were no more issues, however. Xiang Shaoyun's body was covered in several wounds, and he had been knocked to the ground twice by the boulders, making it very hard for him to remain standing.

His body had also been pounded to the point of almost being unrecognizable, his character itself turning into that of a wild beast. Even if he was to face off against three Wu Mingliangs, it would not be as strenuous as right now.

The Hall of Limits, a place to push one to the very limits of possibility. It remained to be seen if he would be able to accomplish it.

Meanwhile, Mo Buhui, Mei Lianhua, and Lu Xiaoqing were not doing too well either. Their physical bodies could not compare to Xiang Shaoyun's, which had been tempered since young with various medicines. After being hit several times, they were finding it very hard to keep persisting.

”I can't hold on any longer; I'm retreating!” Mei Lianhua was the first one to buckle under the pressure, swiftly heading for the exit. Lu Xiaoqing held on a few more moments, but she was also incapable of holding on and ended up leaving as well.
