[You can break the barrier after holding the stance for 2 years 7 months 11 days 3 hours 43 minutes and 35 seconds]
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
Alex had expected he would need to hold his position for some time in order to crack the barrier, but that amount of time was just absurd. Even if he somehow exhausted all his options and kept on holding the sword in such a tiring position, he didn't have two years to waste locked in this place.
The upcoming tribulation would be held in three days and even with all the preparation he made, he had to be there for his family and friends.
"Stroke, is there really no other way to break the barrier?"
[With your current condition, that is impossible]
Ardeth and Tiffany stared at Alex, concern evident in their gaze. As he was the only one capable of hearing Stroke, he was the only one who knew the gravity of their current situation.
