670 Nascent Soul! (2/2)

This is a rare opportunity! Wang Baole took a deep breath. He wasn't a clean freak, and he wasn't bothered by the smell of blood or how the blood lake was formed. Even clean freaks would find it difficult to refuse this chance at achieving a breakthrough. An instinctive hunger began to unfurl inside Wang Baole as he gazed at the blood lake.

It was like how parched earth would hunger for rain. That was how Wang Baole felt at the moment. He only thought for a brief moment before his eyes flashed, and he dashed towards the lake.

He approached the lake and, without hesitation, crossed his legs and lowered himself, sinking to the bottom of the lake.

An unimaginable Blood Qi erupted from the lake and charged towards Wang Baole as soon as he came into contact with the water!

It seemed as if the Blood Qi had been waiting in the lake for numerous years. It had reached a certain fullness, and Wang Baole's appearance presented it with an outlet. An overwhelming, tumultuous Blood Qi rushed into Wang Baole instantly, breaking into his body mercilessly and drilling madly into his every pore.

Wang Baole almost cried out. He felt as if flesh blood was drilling into his body, and as if countless iron needles were stabbing him. He shuddered violently as Blood Qi rushed crazily through his body, intensifying the pain. He started to feel as if something was trying to tear him apart from the inside. His body seemed on the verge of explosion.

Blood Qi was unlike Spirit Qi. It did nothing for his cultivation. It was only meant to nourish his physical flesh. Wang Baole couldn't tell if he was delusional, but amidst the pain, he could feel his body strengthening after having seen no improvement for so long!

He was right, his physical body was becoming stronger. As Blood Qi continued to make its way inside him, his body continued to be torn apart. His meridians, bones, and internal organs were all ripped apart!

Upon closer look, one would see his blood, flesh, and bone disintegrating, inch by inch, as Blood Qi continued to drill inside him. They then reformed instantly as they were nourished by the Blood Qi!

There was no way this didn't hurt!

No matter how stubbornly resilient Wang Baole was, he was currently in so much agony that he could pass out at any moment. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay awake. He was able to do that since he had been knocked out multiple times and was now used to it. Else, he would have long lost consciousness.

He wasn't sure if the trial would end upon his losing consciousness, but he didn't want to bet on that not happening. That was why he was going to try his best to keep himself awake!

The pain grew stronger. The sensation of his body being torn apart, and the deafening thunder that accompanied the sensation, were secondary to the pain. In fact, he soon found himself facing a more unbearable trial.

As his physical body grew stronger, the remnant thoughts of the dead that had remained in the lake—their madness and their resentment—erupted inside Wang Baole's head as he continued draining the Blood Qi!

The pained howls of countless beasts lashed out inside Wang Baole's mind as he struggled with his pain. Those beasts and Never-Ending Clan members seemed to have taken him over. He was experiencing the madness, grief, and fury they had felt in their last moments!

These remnant thoughts lashed out at Wang Baole, forcing him to lose his sense of self momentarily. He became a huge dragon, and his throat was slit open. Then he was some other beast, whose throat was also sliced open. He could feel himself transforming into these beasts and Never-Ending Clan cultivators.

It felt like he was experiencing death repeatedly. He couldn't tell how many times he had died.

He finally couldn't take it any longer. He passed out. That finally signaled the end!

The instant he lost consciousness… his physical body began to exude a strange scent while laying in the pool of blood. It suddenly broke through and unleashed… an incredible power that far surpassed that of an ordinary Nascent Soul realm cultivator!

His physical body had reached the Nascent Soul realm!
