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

Chapter 163: Nascent Soul Level Sect

These five Ghost Sword Embryos, after being nurtured by the Ten Thousand Sword Gourd, have reached a sharpness comparable to that of a typical Supreme Grade Law Weapon. They are also infused with boundless Yin Ghost power, making them extremely powerful.

The remaining two sword embryos are emitting a sword aura of death as they slash towards the chest of the Half-Step Violet Palace cultivator. The power contained within is enough to completely destroy their internal organs, every organ, and kill their vitality in one strike, making it impossible for them to die any further.

"It's you who forced me!"

"Since you want us dead, then no one will live..."

The dark-skinned man in the Half-Step Violet Palace stage roared in anger. A strange purplish-black aura appeared around his face, and his pupils rapidly dilated, turning into vertical slits like a snake, narrow and with a sinister color.

He extended his hand and directly threw out the Law Weapon Flute. Instantly, black flames surged and transformed into a five-zhang-tall flaming divine steed.

Its eyes were like fire, burning with black flames, filled with sharp fangs. Its body resembled a dragon, stepping on black flames, like the mount of the Grim Reaper. Its front hooves were raised high, and it let out a strange roar mixed with the neigh of a horse and the roar of a fierce beast. Accompanied by surging black flames, its two large front hooves grew sharp claws and fiercely kicked towards the two sword embryos in front of it.

This Half-Step Violet Palace cultivator is truly going all out. His own Law Weapon is directly clashing head-on. If he is slightly careless, it will damage the spiritual essence of the Law Weapon and ultimately shake his own soul.

This Law Weapon Flute was refined with his own blood and activated with his unique secret technique. It transformed into a flaming divine steed, erupting with astonishing power in an instant.

This kind of secret technique is extremely rare in the Great Yi Immortal Domain, but it is a common practice among high-level cultivators in the Xuan Ling Domain.

However, each sect has its own unique methods of spiritual transformation. This dark-skinned man's Law Weapon is currently in the process of metamorphosis. Although this method can unleash tremendous power, once the Law Weapon is damaged, it will deal a heavy blow to him. If he wants to continue breaking through to the Violet Palace realm in the future, the difficulty will increase at least twofold.

In other words, once this Law Weapon Flute is broken, it will directly sever the opportunity for this Half-Step Violet Palace cultivator to advance to the Violet Palace realm.

Therefore, the dark-skinned man, regardless of his own safety, forcefully activated this secret technique. Obviously, he has been pushed to the limit and is facing a life-threatening situation, where he can no longer care about anything.

After all, as good as Law Weapon spiritual transformation is, if one loses their own life, they will lose everything.

For him, it is also a gamble.

If he wins, he can break through this formation with the power of Law Weapon spiritual transformation and escape alive.

If he loses, he will have exhausted all his trump cards, and it will be too late to consider anything else.

Zheng Yi naturally has no idea about the pros and cons of Law Weapon spiritual transformation, as he has never seen such a method in the Great Yi Immortal Domain before.

But this change has made his eyes shine, especially the transformation of the Law Weapon into a flaming divine steed. The power it erupted with even surprised him.

This secret technique of the Xuan Ling Domain is indeed very different from the traditional Immortal Law techniques of the Great Yi Immortal Domain and should not be underestimated.

Clang! Clang!

The sharp sword embryos directly slashed onto the front hooves of the flaming divine steed. Instantly, sparks flew, and a terrifying pressure from the collision spread in all directions.

Zheng Yi clearly saw that the cold light of the sword embryos left two deep gashes on the horse hooves of the flaming divine steed.

As the owner who poured his blood into the Spirit Communication Law Weapon, the dark-skinned man undoubtedly understood everything that happened. Although he did not suffer serious injuries, his expression became quite ugly, and his angry eyes were filled with killing intent.

Two traces, although not enough to damage the foundation, still need to be re-refined and compensated for, undoubtedly slowing down the time for advancing to the Violet Palace realm.

As the saying goes, "One step slow, step by step slow!"

Invisible, it has a great impact on him.

"Break my Law Weapon, compensate with your soul!"

The dark-skinned man pinched a secret technique in his hand, his pupils burst with golden light, and the black flames on the body of the Dark Flame Divine Steed surged again, emitting a trace of golden light around it, turning into a black lightning mixed with strands of golden light. It opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and bit towards Zheng Yi.

If it was said that the two sides had become enemies because of the existence of the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion before, now they were in a state of endless fighting.

"There are many means, especially this method of transforming the Law Weapon into a mischievous and spiritual form. The Dayi Immortal Domain has never seen it before. If someone unfamiliar with it doesn't pay attention, they might really suffer a loss..."

Looking at the Dark Flame Divine Steed charging straight ahead, burning the air with black and golden flames, Zheng Yi didn't have much time to think.

He pinched his hands, and a deep purple demonic flame appeared on the surface of his body, condensing in the air in front of him. The purple flames burned slowly, as if there were countless spirits wailing, giving off a precious feeling.

He pointed his finger, and the purple demonic flame immediately entered the white jade-like Wanjian Gourd in his palm, spewing out five sword embryos again.

This time, not only did they have sharp sword qi, but they also burned with purple demonic flames, burning souls and annihilating spirits, shooting out together.

"This guy is definitely not ordinary, why does he have so many methods? What else?"

The sudden appearance of the purple demonic flames made the dark-skinned man's face change. As a half-step Violet Palace cultivator, he could feel the aura in the purple demonic flames that was enough to corrode the souls of high-level cultivators. He was greatly shocked. These demonic flames fundamentally restrained spiritual transformation techniques.

He couldn't figure out what kind of treasure the white gourd in Zheng Yi's hand was. The sword qi contained within seemed endless, and it could even unleash an aura that he was extremely wary of with the help of the demonic flames.

The five sword embryos that were just defeated reappeared in an instant, and this time their power was even stronger than before.

Of course, he didn't know that the Wanjian Gourd mainly nurtured sword qi, and the five ghostly sword embryos floated and sank within it, gradually separating from their origins and had long been integrated into the Wanjian Gourd. They could replenish energy at any time and unleash their power again.

However, the next scene made the dark-skinned man's face twitch and he was greatly shocked.

"Merge!"

I saw Zheng Yi open his arms, suddenly clasped them together, and compressed downwards. Under the pressure of the purple demonic flames, the five sword embryos merged together, forming a giant five-colored longsword.

The surface of the five swords radiated with brilliance, instantly merging into one, successfully integrating the power of the five elements.

Just as the Dark Flame Divine Steed was about to rush in front of him, the five-colored giant sword merged into one, and the five sword embryos turned into a force, fiercely slashing down towards the roaring and ferocious beast head.

Puff!

The five-colored sword qi condensed by the five sword embryos actually represented the essence of the Wanjian Gourd, containing unparalleled sharpness. With one slash, it easily cut through the middle of the Dark Flame Divine Steed, dividing it into two equal halves.

The whole process was as fast as lightning. Before the dark-skinned man could react, the Dark Flame Divine Steed let out a miserable neigh, transforming back into a Law Weapon, and broke into two from the middle.

Puff!

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, and his Law Weapon was shattered. It was especially devastating to be shattered during the Soul Transformation stage. The dark-skinned man's spirit was instantly severely damaged, his face turned pale, as if he had lost all his willpower.

"Please... spare me..."

His face revealed fear, trembling as he looked at Zheng Yi, emitting a mournful cry like a wild beast.

This sword not only severed his Life Flute, but also directly severed his path to advancing to the Violet Palace realm, cutting off any further opportunities. He felt so miserable that he wanted to vomit blood.

But now, all of this was nothing compared to the imminent threat he was about to face.

In the face of life and death, there was great terror.

Even cultivators like him were not exempt.

"Go!"

However, Zheng Yi's face was cold and merciless, unmoved by any pity. With a flick of his finger, the five-colored giant sword, which had merged with five sword embryos, slashed straight towards this half-step Violet Palace cultivator.

"Run!"

At this moment, the dark-skinned man's plea for mercy was too late. Zheng Yi was determined to kill him. In his eyes, the five-colored giant sword continued to expand, and a hint of fear appeared on his face. Then, he roared loudly like a wild beast.

The next second, the sword energy passed through his body, and the half-step Violet Palace cultivator was directly cut in half. His internal organs splattered, and the strong smell of blood was enveloped by the blood threads in the air, absorbed by the Taiyin Profound Blood Refining Formation.

This foreign cultivator had extremely powerful methods and was highly adaptable. The reason for his rapid defeat was also related to being suppressed and restrained within the Taiyin Profound Blood Refining Formation, unable to escape.

"You still want to escape at this moment, you're really overestimating yourself!"

Immediately, Zheng Yi's voice sounded cold and indifferent. With a flip of his left hand, another exquisite gourd appeared beside him.

However, this gourd was pitch black, like a perfectly crafted black jade, resembling a small black hole, emitting a strange and eerie aura.

With the Ghost Nurturing Gourd in his hand, Zheng Yi used his mana to activate it. The mouth of the gourd pointed directly in one direction, amidst the wailing of ghosts and the howling of gods. It seemed as if countless resentful spirits and fierce ghosts reached out their claws, trying to capture the person's soul and pull it into the gourd.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and a mighty suction force erupted from inside the gourd.

Black mist covered the original space, and in the previously empty void, a small person with a terrified and shocked expression suddenly appeared. He was still twisting and struggling, with flickering shadows, like a drowning person. He shouted and screamed, but no sound transmitted to the material plane.

Upon closer observation, it could be seen that this was actually the dark-skinned man who had been killed by Zheng Yi's sword just now. At this moment, the soul shadow of this half-step Violet Palace cultivator was distorted and shrinking.

Clearly, this person was indeed an experienced warrior, with outstanding combat skills and numerous means of escape.

When the giant sword attacked, the soul of this half-step Violet Palace cultivator had already abandoned his physical body, leaving his flesh behind, in an attempt to deceive and escape, seeking a chance to survive.

Therefore, Zheng Yi's effort to kill him only resulted in the destruction of his physical body.

If it were someone else, they might have been deceived, after all, although the Taiyin Profound Blood Refining Formation was powerful, it was still a formation set up by multiple people, with its power dispersed. It mainly targeted the cultivator's physical body and blood essence, and was slightly lacking in dealing with the power of the soul. Unfortunately, he encountered Zheng Yi.

Although his methods were quite secretive, Zheng Yi's soul was so vast that even the slightest change could not escape his perception.

This time, using the Ghost Gourd, a pervasive Yin energy formed a ghost domain that no supernatural tricks could escape from. The Three Yin and One Qi Ghost Gourd devoured everything, and even if the souls wanted to escape, they couldn't. They had no power to resist.

"Do you dare to kill me? The Lock Heaven Sect will seek revenge for me..." The dark-skinned man knew he couldn't escape and stopped begging Zheng Yi for mercy. He knew that the other party wouldn't spare him, just as he wouldn't spare Zheng Yi if he were the victor.

His soul shadow was bound in a strange way, becoming more and more distorted, gradually shrinking like a tiny sesame seed. Despite roaring like an injured beast, it didn't change the fact that it was being swallowed by the Ghost Gourd. Shouting and screaming couldn't save his life.

Just as Zheng Yi finished the battle, the other two Foundation Building cultivators and the Late Stage foreign cultivators were all killed.

Under the suppression of the Taiyin Profound Blood Refining Array and the attacks of over a hundred Foundation Building and Qi Refining cultivators, their bodies were shattered in mid-air, and their souls, trying to escape, were locked in the formation and all taken into the Ghost Gourd.

Soon, the formation dissipated, and apart from some mess on the ground, the entire valley remained unchanged, returning to its previous tranquility.

No one could believe that just moments ago, two Foundation Building Late Stage cultivators and one Violet Palace Half-Step cultivator had all met a strange and tragic end here, completely perishing in this place.

Neither their bodies nor their souls escaped; they were all taken by the Ghost Gourd!

The day of the round moon, when the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion would open, was still far away. Zheng Yi didn't plan to stay here, as it would easily attract attention.

He had nine Foundation Building cultivators lead their respective teams back separately, dispersing and making it less likely to draw attention.

A few clever cultivators were stationed on-site. If anything unusual was discovered, they could report it later. These matters were left to Qi Lin to handle.

Zheng Yi himself quietly returned to the headquarters of the Great Principle Alliance, alone and without a sound, like a ghost.

...

"Sure enough, these three foreign cultivators were greedy and hadn't spread the news of the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion."

After searching their souls, Zheng Yi quickly found the memories related to the Secret Immortal Gate. Although they were fragmented and broken, they confirmed the information left by Yi Qingzi. Most of the evidence was correct.

There were other missing pieces, but they didn't have much impact on the overall situation.

What Zheng Yi was most concerned about was that these three foreign cultivators came from the Xuanling Domain and the Lock Heaven Sect.

The Lock Heaven Sect was a Nascent Soul-level sect, rumored to have a Nascent Soul-level ancestor presiding over it. It was a force that Zheng Yi couldn't imagine. If these three people were to send a message back, even with the barrier of the Savage Sea, the Lock Heaven Sect would still send people to the Dayi Immortal Domain.

By then, Zheng Yi would only become a dog of a fallen family. The Great Principle Alliance would definitely not be able to stay, which was something he desperately wanted to avoid.

Fortunately, everyone has their own selfishness, and cultivators are no exception.

Moreover, as the remnants of the Secret Immortal Gate, which once had a Nascent Soul inheritance, the clues left behind were undoubtedly extremely precious. Instead of sharing these good things with others, it was better to enjoy them alone.

Furthermore, when examining the soul of the dark-skinned man, a Violet Palace Half-Step cultivator, Zheng Yi discovered that he wasn't as selfless as he appeared on the surface. He had his own thoughts and provided the clues to the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion, but he never honestly revealed the hidden information within.

This time, he planned to use his two junior brothers as pioneers. Even if they successfully escaped from the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion in the end, he would take action to kill them both and eliminate any future troubles.
