Chapter 235 - 235 Terrifying pressure (1/2)
Shun Long tried to raise his head, but that was the only movement that he could do.
A few hundred meters ahead of him, he could see a jade-white palace, with dark gold runes covering its walls, while its gigantic palace gates were thousands of meters tall.
In front of the palace gates there were 2 enormous statues, that were almost as tall as the palace gates themselves.
The statues looked like 2 strong warriors, covered in armor that seemed to have been made from some kind of silver.
The statues' facial features were similar to humans', however, the difference was, that each statue also had a pair of gigantic silver wings on their backs.
Each of them was also holding a spear, and although they were just statues, Shun Long had a feeling that he was staring at 2 enormous monsters.
Crack
Crackk
Crackk!
Cracking sounds were heard from Shun Long's body in rapid succession.
The pain of his bones being crushed under the terrifying pressure around him, had left him in a miserable position.
Even though his body had already reached the middle of rank 3 in body refinement, it still couldn't endure the enormous pressure that was grinding his bones to dust.
The 'Monarch's Eternal body' then started to circulate by itself, as a gentle power had started to quickly heal Shun Long's fractured bones.
And yet, the all-encompassing pressure around him continued to destroy his bones at an even faster rate than before.
Even the healing from the 'Monarch's Eternal body' that had reached the middle of the third stage, couldn't keep up with the speed that Shun Long's bones were being destroyed.
Gritting his teeth, Shun Long activated the 'Monarch's Hourglass', as 81 bright balls of qi appeared above his head.
Circulating the qi inside his qi balls, he then covered his body from head to toe, as he tried to reduce the horrifying pressure around him.
As soon as he covered himself with his qi, Shun Long could feel the surrounding pressure drastically reducing in intensity.
The healing of the 'Monarch's Eternal body' now far outstripped the destructive power of the pressure around him.
And yet, the qi inside the 81 balls of qi in the 'Monarch's Hourglass', was being drained at an alarming rate.
The 'Monarch's Eternal body' however, was automatically circulating by itself, using the pressure around Shun Long to temper his body even further.
Although Shun Long felt immense pain as his bones were being broken over and over again, he still gritted his teeth as he endured the process.
He knew that his body was automatically circulating, in order to temper his strength and adapt to the environment around him.
Without any hesitation, Shun Long took out some middle rank 5 'Qi replenishing pills' that he had gotten from Xue Zhilan's spatial ring, and consumed them one by one.
This was the only way that he could keep replenishing the qi inside his qi balls.
