The gate to the seventh floor was right before him, yet Shen Yi stopped there, utterly motionless.
It was not that he did not want to move. The pressure here was simply too severe, leaving him unable even to act.
"Looks like I'll need some time to adapt here."
Shen Yi pondered in secret. Then he closed his eyes, sensing the flow of spiritual power within his body and searching for the point where it aligned with the pressure outside. Golden light bloomed from his body, and an aura burst forth as well.
Since he could not resonate with the external pressure, he would rely on his own strength to carve a path straight through it!
Shen Yi could not help letting out a low roar. His expression grew somewhat savage as his entire aura erupted. A thunderous boom rang out, but that was all. Beneath pressure comparable to the peak of Spirit Transformation, Shen Yi was like a lone boat facing monstrous waves, utterly unable to resist.
"Dragon Elephant Fist Intent!"
At the stirring of his mind, enormous phantom images of dragons and elephants appeared at his side, releasing earth-shaking roars.
Boom!
The earth shook and the mountains trembled. Shen Yi brought down his raised right foot with crushing force, shattering the ground beneath him.

At this moment, the gate leading to the seventh floor was visibly only four or five steps
