112: Blood Ancestor's final trump card

“Xiao Zhuo! I have been waiting for you for a long time!” From the cracks in the ground, a fountain of blood surged into the sky, dyeing the firmament crimson. From the depths of the churning blood sea, viscous blood plasma condensed into the Blood Ancestor’s form, letting out a cackling laugh.

Prince Hong’s pupils constricted, and his eyes, as he looked at the Blood Ancestor, were filled with horror.

The stench emanating from this vast sea of blood indicated that countless living beings’ essence blood had been refined within it.

What chilled him even more was the terrifying Aura, which made it difficult for him, a Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) expert who had comprehended eighty percent of the Law of Fire, to breathe.

Xiao Zhuo’s five fingers gripped the hilt of the Dragon Slaying Blade, his face calm, his gaze like a cold bolt of lightning piercing through the bloody curtain.

“Only one step away from Perfection?” A realization flashed in his eyes, and the frost between his brows suddenly melted. “Is this your reliance for showing yourself?”

Prince Hong’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

The four words “Law of Perfection” entering his ears actually gave him a fleeting, absurd illusion—that the Blood Ancestor, in front of Xiao Zhuo, was perhaps nothing special.

But he immediately shook his head, took a deep breath, and a resolute Aura of self-sacrifice rose around him: “This old body will risk burning out his Divine Soul to break through this sea of blood! Young friend Xiao, seize the opportunity to leave quickly, and take…”

On his aged body, an Aura of facing death with equanimity emerged, his will continuously rising, clearly intending to fight to the death.

“No need for such trouble.” Xiao Zhuo raised a hand to interrupt, lightning runes flowing at his fingertips.

The two of them dared to ignore him, and the Blood Ancestor, enraged, laughed instead: “Indeed, there’s no need for trouble! You forced this old body to devour all of his kin; today, none of you will leave this place alive!”

Before his words finished, the sea of blood boiled and churned, and ten thousand columns of Bloody Wind and Pillar (literal: fishy wind blood columns) surged forth to crush them!

Prince Hong’s hair stood on end, and purple-gold flames shot up several feet. The towering flames instantly transformed into a giant, ten-thousand-foot figure, attempting to block the blood columns.

But then Xiao Zhuo flicked his finger, and a purple-gold giant tree entwined with lightning snakes appeared out of thin air!

Dark clouds like spilled ink covered the sky, and rumbling thunder deafened the ears.

The gnarled lightning branches formed a dome, even enveloping the flame Dharma Aspect in a purple-gold halo.

Xiao Zhuo’s entire body transformed into a glazed golden form, and his majestic heavenly might caused ripples in space.

The next moment!

The purple-gold giant tree’s Divine Thunder erupted wildly, and the sky-filling thunderclouds also flashed with explosive electricity!

The thunder roared, and the blood columns that shot forth were instantly evaporated into a foul-smelling mist! The lingering power of the thunder then violently struck into the sea of blood!

Foul-smelling steam instantly enveloped the heavens and earth.

In the sea of blood, hexagonal crystal shields hastily appeared, resisting the heavenly thunder.

Xiao Zhuo’s hand seals changed, and the Heaven and Earth Thunder Tree’s light grew even more intense, while the thunderclouds in the sky became even denser.

“Blood Ancestor! Is this all you’re capable of?” He surveyed the constantly shrinking sea of blood, a look of disdain on his face. “If this is all, it’s truly disappointing!”

“Xiao Zhuo! You… you have achieved Law of Perfection?!” The vast sea of blood twisted and churned, smoke rising everywhere, and the Blood Ancestor’s voice came from all directions, full of disbelief, even with a hint of tremor.

Xiao Zhuo walked on thunder with his hands behind his back, the Dragon Slaying Blade trembled slightly, and the lightning glow surged!

A ten-thousand-foot lightning blade glow suddenly formed and slashed horizontally in all directions!

The impenetrable barrier of the sea of blood was cut in two with one strike!

He looked at the stunned Prince Hong and smiled faintly: “Your Highness, leave it to me. You may leave.”

Prince Hong’s body stiffened, then he understood that not only could he not help, but he would also become a burden.

The flame giant dissipated, and he reappeared, taking a deep look at Xiao Zhuo before transforming into purple flames and soaring into the sky.

The Blood Ancestor showed no intention of stopping him.

The pressure Xiao Zhuo brought was too terrifying!

The Blood Ancestor knew that although he had touched the edge of the Law of Blood Perfection, he had not yet achieved it, and he could not contend with this person who completely controlled the Law of Thunder of the Yuan Realm!

“Must I use that last resort…” His consciousness merged with the sea of blood, feeling his Main Body constantly shrinking, the Blood Ancestor finally made up his mind.

Ten thousand feet underground, a blood-colored altar.

A voluptuous, red-eyed woman was tightly bound in the center by Law chains, and beside her, a huge blood-colored crystal was emitting strange ripples.

A streak of blood dripped from the rock ceiling, forming the Blood Ancestor’s Clone.

The woman—Xue You (Blood quiet)—upon seeing the Blood Ancestor, her eyes were filled with madness and terror: “Ancestor! What exactly do you intend to do?!”

The Blood Ancestor’s expression was solemn as he slowly ascended the altar, his slender fingers caressing the woman’s cheek: “Xue You (Blood quiet), don’t blame me. I originally planned to use Blood Night (Blood night) as a sacrifice to help me refine the Blood God’s body, and then combine Yin and Yang blood with you through dual cultivation and Fusion. However, with the fall of the Dragon and Ox Two Ancestors, this old body is struggling alone, so I can only inconvenience you.”

“Blood God’s body?!” Xue You (Blood quiet) trembled violently, looking despairingly at the blood-colored crystal behind her. Under the chains’ confinement, she couldn’t even escape by transforming into blood. “I am the second Blood Demon of this realm! Only when I grow and combine with you can we jointly control the Law of Blood! You cannot…”

A hint of regret flashed in the Blood Ancestor’s eyes as he moved his palm away: “Originally, there was ample time to slowly cultivate you. Unfortunately, you grew too slowly, and the Human Race produced a Prodigy like Xiao Zhuo… Now, there is only one path left.”

He walked to Xue You’s side, stroking the blood-colored crystal, his eyes burning with fanaticism.

“Xue You (Blood quiet)! Become one with this old body! The Fusion of Yin and Yang Demon Blood, using this Innate Blood God Origin crystal to achieve the Innate Blood God’s body! Even if the Law is not complete, it will be enough to crush that Xiao Zhuo!”

Before his words finished, a streak of blood light shot into the altar!

The entire altar suddenly lit up with dark red evil light!

Above ground, Xiao Zhuo, who was clearing the sea of blood, raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze like electricity, as if piercing through thick rock layers, directly into a certain spot underground.

“There’s still a trump card?” He murmured, his finger already raised.

Deep underground, the Blood Ancestor’s Clone’s expression changed drastically!

Most of his Main Body was still entangled with Xiao Zhuo outside, yet he didn’t expect the anomaly here to be detected instantly!

A ruthless look flashed in his eyes!

Boom! The Blood Ancestor’s Clone exploded with a bang! All of the pure blood energy seeped into the altar!

The altar’s evil light flared intensely!

A thick column of blood shot up from the center of the altar!

Xue You (Blood quiet), trapped within it, suddenly stiffened, then exploded, transforming into a drop of golden blood filled with chilling Yin Qi!

The golden blood trembled violently, trying to escape, but it was firmly suppressed by an invisible great power, forcibly pushed towards the blood-colored crystal!

On the ground, Xiao Zhuo’s fingertips once again displayed three-colored divine light, and a beam of heaven and earth tribulation light directly pierced underground!

The churning sea of blood immediately rushed frantically towards the tribulation light, disregarding everything!

Layers of blood crystal shields condensed and shattered before the tribulation light! Although constantly destroyed, they managed to slow down the tribulation light’s speed!

On the altar, that drop of Yin golden blood was finally completely pressed into the blood-colored crystal!

Inside the crystal, a drop of golden blood, long awaited and intensely filled with Yang Qi, rushed forward like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey!

Pfft!

The two drops of golden blood merged into one without any hindrance!

Buzz—!

Meridians, blood vessels, and bones made of energy frantically proliferated at the junction of the two, and a vague human-shaped outline was rapidly condensing within the blood-colored crystal!
