Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 4 The Spirit Eye's Mutation: Making the World Feel Pain

Beneath the Demon Forest lies the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, the Holy Spirit Temple.

This building covers an area of ​​over a thousand acres and is entirely constructed of solid granite. With the addition of various lighting and soul-guiding devices, it appears extremely magnificent.

Countless evil spirit masters gathered together, numbering over a thousand. Most of them had relatively weak cultivation levels, ranging from the third to the sixth ring, but there were also more than two hundred with higher cultivation levels.

Following Zhongli Wu's instructions, all the people in the Holy Spirit Temple gathered in front of a square, all looking at Huo Yuhao beside Zhongli Wu.

Many of the younger generation of evil soul masters looked at Huo Yuhao with some hostility. After all, judging from the soul power fluctuations emanating from Huo Yuhao, he was clearly just a nobody who had just become a soul master.

In any fantasy world, strength is the ultimate proof of everything, and the evil spirit masters clearly didn't care much for this so-called holy son.

In the Church of the Holy Spirit, there may be several saints, but only one saint will ever be established.

If he cannot demonstrate the special qualities expected of a Holy Spirit Cult's Son, then clearly no evil spirit master will fear him.

Facing the evil soul master exuding a strange and sinister aura, Huo Yuhao, who only had a level 10 soul power on the surface, could have been crushed on the spot by Zhongli Wu's soul power alone if Zhongli Wu hadn't blocked him with his soul power.

"Holy Son, please release your Martial Soul." Zhongli Wu looked at Huo Yuhao and smiled.

Huo Yuhao nodded, his soul power surged, and his spiritual eyes opened. The illusory gray-white soul ring reappeared, immediately causing a commotion.

"A true body martial soul? Shouldn't it belong to someone from the Body Sect?"

"This spirit ring probably isn't ten years old, is it? The color looks a bit strange."

"This holy son looks to be ten years old, how come he's only at the first ring?"

"..."

Listening to the discussions of the many evil soul masters, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. He had had enough of the humiliation of being questioned and ridiculed.

Huo Yuhao's every move naturally did not escape Zhongli Wu's eyes. He was very satisfied with Huo Yuhao's unwillingness and then raised his hand to suppress the crowd.

"quiet."

"You must be very curious about what made my chosen Holy Son ascend to this position. I can tell you that this spirit ring is a self-generated spirit ring, and the Holy Son's true spirit power level exceeds level 30. He is currently the only one in the Douluo Continent with innate level 30 full spirit power!"

Zhongli Wu's calm words instantly shocked all the evil soul masters, silencing them completely. They had only heard of the legendary Angel God with full innate level 20 soul power, never imagining that this Holy Son would surpass even that legend!

Among them were evil soul masters who were good at studying theoretical knowledge. They remembered the secret research passed down from the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago: soul masters with a level of innate talent of 30 or above will definitely become gods!

After all, some people have questioned whether the theory of the ten core competencies of the great master Yu Xiaogang from ten thousand years ago was copied and improved from the Spirit Hall by the Pope with whom he had an ambiguous relationship. Some of the confidential files were never even seen by the Pope.

Ultimately, some items were lost from the empire's temple due to the demise of the Martial Soul Empire, and were studied and discussed by later generations.

Zhongli Wu was quite satisfied with the shock of the crowd. Then, he slowly took out a soul-guiding banner from his storage soul tool, waved it slowly in front of him, and chanted incantations.

Some high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult who were familiar with Zhongli Wu knew what the cult leader was about to do. Soon, countless vengeful spirits who had been tortured and killed by the Holy Spirit Cult were released from the Soul-Guiding Banner. Among them were many super vengeful spirits with the strength of a Title Douluo.

"Yuan Jia, activate your Martial Soul. I will complete the second awakening of your Martial Soul in front of everyone."

"Oh no!" Huo Yuhao's lips twitched violently. If his Spirit Eye Martial Soul really absorbed this, he would probably turn into a demonic soul master who only knew how to kill and destroy.

Of course, if he hadn't done that, he probably would have immediately become one of the vengeful spirits in that soul-guiding banner.

With great reluctance, Huo Yuhao could only take it one step at a time. He activated his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, and the vengeful spirits seemed to sense something, surging towards Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, one after another, those ridiculously powerful vengeful spirits burrowed into Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes. Compared to the residents of the Duke's mansion whose soul power cultivation was not high, the mental impact of these vengeful spirits on Huo Yuhao was undoubtedly enormous. After only three or four vengeful spirits burrowed in, Huo Yuhao's head almost exploded with pain, and he couldn't help but let out a painful howl.

But Zhongli Wu could clearly see that Huo Yuhao's eyes were shining brightly. Although he felt a little heartache, he quickly felt relieved when he thought about the future that Huo Yuhao brought to the Holy Spirit Cult.

This is a unique method for evil soul masters to awaken spiritual martial souls. Unlike the Body Sect, which squeezes the corresponding martial soul parts of the body to their limits through body tempering, evil soul masters are often relatively weak in terms of spiritual power. Simply increasing Huo Yuhao's soul power would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, which would easily cause instability in the foundation. Zhongli Wu really intends to cultivate him as a holy son, so he would naturally not do such a foolish thing. Therefore, it is a better choice to let the vengeful spirits impact his spiritual sea and allow it to complete its evolution.

Amidst the expectant gazes of all the evil spirit masters, ripples appeared faintly in Huo Yuhao's eyes, his originally light blue pupils gradually turning blood red, and his mental pressure began to surge explosively.

Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye is a spiritual martial soul, so when his spiritual power awakened at the age of six, it directly exceeded the Spirit Origin Realm and entered the Spirit Connection Realm. After several years of cultivation, it has reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Connection Realm.

After Huo Yuhao blew up the Duke's mansion and absorbed those souls, his spiritual power soared all the way to the peak of the Spiritual Connection Realm. Now, with Zhongli Wu's tireless assistance, he has directly broken through the bottleneck of the Spiritual Connection Realm.

Early stage of Spirit Sea Realm, Middle stage of Spirit Sea Realm, Peak stage of Spirit Sea Realm, Spirit Abyss Realm!

Like an abyss or a prison, reaching the highest heavens and the deepest hells, wherever the mind goes, all things return to the heart!

Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes finally stopped devouring the vengeful spirits. Zhongli Wu's face lit up with joy. He quickly put away the Soul-Guiding Banner, grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulder, and sensed the changes in Huo Yuhao.

It should be noted that among the already mentally fragile evil spirit masters, none of the most talented young ones have reached the Spirit Abyss Realm.

After his spiritual power reached the Spirit Abyss Realm, Huo Yuhao could observe the changes in his appearance without looking in a mirror. In addition to his spiritual sea expanding dozens of times, his appearance also became much more rugged, and his captivating eyes had blood-red pupils with concentric ripples.

"Holy crap, really?" Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. He clearly felt that he could already do some things using only his eye power and mental power.

He spread his arms, unleashing his spiritual power. His powerful will allowed him to slowly rise into the air. Another gray-white soul ring appeared beneath his feet, and as he ascended, a powerful repulsive force suddenly erupted.

Alright, Shinra Tensei...

Countless members of the Holy Spirit Cult stared in horror at Huo Yuhao as he rose into the air, just as a beam of light from an illumination soul tool shone from behind him.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was like a demon god descending to earth!

"Welcome back to the throne, Holy Son!"

"The Holy Son has arrived! Long live the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Someone shouted those words, and it immediately sparked a frenzy of worship. Huo Yuhao looked at the incredibly fanatical Holy Spirit Cult members below and felt as if he had traveled back to his original world, where a group of enthusiastic fans were shouting at the top of their lungs at a concert.

Several elders of the Holy Spirit Cult approached Zhongli Wu, all extremely excited, and respectfully greeted him, saying, "The Holy Son has arrived! Congratulations, Cult Leader!"

"Hahahaha..." Zhongli Wu laughed loudly, his laughter so unrestrained. The elders exchanged glances, equally excited.

"God bless my Holy Spirit Church!"

Suspended in mid-air, Huo Yuhao could only grit his teeth and use his mental power to utter that extremely cringeworthy line.

"Now, let the world feel the pain!"

Okay, I admit I'm being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)!
