Chen Ku had successfully broken through to the Second Layer of the Mystic Barrier.
But he didn't experience any of the dangers his two masters had warned him about, such as "Feigned Death," "Coma," or "being possessed by the Devil." Instead...
He revived in an instant.
Chen Ku recollected the sensation of that instant when he had exerted all his Qi Power to break through the Death Gate.
At that time, it felt as if one foot had already stepped up to death's door, his mind stiffening, as if frozen within the Death Gate.
Recalling it now, it felt as if he had spent several years within the Death Gate.
Then, a thunderclap seemed to explode behind his head.
He woke up.
The Death Gate had opened.
He was completely unharmed.
Furthermore, in the outside world, the time it took for him to break through the Death Gate had indeed only been a moment.
Is this what it feels like at the moment of life and death?
Chen Ku muttered, "The ancients truly did not deceive me."
