The Wind and Thunder Twin Birth landed with a howl on the boundary wall.
At this moment, Ye Zhongming felt very uncomfortable. The pulling force emitted by the stone wall of the boundary was something he couldn't resist. Because he was so close, the impact on him was significant. His energy was rapidly depleting, and every movement felt like his body was about to tear apart.
But he had to grit his teeth and persist. Ye Zhongming wanted to see if this opportunity was his chance to escape!
The sword edge of the Wind and Thunder Twin Birth brought about a familiar sensation, and Ye Zhongming was delighted. This was the feeling of breaking through the target. Sure enough, the boundary wall, which had become somewhat soft, was cleaved open by his sword!
Ye Zhongming then began to crazily slash at it. He knew that with every passing second, his strength would diminish, making it increasingly difficult to chop at the boundary wall. Now was the best time to exert his force.
The weapon he acquired from the Blue Secret Realm struck accurately at the same place each time, and the gap there was growing deeper.
Ye Zhongming chose a position between two trumpet openings, feeling that it would be softer there.
Things didn’t go smoothly. Just after a few minutes, Ye Zhongming felt a wave of weakness wash over him, and the depth he could cut into with each sword strike was decreasing. It should be noted that while the boundary wall had softened, it was only relative; its hardness was still quite high. Ye Zhongming's strongest first strike had only penetrated a dozen centimeters.
Anxiety gradually caused Ye Zhongming's eyes to redden.
The duration of the oscillation was not long, only a few moments. Not to mention how much energy Ye Zhongming would lose during this period, if he couldn’t break through the boundary wall now, it might really mean he would never escape in his lifetime.
But the ongoing weakness of his body made Ye Zhongming's hope of breaking through the boundary wall increasingly slim. Was he going to end his second life like this?
Suddenly, Ye Zhongming flung out a few seeds from his spatial pocket, followed by a large amount of black soil.
At this moment, there was no other way; it was a desperate gamble!
The seeds thrown in were Luo Shen Cypress, and the soil was Black Nourishing Life Soil.
Ye Zhongming wanted to use the power of life, attempting to force open the gap he had made, which was less than a meter deep!
This was the only method he could think of right now.
He threw in all the Black Nourishing Life Soil he had accumulated during this time.
Under his hopeful gaze, the seeds of the Luo Shen Cypress began to sprout and then grew wildly.
For the first time in days, Ye Zhongming felt hope for escaping.
Nurtured by the Nourishing Life Soil, the few seeds rapidly branched out. This mutated plant, which could grow into the Yama Tree, possessed robust vitality. They lived up to expectations and started to push open the “wound” that Ye Zhongming had created.
Although some branches had already reached outside the boundary wall towards Ye Zhongming, due to the insufficient depth of the cut, the trunk was still thickening and, although very difficult, was expanding the gap.
Seeing this, Ye Zhongming quickly had the ice bird fly above the wound and spray ice mist toward the boundary wall, making it even more fragile. This method indeed proved effective; the growth rate of the Luo Shen Cypress increased as a result.
The power contained in the national specialty, Nourishing Life Soil, could not be underestimated. Even in such a heavily restricted mysterious space, it still demonstrated astonishing energy.
Under its nourishment, even though Ye Zhongming was so weak that he could only support himself with his sword at the side, the Luo Shen Cypress continued to grow.
In fact, Ye Zhongming had already realized the mistake he had made. In such a situation, it was obviously best to throw in just one seed. That way, the energy from the Nourishing Life Soil would be more concentrated, and the momentum of the tree would be fiercer. Having more seeds would only disperse the energy.
