Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 720 Howling Mountain, Accumulated Yin Cave, Ancient Bones Uncollected

Inside the Demon Forest, on Howling Mountain, in the Yin Cave, in the secret chamber of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.

"My son, the time has come. Burn incense."

On the altar, a woman dressed in black robes knelt before a prayer mat, her eyes devoid of joy or sorrow. Behind her knelt two other people, a man and a woman, also dressed in black robes.

If Chen Ping were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize who the two people kneeling on the left and right behind the woman in black robes were. They were none other than Zhongli Wu, the imperial tutor of the Sun Moon Empire, and Feng Ling, who had watched the entire Mingdu Elite Soul Master Competition!

These two men, one the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult and the other the deputy leader, were kneeling here so devoutly, even ranking after the woman in front of them. Considering the way the man addressed Zhongli Wu, their identities were practically obvious.

Ye Xishui, the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Supreme Elder of the Sun Moon Empire, a Level 99 Power Attack Type Limit Douluo, and the Death God Douluo!
"Yes."

Zhongli Wu sang "Yes," nodded respectfully, then took out three incense sticks, lit them, and respectfully placed them in front of the offering table where the three were kneeling. He then took out three fragrant leaf crowns made of flowers and herbs that grew in the Demon Forest and placed them on the heads of the three.

At this moment, in front of the three people's shrines, a stone tablet was respectfully placed on the table, with the words "Holy Emperor God of Slaughter Hypnos" engraved on it.

“Feng Ling, although you and my son have not had a child together to this day, you are still my Zhongli family’s daughter-in-law. And although you were tricked by Shrek’s people this time, you did a good job in unifying the black market channels in Mingdu.”

"Taking advantage of the internal strife in Mingdu this time, some of our elders couldn't contain themselves and, under the pretext of pursuing and eliminating the remnants of the Three Kingdoms, committed a great massacre. Not only did they kill many spectators from the Three Kingdoms who came to watch the game, but they also accidentally injured many merchants and civilians from Mingdu."

“We naturally need to give Xu Tianran an explanation for this matter. We should kill the elder who led the group and those Soul Douluo-level beings together, so that Xu Tianran can have an explanation in the court and avoid making things difficult for him in front of his dead father.”

Ye Xishui slowly said, "Although they had the official excuse of apprehending thieves and claimed that the fixed shells they had planted on the road accidentally exploded, killing tens of thousands of civilians, the way they were collecting the souls of the dead in the sky could not be hidden."

"The people in Mingdu City are in a state of panic, which is certainly not a good thing, but it is enough for us to kowtow to the Holy Emperor once again and ask him to bestow his grace."

"This time, I would like the Holy Emperor to reward you and upgrade your first three soul rings from purple to higher levels. If you could also upgrade your seventh and eighth soul rings to 100,000 years, that would be even better."

After Ye Xishui finished speaking, Feng Ling hurriedly kowtowed to Ye Xishui and said, "Feng Ling thanks the Supreme Elder for his grace, but how can someone as unfortunate as Feng Ling accept such a generous reward from the Holy Emperor?"

"It is extremely difficult to ask the Holy Emperor for a reward every time. The Holy Emperor holds the position of killing and war, and he enjoys seeing fighting and military might. But over the years, we have only managed to ask the Holy Emperor to bestow a reward a few times."

"This opportunity is truly hard-won, so it would be better for my husband to come. As for my daughter-in-law, she will have another chance to receive the Holy Emperor's reward when the Sun Moon Empire goes to war with the three great empires."

Upon hearing Feng Ling's words, Ye Xishui's eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction before she said, "Since the backlash of my martial soul, I have not made a single move. Even the Holy Emperor's favor is useless to me. If I want to make a move again, I will need to rest for at least a few more years."

"As for your husband, he is still only a level 98 Super Douluo. Without the support of dual soul cores, not to mention the difficulty of improving his soul ring configuration, the consumption of soul power by nine 100,000-year soul skills is definitely not something he can afford, as he has not yet stepped into the peerless realm."

"So, whatever the Holy Emperor bestows upon you this time, just accept it without worry."

Upon hearing Ye Xishui's words, Feng Ling's eyes also revealed a hint of excitement, and she kowtowed again without saying a word. "Alright, Wu'er, the time has come, invite the gods."

Ye Xishui said no more, put her hands together, and respectfully looked at the memorial tablet of 'Holy Emperor Killing God Xiupuros' in front of her.

Zhongli Wu raised his hand, and a thick red mist suddenly emanated from his body. The immense aura made even the level 97 Feng Ling feel uncomfortable.

The aura emanating from Zhongli Wu was not murderous, but rather an extremely evil one, chilling one to the bone.

The evil, cold red ripples slowly spread out, and in the blink of an eye, they had already engulfed the entire secret chamber. They then rushed out of the secret chamber with unstoppable force, devouring the Howling Mountain, the Yin Cave, and the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters in the entire Demon Forest.

Outside the secret chamber, there was no one else, only the rare metals and fixed shells that the Holy Spirit Church had accumulated over countless years, as well as hundreds of thousands of wronged souls, living souls, and wandering spirits!

Howling Mountain, Yin Cave, where countless bones have remained uncollected since ancient times!
The big ghost staggers, the little ghost cries, the sky is overcast and rainy, the sounds are mournful!
Just as Ye Xishui said, those elders and evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult couldn't help but kill. The tens of thousands of people who were blown up were just an extra in the process of summoning the Holy Emperor.

If the Holy Spirit Cult doesn't commit hundreds of thousands of massacres at once, how can they attract the attention of a god and obtain the six black and three red soul ring configuration that only those who pass the divine examination possess!

As the terrifying blood-red light completely enveloped the entire secret chamber, these souls gradually went mad, recalling the scenes of being killed by the Holy Spirit Cult members in their previous lives.

In an instant, ghosts howled and wolves howled, and a cold wind blew. Overwhelming resentment, killing intent, fear, and anger were all aroused, and their souls and eyes gradually became dull, and then turned into bloodshot red.

Before long, after the red light formed throughout the entire Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, painful screams began to emanate from those who were the first to come into contact with the red light.

Affected by the red light, those remnant souls seemed to have gone mad, desperately grasping at their own souls and frantically chanting a single word—kill!

"Kill kill kill kill!!!"

Even in those screams, there was despair and madness. More and more remnant souls underwent this change, until it spread throughout the entire area and finally stopped when the souls collapsed.

This bizarre and bloody ritual did not end until the last soul shattered. These shattered souls fell to the ground, turning into strands of gray soul energy that converged into a column and flowed towards the secret chamber. Eventually, they flowed into the grooves at the bottom of the chamber, gradually forming a huge pattern on the ground.

It was a huge bat pattern, gray and indistinct, and even the three people, including Ye Xishui, did not know what it was.

But if Chen Ping were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to see at a glance that this is the power of faith!

However, compared to the power of faith he had previously obtained, the power of faith here was far too mixed. Of the hundred threads, probably ninety-five contained impurities of extreme emotions, and only the last little bit was the faith and desire for pure killing.
