Chapter 3613 The Buddha Region

Water suddenly gushed out and filled the surroundings of the palace.

The temperature gradually reached an extremely low point but the water continuously flowed without being frozen.

However, as the water eventually made contact with Zen, a sudden unimaginable chill seeped into the deepest parts of his soul. He instantly lost focus and was flabbergasted by the uncontrollable piercing sensation brought about by the cold water.

"It's so cold..." Every part of his body was already trembling.

The water rose quickly, almost submerging four-fifths of their bodies. Gonggong then said to Zen, "If you're able to hold on for five minutes, you pass. If not, then you fail."

Soon, the rising water filled the whole palace, fully submerging both Zen and Gonggong.

Zen's body heat quickly dissipated and his entire body grew stiff. It was a very dangerous situation as he couldn't even move an inch.

'I can't take this anymore...'

Previously, during the test by Zhurong, the God of Fire, Zen easily aced it as his body couldn't be harmed by fire. However, as he faced Gonggong, his weakness was exposed as he had so much difficulty in dealing with the low temperature that was overwhelming his body.

Crack!

Under the supreme pressure brought about by the numbing cold water, cracks began to appear on the surface of Zen's body. His flesh was gradually being torn apart.

What scared him more was that as his body started to rip, he didn't feel any pain.

'How did all my strength leave my body? Is it because of the very low temperature?' Zen thought as his mind went hazier by the minute.

When his body started to crack, even the Chaotic Source Spirits couldn't be activated. This was the first time that Zen had experienced being subjected to such a low temperature.

'I need heat to restore my strength!'

He remembered that energy could bring heat into one's body as it swirled inside.

In the moment of desperation, Zen madly extracted a lot of divine megatons of force.

As the force surged through his body, his stiff bones and muscles gradually recovered. Heat quickly gathered and spread throughout his body.

At the same time, Gonggong was looking at Zen indifferently from a distance. He was quite disappointed with his performance.

'He should have been smarter than this and done something right away when he came into contact with the cold water. Now it might be too late for him.'

Zen had been frozen for a while and G

hadn't developed.

When Zen had read through the ancient books in the Source World, he also found out the origin of Zhurong, the God of Fire. He discovered that he belonged to a human force that had fought with the Sky Rending Rhinoceros before. But since the said force didn't develop, they also disappeared in the Source World.

Dong!

A loud and melodious bell rang out in front of Zen.

Immediately after, a ray of golden light bloomed out before Zen as a huge Buddha statue appeared from the blinding lights.

His hands took the mudra of teaching. Then he looked at Zen with an amiable gaze.

Just when Zen was about to speak, the Buddha suddenly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, Zen felt that his chest became unusually heavy. His eyes were also forced to close. Everything turned dark and inaudible.

However, for Zen, whose six senses were sealed, did not fall into the darkness.

In his innermost being, the golden light bloomed once again. He faced the Buddha with his consciousness. He saw that the Buddha was still staring at him with the mudra of teaching. With this, his innermost being was also sealed and he sank to the innermost being of his innermost being.

Just as Zen was about to face the Buddha again using the innermost being of his innermost being, the same thing happened that forced him into the third layer of his innermost being.

As Zen kept on being sealed repeatedly, he had lost count of which layer of his innermost being he had reached.

He only felt that the change of time was extremely slow, and every time that he would open his eyes, he could always see the calm face of the golden Buddha.
