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

Chapter 5: The Soul of the Banner, Refining Ghosts

At this moment, Zheng Yi only just noticed that the red dress on the female ghost was not originally red, but rather dyed red with blood. From the style, it was vaguely recognizable as a school uniform.

The color on it was actually dyed with fresh blood, and it was hard to imagine how many people she had killed to turn it red.

Rip! Rip...

The red-dressed female ghost quickly tore at the Black Fiend Qi surging on the Soul Assimilating Banner. She seemed to understand that as long as she tore open the defense of the Black Fiend Qi, the mastermind hiding inside would have nowhere to hide.

Zheng Yi looked at the fierce red-dressed female ghost, but was not surprised. He swung the Soul Assimilating Banner in his hand, and a surge of Fiend Qi emerged, revealing a group of powerful and tall fierce ghosts, a total of eighteen or nineteen, all of which were his harvest in the past few days.

Accompanied by a wave of the Soul Assimilating Banner, they immediately roared and pounced on the red-dressed female ghost.

One against nineteen, at an absolute disadvantage in terms of quantity, but the red-dressed female ghost fought on par with the fierce ghosts.

It's important to note that the fierce ghosts in the Soul Assimilating Banner were carefully selected and had undergone mutual devouring, leaving only extremely powerful individuals. Compared to the ordinary fierce ghosts that appeared in the school, they were obviously much stronger.

However, at this moment, facing the red-dressed female ghost, they were still at an absolute disadvantage when fighting together. Instead, she would occasionally erupt and severely wound the fierce spirits in the Soul Assimilating Banner.

At this point, Zheng Yi couldn't help but wave the Soul Assimilating Banner. A stream of Black Fiend Qi accurately fell on the injured fierce ghost, and its broken body instantly returned to its original state.

Immediately after, it joined the battle to surround the red-dressed female ghost.

This was clearly cheating, with one side constantly recovering and gaining strength, making it impossible for the red-dressed female ghost to defeat these fierce ghosts.

"Do you still want to escape now? Unfortunately, there is no chance left."

After a full hour of battle, just as the red-dressed female ghost was exhausted and about to strike down a fierce ghost in front of her and make a sharp ghostly howl to prepare to escape.

But Zheng Yi saw the Soul Assimilating Banner wave, and the several fierce ghosts that were originally behind her disappeared in an instant, only to reappear in front of the red-dressed female ghost.

This was the trap he had prepared for the Ghost King of the school, the red-dressed female ghost. Once she broke into the range covered by the Soul Assimilating Banner, she would have no chance of leaving.

Under the siege of more than a dozen fierce ghosts, the red-dressed female ghost was finally exhausted and subdued, thrown into the Soul Assimilating Banner.

After all, Zheng Yi now knew that his strength was weak, and he would never take the risk himself, understanding the art of survival.

The Soul Assimilating Banner itself could manipulate fierce ghosts and spirits to attack, so there was no need for him to personally take action.

For a demonic cultivator, this Doomsday World was an endless treasure trove.

He didn't care about gains and losses for the time being.

Fortunately, after careful planning, everything went as desired.

Immediately after subduing the Ghost King, the red-dressed female ghost, Zheng Yi immediately felt a surge of Fiend Qi pouring out from the Soul Assimilating Banner, merging into his body.

The aura of the Black Fiend Technique within his body surged by a small margin, reaping considerable benefits.

After refining the red-dressed female ghost, it seemed that there were no more powerful ghosts in the school. Zheng Yi continued to refine the Soul Assimilating Banner for about ten days.

In the end, the Soul Assimilating Banner had refined a total of seventy-four fierce ghosts, and only then did Zheng Yi give up on this place.

"It took ten days to refine forty-nine fierce ghosts, which is already the limit for the Soul Assimilating Banner."

Zheng Yi thought with some frustration.

Refining forty-nine fierce ghosts in one go had already pushed the Soul Assimilating Banner to its limit, and it took even less time than Zheng Yi had imagined.

This showed how rich the cultivation resources were in this Doomsday World for demonic cultivators.

However, this limit was only for the Soul Assimilating Banner in Zheng Yi's hands.

Above it was the Law Weapon called the Hundred Souls Banner, which could refine one hundred fierce ghosts.

According to the techniques of the Soul Devouring Sect, if seven Hundred Souls Banners were arranged in a formation, their power would be equivalent to that of an early Foundation Building cultivator.

Zheng Yi waved the Soul Assimilating Banner in his hand.

With a sharp ghostly cry, within the gusts of yin wind, spiritual power crazily poured into his body. The black mist on the Soul Assimilating Banner surged, directly shrouding an area of over ten square meters.

In the black mist, terrifying howls could be heard, and faintly, one could see the looming figures of fierce monsters.

When the black mist dissipated, Zheng Yi held the huge black banner, the bronze handle held in his palm, and a huge black banner fluttered in the wind. On it appeared the likeness of forty-nine skulls.

At the same time, in the mist surrounding Zheng Yi's body, forty-nine grim figures of fierce ghosts appeared.

All of these fierce ghosts had devoured each other within the Soul Assimilating Banner, and the victorious ones had become increasingly fierce, exuding a thick black oily substance on their bodies.

It was the Fiend Qi, so dense that it felt substantial.

As a demonic sect specializing in manipulating spirits and ghosts, the Soul Devouring Sect naturally had its unique secrets and advantages in the Demon Realm.

Especially in the refinement of fierce ghosts and spirits, they had reached an extraordinary level, to the point that many sects with higher levels than the Soul Devouring Sect were far inferior in the art of controlling and binding ghosts.

This was one of the reasons why Zheng Yi ultimately chose to join the Soul Devouring Sect after careful consideration.

With only a cultivation level of the third layer of Qi Refining, he had few means of dealing with enemies aside from the fine steel flying sword in his hand.

If there were red-eyed zombies in the zombie horde, they would pose a great threat to him.

However, there were not so many problems in terms of ghost-binding spells.

The Soul Assimilating Banner of the Soul Devouring Sect was a natural nemesis to those spirits and fierce ghosts.

Even if he couldn't win, he could still escape. He could advance and retreat with discretion.

And what he currently held was only the lowest-level Soul Assimilating Banner, a mass-produced product for outer disciples of the Soul Devouring Sect, with a rough appearance but simple to use.

It was just right for him to use at the moment.

After all, the Soul Assimilating Banner, as a composite Law Weapon, was different from ordinary Law Weapons in that it could be updated and iterated.

The Soul Assimilating Banner consisted of two main parts: the Soul-capturing Rod and the Soul-refining Cloth.

When he had money or his cultivation level improved, the bronze Soul-capturing Rod could be completely replaced with a bone rod, and the ordinary Soul-refining Cloth could be updated to a Five Yin Cloth woven from soul spider silk, or a Thousand-Segment Brocade woven from ice silkworm silk.

Moreover, if he could obtain the method or the upgraded method of refining the Soul Assimilating Banner, it would be even better. He could completely refine, upgrade, and iterate it himself.

The entire interior of the Soul Assimilating Banner formed a huge space for spirits, much like the gu vessel used by the Five Poisons Sect to nurture gu.

It wasn't just a matter of capturing and confining spirits and ghosts; it was about letting these spirits and ghosts fight and devour each other, allowing the strongest fierce ghosts to emerge victorious and become increasingly powerful.

This was the core of the Soul Assimilating Banner.
