From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 312 Absorbing the Origin
"Now that this immortal sword has been bound by us, you can refine it by using your supernatural powers."

"From this day forward, you will bear the legacy of the Taiming Dao and wield the Crimson Meteor Immortal Sword. The Great Dao is within your grasp. What are you hesitating for?"

"We've been planning this for so long. Now that we're at the last minute, are you going to give up?"

The phantom's expression was somewhat ferocious. He looked at Ao Yunhai and asked loudly.

Ao Yunhai's expression shifted slightly.

Indeed, he had relied on the Dragon Palace's sun-shielding flag to enter the volcanic hell. Now, he only needs to take one step to complete his supernatural powers and obtain a celestial sword.

This temptation is too big.

only……

However, he felt very uneasy, as he felt that everything before him was out of control.

The word "sword sheath" spoken by the blood-robed Taoist priest in particular stirred his mind, and he even felt that the two words were inexplicably filled with evil.

"What a fool!"

The illusory figure cursed inwardly, unsure whether he was cursing Ao Yunhai for being ungrateful or cursing the blood-robed Taoist for ruining his plans.

"Alright, now that the scabbard has been forged, let Crimson Meteor return to its place."

The blood-robed Taoist who spoke first frowned slightly when he saw Ao Yunhai dawdling.

"Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, several other Taoist priests in blood-red robes nodded and surrounded Ao Yunhai.

Ao Yunhai looked around, his originally human-like pupils turning into golden vertical pupils, his eyes filled with a threatening intent.

The next moment, he let out a low roar, his scales stood on end, and in an instant he swelled from his boyish form into the shape of a true dragon!

With its red scales and fiery flames, its horns like torches, and its four claws soaring into the air, the enormous dragon body pierced through the void, moving like light, and instantly vanished into the distance.

In just one breath, he had vanished dozens of miles.

However, one of the Taoist priests in the blood-red robe simply chuckled softly and gently extended a hand forward.

The next moment, a hand reached out from the void dozens of miles away. It seemed slow, but it was much faster than Ao Yunhai!
It was a withered hand, covered in blood, with knuckles like rotten bones, but a dark red bloodstain slowly appeared in the palm, as if even the laws of heaven and earth were being held captive by that bloodstain.

"A scabbard should have the awareness of a scabbard... You cannot leave."

His voice was faint, and then he casually shook hands.

The next instant, Ao Yunhai's hundred-foot-long dragon body suddenly stopped, as if the entire void had suddenly frozen. His body stiffened and did not move, and his bones, flesh, blood and soul seemed to be locked by the blood seal in the palm!
"Roar!!"

Ao Yunhai roared and surged, his body crackling with blood and flames.

But that hand, like an iron clamp, held him firmly in place. His roar echoed in the blood tide, yet he could not escape!
"receive."

The blood-robed Taoist withdrew his hand, and in his palm, a crimson dragon struggled incessantly, yet could never escape that small space.

With a flick of his wrist, Ao Yunhai's body began to enlarge, eventually returning to its original size. However, it remained bound by blood-red seals, suspended in the void, unable to move.

With his other hand, he pulled the Crimson Meteor Divine Sword, which was wrapped in countless streams of blood energy, towards him, and then slowly plunged it into Ao Yunhai's head.

The scabbard, naturally, must be made of flesh and blood to seal the immortal sword.

"Roar!"

In pain, Ao Yunhai let out a frantic roar. Stimulated by the layers of blood energy, his body involuntarily activated the [Blood Sea Great Demon Divine Power].

Because this supernatural power refines the physical body, making his vitality incredibly strong, he would die immediately if he didn't use it.

Even so, the fierce sword energy constantly erupting from the Crimson Meteor Divine Sword still caused him immense pain.

"Boom!" The power of the Crimson Meteor Divine Sword was unexpectedly strong. Ao Yunhai had only just mastered this divine power and was already finding it difficult to restrain him.

"I left behind a sufficient amount of refined ancestral blood in the volcanic hell, and after absorbing so much, I've only barely achieved minor success. What a waste."

Upon seeing this, the leader of the blood-robed Taoist priests also turned sinister.

"This……"

The illusory figure wanted to argue, but seeing the unfriendly look in the blood-robed Taoist's eyes, it wisely shut its mouth.

However, you old codger are talking too much nonsense. There's only a tiny bit of refined ancestral blood in the underground fire veins. Ao Yunhai and I wandered around for so long and only found a few. What are you bragging about?

"Sir, since you are lacking in blood and energy, then let's make use of what's available."

"Within this volcanic hell, there are also many gods..."

One of the Taoist priests in the blood-red robes suddenly spoke up.

Killing a god would naturally lead to an irreconcilable feud with the divine path, but since they have already sealed off Hell, which is an unforgivable sin, they can't worry about that now.

"Kill him."

The leading Taoist nodded. He had just sensed that only a few clumps of the refined ancestral blood he had left behind remained, which meant that Ao Yunhai had absorbed them all.

This person's aptitude is too poor. After absorbing so much ancestral blood, they still haven't mastered the [Blood Sea Great Demon Divine Power].

As the leading Taoist gave the order, the blood-robed Taoists began to practice their respective techniques. Behind each of them, a blood wheel spun, and each of them chanted ancient incantations.

"Blood originates from bones, and the soul merges with the body..."

Their voices mingled together, and in the blink of an eye, they resounded throughout the entire hell. Strange and twisted blood marks floated everywhere, as if turning the entire hell into a "blood refining furnace".

When this technique is used, no matter where you hide or how concealed your soul is, as long as there is life, your primordial power will be forcibly extracted and transformed into ancestral blood.

Almost simultaneously, the gods in various places, who were already anxious about the sealing of Hell, felt strange forces of attraction coming from all directions, making them very uncomfortable.

"Why do I feel so disoriented and my soul feels so withered?"

The skin of a deity began to turn grayish-white, and the divine light surrounding him quickly dimmed.

And this phenomenon soon appeared in all the gods.

Although they were numerous, their strength and status were only at the seventh or eighth rank, so they naturally could not resist the plundering of such a great technique.

"This is... forcibly stripping away one's very essence!"

Chi Hengjun and the others also sensed the change. This bit of plundering power naturally couldn't affect them, but it would quickly drain the low-level gods dry.

The group exchanged glances; the enemy was already so arrogant that they had no way out.

"Since we have received the grace of God, and are now in a difficult situation, it is time for us to repay God."

"Gentlemen, even if we die, we will die before other gods."

Chi Hengjun suddenly took a deep breath and looked at the other three righteous gods.

"With things handled like this, I'll be too ashamed to face anyone back in Lei's Department. If I really die here, at least I'll have a good reputation."

Lord Zhizhen burst into laughter, his eyes showing no fear whatsoever.

However, just as the gods were discussing how to fight to the death, Youming, who was in an underground fire vein, sighed slightly.

"These damn remnants of the Taiming Sect have made me lose a trump card. If I don't kill them all this time, I'll despise myself."

He shook his head, then dialed a string of cheat codes.
