Heavenly Eye Blood Pool (First Update)

The Tian Mu Mountain Range are quite famous throughout the Northern Region of the Central Plains, and the Heavenly Eye Blood Pool, which opens every three years, is the main reason for its widespread fame.

In the Central Continent, Dou Sheng are rare and elusive, Dou Zun are powerful figures but few in number, and only Dou Zong are a relatively common level of strong individuals.

The Heavenly Eye Blood Pool provided Dou Emperor with such an opportunity to break through to Dou Zong, but Xiao Yan arrived too early this time. There weren't many troubles in the Northwest Continent, and the spatial passage didn't have any problems. He arrived in the Central Continent smoothly all the way. The Heavenly Eye Blood Pool would not open for at least another six months.

Ye Zhong's original intention was for Xiao Yan to use these six months to break through from Seven Star Dou Emperor to Nine-Star Dou Emperor, just in time for the opening of the Heavenly Eye Blood Pool.

However, Xiao Yan's focus was not on the Heavenly Eye Blood Pool, but on something else entirely.

Xiao Yan vaguely remembered that the so-called Heavenly Eye Blood Pool was actually a small pool formed by the accumulation of Energy Tide in the crater. It used Energy Tide to gather the World Energy from the entire Tian Mu Mountain Range, and it turned blood red because it was combined with the Fire Toxin from the volcano.

The Fire Toxin and energy are completely intertwined, so everyone who cultivates by using the blood pool will be infected with the Fire Toxin. Even the strongest among the Gold Devouring Rat, a High-Level Dou Zong, cannot resist the erosion of the Fire Toxin.

So the question is, what might be at the bottom of this crater?

Xiao Yan couldn't think of any other possibility besides Heavenly Flames that could corrode Dou Zong Fire Toxin.

Of course, Xiao Yan's main purpose for this trip was to break through to the Dou Zong. As for the possible existence of the Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan only prepared an Eighth Grade Pill, the Obstacle Clearing Vein Protecting Pill, and the Ice Spirit Cold Marrow.

Stepping into the misty Tian Mu Mountain Range, Xiao Yan suddenly released a massive amount of Soul Power, recklessly scanning every corner of the mountains.

The two Dou Zong powerhouses of the Gold Devouring Rat Clan were instantly alarmed. Due to the terrain of the Tian Mu Mountain Range, Dou Zun could not enter, but their aura was in no way weaker than that of Dou Zun!

"Jin Gu, you take the people and retreat first. I'll go and hold them off!"

"Jin Shi, you are already afflicted with Fire Toxin..."

"Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well sacrifice this old life to make a difference!"

After saying that, Jin Shi didn't give Jin Gu a chance to refute him. He soared into the sky and arrived at the source of that aura, Xiao Yan, in just a few breaths.

To Jin Shi's surprise, Xiao Yan's aura didn't seem strong, only around the level of Seven Star Dou Emperor.

When Xiao Yan saw a Dou Zong arrive, he flicked his finger, and a jade Jade Bottle containing Sect Breaking Pill flew through the air and landed directly in his hand.

Jin Shi grabbed the Jade Bottle, opened it, and took a sniff. He felt a bit overwhelmed – what was I doing here just now?

"I came for the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool. I know it's not open yet, but I'm going to the inside of the volcano, not the blood pool."

"You..."

Xiao Yan's body trembled, and terrifying flames instantly enveloped his entire body as he interrupted, saying, "I am an Eighth Grade Alchemist, and I have also refined Heavenly Flames. The inside of the volcano is the most suitable environment for my breakthrough."

"I..."

"You have been Fire Toxin, which has penetrated deep into your bones. Ordinary methods cannot solve this problem. However, I can refine a Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill for you. If you break through and rebuild, you may be able to break through to the Eighth Rank."

"This..."

"This is the pill formula, as well as my Soul Communication. You can contact me after you break through to the Dou Zun. Now, lead the way."

Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and two streams of light flew out. One of them struck Jin Shi's forehead directly, containing the formula for the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill. The other fell into Jin Shi's hand; it was Jade Slip used for Soul Communication.

Jin Shi one hand holding the Sect Breaking Pill and the other a jade Jade Slip, Jin Shi, at a loss, forced a smile and said, "Please follow me."

Jin Shi made the right judgment by following his body's instincts and brought Xiao Yan to the crater.

"Master, my Gold Devouring Rat Clan has spent a great deal of effort to explore downwards, but we still haven't been able to truly penetrate deep into the volcano's crater. Your cultivation level..."

Before Jin Shi could finish speaking, he saw a golden figure appear beside Xiao Yan. Although it had no life force, its terrifying power was enough to kill him with a single punch.

"Master, there is Space Barrier below. This item can be used to open it." Jin Shi said respectfully, holding a dark gold-colored Gold Devouring Rat Skull.

Xiao Yan picked up the skull, put away the Heavenly Demon Puppet, spread his Heavenly Phoenix Wings, and with a gentle shake, swooped into the volcano crater where little water had yet accumulated.

"The Heavenly Demon Phoenix..." Jin Shi sniffed, deciding to forget this memory.

After plunging into the pool of blood, Xiao Yan realized that the crimson liquid was quite extraordinary.

Not only were their vision and movement restricted, but even their Soul Power could hardly penetrate these blood-red liquids.

Even though Xiao Yan is now Spirit Realm Soul, he still cannot break through the barrier of these liquids and can only vaguely sense that there is a barrier below.

"Truly extraordinary..."

Muttering something, Xiao Yan flapped his Heavenly Phoenix Wings, slicing through the blood-red liquid, and rushed straight towards the Space Barrier deep within.

After diving for a few minutes, the dark golden skull in Xiao Yan's hand gradually became hot, and a little light then emanated from it.

Xiao Yan hovered his body, gazing down at the space below, where the space seemed to be slightly distorted, and the red liquid was also being separated.

Xiao Yan summoned Heavenly Flames to envelop his entire body, then raised the dark golden skull in his hand, came to the invisible Space Barrier, and gently pressed it down.

The skull suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, and the Space Barrier rippled, opening a hole large enough for one person to pass through.

Xiao Yan put away the skull, stepped across the cave entrance, and instantly felt an extremely powerful pressure around him, as if he had fallen into water, and the resistance he experienced was several times, even ten times, stronger.

This area, sealed off by the Space Barrier, is not very large, only about ten feet on each side, but the energy accumulated here over time is far greater than that of the entire blood pool above.

However, the viscous, blood-red liquid here contains a rather dense concentration of dark gray light spots.

These points of light faintly emitted a fishy odor and revealed a hot, acrid atmosphere.

However, they were no match for the flames on Xiao Yan's body. They couldn't even touch the sky-blue flames themselves before being dispersed by the nine-colored halo.

"It's a pity that Dou Zun expert can't enter here, otherwise it would be more appropriate to let Xiao Yi Xian come here for seclusion."

After making a remark, Xiao Yan looked down.

It was a crater full of grooves, from which gray smoke was constantly billowing out. This smoke was the real source of the Fire Toxin.

"Let's break through to the Peak Dou Emperor first!"

Xiao Yan took out an Imperial Pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and then immersed his mind in the Heavenly Flames, driving the Nine-Colored Flame to frantically devour the surrounding blood-red energy.
