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

Chapter 41: Detaining the Soul and Controlling Yin and Yang

One step, two steps, three steps...

The baby lying next to the crib had its mouth wide open, smiling. However, in its innocent eyes, a sinister desire was revealed. Sharp fangs had grown in its slightly open mouth, giving it an extremely eerie appearance.

However, Zheng Yi seemed to have not noticed the baby's transformation. He was like a puppet being controlled by an invisible force, walking towards the baby. He reached out his arm, ready to embrace it in the next moment.

But then, in the next second, Zheng Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The baby's previously evil smile also froze in place. It anxiously called out, its crimson eyes flickering with a strange fluctuation as its invisible spiritual power surged towards Zheng Yi.

"Have you run out of tricks?"

"The Blood Embryo Ghost Infant truly lives up to its reputation as a secret technique that leaked from the Netherworld Dao hundreds of years ago, a forbidden art in the demonic path..."

"I didn't expect that even though you're just a ghost infant yet to be born, you already possess such methods. You even know the art of enchantment. With my mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation, I almost fell for your tricks."

"Fortunately, I have the Soul-Capturing Banner as my lifebound Law Weapon, and the backlash of the Black Sha Technique. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they might have been deceived by you, sacrificed themselves, and released you."

Zheng Yi spoke slowly. There was no longer any dullness or confusion in his eyes. He was extremely clear-minded, without a trace of being influenced or deceived.

With a pair of clear eyes, he looked at the ghost infant within reach, a murderous intent filling his heart.

Truly worthy of being a ghost infant that could reach the minimum threshold of a Foundation Building Stage cultivator once born. Even before its birth, it possessed such enchanting methods, making it an incredibly cunning ghost creature.

The Qi family had been planning for a hundred years, secretly constructing a Blood Flesh Demon Pool and nurturing the Blood Embryo Ghost Infant with the Nine Yin Gathering Evil Pulse Formation. Countless humans and animals were sacrificed, their flesh and souls used to bring this ghost infant closer to being born.

But even with just one step left, it couldn't break through the Blood Egg. So when Zheng Yi appeared, the ghost infant used the enchantment technique, attempting to control him and sacrifice him to consume his flesh and soul, bringing itself one step closer to being born.

However, the Qi family was ruthless enough. No wonder Zheng Yi felt the abnormal spiritual energy in this place as soon as he arrived.

The location of this black iron ore vein was extremely peculiar, with a hidden subsidiary vein beneath it.

There must be at least one finished spiritual vein present, otherwise, it wouldn't be able to sustain the operation of the Nine Yin Gathering Evil Pulse Formation.

Now it seemed that his previous speculation was correct.

The Qi family had hidden the existence of this subsidiary spiritual vein a hundred years ago. When they secretly arranged the Nine Yin Gathering Evil Pulse Formation, they drained all the spiritual energy from the spiritual vein, turning this area into an extremely desolate place.

The Qi family spent a hundred years setting up this plan for the birth of the ghost infant. Once it was refined, it would be equivalent to having a Foundation Building Stage cultivator in their ranks.

Although with the quality of this Blood Embryo Ghost Infant, it could only reach the minimum threshold of a Foundation Building Stage cultivator's strength.

But a Foundation Building Stage was still a Foundation Building Stage.

By then, the Qi family's strength would undoubtedly greatly increase, giving them more choices.

Even if the Assimilating Soul Sect discovered their plan and turned against them, the Qi family would still have plenty of room to maneuver.

In the Demon Realm, where demonic cultivators competed fiercely, mercy towards others was never the priority. It was all about the survival of the fittest, strength above all, and the strong being respected.

As long as the Qi family possessed a ghost infant that was even more mysterious and terrifying than a Foundation Building Stage cultivator, even if the Assimilating Soul Sect knew the truth, they would most likely handle it with care.

Without exaggeration, the Qijia endured humiliation and carried heavy burdens, all for the sake of this ghost infant that can be compared to the Foundation Building Stage.

They paid almost a century of time from two or three generations of their family, countless resources, a spiritual vein, and the backlash of their ancestral karma. The cost was the dispersal of their souls and even the unexpected inclusion of the last three high-level Qi Refining stage cultivators in the family. Only success was allowed, failure was not.

But things don't always go as planned. Just the unexpected betrayal of Zheng Yi, this fierce dragon crossing the river, ruined the Qijia's hundred years of effort.

If the Qijia ancestors were to find out, they would probably come to seek revenge from Zheng Yi even if they had to become ghosts.

Of course, he definitely won't have that chance.

As the ancestral bloodline, the mastermind behind all this planning, the immense backlash of blood karma has long caused his soul to disperse, unable to even enter the cycle of reincarnation.

A hundred years of planning, all for nothing.

"You really are a monster. You're already so fierce before you're even born. What will you be like when you're actually born?!"

"Even if you haven't been born yet, an ordinary mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator probably wouldn't be able to do anything to you..."

"You're just unlucky to have encountered me. Do you really think you can escape from my grasp?"

Zheng Yi's face was solemn, his expression serious, and the blue flames on the Soul-Capturing Banner in his hand were rolling.

Endless Yin energy filled the sky. At this moment, he activated the full power of this life-bound Law Weapon.

The spiritual energy within Zheng Yi's body poured in without reservation. Strange red bloodlines appeared on the surface of the Soul-Capturing Banner, crisscrossing and forming ninety-nine ghostly seals of binding. Amidst the chilling wind, ferocious Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts emerged.

"Yi!"

Truly a forbidden technique and ghost creature that the heavens and earth cannot tolerate, this blood fetus ghost infant already had some level of intelligence even though it was still a long time away from being born.

Feeling the deadly danger emanating from the Soul-Capturing Banner in Zheng Yi's hand, the blood fetus ghost infant curled up into a ball.

It desperately tried to show an innocent expression, making urgent baby sounds. Its sharp teeth and claws had already retracted, displaying a cute baby-like appearance.

Binding ghosts, controlling Yin and Yang!

Those not of our clan will have different hearts.

Remember! Remember!

Zheng Yi clearly remembered that in front of the inner sect gate of the Assimilating Soul Sect, there stood a stone tablet with a phrase engraved on it that he still remembered very deeply.

Due to the Assimilating Soul Sect's frequent dealings with ghost creatures, they encountered all kinds of strange and varied creatures. Some had tragic experiences before their deaths, some were forced to die, some were dismembered and slaughtered, and so on. All the experiences before death were extremely tragic.

But anything said by ghost creatures cannot be trusted.

This has become the first iron rule of the Assimilating Soul Sect.

When facing ghost creatures, no matter how tragic their fate was in life, one must not hesitate to take action against them.

Because once a person's grievances turn them into a ghost, Yin energy is born, and they are no longer the person they were in life, but a different kind of race.

Those not of our clan will have different hearts.

This truth was derived from the experiences of countless generations of ancestors and countless cultivators who personally experienced it.
