Zhong Kui's Diary
"If I were you, after releasing the bubble, I would wait for the cooldown period of three hours before diving again. That way, even if the bubble bursts, you can immediately release a new one, giving you time to cast Spell to defeat that fish... Oh, by the way, this reminds me of something. Although that fish was large, it posed no real threat to you; it wasn't your opponent at all. As long as you used one Thunderous Strike, it would definitely be finished. Hehe, you weren't scared silly back then, were you?" Firebird chuckled.
I was left speechless. Clearly, Firebird had hit the nail on the head; I had indeed been a bit dazed at that moment.
Ignoring Firebird's mockery, I exited the Mystical Realm and returned outside. Sure enough, the suffocating feeling from before had vanished. Overjoyed, I silently recited the incantation and unleashed Thunderous Strike. Countless bolts of lightning struck the corpse of the Sperm Whale, and amidst the dazzling white light, I felt the ground tremble around me.
However, the body of the Sperm Whale did not shatter.
I was still unconvinced and gritted my teeth to cast another Thunderous Strike. In the brilliance of the lightning, the body of the Sperm Whale remained unchanged.
Two Thunderous Strikes had no effect? Anger surged within me as I danced around in frustration and unleashed seven or eight more Thunderous Strikes in quick succession.
Finally, in the blinding light of the last Thunderous Strike, the corpse of the Sperm Whale was blown into pieces.
Damn it! This was just the corpse of the Sperm Whale, and it took me over ten Thunderous Strikes to shatter it. If it were alive, wouldn't it take dozens of Thunderous Strikes? My total magical power could only unleash about a hundred Thunderous Strikes. If three or four Sperm Whales came at me, I would be exhausted to death.
Returning to the Mystical Realm to catch my breath, I angrily scolded Firebird: "Didn't you say one Thunderous Strike could take care of it? I had to throw over ten just to break its body."
Firebird immediately protested loudly: "I wasn't wrong! It's like if you go to kill someone; whether you slit their throat or stab their heart, either way can solve the problem with one strike. But if you want to dismember them completely, that's going to take many strikes."
Though bluntly put, this Firebird seemed quite knowledgeable.
Back in the water, I struggled to swim upward.
Surrounded by darkness, I could see nothing. The lack of visibility made me particularly anxious, and my mind was filled with wild thoughts—what if there was a shark with its mouth wide open above me? If I entered its mouth, it would snap and crush my head... Or what if there was a Giant Squid above me? The moment I touched it, its ten tentacles would wrap around me and squeeze me into a sausage...
Although I knew I had Devouring Energy to protect me, and that even if a shark bit me or an octopus ensnared me, they might not be able to do much harm, fear is fear, and this psychological state is unavoidable. It's like when you're studying and often imagine that the ceiling fan will suddenly fall down, causing your classmates below to be splattered everywhere...
Fear arises from the unknown; this damned darkness is the root of all fear.
I couldn't take out my flashlight either. Under such pressure, if I pulled it out, it would surely get crushed. Better to save it; after all, there was only one spare flashlight inside.
From time to time, I would enter the Blazing Barrier Realm to breathe. I didn't know how long I had been floating when suddenly, I saw a dense cluster of bright lights above. At first, I was stunned, then my scalp tingled because I knew what those lights were.
They were the lights emitted by Deep-Sea Dragonfish. Each point of light represented a Deep-Sea Dragonfish. Although these Deep-Sea Dragonfish were only as long as a finger, damn it, these creatures were carnivorous.
It seemed that these Deep-Sea Dragonfish had also noticed me. In the blink of an eye, countless Deep-Sea Dragonfish shot towards me like lightning.
Panic surged within me. I pointed and released a Spell—Thunderous Strike. Damn, you want to eat me? I'll electrocute you!
Amidst countless bolts of lightning, those Deep-Sea Dragonfish were blown to pieces on the spot.
At that moment, I suddenly felt a tingling sensation throughout my body and remembered something—I had completely forgotten to cast the insulation Spell taught to me by Kong Xuan before releasing Thunderous Strike. The Spell I had cast earlier had already exceeded its effective duration of ten minutes.
This meant that I no longer had insulation against lightning. The energy from countless bolts of lightning concentrated on me through the seawater. In that instant, my entire body felt numb... Motherfucker, this sensation was simply unbelievable.
As for why I wasn't instantly killed by the lightning, it was because I still had the protection of Devouring Energy surrounding me. When the lightning struck me, Devouring Energy rose up in resistance, enduring the bombardment of tens of thousands of lightning strikes in just a few seconds.
After the lightning disappeared, before I could even feel relieved, I suddenly sensed that the pressure around me had increased dramatically, as if ten or so Muscular Men were simultaneously pushing against me.
What is happening? Did the recent lightning strike destroy the defense layer of the Devouring Energy?
There was no time to think, as the pressure of the seawater grew stronger. I felt my blood vessels rapidly expanding, and my skin seemed like it was about to collapse inward. All my muscles were trembling, seemingly resisting this immense pressure.
The Devouring Energy within me felt like a dam precariously standing against a raging Tsunami, with large cracks already beginning to appear on its surface.
The protective layer could shatter at any moment.
Since there are Deep-Sea Dragonfish at this depth, the water here is approximately 10 meters deep, meaning the water pressure is about 1 atmosphere. If the protective layer of the Devouring Energy breaks, I would be crushed into a pulp with no other possibility.
The pressure of the seawater continued to increase. I could even feel my ribs in my chest creaking, and those capillaries had started to rupture. My eyes were nearly bulging out of their sockets, and my ears were in excruciating pain.
The Devouring Energy was weakening further, and the protective layer seemed to be getting thinner.
Thinner and thinner...
Finally, with a loud crash, the protective layer of the Devouring Energy collapsed. Just when I thought I was doomed this time, a surge of immense energy rushed into my hands, instantly merging with the remnants of the Devouring Energy. Along with that faintly visible Yin-Yang Energy that constantly roamed within me, this mixed energy filled my body in an instant. At that moment, I could no longer feel the pressure of the seawater outside; it was as if I were simply swimming in a Swimming Pool.
What on earth just happened?
Suddenly, the familiar voice of Firebird echoed in my mind, filled with joy: "Congratulations, Master! Congratulations!"
"What’s going on?"
"You have now merged with my Blazing Barrier Realm," Firebird chuckled.
"Merged? When did this happen?" I was puzzled.
"Just now," Firebird laughed heartily, feeling quite relaxed and at ease. "At the moment you were on the brink of death, my Mystical Realm fused with you. Because of your fusion with the Mystical Realm, I was freed from it."
I was about to ask more but realized I was running out of breath. I hurriedly prepared to dive into the golden sphere, only to find that the Mysterious Realm Golden Sphere had vanished without a trace of the Mystical Realm. I couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Damn, this Mystical Realm really merged! Where am I supposed to breathe?"
Firebird sighed in exasperation: "Master, don’t you still have two golden spheres? One is Frozen Boundless Realm and the other is Wind Sweeping the Remnants of Clouds Realm. Just grab one of them!"
Right, I quickly rummaged through my Mustard Seed Pendant and pulled out a golden sphere, channeling my spiritual energy to dive inside.
This was the Frozen Boundless Realm, a world blanketed in silver-white with snowflakes drifting everywhere.
"Ice Cream! Ice Cream!" After catching my breath, I shouted loudly.
"I'm here, Master. What’s up?" Ice Cream's cheerful voice came back.
"What’s going on here?" I recounted the events leading up to this moment.
"This is obvious, isn't it? You've already merged with Blazing Barrier. I never expected that both Thunder God and Firebird have been liberated. It's just me and Wind Rooster still working for you," Ice Stick sighed.
"How did the merging happen? Isn't it supposed to be that the Eight Great Masters need to come together to merge with the Mystical Realm?" I was puzzled.
"That's just one way to do it. Didn't I tell you about other methods?" Ice Stick looked down on my memory: "First, it's the joint effort of the Eight Great Masters. Second, there's the meditation method. Third, the Revival Technique. Fourth, the Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Method."
I suddenly understood: "So, I just used the Revival Technique?"
At that moment, Firebird's voice unexpectedly chimed in: "Not entirely, because you weren't dead at that time."
"What happened then?" I was even more confused.
"I estimate it was a combination of the Revival Technique and the Eight Great Masters method. Although you weren't dead, you were close to it. Then, the pressure from the seawater acted like the Eight Great Masters exerting their power simultaneously, which allowed you to merge with the Mystical Realm." Firebird laughed heartily: "But don't worry about how the merging happened; that's no longer my concern. After I leave the Fire Element techniques in your mind, I'll say goodbye to you, just like Thunder God. I'll find some kid to possess and enjoy a real life."
Suddenly, I felt three spells of Fire Elemental Spells appear in my mind: Blazing Lantern, Flame Dragon Killing Formation, and Wildfire. Among them, Blazing Lantern is at the same level as Nine Divine Thunder, classified as a Master Level Spell. The Flame Dragon Killing Formation is at the same level as Five Thunder Strikes, also a Master-Level Spell. Meanwhile, Wildfire is at the same level as Thunderous Strike, categorized as a Grandmaster Level Spell.
Wow, what a windfall!
