I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

"Is this... have I turned into a blood person?"

Han Zhan, surprised, attempted to summon his Divine Soldiers, and thankfully, his Talent Ability was still usable.

This gave him a slight sense of relief.

However, he couldn’t sense the presence of tools, nor use them.

"Is the Blood Pool actually a mysterious space?"

"Li Wu said that the Blood Pool is a legendary place for nurturing Demon Gods, and I was also ’born’ from a similar ’embryonic egg’."

"Could it be that everyone who enters here ends up like this?"

Han Zhan speculated in his heart and continued to explore his surroundings.

The sky above was densely covered with blood vessels, blocking out the sun.

The embryonic eggs, like fruits on a tree, hung there.

When Han Zhan walked beneath one of them and looked up closely.

He could see the silhouette of a person curled up inside the embryonic egg, illuminated by a red glow.

The next second, the embryonic egg cracked.

Transparent liquid poured down, and Han Zhan hurriedly dodged. Sure enough, a silhouette fell down afterward.

It was a black silhouette.

Completely different from his own completely blood-red self. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The figure was at least three zhang tall, its robust stature almost matching that of Li Wu’s transformed state.

Han Zhan saw the figure, and the figure saw Han Zhan.

"Li Wu?"

Han Zhan was somewhat unsure and could only tentatively ask.

"Are you a newly appointed Jiuli Tribe warrior?"

"Indeed, you are impressive. I can feel your strength, as if you have five constantly erupting volcanoes within you."

Hearing the voice, Han Zhan could confirm it wasn’t Li Wu.

The figure spoke directly about the existence of the Great Ruins within him, which surprised Han Zhan.

However, those who could enter the Blood Pool were undoubtedly powerful members of the Jiuli Race.

Han Zhan became increasingly curious about the identity of the speaker.

"The newcomers to the Blood Pool are ’Newcomers,’ with the lowest level of pollution, so the blood embryos they condense are bright red, just like yours is now."

This was an explanation of how he recognized Han Zhan as a new warrior.

From the speaker’s words, Han Zhan caught onto several key terms.

Newcomer, pollution level, blood embryo.

The blood embryo should refer to his current blood person form, indeed born from an embryonic egg; calling it a blood embryo was accurate.

Newcomer likely referred to those entering the Blood Pool for the first time.

As for the level of pollution...

Seeing the other’s light black blood embryo similar to industrial waste water, Han Zhan was pensive.

"Sir." Thinking of this, Han Zhan gave a polite bow to the other.

"Your response is quick, and your mind is sharp."

The other did not deny but nodded to Han Zhan. "Don’t bother with ’Sir’; you can just call me Kuafu."

Kuafu?

Han Zhan’s lips twitched in even greater surprise.

He had heard this name countless times, yet he didn’t expect to encounter it here.

Kuafu, within the Jiuli Tribe, should be of "Great Power" status, able to enter the Blood Pool freely.

"Do you want to follow me?"

"Now that the Blood Pool is just beginning to activate, the pollution has not descended. During this time, we can explore more areas to see if any new traits have emerged."

Following Kuafu could save a lot of trouble.

But similarly, not all new traits would be his for the taking.

From Li Wu’s introduction, Han Zhan already knew what the traits nurtured within the Blood Pool were and understood their importance to the Jiuli Race.

However, Han Zhan was not of the Jiuli Clan People and did not need traits to break through.

Therefore, he nodded and said, "I am willing to accompany Kuafu, sir."

This opportunity was perfect for consulting Kuafu and understanding more about the Jiuli Tribe.

Hearing Han Zhan’s words, it was Kuafu’s turn to be surprised. He originally thought Han Zhan would not want to travel with him.

"Seeing the color of your blood embryo, vibrant and rich, you should also be a ruthless character, decisive in killing, yet you are willing to follow me? Aren’t you afraid this trip to the Blood Pool will be fruitless?"

Han Zhan was strong, but Kuafu did not think a newcomer could snatch traits from him.

"I don’t know enough about the Blood Pool yet, so I plan to follow you first, and then decide after becoming familiar."

Han Zhan answered frankly.

This answer clearly treated Kuafu as a Toolman.

But instead of being angry, Kuafu laughed heartily a few times.

"You newcomer, your temperament suits me. Very well, then follow me first to get familiar with the Blood Pool."

After Kuafu finished speaking, Han Zhan asked his new question:

"Aren’t the blood embryo colors of Newcomers all bright red? Why, according to Kuafu, are there other colors?"

Facing Han Zhan’s question, Kuafu generously shared what he knew.

"The color of a Newcomer’s blood embryo is directly related to their mind, often reflecting a person’s psychological state."

"Like you, your blood embryo glows with a deadly red, which means your mind is filled with evil energy, you’re decisive and ruthless."

Hearing Kuafu’s judgment about himself, Han Zhan awkwardly rubbed his nose.

He did not deny it.

"As for me, my blood embryo has turned light black now because I am no longer a newcomer and have entered the Blood Pool many times."

"There is pollution within the Blood Pool; the more one interacts with it, the deeper the level of pollution. Correspondingly, the blood embryo becomes darker."

"Until it becomes pitch black, turning into the ’Polluted,’ unable to leave the Blood Pool forever."

Han Zhan nodded continuously as he listened to Kuafu’s description.

Being able to venture with a repeater, or even a three-peat or four-peat, veteran spared the trouble of exploration.

Han Zhan felt more and more that his choice was absolutely right!

The Blood Pool was vast, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Like a giant, blood-colored mirror reflecting the sky filled with crisscrossing blood vessels.

In another part of the Blood Pool.

An embryonic egg pulsed rapidly and then began to crack from the surface.

With the transparent liquid fell a silhouette.

"Is this the Blood Pool?"

"Just as the High Priest described, vast and boundless, countless blood vessels spreading everywhere."

"The High Priest said that the Newcomers would condense blood embryos of different colors based on their traits. Let me see what color my blood embryo is..."

Li Wu murmured to himself and looked down,

He saw his reflection in the Blood Pool below, a glaring white that was completely out of place in the entire Blood Pool.

"White?"

"White!"

"I am a warrior of the Jiuli Tribe, a warrior brave in battle, why am I white? Why!"

"I hate white!"

Li Wu angrily pounded the ground with his fists.

"Calm down, this is a feature of the Blood Pool, is white really so hard to accept?"

At this moment, a pleasant female voice sounded from behind.

Li Wu abruptly turned around.

His eyes were filled with a bright yellow color.
