Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 549 - Facing Death
Time trickled away by the second.
Only after all the dust in the air had settled on the ground did Shen Feng manage to roughly adjust his emotions. He still didn't know what kind of catastrophe had befallen the Immortal Realm.
Aside from Lan Binghan, were the others all right?
To help Lan Binghan reclaim the Lotus Heart was far from an easy task, even regaining his former peak power might not be enough to sweep away all obstacles, so he must break through his previous peak.
Fortunately, he now had a pretty good start. In the past, during the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had only broken through to the Ninth Layer, but now he had made it to the unheard-of Eleventh Layer.
He took a deep breath.
If someone could replicate a Heaven Breath Mirror, then there must be a real one out there.
This replicated Heaven Breath Mirror was definitely not something from Earth, indicating that in the distant past, supreme beings must have come to Earth.
Shen Feng's gaze surveyed the stone chamber again, his Perceptive Force fully released. After a while, he sensed nothing unusual about the surroundings.
Finally, his gaze once again fell upon the stone table, and after circling around it, he placed his palm on the stone table.
He had read many books about setting up mechanisms in the Immortal Realm.
Trying to rotate the stone table with both hands, he found it could move clockwise and counterclockwise. This must be the chamber's mechanism.
However, to turn the table the correct number of times and in the right direction was not something an ordinary person could accomplish.
Typically, one would rely on their hearing to discern the mechanism, listening to the sounds that the stone table made as it turned.
Those powerful grandmasters of mechanisms could use these sounds to unlock such mechanisms.
To know that turning the stone table would produce a mixture of sounds, one had to analyze and pick out the most subtle sound that would lead to the solution.
Shen Feng concentrated his Spiritual Energy in his ears. The extremely subtle sounds emanating from the mechanism would be very hard to distinguish without specialized training in Immortal Techniques related to hearing.
But Shen Feng had learned a bit of everything in the Immortal Realm, and being a bona fide grandmaster of mechanisms, naturally, he had cultivated the relevant Immortal Technique for hearing.
After trying to turn it clockwise and then counterclockwise,
Shen Feng, relying on the subtle sounds, determined that he should first turn it counterclockwise.
Slowly turning it counterclockwise for three rotations, Shen Feng then paused, followed by turning it clockwise for three rotations. Then, he moved his hands away from the stone table and focused his attention on two stone chairs.
First, he tried turning the one on the left to both sides, then turned this stone chair clockwise for three circles.
Next, he approached the one on the right, testing it with a slight turn in each direction. After discerning the correct turning direction by his hearing, he then turned this chair counterclockwise for three circles.
The moment he finished counterclockwise the three circles on this chair,

"Boom!"
A loud sound echoed through the air as the stone wall directly in front of the chamber automatically moved to both sides, revealing a pitch-black passage in front of Shen Feng.
At the entrance of this passage was an incredibly thin barrier that seemed as though it would collapse with a slight touch.
Shen Feng walked up to the entrance of the passage, his right palm pressing against what seemed to be a frail barrier.
After carefully sensing for a while, there didn't appear to be any mechanisms around to open the barrier; it could only be forcefully broken through with strength.
Moreover, this fragile barrier was far from as simple as it appeared; it contained a very powerful defensive force.
After withdrawing his right hand,
Shen Feng's body rapidly activated the Emperor King Jue, unleashing all his physical strength in a surging tide of power.
Suddenly, his right hand clenched into a fist.
He threw a punch.
The air around his fist was enveloped by a tremendous surge of Spiritual Energy, causing the surrounding space to distort severely. Although it was a simple and unadorned punch, its power was far from trivial, as if it could shatter everything.
There was a loud "Bang!"
His punch, filled with tremendous force, struck the frail barrier. Shen Feng had assumed that this punch would definitely break through the barrier.
However, the moment his fist touched the barrier, the defensive power within it suddenly surged, not only that, but it also released a powerful rebound force.
Even with Shen Feng's strong physique, which was badass, and his cultivation reaching the peak of the eleventh layer of Foundation Establishment.
After absorbing the rebound force, he felt a surge of Blood Qi within him, and with a "Pfft!" a mouthful of warm blood sprayed out from his mouth.
The rebound force within this weak barrier was too strong – it had actually shaken Shen Feng to the point of vomiting blood.
The Undead Monster Scorpion and the Void Mysterious Turtle nearby clearly did not expect this turn of events, just as they were about to step forward.
The entrance's barrier distorted for a moment, and in an instant, the layer of barrier disconnected from the entrance. In less than a second, the separated barrier enlarged continually, rapidly encasing Shen Feng within it.
The layer of barrier seemed to transform into a cubic cage.
After enveloping Shen Feng, the cubic barrier cage began to shrink incessantly.
Shen Feng's reactive ability was incredibly fast. The moment he was enveloped by the cubic cage, he tried to break through it.
But he realized that within this cubic barrier, he was utterly unable to activate his Cultivation Technique, and he couldn't even gather Spiritual Energy.
At the same time.
Within the shrinking cubic barrier, streams of formidable energy began to condense.
These surges of energy launched an assault on Shen Feng's body with relentless force, leaving no room for escape in such a confined space.
Shen Feng was unable to gather Spiritual Energy, but at least he could still unleash the strength of his flesh.
However, the energy generated within this cubic barrier was too powerful and could directly penetrate Shen Feng's physical body.
For a moment.
"Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!—" The sounds of sharp objects slicing through skin resonated continuously in the air.
Suddenly, wounds appeared all over Shen Feng's body. Blood flowed from his wounds incessantly; though not yet fatal, the look in his eyes was intensely grave.
As the cubic barrier continued to shrink towards his body, and as the formidable energy inside kept generating, his physical strength alone could not withstand it, and he was likely to end up squashed into a patty by the contracting barrier.
Who the hell had set up this barrier here? In the face of such a life-and-death crisis, Shen Feng did not panic but became even calmer.
Whether it was the Heaven Breath Mirror he had just imitated or the current bizarre barrier, all indicated that the former master of this place had an extraordinary level of cultivation,
Reliance on physical strength alone was definitely insufficient to break through this cubic barrier. Enduring the incessant strikes of the strong surges of energy, the edges of the cubic barrier were already touching Shen Feng's arms.
The Undead Monster Scorpion and the Void Mysterious Turtle outside, seeing Shen Feng in danger, immediately charged towards the cubic barrier, trying to help Shen Feng break through it.
