Blood Ice Rose Trap Formation.
It's a heretical technique that Xu Tao learned not by choice, but by necessity. It's a trap formation that encloses the target(s) within an ice area, before being layered by petals to increase the cube's toughness.
As soon as the rosebud is formed, the real threat of the formation begins.
From all the living entities within it, the Blood Ice Rose will absorb their life force slowly. This energy would then further enhance the walls by slowly painting them a deep red—like blood seeping through ice.
When the entire ice rose has turned blood red, that means the entities trapped inside have already lost their lives... But it wouldn't be heretical if it ended with just that.
The formation wouldn't just rob the target's life—but also their souls.
All of it would then become available as energy, as Qi, for the caster to absorb.
It's a technique that's just as bad as Demonic Cultivation, which requires live sacrifices!
