Chapter 883 883: Second Hemolysis

Compared to Old Samikina's excitement, Pei Yan was much calmer. Looking at this pool of blood, he scratched his head, feeling a bit troubled: "So do I just get in like this?""It's not that simple. At the bottom of this pool, there is an array specifically inscribed for you. Soon, a special dye will be used to depict an array on your body. Once you enter, you'll activate the array specific to my Hell Plane using the primordial energy to resonate with the array at the bottom of the pool. In this way, the Demon Race essence blood will enter your body and transform it."

Old Samikina noticed the troubled expression on Pei Yan's face and, with a slight frown and dissatisfaction, said: "Mr. Pei, you don't need to worry that your bloodline will be overtaken by the Demon Race's blood. After this essence blood enters your body, it will still condense and compress into a single essence blood factor, just like before. Only when you activate the Demon Race bloodline will the bloodline power be triggered!"

Seeing Old Samikina's anger at his aversion to the Demon bloodline, Pei Yan scratched his head and masked his embarrassment with a smile. The process continued as Old Samikina had stated, step by step, except for the moment he had to strip naked in front of everyone for the runes to be drawn on his body, which made Pei Yan somewhat uncomfortable, but there were no other accidents.

Prepared, Pei Yan endured the nauseating smell of blood rushing at him and made a dive into the blood pool. Once inside, he found a relatively comfortable position to sit, then activated the Demon Race's Origin Qi to operate the array on his body. As the blood-red light lit up on his body, Pei Yan felt the thick blood around him begin to boil, and the ever-flowing blood slowly infused into his body along the array pattern on his skin, while his muscles and meridians resisted the invading blood. The two forces clashed and fused, causing Pei Yan to feel his body constantly switching between breaking apart and merging.

The hardships he had undergone on the path to ascension had tempered Pei Yan's body and will so that this intense pain could only make him frown slightly now. As time passed, a day after Pei Yan entered the blood pool, the entire essence blood transformation approached its end. Seeing the blood pool reduced to less than one-fifth of its previous volume, unable to draw any more strength from it, Pei Yan stood up and leaped out of the pool to Old Samikina's side.

Confronted with the stench emanating from Pei Yan who had turned into a blood-covered figure, Old Samikina couldn't help but instinctively step back two steps and joked: "Lord Pei Yan, you are becoming more and more like us, the Demon Race! Oh! My heavens, look at the demonic horns on your head, how beautiful they are! These are symbols of pure-blood nobility! Even if you deny any relationship with the Demon God, I'm afraid no one will believe it now!"

Hearing this, Pei Yan reached up to touch the pair of demonic horns growing on his head. From the touch alone, he could feel a change from his previous transformation, but it was limited to a tactile change. In terms of appearance, he truly couldn't understand the Demon Race's aesthetic or what kind of horns would be considered beautiful.

Unconcerned with these issues, he rubbed the dried blood on his face, and upon realizing the more he rubbed, the blacker it got, he reluctantly gave up the action and said: "I need a hot blood bath to wash off these bloodstains. Also, when can I start the special training in the Sealed Land?"

"Not today. Go back, take a bath, and rest well! Tomorrow, I'll take you to the Sealed Land to begin your special training!"

As Pei Yan walked out, hearing Old Samikina's words, he stopped in his tracks, turned to the side, and asked, puzzled: "You're taking me there? Isn't the Demon God coming out?"

"Ah! My dear Prince, do you think the Demon God is usually free? Being able to meet you twice in a row and watching over your safety throughout your training is already the greatest blessing I've ever seen in my life. Even when our Demon Race's Child of Origin entered the Ghost Realm, the Demon God was not so concerned!"

Listening to Old Samikina's slightly jealous complaints, Pei Yan shrugged with a bitter smile: "I was just asking casually. I thought the Sealed Land, like the Ghost Realm, required the Demon God's escort to enter!"

"The Sealed Land actually allows entry for our Demon Race talents for trials after specific intervals. This is to hone and improve their combat skills, and also to control the number of Hell Beasts, so there's a limit on how many can enter through one entrance. Six pure-blood nobility clan leader emblems are needed to enter via combined spell-casting."

Old Samikina stopped and looked at Pei Yan, warning: "I must remind you, although our Demon Race enters this place for trials, we only dare to hunt around the perimeter. Going deeper, as you'll have to do to search for the Divine Artifact, I advise you not to think about engaging in fights all the way."

"Why? Wasn't one of the considerations for letting me into this space to hone my abilities?" Pei Yan asked, rubbing his stiff neck.

"You'll definitely have battles, but before determining the location of the Divine Artifact, I advise you to conserve your energy as much as possible, hide your presence, and avoid battles. From the stories I've told you, you should know that our Demon Race and Hell Beasts once coexisted in one plane, but ever since we surrendered to the Demon God, we've considered each other mortal enemies. You now exude the aura of the Demon Race. If you are discovered, they'll hunt you relentlessly like Hellhounds smelling blood!"

Hearing this, Pei Yan was stunned for a moment, then a joyful smile spread across his blood-stained face: "This is exactly what I've been hoping for!"

Seeing Pei Yan's indifferent attitude, Old Samikina frowned, still considering the alliance. He tolerated it and reminded again: "I know you're strong, but do not underestimate the strength of those Hell Beasts. Their fighting in the harshest environments all day has forged their immense strength. In a certain sense, they are the strongest species in this plane."

"Old sir, I understand your meaning! I also won't look down upon these creatures, but I must confront this battle throughout the Divine Artifact quest. If I cannot push my combat ability to the limit during this special training, it will all be meaningless." Pei Yan sighed again, scratching his itchy hair reluctantly: "Because the adversary I truly must face is a hundred times more terrifying than those Hell Beasts!"

Upon finishing, Pei Yan looked up at Old Samikina with determination in his eyes: "Since arriving here, I've become more certain of one thing. The resources those children of wealth, the Child of Origin can access won't be much less than mine! If I rely on trickery to achieve my goals during training, I'll be the only one suffering losses in the end!"
