Chapter 1696: The Zenith of Strength

necessarily much worse than one. Moreover, my martial arts are primarily focused on battlefield combat and killing. If I could use the barbarian army to help me comprehend the true meaning of martial...The Human Clan Marshal

In the ancient valley, the air was thick with the breath of ages. The crimson soil seemed to have been dyed red by countless years of blood.

At the foot of Mount Tai, as you step into the valley, you can feel a terrifying divine might emanating from the soil. If a cultivator with insufficient cultivation dares to enter rashly, they could be directly suppressed by this divine might.

>

This is here.

That is the forbidden land of the Dark Demon Clan.

In the past, many powerful beings guarded this place, but now these guardians have been eradicated by Shen Changqing, leaving only a few gods who are no longer qualified to guard the restricted area.

More importantly.

Mount Tai is now the Black Demon Emperor, and he can freely enter and exit any place within the entire Black Demon race. No one has the qualifications to stop him.

However.

As Tai Shan was about to venture deeper into the valley, he suddenly halted his steps.

Looking at the blood-colored light curtain before him, he directly took out the Imperial Seal. A mysterious power emanating from it directly dispelled the restrictive force.

Finally.

Tai Shan stepped into the depths of the valley.

In the depths of the valley, a pool brimming with rich golden water lay peacefully. The very forces that permeated the world were inexplicably drawn to it, converging upon the pool like the essence of sun and moon.

Its might is awe-inspiring.

Numerous visions appear incessantly.

"Bloodline Pool!"

Taishan gazed at the golden pool before him. The terrifying power emanating from it caused his eyes to gleam, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Even his usually calm and composed heart was stirred.

The blood pool of the Dark Demon Clan!

Before each generation of Black Magic God race powerhouses fell, they would dissipate their blood and energy to form this.

Over countless years, the surrounding prohibitions against plundering the power of heaven and earth converged in the pool water, causing the power of the bloodline pool not to weaken with the passage of time, but rather to become even more potent.

For all Black Demon Clan cultivators, being able to enter the Bloodline Pool is an unparalleled opportunity.

After all, the blood pool contains immense power. If one cultivates within the blood pool, not only can they enhance their strength, but they can also refine the concentration of their bloodline, causing the power of their bloodline to transform to a higher level.

That's all I have to say.

>

Not everyone is qualified to enter the Bloodline Pool.

In the past, Taishan once entered the blood pool of the Black Demon God Clan, shedding his human lineage and transforming into a member of the Black Demon God Clan. However, he only entered a miniature blood pool, which contained only a fraction of the power of the current blood pool. The two are incomparable.

My bloodline concentration among the Black Demon God Clan is only average, barely able to step into the level of a God Master. If it were before the God Master stage, this level of bloodline power would be somewhat helpful for cultivation.

"...Even now, entering the realm of God Master is not difficult. The bloodline of an ordinary God Master already has little effect!"

Although the Divine Lord bloodline is powerful, it varies depending on the situation. For a God King, the Divine Lord bloodline can be of some use, but for a Divine Lord, the Divine Lord bloodline is of little use.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The strength of bloodline power is entirely related to the cultivator's strength.

The stronger the bloodline, the greater its potential.

Conversely.

If one's cultivation realm is roughly equal to the level of their bloodline, then the amplification from the bloodline would be extremely limited.

To refine one's bloodline, there are only two ways: to obtain other heavenly treasures and earthly treasures, or to rely on luck during breakthroughs in cultivation and gain some opportunities to elevate the purity of one's own bloodline.

Otherwise.

...then it can only enter the blood pool of its race.

But.

The bloodline pool of any clan is particularly crucial. Entering it is extremely difficult, and only those who have made significant contributions can have the opportunity to enter the bloodline pool.

And.

This is just an opportunity.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At the end of the day.

The formation of the blood pool is also the accumulation of generations of predecessors little by little.

Once the power of the blood pool is severely depleted, it will not be so easy to replenish it afterward.

Now.

Tai Shan stepped into the blood pool, his ultimate purpose had two aspects.

The first is to borrow the power of the blood pool to refine the concentration of the dark demon clan's bloodline in one's body, and the second is to refine the blood pool as a cultivation material for the ancient ape scripture.

The essence of powerful beings' blood is a key element in cultivating the Ancient Demon Ape Scripture.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

There is no blood concentration anywhere that can compare to the blood pool of the top divine races.

Take a deep breath.

Taishan stepped into the blood pool.

The moment he entered the blood pool, a terrifyingly powerful force erupted from within it. The normally tranquil qi and blood immediately began to boil violently.

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Boom!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qi and blood surged like raging rivers, the sixth-level flesh body of the deity lord, facing this overwhelming and almost violent power, began to crack step by step, on the verge of complete collapse and annihilation.

As for this situation, Tai Shan had expected it long ago. He immediately followed the cultivation method of the Primordial Demon Ape Scripture, forcibly refining the bloodline power surging into his body, and subsequently tempering his existing bloodline.

Eyes closed.

Taishan's entire being was immersed in cultivation.

Several days later.

Mount Taishan came out from the blood pool.

All that remained of his clothes was the tattered remnants, completely corroded by the power of the blood pool. His skin had turned a fiery red, as if boiled at high temperatures. The energy within him surged wildly, unable to settle for a long time.

Standing by the blood pool, Taishan, according to the cultivation methods of the Primordial Demon Ape Classic, continued to cultivate this peerless skill while the power of his bloodline hadn't completely dissipated.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Less than half a day.

Taishan's body trembled, and a wild and majestic aura emanated from him, pervading the entire forbidden zone.

"The second layer of the Ancient Demon Ape Scripture is complete!"

He opened his eyes, a sharp glint in them.

The blood energy of Chongxiao surged out of his body, like it had transformed into a phantom image of an ancient demonic ape from the primordial era.

At this moment.

Mount Tai felt that his power seemed to have increased significantly compared to before.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Ancient Demon Ape Scripture.

From the first level of entry to the peak of the Divine Emperor, there are a total of five levels.

The first layer of entry, the physical body can enter the realm of gods.

At the second level, one's physical body could rival that of a god king.

Because the Black Demon God Clan's focus was on tempering their physiques, Taishan's cultivation of the Ancient Demon Ape Art proved incredibly effective. In just one day, he had successfully mastered the basics of this lost art. Over the next few days, he even reached a state of completion in the first layer.

Now.

Taishan has officially entered the second layer of realm.

Although the second layer only involves the level of God Kings, it can still provide some help for his current strength.

That's all.

Taishan increasingly felt the terrifying nature of this top-tier inheritance.

The benefits brought by the second layer alone would be beneficial to him as a divine master of the sixth level. If he were to enter the third layer, the benefits would be unimaginable.

"The Primal Demon Ape is indeed worthy of its reputation as the epitome of strength. According to the records of the Black Demon Clan, in the ancient times when heaven and earth were young, a Primal Demon Ape with the body of a God Emperor once clashed with a deity."

Upon reaching the perfection of the fifth layer, this ancient demon ape technique allows one to transform into a genuine ancient demon ape.

"At that time, I was afraid I could be called the strongest under the gods!"

Tai Shan's eyes were resolute.

Though the Taigu Demonic Ape Technique is only a top-tier inheritance of the God Emperor, even among the top-tier inheritances of the God Emperor, there are distinctions in strength.

It is obvious.

The Taigu Demon Ape Art is one of the top-tier techniques passed down from the Divine Emperor's lineage.

Once completed.

The mountain does not seek to be able to shake the divine, but it can sweep across its peers.

But thinking of Shen Changqing's existence, Taishan shook his head secretly again.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Only if one's turn comes will they be unbeatable among their peers.

It's not that the Primordial Demon Ape Scripture has been cultivated to perfection at the fifth level, even if the ancient demon ape that could shake even a god in the past were to be reborn, it would still be inferior to him.

After all.

Shen Changqing's ability cannot be measured by common sense.

The other party's demonic prowess surpasses all others throughout history.

Having discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind, Taishan slightly recovered, and then entered the blood vein pool once again.

For the past six months.

Taishan has always been cultivating in the blood pool.

For him, the energy contained in the Black Demon God Clan's blood pool was immense, almost inexhaustible. Even if he had been refining it non-stop for half a year, he hadn't been able to truly consume much of the energy within the blood pool.

Because of this inexhaustible energy, Mount Tai's cultivation speed is also astonishingly fast.

As early as a month ago.

He successfully entered the third layer of the Taigu Demon Ape Scripture.

This is just a sample text.

Just as one would expect from Mount Tai.

The Ancient Demon Ape Technique, which he entered at the third level, didn't allow him to make a breakthrough in his realm, but his physical strength surged dramatically. Compared to six months ago, it was completely incomparable.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Moreover.

More than half a year.

Has been tempered by the power of the blood pool.

The black demonic bloodline flowing in Taishan's body was also gradually purifying, stepping from an ordinary divine master bloodline to the realm of a middle-level divine master bloodline. It was only one step away from entering the territory of a high-level divine master bloodline.

The present moment.

All of Taishan's thoughts were immersed in the blood pool, completely ignoring everything else.

>

Even the former Saint Lord and other four major gods, powerful beings they were, couldn't possibly cultivate in the Bloodline Pool with such reckless abandon.

It's still the same.

Although the pool of blood energy is abundant, it is also finite.

It's basically impossible to freely use the power of the blood pool for cultivation.

Only now.

Nearly all the powerful members of the Dark Demon Clan are extinct. Taishan became the current Dark Demon Emperor, holding absolute authority in the Divine Clan. Therefore, no cultivator dared to object to his entry into the Bloodline Pool for cultivation.

After all.

Any powerful dissenter has already been wiped out.

Now all the living powerhouses of the Black Demon Race are bowing their heads in submission.

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"The Great Tribulation is coming!"

"With my current strength, I don't have the qualifications to compete in the Great Calamity. Now that I can cultivate in the Bloodline Pool, it is an unparalleled opportunity. I absolutely cannot miss it!"

>

Taishan's expression was resolute. He had no intention of leaving the pass. He wouldn't speak of how profound his cultivation in the blood pool had become, but at the very least, he needed to step into the realm of a God Sovereign first.

Before the Great Calamity.

With his current ability, he naturally has the qualifications to take a place.

But now.

Without the power of a God Monarch level, there is no possibility of protecting oneself. Even if one achieves the status of a God Monarch, it merely increases their chances of survival during a great tribulation.

As for those below the celestial lord, they are no different from ants.
