He Was Practicing a Secret Technique

"I want to repeat myself: if you can't hold on, never force yourself to."

Blood Axe King looked at Jiang Yao, Naluo, and other geniuses from the Core Layer the five major forces, his expression cold and solemn. "I'm not joking, especially you. You are not from my Luoxiao Race, nor are you from the Prison Race. Exceeding the limit will result in both your body and soul melting into the Blood Pool, becoming part of the Altar Blood Pool."

Jiang Yao and the others felt a chill run down their spines.

"Good heavens, isn't this even more dangerous than fusing with Xueluo Crystal? If Xueluo Crystal fusion fails, the energy will flow back and revert back to the original crystal."

The Dragon Eagle King's gaze swept over all the trial participants, and he shouted, "Go down!"

The Altar Blood Pool is shaped like the number 8, divided into two pools, one large and one small. More than 1,700 cosmic-level geniuses, including Jiang Yao, entered the small pool, while 10,000 Luoxiao Race Star Realm geniuses, including Chiling clone, entered the large pool.

It's called the Altar Blood Pool, but it's actually more like a lake, extremely vast, and doesn't feel crowded at all.

As soon as Jiang Yao sank into the Blood Pool, it was as if he had entered another space, like returning to the womb, comfortable and quiet, dark and peaceful.

His entire body was pitch black, even his will was shrouded in darkness!

A sinister, Dark Energy seeped into Jiang Yao's body, attempting to distort his mind and will.

In a daze, I could still perceive endless consciousness, as if it were fragments of consciousness from billions of lives.

These endless streams of consciousness, enveloped in eerie Dark Energy, constantly communicated with Jiang Yao's consciousness.

"Come join us..."

Join us...

"This is eternal bliss..."

Jiang Yao's will was as firm as iron; he was not swayed and instead gained a lot of information from these ideas.

"They're from the Crystal Race? And the Monster Race too?"

He couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. Many of these endless consciousnesses seemed to come from ancient powerful beings. Jiang Yao could even see many illusions, many of which originated from the Crystal Race.

In addition, the younger fragments of consciousness were mostly from the Monster Race, and even included the consciousness of many powerful members of the Monster Race royal family, such as the Thousand-Foot Centipede, the Ziqian Myriad Snake, and the Fear Gold Hou.

Could it be that the energy of the Altar Blood Pool actually originates from these Crystal Race and Monster Race life forms?

However, Jiang Yao quickly forgot about the source of the Blood Pool's energy. The eerie and silent Dark Energy, carrying endless fragments of consciousness, assaulted his will. Just like Bizhang's ferocious ego consciousness before, while impacting Jiang Yao's consciousness, this strange Dark Energy also permeated every cell of his body.

He felt his body's cells being constantly reconstructed and strengthened under the nourishment of this Dark Energy, as if they were evolving into some kind of strange life form.

At the same time, Chiling clone was only at the star level, also entered the Altar Blood Pool. However, unlike Jiang Yao's main body, it seemed that because his body was from the Luoxiao Race, the Dark Energy in the Blood Pool did not contain the will of the billions of consciousness fragments that were impacting Chiling.

Instead, as endless Dark Energy surged into his body, an evil Killing Will from the depths of darkness emerged from that Dark Energy.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

This extremely powerful killing intent crashed against the will of Chiling clone like a tsunami, while Chiling's consciousness stood firm like an eternal lighthouse against the impact of the tsunami.

Seeing this, Jiang Yao no longer worried about Chiling clone.

In terms of willpower, the will of the Desolate God is stronger than that of the original body, even though Jiang Yao's original body's will had just undergone a qualitative transformation on the Stone Stairs.

If it's truly just a test of willpower, Chiling clone is the least of our worries.

The one who should be worried is Jiang Yao himself.

Seemingly realizing that they could not sway Jiang Yao's will, billions of fragments of consciousness surged into every cell of Jiang Yao's body along with the Dark Energy.

Furthermore, these fragments of consciousness continued to grow stronger under the nourishment of Dark Energy.

At this moment, Jiang Yao seemed to have developed schizophrenia, transforming into billions of individuals, each cell seemingly coming to life, all shouting for freedom and to merge into the eternal Blood Pool.

Fortunately, Jiang Yao's will was still intact. If before breaking through the Stone Stairs, his will and consciousness were like the interior of a star, pure, refined, and dense, then after 45 transformations, his will and consciousness had been compressed to the level of a neutron star.

But the danger is that the Dark Energy that was originally strengthening his body has begun to nourish the fragments of consciousness scattered throughout his billions of cells. These fragments of consciousness are growing rapidly, and if this continues, it won't be long before every cell in his body disintegrates and merges into the Blood Pool.

"Sigh, as expected, I still can't improve my Gene Level."

Jiang Yao was somewhat disappointed. It was precisely because these Dark Energy could no longer improve his Gene Level, after strengthening his physical body, they had no use for them. That's why he turned to nourishing the fragments of consciousness.

Bajie in the Taihuan Token sneered, "Your current physical genes are already 53 times stronger, while the physical genes of most beings in the Prison Race are less than 10 times stronger. If this Blood Pool could continue to improve on top of 53 times, how could it have fallen into the hands of the Luoxiao Race's God Emperor? Even if your Human Race obtained it, it would have long been a supreme treasure, not something left in this Nine Star Sea?"

Jiang Yao frowned as he watched the billions of fragments of consciousness rapidly grow stronger under the nourishment of the Dark Energy that had no place to use their powers. "Could it be that this Altar Blood Pool is useless to me except for elevating me to the Domain Lord?"

Many cosmic-level geniuses from the Core Layer the five major powers come to the Nine Star Sea to receive the Sacred Altar Baptism and directly break through to the Domain Lord in the Altar Blood Pool, advancing to the Domain Lord Ninth Stage.

Of course, the Nutrient Pod can also elevate them to the Domain Lord Ninth Stage, but the Dark Energy in the Altar Blood Pool can also strengthen their bodies, even reconstruct new body structures, making them new life forms that surpass ordinary humans, and enhance their body genes.

Jiang Yao's body is no longer human, and his genes are very advanced. Moreover, he hasn't even conquered the Cosmic-level Heaven-Reaching Mountain yet, which costs 100 million points. Using the Altar Blood Pool as Nutrient Pod just to advance to the Domain Lord Ninth Stage would be a huge waste.

"You've forgotten the Zhenhuang Sacred Body?" Bajie chuckled. "According to the immortals of the Luoxiao Race, this Altar Blood Pool can transform and elevate the flesh and blood of the Prison Race. This Dark Energy must be an extremely refined and powerful life energy, albeit one born from the Prison Race. As fellow flesh and blood beings, since it can strengthen your body and even elevate the Gene Level of humans, it must be useful to humans as well. It might even be able to replace the Fragrant Dragon Crystal needed for the third level of the Zhenhuang Sacred Body."

"That's right." Jiang Yao exclaimed with delight, "That Fragrant Dragon Crystal is worth 3.1 million points, and in essence, it is also a very high-level life energy."

He immediately activated the secret technique of the third level of the "Zhenhuang Sacred Body," transforming into a vortex to absorb the useless Dark Energy within his body.

Every cell in the body is undergoing a slow transformation under the guidance of the secret method and nourished by Dark Energy.

"It really works!"

He had already raised the "Eye of Zhenhuang" to the fourth level on the Stone Stairs, reaching a level with 16 times the Soul Amplitude.

However, improving the "Zhenhuang Sacred Body" is far more difficult than improving the "Eye of Zhenhuang" because it requires a large amount of resources.

Even his teacher, Marquis Huanqiong Kasolo, only had the third level of the "Zhenhuang Sacred Body" at the level of 8 times the Body Amplitude. This was already quite impressive. Most of the King-level Immortal had not cultivated the Divine Body Amplitude Secret Technique, and even if they had, it would have been difficult to reach the level of 8 times.

Under his guidance, a massive amount of Dark Energy was channeled into the cultivation of the third level of the "Zhenhuang Sacred Body".

Altar Blood Pool, the Dragon Eagle King and the Blood Axe King closely watched the trial participants Blood Pool.

In the large pool, one after another, the Luoxiao Race geniuses who had differentiated into superior bloodlines climbed ashore, exhausted.

Of the tens of thousands of Luoxiao Race geniuses, more than half have already left the Blood Pool.

As time goes by, the Killing Will within the Blood Pool that assaults the Luoxiao Race geniuses will grow stronger and stronger, causing them unbearable pain. Once it exceeds their limit of endurance, these Luoxiao Race geniuses will leave the Blood Pool.

Blood Axe King frowned. "My Luoxiao Race can be considered half a Prison Race. The Dark Energy in the Blood Pool is extremely compatible with the Luoxiao Race's bodies, directly enhancing their Gene Level. Those who reach twice the divine body gene level are elite bloodlines, those who reach four to seven times the physical gene level are royal bloodlines, and those who reach twelve times the physical gene level are Imperial Race. It seems that the will of this batch of geniuses is generally weak, and I'm afraid that no more than a hundred people can differentiate into Royal Bloodline."

Of the ten thousand Luoxiao Race Star Realm geniuses, only one percent can become royalty. In Blood Axe King's view, this batch is indeed somewhat weak.

Normally, the proportion of those who can differentiate into Royal Bloodline should be between 1% and 2%. If a Luoxiao Race who has undergone Sacred Altar Baptism can give birth to 200 royal bloodlines, that would be considered a very outstanding generation.

As for the Imperial Race, it goes without saying that only one might be born from a hundred Sacred Altar openings. Blood Axe King did not expect that Imperial Bloodline would be born in the generation he presided over.

At this moment, in a smaller Blood Pool, a genius from the Universe Galaxy Bank suddenly exploded and merged into the Blood Pool.

"Idiot!"

Dragon Eagle King frowned. "I warned them long ago, but they were still blinded by greed."

Every time the Sacred Altar opens, there are people who are captivated by the pleasure of their enhanced physical genes, become excessively greedy, and are overwhelmed by the billions of fragments of consciousness in the Blood Pool, merging into the Blood Pool.

He scanned the area with his mental power and discovered that the geniuses from the Core Layer of the five major forces who were still in the Blood Pool had basically all emitted the aura of Domain Lord. The geniuses who did not intend to advance to the Domain Lord level had also left the Blood Pool, ended their baptism, and were all feeling the transformation that had occurred in their bodies.

Blood Axe King asked with some surprise, "This Jiang Yao hasn't advanced to the Domain Lord level? Is he improving his physical genes?"

Dragon Eagle King shook his head. "He only recently became a Universe-level cultivator, and all the Domain Lord- level members of the Virtual Universe Company are being sent out to other areas, making it impossible for them to take on cultivation missions anymore. I guess he doesn't want to advance to Domain Lord at this time."

Suddenly, the Dragon Eagle King exclaimed in surprise.

In the smaller Blood Pool, a vortex appeared centered on Jiang Yao, and the Blood Pool's energy was being continuously sucked away by the vortex!

"He's... he's practicing a secret technique?!" The Dragon Eagle King exclaimed in astonishment after probing with his divine power.

The commotion within the Blood Pool also drew the attention of all the Luoxiao Race and geniuses from the five major powers on the shore, who all exclaimed in surprise.

Blood Axe King's face twitched, somewhat speechless.

"He's practically the first person to cultivate secret physical techniques during the Sacred Altar Baptism."

The vast majority of geniuses who undergo the baptism have to contend with those billions of fragments of consciousness. It is already difficult enough for them not to be bewitched. The Core Layer geniuses from the five major forces cannot even spare their consciousness to guide the Blood Pool energy to precisely transform their bodies, let alone cultivate secret techniques related to the body.
