"That's good to know." Emperor Jiang responded casually, yet his gaze remained fixed on the Blood Pool Bone Tree, filled with a fiery passion as if he saw a priceless treasure.

Zhao Sheng, at this moment, was stark naked and inevitably felt uncomfortable. He reached out a hand, summoning a layer of purple Scale Armor that "grew" over his body. This armor perfectly conformed to his body's curves, bearing a simple and grand style with rhombus-shaped scales that exuded an aura of indestructibility amid their heavy and sturdy appearance.

After being transformed by the blood pool, his flesh had undergone immense changes, not only had his Original Spirit nearly doubled in strength, but his Primordial Cells also successfully broke free from the first layer of Origin shackles, initially gaining the ability to transform freely among six different bloodlines.

Indeed!

At present, Zhao Sheng's body contained six kinds of bloodlines including the Human Clan bloodline, which had become much thinner and no longer held absolute dominance. The Thunder Roaring Lion Bloodline followed, then the Primordial Flood Dragon, Sun and Moon Divine Ape, Sea-covering Roc, and a thin, mysterious bloodline that was almost faint.

Through Spiritual Sense introspection, one could see that an extremely small number of "Primordial Cells" emitted a faint golden light, filled with an air of mystery and unmatched majesty.

This trace of golden light seemed very similar to the Original Spirit, yet was actually a higher level of "power."

Due to the presence of this layer of golden light, deeper exploration was blocked, which piqued Zhao Sheng's curiosity.

However, this new body hid too many "treasures" to be explored in the future at leisure, so there was no rush for now.

The current priority was how to deal with Emperor Jiang.

"Initially, I thought the 'Innate Origin Blood' was nothing more than a fabrication by those who came before. But after witnessing it today, I realized they spoke truthfully. Kui Niu, you truly have encountered a great fortune!"

Emperor Jiang cautiously approached the edge of the blood pool and suddenly looked up at the vibrant flesh and bone tree, his tone filled with admiration and deep regret.

"Oh, what is this Innate Origin Blood?" Zhao Sheng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he hurriedly feigned "curiosity" to ask further.

After circling the edge of the Blood Pool Bone Wall, Emperor Jiang returned to Zhao Sheng's side before starting to explain, "I don't know much about the Innate Origin Blood, but according to ancient records, it has the capability to transform decay into marvels... The Immortal Venerable occasionally mentioned the origins of Innate Origin Blood, saying they're often transformed from the Source Blood that dropped from the descendants of Primordial Ancestors, incomparable in value even beyond description."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng felt his heart sink deeper, a sense of unease intensifying.

"Brother Emperor Jiang, this blood pool is large, and there must be a lot of Source Blood residue. If you don't mind, brother..."

Just as Zhao Sheng was speaking halfway, the entire space around the blood pool suddenly shook violently, and it intensified with each moment. Thunderous noises rang out from the ice walls above and around, akin to an earthquake.

"What's going on!" Zhao Sheng and Emperor Jiang were both startled.

The ground's tremors grew increasingly intense, and cracks appeared on the ice walls, rapidly widening before collapsing with a roar, countless fragments of ice falling toward the blood pool, including onto Zhao Sheng and Emperor Jiang.

"This place is collapsing, brother quickly leave!" Zhao Sheng felt a hint of delight upon seeing this and immediately shouted out to warn.

In the next moment, numerous fleshy tendrils dropping from the flesh and bone tree all rolled up, weaving into a blood and flesh shield, tightly protecting the blood pool below.

"Ha-ha, leave? I have no way out!"

At this moment, Emperor Jiang was like a gambler blinded by stakes, suddenly bursting into wild laughter, tearing the blood and flesh shield apart before jumping into the blood pool.

The blood and flesh shield restored itself in an instant, blocking their mutual perception.

Meanwhile, the thousand-foot ice peak finally collapsed with a crash, burying the blood pool space beneath billions of tons of ice.

Ten miles to the west, above an ice mound enshrouded in misty vapors, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Watching the vast ice peak collapse, Zhao Sheng was filled with doubt. Emperor Jiang's words seemed suggestive, yet he couldn't understand what his actual intention was?

The blood pool was just there, it couldn't run away, but why was Emperor Jiang in such a hurry, so much so that reckless was an understatement for his behavior!

Through the mysterious connection with the Treasure, Zhao Sheng knew that Emperor Jiang was still alive and well.

However, the Kui Niu Treasure began to stir restlessly, frequently sending warnings of crises to its host, continually tempting him to head to the blood pool and rescue Emperor Jiang himself.

Rescue?

Rescue is impossible!

Instead, he could stay put, waiting for Wuzhiqi, Huo Dou, and Soaring Snake to arrive and regroup, while familiarizing himself with this new body.

Yet, it wasn't long before groups of pale Ice Demons converged from all directions.

On top of the Ice Peak Ruins, it soon was densely packed with Ice Demons. They lingered within the ruins, seemingly sensing some enormous attraction.

After a while, the "big guys" among the Ice Demons consecutively arrived, and each made a grand entrance, slaughtering among the Ice Demon hordes as their numbers diminished rapidly at an alarming rate.

Within an hour, countless fragments and debris were scattered across the Ice Peak Ruins, leaving only the three strongest Ice Demons as the final victors.

They brazenly divided up the territory, swiftly occupying this "valuable land."

Zhao Sheng witnessed the entire melee process, involuntarily gaining more insights and associations regarding the Ice Demons.
