Standing in front of the door just outside the range of the terrifying aura, Xuan Hao turned around and looked back towards the sandstone doors that were now hidden behind the dark mist that covered the dark and eerie hallway behind him.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm At first, he had thought he would be able to make use of the formation to find a way out, but given the terrifying aura present, he began to doubt whether or not he had overestimated his own abilities. Even if the formation was in a worse shape due to the passage of time and didn't have anyone in charge of it any longer, it was still a powerful formation that was far beyond his comprehension.
Thinking about it for just a few seconds, Xuan Hao understood that he had been a little too arrogant when thinking that he would ever be able to gain any level of control over such a powerful formation even if he managed to find the formation core.
Not to mention trying to get some level of control over the formation core, his current strength was not even enough to approach it!
No, I should be able to approach it if I can adjust to the terrifying pressure.
Narrowing both of his eyes as he thought about this, Xuan Hao decided to try and approach the door again, soon feeling the terrifying aura envelop his entire body and soul before locking them in place. Although he could still move, it was at an incredibly slow pace…
Knowing that it would possibly take weeks before he could even reach the door at his current speed, Xuan Hao decided to close both of his eyes as he used what little power, he could still use to calm himself down before starting to adjust to the terrifying pressure. Only after adjusting enough to move at a normal pace would, he have a chance to find out where the terrifying aura was coming from.
Whoosh~
Pushing the inherent fear, he felt when affected by the terrifying aura, Xuan Hao felt the pressure on his soul and body lessen significantly. Although he was still far from being able to move properly under the terrifying pressure, he clearly felt that it had become easier to move. Meaning that it was indeed possible for him to adjust to the pressure.
With a bit more time, I should be able to pass through the doors and find out where the terrifying pressure is from…
Thinking about this as he looked towards the wooden doors in front of him, Xuan Hao soon closed both of his eyes as he focused his full attention on trying to adjust his body and soul to the terrifying pressure.
Like this, time flew by and by the time Xuan Hao opened his eyes again, it had already been over nine days since the death of the guardian of the desert. Making Xuan Hao doubt his earlier prediction of only being able to stay inside a trial space for seven days after completing the trial.
In turn, making him start to regret the fact that he had decided to return to the Exchange Hall to look for the gate out of the trial space. Considering that there seemed to be no limit on how long he could stay inside the desert trial, it would have been far safer for him to just search through the desert for any sign of the gate instead of risking his life going into a place that had already demonstrated how dangerous it was when he first encountered the preservation golem.
Well… it's not like I can just go back anymore…
Understanding that there was nothing he could do now that he had ended up trapping himself inside the core part of the Exchange Hall, Xuan Hao only shook his head in regret as he thought about this before focusing his attention back on to the pair of wooden doors in front of him.
After spending the last two days trying to adjust to the terrifying pressure that came from something on the other side of the wooden doors, he had already successfully managed to reach a level where he could walk normally under the terrifying pressure.
Of course, this was still not something that came without a cost, as he would not be able to use any of his power to defend himself while moving. The only form of defense that he had was his physical body…
Thump! Thump!
However, Xuan Hao didn't care too much about this as he began moving towards the wooden doors. If he really ended up encountering an enemy who could attack under the terrifying pressure, he doubted that his Intermediate stage Dao Domain Lord Realm strength would be able to do anything in the first place.
Reaching the wooden door in only a few steps, Xuan Hao used all of his strength to try and push it open-
"Hah? This- Why is it so hard to open!?"
Unfortunately, he quickly discovered that there was no way for him to push the door open with the strength available to him. Even if a normal mortal would have been able to easily open the wooden doors, there was no way for him to even exert this little bit of strength under the terrifying pressure.
What to do… If I can't get past a simple pair of wooden doors, how am I ever going to leave this place!?
Feeling a sense of unease welling up inside him after realizing he had been defeated by a simple wooden door, Xuan Hao wanted nothing more than to burn the pair of wooden doors in front of him.
But… If I can't push open the wooden doors, can't I just use my own weight to push them open!?
Thinking about this the next moment, Xuan Hao didn't bother trying to think about any other solution as he allowed his body to fall forward into the pair of wooden doors-
Bang!
Falling straight into them and pushing them open in the process, Xuan Hao soon smashed into the ground with over half his body now on the other side of the wooden doors.
