The continuous "bang bang bang" sounds quickly rang out at the foot of the ice peak, but most of the noise was absorbed by the surrounding thick fog, not spreading very far.
In just a moment, a passage over a hundred zhang long was chiseled out under the ice peak.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng stood behind a thin transparent ice layer, eyes tightly closed, "watching" the eerie blood pool two zhang away, with his internal agitation growing stronger and an inexplicable, intense thirst rising instinctively.
He forcibly suppressed the instinctive impulse, slowly sat down cross-legged, and his entire body shone with a faint divine light. A vast array of willpower's brilliance passed through the ice layer in front of him, quietly touching the red light in the void.
Initially, the brilliance of willpower and the red light had no reaction, but as he continuously adjusted the "oscillation frequency" of his original spirit's sense.
The blood pool began to show a slight change, with the mist surging above transforming into droplets of blood essence, suspended in the air, glistening like the finest rubies.
The blood pool below also began to "gurgle gurgle," bubbling with fist-sized bubbles.
Meanwhile, the flesh and bone tree seemed to be activated, suddenly rising bit by bit from the "water's surface," as countless white bone branches slowly stretched out, rapidly growing layers of flesh on the surface.
In just over ten breaths, the white bone tree was already draped with dense flesh, a myriad of flesh "tentacles" hanging down from above, with their tips probing into the swirling viscous blood.
Zhao Sheng had always harbored a guard against the blood pool and the white bone tree, so upon seeing this scene, he immediately heightened his guard to the extreme.
He frowned slightly and let out a light "huh," as spiral patterns intertwined at the beginning and end appeared on the flesh tentacles of the bone tree. If not inspected closely, one might even mistake them for some kind of ornate pattern.
However, as the "will" brilliance lit up within the spiral patterns, he discovered that the spiral pattern was, in reality, an extremely unique "rune," seemingly originating from the deepest part of the ancestral bloodlines of all beings, a place closer to the basic unit of the "life" Tao than primordial cells.
Among the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws of All Universes, the "life" Tao is undoubtedly the most exceptional, as it alone was formed after the "universe" was created, with other daos already taking shape at the inception of creation.
The moment Zhao Sheng sensed the spiral patterns, the primordial cells inside him became incredibly violent, and the "will" brilliance around him began to "boil," with spiral light patterns emerging amidst the flickering brilliance.
In an instant, the blood within the pool rapidly boiled, and the red light filling the void converged on Zhao Sheng sitting cross-legged, soon enveloping him in an incomparably dense blood red.
Almost simultaneously, Zhao Sheng let out a muffled groan, as a vast amount of red light frantically poured into his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and invaded trillions of primordial cells.
Following this, a "boom" sound, akin to the creation of heaven and earth, resonated from the level of the original spirit's sense, causing Zhao Sheng's body to shudder, with all his primordial cells "burning" like flaming embers, then beginning to transform towards some designated "bloodline origins."
Crack, crack…
After a series of cracking fracture sounds, the thin ice layer suddenly fractured into countless cracks, then shattered completely.
In the next second, Zhao Sheng was mysteriously lifted by some invisible force and, involuntarily, plunged into the center of the blood pool, where countless tentacles moved reflexively, embedding themselves into various parts of his body.
Ancient alien blood flowed into him through the tentacles, drastically accelerating the speed of his body's transformation.
It wasn't long before horns sprouted atop Zhao Sheng's head, his eyes morphed into vertical pupils, white feathers grew on either cheek, while his limbs regressed into beast limbs and insect shells, and his torso frantically sprouted layer upon layer of thick black scale armor.
At a glance, the whole person seemed like a haphazardly assembled "defective product," with dozens of biological traits appearing simultaneously.
However, as time passed, some low-grade bloodlines were the first to be eliminated, then the mid-grade, followed gradually by the rare top-grade bloodlines.
At this point, the previously chaotic biological traits had completely vanished, replaced by a "four unlike" monster with rhinoceros horn, dragon scales, lion's mane, and vertical pupils.
This eerie blood pool actually possessed the power to unlock the shackles of human origin, enabling a person with pure bloodlines to rapidly transform into a "non-human" form.
This transformation process was likely irreversible.
"Roar…"
A moment later, a long roar emanated from Zhao Sheng's mouth, with the Kui Niu Treasure proactively emerging, emitting a silvery white brilliance.
The silver white brilliance was the "power" of Lord Wanxing, involving the Taoist Law level, which was of an exceptionally high standard.
However, while the silver white brilliance struggled to fend off the "Blood Pool Transformation Power," the disparity in the "power" level between the two wasn't far apart.
In terms of quantity,
with the vastness of the blood pool, the transformation power naturally held an absolute advantage.
As a result, the Kui Niu Treasure quickly failed to maintain, with the silver white brilliance retracting bit by bit above the neck, barely protecting his head in the end.
As Zhao Sheng transformed toward a "non-human" form, Emperor Jiang, Wuzhiqi, Huo Dou, and Soaring Snake, scattered throughout the Ice Sealed Demon Abyss, were all alarmed.
Their respective Divine Beast Treasures automatically emerged, radiating blinding silver white brilliance.
Then, through the mysterious connection between the treasures, the four successively pinpointed each other's "positions."
The sudden danger signal from the treasures caused Emperor Jiang and others to become inexplicably agitated, unable to calm their minds at all.
In a simple stone room beneath a cliff, Emperor Jiang abruptly stood up, turned his head eastward, towards Zhao Sheng's direction.
Emperor Jiang seemed to have thought of something, exclaiming in astonishment, "The Immortal Monarch Power has been activated, could it be that someone else's treasure is in danger of being destroyed?"
"Huh, who could be so unlucky? Soaring Snake... or perhaps Kui Niu?!"
"Immortal Monarch Power?! Not good..."
"Haha, finally sensed the others."
The four of Emperor Jiang almost simultaneously emerged from their hiding places, rushing at the fastest speed towards the northwest of the ice abyss.
Among them, Emperor Jiang moved the fastest, advancing all the way, effortlessly crushing any obstructing Ice Demons. The five within the Great Array simultaneously let out a violent shout.
Wuzhiqi was closest to Zhao Sheng's location, but as he flew halfway, he was suddenly intercepted by a massive swarm of over ten thousand large Ice Demons, quickly plunging into a desperate battle fraught with danger.
...
"Wow..."
Within the blood pool, the blood seemed to boil, rolling increasingly violently, as a considerable amount of ancient alien blood was absorbed by Zhao Sheng, causing the "water's surface" of the blood pool to start slowly descending, revealing countless gleaming white skeletons and other chaotic "objects."
"Boom" boom" boom"
A series of drum-like heartbeat sounds emanated from the depths of the blood pool, growing increasingly louder, eventually causing the entire ice peak to tremble slightly and several cracks gradually spread across the peak body.
As the bodily transformation neared its end, Zhao Sheng felt an immense comfort throughout, with an overwhelming energy that he was eager to release.
Not only that, but a frenzy of desire to destroy everything inexplicably arose in his mind.
Fortunately, the Kui Niu Treasure protected his divine soul, allowing his consciousness to remain clear, preventing bestiality from surpassing humanity.
Wow!
A massive figure suddenly broke free from all blood and flesh tentacles, leaping out from the depths of the blood pool, landing heavily on the ice beside the blood pool.
The ice surface instantly collapsed silently, leaving behind two gigantic "footprints" resembling eagle claws.
At this moment, taking a closer look, Zhao Sheng had actually transformed into a colossal humanoid monster with a lion's mane, ape arms, eagle claws, and dragon scales.
Just then, the figure of Emperor Jiang suddenly appeared at the end of the passage, his entire body shrouded in a soft glow.
Emperor Jiang scanned the blood pool's environment, his eyes radiating with icy brilliance. Upon seeing the creature's face adorned with the Kui Niu Treasure, he was momentarily stunned and tentatively asked, "Kui Niu, are you alright?"
"Nothing, I'm perfectly fine!"
Amidst a series of beastlike roars, the "four unlike" monster suddenly and rapidly shrank and morphed, all external beastly features retracted and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Sheng transformed from beast form back to human form.
Emperor Jiang seemed exceptionally wary of the blood pool, remaining steadfastly within the passage, refusing to take even a step forward.
