"Hu!"
Wang Yi exhaled lightly, bringing his palms together, and the Vermilion Bird Blood was immediately absorbed into his body.
Transform!
Wang Yi shouted in his heart, and the drop of crimson Vermilion Bird Blood instantly transformed into a wisp of red smoke, spreading throughout his body, permeating his limbs and meridians.
Boom!
The Blood Mist exploded under Wang Yi's mental command, rippling through his body like waves on a lake.
Wang Yi's face turned bright red, his body felt scorching hot as if he were in an oven, sweat poured down like rain, and hot steam continuously escaped from his pores.
Ah!
The energy contained in the Vermilion Bird Blood was truly terrifying; the impact force made Wang Yi cry out in pain.
"Child, hold on! Once you get through this trial, your body will become the only Fire Spirit Body in this world, and you will fear no fire of all things," the Fire Spirit said excitedly.
Wang Yi's teeth chattered as he nodded vigorously, beginning to exert all his effort to absorb the energy contained in this drop of Vermilion Bird Blood.
Time slowly passed; it was hard to tell how long had gone by. The pain in his body gradually lessened, and Wang Yi slowly awakened from a semi-unconscious state.
"This..." Wang Yi clenched his fists, feeling the fiery energy coursing through him, filled with joy.
"You succeeded," the Fire Spirit praised. "Although your Fire Spirit Body has not been fully activated yet, you can barely begin to cultivate the Nine Refinements Fire Technique."
Wang Yi was overjoyed and without hesitation began to practice the Nine Refinements Fire Technique.
He understood that since Bilian was aware of the Killing Domain Space, many forces in the Killing Fields must also know about it. When the time comes, countless warriors would want to enter the Killing Fields, and to come out safely, one must possess sufficient strength.
Wang Yi, who was known for his unparalleled comprehension ability in this world, easily grasped the essence of the Nine Refinements Fire Technique. With the guidance of the ancient Fire Spirit, he broke through to the first level of the Nine Refinements Fire Technique in less than half a moment.
By the time he reached the third level, Wang Yi had already cultivated to the second level, which astonished Fire Spirit, who exclaimed that Wang Yi was a monster.
However, Wang Yi merely smiled calmly. In the following time, he also cultivated the Nine Flames Dragon Technique to the third level, and his blood essence technique made significant progress as well.
In half a month, Wang Yi's cultivation level advanced from the second layer of the Mysterious Realm to the fourth layer, progressing at an astonishing speed.
At this point, Bilian found Wang Yi and said, "It will take three hours to reach the Killing Fields. We should set off now and wait for the Killing Domain Space to open."
Wang Yi nodded and quickly tidied up before following Bilian to the Killing Fields.
Three hours later, a vast green grassland appeared before them. The endless Killing Fields stretched out like a green carpet all the way to the horizon.
"This is the Killing Fields. We just need to wait here for the Killing Domain Space to appear," Bilian said as he landed on the ground.
Afterward, Bilian found a spot, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.
Wang Yi did not ask many questions but instead observed his surroundings. The Killing Fields were boundless; he could not see an end. Apart from the endless grassland, there was nothing else—he could not find any trace of what Bilian referred to as the Killing Domain Space.
"You don't need to search anymore. The Killing Domain Space is an alternate space within this realm; you won't be able to find it," Fire Spirit said.
"Alternate space? What is that?" Wang Yi asked in surprise.
"An alternate space is a place that has been opened up within space itself, integrated into it, forming its own world," Fire Spirit explained.
"To open a new world within space? When will I possess such power?" Wang Yi said, clicking his tongue.
"Those who can open spatial worlds are all unparalleled strong beings of the Void Realm, extraordinary talents of the ages. This is still far from where you are now. You must understand that in the Yuan Continent, throughout ancient times, there have only been seven existences like the Killing God Emperor," Fire Spirit bluntly criticized Wang Yi.
Wang Yi was taken aback. He had thought that becoming an emperor-level strong being wouldn't be too difficult, but who would have known that only seven unparalleled emperor-level strong beings had emerged since ancient times? No wonder one could become a powerful figure in the Song Kingdom's Mysterious Realm, and Breakthrough was even a dominant-level existence. As for the Transformation Realm, there were only about ten in the Song Kingdom. From this, one could imagine how arduous the path of martial arts was.
"Hmph, what does it matter if they are emperors? Since my master has granted me a second chance at life, I, Wang Yi, will become a strong being, become an emperor, and trample this land underfoot for my own use." Wang Yi's spirit soared as determination shone in his eyes.
"Kid, the path of martial arts is incredibly difficult; you still have a long way to go," Fire Spirit said.
Wang Yi nodded heavily.
At that moment, a sudden sound of wind cutting through the air echoed. Wang Yi looked up and saw three streaks of light flying toward him like comets.
In the blink of an eye, a Gray-Robed Elder and a pair of young men and women appeared before him.
Wang Yi gazed over and saw that the Gray-Robed Elder had a broad face and long beard, standing casually with his hands behind his back. Yet he unconsciously exuded a powerful aura that seemed to pressurize the surrounding air into a vacuum.
The young man and woman appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. The man was exceptionally handsome, refined and elegant, holding a folding fan while standing in the wind with his clothes billowing, giving off an air of gracefulness that seemed extraordinary.
The woman wore a blue-trimmed Lotus Robe with embroidered blue lotus flowers on the hem. Under the sunlight, they appeared vivid and lifelike. She was very beautiful with an oval face and long pointed chin resembling white jade. Her pair of eyes were incredibly clear, as if they could speak.
Wang Yi looked at the three with an expressionless face; however, his heart trembled as he realized he couldn't see through the cultivation level of this Gray-Robed Elder.
"Breakthrough Expert," Wang Yi firmly concluded in his heart that this Gray-Robed Elder was indeed a Breakthrough Expert. As for the young man and woman behind him, they didn't attract much of his attention; the man was at Mystic Realm Fifth Level while the woman slightly surpassed him at Mystic Realm Sixth Layer.
"Hmph, just a Breakthrough Warrior. In ancient times, such trash was everywhere," Fire Spirit scoffed.
Wang Yi was taken aback, not expecting that Breakthrough Warrior would appear so pitiful in the eyes of Fire Spirit. From this tone, it seemed to be a being worse than a pig or dog, which showed how magnificent the strong ones in the Cultivation World were during the Ancient times.
The Gray-Robed Elder casually glanced at Wang Yi, his gaze falling on Bilian, and immediately showed a look of disdain, but he did not say much. He simply told the men and women behind him, "Let’s wait here."
"Yes, Master," the young man and woman replied respectfully.
Then, the Gray-Robed Elder sat cross-legged on the grass.
The young man and woman looked around and saw Wang Yi and Bilian, both showing expressions of disdain.
"Hmph, a Profound Realm Fourfold thinks they can enter Killing Domain Space; it's simply seeking death," the man said dismissively.
"Brother is right. I think these two are probably just aimless wanderers trying their luck in Killing Domain Space," the young girl in green said with a giggle while covering her mouth.
"Shut up." Bilian suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted at the two, instantly unleashing an unmatched Sonic Wave that swept out, causing a thunderous sound that directly knocked the young man and woman back ten meters.
"Master, help!" The young man and woman simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces pale as they had already suffered internal injuries.
"How dare you!" The Gray-Robed Elder shouted angrily and leaped into the air. However, his body suddenly seemed to be struck by something, crashing down to the ground with a loud bang, spitting out blood.
"You... you..." The Gray-Robed Elder looked at Bilian in fear, his eyes filled with terror. "Senior, spare me."
"Hmph, this time is just a lesson for you. If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for being rude," Bilian coldly glanced at the Gray-Robed Elder before closing his eyes again.
Seeing this scene, a hint of shock finally appeared on Wang Yi's face. A Breakthrough Expert was actually defeated by Bilian with just one shout; it was truly terrifying.
"Child, this Bilian is ruthless. I don't think he's a good person either; you need to be on guard," Fire Spirit reminded.
Wang Yi also knew that Bilian was cooperating with him only because he could help him obtain what he wanted. If he failed to get it, even if he managed to walk out of the Killing Domain Space alive, it would still be a dead end for him. Therefore, he had to obtain the All Things Reviving Divine Mud; only then would he have the qualifications to bargain with Bilian and acquire the Vermilion Bird Blood.
"Let's go." The Gray-Robed Elder led the young men and women away for a thousand meters before stopping.
"Master, are you alright?" the young man hurriedly asked.
"I'm fine, don't worry," the Gray-Robed Elder wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "The Four Great Kings have rules that prohibit killing in the Killing Fields; here, he wouldn't dare to do anything to us. I just can't understand why he concealed his cultivation; otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered this loss."
The young men and women were also puzzled but dared not ask further.
"Hmph, although that person is powerful, his disciple is a waste. After entering the Killing Domain Space, you all will kill him on my behalf to vent my anger," the Gray-Robed Elder said with a sinister expression. Since he couldn't kill the elder, he would find a way to eliminate the disciple.
"Disciples obey your command," the young men and women replied in unison.
By evening, more and more martial artists gathered in this place, exceeding a hundred people. Among the younger generation alone, there were over forty individuals, each one a Profound Realm Warrior. With Wang Yi's Profound Realm Fourfold cultivation level, he was merely at the bottom of this group. It was no wonder that those young men and women thought Wang Yi was here to seek death.
This journey truly opened Wang Yi's eyes. In the Song Kingdom, it was difficult even to see a single Profound Realm Warrior; however, here, Profound Realm Warriors were at the bottom of the hierarchy, with more than twenty Breakthrough Experts present.
"These three must be Transcendent Realm Experts; otherwise, I wouldn't sense even a trace of Vital Energy fluctuations from them," Wang Yi glanced around and focused on three old men. Each of them was over fifty years old but appeared vigorous and rosy-cheeked, showing no signs of aging—quite different from Bilian.
"In such a short time, so many strong individuals have gathered here; how many more will come after these three?" Wang Yi clicked his tongue. The Killing Fields truly lived up to its reputation as a chaotic place; the number of strong individuals far exceeded that of the Song Kingdom. It seemed Zhou Deyu had done well; the Song Kingdom was too weak—weak enough to be on the verge of extinction.
