Alex's miserable cries continued to echo out, after an unknown period of time, he was finally tired, and could no longer utter a sound.
Gradually, he got used to the pain, and only then did he regain his senses.
And only after that did he decipher what the Abyssal Pearl was trying to tell him.
It turned out that he first needed to obtain the Celestial Blood Crystal first. Celestial Blood Crystal was constantly affecting the blood pool for some reason. If the Celestial Blood Crystal is not removed, the Abyssal Pearl could not absorb the blood.
Sighing, Alex looked at the Celestial Blood Crystal and directly flew up. He had not encountered any trap mechanism from the moment he entered the cave, thus he was sure that taking away the Celestial blood Crystal will also not activate any kind of trap. And he was right.
Now that he obtained the Celestial Blood Crystal, he once again sat into the blood pool and started absorbing the blood continuously.
And just like that, a few months passed.
By this time, the blood in the Blood Pool had basically disappeared, leaving behind only a small amount. And this little bit was also about to disappear.
As for him, he had already become a Second Cycle Soul Ascension martial warrior. Thinking of this, he knew it was time to leave this forbidden area.
After the Extreme Void Stage, a martial warrior has to go through Three Cycles of Soul Ascension before they could break through and become a Celestial River Stage martial warrior.
The Three Cycles of Soul Ascension is a very special stage where no one could break through by just increasing their comprehension of cultivation techniques and absorbing a large amount of Spirit Energy.
In this stage, one has to understand their soul, awaken their soul force, and evolve their Soul into a Divine Soul. At that time, their Spiritual Sense would also evolve into Divine Sense.
With every cycle of Soul Ascension, a martial warrior's Divine Soul will increase in strength, their Soul Force would also increase, and at the same time, they could understand their own soul more thoroughly.
In this stage, there is no need for a person to absorb spirit energy or anything to increase their strength. They just need to understand their soul, and their strength will increase automatically.
After absorbing every single bit of blood from the Blood Pool, Alex stored an extremely large amount of blood energy. With just one thought, he could utilize those energies and increase his strength at a rapid pace in a short period of time.
However, since he has yet to truly step into the Celestial River Stage, there was no need for him to absorb those energies.
While the Abyssal Pearl was devouring blood, he concentrated on understanding his own soul. And for some reason, Alex didn't need to work hard in order to understand his soul. His soul seemed to be very special and there wasn't a need to understand much.
In just the first month, he went through the First Cycle of Soul Ascension, causing his soul to evolve into a Divine Soul and birth an incredible amount of soul force.
And in just the second month, his soul once again evolved and he went through the Second Cycle of Soul Ascension.
As long as he could go through the Third Cycle, he could step into the Celestial River Stage. And at that time, with the help of blood energy stored in Abyssal Pearl, Alex was confident in raising his cultivation to the peak of Celestial River Stage at the very least.
After coming out of the Blood Pool, Alex spent another month comprehending the <Celestial Domination> with the help of the Celestial Blood Crystal which also increased the strength of his physical body. And another half month later, Alex successfully went through the Third Cycle of Soul Ascension.
Now, he could become a Celestial River Stage martial warrior as long as he want. However, he did not do so. It is because he had a feeling that he needed to understand his soul more first.
Soon after, Alex and the little demonic beast walked out of the cave. The moment they left the cave, the entire cave collapsed and boulders tumbled down, completely filling up the cave.
After that, Alex followed the opposite direction of the mountain range. And a few days later, he arrived at the place where he had entered the forest a few days ago.
But just as he wanted to leave the forest, the little demonic beast roared and looked at the forest. Its eyes were determent. It was clear that it wanted to stay in the forest instead of leaving the forest with him.
Alex could only sigh. He then took a special ring that he obtained after killing a demon and stored all the demonic beasts' dead bodies in it. Then he gave the spatial ring to the little demonic beast.
This little demonic beast was very intelligent. It knew how to use the spatial ring. It took the spatial ring from Alex, knowing that this is their last meeting, and then left with reluctance in its eyes.
After that, Alex also left the forest.
Two weeks later, Alex left the Ninth Layer and truly exited the Inferno Kingdom. The land from here to a few hundred miles was a battlefield where humans and demons constantly fight and kill each other.
And beyond that was all the lands that demons snatched from humans.
After entering the true battlefield, Alex started killing rapidly. He also got to know here that the Life & Death Sword was actually a Top Grade Celestial Weapon.
He also learned that in the history of this world, the strongest person was a Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior. This is the limit of this world.
The Celestial River Stage and Celestial Phenomenon Stage are divided into three substages known as initial, perfection, and extreme.
The current Fire Emperor is an extreme Celestial River Stage martial warrior. As long as he could take another step, he could become an initial Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior. And after cultivating to the extreme Celestial Phenomenon Stage, he could truly become the strongest person in the entire world.
Unfortunately, because he was guarding the mouth of the abyss, he could not cultivate. After all, at the mouth of the abyss, there was dense demonic energy and very little spirit energy.
On this battlefield, Alex killed an unknown number of demons. Now, his name was known to every demon. Even the Fire Emperor, who was sitting at the mouth of the abyss, heard his name.
He also obtained a title. People now know him as War God Dalgo. He became the idol of countless humans just like the Fire Emperor in a few months.
And his signature move was not any sword technique or the Life & Death Sword, it was Celestial Domination.
In just a few months, he killed so many demons that no demons dared to step into the battlefield later. This brought a period of peace to the Inferno Kingdom that humans had lost many years ago. This period of peace was exactly like what Fire Emperor brought in the past after massacring the demons.
In these few months, Alex also became an Extreme Celestial River Stage martial warrior. No demon was his opponent.
And now that demons stopped coming to fight, Alex decided to enter the land of demons and massacre them. Alex was already confident that he has completely changed the fate of humans, but for some reason, his heart was still uneasy.
Thus, Alex decided to first clear out the entire world of demons before entering the abyss to continue his slaughter.
Alex knew that his sense of unease was coming from the abyss. So, he has to enter there.
Thus, Alex stepped on a journey and continued his massacre of demons. And just like that four years passed.
And in these four years, Alex has no idea how many demons he has killed.
This world was small. It was only slightly bigger than the combined land of Three Cultivation Lands. So, he was able to truly clear this world out of demons.
Humans now use his name, War God Dalgo, to worship him as a hero. His legend was now known to even two and three years old children.
As for the current Alex, he was now an Extreme Void Phenomenon Stage martial warrior.
Finally, on this day, Alex decided to go to the mouth of the abyss and meet the Fire Emperor as well as the grandson of this body.
But before that, he decided to meet Max and Amilia. It has been about five years since he last met them. He left them on their own after obtaining the Life & Death Sword. He has no idea of their current situation.
Five years ago, they wanted to enter the tomb of the Earth Demon Emperor. Alex promised Max that he will help him enter this tomb, but he didn't fulfill his promise.
Now, he at least wanted to meet them before leaving for the Abyss.
