After opening his eyes, Delvin didn't get up because his head pained very much due to the previous accident, so he closed his eyes and rested for some time.
"Huh, how did I get automatically out after fainting inside the Bloodsoul realm. Also, these blood stains indicate that when my soul gets hurt inside, the body outside also experiences pain." After resting for a while, his brain stopped paining so he got up and noticed the dried blood stains on his body.
"Huh, why didn't I think of this earlier, finally found the solution to the crux of the problem." Just as he was going to search for some water source to clean his body, a sudden thought appeared in his mind that if he could vomit blood due to the pressure of the altar then the pressure could also extract some blood out of the beast. "ENTER". He didn't waste any time wiping away the bloodstains or on finding a water source and directly entered inside the realm, a researcher's life is just like this, they don't care about their health or anything else except their profession.
In a small oval shaped boundary space, consisting of only barren land had a divine altar placed in the middle of it, in this space at a corner a translucent body of a youth materialized suddenly. Just as his body materialized completely, he ran towards the direction where a dead beast was laying on the barren land and then started to push it towards the entrance of the altar, the youth is no other than DELVIN.
The beast was pushed very easily by DELVIN towards the altar as he had gained some miraculous strength in this realm by which he can either lift or push anything inside the realm. After pushing the beast near the 10th step from the altar he stopped and lifted the beast up and threw it towards the altar with his full force. The beast traveled through the air with great speed and its speed didn't slow at all till it crossed the fifth step, at the sixth step its speed decreased slightly, at the seventh step its speed decreased by half and the beast started to fall downwards, at the eighth step it had completely fallen on its edge of eighth and rolled on ninth step.
"Although the beast had a cultivation of peak visceral stage and its body can handle the pressure that I could not, the same maybe not be true for its blood as it will move out partially due to the pressure." Just as he expected a huge pressure began to fall upon the beast and soon blood began to ooze out of its orifices which formed a small blood pond almost of five liters below it.
The red blood looked very bright in color and he could feel the amount of refined qi which was very high. "Huh", just as DELVIN was waiting for the blood to travel inside the altar something unexpected happened. A small droplet of blood began to float above the surface slowly and moved toward the ancient signs which were engraved on the outer surface of the altar. As soon as the blood droplet reached near one of the signs it instantly disappeared or to say it was absorbed by that sign.
After that two more droplets began to rise up from the surface of the very small blood pond and moved towards the same sign which had absorbed the previous blood drop but they moved slightly faster than the previous one. They were also instantly absorbed like the previous one, but this time some changes began to happen to that ancient sign. The rust which had accumulated on that ancient sign due to the unknown passage of time began to fall off slowly.
"Sizzle", just after all the rust had fallen down, the ancient sign released a dazzling spark of light which made the pressure increase slightly. So Delvin thoughtfully moved backward to avoid the increase in pressure on him. In the meantime, 7 drops of blood had already risen above and were absorbed already which made the sign fully blood red in color and very life like as if it would come to life at any time after eating to its full.
The pressure increased again by severalfold which made the small blood pond below the beast increase in size, while DELVIN had already retreated many steps and had squatted down to look at the whole process and observing every minute details that were taking place. After the absorption of the first sign was completed, a large clump of blood ball began to flow upwards which later divided into two parts by the suction force and were absorbed by another two ancient symbols.
DELVIN looked carefully at the outer surface of the first floor of the tower and noticed that there were only twelve ancient symbols engraved on it including all. These ancient symbols were carved very beautifully on the altar, these symbols depicted a heart which had a flame symbol in it, second sign resembled some kind of sun, third sign depicted a rectangle containing a tree and there were many other symbols.
After carefully observing the altar he moved his eyes towards the beast. Now the beast's body had already started shrinking continuously due to the increase in pressure and a large amount of blood began to ooze out of the gaps of the scales. Meanwhile, the two ancient symbols had also eaten to their fill and were shining very brightly which made the both attraction and the divine pressure increase significantly and the process of the blood being absorbed by other symbols kept going on until they all had eaten to their full and released a dazzling light.
"Creak", "Creak". Just after all the ancient symbols had eaten their fill, the altar slightly moved and produced a sound of an ancient door being opened. DELVIN looked at the altar's entrance and noticed that the darkness inside the room had already vanished and was replaced with a dazzling light of something shining brilliantly. After more carefully looking at the inside he noticed that all inside was made of gold and there were lanterns hung on the wall which had a golden flames within it, which was the source of light inside the room, there were also three shelves present in the middle of the room.
"Creak", "Creak", "BANG". The creaking sound was produced yet again from the inside of the room but this time an unexpected thing happened. The golden floor began to move upwards slowly and soon a bang sound came out when the floor had fully reached upwards.
"CREAK", "CREAK", "WHIRL". The creaking sound repeated yet again but this time it was much louder than before sounds and it rang out in the entire bloodsoul realm. The altar which had long been stationary all the while shook slightly, dense air currents began to flow outwards from the altar which made DELVIN who was already standing twenty steps away from the altar moved away another twenty steps back. Unexpectedly the tower began to rotate slowly which drained all the color of his face, he also began to have goosebumps all over his body
"EXIT", "EXIT" "EXIT", "DAMMIT EXIT". DELVIN repeatedly began to call out the passcode for exiting the realm after seeing the changes which had already begun to play inside the realm, but no matter how much he called out he was not able to exit the realm, it was to no avail. The altar began to speed up its rotation pace by pace and the whirling sound of air also began to increase, the divine pressure of the altar radiated all over the realm with dazzling lights of ancient symbols.
"Now I can clearly understand just what kind of pain and regret the previous owner of this body had felt like when he was cornered by destiny to an end."
"In the end will I end up dying again? After witnessing a beautiful dream the reality still slaps you awake, but my regret is only that the dream is too short…" Delvin whispered to himself with his hands crossed behind him with no fear on his face, just regret and anxiety in his eyes for living, after experiencing death once he had no fear of experiencing death again.
