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

Chapter 105: Soul Surge! Sensation

In fact, it only took a moment for Zheng Yi to refine the Blood Lotus Ancestor Lotus.

But even with the concealment of the protective array and the hidden Qi technique, the unique fragrance leaked out and spread to the surrounding air outside the array when the lotus appeared.

Although the scent was already very faint, it couldn't escape the noses of those demonic cultivators whose perception was sharper than that of dogs.

Many people felt their blood boiling and their spirits refreshed the moment they smelled the fragrance.

Ordinary independent cultivators didn't have any abnormal reactions, but several high-level Qi Refining cultivators' eyes lit up with excitement and greed, and they instantly revealed themselves and rushed towards the Qi family.

"No mistake, there really is a treasure born in this small Qi family..."

"What kind of Spiritual Treasure is it? It actually has such a strong blood aura? If I can snatch it, there's hope for Foundation Building."

"Damn it! These people are crazy, daring to directly attack the protective array."

"Everyone, gather and block the gate, don't let them take a step across the Thunder Pool!"

The moment this fragrance appeared, it not only attracted the attention of those ill-intentioned independent cultivators outside, but also the blood cultivators of the Qi family, who felt refreshed and delighted.

Compared to others, the fragrance of the Blood Lotus Ancestor Lotus had a more deadly allure to these Blood Demon Dao cultivators.

However, at this moment, several figures shot out like lightning and rushed towards the Qi family, causing the blood cultivators' expressions to change drastically.

After the transformation, the Qi family members, like the blood bats, were sensitive to the aura. Although their strength was insufficient, they could clearly sense the terrifying power of these sudden figures.

Each one of them was at the high-level Qi Refining stage, and not just ordinary high-level Qi Refining cultivators, but the most formidable kind at the Qi Refining stage.

Moreover, compared to other demonic cultivators who just wanted to take advantage of the situation, these high-level Qi Refining cultivators had stronger intentions and were heading straight for the backyard.

They were here for the place where the adults were building their Foundation, so they must be stopped.

Boom! Boom!

The Qi family members each took out a drop of Essence Blood Pill and swallowed it, instantly surging with power, each person's cultivation level increasing by one or two layers.

These Essence Blood Pills were Blood Dao Spirit Medicine cultivated using the flesh and blood of zombies from the doomsday world, refined with the alchemy techniques of the Dayi Immortal Domain to replenish essence blood.

Due to absorbing a large amount of essence from zombie flesh and blood, they grew extremely quickly and had extremely strong medicinal power, and could only be used by blood cultivators.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would be difficult to control the violent blood energy, which would not only be of no benefit but would also worsen their injuries.

The sudden surge in strength made these blood cultivators fearless and confront the high-level Qi Refining cultivators.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, one side trying to forcefully break through the protective array, the other side trying to stop them, and the two sides were like water and fire, with irreconcilable contradictions.

However, none of those who could forcefully break through at this time were simple characters. They were all ruthless individuals with ruthless methods and even harsher attacks. Even if several blood cultivators joined forces, they could only block one person.

But at this moment, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Demonic cultivators were all skilled at taking advantage of chaos. Taking advantage of the intense battle between the two sides, many cultivators suddenly rushed into the crowd, and a few even slipped through and rushed to the family's protective array.

In an instant, someone concealed their strength and erupted with powerful combat power, attacking the protective array, their eyes sharp and ready to break through at any moment.

Bang!

Before that high-level Qi Refining cultivator could prepare to charge in, the impact force generated by the collision sent him flying back into the crowd, causing chaos.

"Damn it! Your Qi family's protective array is actually a Foundation Building-level array!"

One of the high-level Qi Refining cultivators, who appeared to be in his sixties or seventies with a goatee, had a gloomy expression, and even the blood at the corner of his mouth hadn't been wiped away.

As a demonic cultivator, no one was unaware of how much financial resources were needed for a Foundation Building stage protective array. Not to mention the foundation of the array, just the daily maintenance costs were astronomical figures for ordinary independent cultivators.

When did this Qi family, which had an inconspicuous reputation and was just a small family with a barren black iron mine, have such financial resources?

Or is there someone behind the Qi family, acting as their puppet?

Otherwise, how could they suddenly rise up? How could they raise so many fearless Blood Demon Dao assassins? How could they gather such a huge sum of money? They have a defensive formation at the Foundation Building Stage level to protect their residence.

For a moment, not only the high-level Qi Refining cultivators, but even the restless and scheming demonic cultivators who were planning to take advantage of the situation, were held back by their racing hearts.

Many people were preparing to observe further.

If those high-level Qi Refining cultivators could directly attack the Qi family, they would not hesitate to follow suit and plunder the wealth of a cultivator who was in the process of breaking through to the Foundation Building Stage. It would definitely be a huge income.

But now it was obvious that the Qi family was not weak. Their methods were strange, and even with several high-level Qi Refining cultivators working together, they couldn't break through the Qi family's defensive formation. Therefore, for a while, no one dared to make a move.

The situation once again reached a stalemate.

Qi Lin organized the blood cultivators of the family and rearranged their formation to block these foreign cultivators.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I, Daoist Huang Hu, would arrive a little late and find such a lively scene here."

"I apologize to the Qi family for my late arrival. The Qi family suddenly had someone breaking through to the Foundation Building Stage, and we nearby cultivators were delighted to have another Fellow Daoist join us."

"May I ask, who is the Fellow Daoist who broke through to the Foundation Building Stage this time?!"

Suddenly, a cultivator appeared in the sky, with a deep aura, wearing a yellow robe. Before the person arrived, their voice had already drifted over, followed by an invisible pressure that suppressed everything.

Qi Lin's pupils suddenly contracted, and he slightly clenched his fists. His palms were sweaty. He was not unfamiliar with this Daoist Huang Hu. He had been famous for at least thirty years and was a well-known expert among the surrounding Independent Cultivators.

Especially since he and the other two Independent Cultivator Foundation Building cultivators jointly managed the Black Cliff Mountain, they were chosen as representatives of the Independent Cultivator Alliance of the surrounding major forces.

Facing such a terrifyingly famous Foundation Building cultivator, even though the other party was just an Independent Cultivator, the mountain-like pressure still made Qi Lin feel immense pressure.

He didn't dare to show himself and directly retreated back into the protective formation of the residence. With clasped fists and a slight bow, he said, "I am grateful for Daoist Huang Hu's concern. As a subordinate, I dare not speak lightly."

"After my lord comes out of seclusion, I will personally report and ask for forgiveness if there are any improper actions."

The gaze of all the demonic cultivators present focused on Daoist Huang Hu as he descended. No one had expected that in the face of such a famous Foundation Building senior, the new leader of the Qi family would be so brave as to refuse directly.

For a while, many people looked at the Qi family with meaningful eyes.

Qi Lin, a small Qi Refining family, had such confidence. It could only mean that someone was supporting them from behind, and they were not afraid of Daoist Huang Hu.

A sense of oppression filled the air, and everyone's gaze turned to Daoist Huang Hu, waiting for his answer.

"Hahaha? It seems that I, Huang Hu, have been absent from Black Cliff Mountain for too long, and many juniors no longer take me seriously."

"Or perhaps it's because you have lost the protection of the Assimilating Soul Sect, and your small Qi Refining family has found a new backer? I'm curious to see who can support this facade. Who is this Fellow Daoist?"

As he spoke, Daoist Huang Hu's wide yellow robe fluttered. His gaze flickered with a certain yellow light, and an even more terrifying pressure descended, directly targeting Qi Lin.

The gap between the two sides was too great. The Foundation Building Stage and the Qi Refining stage cultivators were fundamentally different beings.

Even though they were separated by the protective formation, under this kind of soul-shaking intimidation, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, directly landing on Qi Lin.

During this period of time, he had been living a comfortable life, like a wealthy man in the mortal world. But at this moment, his face turned red, feeling as if a mountain had crashed down on him. Blood even started to trickle from the corners of his mouth.

Although his plump body swayed slightly, he still stood firmly, his gaze meeting Daoist Huang Hu's without answering, but his attitude was already clear.

Qi Lin had no other choice.

On one hand, the entire Qi family was deeply tied to Zheng Yi. They rose and fell together. The Qi family's heritage and his own prosperity were all tied to Zheng Yi's thigh, and they couldn't be separated. The interests were deeply intertwined.

On the other hand, he didn't think that Zheng Yi couldn't overcome the mere Foundation Building stage. With a Foundation Building Stage cultivator supporting him, plus the protective formation, this Daoist Huang Hu, although famous, still couldn't really harm him.

Qi Lin was also a cunning person, naturally understanding that the Qi family used to be a subordinate of the Assimilating Soul Sect, but after all, they carried the sect's banner and had a lot of room to maneuver.

Now, the high-level combat power of the Assimilating Soul Sect has been greatly depleted, and many forces around are expanding their influence, wanting to encroach on the territory left by the Assimilating Soul Sect. The Qi family belongs to the outermost force and is the first to bear the brunt. Today's incident is just the beginning.

It seems that Daoist Huanghu was attracted by someone from the Qi family who broke through the Foundation Building Stage, but it is actually a test.

The purpose is obvious, to cause destruction if possible, and preferably to disrupt the breakthrough of the Foundation Building Stage cultivator in the Qi family.

Under this immense pressure, with external Foundation Building Stage cultivators eyeing them, it is easy for ordinary cultivators to fail in their breakthrough.

At this time, the other party naturally does not want another Foundation Building Stage cultivator from the Qi family, adding variables.

If they cannot successfully break through, then the Qi family will be in danger today and undoubtedly become the meat that various forces fight over.

Boom!

Just when everyone was watching, Daoist Huanghu stood in front of the Qi family's door with his wide robe and sleeves, when a powerful soul fluctuation suddenly rose from the backyard of the Qi family.

The surging power of the soul was like a raging tide, penetrating the protective array, rushing straight up, tearing through the sky, and sweeping out with invisible divine might.

Puff!

Daoist Huanghu, with his eyes flashing with deep yellow light, changed his expression. His hands crossed in front of him, but in the next moment, as if struck by an invisible heavy hammer, he was directly blasted away without any preparation, his sleeves shattered like yellow butterflies fluttering in the sky, scattered all over the ground.

"Great technique!"

"Fellow Daoist, could it be a cultivator specializing in soul cultivation?!"

Suppressing the surging blood qi, Daoist Huanghu, as a Foundation Building Stage cultivator, clearly suffered a hidden loss. He was quite surprised, his face cold as he spoke.

The collision within the soul is much more dangerous than magical power, even Foundation Building Stage cultivators dare not be careless.

The opponent's soul power came and went without a trace, as fast as lightning. Wherever their consciousness reached, they arrived in an instant, without even any reaction time.

This made Daoist Huanghu very wary. The cultivator who broke through the Foundation Building Stage in the Qi family's backyard is definitely not weak and must have a significant background.

To be able to break through so quickly and make him suffer a hidden loss, it shows that the opponent's soul is extremely powerful and has firmly stepped into the Foundation Building Stage.

It's too late to say anything now, and the best opportunity has been missed. He hasn't even seen the face of this mysterious Qi family cultivator, so he can be said to have suffered a great defeat, making his expression exceptionally ugly.

"Senior Huanghu's brilliant move, I have already learned it, but today we just broke through and still need to rest with our eyes closed, so we won't entertain senior!"

"In the future, there will be a chance to personally visit the Black Mountain Cliff."

A light and ethereal voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

The pressure brought by the voice made everyone's hearts skip a beat, unable to help but shudder.

"Youngster, let me give you a word, the strong are easily broken!"

The mysterious cultivator in the Qi family's backyard has already broken through the Foundation Building Stage, and the situation is set. Even if they shrink within the formation, cultivators of the same level cannot break in.

Moreover, being injured by a junior's soul, Daoist Huanghu felt fear and did not have the confidence to win, so he had no face to continue staying and left with a parting remark.

"I'll wait for you!"

He hurriedly left, and the other demonic cultivators saw that even Daoist Huanghu had left, knowing that there was no benefit to be gained, so they also prepared to leave one after another.

"You came so easily, but it won't be so easy to leave!"

Accompanied by Zheng Yi's voice, a terrifying soul power swept out, and the Qi Refining cultivators who had previously attacked the Qi family's protective formation screamed in pain, suffering heavy injuries.

Especially the old man with a goatee in his sixties or seventies who attacked the Qi family's protective formation first, he was bleeding from his seven orifices and fled in panic.

"Roar!"

Just as these panicked Qi Refining high-level cultivators were fleeing, a huge bat rose from the backyard of the Qi family. Its enormous wings covered the sky, shrouded in thick black mist.

The flapping wings turned into shooting meteors, and its claws directly grabbed a Qi Refining high-level cultivator, tearing him in half with terrifying force. The screams abruptly stopped, and a rain of blood fell from the sky.

"Kill!"

Qi Lin waved his hand, and numerous blood cultivators from the Qi family flew out. Their eyes turned crimson from the stimulation of fresh blood, and an endless killing intent rose from their hearts as they fiercely attacked the fleeing cultivators.

Originally, like wild dogs in the wilderness, many cultivators who smelled the scent of blood and besieged the Qi family, wanting to take advantage of the chaos, instantly turned into dogs of a bereaved family.

Each of them regretted not being born with two more legs as they desperately fled this place of carnage.

The Qi family's blood cultivators practiced the Blood Demon Dao, which was extremely bloodthirsty. They attacked all the way, leaving behind dozens of broken bodies.

At the same time, the progenitor of the zombies, the hidden demon bat, flew into the distance like lightning. Some cultivators who had been lurking in the dark and had not had a chance to make a move were directly caught by it and had their blood sucked dry.

Among them, there was also a puppet whose neck was twisted by the hidden demon bat.

For a while, the smell of blood was strong and spread in the wind, with killings happening everywhere around the Qi family.

The independent cultivators who had gathered to covet or spy on the Qi family scattered and fled in the short time it took for Qi Lin to count. Those who were slow were directly turned into corpses.

When Qi Lin finished counting, the number of cultivators killed by the Qi family's blood cultivators was no less than thirty or forty, especially those who had attacked the Qi family, almost all of them were annihilated.

Due to the actions of the progenitor of the zombies, the hidden demon bat, the Qi Refining high-level cultivators also suffered heavy casualties. Their blood and bodies were treasures, undoubtedly becoming resources for the blood cultivators to enhance their strength.

...

The news of a Foundation Building Stage cultivator appearing in the Qi family quickly spread to the surrounding forces, big and small.

Whether it was the various demonic cities that coveted this area or other forces, they couldn't help but slow down. After all, although a Foundation Building Stage cultivator had just stepped into the threshold of immortality, they had the possibility of entering the game and were no longer just a small chess piece.

Two months ago, when Zheng Yi broke through to the Foundation Building Stage, it caused quite a stir. Even the Daoist Huang Hu from the Black Cliff Mountain made a move but ended up empty-handed, further enhancing the reputation of the Qi family.

In the area belonging to the traditional forces of the Assimilating Soul Sect, the appearance of a new Foundation Building Stage cultivator naturally limited the entry of others.

Many people were still observing, but the undercurrents were surging, although the surface seemed calm.

This was also the reason why Zheng Yi forcefully made a move when he broke through to the Foundation Building Stage. As a demonic cultivator, he deeply understood that demonic cultivators feared power and did not hold virtue. From being a Qi Refining independent cultivator to a Foundation Building Stage cultivator, it took him more than a year to gradually become ruthless, skilled, and increasingly cunning.

Now that he had become a Foundation Building Stage cultivator, it was even more impossible for him to accept the oppression from the surrounding forces.

Competition among demonic cultivators was fierce. If they didn't suck others' blood, they would be sucked dry by others.

Now, after the upper echelons of the Assimilating Soul Sect were wiped out, everyone who knew Zheng Yi's background was gone. He was not afraid to gradually expand his sphere of influence.

The desire for power was not the focus; only by ruling over an area could one obtain more cultivation resources. This was the rule of demonic cultivation and the system established by generations of immortal sects, where the upper echelons enslaved the lower echelons, gaining more resources without effort.

Demonstrating strength was very useful at this time.

Moreover, the current situation was very sensitive. With the disappearance of the Assimilating Soul Sect and the forces of the Hundred Beasts Sect, the surrounding area had become a powder keg, and new forces would inevitably fill the void.

As the foundation of Zheng Yi's power in the Dayi Immortal Domain, the Qi family was not willing to be bled dry by others while standing idly by.

Since he couldn't protect himself alone, he would stir up trouble.

This was Zheng Yi's goal, and as for Daoist Huang Hu, he would eventually settle the score with him.

Zheng Yi had many trump cards and strong power. Although he had just broken through to the Foundation Building Stage, as long as it wasn't a high-level Foundation Building Stage cultivator making a move, he should be able to handle it.
