Chapter 20: The Indomitable Will

Before you know it, the pirate ship continued to sail south for half a month. Ten days ago, all the people on the ship had already felt the disappearance of the spiritual energy, and there was only endless depression in the air.

The whole sea is no longer blue, but more black. There is no life, no other breath is felt. It was as if there was only one ship in the whole world moving alone.

Shi Lei also gave up cultivation after not feeling any spiritual vitality, more of Hexing, Yutong and the old turtle, and occasionally Wang Ping, monkeys, and madmen, playing all kinds of games that made them novel, and passed the boring days.

It was noon, but not much sunlight was shining. The dark clouds in the sky did not disperse for a long time.

Shi Lei, Xing, and the old turtle all stood at the bow of the boat, frowning and looking ahead, their expressions full of worry.

"Old man, something is wrong, are you taking the wrong path?" Xing looked at the old turtle suspiciously, and his tone was full of unkindness.

Shi Lei also looked at it, and now he feels that he is going to find some god-killing realm, and he directly has the feeling of going to another world to hell. The oppressive atmosphere of the whole world is getting worse and worse. If an ordinary person arrives here, it is estimated that he will not be able to last long.

At this moment, the monkey suddenly ran over from not far away, and said breathlessly, "Lord One Piece, two more crew members have passed out, and so far, except for the people in the physical realm, there is no big problem, and more than half of the others can't get up, so they can't move forward." “

Star didn't answer, just looked at the head on the turtle shell, waiting for him to speak.

The old turtle stared intently ahead, then looked around again, and was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just when Shi Lei couldn't help it, he finally spoke, "It shouldn't be wrong, it's almost here." It's just that the South China Sea here is a little different from when I used to come here?"

"What's the difference?" Shi Lei asked curiously.

The old turtle shook his head a little confused, "I don't know, it just feels different, it won't feel wrong." “

"The breath of death, you can't feel it" Xing said lightly at this time, and after speaking, he turned around and saw Wang Ping also coming over, and continued to speak, "You go and stop the boat, don't go south." Stand by and wait for us to get back. Let's go with the three of us. “

After giving the order, the old turtle jumped down first, and then Shi Lei and Xing jumped on the turtle shell one after another, and continued to go south.

Although Shi Lei was almost at the seventh level of the Xuan Realm, he didn't feel any discomfort on his body, but the surrounding environment became more and more irritating.

"Senior Xing, I don't feel anything, does it have something to do with the Spirit of All Things?" Shi Lei asked, moving his slightly sore neck.

"Not bad" Xing nodded, "Although your strength is very low now, the level of the Spirit Technique of All Things is very high, and the breath here will not have any effect on you, as long as you pay attention not to consume your spiritual power, it will be fine." “

Although he had not yet been exposed to other exercises, he had already felt the increasing horror of the Ten Thousand Spirits.

In this way, the two of them and the turtle continued to move forward, and the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, as if there was something hidden.

"Old man, have you felt anything when you have been in the sea all year round?" Xing looked down at the turtle shell at his feet.

The old turtle looked up at the sky and slowly said what he had been worried about a long time ago, "Storm. “

"Storm?" Shi Lei asked.

"Yes, Storm. Everyone knows that there are often winds in the South China Sea, and many people have experienced storms in the South China Seas, but they have little impact on the monks. And the south of the South China Sea, that is, the further south you go after the horizon of the southernmost island, Star Demon Island, the more and more storms will become, and the more terrifying they will be. Therefore, once the storm is encountered, the spiritual power is exhausted, and the monk dies for life. But have you noticed that since we haven't felt the spirit energy at all, we haven't encountered a storm until now, not even a strong wind? The old turtle's tone was even heavier.

Shi Lei and Xing looked around, it was always calm, and the silence was terrifying. After listening to the old turtle's words again, now the fool knows that something is wrong.

Xing Kai then asked, "When will this big storm come?" “

The old turtle shook his head, "I don't know, I hope to come back when we get back to the ship, but the longer this storm brews, the more terrifying it will become, and when the time comes, all the people on the ship will probably be more than lucky." “

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Xing was a little anxious

The old turtle said helplessly, "I said earlier, what's the use, you will still come, and besides, after so many days, you have come so far."

And so everyone went on with a heavy heart, and the day passed, and no one spoke.

At this moment, the old turtle slowly stopped, and looked a little tired and turned around, "It should be around here, you are ready to go into the water, and the spirit yuan power only guarantees breathing, don't waste anything else." “

After speaking, Shi Lei used his spiritual power, and his whole body fluctuated slightly, but Xing didn't make any moves, and the two of them slowly sank.

The sea water was even darker and more oppressive, and with the rapid sinking, Shi Lei could barely see the others beside him with the naked eye. And with the rapid increase in water pressure, the consumption of spiritual power is increasing, and breathing in the water has become more difficult.

There isn't much change in the old turtles and on the water, it's just a lot slower. And the star was as relaxed as ever, constantly turning his head to look around, as if the darkness had no effect on him.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a sudden impact under my feet. The unprepared Shi Lei sat down at the bottom of the sea.

Shi Lei stood up with difficulty, and said with a hideous face, "Senior Xing, I can't hold on anymore, the pressure here is too terrible." If he was naked at the moment, he could see the muscles of his whole body crisscrossing and puffing and twitching.

Xing seemed to have been prepared, opened his little hand, and a small ball of light appeared in his hand. Thrown at Shi Lei, it slowly grew larger in the water and covered him instantly. Then he spoke,

"It's not bad, you can hold on until now, and being in it allows you to resist the pressure without consuming spiritual power, just with your physical body, but to what extent you resist depends on yourself. “

Shi Lei hurriedly withdrew the little spiritual power, it was not easy to absorb spiritual energy in the South China Sea, he didn't want to waste the slightest. As a result, the moment he retracted it, the whole person immediately lay on the seabed as if he had been hit by a train.

He didn't expect that it would hurt so much without using aura, just using his body to resist pressure, and his whole body was like countless hammers constantly smashing you, trying to smash you flattened alive. I don't know how much this is still weakened, Shi Lei has no doubt that if there is no light film around him, he may turn into a piece of paper in an instant.

With a "poof", Xing couldn't help laughing, and his mood, which had not been happy, instantly improved a lot, and at the same time took out a glowing ball out of thin air, illuminating the surrounding world.

The old turtle looked at the scene in front of him pitifully, and sighed in his heart, young man, you are unlucky to have such a master who is not a master.

Shi Lei gritted his teeth, I don't know how much perseverance and courage he used, slowly moving from one finger, then his arms, shoulders, body, head, thighs, calves, and finally to his feet and standing up again little by little. Then his face was full of hideousness, and at the same time, his eyes were full of disbelief and star.

"Yo, it's tough" Xing raised his eyebrows defiantly, turned around and walked forward, not in a hurry or slow.

Shi Lei hurriedly stepped forward, raised his legs and didn't support them for an instant, and fell to his knees. Then he roared, stood up suddenly, and finally walked forward slowly.

Xing walked for a while and stopped, waiting for Shi Lei, who was far behind him.

The old turtle also turned around and looked behind him, without saying a word, shaking his whole body with every step, and the unyielding young man's eyes were full of appreciation.

Finally, Shi Lei stood in front of them, bent over and crossed his thighs, his chest undulating like a bellows.

This small stretch of the road feels like going to hell, full of life is worse than death. Shi Lei had never experienced such pain. He couldn't persevere before, but after going through so much and losing so much, he didn't know how to persevere.

"Your body is consuming too much energy, let's take a break first," he said, and Xing handed over a special bottle.

Shi Lei picked it up and brought it to his mouth, and he didn't know what liquid slowly flowed out and flowed into his body. I drank it for a while, but I couldn't see the bottom of the bottle.

The flesh greedily absorbed this energy, and after a while it regained its vitality and spit out a large mouthful of bubbles in comfort.

At this time, Xing stood up again, "There are still a lot of them in the bottle, enough for you to use for a long time, hurry up this time, we don't have much time." And follow me next, I've already felt it in the God Killing Realm."

After saying that, he turned and walked due west.

The old turtle did not speak or ask much, but followed closely behind.

Shi Lei put away the bottle like a baby, although he didn't know what was inside, but according to the body's reaction, it was extremely ungodly.

Hurriedly stood up and followed behind with his best efforts. At this time, his body's reaction was much better than just now, and it also made him much faster.

In this way, Xing and the old turtle walked in front at an accelerated speed, and Shi Lei followed faster and faster behind, taking out a bottle and taking two sips from time to time.

In this way, a week passed, and by the time the three of them had gone completely side by side, moving forward at a rapid pace.

At this time, Shi Lei's whole person completely lost weight, and between every move, the muscles on his body continued to bulge, and he was extremely lean.

The old turtle was also surprised and amazed when he saw Shi Lei's constant changes. He had never known that he could cultivate in this way, not cultivating spiritual power, not cultivating spiritual skills, but cultivating the will and cultivating the physical body.

Xing saw his doubts and explained, "Old man, don't show your ignorance, of course, you can cultivate." What is cultivated in this way is the most fundamental power of the physical body, although it may not improve much in strength immediately, but it will have a huge impact on the future. “

The old turtle nodded thoughtfully, as if he had seen a new realm. In the concept of cultivators in this world, as long as they encounter pressure and difficulties, they will unconsciously use their spiritual power, which has slowly become instinct. However, the more complex and powerful the cultivation, the easier it is to ignore the most fundamental things.

And even those who refine their bodies will only absorb spiritual vitality according to the exercises to enhance their physical strength, and will not choose such a painful way that requires great perseverance.

The old turtle witnessed how Shi Lei came step by step, in addition to the enhancement of physical strength, what amazed him even more was the comprehensive transformation of Shi Lei's spirit. It was a sharp and unyielding will, a look that did not change even if the heavens and the earth collapsed.

Not long after the stars fell, the old turtle was still pondering, and a faint halo slowly appeared on the bottom of the sea in front of him. It was as if a curtain of light suddenly appeared, cutting off the entire South China Sea.

Xing stopped, and spit out three words with a complicated expression, "God Killing Realm." “

Shi Lei and the old turtle also stopped, looking ahead curiously, no one knew what they would encounter inside.
