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

Chapter 2 Soul Assimilating Banner, Soul Guiding Formation

In his two lifetimes, since Zheng Yi had made up his mind, he did not hesitate at all.

He sold his residency in Immortal City and cut off all his retreats.

Walking out of the exchange, Zheng Yi headed towards the city gate, silent all the way.

There was no expression on his face as he stood under the towering gate of Mysterious Void City, looking around.

Seeing the expectant eyes and the hurried steps of the cultivators rushing into the city, he felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Back then, when he transmigrated to the Dayi Immortal Realm, he was also alone, with his parents long gone.

Relying on the ancestral property left by his predecessor's parents, he went through numerous hardships and dangers before barely obtaining the residency in Mysterious Void City.

When he stood under the gate of Mysterious Void City for the first time, he was just like those excited and eager Fellow Daoists, as if he had seen the beginning of a brighter life.

But everything was not as he had imagined. After two or three years, he was still just a Qi Refining Third Layer small Independent Cultivator, barely making a living.

Now, a new world opening up in front of Zheng Yi undoubtedly gave him an unprecedented opportunity to turn his life around.

This opportunity was his only chance. Zheng Yi spared no effort to suppress all his assets, even selling the residency in Immortal City. It was a do-or-die situation.

It's worth noting that the Dayi Immortal Realm is not a peaceful world. It is even more terrifying and cruel than the Doomsday World of the Western Union.

The immortal sects and demonic sects here follow the most brutal law of natural selection.

Fight against the heavens, fight against the earth, fight against people!

Compete! Rob! Seize everything you need!

Zheng Yi heard this from a remarkable senior cultivator and couldn't forget it.

Fights between spouses, parent-child conflicts, masters and disciples fighting, senior brothers killing each other, and many other things were spread in teahouses, taverns, and wine shops.

For a Law Weapon or certain materials for Foundation Building, they would really fight to the death.

Familiar people had no sense of kinship, and strangers had no relationship at all. It was either competition or killing. How cruel it was, it was probably hard to imagine.

If you were in the wilderness, you not only had to watch out for the ferocious monsters, but also for your own kind, which was the most terrifying enemy.

It can be seen that the residency in Immortal City is an indispensable thing for cultivators.

Especially for those lone Independent Cultivators, it was a matter of life and death.

Zheng Yi's resolute decision to sell the residency at a low price was truly a major decision.

No success, no regrets!

After taking one last look at the towering gate of Mysterious Void City, Zheng Yi took a deep breath, stepped forward, and walked firmly towards the outskirts of the city.

Like a vow, this was his last words left in Immortal City.

"I will come back again!!"

Perhaps it was his hope for the future, or perhaps it was his determination.

...

"Selling the residency plus my savings, I only have about 1300 Low Grade Spirit Stones in my hands, which is the largest asset I can produce."

Looking at a city in the distance, lying on the ground and emitting a fierce aura, Zheng Yi calculated in his mind.

After leaving Immortal City, Zheng Yi was cautious all the way, and it took him half a month to quietly traverse the chaotic area where the immortals and demons intersect.

After traveling three thousand miles, he arrived at a city in the Demon Realm.

Bloodmist Abyss City!

"It is said that this city is presided over by Bloodmist Venerable, and it is much safer than other demonic cities. I'll choose this place."

During the entire half month, Zheng Yi was not just traveling.

After arriving in the Demon Realm, he spent a lot of effort and spirit stones to inquire about the Demon Realm, which was even more dangerous than the Immortal Domain.

It's worth noting that the demonic cultivators were more ferocious and terrifying than the immortal cultivators. They would sacrifice human bodies and souls, and even slaughter entire villages for the sake of cultivating terrifying demonic techniques.

Long-term cultivation of demonic techniques, slaughter, and bloodshed had turned many demonic cultivators into capricious and twisted individuals who enjoyed killing.

And this Bloodmist Venerable was both righteous and evil, with strong strength. He had set a rule that no fighting was allowed in the city, otherwise, the punishment would be severe.

For the price of two Low Grade Spirit Stones, Zheng Yi entered the Bloodmist Abyss City.

Compared to Mysterious Void City, where powerful cultivators roamed, the demonic cultivators here exuded a fierce and ferocious aura, which was much more terrifying than the relatively peaceful aura of the immortal cultivators.

Zheng Yi did not observe much, but directly sought out the residence of the Soul Devouring Sect in the city and requested to join the sect.

"You are not young, and although you have a foundation, do you not fear death by wanting to cultivate demonic techniques?!"

The one in charge of the residence was a withered old man, whose dim yellow eyes occasionally flashed with dazzling light, making Zheng Yi dare not look him in the eye. He stroked his beard and said indifferently.

In his view, Zheng Yi was over twenty years old, had a cultivation technique, and now he came to join the demonic sect, which meant he had discovered that he had little talent and wanted to take a shortcut. He had seen this situation many times.

However, what he did not know was that Zheng Yi did indeed have a shortcut to take, but it was not as cruel and terrifying as he thought. Zheng Yi did not lose his humanity.

"Elder's words are very true!"

Zheng Yi respectfully bowed and said, "As a dull person, bearing deep enmity, I want to join the Soul Devouring Sect to seek revenge, and I am willing to do anything to achieve it!"

As he spoke, he placed a package on the table with his right hand and stood respectfully to the side, waiting with his head bowed.

The outer sect elder saw the package and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. A faint smile appeared on his withered face.

With a wave of his hand, the package flew into his hand. Feeling its weight, his smile grew even wider.

"In this world, one must keep their word! Of course, deep enmity must be avenged."

"Very well! In view of your sincerity, this elder is willing to give you this opportunity."

He didn't care whether Zheng Yi had deep enmity or not. As long as the spirit stones were enough, he had made his decision.

After that, he took out a token and threw it to Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi quickly caught it. On the front was a fierce blood skull, and on the back was a mountain of skulls.

"After dripping blood to recognize the master, you will be an outer sect disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect." The outer sect elder instructed, then took out a cultivation technique and a Soul Assimilating Banner.

Following the elder's instructions, Zheng Yi dripped blood to recognize the master and immediately felt a connection with the token.

There wasn't much information inside, and it was quickly digested. Then he looked at the cultivation technique and the Soul Assimilating Banner on the table.

"These two things are the cultivation technique and the weapon. The inheritance of the cultivation technique is the most important thing in our sect, and it can be considered a benefit for the disciples."

"As for this Soul Assimilating Banner, it is the defensive Law Weapon you purchased. I won't charge you any extra fees from your tribute."

"Thank you for the precious gifts, Elder."

Zheng Yi respectfully accepted the cultivation technique and the weapon, then saw the outer sect elder wave his hand and quickly bid farewell.

After leaving the Soul Devouring Sect's residence, Zheng Yi felt a sense of relief and looked at the cultivation technique and the Soul Assimilating Banner in his hand, feeling a hint of joy after enduring hardships and finally obtaining them.

In fact, Zheng Yi's choice of the Soul Devouring Sect was carefully considered.

First, the Soul Devouring Sect was not too powerful, only a Low Grade sect in the Demon Realm, and the rules within the sect were not very strict, especially not prohibiting the movements of the disciples.

Second, the Soul Devouring Sect was one of the few sects that could bestow a cultivation technique without the need to directly go to the sect's residence. Just by being at a residence, one could become a disciple and receive the cultivation technique.

Third, the most important thing in the newly opened Doomsday World was the evil spirits and ghosts.

The "Black Fiend Technique" cultivated by the Soul Devouring Sect required turning vengeful spirits and evil ghosts into Black Fiends. The more vengeful spirits and evil ghosts were refined, the stronger the Black Fiend's power. It was a specialized and matching technique, a Sacred Land specifically for cultivating this technique.

It could be said that after careful deduction, this was the fundamental reason why Zheng Yi was able to obtain the cultivation technique in one fell swoop.

Plan before action!

...

After obtaining the "Black Fiend Technique" and the Soul Assimilating Banner, Zheng Yi did not dare to leave the Bloodmist Abyss City. Instead, he paid to stay at an inn.

Opening the "Black Fiend Technique," he studied the operation of the technique, and after controlling the Soul Assimilating Banner with his blood, Zheng Yi made all the preparations and once again entered the Doomsday World.

The first thing he did upon arriving in the Doomsday World was to disperse the previous cultivation technique he had practiced to the Third Layer of Qi Refining.

Puff!

He spat out a mouthful of blood, then took out a healing pill and swallowed it directly. The chaotic aura in his body gradually subsided.

Relying on his previous accumulation, he quickly entered the First Layer of the technique and stabilized at the Qi Refining First Layer.

This was the result of the True Qi remaining in his body being transformed into demonic aura.

"Caw caw!!"

Accompanied by the flapping of wings, Zheng Yi looked up and saw a dark cloud of crows surging towards him.

"A flock of scavenging crows? They were attracted by just a mouthful of blood."

Zheng Yi was surprised at the crows' sense of smell. Even from such a distance, they could smell the scent of blood. It was truly a terrifying creature.

For the indigenous people, it was probably a disaster, but for Zheng Yi, it was a pleasant surprise.

"Just in time, I'll use you as a test today."

Facing the overwhelming flock of crows, Zheng Yi raised the Soul Assimilating Banner with one hand, waving it in the wind. The surging demonic aura turned into a black cloud, covering the sky and the earth.

The flock of crows, which had just been aggressive and rushing towards him, were covered by the surging demonic aura and turned into falling stones from the sky. Soon, they covered the ground.

The countless crows that would have frightened others, under the cover of the Soul Assimilating Banner, turned into nourishing nutrients.

The ground was covered with the bodies of the crows, a somewhat frightening sight, but Zheng Yi had a smile on his face as he stood in the middle of it.

He quickly checked the Soul Assimilating Banner in his hand and keenly felt the numerous crow souls struggling inside.

"These are all excellent souls..."

"I didn't expect that these scavenging crows, although infected by the virus, still have such pure souls. They are completely comparable to the human souls cultivated in the cultivation world."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, I'll absorb these souls and restore my cultivation level."

Using the Soul Assimilating Banner, Zheng Yi refined the souls of the crows. The essence of their soul power flowed into his body along his arm, while he greedily devoured these energies by operating the Black Fiend Technique.

It took him a whole day to completely absorb these refined soul powers.

Even more surprisingly, the cultivation level that had dropped due to the change in cultivation technique was restored to the Third Layer of Qi Refining.

Undoubtedly, this post-apocalyptic world was a paradise for demonic cultivators.

No need for slaughter, no need for tyranny, no need for blood, and no need to be hunted down by cultivators.

Here, everything was top-quality material. Even a group of inconspicuous crows could produce a large amount of refined soul power, and the effect was obvious.

"If I had a set of Soul Guiding Formation, wouldn't that be even better?!"

Suddenly, an idea popped into Zheng Yi's mind.

Soul Guiding Formation.

A formation that attracted souls, not uncommon among demonic cultivators. It was a necessary item for those demonic cultivators who slaughtered and plundered souls after massacring villages.

But in this world, Zheng Yi could completely use this formation to wait for the arrival of fierce evil spirits and ghosts, and take advantage of the situation.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yi couldn't wait to return to the Immortal Cultivation World.

Half an hour later, Zheng Yi reappeared.

For the sake of cultivation, he was racing against time, wasting no time, and only after paying a considerable amount of spirit stones did he obtain a set of Soul Guiding Formation from the outer sect steward elder.

Everything was ready, and the next step was to make a big move.
