Start with the fisherman

The blood pool was completely opened, but no one dared to enter. Instead, everyone looked at the white figure standing by the lake.

Ling Xiaoyu's record of fighting in the Dharmakaya realm in the open sea a few days ago and escaping safely has already spread. Even the grand masters of the older generation can only feel ashamed of themselves.

Ling Xiaoyu hasn't moved yet, so they can't act rashly. The blood pool is not a peaceful place.

Despite being the focus of everyone's attention, Ling Xiaoyu was not at all flustered. After carefully feeling the changes in the blood pool, he leisurely stepped into the lake in front of him.

Wow!

The water is slightly cool and there is a loud sound when entering.

However, the blood only covered Ling Xiaoyu's ankles. It seemed that this endless lake had only a shallow layer of water.

hum!
But it was this shallow layer of water that caused Ling Xiaoyu's body to sway and he almost fell to the ground.

But he quickly steadied himself and continued to move forward.

stomping on...

Except for the initial shaking of his body, Ling Xiaoyu's steps were steady and he quickly went deep into the blood pool.

At this time, other people also began to step into the blood pool. Many of them staggered and fell to the ground the moment they stepped into the blood pool, falling straight into the lake. Although there seemed to be only a shallow layer of water, these people seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss. If those who entered the blood pool were not at least Dragon Blood Masters, they would have drowned in the blood pool.

Even so, after these people climbed out of the lake, their faces were pale, as if they had seen a ghost. Their vitality was greatly damaged, and they dared not take another step forward. They could only quickly retreat from the blood pool.

Those warriors who had survived the first step all looked solemn. They did not dare to be careless or advance rashly. No one knew whether they would be able to climb up after going deep into the blood pool and then falling into the lake.

hum!
Luo Qingyun had already prepared himself mentally, but the moment he stepped into the blood pool, he still felt as if his head was hit hard by a hammer and he almost fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, he had a solid foundation, a good understanding of artistic conception, and a strong soul, and he withstood the threat from the blood pool.

Only then did he feel that there were strands of wonderful energy in the blood-colored lake water beneath his feet flowing into his body along his ankles. Without any refining, they were transformed into his qi and blood.

Just this one wisp made him, who was originally at the fourth level of Dragon Blood, feel that his Qi and blood power had increased significantly. If he continued to practice here, he was confident that he could improve his cultivation to the sixth level of Dragon Blood before the blood pool closed!

This is just the very edge of the blood pool. If we can go deeper, if we reach the core area of ​​the blood pool, what will the scene be like?

Luo Qingyun looked at the white figure walking in the distance and was horrified. Even though he had heard the legend of the blood pool many times, he was still shocked by the horror of the blood pool after actually entering it.

But he quickly retracted his gaze and looked down at his feet.

After resting for dozens of breaths, he tried to take the second step. A hammering more violent than before appeared in his mind, and Luo Qingyun managed to withstand it.

The sixth level of dragon blood is not his limit, he has to keep moving forward!
At this time, the warriors around the blood pool had already entered the blood pool, and were moving forward in the blood pool with difficulty. They took every step carefully, as if walking on thin ice, for fear that they would not be able to withstand the pressure of the blood pool and fall into the lake.

The top ten geniuses on the genius list and some older generation warriors who had been at the peak of the grandmaster level for a long time walked briskly and soon went deep into the blood pool and disappeared in the misty blood fog.

Behind them, some ordinary peak grandmasters were also moving very fast, but they gradually slowed down after going thousands of steps. Some even stopped directly, while others were still trying to move forward with sweat all over their foreheads.

Further behind them were ordinary grand masters. These people were taking hundreds or thousands of steps and they all reached their limits very quickly.

Some people gave up when they saw the difficulty and stopped practicing on the spot, while others were greedy and forced their way forward, only to fall into the lake with a splash and there was no sound for a long time.

At the end were those who had not even reached the Grand Master realm. Few of them could walk a hundred steps, and most of them stayed at the edge of the blood pool.

Even so, they all had happy expressions on their faces. The benefits of this blood pool were much greater than they had expected!
At this time, Ling Xiaoyu and others were almost reaching the center of the blood pool. They could see that in the center of the blood pool, there were nine lotus-shaped lotus platforms floating on the surface of the blood pool. The intensity of the special energy surging on them was incomparable to that in the blood pool!

At this time, Cao Ze also received the news and came to the outside of the garden.

These days he finally refined another soul-type elixir and raised his Tao seed to the great perfection realm, which delayed him for some time.

"who?"

"The blood pond is a restricted area, no one is allowed to enter without permission!"

However, Cao Ze was stopped at the door.

The blood pool is such a rare opportunity that naturally not everyone can enter. Only those who can reach the edge of the blood pool are people with a special background.

Originally, Cao Ze had defeated Chu Feng and should have been ranked ninth on the Tianjiao List. The top ten on the Tianjiao List would naturally be qualified to enter the Blood Pool.

However, Xuan Jingsi did not update the list, and Cao Ze was not on the list, so he naturally could not exercise this power.

Cao Ze didn't mind and showed the token given to him by Seventh Senior Sister. In addition to sending a communication jade talisman to the eldest senior brother, he also hinted to Seventh Senior Sister. Otherwise, he could hardly imagine whether Seventh Senior Sister, with her violent temper, would directly confront the Yuwen family.

"The Qin family's token?"

"Such a precious opportunity was given to a useless person. The Qin family is really going backwards!"

The two gatekeepers clicked their tongues, but showed no intention of letting Cao Ze in.

There is no doubt that these two people are the grand masters of the Yuwen family.

The blood pool is jointly managed by the eight major families and the City Lord's Mansion, and the major entrances are naturally guarded by the eight major families. Coincidentally, the direction Cao Ze came from is under the responsibility of the Yuwen family.

Naturally, they had recognized Cao Ze a long time ago. Even if they didn't know Cao Ze's appearance, they recognized the unique logo of the Phantom Soul Powder.

"Who our Qin family wants to give it to has nothing to do with you?"

"Step aside!"

A cold and sharp voice was heard, like a cold spear, stabbing straight at us.

Qin Yaoguang was not in a hurry to enter the blood pool, but arrived late.

Ha ha……

The two grandmasters of the Yuwen family sneered, but still made way.

Cao Ze had all the necessary documents, so they had no reason to stop him.

"I've been poisoned by the Phantom Soul Powder. What will happen even if I enter the blood pool?"

"Don't let us meet outside the city of Donghai County, otherwise, hehe!"

The two of them snorted coldly and looked at the backs of Cao Ze and the other man as they left.

Qin Yaoguang looked at the mark on Cao Ze's forehead and was silent for a while. She didn't ask any more questions. She knew that there were many powerful people in the Dharmakaya realm here, and once the words were spoken, it would be impossible to hide them.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister."

Soon, the two came to the edge of the blood pool. Cao Ze saw Qin Yaoguang's worry and said with a smile, "Junior brother will go ahead."

The opportunity of the blood pool depends entirely on yourself, outsiders can't help much, so there is no point in two people forming a team.

And he could also see that Seventh Senior Sister was now a fourth-level Grandmaster, but her blood and energy were weak. It was obvious that she had used some means to greatly improve her strength in a short period of time. She must have gained a lot in the blood pool.

As he spoke, Cao Ze stepped into the pool of blood.

hum!
It was like a sledgehammer hitting his mind hard, directly hitting Cao Ze's soul.

If an ordinary person was hit by such a hammer, he would be seriously injured or even turned into an idiot. But Cao Ze's Tao seed has been fully developed, and his soul is tougher than that of an ordinary warrior. For Cao Ze, this hammer is no different from a tickle.

Feeling the special energy surging under his feet, the Dan Ding Jue started to operate naturally, and the five internal organs in his chest started to operate naturally, and the five colors rotated, but this time it was not for refining, because the energy in the blood pool did not need to be refined at all. Instead, the five colors rotated like a whirlpool black hole, madly grabbing the energy in the pool water.

Now that he is a ninth-level grandmaster, no matter how much energy and blood he has, it will be useless. What he needs to do next is to seduce the original power to forge a Dharma body.

But Cao Ze was different from others. The nine divine dragons in his lower dantian were still devouring the special energy they had seized like gluttons. Their bodies were still growing, and their scales, dragon horns, and dragon claws were all undergoing miraculous changes.

None of the energy captured is wasted.

The only pity is that Cao Ze did not see any increase in their love.

Apparently, the energy of the blood pool doesn't seem to be wasted at all.

hum... hum... hum...

Once you step into the blood pool, the bombardment that strikes your soul will not stop, just like a blacksmith hammering rough iron, one hammer after another, even if you stop, the hammering will not stop.

However, Cao Ze gradually discovered the benefits of it. Under the hammering, his already tough soul actually grew a little bit stronger.

You should know that his current soul strength is even comparable to some weaker Dharmakaya realm masters. It is extremely difficult to make his soul grow even a little bit.

Just like steel that has been hammered, it becomes steel through repeated tempering!
But the force was too small, not enough, not enough at all.

Cao Ze looked into the depths of the blood pool and strode forward.

Let the storm come harder!
One step...two steps...

Cao Ze walked briskly and soon passed the Dragon Blood Realm Grandmasters at the outermost edge, followed by ordinary Grand Masters, ordinary Ninth Level Grand Masters...

Qin Yaoguang's eyes narrowed slightly. She had barely walked a thousand steps and had to stop. However, Cao Ze's pace in front of her did not slow down at all, and there was no change from when he stepped into the blood pool.

It's only been over half a year, and my junior brother has grown to this point?

She really wanted to see what the limit of her junior brother was.
Unfortunately, as the distance increased, Cao Ze’s figure disappeared in the blood mist.

"The one who just passed by was, Cao Ze?"

A ninth-level grandmaster looked at his friend beside him in confusion.

Cao Ze was moving so fast that they couldn't see him clearly.

This was also what surprised them. This was already the core area of ​​the blood pool. Even though they were ninth-level grandmasters, they were struggling to move. What kind of monster was that guy? How could he move so fast here?
"Yes, it's him!"

The friend said confidently, "The black mist on his forehead is the sign of the Phantom Soul Powder. There is no one else except him."

"I didn't expect that boy to be so strong. He can still move briskly in the core area of ​​the blood pool even after being poisoned by the Phantom Soul Powder!"

The ninth-level masters wandering around this area were secretly shocked, "This performance is definitely at the top five level of the Tianjiao Ranking!"

But he shook his head and sighed. If such a person had not been poisoned by the Phantom Soul Powder, he would definitely be able to forge a Dharma body in the future and become a powerful person who could suppress an area.

Unfortunately, you are too aggressive and don't know how to bide your time!

Cao Ze didn’t know what these people were thinking. At this time, he had already surpassed those top grandmasters of the older generation and also arrived at the core area!
These ninth-level grandmasters of the older generation all have profound backgrounds. They are very close to the real core area. They can already see nine people practicing cross-legged on nine lotus platforms in front of them.

Unfortunately, at this depth, even half a step would be an insurmountable chasm, an endless abyss, and they dared not take the risk.

Until they saw the young man strolling past them.

"what?"

"Isn't the blood pool's pressure effective against him?"

These top grandmasters of the older generation felt that their souls were probably shocked and they were having hallucinations.

No one can remain so calm under the soul impact in this area, not even Ling Xiaoyu who is at the top of the Tianjiao List, unless one is a great being in the Dharmakaya realm.

But the great ones in the Dharmakaya realm have no way of entering the blood pool.

So who is this young man?
They blinked several times and found that it didn't seem to be an illusion.

Because the young man had already arrived at the last lotus platform.

"Cao Ze!"

Chu Feng came out of his cultivation state, stood up from the lotus platform, and looked at Cao Ze, especially staring at the mark of the Phantom Soul Powder on his forehead.

He shook his head, "You are indeed very strong to have come here, but you have been poisoned by the Phantom Soul Powder. There is no need for you to come here. I am not going to pursue the matter of you cutting off my arm. Go back!"

"This is not the place you should come!"

Cao Ze's arrival caused quite a stir, and several warriors in the top ten of the Tianjiao list opened their eyes and looked over here.

Cao Ze glanced at Chu Feng, ignored him, and continued to move forward.

With his current cultivation level, Chu Feng was no longer in his eyes. Chu Feng had never been his target.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

Chu Feng snorted coldly and swung the sword in his hand like lightning.

Only when you step onto the lotus platform will you know how beneficial the nine lotus platforms in the center of the blood pool are.

If the benefit that can be obtained from the pond water is 1, then the benefit that can be obtained from the lotus platform is one hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand!
It’s simply impossible to estimate!

It was naturally impossible for him to give up the lotus platform.

"This Chu Feng really should not be underestimated!"

Yun Che, who was sitting on the seventh lotus platform, narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had fought with Chu Feng before, and at that time, Chu Feng was so powerful that he couldn't even look at him straight in the eye.

But after being defeated by Cao Ze in the battle of Donghai County City, he did not fall into despair. Instead, he rose from the ashes and his cultivation level was improved again. His artistic conception was also perfect and he was about to touch the threshold of Tao Seed.

When this sword was thrust out, even the aura was greatly different. The current Chu Feng was even qualified to fight him!

However, facing Chu Feng's sword, Cao Ze acted as if he didn't see it. He didn't dodge or avoid it, and he didn't even stop moving forward.

Zhao Lingxi, who was sitting on the second lotus platform, frowned.

Before entering the blood pool, Prince Yongping asked her to take care of the little guy he had just recruited.

Although this little guy has been infected with the Phantom Soul Powder and has no hope of regaining his Dharma body, Prince Yongping is still willing to protect him, and Zhao Lingxi is also willing to obey Prince Yongping's orders. It is precisely because of this Prince Yongping that a genius like Zhao Lingxi is willing to rely on him.

I just didn't expect this little guy to be so arrogant.

Then let him suffer a little, and save his life at the critical moment. (End of this chapter)
