Chapter 557
Chapter 557
"The biggest enemy of a person is often himself."
In the past, Tom didn't quite agree with this saying, but now, he finally understood its meaning.
The biggest enemy of a person was indeed himself, or rather, the flaw in his character, his laziness,
greed, jealousy, or the demon in his heart.
For Tom, he was fighting against his own demon. The more he wanted to enter the realm, the more the
demon kept him from doing so.
In fact, this power already had its own consciousness and could have a conversation with him!
It was his heart demon.
"You're so arrogant. How dare you come into an enclosed space and put your own safety on Elliot?"
"You're very nervous. The oxygen in the space is getting less. It's impossible for you to survive more
than eleven days."
"If you die, Phoebe will be implicated by your arrogance. You will never save Phoebe."
"You..."
This voice became louder in Tom's mind. Finally, it sounded like thunder in his ear.
He was also getting more flustered because it was beyond his plan and expectations. He had never
thought his seclusion would be bothered by a demon in his heart!
Yes, he was too arrogant. He thought he was a genius who could break through any difficulties. In fact,
he was just a luckier ordinary person.
He realized that in the past year or so, he had improved too fast, which could be called amazing speed.
In just over a year, he had completed the journey that other masters in the Innate Realm could not
complete in ten years.
Since he improved too fast, his foundation was not stable and he had a heart demon. Before, his will
was still firm, so the heart demon had not come out. However, when he was in a panic, the heart
demon immediately came out and had a huge impact on him!
It was conceivable that if he could not defeat the demon in his heart, then he would die here. He would
definitely not last for eleven days, not even three days!
At the moment, because of Tom's nervousness and the completely enclosed space, he began to
become hot and dry. He sweated a lot, and his physical strength was exhausted.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Tom opened his eyes and his breathing became rapid.
In his mind, the demon's voice was louder and more triumphant. "You panicked. You've already lost.
Tom, you think you're good, but you're just a coward."
Then, in his mind sounded the voices of Peter, May, and Sean who were cursing him viciously and
sneering at him.
This time, Tom was so panicked that he even felt scared.
And his physical strength was also exhausted very quickly...
In just two hours, one-third of the oxygen in the space was consumed by him, the amount for a whole
day.
Just as his consciousness was gradually invaded, a light appeared deep in his mind, which made his
whole body tremble and calmed him down a little.
He saw a figure in the bright light.
It was Phoebe.
This was what Phoebe looked like when she married him in her wedding dress.
He was stunned. Then, the corners of his mouth were turned up and a heartfelt smile appeared.
The voice in his mind was still very loud, but in his heart, there was already a trace of clarity, just like in
the darkness, there was a trace of light, which represented himself.
He relied on this glimmer of clarity to let himself sit still, then slowly adjusted his breathing, ignoring the
noise of the demon in his heart, and he began to enter the realm.
"That's impossible, Tom. How can you regain your clarity?"
"Tom, you're just an orphan. You're trash that the Howards doesn't want. You're the son-in-law who
lives in your wife's the Scotts. What right do you have to become supreme?"
"Tom, you can't succeed. You're destined to die here..."
"Tom..."
Tom turned a deaf ear to the voice of the demon in his heart. In his consciousness, he grabbed a faint
light, which became stronger and stronger. In the end, he drove away the darkness and lit up the whole
depth of his consciousness.
At the same time, in his mind, the voice disappeared.
The demon was overcome by him and was gone.
At the moment when the demon of his heart completely disappeared, Tom felt as happy and relaxed as
he had never felt before. He was alive!
In particular, he seemed to have been liberated in the spiritual world. He was like a runaway horse and
he improved himself a lot.
In the past, his progress was too fast, which led to the appearance of a heart demon. Now that the
demon was eradicated, he became totally different. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
If he hadn't made himself weak through this seclusion, and the demon of his heart had not taken
advantage of the situation, he would not be able to eradicate it this time. If it waited until he was trying
to reach the Immortal Realm while he was already a Major Perfection Realm master in the Innate
Realm and tried to disturb him then, he would definitely be dead!
Now, he suddenly felt much more cheerful, and he could see his future more clearly!
He had already known the threshold of the Major Perfection Realm in the Innate Realm, not like before
when he only knew it vaguely. As long as he was given more time, he would definitely be able to break
through to the realm of the Major Perfection Realm.
He could even go for the Immortal Realm: it was no longer a dream.
There was a faint smile on his face, and then his consciousness gradually dissipated. If it was
figuratively described, it was as if originally, his consciousness was like water in an artificial lake, but
now, the lake gradually became smaller. In the end, it became a tank of water, then a bucket of water,
and finally shrunk into a small glass of water.
After he completely entered the realm, his body slowly stiffened and did not move. In the end, he even
breathed much less. After about ten seconds, he took a slow breath.
Even his heartbeat slowed down gradually. His heart would beat once in over 10 seconds. If someone
was here, he could find that his body temperature gradually decreased. In the end, he already seemed
to be a corpse!
Tom had successfully entered the realm, on the basis of being completely seclused and giving his life
to someone else.
This was extremely difficult, even impossible!
If this news was spread, it would definitely cause shock to countless people!
Because, in fact, over the past hundred years, many people tried this kind of destructible method, but
all of them failed.
Some of them were not determined enough and left a way out for themselves. For example, when the
oxygen was totally consumed, they fled the space on their own. Some were determined, but they
couldn't beat their own demons and were suffocated to death in the space.
It was not that easy to do that.
There was no one like Tom who was determined enough and could also defeat his own demon!
And after he successfully entered the realm, the benefits were extremely great.
Three days later, Tom condensed his consciousness to a point, a small drop of water. His body,
completely in the realm, only needed to take a breath in an hour, and his heartbeat the same way. He
was just like a dead person.
At the same time, seven days after he was confined to this space, a group of people came to the
Military Intelligence 3 came menacingly.
The first one was Beckett's brother-in-law, Redford, the Military Intelligence 2's instructor.
Behind him, there were more than a dozen people, and half of them were masters in the Innate Realm!
Even Pence came out to greet Redford and said with a smile, "Redford. Welcome."
Behind Pence, Thorn, Joshua and other executives were also there. They saw Redford's grim face and
had a bad feeling.
Redford didn't show due respect for Pence. Instead, he took out a cell phone, found a video, and
played it for him.
This was a surveillance video in which a person was standing with his back turned to the camera. It
was no one but Tom!
The video showed the scene of Tom killing Beckett in that villa.
Pence's heart skipped a beat when he saw the video.
Redford immediately said, "Director Pence, is this person in the video your Military Intelligence 3's
instructor?"
