Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 262 - 145: Purple Demon Flame and Thousand Ghost Banner (Part 3)
On the other side was an elderly man, leaning on a cane, with a head full of white hair, sitting on the head of the towering Ghost King, his gray-yellow eyes emitting an incredibly greedy malice.
"Boy, since you're here, don't think about leaving. Perfect opportunity to nourish this old body of mine!"
He opened his mouth, revealing a full set of yellow teeth, letting out a suffocating, cold laugh.
"Perfect, I need to refine you too, so come on!"
Zheng Yi didn't waste any words with the elder and grandson ghosts, he simply waved his hand.
"Kill him!"
The old ghost's face turned grim as he ordered his grandson ghost, issuing a death command.
Suddenly, the gigantic grandson ghost's entire body erupted with Ghost Qi, expanding its massive frame, its veins bulging like countless earthworms. It roared, revealing sharp fangs, and charged at Zheng Yi.
The terrifying force made the ground tremble unceasingly, appearing above Zheng Yi in an instant, its colossal foot descending like a mountain.
"Demon Flame!"
Zheng Yi waved his right hand, carrying a hint of purple Profound Ink flame, quickly transforming it into a pitch-black demon palm that reached up, blocking the descending giant foot, while his other hand swept backward.
With a thunderous boom, the old ghost's body appeared mysteriously, evidently readying to ambush Zheng Yi, but didn't expect that everything was within Zheng Yi's anticipation.
"Old ghost, your opponents are them!"
Zheng Yi turned his gaze to the sinister old ghost, his icy voice echoed in the air.
Then, a peculiar light flickered in his eyes, and a pitch-black gourd appeared in front of him. Zheng Yi muttered incantations, and the Ghost Nurturing Gourd opened its mouth.
A great gust of dark wind blew through, among ghostly wails, a force surged out, black mist dispersed, transforming into the Three-headed Ghost King which lunged at the old ghost.
"Damn it!"
Completely unprepared for the sudden appearance of the Three-headed Ghost King, the old ghost cried out, trying to struggle out of their grasp.
Unbeknownst to him, these Ghost Kings were honed through battles among thousands of ghosts, not comparable to ordinary wild ghosts.
Just like the difference between a regular army and common bandits, their weapons and combat techniques were vastly superior. Despite being a tough opponent, the old ghost couldn't escape their ghostly claws.
Having been released briefly, these ghosts weren't eager to kill the old ghost outright. Like cats playing with a mouse, they let out strange cackles, surrounding the old ghost and launching a terrifying assault.
Meanwhile, under Zheng Yi's control, the surging black Demon Flame spread upwards along the giant foot, completely enveloping the massive body of the grandson ghost.
"Pain, pain, pain!"
The colossal Ghost King cried out in agony, unable to escape the confines of Zheng Yi's magical power. Chain after chain of pitch-black energy emitted from the Ghost Nurturing Gourd, binding its enormous body tightly.
Ultimately, the Ghost King couldn't withstand the pressure and was refined into the Demon Flame by Zheng Yi. The refining of a Ghost King caused the flame's color to gradually acquire a hint of deep purple.
With only the old ghost left, he was quickly captured under the assault of the three Ghost Kings and brought before Zheng Yi, then also refined by the Black Evil Technique, becoming part of the Demon Flame.
As for this ghost nest, all the Evil Ghosts were set ablaze by the Demon Flame and were utterly annihilated.
As the level of the Demon Flame continually increased, its amplification effect on ordinary ghosts diminished, necessitating exceedingly powerful Ghost King-level ghosts to significantly enhance the Demon Flame.
But even the slightest gain is valuable, not a single Fierce Ghost would be spared.
In no time, Zheng Yi transformed into a Ghost King hunter, traversing the perilous ghost nests. Many ghost nests threatening Luo City burned fiercely in the surging Demon Flame, turning into nourishment for his Demon Fire through Zheng Yi's refinement.
The ghostly aura surrounding Luo City also weakened significantly.
After about a month, Zheng Yi finally transformed the Demon Flame completely into violet, becoming a true Purple Demon Flame, its power consequently skyrocketed.
After all, this was born from refining over ten thousand Fierce Ghosts and Resentful Spirits, among which were even Ghost King-level Evil Ghosts, giving birth to the Nether Purple Flame.
It could be deemed the most vicious fire among ghosts, specifically burning Divine Souls, its power astonishing.
Simultaneously, the Hundred Ghosts Banner inside the Ghost Nurturing Gourd, after devouring a large amount of ghostly entities, upgraded to the Thousand Soul Banner.
Originally, only three Ghost Kings existed within the Ghost Realm; after a month of fierce battle, two more Ghost Kings evolved, making five in total.
The Thousand Soul Banner was an enhanced version of the Hundred Souls Banner, and with the augmentation of the Ghost Nurturing Gourd, utilized directly by Zheng Yi, it could already pose some trouble to Purple Mansion Cultivators.
With more Evil Ghosts being absorbed into the Ghost Nurturing Gourd by Zheng Yi, and more White Bone Banners being refined, ultimately forming a Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Evil Ghost Soul-devouring Array, even Purple Mansion Cultivators might meet their demise within.
It's no exaggeration to say that Zheng Yi's Thousand Ghost Banner, in the history of the Soul Catching Sect, ranks among the top three.
Ordinary cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, when facing the torrent of ghostly beings within the Thousand Ghost Banner, could find themselves entangled by a hundred ghosts in an instant and gnawed to a heap of bones.
