"The Blood Demon Ancestor?!"

When Zhang Shaozhong heard this name, his heart skipped a beat.

Just from that nickname, you can tell he's no good!

He glanced at Ling Qingxue's grave expression, then at Ye Meier's gritted teeth, and couldn't help but ask, "Blood Demon Ancestor? Is he very powerful? Does he... have a grudge against you?"

"It's more than just enmity!"

Ye Meier spat, her eyes filled with malice, "That old bastard cultivates the most vicious Blood Scripture, using the essence, blood, and souls of billions of living beings to practice his skills. In our area, he's a demon that everyone wants to kill! Back then, the righteous and demonic paths joined forces to besiege him, but he still managed to escape! I never expected... that his claws would actually reach here!"

Ling Qingxue added in a low voice, "The Blood Demon Ancestor's cultivation has reached the Tribulation Transcending stage, and he is only one step away from ascending to the Demon Realm."

Its methods are bizarre, and it can create countless clones, making it extremely difficult to completely eliminate.

This 'Blood Soul Pill' contains pure blood essence and soul power; it is the hallmark of his lineage, used to cultivate clones or enhance cultivation.

She paused, looking at the blood pill that was still slowly spinning, her brows furrowed: "The appearance of this pill in this realm is no accident. I'm afraid... it's related to how we tore through the barrier and escaped here that day."

Zhang Shaozhong gasped! The Tribulation Transcending Stage?!

Just one step away from ascension?! What the hell does that mean? Ling Qingxue was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul in her prime, and Ye Meier is almost at the Heavenly Demon King level, still a long way from the Tribulation Transcending stage!

If the Blood Demon Ancestor were to come in his true form, wouldn't he wipe them all out with a single breath?

"It can't be the original body."

Ling Qingxue seemed to see through his thoughts and shook her head, saying, "The most likely possibility is that a wisp of his spirit, or a 'Blood Soul Pill' like this, drifted into this world through the fluctuations of the barrier."

Ye Meier stared at the blood pill, her eyes flashing: "Even if it's just a wisp of spirit or a seed, it's troublesome enough! This old ghost is best at infiltration and erosion. Give him some time and resources, and he can spread like a plague!"

The evil spirits of Qingcheng Mountain were probably born from the influence of the aura emanating from this blood pill!

Su Lan and her team members stood a little distance away, listening to their conversation. Although they couldn't understand some of the terms, words like "Tribulation Stage," "Blood Demon Ancestor," and "Destroy the World" still made them turn pale, realizing that the seriousness of the problem far exceeded their imagination.

"Then... what do we do now?"

Zhang Shaozhong looked at the strange blood pill, feeling it was a hot potato. "What should we do with this thing? Destroy it?"

Ling Qingxue pondered and said, "The Blood Soul Pill contains a vast amount of energy and has a trace of origin connection with the Blood Demon Ancestor. Forcibly destroying it might alert the enemy and even attract its attention. It needs to be sealed with a special method."

Ye Meier, however, offered a different opinion: "Sealing it? That's too passive! If you ask me, it would be better to let the head of the household swallow it!"

"What?!"

Zhang Shaozhong was startled. "Swallowed it?! Big sister, you must be joking! This thing doesn't look like anything good!"

Ling Qingxue also frowned and looked at Ye Meier.

Ye Meier explained, "I'm not crazy! Your chaotic energy can even devour and refine that old ghost's pseudo-core. This mere blood core, although its energy is pure, is uncontrolled, so I might be able to handle it too!"

This is incredibly nourishing! If you could refine it, it would be equivalent to ten years of arduous cultivation! Moreover, it would sever one of that old ghost's foundations in this realm!

Zhang Shaozhong was somewhat tempted, but also a little apprehensive.

This is the stuff of an old demon in the Tribulation Transcending stage. What if there's a trap inside?

Ling Qingxue pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "What Mei'er said, though risky, is a method. The chaotic energy is profound and might be worth a try. But we must be extremely cautious. Mei'er and I will protect you, and we must stop immediately if anything goes wrong."

Seeing that both big shots had spoken, Zhang Shaozhong steeled his heart: "Damn it! The bold get rich, the timid starve! I'll just swallow it!"

He activated the Chaos Technique, carefully extending his hand. Chaotic energy enveloped his palm as he reached for the floating Blood Soul Pill.

The moment his fingers touched the blood pill, the blood pill trembled violently, its red light surged, and a violent and greedy intent tried to invade through his arm!

"snort!"

Zhang Shaozhong grunted and fully activated the chaotic energy. The gray energy flow was like a millstone, instantly crushing the invading intent!

He grabbed the Blood Pill in his hand and could feel the surging energy within it flowing like magma.

Without further hesitation, he stuffed the blood pill into his mouth!

The blood pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, as if one had swallowed a mouthful of scalding magma!

A violent, pure energy, yet imbued with a strong sense of bloodlust and resentment, exploded within his body in an instant!

It was several times more powerful than when it devoured the Ghost King's pseudo-core!

"Ugh—!"

Zhang Shaozhong let out a painful roar, his skin instantly turned crimson, his blood vessels bulged like writhing dragons, and blood seeped from his seven orifices!

He felt as if his body and soul were about to be burst and eroded by this energy!

"Calm your mind! Guide the chaotic energy!"

Ling Qingxue's cold voice rang in his mind like an alarm bell.

Ye Mei'er immediately placed her hand on his back, and pure demonic energy surged in to help him suppress the violent energy.

Zhang Shaozhong gritted his teeth, almost breaking them, and desperately circulated the Chaos Technique!

The gray chaotic energy, like a hungry beast, pounced on the blood-red energy, devouring, tearing, and transforming it!

This refining process was more difficult and dangerous than any before!

The Blood Demon Ancestor's energy was extremely stubborn and strange, carrying strong corrosive and negative emotions, constantly impacting his meridians and sea of ​​consciousness!
