The Blood Pond of God was famous. Not only the Lu Family, but also the 12 Royal Families.
The Blood Pond of God was one of the powerful resources of the 12 Royal Families. Because of the Blood Pond of God, the families could cultivate powerful warriors quickly and maintain the prosperity of the families.
Patriarch Eight's suggestion was agreed by all the patriarchs. Only disciples of the families could absorb blood essence from the Blood Pond of God.
This was recognized by all the families. Whether Lu Li was a disciple of the Lu Family or not could be proven by entering the Blood Pond of God.
After Patriarch Eight's brief introduction, Lu Li agreed with pleasure. He was the son of Lu Renhuang. What was there to be afraid of?
They walked out but they didn't go far. They went out of the Hall of Patriarchs and entered a black castle.
The castle had no windows and it was gloomy inside. Candles were lit everywhere.
"Creak, creak ~"
Inside the castle, Lu Fenghuo pressed on the wall. With a black glare, a gate appeared on the smooth wall.
Lu Fenghuo and the others walked in one by one. Lu Li followed Patriarch Eight into the stone gate.
The Blood Pond of God was underground. After entering the stone gate, the passageway extended downwards.
The passageway was spacious enough for more than 10 people to walk side by side. There were stone stairs that spiraled downwards.
They were fast but it took them the time for three incense sticks to burn to burn.
According to his calculations, the Blood of God Pool was already tens of thousands of meters underground.
Finally, they stopped. They stood in front of a huge black stone gate. Lu Fenghuo activated a mechanism and entered a heavily guarded hall.
The hall had a radius of more than 3000 feet. It was spacious and brightly lit. Lu Li looked into the hall and saw a huge blood-red pond in front of him.
The pond was built with some kind of dark red crystals. The length and width were more than 30 feet and the height was more than six feet. The dark red crystals were engraved with mysterious patterns and runes. They were glowing in a dark red glow.
Lu Li took a closer look at the mysterious patterns. He could vaguely see some ghostly faces.
The patterns seemed to have come together to form some glaring King Kong, giving people goosebumps and making them afraid to get closer.
"Eh?
How come there is cold air? "
Suddenly, Lu Li felt a surge of cold air coming from the other side. He looked over and saw a closed stone door.
The top of the stone gate was frozen. The cold air must be coming from inside the gate.
"Could this be another treasure land of the Lu Clan?"
Lu Li looked away after a quick glance. There were several stone doors in the hall. They must be the special treasured lands of the Lu Family.
"Let's go!"
Patriarch Eight said to Lu Li and walked over to the blood pond. Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian were already waiting there.
Lu Li followed them. He stood near the blood pond and took a look. His pupils contracted.
The blood inside was dark red, and it was rippling slightly. There was a heart-palpitating energy coming from it. It felt like it was not blood, but poison.
In the end, when the blood fluctuated, it strangely formed a glaring Vajra face.
It looked especially ferocious. If this person jumped down, he would feel like he was going to be swallowed alive by this glaring Vajra.
"Lu Li, you can leave now. As long as you are a disciple of the Lu Family, you will be fine." Patriarch Eight had a kind countenance, looking like a nice old man.
The other patriarchs gathered around the blood pond and looked at Lu Li.
Lu Li thought about it and took Little White out from his sleeve. Little White was still sleeping. Lu Li handed Little White to Patriarch Eight and walked over to the blood pond slowly.
Patriarch Eight looked at Little White but didn't pay much attention. He thought it was just a pet. Seeing that Lu Li was about to jump into the blood pond, Patriarch Eight reminded him, "Lu Li, take off your clothes."
Lu Li didn't take off his clothes because there was a dragon pattern on his back. He shook his head and jumped into the blood pond.
"Splash ~"
The blood in the blood pond splashed around but miraculously, it didn't spill out.
The blood pond was more than six feet high. Lu Li sank into it as if he was swallowed by the glaring Vajra.
All the patriarchs kept their eyes wide open to observe the blood pond but none of them used their psychic power.
The blood in the blood pond was the source of blood. Psychic power could not be used.
"Nothing?"
After the time for a few breaths, the blood pond gradually calmed down. The blood in the pond was rippling as well. It gathered back into the glaring Vajra face. Apart from that, nothing else happened.
"He really is an impostor!"
A glint of coldness rose in Lu Fenghuo's eyes. Lu Liantian's hand glowed with Xuan Energy. He was ready to kill Lu Li.
It was impossible that someone with the Lu Family Bloodline couldn't absorb some blood essence. There was no doubt that Lu Li was an impostor.
Patriarch Eight frowned and said, "Let's wait a bit longer."
The glow of Xuan Energy in Lu Liantian's hand dimmed down. The patriarchs waited patiently.
Time passed by slowly, but there was still no movement from the blood pool. Many of the elders' faces sank.
Lu Li, who was in the blood pond, sank down as well. He was covered in blood but he didn't feel anything in the blood pond.
Many thoughts flashed across his mind. Could it be … that there was something wrong with the blood pond? Or was he not a disciple of the Lu Family?
After the time for half an incense stick to burn, nothing happened in the blood pond. Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian finally lost their patience. Lu Liantian waved his hand and said, "Tianhe, get Lu Li out."
This time, Patriarch Eight didn't object. Patriarch Ten, Lu Tianhe, took out a whip from his Interspatial Ring and tried to pull Lu Li out.
"Buzzing ~"
Right at that moment, the silver dragon mark on Lu Li's back glowed and the dragon mark began to move around quickly.
Then … the entire blood pond was stirred up. All the blood was tumbling around.
"Eh?
Something is happening. Tianhe, stop. "
Patriarch Eight shouted in surprise. Patriarch Ten stopped for a moment and then took back his whip.
All the patriarchs stared at the blood pond. They frowned when they saw the dark red blood tumbling around.
Why did nothing happen when Lu Li went in? Why did it take so long for something to happen?
Nothing like this had ever happened before.
"Gurgle, gurgle ~"
The blood in the blood pond was tumbling like boiling water.
Patriarch Eight was relieved. He put on a smile.
Only disciples of the Lu Family could absorb blood essence in the Blood Pond of God. Lu Li was absorbing blood essence, which meant that Lu Li was a disciple of the Lu Family.
As the blood surged, the color of the blood changed.
The dark red blood was turning into a light red color.
"Ah ~"
From the bottom of the blood pond came a muffled scream. Patriarch Eight shouted at once, "Lu Li, don't be afraid.
You will feel some pain when you absorb the blood essence. That is the blood essence transforming your body and blood. It is beneficial to you. Hang on. "
Lu Li heard Patriarch Eight's words. The scream died down a bit. Clearly, Lu Li was hanging on.
"Gurgle, gurgle ~"
The blood pond was tumbling. The color of the blood was getting lighter and lighter. It had turned into a light red color, but the blood pond was still tumbling.
The patriarchs looked at each other, speechless. Patriarch Eight and Patriarch Four looked at each other in surprise.
But none of the patriarchs said anything. They just kept staring at the blood pond.
The time for one incense stick to burn, two incense sticks, three incense sticks …
The color of the blood in the blood pond was getting lighter. The color of the blood was turning from light red to translucent. Lu Li could see it clearly from the bottom of the pond.
"What …"
The patriarchs were petrified. The Blood Pond of God had been established for a million years. Even the most talented person could only absorb half of the blood essence in the pond.
Lu Li had absorbed more than half and he was still doing it …
…
…
