Chapter 1808: Awakening

Sheets of white runes surged out from the blood pool, flickering as they disappeared into the crystal coffin, vanishing without a trace.

Immediately, a cluster of white light condensed and formed in the coffin, instantly turning into a blurry white human figure.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jiao shook his sleeve in front of him without hesitation.

In an instant, a blood-colored small bottle flew out, circled slightly, and then hovered motionless in front of the white-clothed man.

Xu Jiao took a deep breath, raised one hand, and his five fingers flicked rapidly, with streaks of magic techniques disappearing into the blood-colored small bottle.

The surface of the small bottle immediately glowed with a layer of crystalline blood light. After a slight tremble, the bottle cap flew open on its own.

With a "pu" sound, a thread of blood sprayed out from the bottle mouth. Under the urging of Xu Jiao's magic technique, it shot toward the crystal coffin above the blood pool.

It disappeared in a flash!

The blood thread easily disappeared into the blood coffin.

A strange scene appeared.

The white human figure in the blood-red crystal coffin, the moment the blood thread disappeared into it, seemed to have been dyed red, suddenly turning into a blood-red color.

Witnessing this scene, the surrounding Xu family cultivators all seemed to know that the critical moment had arrived. While their spiritual light shone brightly, their chanting also grew high-pitched.

As for Xu Yuan and the other two Void Refinement stage cultivators, they pushed their blood-colored banners even harder.

In the blood-colored light above the magic array, bright red runes appeared, spinning incessantly around the blood-colored crystal coffin.

In the blood-colored vortex in the pool, a sharp cry also erupted in an instant!

Clusters of blood threads shot out densely from the blood pool, disappearing in a flash as they shot into the blood coffin, wrapping rapidly around the blood-colored human figure.

With so many blood threads shooting in at the same time, the originally blurry blood-colored human figure turned into a human-shaped blood cocoon, and as the blood threads continued to pour in from below, it grew larger and larger, and clearer and clearer.

As a result, in just a short while, the blood cocoon not only became the size of a real person, but at the head, eyes, nose, and other features were faintly visible.

Looking from afar, it was truly strange.

But if one focused their spiritual sense into it, one could discover that although blood threads were constantly pouring into the cocoon, the blood threads that had wrapped around it earlier began to turn white and wither rapidly from the inside out, disappearing into ashes one after another.

As time passed bit by bit, although the Xu family cultivators were frantically pushing the magic array, the blood threads spraying out from the blood pool could not increase much.

Under these circumstances, the volume of the human-shaped blood cocoon not only failed to continue increasing, but began to shrink bit by bit. Under the wriggling of countless blood threads, the face of the blood cocoon even showed a look of pain.

Xu Jiao and the other high-level Xu family members' expressions changed drastically, and they desperately pushed their internal magic power.

But all they could do was maintain the blood cocoon in the crystal coffin from deteriorating further.

After a while, the Xu family cultivators' faces were exceptionally pale, looking as if they had exhausted their magic power.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jiao was filled with anxiety and could no longer help but look toward Han Li in the corner of the hall.

Only to see that Han Li was still sitting motionless in his original spot, just resting his chin on one hand, looking at the group's situation with a thoughtful look.

"Senior Han..." Xu Jiao shouted with a plea, wanting to say more pleading words.

But Han Li seemed to know what the white-clothed man wanted to say and interrupted him first.

"Fellow Daoist, don't be anxious. Since I have promised to take action, I naturally have a plan in mind."

Afterward, he stood up unhurriedly and suddenly raised a hand, patting his own crown.

With a flash of black light, a black infant half a foot tall suddenly appeared.

This infant was wearing black battle armor, bare-handed, and expressionless; it was Han Li's second Nascent Soul.

Then Han Li raised his sleeve again, and a cluster of golden light shot out, turning into a small golden beast in a flash.

This small beast radiated a terrifying aura, its eyes icy cold; it was the Leopard-Lin Beast.

Seeing this infant and beast, Xu Jiao and the group of cultivators were all startled.

But before they could react, Han Li shook his sleeve and gave a low order.

"Go."

Immediately, the magic infant above his head formed a seal with both hands, and his figure flickered, disappearing from the original spot.

The next moment, the elder Xu Huo felt a sound of breaking air above his head, and the black magic infant appeared strangely from the void.

The elder's expression changed slightly, and several treasures in his body immediately stirred, his heart filled with twelve points of vigilance.

But the magic infant ignored the elder below, instead slapping his small hands toward the blood banner in front of him from afar.

After two "pu pu" sounds, two black beams of light sprayed out, disappearing into the blood banner.

The banner, which had begun to dim because the elder's magic power was insufficient, immediately hummed, and the blood light flourished again, far exceeding its previous brilliance.

Xu Huo was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, his hands changing magic techniques to cooperate with the aid above his head.

At the same time, beside the other elder, Xu Yan, a blurry figure flickered, and the small body of the Leopard-Lin Beast appeared.

Only to see this beast open its mouth, and the pure spiritual power in its body turned into a golden beam of light, which also hit another blood banner.

As for Han Li himself, after taking a seemingly ordinary step forward, a flash of cyan-white electric arcs appeared beneath his feet, and in the next instant, he instantly traversed several dozen zhang, appearing directly before Xu Yuan, the Great Elder of the Xu family.

Before the other party could show surprise, Han Li reached out a palm from his sleeve and flicked a finger toward the third blood banner.

A point of green light exploded from his fingertip, instantly turning into a green light lotus the size of a fist, which flickered and shot out.

The next moment, the green lotus disappeared into the blood banner like a phantom.

The blood banner immediately trembled violently, growing a circle larger amidst the rolling blood light, and bright red runes surged out from the banner like a tide.

Han Li's other fingers also flicked one after another.

Green lotuses shot out one after another, disappearing silently into the blood banner, turning into streams of pure spiritual power.

Xu Yuan, who had been struggling to push the banner, suddenly felt the pressure lighten.

He couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

At this time, the blood-colored vortex that had been spinning in the blood pool stopped abruptly after the magic array's power increased, but the vortex expanded by more than double, occupying most of the pool.

The blood threads spraying out from the pool, which had been one by one, now turned into clusters of blood threads shooting out amidst the flashing blood light.

The blood cocoon in the crystal coffin, which had begun to wither, suddenly seemed to have been injected with new vitality, not only quickly recovering its original volume, but as the blood threads wriggled on its surface, it began to look more and more like a graceful woman.

At this time, Xu Jiao shouted joyfully:

"Start condensing the blood body!"

Following this shout, the group of Xu family cultivators, led by Xu Yuan and the other three Void Refinement stage cultivators, all changed their magic techniques.

The blood-colored runes that had been surrounding the crystal coffin surged into the coffin like crazy, disappearing into the blood cocoon one after another.

After the human-shaped blood cocoon absorbed these runes, its surface began to turn crystalline and smooth under the flow of spiritual light, and it began to solidify bit by bit.

As a result, after a cup of tea's time, the human-shaped blood cocoon completely turned into a bright red statue-like object, floating motionless in the crystal coffin.

"It's done!"

Seeing this, Xu Jiao let out a long breath and then took the lead in withdrawing his magic technique.

The other Xu family cultivators naturally followed suit and stopped their actions.

The entire magic array immediately dimmed and stopped running.

The group of cultivators then stood up from the ground one after another and looked toward the blood-colored crystal coffin in the air.

Xu Jiao and the other high-level Xu family members stared fixedly at the object in the coffin without blinking.

At this time, Han Li moved his spiritual sense and recalled the magic infant and the Leopard-Lin Beast.

The two flew back silently, and with a flash of light, they disappeared into his sleeves without a trace.

Han Li then looked toward the sky above the blood pool with great interest.

Only to see the surface of the blood-colored statue in the crystal coffin, where crystalline light flowed incessantly. Suddenly, two soft "pa pa" sounds came, and where the statue's eyes should have been tightly closed, they suddenly shattered inch by inch, and then two holes appeared out of thin air.

And beneath the holes, two bright red beautiful eyes were revealed. After turning slightly, they emitted a strange brilliance that captured the soul.

Han Li witnessed this scene, his expression stirred slightly, but immediately he had no more expression.

And apart from him, the entire hall became silent, with the Xu family cultivators not daring to breathe as they looked at the changes in the crystal coffin.

The first two soft sounds seemed to be just a beginning.

After that pair of blood-colored beautiful eyes swept around and closed again, in the following short while, the entire blood-colored statue seemed like a fragile piece of porcelain, with countless fine cracks appearing amidst a continuous series of crisp sounds.

Then, amidst a pleasant soft hum, the layer of solidified material on the surface of the statue turned into countless fragments and fell off.

When these fragments turned into a blood mist and disappeared into thin air, a beautiful female body appeared in the crystal coffin.

Whether it was the slender legs of the body or the taut abdomen, they all radiated a fatal attraction to men. And the smooth, jade-like white skin and the jade-clean face made this body flawless.

The woman herself had her eyes closed, her arms crossed to block her chest, covering most of the more beautiful scenery. This caused many of the male cultivators in the hall to involuntarily swallow their saliva.

This was also because the Xu family cultivators in the hall were at least at the Nascent Soul stage or above, and their composure was far beyond that of ordinary cultivators; otherwise, there would probably have been quite a few who would have shown even more unsightly behavior.

Before Xu Jiao and the others could take any action, a flash of blood-colored light suddenly appeared on the woman's body, and a set of exquisite and elegant bright red palace attire appeared on the body out of thin air.

Then, the woman's long eyelashes moved, and she slowly opened her beautiful eyes, revealing a pair of blood-red pupils to everyone, flashing with cold light devoid of any emotion.
