Chapter 93 Half-step to Transcendence
The blood pool slowly calmed down, but if you looked closely, you could still see ripples spreading on the surface of the blood pool, but they were not visible if you didn't look closely.
Seeing that the blood pool had calmed down again, the two living suits of armor slowly walked to both sides of the hall and stood there like statues, not moving at all.
Just when the two living armors stopped moving, two entrances and exits opened again on the wall of the hall. A team of people wearing black hooded cloaks and holding torches escorted Fu, Guona, Ailan and Gro, who were tied up with ropes, into the hall. They escorted them to the blood pool and knelt down, as if waiting for something.
At this time, two men in cloaks walked up to a relief on the wall next to them and pressed the mechanism hidden in the relief. Immediately, they heard the sound of a mechanism operating on the top of the hall above their heads. At the same time, someone used a torch to light the stone plate held in the hands of another figure relief on the wall. Flames immediately ignited on the stone plate, and the flames continued to flow along the relief and the wall. The stone plates held in the hands of many figure reliefs on the walls of the hall also ignited flames, making the entire hall brighter.
At this time, Fu and the others saw that the ceiling of the hall above their heads was evenly divided into twelve petals and slowly retracted into the wall. Then, a coffin made entirely of bronze, pulled by six thick chains covered with runes, gradually fell from the space after the ceiling above opened, and hovered above the pool of blood below.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
The bronze coffin swayed slightly, causing the chains to hum. Looking at the bronze coffin suspended above the pool of blood, those people wearing black cloaks and hoods knelt down one after another, and kept prostrating themselves in front of the bronze coffin, chanting Manse-English prayers with inaccurate pronunciation. It sounded like they were simply memorizing the pronunciation, and they didn't seem to truly understand the meaning of this Manse-English prayer.
The man who had lit the brazier in the hall before pressed the mechanism again. With a slight and short sound of the mechanism, a large amount of blood suddenly gushed out of the relief on the top of the hall wall, and flowed slowly downwards along the depressions and lines of the relief, making the relief on the wall appear a strange bloody color.
The blood flowed down along the relief grooves and cracks on the wall, flowed into the shallow grooves under the corners of the wall, and spread along the ditches on the ground to the blood pool in the center of the hall.
When the blood in the ditches poured into the blood pool, it completely formed a blood-colored magic circle. Under the influence of the magic circle, the blood pool changed from its previous calm appearance to boiling. At this time, the bronze coffin also changed. The bronze coffin suddenly opened slowly, revealing a skinny corpse completely wrapped in gold cloth. Under the slight vibration of the bronze coffin, the skinny corpse fell directly from the bronze coffin into the blood pool.
The skinny corpse fell into the blood pool, and the golden cloth wrapped around it slowly spread out and sank to the bottom of the pool. Then, a female mummy with a rather hideous face was seen floating in the blood, constantly absorbing the life energy in the blood. Her body quickly became plump at a speed visible to the naked eye, and hair began to grow on her bald head, gradually restoring her gorgeous appearance that was enough to charm everyone.
The woman suddenly opened her eyes, looked at her hands, and felt the already thin life energy contained in the blood around her. She suddenly let out an angry scream, and immediately lowered her head to look around in the blood pool. Finally, she found a human-sized blood cocoon at the bottom of the pool, made of a substance similar to a blood and flesh film!
When she arrived in front of the blood cocoon, the woman looked at the blood cocoon that was beating like a heart from time to time. The nails on her ten fingers slowly grew out and stabbed at the blood cocoon like ten small sharp blades.
The blood cocoon was not very tough and was immediately pierced by the woman's sharp nails. Her arms were deeply immersed in the blood cocoon.
Looking at the blood flowing out of the blood cocoon, the woman opened her mouth and swallowed the blood, with a satisfied smile on her face. Just as she lowered her head and opened her mouth with sharp canine teeth to prepare to bite the blood cocoon, a purple-red arm suddenly broke through the blood cocoon from the inside, grabbed the woman's neck, and twisted her neck to break it.
But the woman was obviously not a normal person. She used a little force to reposition her neck, and her arms rushed out of the blood cocoon and stabbed at the blood cocoon continuously. In the blink of an eye, she had turned the blood cocoon into a sieve.
Just as a smug look appeared on the woman's face, a huge shock force suddenly erupted from the blood cocoon, which shattered instantly. The blood in the blood pool turned into a wave and rushed outward. As for the woman, she screamed and flew backwards under the influence of the blood, and hit the wall hard. As luck would have it, she was pierced in the chest by the hand extended by a human-shaped relief!
The power of the shock wave continued to spread, causing Fu, Guona and others who were near the blood pool to faint instantly, and most of the cloaked men who were kneeling in the hall also fainted and fell to the ground. Only a few people remained conscious, but they also fell to the ground under the impact of the shock wave, dizzy.
Shalan slowly walked out of the blood pool. His clothes had completely disappeared. His muscles were not too developed but had clear lines. Looking at his hands, Shalan could feel an explosive power filling his body.
After forming a blood cocoon in the blood pool, Shalan could clearly feel the life energy in her blood flowing into her body under the attraction and absorption of the "Magic Bull Breathing Technique". If it was just the life energy of that pool of blood and the strange snake , Shalan would not have undergone such a change.
But when those people outside began some kind of sacrifice and activated the mechanism to replenish the blood pool with a large amount of blood, Shalan quickly competed with the woman they were going to sacrifice for the life energy in the blood, and unexpectedly used this to cross the barrier, condensing thirty-three blood-colored life seeds in one fell swoop, lighting up the entire spine. Although she did not achieve the extraordinary level, she also reached the strongest level below the extraordinary level, the true peak state of a high-level knight, and was only one step away from the extraordinary level of bloodline knight!
Just now, Shalan was just trying out her skill. She used the current shock force to punch the woman, which produced a very strong effect, making Shalan more and more satisfied with her condition.
