Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Only someone who possessed a fragment of his soul could refine the ring.

Upon seeing the contents within the ring, this person would undoubtedly be curious and study it, especially the cultivation technique in the jade slip, which even an ordinary person could read.

The Black Prison Sovereign had deliberately self-detonated his corpse pill before his death, sensing that this was a world devoid of spiritual Chi.

His corpse pill's poisonous gas would spread throughout this world along with the infusion of spiritual Chi, turning countless living beings into walking corpses.

In such a naturally advantageous environment, anyone who obtained the Demon Evil Art would inevitably cultivate it.

As long as they cultivated and absorbed soul power, the Black Prison Sovereign could use this to resurrect, completely kill the host, and take over their body for rebirth.

But he never expected that the Crimson Dragon Real Man would see through everything the moment he saw Elijah.

The Crimson Dragon Real Man had originally planned to take Elijah as a disciple, but in the end, Charlotte became his disciple instead.

Because of this, the Crimson Dragon Real Man could only place a safeguard on Elijah, waiting for the Black Prison Sovereign to make a move, then completely destroy him and use the Demon Evil Art to utterly annihilate the Black Prison Sovereign!

"I won't accept this..."

Elijah faintly heard the Black Prison Sovereign's wailing from within his soul, but it eventually faded into silence.

Elijah circulated his cultivation technique for several more cycles, fully digesting the soul fragments of the Black Prison Sovereign before he stopped.

At this moment, he had broken through the sixth layer of Chi Refinement and reached the seventh layer, officially entering the late stage of Chi Refinement!

In the world of cultivation, ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Elijah rode a beam of light, returning from overseas to Azure Isle.

This journey had been incredibly fruitful for him. He had nearly exterminated all large gatherings of zombies worldwide, collecting an immense amount of corpse Chi and corpse cores.

"Now, it's about time for seclusion," Elijah thought as he opened the formation that protected Azure Isle and landed on the island.

During the past ten years, the first five were devoted to cultivation. With the corpse cores collected on Azure Isle, Elijah successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

After reaching Foundation Establishment, Elijah could further enhance the power of the talismans in his possession and delve deeper into the cultivation techniques within the jade slips.

He began traveling across the country, using his flying light technique to clear zombies on a massive scale.

He first used a special pill, highly attractive to zombies, to lure nearby zombies to one location.

Then, using a treasure bottle talisman left behind by the Black Prison Sovereign, he captured and refined all the zombies into pure corpse Chi, while also extracting the corpse cores from their bodies.

This process allowed Elijah to complete the task in just a few hours, much more efficiently than the survivors who had to kill the zombies one by one and then collect the corpse cores.

However, there was a drawback: after each collection, Elijah had to refine the talisman again to convert the collected corpses into corpse Chi.

As a result, Elijah's overall speed wasn't as fast as it could have been, and it took him more than a year to completely eliminate the zombies within the country.

Alongside Elijah's actions, the influence of Azure Isle expanded.

In the first two years, Azure Isle established control over Neoville City and began expanding into neighboring regions, gradually gaining control over two surrounding areas and eventually bordering the territory controlled by the military.

Initially, the cooperation between Azure Isle and the military was excellent, but as Azure Isle's influence grew, tensions began to arise.

By then, the military had deciphered the cause of communication disruptions and developed a better solution.

Tempted by the awakening potions controlled by Azure Isle, the military brazenly decided to launch a surprise attack on Azure Isle.

However, the military was unaware that a few of its members were already under Elijah's control through his Seed of Consciousness.

When Elijah learned of the operation, he immediately used his flying light technique to descend upon the military's headquarters, massacring all high-ranking officials who were hostile to Azure Isle.

Subsequently, Elijah appointed Nicholas as the new military leader, and the forces led by Fiona in Neoville City were reorganized and merged, forming a powerful entity that controlled several southern states.

After Elijah began his zombie-clearing campaign, he first cleansed the areas under their control, then gradually expanded according to Fiona's plan.

Fiona also began extending her influence into these regions, suppressing disobedient forces and negotiating with those willing to cooperate.

After more than a year, the entire country was reunified, and all zombies within its borders were eradicated.

Though the country was vast, the remaining survivors were few, leading to a surplus of resources.

With no external threats, people lived in peace, and in their spare time, they focused on having children, leading to a sudden population boom.

The government, newly reorganized by Fiona, strongly encouraged this phenomenon.

Awakened individuals found it difficult to have children, but the majority of survivors were ordinary people. However, this led to another problem: the zombie virus in the air remained a constant threat hanging over the heads of ordinary people.

When Fiona mentioned this issue to Elijah, he quickly devised a solution.

By this time, his understanding of the Demon Evil Art had deepened, and he had discovered a cultivation technique called the Heavenly Corpse Record within another jade slip. This technique was designed specifically for cultivating zombies.

Abigail, Kylie, and Elena were born as spiritual corpses, making them ideal candidates for this cultivation method.

By practicing this technique, they could absorb the surrounding Yin and corpse Chi, thoroughly purifying the human living environment and restoring the pre-apocalyptic environment.

If Elijah had corpse pills on hand, he could achieve the task more efficiently.

However, since he's preoccupied with harvesting zombies and collecting corpse cores, he delegates the task to Abigail, Kylie, and Elena.

While they cultivate the Heavenly Corpse Record, they also absorb the corpse poison in the air.

Yet, given the vast expanse of the territory, relying on just the three of them would take an indeterminate amount of time to finish the job.
