101: Chapter 101: Devouring the Blood Pool

However, inside the Formation, screams rose and fell one after another at this moment.

Cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage suffered first—as the strangling force of the Formation swept across, several people instantly turned into blood mist, not even having time to let out a scream.

The seven people in the Early Foundation Establishment desperately circulated their spiritual power to resist, but they could only barely hold on. Xiao Yuan activated the Formation for successive strangulations, and within a short moment, three people had already died!

"Damn it! What kind of Formation is this?!"

"That brat is outside! Break the Formation! Quickly break the Formation!"

The remaining Middle Stage and Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators frantically attacked the Formation light barrier, and every bombardment made the Formation tremble violently.

Xiao Yuan's complexion turned a few shades paler.

At this speed, the Formation could support itself for at most two hours.

And that Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator along with four Cultivators close to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage would probably break out of the Formation in less than two hours!

By then, his spiritual power would be exhausted, and he might only be able to be slaughtered at will!

"What should we do?" Seeing this scene, Su Ruotong asked anxiously.

She held the jade talisman treasure, but did not dare to easily activate it. There were too many enemies trapped this time, unlike the previous time!

Between the opening and closing of the Formation, in case the people inside seized the opportunity...

Xiao Yuan clenched his teeth and was just about to speak!

Suddenly, an aged voice sounded in his mind:

"Brat, activate the Ancestral Witch Body Refining Technique and enter the Blood Pool!"

It was that merged blood shadow!

Xiao Yuan was stunned: "What?"

The blood shadow's voice carried a hint of urgency, "You just go in and Cultivate, Cultivate your Ancestral Witch Body Refining Technique to Major Achievement, and slaughtering those people will be simple!!"

Xiao Yuan hesitated.

He still had not figured out the background of these three blood shadows, yet he had let them enter his Dantian.

Now, they were ordering him to do this and that? This feeling was just like someone breaking into your home and then telling you to do this and that!

"Brat, the people of the Wu tribe never deign to use schemes!" The blood shadow seemed to see through his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Our asking you to enter the Blood Pool also stems from our own selfish motives, which is that we hope you can help us take the Blood Pool into the qiankun cauldron. We need the Blood Pool to stabilize our remnant souls and true spirits! Then nourish them with the qiankun cauldron!"

"The current situation is very unfavorable for you, and you can only solve the immediate predicament by improving your cultivation. Rest assured, with our assistance, your strength can definitely be enhanced in a short time."

"Of course, only when you Cultivate the Ancestral Witch Body Refining Technique to Major Achievement can we borrow the energy of the Blood Pool through you, activate the spatial secret technique, and take the Blood Pool. There is nothing to hesitate about!"

Speaking of this, seeing that Xiao Yuan still seemed unmoved, the other party's voice carried a hint of resolution as they said:

"We old fellows swear by the Heavenly Dao that as long as you help us stabilize our remnant souls and true spirits, we are willing to protect your growth with all our might and will never betray you!"

"Moreover, with this Blood Pool, not only can you Cultivate the Ancestral Witch Body Refining Technique to the extreme, but you can also Cultivate even more profound Ancestral Witch Cultivation Techniques. For you, there are only benefits and no drawbacks!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's heart stirred, and he was silent for a breath.

The Wu tribe... it was said that they were indeed straightforward by nature, simple-minded, and did not have so many twists and turns.

Moreover, the current situation did not allow him to think too much.

Besides, up until now, the three blood shadows had not shown any malice towards him, except for the initial conflict when he forcefully absorbed the energy of geologic cauldron and clashed with them.

The other party could have slain him, but ultimately chose to enter the creation cauldron, helping him finish absorbing the giant cauldron's energy, and even stabilizing the creation cauldron, significantly enhancing its quality.

Might as well take a gamble!

"Fine!" He gritted his teeth, "I believe you!"

He turned his head and said to Su Ruotong and the others: "Protect the Formation, I am going down for a moment!"

Without waiting for them to react, Xiao Yuan leaped forward and jumped straight into the Blood Pool!

"Xiao Yuan!" Ye Qingcen cried out in surprise.

Su Li's expression changed, and she wanted to jump down with him, but was held back by Su Ruotong.

"Trust him." Su Ruotong said softly.

Inside the Blood Pool, the moment Xiao Yuan landed, his whole body trembled!

The blood fiendish Qi, rich to the extreme, seemed to have found an outlet, frantically pouring into his body!

The Blood Shadow Divine Scripture—no, the Ancestral Witch Body Refining Technique, automatically began to circulate!

Those blood fiendish Qi poured into his Meridians, surging and flowing along the Cultivation Technique's route. With each circulation, Xiao Yuan could feel his Physical Body becoming a fraction stronger!

"So... so fast!" Xiao Yuan was wild with joy in his heart.

Right at this moment, three blood-colored phantom shadows rushed out from the creation cauldron and hovered by his side!

It was those three blood shadows! They revolved around Xiao Yuan.

"Brat, circulate the Cultivation Technique with all your might!" The leading blood shadow said in a deep voice, "We will lend you a hand!"

The three blood shadows raised their hands simultaneously, and three blood-colored beams of light rushed out from their palms, pouring into Xiao Yuan's body!

Boom—!

Xiao Yuan only felt as if his body had been ignited. Countless blood fiendish Qi surged from the Blood Pool into Xiao Yuan's body, surging and roaring within his Meridians! That speed was more than a hundred times faster than his own cultivation!

In his mind, the Cultivation Technique's progress bar began to jump frantically!

1%... 5%... 10%... 20%...

"This... this fast?!" Xiao Yuan was dumbfounded.

At this speed, it would not even take an hour for him to push the Ancestral Witch Body Refining Technique to Minor Achievement Perfection!

Outside the Blood Pool, the attacks within the Formation continued.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Every bombardment made the Formation light barrier dim by a fraction.

Su Ruotong's expression was solemn as she tightly gripped the jade talisman treasure, ready to strike at any time.

Su Li stared fixedly at the Blood Pool, her palms full of sweat.

Ye Qingcen bit her lip, silently praying in her heart.

Time passed minute by minute.

50%... 70%... 90%...

Finally—one hour later!

100% (Minor Achievement)!

Boom!!!

An aura of extreme terror burst forth abruptly from Xiao Yuan's body!

That aura soared into the sky like a blood-colored pillar of light, piercing straight through the clouds!

The entire Blood Pool was trembling violently, and the blood-red liquid was churning wildly as if boiling!

Centered around Xiao Yuan, a huge blood-colored vortex suddenly formed!

The vortex grew larger and faster, frantically devouring everything around it!

The blood fiendish Qi in the Blood Pool was guided by an invisible giant hand, frantically pouring into Xiao Yuan's body!

"Right now!"

The three blood shadows shouted in unison, simultaneously activating their remaining power!

A profound spatial force erupted from their bodies!

That force triggered the terrifying energy fluctuations generated when Xiao Yuan broke through. The two forces superimposed, instantly reaching a certain critical point!

Hum—!

The entire space was trembling!

The Blood Pool moved!

That huge Blood Pool, a hundred zhang in radius, actually slowly rose from the ground! The blood-red liquid in the pool churned and roared, yet not a single drop spilled!

"This is... spatial force?!" Su Ruotong widened her eyes in disbelief.

Ye Qingcen and Su Li were also dumbfounded.

The Blood Pool rose higher and higher, slowly drifting towards Xiao Yuan—

To be precise, it drifted towards the creation cauldron that suddenly appeared above his head!

The creation cauldron hovered there, its cauldron mouth wide open with colorful light flowing around it, resembling a giant mouth waiting for something.
