Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 158: Chapter 126: Blessing and Horn

”Finally, I can go back.”

Looking at the effect of the badge in front of him, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

With this badge, he could enter and exit the Bloody Arena at any time.

As for this so-called ”Ordinary Space,” it probably referred to those worlds that exist in reality. For instance, when he enters a dungeon or undergoes a tier advancement trial, they belong to ”Special Space” and cannot use this badge to teleport to the arena.

Moreover, it seemed this badge could also allow him to communicate with the God.

Without any hesitation, Chu Xiu focused his mind and equipped the badge.

Instantly, a tattoo resembling a Blood Pool appeared on his chest.

And just after wearing the badge, he felt a jolt in his mind, as if unlocking another sense, and the entire world seemed somewhat different.

In the originally dead silent arena, numerous illusory figures suddenly appeared. These shadows seemed to exist in another space-time; Chu Xiu could perceive them but couldn’t touch them.

In front of him, three out of the four statues had disappeared, leaving only the Blood Pool that was ”gurgling” with blood.

In a daze, Chu Xiu felt an illusion as if the Blood Pool before him was a giant with a punctured heart, under his gaze, the spouting columns of blood grew thicker and higher.

The blood gradually flooded over the altar, flowing to Chu Xiu’s feet, quickly rising, first submerging his trouser legs, then his waist, and finally reaching his throat.

When Chu Xiu realized it, he was already floating in an endless Sea of Blood! And it was as if he had lost control of his body, swaying and drifting at the mercy of the waves in the Sea of Blood.

Suddenly, Chu Xiu felt a massive gravitational pull from beneath his feet, dragging him into the Sea of Blood!

A surge of indescribable terror surged in Chu Xiu’s heart as he desperately swam upward but couldn’t escape the gravitational pull. He could feel that beneath his feet, deep in the Sea of Blood, an enormous creature was watching him. Chu Xiu couldn’t describe how large this life form was; its life force was boundless, as if the entire Sea of Blood was merely a part of its body!

The gravitational force abruptly intensified, and Chu Xiu had no resistance, being directly sucked into the ten-thousand-meter deep sea!

In a trance, he saw a faint shadow hidden under a ten-thousand-meter trench at the deepest part of the Sea of Blood. Even a brief glimpse was enough for Chu Xiu to feel an overwhelming rush of malicious emotions—filled with venom, hatred, slaughter, and other extreme malevolence—towards him!

”Ha ah!”

Chu Xiu woke up with a start.

He was still in the arena, the Blood Pool in front of him still ”gurgling” with blood, as if nothing had happened.

Chu Xiu, his heart filled with lingering fear, touched his chest and understood that after wearing the badge, his connection with the Endless Blood Pool had significantly strengthened, and while gazing at the Blood Pool’s incarnation in the arena, he had directly contacted a corner of the Blood Pool’s mysterious true form.

And even this brief contact almost shattered Chu Xiu’s soul. It was not an attack from the Blood Pool but merely the influence automatically emitted by its true form.

”What a terrifying malice, what on earth is this Blood Pool?” Chu Xiu couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

Fortunately, his Mental Attribute was strong enough—if it had been an ordinary person, they might have turned into a fool instantly!

Taking a deep breath, Chu Xiu quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the Blood Pool again.

At this moment, three altars rose slowly in front of the Blood Pool, with a crystalline bone shard, a bound wild boar, and a peculiar fish head displayed from left to right, respectively.

A Blood Attendant approached, explaining to Chu Xiu in ancient language.

”The central altar is for matching the next duel, and you already know how to use it.”

”Participating in duels earns points. You start with one hundred points; the higher the points, the higher the level of gladiators, and the better the rewards. However, if you do not participate in a duel within a year, points will be deducted proportionally, and if below one hundred, your gladiator identity will be revoked.”

”The left altar can grant the God’s Blessing. You just need to grasp the bone shard, and the right altar is for opening the Divine Vault, requiring one drop of Ancient Blood each time.”

”If you wish to pray to the God, kneel before the statue and immerse your head in the blood; the God will hear your prayers.”

After saying this, the Blood Attendant turned and left, leaving Chu Xiu alone in a contemplative state.

”Kid, what are you waiting for? Hurry and receive the Blessing! You won such a tough challenge; the reward must be great!” After the Blood Attendant left, the tongue began to chatter noisily.

”Or you can check the vault first to see if there’s any Resurrection Wine in there!”

”Actually, you can also request the Blood Pool to offer Resurrection Wine as a substitute for the Blessing reward. However, you are currently just the most basic gladiator. Although the Blood Pool seems to favor you, I would still suggest you participate in a few more matches before praying to the Blood Pool, so the chances of it responding to you are higher.”

”Even if it’s unwilling, it won’t outright anger it.”

Saying this, the tongue seemed to remember something and shrank back timidly.

Chu Xiu ignored it, as he certainly wouldn’t change the Resurrection Wine for it. He could just lie that there’s none in the vault; anyway, the tongue wouldn’t know if there was any.

Without further thought, Chu Xiu stepped forward, took a drop of Ancient Blood, and dripped it onto the fish head.
