Shang's body atrophied, but it wasn't as extreme as usual. After all, Shang couldn't weaken his body too much, or the pressure in the surroundings would kill him.

CRK!

Several of Shang's bones broke, and his muscles were torn.

However, everything was still under control.

While all of this was going on, Shang kept infusing the barrier in front of him with the Death Mana he was creating. He was keeping the amount of Death Mana in his body consistent so that he perpetually remained at the edge of death.

Shang remained like this for several minutes.

Meanwhile, many kilometers away, a Bolt was watching over the Clouds that had been assigned to him, with Shang being one of them.

He was paying special attention to Shang due to his identity as a warrior and the fact that he had just found one of the exclusive trials within the Deep Crevices.

These trials housed several challenges, and if one managed to clear all of them, one would get the rewards.

Most of the time, the first challenge of a trial was to find it.

The entrance to the Trial Shang was trying to get into was at the bottom of the crevice, and one would need to pay special attention to all the Earth Mana down there.

If one had some ability to reveal Magic Circles or secrets, one could find the entrance. After that, one only needed to reverse engineer the key to open the entrance.

"Wonder how long he will keep trying," the Bolt muttered to himself.

There was only one entrance to this Trial, and the place where Shang was trying to get to was not an entrance.

It was a wall.

Since Clouds were not supposed to enter from this point, the barrier on the walls was extremely powerful. One would need to be a strong Mage Lord to break through this barrier, and one would also need a couple of minutes to get through it.

Obviously, no Ancestral Mage Cloud could possibly hope to get through that barrier.

More minutes passed, and eventually, the Bolt noticed that the spot that Shang had been touching had turned grey.

The Bolt was quite surprised that a warrior at the Early Sixth Realm could influence such a powerful barrier, but that still shouldn't be an issue.

Some more minutes passed, and the grey spot had grown to be as big as Shang.

The clear parts around that grey spot had also started to vibrate, and Mana was ceaselessly flowing into the grey spot like a flood.
