Chapter 626: Chapter 626: Terror

Nameless shot him a fierce glare.

"Long Ao, you deserve to die."

With a cold laugh, Long Ao spoke in an even tone, "Nameless, you asked me to come here and help you obtain the Divine Spirits. But in the end, you betrayed me and tried to use someone else to do your dirty work. Your shamelessness truly knows no bounds."

"You..."

Without giving Nameless a chance to speak, the four Divine Spirits roared in fury, "You traitorous bastard! Nameless, let’s see how you plan on taking any Divine Spirit from this place today!"

"He definitely won’t be taking them. I’m the one who’s going to take all the Divine Spirits, and that includes the five of you."

Hearing Long Ao’s words, both the four Divine Spirits and Nameless suddenly burst into laughter, as if they had just heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.

’A mere Saint, shamelessly boasting in front of them like this? Wasn’t he just asking to die?’

Even if they could no longer reach their peak strength, the power of a Divine Spirit was not to be underestimated. Forget about the thousand-plus Divine Spirits joining forces; even a single, random one could instantly kill him with ease.

For this very reason, the five Divine Spirits didn’t take Long Ao seriously in the slightest.

But Long Ao just watched them with cold eyes, his face a mask of contempt.

"I’ll let you witness the power of the Blood Pool."

Having made his decision, Long Ao didn’t hesitate. Following Long Fu’s instructions, he infused his Life Essence Blood with Soul Power and directly activated the Blood Pool.

A terrifying, bloody aura instantly enveloped the entire Tomb of the Gods. The five Divine Spirits seemed to sense something amiss. Just as the four were about to call for help, they discovered to their horror that they were powerless.

Long Fu had said before that if they were true Divine Dao Martial Artists, the Blood Pool, being suppressed by the Dragon Seal, would have a hard time dealing with them.

But things were different now. Inside the Tomb of the Gods were only these so-called Divine Spirits, and the Blood Pool happened to be their nemesis. The outcome was predictable.

The massive Blood Pool left the Dragon Seal Space and floated in mid-air within the Tomb of the Gods.

The four Divine Spirits were unable to contact their masters. They could only stare dumbly at the Blood Pool in the air, having no idea what it was.

But none of the Divine Spirits were fools. They knew there had to be a reason for Long Ao’s sudden arrogance and renewed confidence. They could clearly sense the terrifying power of the Blood Pool. For this reason, the five Divine Spirits didn’t dare hesitate and immediately launched their attacks.

Whether it was Nameless, the four Divine Spirits, or all the other Sealed Divine Spirits, their auras flared chaotically as they began to frantically attack Long Ao and the Blood Pool floating in the air.

The massive Blood Pool.

A bloody aura enveloped the entire Tomb of the Gods.

Watching all the Divine Spirits with cold eyes, Long Ao showed no fear. Suddenly, he shot into the air. Before any of the Divine Spirits could understand what was happening, his body plunged into the Blood Pool.

’Long Ao jumped into the Blood Pool?’

’Is Long Ao trying to kill himself?’

The five Divine Spirits could clearly sense the bloody power radiating from the Blood Pool. Never mind a mere Saint—even they wouldn’t dare to jump into it so recklessly.

Just as the five Divine Spirits were certain Long Ao was dead, the Blood Pool suddenly erupted with a terrifying Power of Blood. It formed into countless Sharp Swords that began to attack not only the five of them, but all the Divine Spirits present.

It had to be admitted that the Blood Pool’s power was simply too immense. Even Divine Spirits could not withstand it.

Devouring Heaven and Earth, its might was unstoppable.

The Sharp Swords descended upon the Divine Spirits. Before they could even react, they were all sucked into the Blood Pool. Conscious or not, no Divine Spirit was spared.

Seeing this, the five Divine Spirits trembled. Not daring to linger for even a moment, they immediately turned to flee.

But at that very moment, Long Ao suddenly shot out from the Blood Pool. He looked as if he had been bathed in blood, and his body emanated a terrifying, bloody aura.

"Long Ao, you..."

Long Ao stared coldly at the five Divine Spirits. Meanwhile, the remaining Divine Spirits were being claimed by the Blood Pool one by one, with no exceptions.

Long Ao held the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber, seeming to have completely fused with it. Only at this moment had man and blade truly achieved the Unity of Man and Blade.

Without giving Nameless a chance to speak, Long Ao slashed forward with the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber. Though his Realm was still that of a Saint, having not risen in the slightest, the situation had changed entirely.

Long Ao had temporarily taken control of the Blood Pool’s entire power. As such, he now had no fear of the five Divine Spirits. He seized the offensive, each strike a killing blow, giving them no room to breathe as he pressed his attack with overwhelming might.

The five Divine Spirits could never have imagined that Long Ao’s strength would grow to such a degree in a matter of seconds. Even with all five of them working together, they were no match for him.

’What in the world just happened?’

The five Divine Spirits had no idea what was happening, so they didn’t dare to face him head-on. Their only hope was to escape this God of Slaughter. But the more they tried to flee, the more relentlessly Long Ao pursued them, his blade falling in a non-stop flurry of slashes.

"Trying to run?"

Long Ao’s voice was like something out of Hell. Right after it finished absorbing all the other Divine Spirits, the Blood Pool suddenly appeared before the five of them.

Having just witnessed the Blood Pool’s terrifying power, how could the five Divine Spirits dare to fight it? But now, the Blood Pool was like a giant suction cup, holding them fast.

He threw his head back and laughed wildly.

Talent Divine Abilities, Dragon’s Roar!

A massive, black Giant Dragon phantom materialized behind Long Ao. Dragon’s Roars thundered through the entire cave, their echoes refusing to fade.

Nameless might not have been too surprised to hear the Dragon’s Roar, but the other four Divine Spirits were baffled as to how Long Ao could produce it. Before any of the five could act, they felt their bodies being instantly locked in place.

They weren’t just locked down; the very flow of Time around them began to reverse. Though it was only for three seconds, the five Divine Spirits knew exactly what this meant.

"Long Ao, what in the world have you done?"

A cold smile played on Long Ao’s lips. He had unleashed his Talent Divine Abilities, Dragon’s Roar. More than that, he had also used Blood-Drinking Devouring. That single slash said it all.

Long Ao wasn’t holding back in the slightest. In truth, his mind was already being gradually affected by the Blood Pool from wielding its power, especially since he was drawing upon its full strength.

Ultimately, Long Ao’s own strength was too low to truly command the Blood Pool. This was with the Dragon Seal’s suppression; otherwise, the moment he began to draw upon the Blood Pool, he would have been completely corrupted by it, becoming what was known as a Blood Pool Puppet.

However, Long Ao’s situation was already dire. The more he fought the Divine Spirits, the more the Blood Pool took the opportunity to corrode his soul.
