The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 1409 - 725: This Isn’t Fair (Part 2)

After some contemplation, he approached the Stele and placed his hand on its surface. In an instant, a sacred feeling seemed to spread from him, filling the entire world.

It was as though the world had somehow become a part of him...

At that moment, the ocean of blood began to see, desert sands floated into the air, the sky trembled, and the land shook. Plants, mountains, everything in the world began to fill with joy, praise, and worship!

As they acknowledged allegiance to Yan Xiaobao standing on the mountain, the Blood Beasts roared.

Jia Lie had survived throughout his life, trembling as he looked up at Yan Xiaobao, knowing he would never forget this experience or the image of Nightcrypt standing there like the Emperor of the world! It was Jia Lie’s first time serving as a Dharma Protector during the Fire Punishment Trial for the Bloodline Master. Therefore, he was completely unaware of what others involved in the trial might have encountered when entering the world.

However, he firmly believed his experience was entirely different from anyone else’s. In fact, he had a feeling that from ancient times to the present, in all the Fire Punishment Trials of the Bloody Sect, no one had done what Nightcrypt had done.

He had no way to confirm whether his theory was correct, but as he looked around at the world trembling and pouring all life into the worship of Yan Xiaobao, he impulsively followed.

Yan Xiaobao stood atop the mountain, suddenly overwhelmed by a strange feeling, the thought that he could destroy the entire world.

At this moment, his "immortality technique" was fully engaged, and moments later, he realized there were whispers in his ears.

"Come... come... come..."

Snapped out of his reverie, his eyes were sparkling, and he took a deep breath. Then he pulled his hand away from the Stele. All things in the world began to shine with a bright, bloody aura, which shot toward Yan Xiaobao surrounding him.

The deep red light transformed into a door, opening slowly right in front of him.

He hesitated, glancing at the door, realizing that if he stepped through it, he would be able to enter the second stage. He looked around again, stepped forward, and vanished into the bloody glow.

In some unknown location within the Blood Ancestor, there was an open space seemingly without beginning or end, as quiet as death. Visible were countless cone-shaped pillars rising from the darkness below.

Atop each pillar was a platform.

Two of these platforms stood much higher than the others, yet not far apart. One belonged to Xue Mei, the other to Song Junwan. Both sat cross-legged, gazing at each other.

They had been sitting there for under two hours. Since each of them possessed a Command Medal, they did not need the Blood Ancestor’s recognition like the Dharma Protectors. They had directly arrived in this place to wait.

In the Endless Blood World, the way time passed varied. In the two hours that passed for Xue Mei and Song Junwan, an entire month went by.

According to their analysis of these two women, they would need to wait a few more hours before any Dharma Protector might appear. Regardless, until both women used their Command Badges to open the trial, the second stage of the Fire Punishment Trial would not begin. They were unwilling to do so without considering all their Dharma Protectors.

They had been exchanging barbed remarks, and after a short pause, Xue Mei resumed the conversation. She coldly smiled and said, "Song Junwan, considering your age, why compete with me for the Bloodline Master position? Couldn’t the Song Family find someone better, forced to let an old woman defend their cause, is that really the case?"

Song Junwan frowned, about to respond suddenly, her expression fluctuated as she looked up at the sky. Xue Mei also lifted her head, her pupils contracting.

As the shape of a massive door slowly formed, rumbling sounds echoed.

"Someone is about to receive the world’s acknowledgment!?" Xue Mei thought. "Only two hours! About a month in the Endless Blood World!" Xue Mei’s eyes widened, filled with shock. She was very familiar with how the Blood Master Trials conducted through fire worked. Allegedly, the fastest time a Dharma Protector had obtained approval in the past was three hours, inside was one and a half months.

"Who could it be?" Song Junwan pondered, equally shaken. "Who overcame another Dharma Protector in the Endless Blood World, dealt with countless Blood Beasts, and still managed to receive World Will’s acknowledgment? For someone to complete the battle this quickly must have been intense!"

Whoever it was, if they ultimately became one of her Dharma Protectors, she would clearly be thrilled. However, if it were one of Xue Mei’s Dharma Protectors, it would be a significant obstacle in her attempt to win the Bloodline Master position.

After mentally reviewing all her Dharma Protectors, she couldn’t think of anyone capable of achieving such a feat. Hence, her expression began to darken.

However, Xue Mei had the same reaction. When she reviewed her list of Dharma Protectors, she wasn’t sure any of them could accomplish that either. Together with Song Junwan, she gazed at the phantasmal door.

A moment later, a blurry figure appeared within the door. It only took the two women a few breaths to realize who it was, and they were both astonished.

"Nightcrypt!!"

"Nightcrypt!!"

Xue Mei’s eyes gleamed with killing intent, her heart trembling with shock. She couldn’t imagine how Nightcrypt had managed to gain the world’s recognition so swiftly.

After the initial shock, Song Junwan’s heart swelled with joy, and her beautiful eyes stuck to Yan Xiaobao.

Yan Xiaobao emerged through the door for the first time, his vision swimming, unable to see clearly. However, this only lasted for a moment, and then he saw the numerous platforms surrounding him, along with Xue Mei and Song Junwan.

"Young brother Nightcrypt, come over," Song Junwan said with a smile. Her voice was filled with gentleness and delight.

Xue Mei coldly snorted, clenched her fists tightly.

Yan Xiaobao blinked and then walked over to Song Junwan. As he landed on the platform, he moved to her side.

"Hmm... am I the first?" he curiously asked.

"You certainly are," Song Junwan laughed. "How did you do it? Who was your opponent?"

To Yan Xiaobao, her smile seemed to merely expose her inner worries. Yet, he did not allow himself to show his true feelings. He raised his chin, clasped his hands behind his back, and tried to look as proud and murderous as possible.

"Oh, it was simple," he said calmly and deeply. "I just walked across the world. As for my opponent, I never asked his name." From his wording and posture, he appeared entirely proud and aloof. Regarding how he referred to the "Endless Blood World" as "simple," both Xue Mei and Song Junwan could envision him summoning his blood sword and striding across the world.

He might have ignored countless aggressive Blood Beasts, perhaps not even bothering to glance at the world around him, as he slaughtered recklessly to gain World Will’s acknowledgment.

Before, Song Junwan’s eyes shone even brighter when she looked at Yan Xiaobao, and as for Xue Mei, she couldn’t help but stare at him. Moments later, both women realized he wasn’t injured at all, and their expressions fluctuated.

Just as Song Junwan was about to ask, Yan Xiaobao lightly brushed his sleeve and calmly said, "I’m tired. Let me know when the second stage begins." He stepped aside, sat cross-legged, looking proud like a solitary pine on a mountain top. When he closed his eyes, his cold, cruel face and fierce aura stopped Song Junwan’s words in her throat.

Yan Xiaobao laughed inside, feeling extremely proud of himself. To him, he was utterly outstanding, clearly superior to everyone else.

He thought, "Wait, I need to do something to make it look more real." With that, he slowly lifted his head, gazing into the distance, eyes filled with melancholy and introspection.

Though they weren’t sure what it precisely meant, Song Junwan and Xue Mei were even more shaken.

Time flew by. Two hours later, the air above began to ripple and twist again, and the door appeared once more. A person who looked burly, dangerous in appearance, seemed to hold their breath as they entered the open space. As soon as Xue Mei saw him, she laughed. The burly man clenched his fists, greeted her with a bow, then stepped onto her platform and sat down beside her. When he saw Yan Xiaobao on another platform, his heart was filled with shock.

He had thought he would be the first to appear and had never imagined Nightcrypt would be quicker.
