I Bit Everyone and Became the Strongest Zombie Cultivator

Chapter 28: Berserk Mode Breakthrough

Chapter 28: Berserk Mode Breakthrough

Where am I?

Once again, I found myself inside the white space where I previously stayed for five years. This was the same space where I got introduced to the System. And also, it's the same place where I cultivated, helping me eventually regain my consciousness.

Why am I here? Did I die again... No.

One thing that frightened me the most was the thought that I might end up losing my consciousness once again. If that were to happen, then it'd be the same as reverting into being a rabid human again all over again. The thought of biting around both rabid humans and humans alike goes against my ideals but there was nothing I could do. When I turned, it took me five years to regain my consciousness and control my body again. Right now, I lost supervision over my physical self, and I don't have a clue as to when I'll wake up.

"System, what's happening?!" I screamed, desperately trying to sense a presence around me.

"Yongrui! This is bad!" The System responded. "You're running rampant in the Si Shelter!"

"But I can't control my body! How can I stop it?!"

"It's probably because of your emotional instability, Yongrui. You've unlocked a few passive skills such as Rage, Killing Intent, and Ferocity. I think if you stabilize your emotions, you'd be able to regain control over your body." The System responded. "Please try it out, Yongrui. I'm going to troubleshoot on my end as well. Hopefully, this won't end in an irreversible state."

"What do you mean?"

"There's a high possibility that you might eliminate everyone in the Si Shelter if this goes on." The System told me. "You've already eliminated half of the grown-ups, Yongrui."

No! NO! This is not happening! I have to go back and control my body. Please! Please!

Even if they're trash, or even if they've already lost their will and minds to live, I would never want to take a person's life! As a Sect Master, I've only ever killed those people who were out for my blood and I would never want to go beyond that. That would just make me a murderer, and cold-blooded one at that.

Once I start taking people's lives willy-nilly, I don't think I'll ever get out of that hole. Aside from that, I'm confident that my guilt and conscience would continue screaming at me until I go crazy... that or I become a murderer.

There's no helping it. System, I trust that you could help me take over my body. I will do what I do best, so, please.

We don't have time to waste!

In that white space, probably a dimension in which my self is existent, I closed my eyes and worked on cultivating both my Qi Core and my Virus Qi Core at the same time. I was confident that it would be easy. I've got an inherent ability when it comes to cultivation after all. When it comes to this, no one could best me. I, Tang Yongrui, am the best cultivator out there. This should be easy...

Or so that's what I told myself.

But it was harder than I thought.

I guess I could compare it to driving a vehicle. Cultivating with two cores at once is like driving two vehicles at the same time. One mistake and I could tell that I would ruin both of my Cores. It's like I'm walking on a tightrope since I could feel death looming close over me, trying to devour me as soon as I slipped.

To top it all off, the difficulty of the cultivation went by a notch when I felt both coldness and hotness in my being. I felt like my body's about to get frozen and burned at the same time. Well, it's not like the feeling is new to me. When I first cultivated my fire and ice element when I previously moved up to the King Realm.

But even though I could easily endure prickly heat and the biting cold, I still had to wholly concentrate so my Virus Qi Core and Qi Core won't fall apart. It's a dangerous cultivation process. One wrong step and I might end up as a cripple.

We can't have that, can't we? I've already gotten my second chance and all. I can't fail here.

<Blood Element reached level 4>

<New skill unlocked: Coagulation>

A new skill? What's happening? Argh, I'll check it later! I can't lose focus.

"Yongrui, you have to rest! Don't push yourself too hard. Your Virus Qi Core might explode." The System panicked. "Don't do this. Just hold off in regaining consciousness. We can always do that later."

"No, we can't do that." I gritted my teeth in pain.

I felt like screaming as I felt like all my insides were burning and freezing at the same time. But I held it off. Two options were placed before me either to play it safe by cultivating slowly and at the same time slaughter, everyone in the Si Shelter, or I take a risk and try to regain my consciousness in the shortest amount of time.

"Yongrui, I take that back! Please go on. You're so close to breaking through!"

"Shut up, I'm trying to concentrate here." I snapped, but deep inside, it was nice to hear that my suffering is almost over. There's only one thing left to do... and that is to move forward.

Suddenly, my Qi Core turned into a silvery color while my Virus Qi Core turned into a blackish color with reddish smoke. I could tell that I'm getting close to achieving a breakthrough. Even though it's a hundred times harder than before, moving up a stage is something worth celebrating. No matter how small the rank-up is, it's one step nearer to achieving another Realm.

Then, I felt myself losing consciousness once again. The pain already dulled my nerves, and even though I already lost consciousness, I still felt like fainting... which was weird!

I have no idea what was happening but I fought off my drowsiness as I continued my cultivation. "If I slip into unconsciousness right here... then there's a possibility that I'll completely die."

Fight it off!

Fight it off! I spurred myself.

Ping!

<Congratulations! You've achieved a breakthrough!>
