Chapter 614: Chapter 574: Entering the Pool, Foundations (Part 2)

Therefore, Qin An didn’t want to waste time.

He took a deep breath and said, "I want to try it. Even if it affects me, it’s my decision."

Liu Rong sighed and said, "No wonder you’re the Savior. Your nature is truly peculiar, willing to undertake such dangerous tasks."

"However, since you’re willing, I won’t stop you, because according to the prophecy, everything the Savior does benefits this world and can bring advantages for us."

Saying this, Liu Rong turned around and said.

"You can just go in and soak directly. As for how to resist, the most effective method is to hold steadfastly to your heart."

Qin An nodded, then slowly stepped onto the ground next to the pool.

As he stepped forward, he felt the terrifying murderous air emanating from the pool water pressing towards him, causing a tense sensation through his body.

This feeling was strange, as if a vague voice in his mind was repeatedly shouting the word ’slaughter.’

It continued endlessly, affecting his mind at all times.

At this moment, Qin An was also stirred by the murderous air, a hint of killing intent radiating from him.

But he activated the Nine-Colored Void Essence, quickly suppressing the killing intent.

He glanced back at Liu Rong without speaking further, stepping into the Celestial Cloud Pool’s water.

As he gently stepped in, his body immediately sank.

At this moment, he felt an extremely terrifying cold wrapping around him, the shouting of ’kill’ in his mind intensified.

And he seemed to be in an Illusion Realm, feeling as if he had arrived at a battlefield where both sides were engaged in slaughter.

He stabilized his emotions at first.

The murderous atmosphere wasn’t thick at this moment; if he couldn’t handle even this, he might lose his life here instead of forging supreme traits.

Liu Rong saw Qin An entering the Celestial Cloud Pool, clenching his fists slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Actually, he wanted to stop Qin An from entering the pool.

After all, Qin An was the Savior.

Moreover, a crucial factor capable of turning the tide of the battle.

Yet Qin An chose to enter the Celestial Cloud Pool.

By the rules, they shouldn’t interfere.

He hesitated for a long time before deciding to let Qin An proceed.

Seeing Qin An enveloped by killing intent upon entering the pool.

Liu Rong regretted his decision.

Such killing intent wasn’t easily countered.

If Qin An were to die here, what would become of this group of Defenders?

Liu Rong secretly lamented.

If he had only waited for instructions from the leader, it might have avoided trouble.

Following the leader’s orders would ensure fewer problems.

But this action probably resulted in a huge mistake.

He wanted to enter the Celestial Cloud Pool but didn’t dare.

Because the murderous atmosphere within the pool was terrifying for all of them, he could only observe Qin An’s movements from the edge.

At this moment, Qin An was already fully submerged in the Celestial Cloud Pool, only his head remained outside.

He closed his eyes, feeling the increasingly terrifying murderous aura.

The murderous air enveloped him like a dense web.

Even moving a finger would bring immense changes, causing the murderous aura to multiply rapidly, ultimately leading him to meet his end at the Yellow Springs.

And become a puppet controlled by the killing intent.

Qin An also felt the killing intent scouring his Void Essence.

The Void Essence compressed at a speed visible to the eye, the compressed essence was more refined than ever, and this purity was something Qin An had never experienced.

Deep within, Qin An shouted, but his consciousness grew increasingly blurry, feeling the spreading murderous aura in his mind, ready to leap out of the pool at any moment, transforming into an unfeeling killing machine.

Just as Qin An felt he had reached his limit, he knew that continuing like this would cause his consciousness to completely sink.

But Qin An was reluctant to give up, wanting to stay here just a second longer.

Even if he couldn’t forge the supreme traits of the Tripod Aspiration Realm, he could purify his Void Essence.

In an instant, half an incense stick’s time had passed.

Liu Rong was still anxiously waiting on the other side.

Stable footsteps could be heard coming.

Liu Rong turned to see an elderly man with white hair slowly walking through the mist.

The elderly man, disregarding his celestial aura, grabbed Liu Rong by the collar and roared, "What are you thinking? How did you allow him to soak in the Celestial Cloud Pool for so long?"

"Even if the supreme traits can’t be forged, losing a Savior will impact the future greatly!"

Liu Rong hung his head, speechless, trembling arms.

The elderly man pushed Liu Rong aside, approaching the Celestial Cloud Pool.

He prepared to do everything possible to pull Qin An out.

But then he noticed something unusual.

"No, how long has he been soaking here?"

Only then did Liu Rong react, hurriedly responding, "Reporting to the leader, he has been here for nearly half an incense stick’s time."

"Half an incense stick?" The elderly man was stunned, "Even you and I wouldn’t dare soak for half an incense stick, how is he enduring so long? No, this isn’t right."

The elderly man pondered, realizing something unusual: "Why is his Power of Divine Soul much stronger than usual?"

Liu Rong was equally stunned upon hearing this: "The method to resist killing intent relies on Divine Soul power, and if he has several times the power compared to others, he can resist the killing aura, but why does he possess such potent Divine Soul power?"

The elderly man shook his head, calmly stating, "I don’t know why either, but being the Savior, he should be extraordinary. Let’s observe the situation further."

The two fell silent.

In truth, they couldn’t awaken Qin An from this state; they could only wait patiently by the Celestial Cloud Pool.

At this moment, Qin An was utterly confused.

He felt like a solitary boat in the ocean’s waves, ready to capsize at any moment.

And if capsized, he’d completely lose consciousness.

Just as he felt he couldn’t hold on, a glimmer of inspiration suddenly emerged in his mind.

Immediately, he felt a new force arising deep within his soul.

This force shielded all killing intents outside.

His blurred consciousness gradually cleared, Qin An felt his soul and body realigning.

"Why is this happening? How do I suddenly know how to resist the killing aura?"

Qin An quickly regained focus, incredulously thinking.

At that moment, he attentively sensed the changes within his mind, abruptly comprehending why he could resist the killing aura.

"So it was Divine Soul power all along. I possess far greater Divine Soul power than ordinary people, enabling me to resist the killing aura’s attack."

"Apparently, the ability to oppose the killing aura stems from the power of the Divine Soul, but why do I possess such immense Divine Soul power?"

Qin An furrowed his brow.

After a moment, he carefully sensed again, finally understanding.

Qin An sighed internally: "So it’s my past life’s power aiding me."

He, having lived two lifetimes, actually possessed two lifetime’s worth of Divine Soul power.

Thus his Divine Soul power was far superior to common cultivators in the Element Transformation Realm.

Using this dual-life Divine Soul power, he resisted the killing aura’s attack.

Realizing this, Qin An’s mind settled, continuing to feel the terrifying murderous aura around him.

The killing aura formed a terrifying vortex around him, yet his Divine Soul power stood like an unwavering pillar.

Qin took a deep breath, clenching his fists.

"Today, I shall forge the supreme traits of the Tripod Aspiration Realm."
