Encounter in the Dark Forest
As Bali held the heart of the demon God and stepped into the pool, the crimson liquid rose up to his waist. Suddenly, the blood in the demon heart began to stir, as though it had a life of its own. It crept up and down his body like twisting vines, and within moments, his entire left arm was engulfed and tightly bound by the blood. Suddenly the jade idol inside Bali's cloth broke and a loud shriek was heard from idol mouth. A white spirit came out of the idol and said painfully " Demon God Mahisa, even after your death you haven't stopped torturing me. This is my end. Ahhhh ".
Finally the white light assimilated with the demon blood and coiled around Bali left hand like venomous snakes, forming a bloody viscous liquid that was getting absorbed into his black tattoo.
A sharp, agonizing pain coursed through his body, as though his brain was being sliced into a million pieces. It was a torment worse than death itself, as though millions of tiny worms were wriggling and gnawing through his veins, bones, and flesh.
Bali tried to scream, but his voice failed him, and his body was paralyzed.
A strange liquid flowed along his ribs like a small stream, tearing open his veins wherever it touched. It then multiplied into countless strands, surging into the seven hundred and twenty meridians within his body at an alarming rate.
Bali's meridians began to enlarge, and he felt a scorching heat and biting coldness interchange within them, causing him immense discomfort.
The pain was almost unbearable, and Bali felt as though his body was a vessel being filled with the strange liquid, transforming him in ways he could not comprehend.
"The liquid is transforming the meridians in my body..." Bali thought before he lost consciousness.
After a long while, Bali woke up.
The searing pain had vanished, and he now felt a numb ache in his meridians. The liquid had returned to its origin, and the pool was calm once again.
Unexpectedly, Bali felt a warm sensation flowing throughout his body, increasing his strength and making him feel extraordinarily comfortable.
In the Dark Forest, demon beasts were a common sight, with some even reaching the level equivalent to martial grandmaster. Travelers, including trade caravans, soldiers, and warriors, knew that high-level demon beasts only appeared in certain areas, while low-level ones were usually wandering around.
Bali was surveying his surroundings when he heard a sound from bushes. As he hesitated, he heard rustling in the bushes nearby, indicating someone was there. He turned and saw a beautiful woman squatting down, preparing to relieve herself.Unaware of Bali's presence, the woman sang a happy tune. Bali was entranced by the woman's beauty and couldn't take his eyes off her as she removed her belt and exposed her buttocks.After finishing her business, the woman turned around.Bali finally saw the woman's delicate features and was captivated by her beauty. She was around 20 years old, with a slim waist, full chest, and nice posture. She wore an exquisite blue robe and a gold armor that accentuated her curves and made her look like a legendary wild vixen.
He couldn't take his eyes off her, but the woman suddenly noticed his presence and looked directly at him.
