Refining Essence Blood

However, he then thought of a crucial question and looked at Zhou Ming.

"Brother, with the physical strength of those top-tier Great Witch, they should be able to refine the Essence Blood of the twelve of us with some effort."

"But... elder brother, you have already Attain the Primordial Chaos. Your Essence Blood contain the ultimate principles of the Hunyuan Great Dao. How terrifying is its energy!"

"I'm afraid even an ordinary Great Witch wouldn't be able to withstand it."

"If you're not careful, the power contained within your Essence Blood could cause your body to explode and you to die!"

This is indeed a big problem.

The Essence Blood of Saint are no ordinary substance.

To send a Great Witch to refine it is tantamount to sending an ant to swallow a sun.

There's no need to worry about that.

Zhou Ming waved his hand, clearly having already considered this.

"At that time, I will personally intervene to help it refine."

"Let Xing Tian refine this drop of my Essence Blood."

"Xing Tian?"

Upon hearing this, Di Jiang nodded.

"Xing Tian is indeed the strongest in terms of physical strength and fighting Great Witch among our Wu Clan, besides us."

"He is the most suitable person to refine your Essence Blood, elder brother."

"Then we'll get on it right away!"

"Go ahead." Zhou Ming nodded.

"This matter is of great importance; the sooner the better."

Without further hesitation, the Ancestral Wu rose and left the Pangu Hall, each returning to their tribe to select suitable candidates.

Pangu Hall.

The Ancestral Wu returned to their respective tribes and selected the most elite Great Witch.

These Great Witch, each exuding Baleful Qi aura and possessing formidable physical strength, were the backbone of the Wu Clan.

Xing Tian, Chi You, Kuafu, Hou Yi, Jiu Feng, Feng Bo, Yu Shi... each of them was a renowned top Great Witch in the Wu Clan.

"Brother, we have already chosen the Great Witch."

Di Jiang stepped forward and said respectfully.

Zhou Ming nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the thirteen proud and upright Great Witch below the steps, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Very good."

He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"You probably already know why I sent you here."

"Reporting to the Ancestral Wu, we are aware of the situation!"

The Great Witch, led by Xing Tian, responded in unison, their voices booming like bells, causing the hall to vibrate.

"Very well, since that's the case, I won't waste any more words."

Zhou Ming paused, his tone becoming serious, "But there's one thing I must make clear to you beforehand."

"After you refine our Essence Blood, you will be qualified to take our place in setting up the formation."

"You are required to remain in the Pangu Hall for an extended period and are not permitted to leave easily."

"You may leave the Pangu Hall only after this Tribulation ends, or until my Wu Clan poses no further threat."

"This will be very boring and tedious for you. Can you do it?"

"Rest assured, Ancestral Wu!"

Xing Tian took a step forward, his chest pounding loudly.

"For the sake of the Wu Clan, let alone staying in the Pangu Hall, even if it means going through fire and water, I, Xing Tian, will not flinch!"

"For the sake of the Wu Clan!"

The Great Witch, including Chi You Kuafu, roared in unison, their fighting spirit surging.

"Excellent! Truly a fine young man of my Wu Clan!"

A smile appeared on Zhou Ming's face.

"Then let's begin. Xing Tian, you come with me. The rest of you, follow the other Ancestral Wu."

"Yes!"

The Great Witch accepted the order and dispersed, following their respective Ancestral Wu.

Zhou Ming then led Xing Tian towards his secluded chamber where he usually secluded himself.

The secret chamber was empty and desolate, with only a Cushion in the center and a faint Dao Rhyme permeating the air.

Zhou Ming didn't say much, but simply extended his finger and gently touched his chest.

A drop of Purple Gold blood slowly appeared.

Hunyuan Essence Blood!

Zhou Ming waved to Xing Tian.

"Come over."

Xing Tian stepped forward as instructed, his expression a mixture of respect and excitement.

He could sense that this tiny drop of Essence Blood contained terrifying power.

His heart was pounding, and his breathing became rapid.

He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could change his Fate!

But the prerequisite is that he can withstand it.

"I will assist you in refining it." Zhou Ming held the Essence Blood in his palm, his expression serious.

"This drop of Essence Blood contains my Hunyuan Great Dao. I will help you suppress its most violent power and guide you in refining it."

"But even with my help, this process will still be extremely dangerous for you, with a slim chance of survival."

"If you can't hold on, tell me immediately, and I can remove it. Remember, don't force yourself!"

Are you ready?

Xing Tian stared at the drop of blood, swallowed hard, his eyes filled with boundless fighting spirit, not fear.

"My Ancestral Wu, I understand!"

"I'm ready!"

"Start!"

Zhou Ming flicked his finger, and the drop of Essence Blood transformed into a stream of Purple Gold light, instantly disappearing into Xing Tian's brow.

"Ah--!"

A piercing scream suddenly erupted from Xing Tian's mouth!

The instant his Essence Blood entered his body, an indescribable, terrifying power exploded within him!

Even Xing Tian, Great Witch known for his physical strength and unwavering will, couldn't help but let out a mournful roar.

His skin instantly turned crimson, and veins bulged and twisted wildly beneath his skin like writhing dragons.

"Ughhhhh--!"

A heart-wrenching roar burst from his throat, his bones cracking and popping, as if he were about to be completely crushed by this violent force.

Zhou Ming frowned slightly, then immediately stretched out his finger and tapped Xing Tian's forehead.

He formed hand seals, and streams of gentle yet immense magical Magic Power flowed into Xing Tian's body.

He carefully channeled the raging energy, protecting Xing Tian's heart and True Spirit.

With Zhou Ming's help, Xing Tian's condition improved slightly.

He endured the excruciating pain that seemed to tear his soul apart and began to painstakingly guide that power according to Zhou Ming's instructions.

This process was extremely dangerous.

Several times, that force nearly got out of control and almost completely burst Xing Tian's body.

"Xing Tian, if you can't take it, give up! Your physical body has reached its limit!"

He could protect Xing Tian from death, but if the Origin Essence of his physical body was damaged, then this Zaohua would become a calamity.

"No... I... I can still hold on!"

Xing Tian's teeth were shattered, and blood and foam spilled from the corners of his mouth. His voice was hoarse, like a broken gong.

How could he give up?

Outside the sealed room.

Pangu Hall, the other Twelve Ancestral Witches were also selecting Great Witch Protectors for them.

Compared to Xing Tian, the process of these Great Witch refining the Essence Blood of the Ancestral Wu was also painful, but it was still within their tolerance range.

Suddenly, all the Ancestral Wu sensed something and looked in the direction of Zhou Ming's secluded chamber.

A terrifying aura, which made them all tremble with fear, was emanating from there, sometimes violent, sometimes chaotic.

"Hiss--Big Brother, the power of this drop of Essence Blood is terrifying!"

Zhu Rong clicked his tongue, his face filled with shock.

"Is Xing Tian going to burst from being stretched?"

Shut your mouth!

Gong Gong glared at him and cursed him irritably.

"With the eldest brother personally protecting him, what could possibly happen?"

"I'm just worried!" Zhu Rong retorted, sticking out her neck.

"None of us can see through our elder brother's cultivation level. A single drop of his Essence Blood is far too dangerous for Great Witch."
