A group of strange people who looked like living dolls began a big slaughter, and the blood of the dead people was absorbed by the fruit. This method was to make the fruit ripen faster but only worked if the blood was from someone above 100, below that the blood would be useless.
When everyone looked at that group, many remembered the middle-aged man who had entered one of the chests on the previous level. They looked exactly the same, people being controlled like dolls.
This group did not care about the people they killed, anyone who came their way, they will kill. Tens of thousands were killed by this group, but in the end, they were killed as influential groups gathered and killed the possessed.
Due to a large number of people killed, much blood was absorbed by the fruit, this helped to reduce the time of ripening, but it was still necessary to wait another nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years. No one wanted to wait all this time in the secret realm, so someone had the idea of cutting off the wrists and throwing their own blood for the fruit to absorb.
The method was a success, but only one person would not succeed. If hundreds of millions of people cooperated, it would be possible to shorten quite a number of years.
After they decided, thousands of millions of participants who were at that location at the time, they began cutting their own wrists and throwing blood on the floor next to fruit. But even with so many people, it would take ten years to ripen the fruit.
For these people, ten years was not much, since some of them have already lived tens of thousands of years, ten years more would be like a breath. The problem was the ones who would give up in the middle of that, because they wanted to continue exploring the secret realm, not throwing their own blood to feed a fruit. Even though this fruit is extremely valuable a single drop of its juice could afford to buy a small town.
Many knew that they would not get a drop of juice even if they helped ripen it, so these people began to go out and continue exploring the secret realm. The great majority that remained were those who were part of the great influences.
...
The last news that shook the Nine Worlds, and made everyone scared was the fact that someone was going through the 10th tribulation to reach level 1000 and rank 10.
This fact was only discovered when a very old ancestor of the Song clan came out to see the images of what was happening in the Ninth World, at first, that ancestor did not know what that bubble was, but after some thoughts, he was shocked when he remembered that it was the tenth tribulation process.
When this information was heard by the Song clan, everyone was shocked by it, for they never imagined it would appear to have reached level 999 and rank 9. But there was one exception, the Song clan's imperial couple, they received a secret and confidential message of the matriarch who said: You will have a great surprise.
The empress understood immediately what the matriarch meant in the message, and looked at the images of the bubble in the Ninth World, her face was shocked when she thought of the possibility of what was happening. After the ancestor told them about it, the couple confirmed their suspicions.
The couple never imagined that their perverted son-in-law could become someone who was about to arrive at level 1000 and rank 10. This made them extremely happy and frightened because they did not know what kind of method Liu Yang used to achieve that power being so young.
His in-laws were praying deeply for Liu Yang to breakthrough the tribulation safely.
...
As the Nine Worlds watched the bubble from the outside, inside the bubble, the world was getting less chaotic and harmonious. Gradually he was returning to normal.
The Yin and Yang symbol on the sky and ground began to spin much faster every second, the energy around began to be absorbed by Liu Yang at an extremely fast speed.
Images of Yin and Yang spinning began to rise over Liu Yang's head, his entire body was ripping and regenerating extremely quickly, whenever his flesh was ripped, at the very instant it was possible to see the wound being healed.
As Liu Yang's body absorbed all the energy inside the bubble, his hands began to make several strange seals slowly, the energy of the ten elements was in his fingers. Liu Yang was trying to fuse the elements and create the Yin and Yang.
This process was extremely slow, Liu Yang had to endure the pain and relief of his body and soul being tortured, and make the fusion seals at the same time. If he failed, all those years of hard work would be wasted.
His fingers were dancing while seals were made, the elements were in harmony as it intertwined with each other at every moment. The scene was incredible.
The merger lasted six months, all this time, Liu Yang did not stop making the seals.
...
Six months later…
The energy was fully absorbed by Liu Yang, his body was totally reworked by the energies of the ten elements and became much more powerful than before, his abilities were leveled to the maximum level.
The place that was a small forest with a lake became only a gigantic crater with nothing, only dust, and stones. The Yin and Yang symbols disappeared and the Ninth World began to return to normal.
Opening his eyes slowly, Liu Yang felt as if he were one with the world, he could feel everything around him as if it were part of his body. Trying to move his feet and arms, Liu Yang felt a little trouble moving because he had to adapt to his new and reformed body yet.
Breathing deeply, Liu Yang waved his hand and the bubble began to break like a large glass ball, after the first crack was made, the crack spread and totally cracked the bubble before bursting like a soap bubble.
At that moment, the spies of the great clans and sects advanced toward the crater, but saw no one, in the crater, there was only dust. This showed that the person could have failed in tribulation or crossed successfully and left.
The Nine Worlds was looking at this picture with shocked and dubious eyes, for they did not know whether the person failed or not. Only Liu Yang's women knew if he was alive or not.
