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

Chapter 89: Offering the Treasure, Blood Demon Dao Cultivators

In the valley, there were dozens of Qi family cultivators scattered about, each wearing only a pair of shorts, emitting a crimson red glow from their bodies.

On their chests, there was a vivid red bat tattoo, appearing lifelike as if a living blood bat was imprinted on their muscles and skin.

After integrating with the parasitic bat eggs, these Qi family cultivators developed a special blood demon physique, allowing them to absorb essence blood and spiritual energy to enhance their cultivation.

Beside them was a huge pool, constantly being supplied with fresh blood.

As they practiced their techniques, the thick blood in the pool evaporated, transforming into strands of bloody aura that wafted around. The Qi family cultivators inhaled and swallowed this aura, which flowed into their meridians along with their spiritual energy.

A faint scent of blood permeated the air. The Qi family cultivators, who had already transformed into blood demons, became increasingly pale, occasionally flashing abnormal blood-red hues. However, their aura grew stronger and deeper.

These cultivators had set up a large Spirit Gathering array beneath their feet, with each node adorned with low-grade spirit stones. With the cultivation of the Blood Demon Dao techniques, "Blood Refining Demon Art" and "Blood God's Claw," the spirit stones continuously released abundant spiritual energy.

Standing at a high point, Zheng Yi's gaze flickered. Although he was far away, he could clearly see the abnormalities occurring on the Qi family cultivators who were practicing below.

He could clearly see that almost every Qi family cultivator practicing the "Blood Refining Art" had grown a freely moving, ferocious bat head on their neck, chest, or back.

With their small eyes and sharp fangs, these bat heads greedily devoured the mixed aura of blood, essence, and spiritual energy in the surroundings.

This made these cultivators appear extremely strange. Having already transformed into blood demons, they now had an additional peculiar bat head.

This could be considered a side effect that wasn't too detrimental.

The unique form of the parasitic bat allowed it to integrate with cultivators from the Dayi Immortal Domain, but it wasn't a matter of one devouring the other. Instead, they mutually integrated and parasitized each other.

Therefore, these parasitic bat eggs themselves did not completely die, but rather formed an alternative symbiotic relationship with the cultivators. It was because of this that the Qi family cultivators obtained a talent similar to blood spiritual roots, making their cultivation of the Blood Demon Dao techniques twice as effective, allowing them to progress rapidly.

"These bat heads are the symbiotic bodies of the parasitic bats. However, they have low intelligence and only possess instincts. The control over the body is still primarily determined by the cultivator's will. They don't have much impact on the body, but instead greatly enhance the cultivator's strength, speed, and endurance during battles and the practice of blood refining techniques," Qi Lin respectfully stood by Zheng Yi's side, deliberately positioning himself half a step behind Zheng Yi. His attitude was exceptionally deferential as he pointed to the bat heads growing on the bodies of the Qi family cultivators in the valley.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yi nodded slightly.

He had a conjecture in his mind. After integrating with the parasitic bats, these cultivators spontaneously developed blood spiritual roots and acquired a physique similar to blood demons, allowing them to cultivate the Blood Demon Dao techniques.

And this bat head was actually a necessary characteristic.

Since Qi Lin said that the bat head didn't harm the body, didn't compete for control with the cultivator, and instead greatly enhanced the parasite's strength, speed, and stamina, it could be said that it had many benefits. The slight side effect was not a big deal.

Unlike righteous cultivators, demonic cultivators, especially those who lived in extremely harsh environments, didn't care much about what grew on their bodies as long as it enhanced their strength.

After all, some demonic cultivators abandoned their human race entirely in order to increase their strength, transforming themselves into zombies or even some kind of monster.

Such things happened every day in the Demon Realm.

Moreover, based on the data and research results from Zheng Yi's recent observations and the research conducted by the Blood Warriors in the doomsday world, if the strength of these Qi family cultivators could be raised to a certain level or perfectly integrated with the parasitic bats, completely merging their flesh and blood, these peculiarities of their bodies could be released or concealed.

"Of course, there is also a drawback."

Qilin hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak.

"These modified cultivators, after their bodies have been transformed into blood monsters, develop a fanatic addiction to fresh blood. Through testing, it has been found that the higher the level of the creature's blood containing spiritual power, the stronger the temptation for them."

"Therefore, these Blood Monster Cultivators need to regularly replenish a certain amount of essence blood. Otherwise, they are prone to losing control, losing their rationality, and going mad, attacking other cultivators indiscriminately."

What Qilin said, Zheng Yi had already anticipated in his heart.

After all, the ancestor of the parasitic bat, Cain, was a mutant demon fetus, a creature that should not have been born normally. It inherited the bloodline of the blood bat from the Dayi Immortal Domain, as well as a more corrosive zombie bloodline.

It is precisely because the zombie bloodline itself has an intense craving and addiction to fresh blood, as well as a desire to attack, that these cultivators who have undergone the transformation of the parasitic bat may lose control without the replenishment of essence blood.

Even the first batch of surviving zombie bat warriors in the post-apocalyptic world need to consume a large amount of essence blood from living creatures, zombie crystals, or blood beads refined from zombie flesh to quickly increase their strength.

The cultivators of the Dayi Immortal Domain are not ordinary people themselves. Their bodies have been specially modified with spiritual energy, making them more in line with their origins. Their blood monster physique is more suitable for cultivation, and their self-control and willpower are stronger.

Just the need for regular replenishment of essence blood can suppress the strong desire for killing deep in their souls, which is already a much better result.

Of course, from this point, it can also be seen that in two worlds with completely different energy levels, the world of high spirits has a stronger adaptability and resistance than the world without spirits, even surpassing the creatures and humans in that world.

Or it can be said that the cultivators in the Dayi Immortal Domain have a higher level of evolution compared to the ability users in the post-apocalyptic world.

On the other hand, Zheng Yi became even more certain of one thing. He deeply suspected, and even had ideas and evidence.

The calamities in the post-apocalyptic world are definitely not just caused by the so-called zombie virus. There must be deeper reasons and some kind of mysterious power involved, otherwise, the source of the zombie bloodline would not have formed.

It is even more impossible for a cultivator from the Dayi Immortal Domain to be infected by a mere zombie virus.

Even a low-level Qi Refining stage cultivator who can transform their physique into a bloodline similar to a half-blood monster and half-human state is by no means simple.

There are similar things in the Dayi Immortal Domain, but they are all precious treasures of heaven and earth.

Standing at a high place, Zheng Yi looked at the valley, watching the increasingly intense fluctuations caused by the blood refining technique practiced by the Qilin cultivators in the valley, and the faint red blood mist slowly rising in the air.

These are highly corrosive Yin Erosion Blood Demons, which are delicious seasonings for cultivators practicing the Blood Demon Dao.

But what is honey to them is poison to cultivators practicing righteous techniques.

Once they come into contact with Yin Erosion Blood Demons, the result is bound to be the corrosion of their spiritual nature and damage to their Dao Foundation. It is not uncommon for them to lose their lives carelessly.

The Dao disappears and people perish, this is not a joke.

As the Qilin cultivators continued their practice, the Yin Erosion Blood Demons gradually enveloped the entire valley.

From a distance, the entire valley seemed to be shrouded in a layer of red mist, giving off a strange and eerie aura.

It can be concluded that as more and more modified cultivators practice the Blood Demon Dao secret techniques and demonic arts here, this valley will eventually become a dangerous place where mortals are forbidden to enter.

Even now, because of the surging Yin Erosion Blood Demons, there is no vegetation in every corner of the valley, let alone any living creatures. Even ants and insects cannot be seen. The ultimate result is that even the rocks will be completely contaminated by the blood aura.

Zheng Yi stood at a high place, just watching and listening quietly to Qilin's report, without speaking, until the first round of blood refining practice by the Qilin cultivators below ended, he nodded silently.

After integrating with the parasitic bat eggs, he found that these cultivators with blood monster physiques had slow progress in practicing other types of techniques. However, if they practiced the Blood Demon Dao techniques and demonic arts, their progress would be greatly accelerated, often achieving twice the result with half the effort.

Although it was only one cultivation session, Zheng Yi could feel that the strength of these Qilin cultivators was visibly increasing.

This kind of progress can be clearly felt.

"After the Integrated Union parasitic bat eggs, the cultivators with Blood Demon physique are practically born Blood Demon Dao seeds. Although they are still limited by the grade of the parasitic bat eggs and the cultivators' own aptitude, their bloodline aptitude has clearly improved significantly."

Indeed, after conducting experiments on death row cultivators, the Qí family's group of people involved in the entire plan did not have much time, but many of them have made initial progress in practicing the Blood Demon Dao secret techniques, and there are numerous breakthroughs in cultivation levels.

According to Qí Lín's report, the first batch of combat power should be formed within two years. There are several pillars in the peripheral branches who are already in the middle stage of Qi Refining, so breaking through to the advanced stage of Qi Refining should be a piece of cake.

Because of such examples, these peripheral branch disciples of the Qí family, who have finally obtained opportunities for advancement, have become more serious and diligent in their cultivation.

After all, in the Demon Realm, strength has always been the capital. Only when you are strong enough can you truly stand out in this fiercely competitive place.

Moreover, they are also full of gratitude towards Zheng Yi, the nominal highest leader who changed their fate. As for being controlled by others, it is not even within their consideration.

After all, even before encountering Zheng Yi, they were still at the bottom of the entire family, being sucked dry by the main branch and obeying orders.

The performance of the first batch of Blood Monster Cultivators greatly satisfied Zheng Yi.

Their actions are worthy of the hard work and time spent by Zheng Yi to develop the parasitic bat eggs.

At this moment, Qí Lín spoke up.

"These are just some data regarding their cultivation and potential..."

"Now, let the Lord see their state during battle!"

Zheng Yi nodded, and Qí Lín immediately made a gesture towards the cultivators in the valley.

In the valley, the already intense surging Yin Eclipse Blood Miasma suddenly boiled.

But what could be seen was that the leading cultivator let out a long roar, and his whole body was completely enveloped by the surging Blood Miasma.

The bat tattoo on his chest twisted, and a ferocious blood bat struggled out from the skin on his chest. Spreading its wings, it transformed into a bat about two meters in size, directly soaring into the air and hovering above the cultivator's head.

Obviously, the bat tattoo that appeared on his chest was not just for show, but had a practical function.

By consuming a certain amount of essence blood, the Blood Monster Cultivator could release the blood bat, which would then hover in the air to investigate the surroundings. This can be considered a kind of innate skill, greatly enhancing their adaptability.

Moreover, with its sharp fangs and claws, the blood bat already looked quite fierce and undoubtedly possessed a certain level of attack power.

Just imagine, when the Qí family's Blood Monster Cultivators are fighting against enemies, if this blood bat were to launch a surprise attack, the outcome of the battle would likely be reversed in an instant.

Looking at the cultivator himself, his whole body was surging with a vigorous blood-colored aura. His fingers had unknowingly transformed into sharp blade-like claws, which could pose a threat of disembowelment with just one grab.

Furthermore, the changes in his face were not insignificant. First, his ears became pointed and stood upright, his eyes became smaller and emitted a suffocating red light, and his face became somewhat distorted, resembling an enlarged bat's head.

These changes made the cultivator, who fully unleashed his Blood Demon physique, appear somewhat ugly, but also exuded a certain brutal aura. Those small gem-like eyes staring at you would inexplicably give you a sense of fear.

Swish!

A figure flashed, and at this moment, another Qí family Blood Monster Cultivator directly leaped onto a boulder more than ten meters away.

Zheng Yi's gaze slightly condensed as he watched the leaping figure, which seemed like a red lightning, constantly jumping between the rocks at an extremely fast speed.

This person only had a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation base. If it were an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator, their speed would definitely not be this fast.

But now, relying solely on the power of the physical body, the speed has increased so much, it is simply a leap, unless it is a Body Refining cultivator specializing in speed, otherwise a general Qi Refining cultivator of the same level would never be able to achieve this level.

There is also a person lifting hundreds of kilograms of giant stones, continuously lifting and putting them down, the whole movement is extremely smooth, lifting hundreds of times in a row before putting them down, the face only slightly flushed, breathing not even panting, it seems there is still energy left.

Zheng Yi's gaze condensed, understanding it. These Integrated Union parasitic bat eggs, possessed by cultivators with Blood Demon physique, after inheriting the Blood Spirit Root, not only have control over blood, but their own physique is no longer that of a normal human cultivator, but more akin to the physical agility of bat demons.

Both the physical body and bloodline talent have greatly improved.

This experiment with Integrated Union parasitic bats can be said to be very successful, exceptionally smooth. Although there are some minor side effects, it doesn't matter for demonic cultivators. As long as it benefits their combat power and future cultivation, it's fine.

And this is exactly what Zheng Yi needs.

Just as Qi Lin reported, cultivators with Blood Demon physique have made significant progress in their aptitude for cultivating the Blood Demon Dao, as well as in strength, speed, reaction speed, and other aspects. They even have the ability to release blood bats for reconnaissance, making them a comprehensive force.

With these cultivators possessing Blood Demon physique, the Qi family's strength has multiplied in a short period of time.

Of course, even if these Blood Monster Cultivators are strong, Zheng Yi has no fear.

He is not afraid that these Qi family cultivators have great potential and strong strength, but rather that they are not strong enough, not big enough.

On the one hand, no matter how strong they become, they cannot progress as quickly or undergo as great a transformation as Zheng Yi. After all, he has the entire resources of the apocalypse behind him, and his Foundation Building is just around the corner.

On the other hand, and more importantly, because of the source of their bloodline, as long as the blood bat ancestor is held in Zheng Yi's hands, it is equivalent to grasping the ultimate lifeline, which can fully ensure the absolute loyalty of these Blood Monster Cultivators.

This is the terrifying aspect of bloodline control.

The Blood Bat Palace controls the source of many blood bats in the Great Yi Demon Realm precisely because of the existence of the blood bat ancestor, thereby occupying a place in the Demon Realm.

"But it is impossible for these Blood Monster Cultivators to form combat power in a short period of time."

Zheng Yi carefully evaluated it. It would take at least half a year for these Blood Monster Cultivators to form combat power, and even longer to cultivate them on a systematic scale, at least two to three years.

This is determined by the quantity of the blood essence of the blood bat ancestor. It takes a lot of time to breed enough parasitic bats in this unique form.

After finishing the evaluation, Zheng Yi did not rush to leave the Qi family in the Great Yi Demon Realm because Qi Lin said there was a treasure to offer.

...

Under Zheng Yi's secret manipulation, the Qi family has undergone earth-shaking changes in recent days, expanding to more than a dozen caravans, and the business of soul stones has become more prosperous.

After several rounds of expansion, the Qi family has also undergone a major transformation.

The Qi family's main hall has also been renovated, becoming more magnificent and spacious.

Sitting in the upper position, Zheng Yi looked down at the person brought by Qi Lin.

"I am Qi Yue, the person in charge of one of the twenty-seven newly established caravans of the family. I have come to present a small gift to the Lord."

A short and chubby young man, quite nervous, followed Qi Lin closely. He looked up and saw Zheng Yi sitting in the upper position without speaking, swallowed his saliva, and said.

After being influenced in the gathering place of the apocalypse, Zheng Yi is no longer the lowly Independent Cultivator struggling for food in Xuan Kong City. He already has the majesty of a superior.

Sitting there, even without saying a word, the pressure of authority emanating from him still makes people feel a deep sense of awe and suppression from the bottom of their hearts.

Qi Lin walked over, took the treasure presented by Qi Yue, and handed it to Zheng Yi.
