Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 202 - 125: The Eighth Basement Level? (Part 3)

"Collect!"

At this moment, the surrounding environment had turned empty, and Zheng Yi formed a spell with his hands. The massive black Human Skin Banner expanded in the wind, creating a gigantic magic realm, which swept towards the void.

The only two remaining, severely wounded Ghost Kings couldn't even resist. They were attacked by countless Ghost Soldiers and Fierce Ghosts, suppressed and unable to fight back.

Soon, they were absorbed into the White Bone Soul-Catching Banner.

The surface of the entire White Bone Soul-Catching Banner emitted a hazy black light, as if it had swallowed something highly nourishing, causing its aura to surge dramatically.

Originally, after several upgrades by Zheng Yi, the White Bone Soul-Catching Banner had only given birth to one blue-faced, tusked Ghost King Main Soul.

But now, all the Ghost Soldiers and Fierce Ghosts were overly nourished, and the Soul-Catching Banner had consecutively swallowed the Black God Group's chairman and four board members, along with the Fierce Ghosts they had painstakingly summoned and controlled, which could be considered highly nourishing.

Once again replenished by a large influx of ghost qi, the banner erupted with brilliant radiance.

Meanwhile, as the master of the Soul-Catching Banner, Zheng Yi was pleasantly surprised. He could distinctly feel that a tremendous transformation was occurring within the White Bone Soul-Catching Banner.

This enormous Hundred Ghosts Banner, due to the excessive amount of devoured souls and ghosts, not only greatly enhanced the strength of the original Main Soul, but also began to brew the birth of the "First Main Soul," "Second Main Soul," and "Third Main Soul"...

For the White Bone Soul-Catching Banner, this transformation was more significant than anything. It was a qualitative leap, because for Demon Dao Spiritual Artifacts like this, the true foundation is not just the quantity of ghosts, but their quality.

And the Ghost King, without a doubt, is a threshold.

With the sudden birth of the other three Main Souls, this White Bone Soul-Catching Banner was undoubtedly further elevated, evolving into a prototype of the Thousand Soul Banner.

"Huh! Why can't I retrieve it?!"

But at this moment, Zheng Yi also discovered a problem.

Originally, being his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact, it was akin to his own arm, and he could easily retrieve it.

But now, the White Bone Soul-Catching Banner seemed to be in a special state. The shimmering radiance on its surface continued to evolve, unexpectedly refusing Zheng Yi's attempt to retrieve it.

This indicated that this Lifebound Spiritual Artifact had essentially reached another level and seemed capable of undergoing new evolutionary transformations.

Of course, these were just his speculations.

But now, the fact that the White Bone Soul-Catching Banner could not be retrieved remained indisputable.

Looking at the Soul-Catching Banner suspended in the center of the room, its surface resembling a giant black cloud, emanating brilliant radiance and a certain mysterious transformative aura, Zheng Yi could only temporarily abandon his efforts.

"Go ahead and evolve, stay here for now!"

The evolution of the White Bone Soul-Catching Banner was not over, and Zheng Yi did not know how long it would take. He still had other matters to attend to and had to leave the artifact here for now.

After all, without his blood qi and magical power, other Fierce Ghosts could not approach the White Bone Soul-Catching Banner, and there was no fear of anyone stealing it.

Thus, the White Bone Soul-Catching Banner was left to evolve here for the time being, as he had more important matters to deal with.

Using Divine Thought, he scanned the entire office, thoroughly inspecting every corner, yet he still did not find anything significant.

This caused Zheng Yi to furrow his brows.

He didn't find any anomalies, but sometimes, the absence of anomalies was the biggest anomaly.

After all, the Black God Mansion was the core of the entire Black God Group. It should have more defensive forces. Even though it had turned into a massive ghost realm, nearly descending into an alternate dimension, its foundational existence still left Zheng Yi puzzled.

But for the moment, he couldn't find any other issues.

The faint and fleeting sense of insecurity in his heart made him firmly believe that he must have overlooked something?

Could it be that one of the three major organizations in Luo City, the Black God Group, was just like this?

Zheng Yi remembered clearly that he had walked up from the first floor step by step, not discovering any anomalies along the way. He originally thought the source of the alternate dimension was hidden at the top, on the so-called thirty-sixth floor.

But now, it seemed inaccurate.

Or rather, not entirely accurate.

Some hidden condition seemed to have been overlooked by him.

"If it's not above, could it be below?!"

Zheng Yi couldn't figure it out, feeling slightly frustrated as he looked down, when suddenly, a thought surfaced from deep within his mind.

A bold idea emerged in his mind. Although unconfirmed, it led Zheng Yi to associate many things.

Since the secret of the entire Black God Mansion was not on the top floor, then it was very likely buried underground. This would also align with logic.

Moreover, such a massive building couldn't possibly lack a basement; there might even be a huge, hidden underground space.

Arriving at the executive office's direct elevator, Zheng Yi discovered it required fingerprint and iris verification. With no time for such trivialities, he resorted to brute force.

The massive elevator plummeted, revealing the dark, shadowy elevator shaft with hints of mysterious aura seeping out. Without hesitation, Zheng Yi leaped down.

The immense sense of weightlessness would have made an ordinary person dizzy, but Zheng Yi's physique, honed to the Foundation Establishment stage, found this trivial.

Even if he jumped from the thirty-sixth floor, it wouldn't kill him; at most, he'd get a few scrapes.

"As expected, the elevator conceals an entrance below."

Zheng Yi's Divine Soul surged wildly, scanning along the elevator shaft. He confirmed that besides the thirty-six above-ground floors, there were eight levels of underground space in the Black God Mansion.

It's likely that here lies the deepest, most profound secret of the entire Black God Group.

Without the evolving Hundred Ghosts Banner, Zheng Yi plunged straight down into the first underground level.

He began to systematically scour each floor vertically.

Strangely, the lower he went, although the Yin Qi grew heavier, the wandering ghosts decreased in number.

It's unknown if the ghosts inside the building were all consumed by the Five Ghosts, but the ghostly presence in the underground levels felt significantly weaker to Zheng Yi.

The air seemed fresher, no longer filled with the scent of blood and massacre.

Feeling puzzled, he continued exploring the underground spaces, room by room, determined to miss nothing.

Thus, Zheng Yi meticulously inspected each underground layer, progressing along the elevator shaft, until finally, he landed on the lowermost level of the entire alternate dimension building—the eighth underground level!
