Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 280 Yae Sakura

After Huo Yuhao completely transformed into Bu Liren, the followers of the Holy Spirit Cult also successfully completed their conversion.

A pack of werewolves appeared in the dimly lit dungeon. Their bodies were covered in gray fur and mysterious dark blue patterns, and each one exuded a chilling aura.

These terrifying werewolves all howled to the sky, their voices echoing through the underground city as if trying to break through the enclosed space.

"The king of medicine is kind and compassionate, and the building trees are growing, and the farmers are united in their minds, and together they reach the ultimate bliss."

"The king of medicine is kind and compassionate, and the building trees are growing, and the farmers are united in their minds, and together they reach the ultimate bliss."

"The king of medicine is kind and compassionate, and the building trees are growing, and the farmers are united in their minds, and together they reach the ultimate bliss."

In an instant, the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters erupted in frenzied cheers, a sound that resounded like a surging tide throughout the entire underground city.

Zhongli Wu and the others were also immersed in this crazy joy. They transformed into followers of the Holy Spirit Cult of the Werewolves. Although they did not show the terrifying immortality and super strength of Huo Yuhao, the regeneration of severed limbs was no longer a difficult thing for them.

Moreover, each werewolf possesses a unique aura, which greatly diminishes the strength of weaker evil spirit masters.

Their sharp claws, strong physiques, and unparalleled regenerative abilities made them seem like an immortal legion.

It's not hard to imagine how terrifying such a legion would be on the battlefield.

"Hahaha, good good!"

Zhongli Wu burst into laughter, his heart filled with joy.

With such a legion of warriors, the Holy Spirit Cult no longer needs to fear anything, even if it parted ways with the Sun and Moon Empire. They now have enough confidence to walk upright in the sunlight.

Moreover, this is just the beginning. As long as Hu Lei is still around, the Blessing of Abundance will continue to be provided, and as time goes by, the size of the Bu Liren Legion will inevitably continue to expand.

Moreover, these high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult also have the opportunity to be converted into Buli people.

Huo Yuhao's transformation shows that after becoming Bu Liren, the power of his martial soul will be fused, and his strength will be significantly enhanced.

Moreover, as long as they are not completely destroyed, they can have an almost endless lifespan. This treatment, which is almost comparable to that of a god, makes them feel that the profession of Soul Master is simply not worth mentioning, and they even disdain to do it.

However, compared to these fanatical Holy Spirit Cult members, Long Xiaoyao frowned, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes from time to time, before he sighed helplessly.

While Ye Xishui was happy, a hint of hesitation flashed through her mind, and she also doubted whether her initial decision was correct.

Although the Holy Spirit Cult was previously known as evil spirit masters who were hated by everyone, they were still human beings, unlike spirit beasts who had a clear boundary with humans.

But now that the Holy Spirit Church has chosen to transform and no longer exists in human form, it is really hard to predict where it will go in the future.

But at this point, it's too late to back out.

Hu Lei possessed terrifying strength and an extremely cruel personality, making him a typical dictator.

Moreover, he has already gained the approval of most people in the Holy Spirit Cult, making it virtually impossible to stop him.

Even Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao didn't have that ability. They knew they were no match for Hu Lei, which was a deep sense of helplessness.

However, given the current situation in Douluo Continent, even if the Holy Spirit Cult does not accept Hu Lei, it will be eliminated sooner or later.

How could the Holy Spirit Church, as the state religion, not be aware of the various changes that have taken place in the Sun and Moon Empire?

The terrifying power hidden in the shadows was enough to instill fear even in a cunning evil spirit master like Zhongli Wu.

Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao tacitly agreed to submit the Holy Spirit Cult to Hu Lei precisely because they perceived this even more terrifying threat.

After all, faced with that unknown and powerful threat, choosing Hu Lei seemed to be the inevitable outcome.

"The Great Lord of Annihilation, hmph!"

Hu Lei looked at the jubilant crowd of new students before him, a sinister smile spreading across his face.

But then, when he thought of the mysterious power hidden within the Sun Moon Empire, a deep sense of apprehension and solemnity flashed in his eyes.

The Buli people and the Antimatter Legion were never on the same path, and the Antimatter Legion would even launch devastating attacks against the Buli people.

Take Xingxiao for example; she once took the initiative to ask the Immortal Ship Alliance to cooperate with her in destroying the Wingers' planet.

It can be said that neither side is a benevolent person, and they are not on the same path.

Hu Lei discovered traces of destruction in the Sun and Moon Empire. Although he was unsure whether the summoned Servant was the Lord of Annihilation, anyone capable of creating Void Soldiers must be at least a Cataclysmic Vanguard level being.

If it really is the Great Lord of Annihilation descending, Hu Lei believes that this planet and even the entire star system will face annihilation.

However, whoever is summoned to this world is merely a memory entity and cannot possess the full power of the original body.

At most, he would be equivalent to a cosmic deity, just like himself, who is no longer at his peak.

Even so, the Annihilation Lord is still a cosmic-level catastrophe, and destroying a planet would not be difficult for him.

Moreover, the Sun and Moon Empire has clearly reached a cooperation agreement with the entity suspected to be the Great Lord of Annihilation, so the materials needed for destruction will be continuously supplied.

Within the antimatter furnace, countless terrifying phantom soldiers may emerge, and even terrifying weapons like the Doomsday Beast, designed to target celestial bodies, may appear.

In terms of troop production, the antimatter legion is extremely professional, second only to the Zerg swarm.

After all, as one of the three great natural disasters in the universe, the name of the Antimatter Legion is not just for show.

Besides the suspected existence of the Great Lord of Annihilation, the terrifying woman Jing Liu also instilled fear in Hu Lei.

Whenever Hu Lei recalled the information he had gathered about Mirror Stream from various intelligence reports, a deep sense of fear would flash in his eyes.

Even when facing a being that resembled the Great Lord of Annihilation, he had never been so afraid.

While Jingliu's strength was certainly not comparable to that of the Great Lord of Annihilation, compared to the Great Lord of Annihilation whom he had never met before, Jingliu undoubtedly left an indelible psychological shadow on him.

During his centuries of imprisonment, he tried every possible way to find a way to counter the Mirror Stream, but to no avail.

Therefore, he would have a strong stress response as soon as he heard the name Jingliu, which is also an important reason why he was eager to create the Buliren Legion to enhance his own strength.

Not to mention the wise messenger.

The tiny Douluo Star has gathered a group of big names who are famous throughout their universe.

The Wisdom Envoy, the Sword Master of Luofu, the Battle Master of Buli, and the Great Lord of Annihilation—each of them is a powerful figure who shakes the universe, yet they have all gathered on this small planet.

Even Hu Lei couldn't help but feel a little sorry for this planet.

The only saving grace is that none of them are actually the original beings who descended to earth; otherwise, this world would truly be doomed, and there would be no fun left to play.

In a dark corner, a fox-eared girl with long cherry-blossom hair leaned quietly against the wall, silently watching the chaotic scene of demons dancing before her, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

Her master is now just a puppet who has lost his self-awareness, which is why she has no choice but to stay in the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, which is like a den of demons.

The actions of those evil spirit masters were utterly repulsive to her, and she even felt an urge to draw her sword and kill them all several times. But when she thought of her master who was being controlled, she suppressed her anger and chose to endure it.

Fortunately, perhaps because she made no attempt to hide her disgust for the evil spirit masters, and because those evil spirit masters needed her power, they usually behaved very restrained in front of her.

Otherwise, she really didn't know if she could have resisted taking action.

"Big sister, these people are so scary!"

A chibi-style little girl with pink hair and fox ears suddenly appeared, perched on Yae Sakura's shoulder, and looked at Hu Lei with obvious fear in her eyes.

Upon hearing the title "Big Sister," Yae Sakura's expression stiffened slightly. She really disliked this title, but Himeko always seemed to persist despite her attempts to correct it, which left her feeling rather helpless.

"Big sister, why don't we take Xiaoya and run away? I have a feeling that big guy wants to eat me!"

Himeko kept nagging in Yae Sakura's ear, which made Yae Sakura's eyebrows twitch involuntarily.

She also longed to escape this terrifying place with Tang Ya, but besides Hu Lei, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were also formidable opponents, and both were capable of stopping her.

Moreover, Tang Ya had taken the Holy Spirit Cult's secret medicine, and her body was covered in toxins. If she left the Holy Spirit Cult, she would undoubtedly be courting death.

Moreover, Tang Ya, who was being controlled, would never go with her.

Yae Sakura knew in her heart that her strength was probably not particularly outstanding among the many Servants, at least Hu Lei was much stronger than her.

At best, she could only fight to a draw with Long Xiaoyao or Ye Xishui; she had no power to force the Holy Spirit Sect to let Tang Ya go.

"Not now, we can't take her away."

Yae Sakura shook her head helplessly, took one last deep look at the pack of werewolves, and her figure gradually blended into the darkness and disappeared.

"All right!"

Himeko's head drooped, and her fox ears drooped limply, clearly indicating that she was very unhappy.

She had long disliked the dark and oppressive headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult and yearned to go out and see the beautiful scenery of another world, but now it seemed that the time was not yet ripe, and she could only continue to endure.

Hu Lei glanced casually at the dark corner, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

In his view, Yae Sakura was nothing more than a naive woman; although her strength was decent, that was all.

Moreover, her fox ears reminded Hu Lei of the weak fox people enslaved by the Bu Li people.

If it weren't for the fact that Yae Sakura's Master was just a puppet, and might need to use her power at times, he would have devoured her without hesitation long ago.

After all, as Servants, they are both formed from negative energy, and his power will definitely be enhanced after absorbing the other.

In Haiyuan City, Lu Jingming had just seen off Meng Hongchen, who was filled with reluctance.

Jing Hongchen, who came to pick him up in person, also took this opportunity to reveal a lot of important information to Lu Jingming.

Recently, with the strong support of a mysterious and unknown force, Mingdetang has achieved a major breakthrough - successfully developing a humanoid mecha, and a giant mecha at that.

Now, with the full support of the Sun and Moon Empire, these giant mechs have begun mass production and are working to build a sizable mech legion.

It is worth noting that the energy driving these giant mechs does not come from the soul tools developed by Mingde Hall itself, but from the energy furnace provided by that unknown force.

According to Jing Hongchen's detailed description, these energy furnaces possess extremely unique characteristics and are filled with terrifying destructive power.

Although it can serve as a powerful energy source to power mechs, it is extremely polluting and can be described as terrifying.

If a mech pilot comes into prolonged contact with it, a terrible mutation is very likely to occur, with unimaginable consequences.

During this period, Mingde Hall recruited a large number of soul tool researchers and, with this furnace full of destructive power as the core, devoted all its efforts to researching and developing many soul tools with great power.

Jing Hongchen even witnessed a tragedy: a Soul Master, obsessed with the immense power contained in the Destruction Furnace, failed to take adequate precautions during his research.

As a result, he was mercilessly corrupted by that terrifying destructive power, and his entire being instantly transformed into a pure killing machine.

This corrupted and transformed Soul Master completely obeyed the commands from an unknown entity, becoming a tool of destruction, losing its self-awareness, and turning into a perfect weapon of war.

He was merely a level seven Soul Master, but after being transformed, he displayed terrifying combat power, forcing the level nine Soul Master in charge to intervene in order to barely suppress him.

Surprisingly, the tragic Soul Master was not eliminated on the spot by Mingde Hall, but was quickly retrieved by people sent by the Sun Moon Empire's royal family.

Clearly, the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire must possess some special means to effectively control these emotionless and mindless weapons of war.

The news brought by Jing Hongchen was not accidental; Kong Deming had specifically asked him to convey it to Lu Jingming.

Kong Deming's purpose was very clear: to force Jing Hongchen to clarify her stance and choose sides.

After all, Jing Hongchen, that cunning old fox, has never made a clear statement and has always been observing and hesitating among the various forces.

But now that Kong Deming has personally intervened, Jing Hongchen, as his disciple, knows he has no choice but to make a decision.

Ultimately, Jing Hongchen chose to present all this information to Lu Jingming without reservation, a move that undoubtedly showed that he had made a decision and choice.

Compared to his mentor and Lu Jingming, whom he had always thought highly of, Xu Tianran, who had recently become increasingly insane, truly terrified Jing Hongchen.

Although Jing Hongchen could barely tolerate the cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult before, the actions of Xu Tianran's backers have made him keenly aware of a huge threat. This threat is like a giant beast hidden in the darkness, which may devour everything at any time.

As the head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen's Hongchen family, with its profound foundation and extensive network of connections, naturally possesses its own independent intelligence sources.

As far as he knew, Mingdu appeared to be in good condition on the surface, but upon closer inspection, one could sense an unusual atmosphere spreading quietly, as if an invisible pressure was enveloping the city.

But outside of Mingdu, the other cities of the Sun and Moon Empire were not so peaceful.

The phenomenon of large numbers of people disappearing without a trace, as if they had vanished into thin air, is chilling.

The situation in the Jingyang Mountains is even more dire. This mountain range is the second largest gathering place for soul beasts in the Sun Moon Empire after the Demon Forest. However, recently, the number of soul beasts in the mountain range has decreased sharply.

It should be noted that in the past, Soul Masters would always have some success when they went to the Jingyang Mountains to hunt for Soul Rings, but recently, even finding a thousand-year-old Soul Beast has become extremely difficult, almost to the point of being impossible to find.

Such shocking news is known to only a few people, and Jing Hongchen is one of them.

Because the Sun Moon Empire has strictly blocked this information, most people are completely unaware that, in a sense, the soul beasts in the Jingyang Mountains are almost extinct.

As for where those extinct soul beasts went?
Thinking back to the Soul Master who was corrupted by the negative particles in the Destruction Furnace and transformed into a weapon of war, Jing Hongchen had a startling guess.

Whether it's the large number of people who have disappeared from the Sun Moon Empire during this period, or the soul beasts that have mysteriously vanished in the Jingyang Mountains, they are probably all related to the mysterious force behind Xu Tianran.

Under such circumstances, how could Jing Hongchen remain calm?

In fact, by the time he learned of this news, the disappearances and the unusual events in the Jingyang Mountains had already been going on for a long time. Clearly, Xu Tianran had been keeping it a secret from these ancient families of the Sun Moon Empire and was secretly carrying out some shady dealings.
