At the bottom of the Tianshan Blood Pool, there is a dark red world, silent and quiet. In the very center, there is a whirlpool, which constantly swallows up the dark red matter around it, like a bottomless black hole, engulfing everything around it.

If there were someone nearby at this moment, they would find a figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the black hole.

Sky-blue flames lingered around his body, and he was supported by a green lotus. The terrifying suction force continued to engulf everything around him, transforming the tremendous energy filled with a large amount of fire poison into the purest energy and pouring it into the figure's body, nourishing his meridians and muscles.

The power contained in the dark red energy was extremely overbearing. Even though the fire poison had been purified by the fusion of the strange fire and the green lotus, the burning sensation contained in it was still unbearable.

It's like swallowing boiling water directly. You can imagine how painful it is.

However, these are obviously commonplace to Yao Yan. The last thing he lacks along the way is to endure this kind of pain. If he wants to become the strongest, pain is the lowest level of test. If he can't even bear a little pain, how can he go far on the road of cultivation?

"At this rate, after a while, we can try to break through to Dou Zong!"

Yao Yan felt the changes in his internal fighting spirit and body, and could roughly judge his current state in his mind. At this moment, he was only one step away from becoming a Dou Zong. What he lacked in the past was only the accumulation of fighting spirit, but now what he lacked has been completely made up by the Tianshan Blood Pool.

Although the speed of practicing Dou Qi can be increased by relying on external objects, one can only rely on oneself in some important stages.

For example, the hurdle from Douhuang to Douzong.

Relying on the Breaking Sect Pill, one can easily break through, but doing so will also waste an opportunity, an opportunity to comprehend the heaven and earth. The transformation from Douhuang to Douzong is a kind of transformation, and the Douzong stage is more about the perception of the power of space. Only when the power of space is controlled to a perfect degree, will one be qualified to enter the level of Douzun.

This process is different from the early stage of cultivation. The early stage of cultivation only requires the accumulation of fighting spirit, but starting from the Dou Zong level, one must begin to comprehend the power of space, or the power of heaven and earth.

After all, when one reaches the level of Fighting Saint, he can create a small world by his own strength.

This method is already divine.

Time passed slowly. Despite such a boring and painful training, Yao Yan did not feel the slightest bit annoyed. There was nothing more refreshing than feeling his strength increase...Except for matters between men and women. After all, that was not something Yao Yan could control. Men could control their thoughts and actions, but they could never control their second brother.

Even when he meets a woman he likes, he will take the initiative to make choices for men.

……

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Yao Yan still did not stop swallowing the dark red energy. It was as if his body would never be full. He allowed the tremendous energy to pour into him and merge into his limbs and bones. His aura was now more than two or three times stronger than before. Even if he did nothing, a terrifying aura emanated from his body.

As the strength in the body continued to increase, the several Dou Di bloodlines in the body began to revive further. Their revival was obviously inseparable from the nourishment of tremendous energy, and the energy of the Tianshan Blood Pool was the best tonic.

"...This energy is truly magical." Yao Yan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt a little surprised, because he felt that his soul was also being nourished by this energy and began to move towards the so-called heavenly realm.

The energy from the Tianshan Blood Pool can not only refine the body, but also refine and nourish the soul.

Even with his soul level at the peak of the spiritual realm, he could still clearly feel the tempering. In just over a month, he could clearly feel that his soul power had increased a lot, and he was one step closer to the heavenly realm.

In addition, Yao Yan also felt that his body was very "hungry" and needed huge amounts of energy to continue nourishing.

This feeling of hunger obviously comes from those imperial bloodlines.

Yao Yan was still a teenager when he merged them, and his talents improved a lot as a result, but these Dou Emperor bloodlines obviously had not been fully revived. After all, with his body at that time, it was impossible for him to withstand the power of the complete revived bloodlines of several emperors.

The power of the imperial bloodline alone, even if just activated, is enough to directly increase the strength of a fighter to a great fighter or even a fighter spirit.

Not to mention the power of several Dou Di bloodlines.

Once fully revived, Yao Yan’s strength will be enough to directly reach the level of Dou Huang or even Dou Zong.

As his strength grew, the Dou Emperor's bloodline also began to fully recover, constantly strengthening Yao Yan's Dou Qi and body. Even his soul power increased accordingly. The so-called bottleneck seemed to not exist at all. The power contained in the Dou Emperor's bloodline directly wiped out all the barriers to breakthrough, as if a broad road was right in front of him, allowing him to gallop freely.

"Perhaps when I break through to Dou Zong, I can directly devour the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. The superposition of several powers may allow my soul to directly enter the Heaven Realm!"

Yao Yan felt the transformation in his body, his mind moved slightly, and the bone spirit cold fire at his brow floated directly to his dantian, and was then wrapped by the operation circuit of the Burning Decision, which began to accelerate Yao Yan's transformation process.

At the same time, Yao Yan's mind began to immerse himself, and he began to use the power of space in his body to feel the power of this world.

Time seems to have become a decoration at this moment.

Ten days, half a month, one month, two months...

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

……

……

The outside world did not remain quiet for long. With the opening of the Tianshan Blood Pool which takes place once every three years, the Tianmu Mountains gradually became lively.

The young descendants of countless forces and families in Zhongzhou all flocked to the Tianmu Mountains. Among them were countless independent cultivators, all coming to fight for a place in the Tianshan Blood Pool, hoping to use the power of the Tianshan Blood Pool to step into the Dou Zong level.

At this moment, at the crater, two old figures stood with their hands behind their backs.

The two were naturally Jinshi and Jingu from the gold-eating rat clan. They both looked at the tranquil Tianshan Blood Pool with some numbness. The blood pool, which should have been overflowing with the opening of the Tianshan Blood Pool once every three years, was now dry, as if there was some gluttonous creature underneath, swallowing up all the accumulated energy, causing the Tianshan Blood Pool, which should have been overflowing, to become dry.

"What kind of monster is this kid?" Jin Shi couldn't help but say.

The accumulated energy at the bottom was enough to make Jin Shi have ideas about Dou Zun, but now that energy seemed unable to satisfy that kid, and even caused the Tianshan Blood Pool above, which was supposed to be enjoyed by ten people, to suffer.

"I don't understand... But this matter has become troublesome. The Tianshan Blood Pool is about to open, but something unexpected has happened this time. Perhaps we can't even give three places. How can we explain to those people outside?" Jin Gu shook his head. He didn't understand what Yao Yan was doing, but he knew how much trouble the disaster of the Tianshan Blood Pool would bring to the Gold-Eating Rat Clan.

The Tianshan Blood Pool seemed to be controlled by the Gold Devouring Rat Clan, but in fact they were just a group of guards. Its openness was also due to the consensus reached by many external forces. The so-called two quotas were just the guard fee given to the Gold Devouring Rat Clan. Once a problem occurred in a certain session, the Gold Devouring Rat Clan would have to give a reasonable answer, otherwise those families and forces would never give up.

After all, the Gold-Eating Rat Clan does not have a Dou Zun in charge, and those powerful families and forces in the outside world do not take the Gold-Eating Rat Clan seriously.

The weak never have a say.

"Let Venerable Feng come forward. We have no say in this matter. Let him negotiate." Jin Shi frowned and said in a deep voice.

"That's all it can do."

Jingu nodded, and then looked at the still calm pool of blood. He felt inexplicably frightened. The gold-eating rat clan had a very keen sense of energy, so he could roughly feel the growing aura and terrifying vitality below, as if some ancient beast was lurking in it.

It is hard to imagine that a human being can possess such tremendous vitality, as if his life level is superior to everyone else.

"Do you think he is also from that clan?" Jin Gu suddenly thought of something and spoke.

"Medicine clan?"

Jin Shi's eyes narrowed slightly and he spoke in a deep voice.

As the most well-informed Gold-Eating Rat Clan, they were naturally familiar with the several major imperial clans. Among them, the Medicine Clan had the most contacts with the outside world, so they were naturally familiar with it. They had also heard of the relationship between Yao Lao and the Medicine Clan. Considering that Yao Yan was Yao Lao's descendant, everything seemed to make sense.

It is not hard to imagine if the people of that clan have such a terrifying background. After all, the bloodline of the Dou Emperor never follows reason and is born strong. It is also an important factor for the major imperial clans to maintain their transcendent status.

"Forget it, just do us a favor. Even if we are sucked dry by that kid, we can only accept it with a pinch of our nose." Jin Shi pondered for a moment and said helplessly.

Judging from the current water level of the blood pool, if Yu Yan continues to absorb it for a year or two, it will probably reach the bottom.

But it is obviously impossible to stop it now.

Whether it is Medicine Venerable or Wind Venerable who is being watched by the outside world, they are not beings that they can afford to provoke. There is a saying called sunk cost. The loss is already so huge, so a little more won't make a difference.

As the two were talking, the Tianshan Blood Pool, which had been calm for a long time, finally reacted.

"boom!"

A violent roar resounded from the depths of the blood pool. The next moment, the tranquil Tianshan Blood Pool suddenly shook violently. At the same time, the temperature of the entire world began to soar. The energy tide condensed above the crater also began to vibrate, exuding a misty air, and rushed down to the crater like a waterfall.

"What's going on? He's not going to make a breakthrough!" Jin Gu swallowed and said in surprise.

Although the Tianshan Blood Pool has the ability to help people break through to the Dou Zong level, it has never been able to help people break through on the spot. Most people need to settle down for a while before trying to break through. This is the first time someone has broken through on the spot like Yao Yan did.

"This kid is really not afraid of any accidents!" Jin Shi couldn't help but say.

It is not easy for a Dou Huang to break through to a Dou Zong. There are many risks involved. Once the breakthrough fails, at best the cultivation level will regress, at worst the person may be seriously injured and on the verge of death. It is not possible to break through just by saying so. Only young people dare to be so brave.

At the moment when the two of them finished speaking.

The energy tide descending from the sky began to spread out in all directions, and its affected area actually directly covered the entire Tianmu Mountains. At the same time, the central position appeared in a vortex shape, and the majestic energy continued to converge towards the center.

From afar, the entire Tianmu Mountains were enveloped by this strange phenomenon, and the colorful and violent energy completely dispelled the thick fog that usually covered the mountains.

That scene was quite shocking.

Such a sudden change naturally attracted the attention of the entire gold-eating rat clan. Countless astonished eyes looked over, looking at the violent energy in the sky that seemed to be tangible. The faint energy pressure made many weaker gold-eating rats feel frightened.

At the same time, many young descendants from various forces who arrived here first were looking at this scene in doubt and surprise, all with shocked expressions on their faces.

Within a thousand miles, many Dou Zong masters sensed something and looked towards the direction of the Tianmu Mountains.

"Is someone going to break through to Dou Zong again? This direction is the Tianmu Mountains... but the Tianshan Blood Pool should still be open for some time. Could it be that a strong man from the Gold Devouring Rat Clan has broken through? What good luck."

"The Tianshan Blood Pool, such an opportunity can only benefit a group of demon beasts. It's a pity that if my sect can occupy it... well, I should send more disciples."

"The strength of the Gold-Eating Rat Clan is going to increase again. This is really enviable."

……

Reactions from the outside world varied, with many young people in the Tianmu Mountains showing envy and yearning.

Venerable Feng appeared in the sky from nowhere, overlooking the Tianmu Mountains in the distance. Feeling the ever-increasing aura, his eyes showed some strange colors, and he whispered to himself: "What is this kid going to do?!"

At this moment, the aura transmitted from the depths of the Tianshan Blood Pool has surpassed that of a three-star Dou Zong, and is still advancing towards a four-star at an extremely terrifying speed. This speed of advancement is simply unheard of. Isn't Yao Yan worried about bursting himself? !
Who plays like this when breaking through to Dou Zong? !
He looked hesitant as he considered whether or not to go and stop him. With his strength increasing so much, he was really worried that Yao Yan would not be able to control it and would explode and die.

But thinking of his old friend's praise for him, it was obvious that Yao Yan was not the kind of person who didn't know his limits. Venerable Feng could only suppress his temper, clenched his fists, and thought to himself: "Forget it, with that old fellow Yao Chen's alchemy skills, even if this kid really blew up his body, he can still be saved."

Compared to Master Feng's gradual calmness, Jin Shi and Jingu felt a little uneasy. They could clearly feel the pressure at the life level, and that sense of oppression was not just at the fighting spirit level.

"Is this kid really just a Dou Zong breakthrough?!" Jin Gu suppressed his fear and asked Jin Shi beside him.

“I don’t understand… the aura at this moment is almost reaching the level of four-star Dou Zong… it has already surpassed that!” There was a look of fear in Jin Shi’s eyes. No wonder Yao Yan stayed in the depths of the blood pool for so long and even absorbed most of the energy therein. How could the other party break through to Dou Zong? He was obviously heading for Dou Zun!

This kid wouldn't really be planning on breaking through to the Dou Zun level in one go!

What kind of a ghost story is this! (End of this chapter)
