Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 75 - 74: Fierce Ghost Hospital

Whoosh!

The temperature of the flickering Demon Flame is exceedingly high, yet the heat is intensely restrained, contained within the large cauldron, while what spreads outward is an extremely chilling aura.

Instead of increasing the temperature of the Artifact Refining Room, it becomes even more chilling.

The bone-chilling cold seems capable of freezing souls, arising from deep within the spirit, enough to make one shiver involuntarily.

The Ink Spirit Evil, the fourth stage of the Black Evil Technique, has begun to possess the ability to corrode Spirit Bodies and even Divine Souls.

Finally, under the calcination of the Demon Flame within the cauldron, the expanded Soul-Catching Banner slowly returns to a hand-sized figure, yet it becomes increasingly exquisite and elegant, with the fierce ghost engravings on its surface seemingly embroidered with gold threads, and the flickering Demon Flame gradually extinguishes.

Zheng Yi nods in satisfaction, unable to hold back a sigh of relief, "Thankfully, it wasn’t a waste of effort!"

He mumbles to himself, reaching into the cauldron, and the Soul-Catching Banner whirls and easily flies into his hand.

Zheng Yi holds the small Demon Banner in his hand, observing carefully, and seeing the addition of vivid ghost carvings on the banner’s pole, he can’t help but nod.

These carvings are not an accidental creation but stem from countless fierce ghost shadow soldiers within the Soul-Catching Banner, merging with it during the calcination Artifact Refining process.

During battle, one can evoke the evil qi within the Soul-Catching Banner, significantly enhancing both the quality and combat power of the entire Demon Banner.

As for the shadows on the banner, besides the numerous gold-thread embroidered fierce ghost heads, at the center is a blood-red section, the vibrant color painting the Blood-clothed Female Ghost almost lifelike, taking up the position of the Main Soul.

"This time fortune was on my side; everything went so smoothly."

"This Lifebound Spiritual Artifact has also advanced to Upper-Grade Spiritual Artifact status in one fell swoop."

"The second refinement in the Three Offerings and Three Refinements has also finally succeeded."

It must be said that this time Zheng Yi’s entire refinement process was as flowing as running water, smoother than any previous simulated Artifact Refining he’d conducted.

The time spent was little, the effect was excellent, leaving Zheng Yi extremely satisfied.

Afterward, Zheng Yi reabsorbed the Soul-Catching Banner into his body, left seclusion, praised Qi Lin briefly, and entrusted him with a subsequent series of plans.

Zheng Yi once again returned to the Doomsday World.

...

Doomsday World, Luo City.

This ruinous city, shrouded beneath a mysterious Blood Moon, seems perpetually cloaked in faint mist.

Those cold auras are most suitable for entities like zombies and fierce ghosts to roam, and Zheng Yi senses that these ghostly beings are mutating, rapidly evolving; their varieties are not only increasing, but their numbers are swiftly escalating as well.

For a long time, Zheng Yi has suspected that the state of this world is inextricably linked to that eerie blood-colored moon appearing in the sky.

Even the appearance of zombies is certainly more than just a simple "zombie virus" explanation.

In such an environment, finding a demon cave or ghost nest isn’t particularly challenging.

Zheng Yi stands at the topmost part of the entire area, at the rooftop of a commercial building, his gaze like a torch, with spiritual qi gathered, clearer than the highest-power binoculars.

Through the Qi Observation Technique, he carefully discerns the source of the yin qi.

Ultimately, his gaze settles on a place that seems like a slaughterhouse.

This used to be a hospital in the center of the area, and after the Blood Moon’s arrival, with death tolls so high, it transformed into a terrifying ghost gathering ground.

Unlike other concealed demon caves or ghost nests, the ghosts here prefer to "hunt" outside.

Once night falls, the sun vanishes, and the blood-colored moon rises again; when yin qi is most abundant, it’s the time for numerous ghosts to mobilize collectively.

Like a night parade of hundreds of ghosts, they hunt down all the living creatures they encounter.

It’s an extremely dangerous area.

Zheng Yi has long known the reputation of this place and has observed it several times, understanding its danger, which is why he hasn’t taken action against it yet.

But now that the Soul-Catching Banner has smoothly upgraded to an Upper-Grade Spiritual Artifact, and the bottleneck of refining the Hundred Souls Banner has disappeared, he is ready to make his move.

Whoosh!

In the dead of night, a cold breeze sweeps through, the whistling chill swirling in the space.

Especially around this dilapidated hospital, black qi begins to rise, forming an even colder space.

As time progresses, some ghosts start appearing around, but judging by their auras, they aren’t particularly strong, seemingly just some minor spirits and formes.

When the time reaches after midnight, suddenly, the black qi thickens instantly, and in a moment, a black mist envelops the area.

Whoop! Whoop!

From within the black mist, strange noises occasionally emerge, mixed with footsteps, a baby’s cries, doors opening, and telephone ringing.

All the sounds intertwine, making the cold, dark environment appear extremely terrifying, instantly triggering one’s frail nerves.

At this moment, a shrill scream reaches Zheng Yi’s ears.

It’s a cold voice brimming with deathly presence, carrying a mysterious mind-bewitching effect which, if heard by an ordinary person, would freeze even their thoughts.

Within the black mist, phantoms appear faintly, and moments later, as the mist disperses, another scene appears before Zheng Yi’s eyes.

It’s a clean corridor, just an ordinary hospital passage, with white-coated doctors, nurses in uniform, and many patients.

Seemingly typical doctors and patients, no abnormalities, as long as you don’t look at their faces.

But under Zheng Yi’s Spirit Eye Skill, this Fierce Ghost Bewitching Soul illusion loses all its effect, and he can see clearly that none of these people are corporeal, all merely phantasms, meaning they’re all resentful spirits and fierce ghosts.

Especially the patients, their distorted and ferocious faces suggest they endured unimaginable pain before death, leading to such profound resentment accumulation.

This resentment is their last breath in this world.

Without dissipating, these resentful spirits and fierce ghosts must kill to ease the pain and release the resentment.

Under the leadership of several evil ghost doctors, a group of ghostly beings begins to move, their bodies floating in mid-air, faces pale, expressions wooden, but with eyes full of malice, spreading out along the wide streets in all directions.

"I’ve waited so long; would I just let you walk away?"

"Better obediently come into my Soul-Catching Banner; the ready duck can’t get away."

Boom!

Zheng Yi releases all the aura contained within his body, circulating his spiritual qi.

Blood qi surges, and in an instant, a surge of scorching blood qi bursts forth, akin to a floodlight switched on in the pitch dark of night, its illumination glaring to the eyes.
