Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 364: Blood Pill

The blood cloud enveloped.

Living creatures wailed in despair.

Only to see the overwhelming blood cloud cover the world, the vast territory of ten thousand miles was without a ray of sunlight. Below, the city was shrouded in the blood cloud, and all the people were in utter fear, wishing to escape its realm, but the blood cloud’s reach was too vast, mortal power utterly unable to flee.

At this moment.

A cultivator guarding the city rose into the sky. Gazing at the blood cloud, his eyes were filled with terror yet more so with rage.

"What manner of demon dares to perform such blood sacrifices upon mortals, do you not fear the wrath of the Immortal Sect? Our Ancient Moon Dynasty is affiliated with the Immortal King Sect. If you retreat now, I, as a humble cultivator, will let bygones be bygones!"

As these words fell.

A cold and eerie voice sounded in the cultivator’s ear.

"Heh heh, the name of the Immortal King Sect is indeed great, but attempting to scare the Ancestor with such a name is somewhat underestimating our Blood Transformation Demon Sect!"

"Blood Transformation Demon Sect..."

Upon hearing this name, the cultivator’s complexion turned deathly pale.

He had never imagined that the demonic cultivators attacking the Ancient Moon Dynasty were from the top-tier demonic power, the Blood Transformation Demon Sect.

Moreover, within the Blood Transformation Demon Sect, only the Blood Transformation Ancestor was worthy of calling himself Ancestor.

Upon realizing this.

The cultivator’s heart was immediately overwhelmed with despair.

But before he could utter another word, the blood cloud trembled. A strange force clung to his body, and within a breath’s time, the cultivator’s entire life essence was drawn away, leaving only a desiccated corpse to fall.

Witnessing this scene.

The people and officials of the city all displayed faces of despair.

"The Immortal Master is dead!"

"Are we really all going to die here?"

"I am not willing, I don’t want to die!"

"Save me, who can save me..."

The cries of lament spread throughout the city. Above the blood cloud, the Blood Transformation Ancestor wore a cold expression, watching the mortals struggle for survival with a trace of eerie blood-red in his eyes.

Then.

He directly activated the Blood Cloud Array.

All living creatures within the array were forcibly stripped of their life essence, continuously absorbed into the blood cloud.

As their life forces were drawn away, mortal bodies turned into desiccated corpses.

A vast number of living creatures fell, grievances reached the heavens.

Countless forces of resentment gathered into an unparalleled Ghost King, roaring in rage, charging towards the blood cloud.

The Blood Transformation Ancestor saw this, a fervent expression on his face.

"Good, good, good, I never thought such a grudge could directly give rise to a Ghost King. Just as our ancestor’s Soul Refining Banner lacks a Ghost King, you shall fill the spot!"

Ghost King!

Elsewhere, it would be equivalent to a Void Refining Stage power.

But to truly nurture a Ghost King is not a simple thing.

Either the spirit of a fallen creature doesn’t perish, gradually cultivating to the realm of Ghost King by chance, or as it is now, forcibly giving rise to a Ghost King by gathering the resentment of all beings.

Yet the latter has a very low chance of true success.

After all, slaughtering living creatures doesn’t always mean a true condensation of resentment to nurture a Ghost King.

Therefore.

The Blood Transformation Ancestor hadn’t expected that slaughtering the Ancient Moon Dynasty’s populace would truly give rise to such a formidable Ghost King.

Faced with a Ghost King comparable to the Void Refining Stage, other cultivators would certainly not be equal to the task.

But the Blood Transformation Ancestor is different.

He himself is a strong figure in the late Void Refining stage, later cultivating the Celestial Demon True Technique, transforming all his demon techniques into Celestial Demon True Qi. His strength leapt forward, enough to suppress the ordinary perfect stage of Void Refining.

Moreover, the Blood Transformation Demon Sect’s methods also considerably counter the Ghost Dao, so a newly emerged Ghost King holds no threat. Even against a supreme Ghost King, the Blood Transformation Ancestor is sure of his ability to suppress it.

With a wave of his hand, a black Ancient Banner appeared.

The Ancient Banner expanded in the wind, very quickly growing to a hundred zhang in size.

Black mist surged forth, seemingly filled with the wailing and roaring souls of countless beings. Chains of black extended out, directly binding the Ghost King, who struggled fiercely, shattering several chains, but could never truly break free.

Soon.

The Ghost King was forcibly dragged into the Soul Refining Banner.

But upon closer inspection, one could see a figure violently struggling within the Ancient Banner, as if attempting to break free of its bonds.

But this struggle did not last long, gradually subsiding.

Immediately.

The Soul Refining Banner erupted with a powerful aura, instantly falling into the Blood Transformation Ancestor’s hands.

Upon sensing the power contained within the Soul Refining Banner, a smile immediately appeared on the Blood Transformation Ancestor’s face.

"With this Ghost King overseeing, the Soul Refining Banner can rival seventh-grade top-tier Dao Artifacts. As long as the soul power collected over the years is all injected into the Ghost King, it might directly give rise to a Ghost Emperor comparable to the Tribulation Stage.

By then, the Soul Refining Banner will surely step into the eighth grade!"

Since the creation of the Soul Refining Banner, the Blood Transformation Ancestor nurtured it for hundreds of years, killing countless living beings, plundering their soul power to integrate into the Ancient Banner.

But as there has never been a suitable soul to cultivate, the Blood Transformation Ancestor hadn’t utilized the accumulated power within the Soul Refining Banner.

Now, it is different.

The Ghost King birthed by the fallen souls of the Ancient Moon Dynasty holds considerable potential.

After all, being born a Ghost King, there’s ample room for future cultivation.

With sufficient soul nurturing, perhaps nurturing a Ghost Emperor one day is within the realm of possibility.

If indeed a Ghost Emperor comes under his control, the Blood Transformation Ancestor believes there will be none in the world who can halt his steps.

Before then.

If a Ghost Emperor can be created, it will significantly boost the strength of the Blood Transformation Demon Sect.

In the last great conflict.

The Blood Transformation Demon Sect’s only remaining Tribulation Stage expert fell.

Currently, the Blood Transformation Demon Sect lacks a Tribulation Stage expert to hold ground.

Generally speaking, a Ghost Emperor forcibly birthed from the Soul Refining Banner should be slightly weaker than an ordinary Tribulation Stage, but nonetheless, it’s an existence that can rival the Tribulation Stage, and naturally cannot be matched by Void Refining cultivators.

He put away the Soul Refining Banner.

The Blood Transformation Ancestor manipulated the Blood Cloud Array, gathering the life essence of the entire Water Moon Dynasty’s beings, ultimately condensing it into a drop-dead scarlet Blood Pill.

The Blood Pill appeared seductive, emanating a strange and evil power, yet the Blood Transformation Ancestor could keenly perceive the terrifying essence blood power contained within.

"According to the records in the Celestial Demon True Technique, this Blood Pill should be of low-grade level!"

Low-grade Blood Pills seem of low rank, but that’s not the case.

The Blood Pills in the Celestial Demon True Technique are not something easily crafted, requiring at least a million beings to barely forge a Blood Pill, and the success rate is not high.

Judging by the luster of the Blood Pill, it is, without doubt, of the top quality among low grades.

After all is said.

The Water Moon Dynasty isn’t too large.

Offering the entire dynasty to refine such a Blood Pill is already quite commendable.
