Everyone... Give It a Try Too

With each step back, the terrifying pressure that was squeezing from all sides, as if trying to crush every inch of flesh and bone into dust, lessened a little.

As he stepped back, the immense weight pressing on his chest seemed to shift slightly, allowing him to inhale a breath of air thick with the pungent smell of the sea and blood.

The second step, the third step... the invisible chains Wrap my limbs and bones seemed to loosen a little, and the muscle spasms were somewhat relieved.

When Lin Xia took more than ten steps back and reached the forty-odd steps, he felt the heaviness in his body suddenly dissipate by more than half.

It's the feeling of struggling to Abyss from the depths of the ocean, thousands of meters below the surface, and finally getting close to the water's edge.

The constraints on the body are lessening, and a long-lost sense of lightness is gradually returning, like a beach exposed after the tide has receded.

However, this lightness was not true ease, but rather a relative relief compared to the extreme pressure before. The weakness caused by the depletion of Soul Power in the body was like a maggot clinging to the bone, spreading rapidly.

He dared not stop his retreating steps.

The Soul Power within his body was like a spring about to dry up, barely a drop could flow, and a burning emptiness came from his meridians, which was the backlash from over-exploitation.

Venusaur the platform below, but it was also greatly exhausted from its previous all-out burst of power and could no longer provide effective support.

Lin Xia knew that any pause at this moment could cause her body, which was already on the verge of collapse, to completely break down.

As he retreated for the last ten steps, his speed noticeably increased.

The pressure receded quickly like a tide, and my body felt lighter and lighter.

When Lin Xia finally stepped off the last step and his feet touched the solid ground of the Ring Sea again, the thick, impenetrable golden-blue mist surrounding him...

A unique force field formed by double the Sea God's Light --

It suddenly dispersed, like a veil blown away by the wind.

The moment the force field dissipated!

"Call--!"

Lin Xia felt as if every pore on her body had been completely opened in an instant!

Every cell, as if suffocating for a long time, greedily breathes in fresh air, stretching and leaping wildly!

It was an indescribable feeling of ultimate comfort, as if the burden of carrying the entire mountain had been lifted, and the body was completely freed from the deepest constraints.

However, this ultimate feeling of comfort lasted only a moment!

The next moment, a wave of weakness, like a tsunami, surged in without warning and overwhelmingly!

That is the inevitable backlash after Soul Power is completely exhausted and one's physical potential is squeezed to the limit.

The strength that had been supporting him to stand was instantly drained away, and his legs lost all power, like cooked noodles.

"Thump!"

Lin Xia could no longer maintain her standing posture; her body went limp, and she collapsed heavily to the ground.

His violent breathing was like a broken bellows; each inhale was accompanied by a tearing pain in his chest, and each exhale spewed out hot, bloody Mist.

He was covered in blood, his skin congealed with a mixture of dark red blood and sweat, his exposed muscles trembling slightly, his bony wings drooping limply at his sides, and the cracks on his purplish-black bone spurs were particularly glaring.

Those once fiery purple eyes were now veiled with deep weariness, yet the light of their inner will still shone brightly.

He struggled to lift his head, his gaze sweeping over his companions who had gathered around him, their faces filled with worry and shock— Hu Liena's eyes were brimming with tears of heartache, Xie Yue's lips were tightly pursed, Yan looked terrified, and Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were full of concern.

Lin Xia twitched the corners of her mouth, seemingly trying to give everyone a reassuring smile, but only managed to move her dry, bleeding lips, her voice hoarse as if sandpaper were being rubbed together.

"Everyone... should give it a try too."

After uttering that brief, breathless sentence, Lin Xia no longer cared about anything else.

He knew that his body was in an extremely delicate and critical state at this moment—it had just undergone the brutal tempering of the extreme pressure of double the Sea God's Light, and then suddenly shed all its burdens.

Although the Soul Power in the body is exhausted, the meridians, bones, muscles and even every cell are like refined iron that has been forged, and are at their most "active" and most "thirsty" moment.

This is the golden opportunity for cultivation!

He immediately focused all his attention, ignoring the excruciating pain and weakness in his body, and the discomfort caused by the sticky blood-stained clothes. He struggled to sit cross-legged, placing his hands in a mudra on his knees.

The next moment, his consciousness sank into a deep pool, directly entering the deepest level of meditation.

His breathing gradually became long and weak, and the rise and fall of his chest was almost Frisk. Only the faint fluctuations of Soul Power emanating from his body proved that he was fully circulating his cultivation technique.

As Lin Xia climbed the stairs under the immense pressure of the Sea God's Light, a realization dawned on her.

Faced with immense pressure that could crush an ordinary Soul Master into dust, he felt no fear or panic, but rather an uncontrollable surge of ecstasy!

They endured countless hardships, traversing the Demonic Whale Sea Area, breaking through the blockade of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, and overcoming numerous dangers to reach this Sea God Island. Wasn't this the kind of extreme pressure they sought that could squeeze out every bit of their body's potential and forge their will and Soul Power?

At this moment, the extreme emptiness of his Soul Power did not discourage him; instead, it filled him with indescribable excitement and anticipation.

He clearly felt that cultivating in this state of complete physical exhaustion and extreme pressure would bring immeasurable benefits to himself!

This is ten times, even a hundred times, more effective than regular, methodical Calm Mind!

The speed of Soul Power recovery, the widening and strengthening of meridians, and the tempering and sublimation of the physical body will all reach an unprecedented level.

Therefore, he immediately entered a meditative state without hesitation, seizing this fleeting and precious opportunity.

Having escaped that immense, suffocating pressure, Lin Xia felt as if she were floating on air.

Without the all-pervasive pressure of the Sea God's Light, his body felt like a bird breaking free from all constraints, or like a spring that had been compressed to its limit suddenly released. Every cell was stretching, cheering, and leaping with joy!

This is a release stemming from the instinct of life, the ultimate ease of surviving a catastrophe.

During her meditative introspection, Lin Xia clearly saw the scene inside her body.

The meridians, which had been stretched to the point of tearing by the violent pressure, now appeared spacious, though covered with tiny cracks, as if they had been Sheer Force widened.

The inner walls of the meridians seemed to be forged into greater resilience under extreme pressure; though scarred, they exuded a tenacious spirit of rebirth from the ashes.

Lin Xia circulated her Soul Power, carefully guiding the dense, almost liquefied spiritual energy from the outside world, like the gentlest stream, slowly flowing into her depleted meridians.

As soon as this pure energy entered the body, it was immediately greedily absorbed and refined by the thirsty meridians.

There was no violent collision, no sluggish obstruction; the energy flowed exceptionally smoothly, like a long-parched riverbed receiving sweet rain, quickly permeating every corner of the body.
