The Soul Ring formed from the blood pool is naturally less than a million years old. If we must measure it by its age, it is about 600,000 years old, which is the limit that Qi Ling's body can currently withstand.
However, although the lifespan is only 600,000 years, this is Soul Ring personally crafted by the Blood Devil Emperor, so its quality is naturally immeasurable, which is why it exhibits such an unusual phenomenon.
However, the energy of the Blood Pool is immense. Many of the Soul Beast and strange beasts that inhabit it are over 100,000 years old, and there are even many ancient species.
All of these were absorbed into the Blood Devil Emperor's body in one go, and after forging this ultimate Soul Ring, there was still a large amount of energy left.
"This is truly frustrating. How should I utilize this power?" the Blood Devil Emperor pondered to himself. "This body can no longer withstand any more. Adding more energy will only cause it to collapse."
"In that case, let's temporarily store these powers in his blood. When his cultivation level reaches a certain point, he can naturally activate them and make them his own."
"By the way, he can also temper this body. The Nine Revolutions True Dragon Art he cultivates, I think that's what it's called? It seems it's time to start cultivating the Sixth Stage True Dragon Body."
But as he thought of this, the Blood Devil Emperor scoffed disdainfully and continued, "Hmph, True Dragon Body, what a waste for that Old Dragon! This kid, he's not getting it!"
To everyone's Middle God, the Blood Devil Emperor was enveloped in a strange red energy, and his body shrank continuously before mysteriously hovering in mid-air.
The red energy, like a cocoon, completely enveloped him, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
Although no one knew what the Blood Devil Emperor was planning, they could sense that the storm was gradually subsiding. The Blood Devil Emperor's suffocating presence was beginning to fade, leaving only the blood cocoon in the air still radiating a chilling energy.
Even for the Blood Devil Emperor, it would be extremely difficult to further temper Qi Ling's body. Moreover, the cultivation of the Sixth Stage True Dragon Body was an extremely important process. If the Blood Devil Emperor hadn't personally intervened, Qi Ling would have had a hard time experiencing such terrifying pressure.
Even Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer struggled so much when it was being used to temper Qi Ling, let alone anyone else; no one else possessed such an ability.
A full hour later, the Blood Devil Emperor finally allowed Qi Ling to complete his final evolution. His body could be described as flawless; from a physical point of view, it was the most robust body in the world.
Although there is still a distance to go before achieving physical godhood, that is not something the Blood Devil Emperor needs to consider.
Even more importantly, with the help of the energy of the blood pool and other special elements, the Blood Devil Emperor successfully evolved the blood within Qi Ling's body, which not only greatly benefited his future cultivation but also endowed him with many miraculous effects.
For example, the thing that pleases the Blood Devil Emperor the most, and is also his favorite ability, is that anyone who voluntarily drinks Qi Ling's blood will have Qi Ling's mark imprinted deep in their soul, and will never be able to betray him!
This will be a mark deeply etched into the other person's soul. No matter how strong he becomes, he will never be able to erase this mark. On the contrary, it will only grow stronger, inspiring loyalty to Qi Ling from the bottom of one's heart.
It sounds evil, but the Blood Devil Emperor likes it.
After completing the final steps, the Blood Devil Emperor's consciousness fell back into slumber, and only heaven knows when he will awaken again.
The blood cocoon enveloping Qi Ling carried him through the air to the platform where Xiao Ye and the others were, and slowly landed in front of them.
The group surrounded the blood cocoon, but none of them knew how to deal with it, so they looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What should we do? Bai Di is trapped inside, could he suffocate?" Xiao Ye said worriedly. "Should we open it and take a look?"
"I think we should wait a bit longer. What if Brother Bai Di hasn't finished absorbing all that energy yet? That would be bad," Tang San said.
Looking at the blood cocoon before her, Hu Liena said with lingering fear, "Was that thing really the Bai Di? I've never seen such a powerful being before, not even my teacher! Could he also be some famous Titled Douluo?"
Qian Renxue looked at Hu Liena and suddenly felt a sense of shared misery. Hu Liena was the only one who still didn't know Qi Ling's identity. So this was what it felt like to be kept in the dark by everyone?
Just as everyone was discussing how to rescue Qi Ling, the blood cocoon changed on its own, suddenly transforming from a solid entity into a red mist, and then gradually disappearing into the air.
After the blood cocoon disappeared, Qi Ling appeared there, seemingly still in a daze, staring at her hands, unable to come to her senses.
" Bai Di! You're alright? That's great!" Xiao Ye rushed over to Qi Ling as soon as she saw that she was safe.
As for the others, although they were just as worried as Xiao Ye, none of them showed such exaggerated concern. This seemed to be a gesture of care unique to Xiao Ye.
"I'm fine, don't worry," Qi Ling said. "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's leave quickly. I can feel that this place is about to collapse."
As if to confirm Qi Ling's words, right after he finished speaking, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the cave, as if some walls had begun to collapse.
So the group didn't delay any longer and hurriedly ran towards the exit. Fortunately, the road was sturdy enough to support the weight of eight people without collapsing.
Because the blood pool had dried up, the final trial was no longer there; all that remained was a white light curtain.
By passing through it, Qi Ling and the others who passed through the Hell Slaughter Arena could solidify the killing intent they had acquired, thereby obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
As everyone entered the white light curtain one by one, everything around them disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already outside the Hell Road.
As expected, Tang San and Hu Liena fainted again after being bathed in the white light. Qi Ling looked helplessly at Tang San on the ground and said, "No good, Xiao San, you're really weak like this!"
At the same time, Qi Ling also sensed a new power emerging within her body, which should be the existence of the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
