Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 88 - 87: Symbiotic Blood Demon

According to Zheng Yi’s own calculations, once a large-scale cultivation of Blood Bat Warriors is successfully achieved, the combat power of the entire settlement will rapidly expand at a speed more than tenfold, and then it can expand outward.

The initial target is to take over the whole of Luo City, seize more resources in the Doomsday World, which in turn can effectively feed back into the development of the settlement, becoming Zheng Yi’s right-hand ally.

The two complement each other, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Zheng Yi in any aspect.

...

"Have you heard? The settlement has started recruiting volunteers, claiming a kind of breakthrough in technology, and by merging something, you can become a superpower user; is this true?!"

"Yes! This news was personally announced by the highest official of the settlement, and it’s been said more than once. An announcement has been issued: the first batch is recruiting 100 volunteers, and if you want to try later, you must provide 1,000 settlement contribution points. The opportunity is very rare!"

"Then I must become a superpower user; I’ll sign up right now."

"You better forget it! The required personnel must reach a certain physique to be selected, and this experiment carries significant risk; only daredevils would try it."

"I still want to try. I’m tired of this miserable life—dying sooner is a quicker escape. What if I become a superpower user?"

A piece of news thoroughly ignited the entire settlement, and conversations like this were happening everywhere in the settlement.

With continuous development and construction, the settlement now has a population reaching around 30,000, constituting a rather large settlement.

News directly coming down from the upper echelons of the settlement sent everyone into a frenzy.

Being able to transition from an ordinary person to a superpower user—this is simply an opportunity to ascend to the heavens in one step.

In the Doomsday World, ordinary people are disposable waste, and even if they survive, they remain at the lowest tier of society, doing the most arduous work, consuming the most unpalatable food, and enduring the lowest living conditions, practically wishing for death over life.

Meanwhile, superpower users, no matter where they are, are always highly regarded guests by various powers, possessing extremely strong capabilities, holding significant power and influence, standing at the top of the pyramid, overlooking the plebeians, wielding the power of life and death, alongside other innumerable perks.

It’s no exaggeration to say that superpower users and ordinary people are almost like beings from two worlds, probably never to intersect in a lifetime.

Now, with such a chance to ascend to the heavens placed right in front of their eyes, it’s believed everyone but fools would make the right choice.

...

When the leader of the settlement handed over the list of applicants to Zheng Yi, it shocked him as well.

"Why are there so many?!"

The list showed as many as 3,700 people applying to participate in the experiment, a number far surpassing Zheng Yi’s expectations.

Initially, he thought, considering the experiment’s uncertainties, there would only be at most a thousand or so applicants. However, almost half of the young male population had applied, something he had clearly not anticipated.

Obviously, Zheng Yi was not native to the Doomsday World, thus he couldn’t understand these people’s perspectives.

"Select 100 suitable candidates from them, cultivate them, and then carry out the merging,"

instructed Zheng Yi.

These applicants, although all young males, many of them had not reached the required physique for merging due to prolonged hunger, thus needing a period of cultivation.

The previously collected Blood Rice and other food items, due to their limited production, had not been widely distributed, but now were just right for cultivating these experimenters.

Within just a week, these experimenters had met the physical standards, and under the settlement’s arrangements, they began the process of merging the Parasitic Bat Eggs.

Actually, this merging is quite straightforward: simply place the Parasitic Bat Egg at the position of the heart, leave an incision, and the egg will slowly enter the body and merge with the heart.

After attempting various methods, this was deemed the most reasonable and convenient merging approach. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

As this was the first merging ceremony, Zheng Yi personally supervised it, surrounded by numerous powerful superpower users to prevent any accidents.

Roar!

Within the fusion site, the tested person initially seemed normal, but soon his face flushed, eyes bulged, bloodshot, and full of pain.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth and let out a few shrill screams.

His skin gradually turned red and hot, then began to peel off little by little, with fingernails on both hands and feet growing at a visible pace, resembling sharp claws. From his back, a wound tore open, and a half-grown, fleshy red bat wing emerged, slightly moving before crashing onto the ground.

Just as he climbed up, a bloody human-shaped pattern was left on the ground. Eyeing others greedily, he lunged towards them.

"Stop!"

From the top, overlooking everything below, Zheng Yi pointed a finger, and instantly, that failed monster was paralyzed there, unable to move.

"Crush!"

With a flick of Zheng Yi’s fingers, the humanoid flesh monster was directly crushed into a mass of meat and fell onto the ground, after which someone took it away.

Aah!

With the death of the first mutated flesh monster, it was like a fuse. Instantly, figures fell screaming to the ground, turning directly into a mass of blurred flesh, obviously unable to withstand the powerful life force within the Parasitic Bat Eggs, and disintegrated.

In the end, only more than thirty humans survived.

"It seems the fusion rate of the Parasitic Bat Eggs isn’t very high!"

A mere thirty percent success rate made Zheng Yi frown slightly.

Roar! Roar!

Suddenly, the figures standing in the field started howling angrily at the sky. Each one’s clothing was torn apart, exposing muscular bodies, with lines of blood flowing within, their eyes gleaming a scarlet hue.

The fingernails on their hands began to grow crazily, crystalline like jade, tinged with the color of fresh blood, transforming into sharp claw blades. Their eyes turned completely red, teeth became sharp, and a pair of huge blood-colored bat wings spread from their backs, making their bodies slowly float up.

"Genuine Zombie Blood Bat Warriors!"

Seeing the Zombie Blood Bat Warriors flying up one by one, a slightly satisfied Zheng Yi nodded, then, with a sharp shout, had the blood hue fade from everyone’s eyes, the mutations retract, and they landed back on the ground.

Clearly, transforming into Blood Bat Warriors for the first time, the bloodthirsty aura made these ordinary people, who had suddenly gained great power, lose their souls, and only under Zheng Yi’s stern shout did they regain their clarity and recover.

"I survived? Succeeded?"

Astonished and joyful voices emerged one after another. Gazing at the blood-stained ground around them, they briefly stood there, in a daze.

Though clueless about what transpired, they discerned there might have been a mishap during the experiment, causing their companions not to evolve successfully.

"Congratulations on becoming Superpower Users!"

"You’ve become the first batch of Blood Warriors in the settlement, possessing powerful potential and strength!"

As Zheng Yi’s voice resonated, the dead quiet space burst into cheers. These individuals were led away, to be strictly trained, treated well, and become elites of the settlement. Their growth paths and development would be continuously monitored.

"In comparison to ordinary people, the evolution success rate for those with superpowers reached ninety percent, quite similar to that of the death-row inmates in the Great Yi City Immortal Realm."

Actually, aside from this batch of ordinary people, there were also some Superpower Users in the settlement who participated in the experiment to obtain greater power.

The experiment’s results were much better this time around. The fusion success rate with the Parasitic Bat Eggs could reach about ninety percent. Although it couldn’t enhance their superpower levels, it greatly boosted their energy value.

Currently, everyone likewise obtained the ability to transform, possessing the special blood-control superpower of Blood Warriors, and could absorb Zombie Crystal Cores and fresh blood for cultivation.

Meanwhile, on the Great Yi City Immortal Realm’s side, the Qi Family had also prepared quite a number of death-row inmates; in a place like the Demon Realm, becoming a death-row inmate, if not seen as offending the heavens and stirring the people’s wrath, at least marked as committing heinous crimes, with blood debts, and none innocent among them.

Zheng Yi felt zero psychological burden fusing with them.

Much like over on the side with Superpower Users, out of ten death-row cultivators, nine succeeded.

However, perhaps due to the completely different cultivation systems of the two worlds, the development and evolution paths were also dissimilar, resulting in obvious differences post-fusion with the Parasitic Bat Eggs, leading to the division into two distinctly different evolutionary forms.

Unlike the Blood Warrior system of the Doomsday World, which directly awakens blood-related superpowers alongside the sprouting of massive bat wings.

In the Great Yi City Immortal Realm, death-row cultivators fused with Parasitic Bat Eggs directly consumed vast amounts of Spiritual Qi, causing unique changes with the cultivation Spiritual Power system, and ultimately underwent fusion, akin to the birth process of a human-shaped Bat Demon.

Ultimately, successful fusion resulted in the emergence of a Blood Spirit Root within the individual, transforming their physique into something akin to a Blood Demon Physique.

Great Yi City Immortal Realm.

Demonic territory, Badong Town mining area, a Qi Family secret base.

This was a secluded valley, chosen after careful selection by Qi Lin, after Zheng Yi took control of the Qi Family. This place was desolate, with very few inhabitants.

Standing at a height, Zheng Yi overlooked the valley, as Qi Lin by his side provided a low-voiced explanation.

"Master, results from recent experiments and tests have basically rolled out."

"After those initial death-row cultivators participated in the Parasitic Bat Eggs fusion experiment, we obtained firsthand data confirming safety and stability. We have begun selecting some loyal family members for the final testing..."

"This test is conducted under absolute secrecy; all participants must issue a Celestial Dao Oath, and only after undergoing a test of conscience, confirming they pose no problem, can they enter... These are newly assimilated bat embryos by Qi Family cultivators."

"In the past, they were collateral family members, held low status, rarely entrusted, often marginalized with no hope of rising. Now, Master has given them a chance, and all are tearfully grateful, willing to lay down their lives for Master..."
