Lin Mu could still force his way downward as his physical strength was more than enough. But the problem was efficiency. If the lake was several kilometers deep, Lin Mu might spend hours simply swimming to the bottom.
He saw no reason to waste that much time.
'I'll cheat.' Lin Mu activated Phase.
His body immediately disappeared from the physical dimension and the pressure vanished. The dense water no longer affected him, so Lin Mu began sinking.
Phase allowed him to travel through physical matter because his body temporarily existed within another dimensional state. Whether it was stone, metal, earth, or water made little difference.
Lin Mu descended rapidly as several minutes passed. He continued moving downward, when something changed. Lin Mu felt himself pass through a different material.
'Ground?' He stopped.
