Wang Baole couldn't hear the word "pass" at that moment. After all, he had used all his strength in that attack. If it had been someone else with a weaker physical body, they might have killed him instead of knocking him unconscious.
Therefore, even though Wang Baole had the green lotus to recover, he still took two hours before he slowly opened his eyes. He looked around blankly and felt as if his head was about to explode. Fortunately, Wang Baole felt that he was getting used to the feeling of waking up from a coma. As he recalled everything that had happened before he fainted, Wang Baole's eyes widened. He quickly climbed up and looked around. He wasn't outside the palace, but inside it!
At the same time, the illusory old man who was sitting cross-legged had disappeared. Only an oval-shaped door of light remained where he had been meditating. It seemed to be waiting for Wang Baole to enter.
This scene made Wang Baole excited. His head didn't hurt anymore. He stood up and quickly walked over. He observed the door of light and looked around. If he still couldn't tell that he had passed, then he wouldn't be Wang Baole. Therefore, in his excitement, Wang Baole immediately laughed out loud.
"Daddy is still the smart one. It's just a trial. It's not difficult at all for Daddy!" Wang Baole smacked his stomach proudly. However, he didn't feel the elasticity that he remembered. Instead, he felt hard muscles that he wasn't used to. He couldn't feel them.
"Sigh, it's not good to be too skinny. It's still nice to feel some meat." Wang Baole sighed. He stood in front of the oval-shaped door of light, took a deep breath, and stepped in.
His vision was blurry, but it cleared up in an instant. The door of light was like a teleportation portal. In the next moment, Wang Baole was sent to a small world that the Vast Expanse Dao Palace had specially opened up for the legacy!
This small world wasn't big. It wasn't even as big as the moon. It was only one-tenth of the moon's size. Perhaps it wasn't small to ordinary people, but to Wang Baole, it was nothing.
However, the moment he entered, he was shocked by the state of the Minor World. The sky was white, and only the center was red. That color was not its original color, but … the sky was like a mirror, reflecting the ground!
There was no vegetation on the white land, only white sand that looked like a desert. It filled the entire world, except for a huge basin at the center of the world.
To be more precise, this was a ring-shaped mountain range. The mountain range formed a huge circle. From afar, it looked like a basin, but it also looked like a heavenly lake!
However, that wasn't what shocked Wang Baole the most. What shocked him the most was the fact that there were countless giant beast corpses piled up on the ring-shaped mountain range!!
Each and every one of these beast corpses was extremely ferocious. Although Wang Baole was unfamiliar with most of them, he still saw some of the Federation's ancient legendary existences, such as giant dragons!
Regardless of whether it was the winged dragons of the ancient West of the Federation or the green dragons of the East with bodies as large as serpents, they could be seen here in large numbers.
At the same time, Wang Baole also saw many large giants. Apart from that, there were also many Never-Ending Clan corpses. Roughly counting, there were hundreds of thousands of corpses here.
And these corpses had been thrown on the mountain range. The necks of each corpse had been slit open. When he looked closely, he could even see that the mountain rocks on the inner side of the mountain range were purplish-black, as if they had been stained with blood!
After seeing this scene, Wang Baole's expression turned solemn. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of something. Clearly, many years ago, someone had suppressed these ferocious beasts and Never-Ending Clan members here and slit their throats, causing them to wail here. Blood flowed down the mountain range and gathered in the basin … becoming … the giant blood pool in the ring-shaped mountain range!!
This blood pool was reflected in the sky, causing the center of the sky to be red and the surroundings to be white!
"This is … the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pool?" Wang Baole stood in midair and looked down at the blood pool in the mountain range below. After a long while, he suppressed the shock in his heart. Slowly, a strange light shone in his eyes.
From the words of the elder who had tested him, Wang Baole already knew that the main effect of the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pool was to increase the strength of one's physical body. Especially now that he had seen the corpses with his own eyes, Wang Baole had a rough idea of what it was.
"This is the Blood Refining of Ten Thousand Spirits. The nutrients contained in their blood are used to nourish the bodies of Dao Palace cultivators. It allows those who come here to obtain the creation to achieve astonishing improvements in their physical bodies!"
"This is a rare opportunity!" Wang Baole took a deep breath. He wasn't a clean freak and didn't mind the smell of blood and the way the blood pool was formed. Furthermore, even someone who was a clean freak would find it hard to reject this opportunity. That was especially so when Wang Baole's gaze landed on the blood pool. An instinctive desire gradually rose in his body.
It was like the thirst of dry earth for rain. At that moment, Wang Baole was just like that. Therefore, after a short moment of thought, Wang Baole's eyes shone brightly. His body flashed, and he rushed toward the blood pool below.
In an instant, Wang Baole approached the blood pool without hesitation. He sat down cross-legged on the blood pool, and his body sank to the bottom of the pool.
The moment his body came into contact with the blood pool, an indescribably majestic Qi and blood power erupted from the blood pool and rushed toward Wang Baole!
It was as if the Qi and blood power of the blood pool had been waiting there for countless years and had reached a saturation point. Wang Baole's appearance was like a vent for the blood pool. In an instant, the rich Qi and blood surged wildly, breaking open Wang Baole's body in an overbearing manner and burrowing into his body through his pores.
In the next instant, Wang Baole almost screamed. The feeling of blood burrowing into his body was like countless steel needles stabbing into him. It caused his body to tremble uncontrollably. At the same time, the Qi and blood burrowing into his body madly swam about, intensifying the feeling. Soon, a tearing sensation appeared, as if his body was about to explode.
This Qi and blood power was not spiritual energy. It had no effect on Cultivation, only on the physical body. Therefore, amidst the pain, Wang Baole wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that his body, after being stagnant for a long time, was finally beginning to rise again!
In reality, that was indeed the case. Wang Baole's senses were right. His physical body was indeed growing stronger. As the Blood Qi seeped into his body, his body was continuously being torn apart. Even his meridians, bones, and organs were being torn apart!
If one looked closely, they would be able to see that every inch of his flesh and bones were collapsing as the Qi and blood burrowed into them. Then, they were being nourished and rebuilt by the Qi and blood!
How could this process not be painful!
Even though Wang Baole was a ruthless person, he was in so much pain that he was about to lose consciousness. He could only grit his teeth to prevent himself from fainting. And this was also because he had fainted many times before and was already used to it. Otherwise, he would have fainted long ago.
And he wasn't sure if he would be judged to have ended the trial if he fainted here. Wang Baole didn't want to gamble. He only wanted to use his greatest willpower to persevere!
Therefore, the pain became more and more intense. The tearing feeling and roaring sounds coming from his body were secondary. Soon, Wang Baole knew what it meant to be even more torturous.
That was because as his physical body grew visibly stronger, the remnants of madness and indignation left behind by the creatures that had died in the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Pool before their deaths erupted in Wang Baole's mind as he absorbed the pool!
It was as if countless Ferocious Beasts were roaring in pain at the same time, attacking Wang Baole's consciousness. It made him feel as if he had transformed into those Ferocious Beasts and Never-Ending Clan members, experiencing their madness and hatred before death!
The impact of these remnant thoughts made Wang Baole lose himself in an instant. He first became a giant dragon and had his neck slit. Then, he became other Ferocious Beasts and had their throats slit. Just like that, he felt as if he had indeed transformed into those Ferocious Beasts and Never-Ending Clan members.
This feeling was as if he had truly experienced death countless times. These experiences of death also made Wang Baole have the illusion that he had died countless times.
In the next instant, he finally couldn't take it anymore and fainted. Only then did it end!
And the moment he fainted … his body in the blood pool emitted a strange fragrance. It suddenly broke through and erupted with … a powerful aura that surpassed that of ordinary Yuanying!
Physical Yuanying!
