The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

After leaving the far north, Huo Zhanji had already decided where he was going next: to take a trip to the Holy Spirit Cult. As for whether he could leave a few survivors, that would depend on whether they knew what was good for them.

The Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters is in the Demon Forest. In fact, as soon as Huo Zhanji stepped into the Demon Forest, he intentionally or unintentionally released his aura, and the Holy Spirit Cult probably already has a reaction by now.

After all, Ye Xishui, the Death God Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult, had met Huo Zhanji not long ago, so she would have some sense of Huo Zhanji's arrival. Moreover, Long Xiaoyao, the Dark Holy Dragon, also felt an extremely powerful pressure coming towards him. You should know that the two of them were already Limit Douluos, and the only ones stronger than them were level 100 or gods.

On the other side, Huo Zhanji, relying on his powerful mental strength, quickly located the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

With the reminder from their leader Ye Xishui, the members of the Holy Spirit Cult have sensed Huo Zhanji's location. Therefore, everyone is now on high alert and ready for battle. In addition to being ready for battle, there are also rings of light shields around the Holy Spirit Cult's underground buildings, protecting all the buildings inside.

"Oh? A soul-guided protective shield? You think you can stop me with this?"

Huo Zhanji was slightly taken aback by this, and then gently tapped the Soul Guidance Linkage Protective Shield below with the Eternal Divine Spear in his hand. The protective shield, which was known as the strongest shield, instantly collapsed.

Just after Huo Zhanji easily broke through the Soul Guidance Linkage Protective Shield with the Eternal Divine Spear, several figures appeared one after another. The people who came were all people that Huo Zhanji knew.

"It's been a long time, Senior Nangong," Huo Zhanji greeted.

"Hmm?" Nangong Wan looked at Huo Zhanji with some confusion and asked, "You know me?"

"We just fought not long ago. If you don't recognize the name Huo Zhanji, then how about the name Yunshan?" Huo Zhanji said, changing his tone.

"You are Yunshan!" Nangong Wan was somewhat bewildered.

"It is indeed me. I am here to give you an opportunity. Let's see if Senior Ye and Senior Long can seize it," Huo Zhanji said calmly.

Ye Xishui calmly asked, "So today, you intend to wipe out our entire Holy Spirit Cult?"

Huo Zhanji said in a kind voice, without a trace of murderous intent in his words: "The existence of the Holy Spirit Cult is of no concern to me. Even though I possess some abilities similar to yours."

After speaking, Huo Zhanji released his third martial soul, the Necromancer Saint God. At this moment, an evil aura no less powerful than that emanating from Ye Xishui continuously emanated from Huo Zhanji.

"I remember you called me the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult, but that's not true. This is actually my third martial soul, the Necromancer Saint, a martial soul bestowed by God," Huo Zhanji said calmly.

"You actually possess the Three Lives Martial Soul? Mu En has indeed taken in a fine disciple." Dark Holy Dragon Long Xiaoyao exclaimed in admiration as he looked at Huo Zhanji.

"Senior Ye, Senior Long, as we both know, the situation during the Spirit Hall era ten thousand years ago was far more complex than it is now. Yet, before the Three Gods War, there were no evil spirit masters running rampant. Do you know why?" Huo Zhanji said.

"Naturally, it's because the Spirit Hall is incredibly powerful, possessing the strength to suppress numerous forces," Ye Xishui said.

"You're only half right. The other half is because there was a Slaughter City ten thousand years ago that imprisoned evil soul masters. However, the Slaughter City collapsed under the destruction of our Sea God Tang San, and the Spirit Hall was also wiped out. Some evil soul masters who escaped found an opportunity to develop rapidly." Huo Zhanji continued Ye Xishui's words.

"How do you know so much?" Ye Xishui frowned as she spoke.

"I am the inheritor of the gods. Inadvertently, I returned to the slaughter city ten thousand years ago. When I came back, I saw your past through the river of time. At the same time, I also changed something in the past, so that you still have a chance to make amends." Huo Zhanji said as he entered the self-martial soul fusion technique in infinite form.

"You... really have a way to turn back?" Ye Xishui asked tentatively.

"Of course there's a way," Huo Zhanji nodded and said.

A Soul Master whose Martial Soul has turned into an Evil Martial Soul must constantly do bad things to ensure their survival. Once a Soul Master becomes an Evil Soul Master, they must keep killing people, otherwise they will die and it will be very difficult to turn back. However, this is not entirely without a solution.

Not only Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao heard Huo Zhanji's words clearly, but the Holy Spirit Cult members below also heard them clearly, and a large part of the Holy Spirit Cult seemed to see hope.

"I'm going to begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Zhanji's pupils turned gray, and his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change. A huge array instantly rose beneath his feet—the purification array that Electrolux had taught him.

The moment the gray spiritual energy released by the purification array landed on the Holy Spirit Cult Soul Masters, their bodies trembled violently, and a series of buzzing sounds, like mournful screams, rang out. If someone with a weak will heard this sound, their emotions would probably be severely affected.

Huo Zhanji's voice echoed through the Demon Forest: "You mere evil thoughts, get out of my way!"

The color of their eyes changed again, gradually turning from gray to red. This time, the evil spirit masters fell silent instantly. Under the effect of the purification array, wisps of black energy evaporated and disappeared. Most of the evil spirit masters' martial souls began to become purer and purer, while some evil spirit masters, burdened by their sins, were reduced to ashes. The entire purification process was very short. Soon, the last wisp of black energy on the evil spirit masters quietly disappeared.

"Senior Ye, after I shattered one of your martial souls, I fused your second martial soul with your first. At the same time, I also added the characteristics of my third martial soul to your martial soul. All the power of the soul rings you obtained has been integrated into your new martial soul. Now you have the cultivation of a Limit Douluo, but you don't have the corresponding soul skills. I named your new martial soul 'Death Judge'." Huo Zhanji said with a smile.

"Um?"

Ye Xishui was very confused after not being able to hear what Huo Zhanji said. She then released her own martial soul and was stunned when she saw the humanoid martial soul with wings growing from its back, which was holding a death scythe. Her own soul ring was really gone!

"These are Soul Beads. As the name suggests, after refining and absorbing them, you will obtain a Soul Ring. As for how many tens of thousands of years of Soul Rings you can obtain, that depends on your abilities." Huo Zhanji said, taking out nine beads of different colors and placing them in Ye Xishui's hand.

"Aren't you afraid we'll go back on our word?" Ye Xishui asked suspiciously.

"We're all seasoned foxes, so let's not test each other. My promise to you is that I'll lead you all to godhood," Huo Zhanji said with a smile.

[Host has been detected to have subjugated the Holy Spirit Cult. Host is being rewarded with Order Authority. Do you wish to merge with them?]

"Order and authority? It doesn't seem like it should exist in Douluo Continent, does it?" Huo Zhanji said.

[Will the host fuse with the host?]

"Merge." Huo Zhanji chose to merge after not getting an answer.

[Fusion successful. Congratulations, host, for gaining the power of order and wielding the authority over it.]

Huo Zhanji looked at his cultivation level and realized that it hadn't increased at all. He immediately felt discouraged. Did he really have to go find Gu Yuena?

The system silently watched Huo Zhanji and murmured to itself, "Master Taichu, when will you be back?"

"Good lad, from now on the Holy Spirit Cult will all follow your lead," Ye Xishui said.

"Alright, everyone else, pack up and head to my faction, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. Someone will make arrangements for you." Huo Zhanji raised his hand, and dozens of spatial gates opened.

Before long, Nangong Wan and the other elders led the disciples of the Holy Spirit Sect into the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. At this moment, only Huo Zhanji, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao remained on the scene.
