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

Chapter 56: The Power of Karma and Merit

"Growing a little bit, almost imperceptible tiny improvement!"

Zheng Yi furrowed his brows.

Only after the horde of zombies in a town had been completely wiped out did Zheng Yi confirm his feeling that the golden seed had indeed grown.

As a result, more questions surged in his mind.

After a moment, as Zheng Yi compared the information in his mind with the data from the Dayi Immortal Domain, he still couldn't easily confirm.

But then, Zheng Yi's mind stirred, and a bold idea flashed in his head.

"This faint golden light, obtained from the heavens and earth after killing zombies..."

"I don't know the source, the specific circumstances, or even how it is generated, but it can exert a powerful suppressing effect on the backlash of the Soul-Capturing Banner..."

"Could it really be what I imagined?"

"However, it is still too early to draw conclusions now. I can't be sure, and I need to verify it again."

Thinking of this, Zheng Yi decided to calm down and carefully discern, not easily jumping to conclusions.

After collecting a small number of zombie crystal cores, he left once again.

...

Hoo hoo!

Under the setting sun, a sudden gust of wind blew in a hidden ruin.

The cold and eerie aura quickly spread to the surroundings, and grim phantoms appeared in the air one by one.

It was precisely a nest where Yin spirits and vengeful ghosts bred. From the scattered bones around, it could be seen that this place was once a terrifying death ground.

Under the blood moon's illumination, those deceased humans were unable to leave, and their breeding resentment reassembled, turning this place into a death zone, a gathering place for a large number of Yin spirits and vengeful ghosts.

Suddenly, in the distance, a figure shrouded in black clothes, emitting a faint black mist all over, strode towards this place, covering a distance of more than ten meters in a single step.

The speed was as fast as lightning, rushing over, and only stopping when it was close.

"This is a sinister and evil place. If it can be preserved for a hundred years, it will probably become a treacherous place."

It had to be said that in the post-apocalyptic world where spiritual energy was lacking, it was truly incredible for such a sinister and evil place to be born. In the Dayi Immortal Domain, it would require many conditions to create such a sinister and evil place, which the post-apocalyptic world did not possess at all.

It could only be said that this post-apocalyptic world was truly bizarre, having sacrificed the lives of the entire world and becoming strange and deviating from the normal trajectory of the world.

Roar!

When the figure appeared, the numerous condensed resentful spirits and fierce ghosts naturally noticed and roared, rushing towards this figure.

In an instant, the figure was enveloped in a blue shield, surrounded by ferocious ghosts extending sharp ghost claws.

Under the envelopment of the black mist, countless ghost hands crazily tore and tried to grab the figure inside, wanting to tear it apart.

"Let's begin!"

A blue flame suddenly soared, and those ferocious ghosts that were tainted by the blue flame were like ignited torches, instantly burning up.

The ghost creatures burned in large numbers, forming huge floating fireballs in the air. The pale green flames reflected on the faces of the figures, revealing clear features.

At the same time, Zheng Yi took out the Soul-capturing Banner. With a casual move, the small magic banner in the palm of his hand quickly expanded, rapidly turning into a flag that was half a meter long.

The pitch-black surface of the banner was covered with blood-colored patterns, condensing into eerie and elusive runes.

The Soul-capturing Banner fluttered in front of Zheng Yi, and at the center of the black mist was a vortex as tall as a person, as if it had formed a huge passage.

Led by the main soul of the Soul-capturing Banner, the Red-clothed Centennial Ghost, numerous Yin soldiers and ghost creatures swarmed towards the sky full of ghost creatures.

"It seems that it's not just about killing zombies..."

"Eliminating these resentful spirits and fierce ghosts also gives me an unknown power feedback..."

"That strand of golden light... has indeed grown."

The level of these Yin spirits and resentful ghosts was higher than that of the zombie horde. After annihilating a large number of ghost creatures, Zheng Yi noticed that the golden seed in his sea of consciousness seemed to shine brighter.

The nests of Yin spirits and resentful ghosts that bred in the wilderness were naturally no match for the Yin soldiers and ghost creatures in the Soul-capturing Banner. They were swept away by the Yin soldiers led by the Red-clothed Ghost.

The Soul-capturing Banner also absorbed the source of the evil aura that nurtured the ghost creatures inside.

Seeing that the ghost creature nest in front of him had been swept away, Zheng Yi controlled the Soul-capturing Banner.

With a command from his mouth, the black mist once again formed a huge vortex passage, and the main soul of the Red-clothed Ghost led the Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts back.

This time, after devouring numerous resentful spirits, the strength of the Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts was once again enhanced. However, with Zheng Yi's summons, they obediently returned to the Soul-capturing Banner without any provocation or collision, unlike before when they had a slight subconscious resistance.

After being illuminated by the mysterious golden light, these Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts in the Soul-capturing Banner seemed to have been cleansed of some resentment and evil aura, and their thinking became much clearer.

They were no longer in the state of going berserk and killing as soon as they were stained with blood, nor were they a confused gathering of resentful spirits. They seemed to have gained some self-awareness and showed more awe and fear towards Zheng Yi, the master of the Soul-capturing Banner.

Their strength had once again greatly increased, but this time, they did not dare to provoke or collide with anything. Instead, they obediently returned to the Soul-capturing Banner.

"That's right! Perhaps the mysterious golden light is indeed the power of merit that I imagined, which can only be sensed by high-level cultivators in the Dayi Immortal Domain..."

"It's just that I have never heard of any kind of power of merit that can form a semi-physical state that can be directly detected..."

"And this power of merit in the doomsday world, since it can be obtained so easily, just by killing zombies and fierce ghosts?"

The power of merit, according to the rumors in the Dayi Immortal Domain, is a kind of heavenly feedback that can only be sensed or utilized by high-level cultivators.

Generally, only by performing great meritorious deeds or by killing the heads of bloodthirsty Great Demons can one obtain this power of merit as a kind of feedback.

This power has no effect on low-level cultivators, and they may not even sense it.

However, the reason why it has spread is based on the records and information circulated by various parties in the Dayi Immortal Domain. This power of merit is a kind of power that many high-level cultivators dream of.

Although it cannot be used for combat or cultivation, it has a miraculous effect. It can transform decay into magic and eliminate the karmic forces on high-level cultivators, thereby erasing or avoiding calamities.

Cultivators go against the natural order, plundering the resources of heaven, earth, and all things to benefit themselves, seeking longevity, boundless magical power, and limitless cultivation. But at the same time, unknowingly, they accumulate karmic forces throughout their lives.

Even those who cultivate in seclusion in the mountains and pursue purity and high virtue cannot escape this fate.

It's just that the depth of this karmic force varies.
