Martial Peak

“Say whatever you like,” Ji Peng said as all traces of pity left his expression, leaving behind only a cold glint in his eyes as he overlooked the group below him on the verge of death.
Before, he had simply been waxing nostalgically, and now that he was done, there was nothing more to say.

With the exception of Yang Kai, the condition of everyone in the pond was gradually getting worse.
Blood began to boil, meridians began to break, and flesh began to tear, causing red blood to flow into the Body Tempering Divine Pond, dying it an even darker shade of crimson.

On the other hand, Yang Kai only felt uncomfortable while his life wasn’t currently in danger.

A person’s body had a natural capacity, just like how only a certain amount of Saint Qi could be stored in one’s dantian, only a certain amount of vital energy could be stored in one’s body.
If this capacity was forcefully exceeded due to some external factor, dire consequences would be incurred and in the worst-case scenario one could even explode.

Yang Kai was an exception to this rule, however.
In the past, he could condense Yang Liquid to store in his dantian and currently he could store excess Saint Qi directly in his physique.
His physical body was all but bottomless.

The strange force present in the Body Tempering Divine Pond was similar to Saint Qi in the air, both of which could be used to cultivate.
Ji Peng activating the Sacrificial Altar at the bottom of the Divine Pond greatly enhanced the effects of this strange force and it was currently hammering Gui Che, Gan Ji, and Luo Yao’s bodies to death.

However, Yang Kai could transform this strange energy into pure Demon God Golden Blood, essentially allowing him to undergo a limitless amount of tempering.
Quickly, he had condensed ten drops of Demon God Golden Blood, each one containing a terrifying amount of energy.

With a tragic sound, Gan Ji’s body suddenly swelled up as a pulse of energy burst from his body, battering his surroundings as blood poured out of his seven orifices, giving him a miserable appearance.

*Peng…*

A muffled noise rang out and a giant splash emerged from the Body Tempering Divine Pond.
After the blood-red water fell back to the pond, Gan Ji had disappeared and in his place, on the surface of the pond, was a large amount of minced flesh and broken limbs.
Soon after, these remnants sank into the water and dissolved, transforming into a massive amount of pure vital energy.

After Gan Ji died, the Body Tempering Divine Pond boiled up even more and the surge of bubbles coming from its depths increased in intensity.
Yang Kai clearly felt a massive amount of the strange force pour into his body from all around, nearly causing him to cry out in pain.

Ji Peng calling them sacrificial offerings wasn’t just idle talk but instead a true fact.
With Gan Ji’s death, the effects of the Body Tempering Divine Pond became even stronger.

The next moment, Luo Yao’s scream echoed through the air and the enchanting yet dignified young woman followed in Gan Ji’s footsteps.

Before she died, Luo Yao’s beautiful eyes sent an unforgettable glare of hatred towards Ji Peng, seemingly wishing to imprint his ugly countenance into her soul.

The two exploded one after the other, with no bones left.
The effectiveness of the Body Tempering Divine Pond suddenly increased by one level.

Soon after, even the strongest Gui Che found himself unable to handle the increase pressure and shamelessly called out, “Ji Peng, save me and I’ll give you everything inside my Space Ring!”

Ji Peng simply stared at him though and said, “Once you die, and the Body Tempering Divine Pond calms down, I’ll naturally obtain your Space Ring and everything inside it.”

“You’ll suffer Heaven’s punishment for this!” Gui Che raged angrily.

Ji Peng laughed wildly, “Maybe, but you won’t be around to see it.”

As soon as he spoke those words, Gui Che’s body burst open and his Space Ring flew up into the air before landing back into the pond, disappearing beneath its surface.

Ji Peng’s eyes flashed with greed, but he didn’t rush out to collect it.

After waiting for a while, he suddenly wore a strange expression and muttered, “How come their Souls didn’t come out?”

Ever since Gan Ji died, Ji Peng had been on guard against his former teammate’s Souls escaping.
He had been waiting to ruthlessly extinguish them as soon as they appeared.

But to his surprise, when his former companion’s died, no trace of their Souls could be seen, as if they had been destroyed and become sacrifices when their bodies exploded.

After thinking about it for a moment but not coming up with an answer, Ji Peng turned his attention towards Yang Kai, frowned, and asked, “Kid, why are you still not dead?”

Yang Kai’s forehead was filled with veins as sweat poured down his skin, seemingly enduring unimaginable pain and torment as he haltingly spoke, “I don’t know.
Maybe because my strength is too low and I had to sit at the edge of the pond.
Do you want to step inside and check for yourself?”

Ji Peng coldly snorted, “Do you think I’m an idiot?”

Yang Kai nodded firmly, “You really must be an idiot, standing there so smugly, not even realizing that someone is sneaking up to attack you from behind.”

Ji Peng’s face changed immediately as he rapidly turned around to see a twin-horned blood-stained man who was concealing his aura while rapidly approaching.

“Di Ji?” Ji Peng’s face paled greatly when he saw who it was.

But after noticing the condition of this Monster Race master, Ji Peng calmed down greatly.
He didn’t know what danger Di Ji had encountered, but at this moment his body was filled with wounds and he looked quite exhausted.
Most importantly, Di Ji was currently all alone, all of his former companions had disappeared.
