Chapter 382: Chapter 381: The Divine Martial Blood Pool Opens
Ouyang Shaoyu’s expression was incredibly grim at that moment. The Martial Artist was his junior brother, yet Shen Haoran had completely disregarded his presence. He snapped, "Shen Haoran, you’re quite the tyrant. You dare strike a disciple of my Fallen Valley? Do you really think I don’t exist?"
In response to Ouyang Shaoyu’s cold rebuke, Shen Haoran simply smiled faintly. "It’s just the law of the jungle. So what if you’re here? So what if he’s a disciple of your Fallen Valley? I taught him a lesson. What about it? Are you going to avenge him?"
"You... If the Divine Martial Blood Pool weren’t about to appear, I would tear you to pieces to vent my hatred!" A cold glint flashed in Ouyang Shaoyu’s eyes as he spoke frigidly.
"If you want to try, then bring it on. I’m ready whenever you are," Shen Haoran said with a faint smile. His casual, unbothered demeanor made Ouyang Shaoyu burn with rage. However, he glanced at the enormous, blood-colored pit and could only suppress his fury. ’The Divine Martial Blood Pool is about to appear. I have to enter it in peak condition to absorb the Energy inside as fast as possible. Every opening is time-limited, and the Energy within isn’t infinite. I need to absorb every last bit I can. Who knows? That tiny bit of extra Energy might be just what I need to break through to the Spirit Aspect Tier!’
Seeing that Ouyang Shaoyu had fallen silent, Shen Haoran paid him no more mind. He returned to Murong Wanqing and Han Xu’s side and said softly, "Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you both get a share of this Divine Martial Blood Pool."
Murong Wanqing and Han Xu gazed at Shen Haoran’s young face, and a wave of warmth spread through their hearts. They had caused him so much trouble, yet he still defended them so fiercely. In that moment, both Murong Wanqing and Han Xu silently vowed to follow him to the end. At the same time, their own desire for strength surged to an unprecedented level.
’As the young lady of the Murong Clan, Murong Wanqing’s Talent is actually exceptionally rare. It’s just that she’s still young and has a playful nature, which is why her Cultivation has fallen behind. I bet after this, she’ll finally set aside that playfulness. And Han Xu, he has an Extreme Attribute Physique—a mutated Sand Attribute, no less. His potential is completely untapped. Once he undergoes proper training, his potential for growth will be immense. If those two develop their strength, they’ll become huge assets to me!’
BOOM! Just as Murong Wanqing and Han Xu were making their silent vows, a deafening thunderclap suddenly echoed from the heavens.
The sudden thunderclap startled everyone, and they all lifted their heads toward the sky. Overhead, patches of blood-red storm clouds had appeared out of nowhere, slowly converging. In an instant, the entire world was bathed in a crimson light, an incredibly eerie sight.
The crimson clouds continued to converge until a massive, blood-red vortex slowly formed above the deep pit. The vortex spun slowly, its tendrils constantly reaching down into the chasm. From within the vortex, Shen Haoran and the others could clearly feel a terrifyingly vast Energy gathering at a frantic pace.
"The Divine Martial Blood Pool is about to open!"
Watching the strange phenomenon unfold in the sky, a hint of delight sparked in the eyes of Shen Haoran and the others.
As the massive crimson vortex in the sky drew closer to the summit, the Energy on the mountaintop began to fluctuate violently. Streams of Energy, like bolts of blood-red cloth, erupted from the surrounding crimson earth and shot into the vortex. freeweɓnøvel.com
As these crimson bolts poured in, the vortex began to spin faster and faster. Fierce gales materialized out of nowhere, WHOOSHING and rampaging across the summit. The sharp winds sliced into the surrounding boulders, leaving behind cracks as thick as a man’s arm.
At the sight, immense Spiritual Power erupted from the bodies of Shen Haoran and his companions, wrapping around them to resist the corrosive gales. They stood rooted to the spot like unmoving boulders. Everyone who had made it to this summit was an elite of the younger generation; there were naturally no weaklings here.
In the sky, the crimson vortex grew ever larger, the Energy contained within it becoming more and more terrifying. Then, in an instant, its rotation finally began to slow as the vortex descended to hover just above the deep pit.
DRIP... DRIP...
Suddenly, a few drops of crimson rain fell from the vortex. They landed in the deep pit and instantly dissolved into the earth. Moments later, the bloody rain intensified until, in the blink of an eye, it was gushing from the crimson vortex like a waterfall.
BANG!
Finally, a massive column of blood-red Energy, dozens of yards wide, erupted from the vortex. It smashed into the deep pit like a cannonball, and a terrifying wave of Energy instantly surged outward. The faces of Shen Haoran and the others changed drastically as they scrambled to retreat.
BOOM!
The terrifying shockwave of Energy swept past, instantly blasting the boulders around the pit into fine powder. Shen Haoran and the others were sent skidding back dozens of yards, only stopping at the very edge of the summit. Gazing at the mountaintop, which had been cleared bare in an instant, they couldn’t help but gasp.
High above, having poured out its crimson Energy, the vortex slowly faded until it vanished completely. The deep pit before them was now filled to the brim, having transformed into the Divine Martial Blood Pool.
"You may now enter the Divine Martial Blood Pool. Begin!" Seeing the crimson vortex dissipate, the Divine Martial Elder’s voice boomed.
"Remember, inside the Divine Martial Blood Pool, the deeper you go, the more powerful the Energy. You should try to dive as deep as possible, but do not, under any circumstances, exceed your limits. Otherwise, not even I will be able to save you!" the Divine Martial Elder added, his tone grave.
At his words, everyone nodded. Then, one by one, they leaped into the massive Blood Pool.
"Your lives are the top priority. Once you reach your limit, focus on absorbing the Energy. This is a rare opportunity!" Shen Haoran said quickly to Murong Wanqing and Han Xu as he moved.
Murong Wanqing and Han Xu nodded lightly in understanding.
"When you two get out of the Divine Martial Blood Pool, meet up with Sister Xiaowen and leave first. I might be in here for a while," Shen Haoran added. With a flash, he appeared at the edge of the Divine Martial Blood Pool.
’So this is the Divine Martial Blood Pool?’ A fervent glow ignited in Shen Haoran’s eyes as he stared at the massive, crimson lake. He glanced at Jian Wushuang and the others who had already submerged themselves, then, with a final leap, he plunged into the Divine Martial Blood Pool and began his descent into its depths...
