Doomsday Beast Tide: I Use Military Force to Prove My Cultivation

World view background In the year 2077, human civilization has reached a critical point of conflict between technology and the environment. Arctic glaciers are melting at an accelerated pace, and ancient microorganisms that have been dormant for millions of years spread as the permafrost thaws; geological movements exceeding magnitude 10 occur in the deep-sea Mariana Trench, and the unknown energy source "spiritual veins" break out of the ground, sweeping the world in the form of "spiritual mist" visible to the naked eye. In just seventy-two hours, the earth's magnetic field was disrupted, satellite signals were interrupted, and the power system was paralyzed. What's even more terrifying is that the biological gene chain began to mutate crazily. Ordinary domestic cats have grown fangs, expanded to the size of a cheetah, and have sharp claws that can easily tear steel plates; the rat colonies in urban sewers have evolved "sonar positioning", and there are tens of thousands of individuals with a body length of more than half a meter; even the docile pigeons in the park have transformed into "iron-feathered beasts" with a wingspan of three meters and beaks as sharp as iron hooks. These mutated creatures are called "demon beasts" by the survivors. They retain their original bloodthirsty instincts and contain "demon cores" that can be absorbed. At the same time, some human beings have awakened "spiritual roots" in their bodies and are able to sense and absorb the spiritual energy in the air. They embark on the path of cultivation and are called "monks". The cultivation system follows the ancient system but has undergone changes due to the apocalyptic environment: introducing Qi into the body (Qi refining stage), tempering the body and bones (Foundation Building stage), condensing elixirs to transform into infants (Golden elixir stage), breaking the void and seeing the gods (Nascent Soul stage)... Every time you break through a major realm, your physical fitness and spiritual control will undergo a qualitative leap. However, the probability of spiritual roots awakening is less than one in ten thousand, and most ordinary people can only struggle to survive in the ruins where monsters are rampant.
