Chapter 2404: Chapter 2404: Blood Soul Secret Technique

Under Xu Huo’s strict arrangements, the entire Xu Family immediately began to operate at full speed.

Most people were sent out to take up positions outside and handle vigilance.

Only those at Elder Level and above all came to the ancestral hall to bring out the so‑called Holy Object—the Blood Soul Coffin.

Of course, Zhou Yu did not follow them to the ancestral hall, but came to the forbidden ground to wait.

In the Xu Family’s forbidden ground, Zhou Yu rubbed his nose, sizing up the surrounding environment.

The so‑called forbidden ground was actually the convergence point of the entire Xu Family’s underground Spirit Vein.

The Spiritual Power here was dense to the extreme.

Moreover, a special Spirit Gathering Array had been laid out here, able to gather the Spiritual Power to the greatest extent.

And at the convergence point of Spiritual Power, a special Altar was set up.

At this moment, Xu Huo, his expression solemn, placed the porcelain bottle that carried the Bing Hua Residual Soul onto the Altar.

Not long after, Xu Tong brought over a palm‑sized blood‑red coffin Magic Artifact.

This item was the Blood Soul Coffin.

Seeing this Blood Soul Coffin, a look of surprise also flashed across Zhou Yu’s eyes.

Originally, he had thought that the so‑called Blood Soul Coffin, at most, was just a Primordial Ancient Treasure.

But once he saw the Blood Soul Coffin, Zhou Yu was shocked to discover that it actually emanated the aura of a Plane Treasure.

Of course, the Plane Treasure aura it gave off was extremely weak.

Zhou Yu quickly judged that it was not the Blood Soul Coffin itself that carried the Power of Plane Law.

It was more like some expert had poured the Power of Plane Law into this Magic Treasure.

In this way, this Magic Treasure should be able, in a short period of time, to erupt with power similar to that of a Plane Treasure.

However, at most one or two uses would exhaust the Power of Plane Law within it, after which it would become scrap.

While Zhou Yu was still startled, Xu Huo had already embedded both Magic Artifacts into the Altar.

At this time, Xu Tong and the others all retreated a hundred meters away.

On the entire Altar, only Xu Huo remained.

Xu Huo began to cast Spells; as one Spell after another was sent out...

Runes, flickering as clear and transparent as crystal, appeared around the Altar.

These Runes were like tiles surrounding the Altar.

At first, they were tightly adhered to the surface of the Altar.

But as Xu Huo continued to cast Spells, these Runes began to burst forth with strange radiance.

Then they floated up, revolving continuously around the Altar.

As that strange radiance grew more and more intense, Xu Huo’s entire body drifted up, rising to hover above the Altar.

At this moment, his expression was grave, as he continued to cast Spells without pause, and his face also began to turn pale.

It was obvious that driving this Altar secret technique consumed him greatly.

Yet it was clearly something that could not be interrupted halfway, so Xu Huo forced himself to keep casting.

The entire casting process lasted for a full two hours.

After two hours, the rotating Runes gradually condensed into the shape of a Treasure Cauldron.

Just then, Xu Huo suddenly spoke:

"Next, prepare for the blood sacrifice."

Hearing this, Xu Tong in the distance immediately waved his hand.

Nine young Xu Family juniors appeared in the forbidden ground.

Among them was Xu Ling.

Once these Xu Family juniors came in, without another word, they each instantly forced out their own Essence Blood.

Nine streams of blood, like nine long rivers, flowed out from the bodies of the nine and toward the Treasure Cauldron formed by the Runes.

As the Essence Blood of these nine was injected, the originally crystal‑colored Treasure Cauldron quickly turned blood‑red.

And it emitted an extremely strong stench of blood.

As the Essence Blood continued to flow out, the faces of the nine turned visibly ashen.

Moreover, among them someone’s body had already begun to tremble, clearly unable to hold out much longer.

At the same time, in mid‑air, Xu Huo’s face was likewise pale, his eyes full of desperate resolve.

He had to use Primordial Power continuously to maintain the Spell.

If his Primordial Power broke, the Treasure Cauldron would collapse.

This blood sacrifice would then fail.

At this moment, Xu Huo was already on the verge of being unable to endure, the Primordial Power in his body visibly drying up.

The Treasure Cauldron before him had already begun to flicker, gradually showing signs of collapse.

Seeing this, Xu Huo frantically cast Spells, yet was powerless to reverse the trend of the cauldron’s collapse.

Just then.

Zhou Yu suddenly moved.

He extended a finger through the air and pointed.

In an instant, all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power in the forbidden ground condensed and, under Zhou Yu’s control, poured into Xu Huo’s body.

Xu Huo, whose body had already been dried up inside, instantly felt a surging tide of Spiritual Power flood into him.

He was stunned for a moment, then a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

He cast a grateful glance at Zhou Yu, then focused on continuing to infuse the Treasure Cauldron with Spiritual Power.

With Zhou Yu’s assistance, the Blood Cauldron finally completely solidified.

After that, Xu Huo once again deployed a Secret Technique.

The porcelain bottle and the Blood Soul Coffin slowly rose and fell into the Blood Cauldron.

As these two treasures entered the Blood Cauldron, a visible blood‑red ripple instantly spread outward.

However, Xu Huo was prepared, and immediately activated the Formation around the forbidden ground, blocking that blood‑red ripple.

That blood‑red ripple surged out more than a hundred waves.

Only then did it gradually weaken.

As the blood‑red ripple faded away...

A strange vortex appeared within the blood‑colored Treasure Cauldron.

At the very center of the vortex were the porcelain bottle and the Blood Soul Coffin.

At this moment, these two Magic Artifacts were like the twin eyes of yin and yang in a Tai Chi Bagua, providing the vortex with a continuous source of Energy.

At the same time, streaks of silvery Runes kept drifting out from these two Magic Artifacts.

Seeing this from afar, a strange look appeared in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

He seemed to have already understood this so‑called secret technique.

The people of the Xu Family were most likely going to draw upon the Direct Lineage bloodline left by the Ice Locust Ancestor Bing Hua, then use the Power of Plane Law within the Blood Soul Coffin and the porcelain bottle, and with the aid of Secret Techniques, forcibly activate the Ice Locust’s Soul that was already a Residual Soul.

Next, unless something unexpected happened, they should be about to cast the secret technique to activate the Residual Soul.

Sure enough, right then, Xu Huo let out a low shout.

"All Elders, prepare."

"Operate the Blood Soul Secret Technique."

With Xu Huo’s low shout...

Eight Elders instantly appeared around the Blood Cauldron, sitting cross‑legged in mid‑air.

At the same time, they all made the same gesture, and a small blood‑red banner appeared in front of each of them.

Once the blood‑red banners appeared, these people began to chant complex Spells in unison.

The eight small banners immediately let out piercing humming sounds, and then waves of red radiance swept forth, pouring into the Blood Cauldron in the center.

As that red radiance continuously flowed into the Blood Cauldron...

Streams of blood‑reek emanated from within.

And this blood‑reek grew dense at an extremely fast rate...
