As he entered the pool, Alex felt an enormously strong sense of power overwhelming him. It was then quickly followed by intense pain as if his flesh and blood were drawn away from him again…
His flesh wasn’t actually being ripped out, but training and improvement were advancing his flesh into a type of energy.
The trialists had come to the Underworld mainly to change their skeletons through the pool. They could truly merge the bone patterns into their bones and advance further. On the other hand, Alex’s bones fused with many mysterious powers, such as Ymir’s Divine Bone, the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, Yin-Yang Chi, and Yellow Obsidian Chi. According to the levels of bones, his had exceeded what the pool could enhance. However, since he had just regained his body, it was also considered a burden.
The pool would also help with training his body, and it required much more energy than upgrading bones. Alex could now feel his original body coming back The refined part in the Underworld was now merging with his original body by turning into pure energy.
In an instant, Alex was so overwhelmed with energy that he felt he could punch a hole through the skies.
At the same time, a large gravitational force appeared below the pool and sucked Alex into an unknown direction.
“Sir, sir…”
Suddenly, a voice reached Alex’s ears. It was Neela. At the time, she had managed to return to Alex’s body. Before he entered the Underworld, Neela had been left out due to the laws of the Underworld. Since she was attached to Alex’s body, she had to stay alone with his mortal self and lost the chance at advancing her bones…
However, as she followed the return of Alex’s body, her own body was improved due to the gain of Alex’s unique energy.
“Neela, are you okay? I haven’t heard from you in years! I’ve been worried!”
Feeling Neela reentering his body, Alex felt relieved knowing that she was alive. His worried heart could finally relax.
Neela was surprised. “Sir, what are you talking about? What do you mean by years? We haven’t parted for long…”
“Is this the passage back to our realm?”
Alex frowned, thinking about the aim of his trip. It wasn’t just to become stronger, but he wanted to save his father as well. Besides, the pool had another power that could save Anna. Hence, he definitely couldn’t be sent out now.
“Stop right now!” Alex roared. I-Iis aura burst out with divine power as heavy as a large mountain. One punch was enough to send the pool water flowing backward, with that blurry ball of light hit traveling hundreds of meters.
Neela was stunned, “Sir, you…”
Alex quickly said, “We can’t leave yet, our main goal hasn’t been accomplished.”
As he spoke, he quickly took out the Soul Collection Coffin and carried Anna out.
