After so contemplation, he approached the Stele and placed his hand on its surface. In an instant, a sacred feeling seed to spread from him, filling the entire world.
It was as though the world had sohow beco a part of him...
At that mont, the ocean of blood began to see, desert sands floated into the air, the sky trembled, and the land shook. Plants, mountains, everything in the world began to fill with joy, praise, and worship!
As they acknowledged allegiance to Yan Xiaobao standing on the mountain, the Blood Beasts roared.
Jia Lie had survived throughout his life, trembling as he looked up at Yan Xiaobao, knowing he would never forget this experience or the image of Nightcrypt standing there like the Emperor of the world! It was Jia Lie’s first ti serving as a Dharma Protector during the Fire Punishnt Trial for the Bloodline Master. Therefore, he was completely unaware of what others involved in the trial might have encountered when entering the world.
However, he firmly believed his experience was entirely different from anyone else’s. In fact, he had a feeling that from ancient tis to the present, in all the Fire Punishnt Trials of the Bloody Sect, no one had done what Nightcrypt had done.
He had no way to confirm whether his theory was correct, but as he looked around at the world trembling and pouring all life into the worship of Yan Xiaobao, he impulsively followed.
Yan Xiaobao stood atop the mountain, suddenly overwheld by a strange feeling, the thought that he could destroy the entire world.
At this mont, his "immortality technique" was fully engaged, and monts later, he realized there were whispers in his ears.
"Co... co... co..."
Snapped out of his reverie, his eyes were sparkling, and he took a deep breath. Then he pulled his hand away from the Stele. All things in the world began to shine with a bright, bloody aura, which shot toward Yan Xiaobao surrounding him.
The deep red light transford into a door, opening slowly right in front of him.
He hesitated, glancing at the door, realizing that if he stepped through it, he would be able to enter the second stage. He looked around again, stepped forward, and vanished into the bloody glow.
In so unknown location within the Blood Ancestor, there was an open space seemingly without beginning or end, as quiet as death. Visible were countless cone-shaped pillars rising from the darkness below.
Atop each pillar was a platform.
Two of these platforms stood much higher than the others, yet not far apart. One belonged to Xue i, the other to Song Junwan. Both sat cross-legged, gazing at each other.
They had been sitting there for under two hours. Since each of them possessed a Command dal, they did not need the Blood Ancestor’s recognition like the Dharma Protectors. They had directly arrived in this place to wait.
In the Endless Blood World, the way ti passed varied. In the two hours that passed for Xue i and Song Junwan, an entire month went by.
According to their analysis of these two won, they would need to wait a few more hours before any Dharma Protector might appear. Regardless, until both won used their Command Badges to open the trial, the second stage of the Fire Punishnt Trial would not begin. They were unwilling to do so without considering all their Dharma Protectors.
They had been exchanging barbed remarks, and after a short pause, Xue i resud the conversation. She coldly smiled and said, "Song Junwan, considering your age, why compete with for the Bloodline Master position? Couldn’t the Song Family find soone better, forced to let an old woman defend their cause, is that really the case?"
Song Junwan frowned, about to respond suddenly, her expression fluctuated as she looked up at the sky. Xue i also lifted her head, her pupils contracting.
As the shape of a massive door slowly ford, rumbling sounds echoed.
"Soone is about to receive the world’s acknowledgnt!?" Xue i thought. "Only two hours! About a month in the Endless Blood World!" Xue i’s eyes widened, filled with shock. She was very familiar with how the Blood Master Trials conducted through fire worked. Allegedly, the fastest ti a Dharma Protector had obtained approval in the past was three hours, inside was one and a half months.
"Who could it be?" Song Junwan pondered, equally shaken. "Who overca another Dharma Protector in the Endless Blood World, dealt with countless Blood Beasts, and still managed to receive World Will’s acknowledgnt? For soone to complete the battle this quickly must have been intense!"
Whoever it was, if they ultimately beca one of her Dharma Protectors, she would clearly be thrilled. However, if it were one of Xue i’s Dharma Protectors, it would be a significant obstacle in her attempt to win the Bloodline Master position.
After ntally reviewing all her Dharma Protectors, she couldn’t think of anyone capable of achieving such a feat. Hence, her expression began to darken.
However, Xue i had the sa reaction. When she reviewed her list of Dharma Protectors, she wasn’t sure any of them could accomplish that either. Together with Song Junwan, she gazed at the phantasmal door.
A mont later, a blurry figure appeared within the door. It only took the two won a few breaths to realize who it was, and they were both astonished.
"Nightcrypt!!"
"Nightcrypt!!"
Xue i’s eyes glead with killing intent, her heart trembling with shock. She couldn’t imagine how Nightcrypt had managed to gain the world’s recognition so swiftly.
After the initial shock, Song Junwan’s heart swelled with joy, and her beautiful eyes stuck to Yan Xiaobao.
Yan Xiaobao erged through the door for the first ti, his vision swimming, unable to see clearly. However, this only lasted for a mont, and then he saw the nurous platforms surrounding him, along with Xue i and Song Junwan.
"Young brother Nightcrypt, co over," Song Junwan said with a smile. Her voice was filled with gentleness and delight.
Xue i coldly snorted, clenched her fists tightly.
Yan Xiaobao blinked and then walked over to Song Junwan. As he landed on the platform, he moved to her side.
"Hmm... am I the first?" he curiously asked.
"You certainly are," Song Junwan laughed. "How did you do it? Who was your opponent?"
To Yan Xiaobao, her smile seed to rely expose her inner worries. Yet, he did not allow himself to show his true feelings. He raised his chin, clasped his hands behind his back, and tried to look as proud and murderous as possible.
"Oh, it was simple," he said calmly and deeply. "I just walked across the world. As for my opponent, I never asked his na." From his wording and posture, he appeared entirely proud and aloof. Regarding how he referred to the "Endless Blood World" as "simple," both Xue i and Song Junwan could envision him summoning his blood sword and striding across the world.
He might have ignored countless aggressive Blood Beasts, perhaps not even bothering to glance at the world around him, as he slaughtered recklessly to gain World Will’s acknowledgnt.
Before, Song Junwan’s eyes shone even brighter when she looked at Yan Xiaobao, and as for Xue i, she couldn’t help but stare at him. Monts later, both won realized he wasn’t injured at all, and their expressions fluctuated.
Just as Song Junwan was about to ask, Yan Xiaobao lightly brushed his sleeve and calmly said, "I’m tired. Let know when the second stage begins." He stepped aside, sat cross-legged, looking proud like a solitary pine on a mountain top. When he closed his eyes, his cold, cruel face and fierce aura stopped Song Junwan’s words in her throat.
Yan Xiaobao laughed inside, feeling extrely proud of himself. To him, he was utterly outstanding, clearly superior to everyone else.
He thought, "Wait, I need to do sothing to make it look more real." With that, he slowly lifted his head, gazing into the distance, eyes filled with lancholy and introspection.
Though they weren’t sure what it precisely ant, Song Junwan and Xue i were even more shaken.
Ti flew by. Two hours later, the air above began to ripple and twist again, and the door appeared once more. A person who looked burly, dangerous in appearance, seed to hold their breath as they entered the open space. As soon as Xue i saw him, she laughed. The burly man clenched his fists, greeted her with a bow, then stepped onto her platform and sat down beside her. When he saw Yan Xiaobao on another platform, his heart was filled with shock.
He had thought he would be the first to appear and had never imagined Nightcrypt would be quicker.
