As Aotian looked at the arrows raining down around him, a layer of despair once again surfaced in his heart.
From those arrows, Aotian felt his soul emitting a fearful "whimper," and the only arrows that could instill such fear in a warrior's soul were the Soul-Breaking Arrows.
The Soul-Breaking Arrows were forged from a special Soul Stone, capable of inflicting tremendous damage on the souls of beings with lower cultivation levels.
In some large-scale battles, the number of Soul-Breaking Arrows was not uncommon. These arrows posed a terrifying threat to the souls of postnatal and Innate Realm warriors.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
The invisible barrier in front of Aotian was pierced by the Soul-Breaking Arrows as if it were mere thin paper, instantly penetrating through his body under Aotian's horrified gaze...
Each time an arrow pierced through Aotian's body, he felt waves of tearing pain emanating from the Second Brain Sea, as if that illusory figure was suffering intensely.
"Ah..."
Aotian's piercing scream echoed throughout the desert.
"Hmph, let's see if you, Heresy, dare to invade our territory again!"
That cold voice seemed to be speaking to itself, and then the soldiers retreated in an orderly manner like a receding tide.
In the hall, Aoyan's face turned pale again as she tightly grasped the mysterious woman's clothing with her delicate hands, her palms sweaty and her eyes reddening once more.
The mysterious woman, however, appeared calm; only a hint of a bitter smile flickered at the corner of her mouth when her gaze briefly swept over Aoyan.
Beside them, Yan's illusory figure floated, looking at the scene in the mirror with a rather indifferent expression, though there was an imperceptible tension deep in his eyes.
In the desert, as waves of tearing pain from the soul in the Second Brain Sea surged through him, Aotian felt his eyelids grow heavy as if they weighed a thousand pounds. His consciousness became hazy, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.
"Don't sleep, don't sleep..."
Deep within Aotian's mind, there was a faint call urging Aotian to wake up, as if once Aotian fell asleep, there would be no turning back.
"I'm so tired..."
However, despite the persistent calling of that voice, Aotian remained oblivious, consciousness growing heavier. It seemed that whenever Aotian was awake, he was constantly bearing immense pressure.
"Aotian, you can't sleep. You have an unshirkable responsibility. If you fall asleep now, you may never wake up again!"
Vaguely, Aotian seemed to see Yan urging him to wake up.
"Teacher, but I'm so tired..." Aotian murmured softly.
"Aotian, you can't sleep. What will I do if you do?"
Immediately after, Aoyan's stunning face appeared in Aotian's consciousness.
"Sister Yan, but I'm so tired..." Aotian's awareness seemed on the verge of collapse, even Aoyan's visage began to blur.
"Tian'er, didn't you say you wanted to reunite our family?" Pater Aotian and his mother's faces also emerged in Aotian's mind.
"You worthless fool, how dare you try to catch up with my pace? Hmph, you're just an ant trying to shake a tree, completely unaware of your own limitations!"
Three years ago, the man known as Willow Demon wasted his cultivation and now reappeared in Aotian's consciousness.
Suddenly, the emergence of this voice was like a spring thunderclap, jolting Aotian's awareness awake:
"No! I can't die! Teacher is waiting for me, Sister Yan is waiting for me, my father and mother are still waiting for me to reunite with them. I have a great vengeance to avenge; how can I die like this?!"
In an instant, Aotian woke up, but the heavy pressure continued to erode his consciousness, constantly trying to make him faint again.
Aotian held on tightly to his last bit of clarity, refusing to let it be taken over by "Death."
"As long as hope remains, I will not perish!"
Aotian gritted his teeth, a low voice roaring from his throat.
In that moment, Aotian felt the heavy pressure dissipate under a strange force, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"As long as hope remains, I will not perish. Well said!" A mysterious woman appeared before Aotian.
Aotian's face revealed a weak smile as he said, "Senior, I have passed this trial, right?"
The mysterious woman gently waved her jade hand. Suddenly, a green light beam descended from the sky.
This green beam was filled with vibrant life and appeared quite strange in the seemingly lifeless desert, like a miracle in the wasteland.
The beam enveloped Aotian's body, and his body, which had been riddled with holes from the Soul-Breaking Arrow, began to heal at a visible speed. Even the soul in the Second Brain Sea felt waves of comfort.
In the great hall, upon seeing this scene, the three people finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Aoyan's eyes curved like crescent moons as he smiled and said, "I told you Aotian would definitely pass!"
"I wonder who was shedding tears just now," the mysterious woman said with a playful smile.
Suddenly, Aoyan's face turned extremely awkward, causing the mysterious woman and Flame Capital to burst into laughter, their laughter containing an almost imperceptible sense of relief.
In the desert, the green light pillar lasted for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before transforming into green light dots that scattered across the sky.
Aotian opened his eyes, and the fatigue that had been present earlier was gone; even the numerous wounds on his body had disappeared.
"Thank you, senior!" Aotian cupped his hands respectfully towards the mysterious woman.
The mysterious woman nodded lightly and said:
"Hehe, the existence of this trial is to test your will to survive. If you had truly fainted just now, your consciousness would have dissipated between heaven and earth. At that point, even if I had Heaven-Defying means, I would not be able to save you."
Upon hearing this, Aotian felt even more fortunate.
"Alright, you can continue with the next trial!"
As soon as the mysterious woman's voice fell, Aotian felt the desert beneath his feet twist, and then he found himself in a stone cave.
The cave was not spacious, measuring less than ten meters in length and width. Upon closer inspection, it appeared quite ordinary, lacking any Extraordinary features.
However, the Blood Pool within the cave made Aotian's heart tremble violently.
He saw that this Blood Pool was approximately two meters wide and long, with dark red blood flowing within it. The blood rolled like waves in the sea, appearing somewhat ferocious and terrifying.
Standing beside the Blood Pool, Aotian did not feel any trace of Bloodthirst emanating from it; instead, there was a faint fragrance.
Blood could actually have a scent?! This seemed to exceed Aotian's understanding...
"This Blood Pool is called Ice Phoenix Blood Pool!" The mysterious woman's figure reappeared beside Aotian.
"Ice Phoenix Blood Pool? What is that?" Aotian asked in confusion.
"The Ice Phoenix Blood Pool can only be refined by members of the Ice Phoenix clan, and to refine the Ice Phoenix Blood Pool, the blood of Ice Phoenix clan members is required. The Ice Phoenix Blood Pool here is something I spent ten thousand years collecting numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and condensing countless amounts of my own blood to create!"
Upon hearing this, Aotian couldn't help but show a look of astonishment, seemingly not expecting the origins of this Ice Phoenix Blood Pool to be so significant.
"Based on the concentration of Ice Phoenix blood, refining techniques, and various other factors, the Ice Phoenix Blood Pool can be divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth, and Human. Among them, the Human level is the weakest, while the Heaven level is the strongest. The Blood Pool before you is an Earth-level Ice Phoenix Blood Pool."
Aotian's expression grew heavy, and a storm surged within his heart. If this was only an Earth-level Ice Phoenix Blood Pool, how terrifying would the Heaven-level be?!
Aotian cleared his throat and asked, "Senior, may I know what your test is..."
"My test is very simple: it is to let you enter the Ice Phoenix Blood Pool!"
As soon as the mysterious woman finished speaking, Aotian's heart slowly sank to the bottom...
