And while the two of them clashed covertly, Zhong Ming's advance through the trial continued.
After passing the fifth stage's deathly chill, he stepped into the sixth: the Blood Jail.
Here, there was nothing but a boundless, crimson ocean. Waves of blood churned, carrying a terrifying power that could dissolve all things. Even Refined Steel Cold Jade, if dropped within, would first be turned to flesh and blood, then completely melted into the sanguine water, vanishing without a trace.
But upon stepping into this stage, Zhong Ming's expression turned strange.
'Tai Sui!'
The moment he touched the bloody water, a resonance with his own physique instantly told Zhong Ming that the sea's ability to dissolve all things and turn them to blood originated from the Forbidden Demon Object—the Demon Star, Tai Sui.
