Chapter 401 158: Divine Pool Baptism

The others were also sizing up this Divine Kingdom.

The Spiritual Qi in the Divine Kingdom was extremely potent, almost forming a mist.

Spiritual Qi was abundant.

It was a good place for cultivation.

As his gaze swept across the area, Chen Yu noticed a massive pool deep within the valley.

The pool's water was red.

It was a brilliant red, as if it had been steeped in fresh blood.

Probing it with his Force Field, he found that the massive, blood-colored pool possessed a unique property.

'Divine Material…'

Chen Yu quickly made his determination.

The unique property within the pool was precisely that: Divine Material.

This Divine Material was the same as the kind found in a Divine Spirit Pearl.

Not only did it contain Divine Material, but the water in the pool also held other unknown substances.

Although he couldn't identify these other substances, his intuition told him that the material in this pool was extraordinary and would be of great benefit to his physical body.

'This must be the Divine Pool…' Chen Yu thought to himself.

The others also had their gazes fixed on the Divine Pool.

It was the first time any of them had seen it, and the Divine Pool didn't seem to match what they had imagined.

Led by the middle-aged True God, the group arrived at the edge of the Divine Pool.

The Divine Pool before them was enormous, several times larger than a standard swimming pool.

The Divine Pool was also very deep.

His Force Field probe revealed it was a full hundred meters deep.

The deeper it went, the more potent the Divine Material and other substances within the Divine Pool became.

Standing at the edge of the blood-red Divine Pool, Chen Yu felt as if every pore on his body was about to open up, and a deeply refreshing sensation washed over him.

"Submersion in the Divine Pool depends on your own fortunes. Just use the Celestial Destiny Skill to absorb it. The longer you last, the greater the improvement. When your body reaches its limit, you will be automatically ejected."

At that moment, the middle-aged True God spoke, his voice reaching the ears of every person present.

Everyone nodded.

"All right, stop wasting time. Enter the Divine Pool now. Just jump right in."

The middle-aged True God spoke again.

Upon hearing this, one of the young men instantly leaped in.

Strangely, when his body submerged into the Divine Pool, it didn't create a single ripple.

Seeing this, the others jumped into the Divine Pool one after another, their bodies sinking freely until they were completely submerged.

Chen Yu jumped in as well, his body completely enveloped by the water.

After jumping into the Divine Pool, his body sank freely until it came to a stop at the very bottom.

Chen Yu opened his eyes and could see the figures of the others.

Inside the Divine Pool, there was no sensation of being enclosed by water.

Even at the bottom of the Divine Pool, he could breathe with perfect freedom.

Not in the slightest!

'Truly miraculous…' Chen Yu marveled internally, then closed his eyes and began using the Celestial Destiny Skill to absorb the Divine Pool's blood-red liquid.

HUMMM—!

The moment the Celestial Destiny Skill activated, the liquid in the Divine Pool seemed to come alive, surging into his body.

Instantly, a scorching heat rose within him.

This scorching heat spread from within, engulfing his entire body.

Chen Yu could endure it. Despite the burning sensation, the changes to his body were tangible improvements.

The Qi within his body was also skyrocketing.

Meanwhile, if one were to look from the outside, the water of the entire Divine Pool seemed to be boiling, churning violently.

The middle-aged True God watched this scene without a ripple of emotion on his face. Then, with a wave of his hand, he summoned a lounge chair and leisurely reclined upon it.

'I wonder how long they'll last this time. Hmm, these few should hold out longer, especially Chen Yu…'

The middle-aged True God lay on his lounge chair, watching the boiling pool and speculating to himself.

'I just don't know if anyone can break the record…'

The middle-aged True God thought to himself, then closed his eyes as the lounge chair began to rock automatically. He seemed perfectly content.

Hot!

As time passed, Chen Yu noticed something was wrong.

The more he absorbed, the hotter it became!

It was as if there was no upper limit.

And the hotter it got, the greater the improvement.

This heat wasn't just physical; even his spirit felt the burn.

The combined assault on his soul and body was a terrible feeling.

Chen Yu discreetly opened his eyes and saw that the faces of many of the others were contorted in pain.

Clearly, they were feeling the same thing he was.

However, Chen Yu remained unharmed by this level of scorching heat.

With his True God Body, this bit of heat was no problem at all.

Even if he were to jump into the sun, the resilience of his True God Body would allow him to withstand it for a time.

Time passed, bit by bit.

Two hours later, the first figure leaped out of the boiling pool.

His face was flushed, and his body was like a branding iron. As he jumped out of the Divine Pool, his entire body was steaming.

On the lounge chair, the middle-aged True God opened his eyes. He frowned as he looked at the first young man to emerge.

'Reached his limit after only two hours… sigh, so weak.'

Sighing internally, the middle-aged True God looked at the steaming young man and said, "Regulate your breath. You'll recover quickly."

The voice entered the steaming young man's ears. Heeding the True God's advice, he immediately sat cross-legged and activated his Celestial Destiny Skill to stabilize himself.

Soon, he returned to normal.

He opened his eyes, looked at the boiling Divine Pool, and clenched his fists.

In just two hours, the improvement was greater than what he could achieve in two months.

He wanted to go in one more time.

But the chance was gone.

Each person only had one chance.

Even if he jumped in again, there wouldn't be much improvement. His body had already reached its saturation point.

If he tried to forcibly absorb more, the only result would be bursting from the excess.

"Wait on the side. We'll leave after everyone is finished," the middle-aged True God said.

The young man nodded silently, then retreated to the side and sat down cross-legged.

And just then, another figure leaped out from the pool.

Just like the first young man, he was red all over, like a branding iron, steaming from head to toe.

With the middle-aged True God's reminder, the second young man also began to regulate his breath and quickly returned to normal.

After the second came a third.

Within two and a half hours, seven or eight people had already reached their limit and left the Divine Pool.

But there were still many remaining.

Having completed the baptism, their strength had all increased significantly.

Their Qi had surged.

Their individual abilities had also improved a great deal.

But this was not the end; it was only the beginning.

Soon, more than half a day had passed.

People continued to leave the Divine Pool one after another.

After more than half a day, half of the participants were out.

Among them was Zhuge Qingtian.

'My Qi has increased tenfold… a pity I couldn't use the Divine Pool to comprehend True Divine Profound Meaning.'

Zhuge Qingtian sighed internally.

His gaze turned to the Divine Pool. 'I wonder how long Chen Yu can last.'

He was very curious. Among everyone present, it was common knowledge that Chen Yu's physical body was powerful.

Even a True God had commented that his physical body was extremely tough, comparable to that of a True God.

In the Divine Pool's baptism, the longer one lasted, the greater the rewards.

He estimated that Chen Yu's improvement would, at the very least, bring him to the Ninth Level Peak.

It was even possible that he could comprehend the True Divine Profound Meaning and grasp the secrets of a True God.

After all, the baptism of the Divine Pool was truly insane.

It was just a matter of not being able to endure long enough.

The longer one could endure, the more astonishing the transformation.

Time flowed on, and soon, nearly a full day had passed.

Over ninety percent of the people had completed their baptism, and Dongfang Yao was among them.

As of now, three people still remained in the Divine Pool.

Chen Yu, Nangong Ba, and Jiang Can!
