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

Chapter 30: The Prestige of the Soul-Capturing Banner! Patriarch Ku Hun

Zheng Yi knew that the initial refinement had been successful. The spiritual energy within his body quickly circulated along the blood-red patterns on the surface of the Soul-Capturing Banner, rapidly refining it and regaining control over it.

Immediately, the pitch-black surface of the banner produced endless wails and cries of ghosts.

Finally, Zheng Yi's power merged and connected with the Soul-Capturing Banner, refining the entire surface once again.

Moreover, the ninety-nine seals of the Soul-Capturing Banner were completely refined by him, completely integrating with the banner and dissolving within it.

Zheng Yi pinched his fingers and chanted an incantation, causing peculiar fluctuations to emanate from the spell.

The treasures on the surface of the Soul-Capturing Banner dimmed, transforming back into an ordinary small black magic banner, quietly suspended in front of Zheng Yi.

With a wave of his hand, the magic banner fell into his palm, obedient like a well-behaved puppy.

The Soul-Capturing Banner required three sacrifices and three refinements, iterative upgrades, especially since Zheng Yi had already refined this small banner into a Law Weapon.

The fate of both parties was intertwined, crucial to his path, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

"It's still not enough!"

"This magic weapon truly lives up to the refining method passed down by the founding ancestor of the Assimilating Soul Sect. It seems simple and easy to learn, but difficult to master."

"To refine it into the Hundred-Soul Banner or the Thousand-Soul Banner, it cannot be achieved without fortuitous circumstances. Otherwise, refining the souls of living beings or the divine souls of cultivators would surely incur heavenly wrath and human resentment. Either one would be beaten to death or plagued by blood feuds and karmic backlash."

"Furthermore, it requires the consumption of numerous resources to forge a sturdy Law Weapon embryo. Otherwise, the many Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts refined within it will surely backlash against their master..."

"No wonder the power of this Law Weapon is so great. However, within the Assimilating Soul Sect, it is merely an auxiliary Law Weapon for ordinary disciples. Few people have refined it into a Law Weapon of their own, let alone heard of anyone becoming famous with this magic weapon."

"The last person to become famous with the Soul-Capturing Banner was the Ku Hun Patriarch two hundred years ago. It is said that he was naturally Yin-bodied and accidentally fell into the Abyss of Demons, miraculously surviving. He also obtained a piece of the ten-thousand-year Slaughter God Purple Essence Stone, using it to refine the magic banner. Later, during the third battle between righteousness and evil, he refined countless cultivators, achieving the fearsome might of this treasure!"

"Unfortunately, later on, that Thousand-Soul Banner encountered a Gold Core expert from the righteous Flying Sword God Sect and was cut into two pieces. The old Ku Hun perished as well."

"But to be able to contend against a Violet Palace realm and Gold Core cultivator for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, especially one known for their attack power in the world, the reputation of the Thousand-Soul Banner is indeed not unfounded..."

Thinking of this, Zheng Yi became extremely excited.

With the End of Days World as his backing, the day he cultivates the Thousand-Soul Banner is not far away.

Although he doesn't have the same fortuitous encounter as the old Ku Hun, who used the ten-thousand-year Slaughter God Purple Essence Stone to refine the magic banner, he can use the stacking method to enhance the power of his Law Weapon, the Soul-Capturing Banner, with numerous resources.

Purple Smoked Mother Copper, Sandalwood Blackwood, Black Essence Hundred Refinement Iron...

Grasping the banner pole of the Soul-Capturing Banner, feeling the hidden power within it, Zheng Yi gained greater confidence in further upgrading this Law Weapon.

These are the materials Zheng Yi listed for the subsequent upgrade of the Soul-Capturing Banner.

Today, he was fortunate enough to buy the relatively rare Earth Soul Silver in the sect's market, which can only be considered as an initial refinement, consolidating the foundation of the Soul-Capturing Banner.

After all, the original form of this magic banner was a product of the outer sect disciples, made from inferior materials, making one's scalp tingle.

If it weren't for Zheng Yi refining hundreds of resentful spirits and fierce ghosts in the End of Days World, it would not have been possible for this Law Weapon to possess such power.

But to go further, he still needs various complex sacrifices and refinements, requiring dozens of different materials.

Of course, these precious or ordinary materials are not just for the purpose of advancing the Soul-Capturing Banner to the pinnacle of the Qi Refining stage.

From the beginning, Zheng Yi's goal was to strive for a Law Weapon at the Foundation Building Stage level.

After all, the Soul-Capturing Banner is his Law Weapon during the Qi Refining stage.

With the support of the Doomsday World, Zheng Yi is not lacking in cultivation resources. There are an astonishing number of resentful spirits and fierce ghosts everywhere, which can be said to be resources for improvement.

Like the Blood Demoness and the Hundred-Year Green Ghost encountered before, they are probably just appetizers in that eerie Doomsday World.

As Zheng Yi gradually explores the Doomsday World, even more terrifying ghosts and spirits will appear.

Once he encounters terrifying ghosts and spirits that he cannot contend with, how can Zheng Yi stop them?

On this point, Zheng Yi has never doubted.

During the process of transmigrating to the Doomsday World last time, Zheng Yi also came into contact with some local indigenous residents and learned some terrifying rumors from them.

It is said that in a certain city, there is a complete ghost army wandering, with a number of over tens of thousands. They are disciplined and exceptionally powerful. They once swept through a city in a day, slaughtering all the population and zombies.

It should be noted that among these millions of zombies, they are not just ordinary fellows, but also numerous mutated red-eyed zombies, including the king who commands the zombies. They are almost the undisputed local overlords.

But even with such strength, they were still swept away and killed by the ghost army.

There is also a giant ghost creature said to be a hundred meters tall. Wherever it goes, not to mention resistance, even being enveloped in its terrifying ghostly aura will be directly corroded and transformed into a terrifying ghost creature.

Anyway, there are countless unbelievable legends about the Doomsday World.

Various powerful evil spirits, zombie kings, terrifying mutated beasts, and so on, have made Zheng Yi's originally excited heart calm down.

This world is still too dangerous, not something that a small Qi Refining cultivator like himself can handle. He needs to steadily uncover the true face of this mysterious Doomsday World step by step.

That's right!

What Zheng Yi lacks is time.

In the short term, with the help of the characteristics of the Black Demon Technique, he can continue to refine the resentful spirits and fierce ghosts, upgrading his demonic energy. However, the realm improvement brought by the cultivation technique is relatively unlikely to be too fast.

After all, he doesn't want to fail to advance when he tries to break through to the Foundation Building Stage due to an unstable foundation.

Therefore, Zheng Yi has to focus on his Law Weapon.

As long as the Soul-Capturing Banner is strong enough to imprison more powerful fierce ghosts and produce more Yin soldiers, his combat power will also increase.

For example, the three hundred-year-old green ghost he encountered last time, if it weren't for the fact that the Soul-Capturing Banner couldn't bear it, he would have already let the banner devour it.

The Soul-Capturing Banner in his hand has reached its limit. After obtaining the follow-up upgrade method for the Soul-Capturing Banner from the Inner Sect Transmission Hall, he has been diligently searching for various upgrade materials.

He has almost searched the entire sect's market, but Zheng Yi has only found less than thirty percent of what he needs. There is still a huge gap to completely gather them.

However, there are only a few materials left to upgrade the Soul-Capturing Banner to Rank One. Zheng Yi plans to complete it during this opportunity to station at the Black Iron Mine.

Of course, searching for so many materials costs quite a bit.

After refining the hundred-year-old green ghost, the spiritual stones obtained from selling the green essence soul have dwindled to just a few hundred.

This time, going to the mine is half for finding materials and half for obtaining some spiritual stones.
