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

Chapter 26: The Miraculous Effects of Zombie Crystals

He could sense that a stone-like barrier had formed on the surface of his body, while internally, his blood and qi were being rapidly consumed as a result of the transformation caused by the malevolent energy.

After just half an hour, a large amount of blood and qi had been depleted, causing Zheng Yi's complexion to become significantly pale.

"It's time!"

Sensing that the time was almost right, Zheng Yi directly took out a zombie crystal, the bloodstains on its surface having been cleaned long ago.

With a strong grip of his fingers, there was a cracking sound, and a slight crack appeared on the surface of the crystal.

A pure energy flowed out from within, and Zheng Yi immediately put it into his mouth. The pure energy swiftly passed through his throat, following the weak heartbeat caused by the depletion of blood and qi, and quickly circulated throughout his body.

Previously, due to the excessive loss of blood and qi, his pale complexion now regained a hint of redness, gradually turning rosy.

"As expected, this crystal is the purest source of life energy. It can continuously replenish blood and qi, making it more convenient and efficient than those qi and blood replenishing pills."

"After all, every medicine has its side effects, and even qi and blood replenishing pills are no exception. They are artificially refined and cannot be perfect."

"But this zombie crystal contains pure life energy, although the quantity is not much, it doesn't have any impurities or toxins..."

"Most importantly, for me, this kind of zombie crystal is almost inexhaustible and inexhaustible."

In an instant, Zheng Yi couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

Previously, in the post-apocalyptic world, the zombie crystals dropped by killing a large number of zombies contained extremely pure energy, making them an excellent choice for replenishing blood and qi.

Although qi and blood replenishing pills were good, they were still pills and carried varying degrees of toxicity.

Usually, the harm of the toxins might not be apparent, but once one became negligent, they could silently erode one's body.

In dangerous situations or when encountering bottlenecks, the trouble caused by the toxins might erupt, potentially causing irreparable damage.

The extremely pure life energy contained in these zombie crystals is derived entirely from heaven and earth, without any toxins.

Having found suitable cultivation resources, Zheng Yi put a Fasting Pill in his mouth and went into seclusion to cultivate.

Inside the cultivation room, the Qingxuan malevolent energy generated from refining resentful spirits with the Black Malevolent Technique was continuously released from the Soul-Capturing Banner.

As the Black Malevolent Technique operated, the malevolent energy became viscous, gradually transforming from a faint light blue color to a deep blue.

The ethereal malevolent energy, like air, at this moment, faintly began to emit a sound similar to flowing water.

In the dense air, dark blue flames began to fill the surroundings, burning on the blue mist.

The effect of this blue malevolent energy was much better than ordinary ghostly or yin malevolent energy. The malevolent energy attached to Zheng Yi's body surface and merged with it as the technique operated.

This blue malevolent energy began to cover his body from top to bottom, like a set of blue armor enveloping him.

At the same time, Zheng Yi took out one zombie crystal after another, eagerly throwing them into his mouth, absorbing the pure life energy contained within to replenish the continuously depleting blood and qi.

It must be said that ever since the beginning of the end of the world, Zheng Yi has had a feeling of good fortune.

For others, the various restrictions required for practicing the "Mysterious Demon Body Tempering Technique" would be extremely difficult.

But for Zheng Yi, it was easily attainable, as he had long been prepared.

Whether it was the transformation of the Black Demon Qi generated by the assimilation of resentful spirits and fierce ghosts, or the replenishment of life energy with zombie crystals, these were things that he had never dared to imagine before.

...

During his time in the Assimilating Soul Sect, Zheng Yi diligently practiced every day, either hiding in his own room or practicing in the cultivation chamber.

Every time he practiced, he was extremely cautious. Not only did he activate defensive formations, but he also released his Law Weapon, the Soul-Capturing Banner, enveloping the entire room in its Yin Demon Qi.

Only in this environment could Zheng Yi barely find peace of mind.

During this period, his main focus of cultivation was the newly acquired technique, the "Mysterious Demon Body Tempering Technique."

As for the follow-up techniques of the Black Demon Qi, Zheng Yi was already familiar with the operating routes, but he had not started practicing them yet.

The Assimilating Soul Sect was located on a second-grade spiritual vein, which provided a certain boost to cultivation techniques.

Therefore, many disciples of the sect preferred to stay in the sect and cultivate using the spiritual energy released by the powerful spiritual vein, which was much faster than cultivating elsewhere.

However, compared to other techniques that could absorb spiritual energy to enhance cultivation, the foundation of the "Black Demon Qi" technique was quite unique. Although it also required breathing in and exhaling spiritual energy, its level was completely based on assimilating various resentful spirits and fierce ghosts.

It could be said that the more resentful spirits and fierce ghosts Zheng Yi assimilated, the faster his demonic energy would upgrade, progressing from the lowest level of Black Demon Qi to the advanced Mysterious Yin Demon Qi, and then to the Green Mysterious Demon Qi.

Advancing step by step, he could even transform all the attributes of his techniques into the legendary Nine Nether Soul-Slaughtering Demon Qi.

By then, the power of this technique would be immeasurable.

As long as there were enough resentful spirits and fierce ghosts as cultivation materials, Zheng Yi's speed of cultivating the "Black Demon Qi" technique would be several times faster than cultivating other techniques.

This was also an important reason why Zheng Yi was able to recover his cultivation level in a short period of time and break through to the mid Qi Refining stage.

Since the establishment of the Assimilating Soul Sect, which had been at least three to four hundred years, there had been several generations of inheritors of the sect's techniques. Naturally, Zheng Yi, a newly promoted inner disciple, could not know the methods mastered by the sect.

Therefore, he dared not easily open the end-of-the-world world, to prevent being discovered by the sect's powerful individuals.

After all, there was still a Foundation Building Stage cultivator guarding the sect.

In this world where immortals and demons coexisted, and where the righteous path and demonic path were in opposition, Zheng Yi did not dare to stand out. If the higher-ups of the sect discovered any abnormalities in him, he would truly have nowhere to hide.

Therefore, whether it was the follow-up techniques of the Black Demon Qi or the subsequent refining and upgrading of his Law Weapon, the Soul-Capturing Banner, Zheng Yi would not easily display them within the sect unless he found a way to conceal them.

To avoid exposing himself to those with ill intentions, it would be troublesome if that happened.

The path of cultivation was always a struggle against the heavens and competition with others, seizing opportunities, plundering treasures, strengthening oneself, and pursuing higher realms.

Therefore, it was best to be cautious and honest within the sect.
