Chapter 2405: Blood Soul Body

Chapter 2405: Chapter 2405: Blood Soul Body

Under the enveloping stench of blood, a flame of blood-red seemed to emerge within the Blood Cauldron.

Within the blood-red flame, the Blood Soul Coffin slowly floated upward.

At this moment, the Blood Soul Coffin was completely different from before.

Firstly, its size.

Currently, the Blood Soul Coffin had transformed into seven feet in length.

Moreover, it was entirely blood-red, covered with various silver runes.

Seeing the transformed Blood Soul Coffin, whether Xu Huo or the eight Elders, all showed expressions of grave seriousness.

As though this blood ritual had reached its most critical moment.

Their respective primordial power was also pushed to the strongest state.

From afar, Zhou Yu’s eyes also showed a grave expression.

Because just now, he suddenly perceived a strange aura emerging from the Blood Soul Coffin.

Furthermore, this aura was rapidly intensifying.

In less than a quarter of an hour, it had already reached the strength of the Integration Realm level, and was still increasing.

As this aura grew stronger, the pressure on Xu Huo and the others around him also grew more overwhelming.

Added to this, they were already exhausted, barely holding on.

Under the pressure of this powerful aura, their complexions not only turned pale but their entire bodies began to shrink.

As if their essence blood had been drained dry.

Yet despite this, neither Xu Huo nor any of the eight Elders withdrew their hands.

This scenario continued for about another quarter of an hour.

Among them, two Elders with the weakest cultivation, only at the Early Stage of the Divinity Transformation Realm, could no longer bear it.

Instantly, they exploded and died.

After their physical bodies burst, both their essence blood and primordial spirit were instantly devoured by the Blood Cauldron.

Witnessing this scene, the remaining people in their eyes showed shock.

At this time, several Elders, due to fear, wanted to withdraw.

However, Xu Huo’s cold voice sounded.

"Anyone who dares to withdraw, I will annihilate your entire lineage."

"As long as you persist, regardless of the result, the family will give you adequate compensation."

Hearing Xu Huo’s words, the remaining six Elders, after a brief struggle, all gritted their teeth and began to persist desperately.

In the blink of an eye, another three Elders exploded and died consecutively.

Their fate was exactly the same as the previous two.

The last two Elders left were already full of despair, knowing that next it would be their turn.

But just at this moment, within the Treasure Cauldron, inside the Blood Soul Coffin.

Thud!

A low but powerful thumping sound abruptly echoed.

Then, the blood-colored Treasure Tripod slowly floated upward.

The two Elders around it and Xu Huo were instantly swept aside by the roar of sound waves bursting from the blood-colored chaos.

This sudden change left Xu Huo and the others shocked and horrified.

At that moment, they were still unaware of what had occurred.

Only Zhou Yu’s gaze instantly focused on the blood-colored Treasure Tripod, and gray light continuously flickered in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

With the Eye of Destruction’s aid, Zhou Yu saw clearly.

The Blood Soul Coffin inside the blood-colored Treasure Tripod slowly opened.

From the Blood Soul Coffin emerged a blood-colored silhouette.

Though it was just a silhouette, Zhou Yu could distinctly sense that it was the silhouette of a woman.

Just as Zhou Yu was fixated on this female silhouette, the woman’s eyes suddenly opened.

In an instant, a powerful wave of divine sense surged straight toward Zhou Yu’s forehead.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Yu’s expression remained unchanged, merely calmly observing the woman.

The powerful wave of divine sense disappeared without warning as soon as it touched within a yard of Zhou Yu.

Witnessing this, the woman’s eyes within the Blood Soul Coffin visibly shifted.

Then, the woman moved.

In her hand, she cast a spell.

As this spell was cast, the silver runes on the Blood Soul Coffin immediately gathered towards the woman’s form.

Soon, the woman’s silhouette became solid.

Subsequently, the woman floated out from the Blood Soul Coffin.

And the Blood Soul Coffin returned to its palm-size, landing in the woman’s hand.

After completing all this, the woman casually waved her hand, and the blood-colored Treasure Tripod instantly vanished.

At this moment, Xu Huo and the others were in a state of bewilderment, not knowing what was happening.

The woman’s form appeared without warning.

Seeing this woman, Xu Huo and the others were initially stunned.

Then, Xu Huo’s face showed an incomparably excited expression.

He knelt down with a thud, exclaiming with excitement:

"Welcome, Ice Locust Ancestor!"

Upon hearing Xu Huo’s words, Xu Tong and the others also realized.

They all knelt down one after another.

"Welcome, Ice Locust Ancestor!"

Zhou Yu didn’t make any move, he merely examined this blood shadow.

This person was Bing Hua.

Just then, Bing Hua stared at Zhou Yu and said:

"Which branch are you?"

Upon hearing, Xu Huo immediately replied:

"Ice Locust Ancestor, I am Xu Huo."

"My father is Xu Yuan!"

"You’re a descendant of Xu Yuan!"

"Not bad, you are indeed a direct lineage of my Bing Hua."

"And who might he be?"

Bing Hua’s gaze suddenly locked onto Zhou Yu.

At this moment, Xu Huo urgently said:

"Ice Locust Ancestor, this person is Senior Zhou; it was he who returned your residual soul to the Xu Family."

"Moreover, during our Blood Soul Secret Technique execution, it was also Senior Zhou’s assistance that enabled the blood ritual to be successfully completed."

Upon hearing this, Bing Hua showed a look of surprise.

"Such a young Integration Realm cultivator is indeed rare."

"I have offended you just now, Daoist Zhou, please forgive me."

Bing Hua’s cultivation was obviously higher than Zhou Yu’s; if Zhou Yu wasn’t mistaken, she should be at the Late Stage of Integration Realm, or even at the Peak of Integration Realm.

But since she was currently only the Blood Soul Body, how much power she could wield was uncertain.

Nevertheless, she was very polite to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

"It’s no matter."

"I have just recently reforged my Blood Soul Body and need some time to consolidate."

"If Daoist Zhou is not in a hurry, please stay longer at the Xu Family. After I consolidate the Blood Soul Body, I will discuss matters with Daoist Zhou."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"That’s fine."

"Precisely, I also want to exchange insights with you, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Bing Hua immediately looked at Xu Huo.

"Treat Daoist Zhou with the highest courtesy."

"Yes!"

"Ice Locust Ancestor."

"Furthermore, Xu Huo, you stay behind."

"Yes, Ice Locust Ancestor."

Subsequently, Zhou Yu, led by Xu Tong, left the forbidden area.

Only Xu Huo and the Ice Locust Ancestor remained in the forbidden area.

Bing Hua began to speak:

"Are you now the person with the highest cultivation in the Xu Family?"

Xu Huo respectfully replied:

"Yes, Ice Locust Ancestor."

Bing Hua nodded.

"I am now merely a Blood Soul Body, and most of my memories have been lost."

"So, compile the family’s situation in the shortest possible time and inform me."

"Especially, anything related to me."

"Yes, Ice Locust Ancestor!"
