Blood Sacrifice To Millions Of Zombies, I Will Be A Demon Cultivator In The Apocalypse

Chapter 101: Skin Banner! The Form of a Mischievous Ghost

A banner that can command an army of ghost soldiers, just imagine, it would give people a chilling sense of fear.

There are advantages and difficulties in both paths. If it weren't for the unfortunate circumstances of the withered soul ancestor, encountering the attack of a Gold Core stage sword cultivator known for their sharp attack power from the Flying Sword God Sect.

Among cultivators of the same level, there is no one who can destroy the Soul-Capturing Banner and kill him.

Although there is still some gap between the white bones nurtured by cultivators absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the zombie white bones, as long as there are enough in quantity, quantitative changes can always lead to qualitative changes. This is what Zheng Yi has always believed in.

As long as there are enough white bones in the Bone Mountain, with effort, it is always possible to refine enough bone essence.

Zheng Yi uses quantity to bridge the gap between the two, which is also the purpose of his efforts to establish a zombie flesh and blood factory in the gathering place. Everything is for his cultivation, and other conveniences of the gathering place are just incidental by-products.

Zheng Yi has been tirelessly refining the Soul-Capturing Banner, constantly going into seclusion, not seeing anyone, and only emerged from seclusion after two months.

By this time, he had completely refined the Bone Mountain of thirteen factories and warehouses, and the pole of the Soul-Capturing Banner had already turned into pure white jade material.

When touched, one can feel an extremely smooth texture, giving a feeling of lingering reluctance.

When held in the hand, it doesn't look like it was refined from white bones, but more like it was made entirely of jade, with a hint of bone spirituality.

Of course, at this point, the advancement of the Soul-Capturing Banner is not yet complete, and it still needs a large amount of human skin to supplement the banner's surface.

The seemingly thin surface of the banner is tough enough to withstand the impact of different levels of ghosts, and it is also a space in itself, storing Yin energy and forming a Yin space, with the ability to imprison and firmly seal ghosts.

One by one, the thin zombie skins slowly merge into the surface of the Soul-Capturing Banner under the effect of Zheng Yi's technique.

Under the refining of the mysterious ink aura, the nature of the Soul-Capturing Banner's surface is also changing, and the countless zombie skins have become part of the formation.

The storage of zombie skins is naturally quite abundant. Under the continuous refining of the skins, the surface of the Soul-Capturing Banner shows a glossy appearance of human skin, with moisture, just like the skin of a living person, possessing its own spirituality and the ability to stretch freely.

But the ever-changing peculiar patterns on its surface, as well as the emerging mist and the ghost claws and heads that appear, all tell others about the sinister and magical aspects of this Law Weapon, representing its powerful defensive capabilities.

The entire refining process went smoothly, whether it was the bone-like flagpole made of white jade or the flag surface that resembled human skin, both were perfectly refined.

...

Holding the newly refined magic flag that had transformed into the Soul-Capturing Flag made of white bones, Zheng Yi returned to the Immortal Domain of Dayi.

...

Having found a secluded and hidden location, Zheng Yi prepared to experiment and see just how powerful the newly refined Foundation Building Stage Law Weapon was!

...

With a gentle movement of his right hand, the white jade flagpole burst forth with a dazzling white light. As the flag surface made of human skin waved in the wind, a violent storm swept through the heavens and earth, and a surging aura of death roared out from the Soul-Capturing Flag.

...

In the trembling space, above the Soul-Capturing Flag, a ferocious skull appeared, immense and hollow-eyed. From the depths of its empty eye sockets, a suffocating black light shot out, bringing down a deathly aura that covered this side of the world.

...

Roar!

...

A silent roar turned into a raging gale.

...

A gush of deathly aura instantly filled the entire valley. Wherever the surging power passed, rocks flew and vegetation withered, leaving behind a scene of death.

...

When the heavens and earth calmed down and the valley returned to tranquility...

...

The valley, once lush with trees and overgrown with vegetation, had turned into a silent and dead valley. Burn marks from the sweep of the deathly aura could be seen on the ground, presenting a completely different scene from before.

...

"The power is acceptable!"

...

It had to be said that the successfully upgraded Soul-Capturing Flag not only had a better appearance, but its power had also increased by more than ten times. The erupting deathly aura even surprised Zheng Yi himself, surpassing many High Grade Law Weapons.

...

After all, no one could provide the Soul-Capturing Flag with as many cultivator bone sources to absorb. The flagpole strengthened by zombie bone sources was more sturdy, and the flag surface made of human skin had a greater capacity to bear.

...

"Next, I need to enhance the ghosts inside the Soul-Capturing Flag."

...

Previously, because the Soul-Capturing Flag had not advanced, Zheng Yi didn't dare to easily upgrade the level of the ghosts. Under the immense pressure it was already bearing, the Soul-Capturing Flag couldn't withstand the power of Foundation Building Stage ghosts. If they were forcibly included, the result could be imagined.

Now, with the advancement of the Soul-Capturing Banner of White Bones, there are no more concerns. The level of the ghost creatures must be raised.

Zheng Yi's strength has long surpassed the threshold for breaking through the Foundation Building Stage. The only reason he is currently restricted from advancing is that the Blood Lotus Ancestor Lotus in the Blood Flesh Lotus Pond has not been opened. Without this external condition, he cannot cultivate the ancient technique, Blood Lotus Scripture.

However, this does not mean that Zheng Yi cannot continue to enhance his own strength. Compared to other cultivators and demonic cultivators in the Great Yi Immortal Domain, he has a way to constantly strengthen his external power, relying on an entire doomsday world.

To pursue longevity and compete for resources, one must fight against others. Even in the Demon Realm, even if you want to hide like a turtle, others may not spare you. Li Mingqi's incident gave him a good lesson.

This has made Zheng Yi have a stronger pursuit of strength.

This is also one of the main reasons why Zheng Yi hopes to quickly break through the Foundation Building Stage.

Once the ghost creatures in the Soul-Capturing Banner advance, devouring thousands of ghost creatures, advancing to the Ghost King, and the Soul-Capturing Banner advancing to the Foundation Building Stage Law Weapon, Zheng Yi will undoubtedly possess the power of a Foundation Building Stage cultivator.

Although it cannot compare to a true Foundation Building Stage cultivator, the power he possesses is definitely worth looking forward to.

When encountering trouble in the future, Zheng Yi doesn't need to take action himself. He can release the Ghost King in the Soul-Capturing Banner to solve it on his own.

...

In the doomsday world, in the northern direction of the gathering place, there is a terrifying ghost nest in the underground supermarket ruins according to the available information.

This is the data Zheng Yi obtained this morning.

In order to explore that space, the Blood Warriors directly lost three members.

It should be noted that the Blood Warriors in the gathering place now are not the same as before. They have all been tempered by blood and fire.

Moreover, the gathering place provides them with cultivation resources all year round, refined from various zombie flesh and blood, zombie crystal cores, and even a small number of blood lotus seeds from the Blood Flesh Lotus Pond are now being released for exchange.

This has also rapidly increased the overall combat level of the Blood Warriors in the gathering place, and their methods have become diverse. They also wield firearms and each possess formidable combat power.

Even if they can't win, relying on the speed, physical strength, endurance, stamina, and the ability to soar into the sky with bat wings, they still haven't escaped. Obviously, there are extremely terrifying ghost creatures hidden inside.

In order to avoid further loss of combat power, and because Zheng Yi has been searching for various ghost nests recently to accumulate resources for the advancement of the main soul in the Soul-Capturing Banner to the Ghost King, he came here as soon as he received this information.

Now is the time to explore that ghost nest!

Zheng Yi went alone, without bringing any subordinates. Since he had already made markings in advance, he went straight to the ghost nest.

When he arrived there, he found that it was a huge shopping mall that had suffered artillery attacks and collapsed severely.

The entrance to the underground supermarket was covered by the ruins of various buildings, leaving only a low gap for a person to bend down and enter.

Walking through the collapsed narrow passage and stepping into the underground supermarket, a bone-chilling coldness immediately surged.

The originally silent underground space was now filled with icy coldness, and there was a surging black mist inside, covering the entire underground space, giving people a strange feeling as if they were in a different dimension.

Standing in this gloomy and chilling underground space, Zheng Yi's face did not change at all. Instead, he looked at the range covered by the black mist with great interest, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

"A ghostly realm? Similar to the Netherworld? No wonder three Blood Warriors have fallen here in succession."

In Zheng Yi's perception, this place is indeed not an ordinary area. The surging ghost aura has directly transformed the surrounding environment and eroded the space, forming a kind of barrier-like function, turning this place into a terrifying ghost nest.

No wonder the Blood Warriors have been repeatedly defeated and even fallen here.

This is not something that ordinary evolvers can deal with.

It has to be said that the formation of this area has made Zheng Yi feel surprised.

According to reason, even in the Great Yi Immortal Domain, it is quite difficult to form such a ghost nest. The required conditions are extremely harsh, and without decades or even hundreds of years, a ghost domain barrier cannot be formed.

But in the doomsday world, these places seem to suddenly appear, always giving Zheng Yi a very strange feeling.

There is definitely some deep underlying reason here, but Zheng Yi's strength is not enough to comprehend it, and he hasn't even found a trace of it.

However, what he is more concerned about now is that once the Guiyu forms, the strength of the ghosts inside will be greatly enhanced.

As long as they are within the Ghost Domain barrier, the power of these ghosts will skyrocket. It will be difficult to kill the ghosts inside unless the entire Guiyu is destroyed.

Zheng Yi is very familiar with this kind of place.

Because in a sense, this huge Ghost Domain is like a naturally formed Soul-capturing Banner.

For ghosts, the Guiyu is more like a safe zone that can quickly provide a large amount of ghost energy to replenish their consumption, making it difficult to kill them.

Zheng Yi even suspects that Law Weapons like the Soul-capturing Banner and the Yinming Flag were possibly created by ancient cultivators who studied similar terrains.

Zheng Yi's sharp gaze scans the surroundings, but he remains vigilant and slightly wary.

"Fortunately, it seems that this place has not fully formed yet, it is still just a small-scale Guiyu!"

After investigating for a while, Zheng Yi's heart calms down a bit. The real Guiyu must condense into one entity, forming a physical and spatial presence.

But this place hasn't fully evolved yet, some areas haven't completely formed into one, leaving behind loopholes, not yet fully successful.

If the Guiyu forms, Zheng Yi may have to stop there and wait for it to impact the Foundation Building Stage before seeking revenge!

After all, once the Guiyu forms, there is a high possibility that a true Ghost King will be born inside.

Coupled with being in the Ghost Domain space, their strength will be enhanced, and the Innate will be invincible, making it very difficult for Zheng Yi to do anything.

Roar!

Before Zheng Yi could think too much, the surging black mist rolled in, and countless resentful spirits and evil ghosts emerged from the darkness, looking ferocious as they lunged towards Zheng Yi.

Among them, the three Blood Warriors transformed into evil ghosts, their eyes now completely red, roaring as they attacked.

"Sure enough, an unexpected event has occurred!"

Since the Guiyu has appeared in its embryonic form, it is not surprising that the three Blood Warriors have fallen.

Zheng Yi waved the bone Soul-capturing Banner in his right hand, and the Blood-clothed Ghost led a large group of Yin soldiers, forming a neat formation to meet the incoming ghost tide.

Because it is still the embryonic form of the Guiyu, the Blood-clothed Ghost and the Yin soldiers are all ghosts and will not be greatly suppressed by the Guiyu.

If the swarming resentful spirits and evil ghosts can be compared to irregular scattered troops, then the Yin soldiers are the regular army, with dense formations and sharp ghost weapons, continuously causing damage to the resentful spirits and fierce ghosts.

The sharp claws of the resentful spirits and fierce ghosts only scrape against the thick ghost energy armor, sparking but unable to harm their bodies.

The Blood-clothed Ghost has turned into a killing machine, wherever it goes, it brings forth a sky full of cold light, directly tearing apart and devouring the strange-looking ghosts, turning them into its own energy.

Compared to the advancement of cultivators, the advancement of ghosts is extremely primitive. Aside from absorbing the spiritual treasures of the heavens and earth, the most normal evolutionary path is to constantly devour other ghosts, replenishing the source of ghost energy, and thus obtaining abundant resources for advancement.

When releasing the Blood-clothed Ghost, Zheng Yi had already told it to devour at will.

The Blood-clothed Ghost, seemingly hungry for a long time, displayed a strong desire to attack. Every ghost it encountered was torn apart and then directly devoured. Its crimson eyes were filled with a thirst for slaughter.

It must be said that after this Blood-clothed Ghost erupted with its inherent ferocity, it became so terrifying that it directly destroyed the ghosts blocking its path and entered deep into the Guiyu.

This hidden ghost nest underground has obviously accumulated a considerable number of ghosts, hundreds or even thousands of them. In terms of quantity, they have a strong suppressing effect on the side of the Blood-clothed Ghost.

However, as the battle progresses, the situation completely reverses. The Yin soldiers not only withstand the impact of the ghost tide but also receive a considerable boost.

Without spending too much time, the Yin soldiers led by the Blood-clothed Ghost have almost slaughtered the outermost resentful spirits and fierce ghosts, continuously attacking the depths of the Guiyu.

Roar!

A terrifying roar finally resounds, indicating the presence of the most powerful entity within the entire Guiyu.

Lurking here all along, waiting for the Ghost Domain to be complete so that it can transform into the Ghost King and become a terrifying creature of a different form.

But now that Zheng Yi has barged in, it's unlikely to have this opportunity anymore.

Upon seeing its subordinates being slaughtered, the terrifying ghost creature couldn't sit still any longer. With a surging evil aura, it shook this space and fiercely rushed out.

"The prediction was correct. This is the ghost creature that has caught the attention of this embryonic Ghost Domain and has the potential to transform into the Ghost King."

Only to see a fierce ghost, over ten feet tall, with a green face and fangs, covered in black armor, charging out towards the Blood Robe Ghost and the group of Yin Soldiers, emitting a terrifying roar.

Even Zheng Yi's body trembled slightly, unable to stabilize himself due to the impact of the terrifying ghost aura.

Perhaps this ghost creature, because the embryonic Ghost Domain has not yet been completed, has not officially become a Ghost King comparable to a Foundation Building Stage cultivator. However, in this Ghost Domain space, it is an overwhelmingly dominant existence in the face of other creatures.

Sensing the crisis, the Blood Robe Ghost quickly manipulated the Yin Soldiers to reassemble, forming a formation with the Blood Robe Ghost at the center, connecting the aura of the Yin Soldiers together, forming a whole.

With the combined aura of numerous Yin Soldiers, the aura of the Blood Robe Ghost surged, its body expanded, its hands grew larger, and its ghost claws became huge. It barely touched the threshold of the Ghost King, breaking through the barrier of the Qi Refining stage.

Of course, judging from the surging aura from the Blood Robe Ghost, it is still somewhat unstable. Therefore, it has not truly reached the Foundation Building Stage, just like the fierce ghost, both are considered to be at the standard of half-step Foundation Building Stage.

Roar!

The black-armored Yin Ghost roared again, showing great anger towards the Blood Robe Ghost that dared to confront it in this Ghost Domain.

Roar!

The Blood Robe Ghost roared back without showing any weakness, rushing towards the black-armored Yin Ghost first, its huge ghost claws bringing up a gust of wind, directly aiming for the head of the black-armored Yin Ghost.

Bang!

The black-armored Yin Ghost reached out its hand to meet it, ghost claws against ghost claws, directly colliding with each other. The terrifying power generated caused the Blood Robe Ghost to be knocked back.

The orderly formation of Yin Soldiers collapsed directly, unable to resist the force of the collision. The terrifying power directly burst their bodies, turning into eerie ghost aura.

"It's still not enough!"

Zheng Yi, as expected, shook his head, casually waving the Soul-Capturing Banner made of white bones. The depleted Yin Soldiers were replenished once again, transforming back into an orderly formation.

The dissipated ghost aura on the Blood Robe Ghost quickly solidified and it pounced again.

Obviously, even with the support of the Yin Soldiers, the Blood Robe Ghost is still no match for the black-armored Yin Ghost.

After each collision, chaos ensued, and the Yin Soldiers kept exploding.

But with the replenishment from the Soul-Capturing Banner, the Blood Robe Ghost, like an indestructible cockroach, maintained an extremely vigorous state of battle.

Fighting and losing, losing and fighting, persevering, the aura on its body became solidified in this continuous battle, and its strength gradually increased.

Roar!

Realizing that Zheng Yi was behind all this, the ghost creature, after blasting the Blood Robe Ghost away with one strike, directly pounced towards Zheng Yi, bringing along a ferocious ghost aura, opening its terrifying mouth as if it wanted to swallow Zheng Yi in one bite.

Because it sensed that Zheng Yi's body was filled with extremely abundant blood essence, if it could devour this prey, it could quickly replenish its origin and completely perfect this Ghost Domain.

It would also become the king within this independent Ghost Domain, becoming a nearly immortal and terrifying existence.

"Am I really so easy to bully?!"

Zheng Yi extended his right hand, and a flame rose in his palm. It seemed like an insignificant flame, but it brought an extremely terrifying temperature.

The scorching flame licked the space, carrying a frenzy of heat.

This flame was not the Ink Spirit Evil Fire, but a new ability that Zheng Yi obtained, derived from the Heart Fire, the ability of the Fire-Spitting Infant in the heart-shaped gourd shrine.
