Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 337 Natural Disaster
Lead-gray clouds, seemingly appearing from nowhere, obscured the sun, with only a few rays managing to pierce through the gaps and cast ominous halos on the ground.

Lin Xiao stood in the air, the gray mist in his hand condensing into a weapon that looked like a long staff. He raised his head slightly, and only two points of gray light, like candle flames, could be seen under his gray cloak.

The first gray light slowly shone, and the long staff touched the ground. In an instant, mounds of earth slowly rose from the ground that had been leveled by the level nine soul-guided cannon, like graves of all sizes.

"So, what is that?"

The Demon Forest was unusually quiet at this moment. The noisy soul beasts of the past had long since disappeared under the attack of the level nine soul tools. In the Royal Dragon Soul Master Corps, some soldiers looked at the undulating ground and couldn't help but swallow, their voices trembling slightly.

Amidst the strict discipline of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps, a cacophony of voices arose. Xu Tianyuan, as the corps commander, opened his mouth, but for a moment he was unable to quell the discussions within the army. Even his own gaze remained fixed on the front.

As Xu Tianran's confidant, he certainly knew what he was going to face on this trip, but despite being mentally prepared, he never imagined that an evil soul master could do such a thing.

Right before Xu Tianyuan's eyes, a hand reduced to nothing but bones suddenly burst through the soil, its five fingers twisting and reaching towards the sky.

Then came the second, the third... and countless more.

The dead, buried in the Holy Spirit Cult and beneath the Demon Forest for countless years, are now returning to the mortal world at Lin Xiao's call.

A forest of white bones seemed to have sprung up out of thin air on the ground. Lin Xiao watched as corpses continued to emerge from the ground, his soul core vibrated, and his second soul ring also lit up with a gray light.

Within the soul core, countless remnant souls collected by Lin Xiao surged out as if summoned, and then burrowed into the corpses one by one.

Gray candlelight suddenly lit up in the empty eye sockets of those corpses, and without Lin Xiao needing to speak, this army formed by the dead surged forward.

hum-

The earth began to tremble slightly, initially just as small pebbles bounced, but then it became more violent as bones rubbed against the soil.

Within the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, many Soul Masters' expressions changed, and an invisible deathly silence spread around everyone, as if even their own movements had become sluggish.

Evil Soul Master... Evil Soul Master...

Xu Tianyuan muttered a few words to himself. Although Xu Tianran had told him that there were no experts in the Holy Spirit Cult at the moment, looking at the pile of white bones in front of him, he began to have some doubts about whether the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, who could create such a spectacle, was a match for the evil soul masters.

"Everyone, attack!"

Shaking his head slightly, Xu Tianyuan calmed himself down and shouted.

Instead of using the voice transmission device, he used his soul power to transmit his voice to everyone's ears, causing everyone to unconsciously feel a jolt of energy.

"boom--"

The soul-guided cannons roared in unison, and the corpses were more fragile than anyone had expected. Countless bone fragments flew up, and the corpses were torn to pieces under the attack of the soul-guided cannons.

However, before Xu Tianyuan could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the scattered fragments slowly crawl together and reform into new skeletons.

Moreover, as countless corpses continued to pour forward, the soil continued to churn, and incomplete skeletons struggled to crawl out from beneath the ground.

Some of them had only recently died, with rotting flesh still clinging to their bodies and maggots visibly wriggling inside.

"Ugh—" Someone in the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps made a sound, which immediately caused many people around to gag. The stench emanating from the corpse spread through the air, causing chaos among the soldiers in the Soul Master Corps.

"Hold on!"

Xu Tianyuan shouted and leaped out, but before he could land, he saw the corpses on the ground leap up and crawl towards him.

The surge of soul power shattered the approaching corpses, but unsightly streaks of blood still remained on Xu Tianyuan's armor.

"what--"

At the forefront of the army, the first skeletons to appear had already braved heavy attacks to stand before the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps. The Soul Guidance Cannon's attack only paused for a moment before a soldier was tackled to the ground.

The devices on his body kept lighting up, but amidst the endless attacks of the corpses, he finally lost his breath with a series of "crunching" sounds as they were being devoured.

Above the sky, Lin Xiao's gaze was also fixed on the undead army on the ground, whose numbers had already surpassed those of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps.

"This is the true terror of necromancy."

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, Ilex's voice slowly resounded, "Retrieving the fragments of divine consciousness has also brought back many memories of the past. Back then, it was precisely with my immortal and inexhaustible army of undead that I forced the Glorious Church to unite with the two great empires to deal with the situation."

The terrifying aspects of necromancy...

Lin Xiao pondered Electrolux's words, his gaze falling on the soldier who had just been tackled. His spirit rings shone, and a gray light enveloped the entire battlefield.

The soldier who had just been tackled staggered to his feet, turned his soul-guided cannon toward his former comrades, and then a beam of light shot out.

To conserve the soul power of its soldiers, the Sun Moon Empire installed sealed charging soul tools in its soul-guided cannons. However, these soul-guided cannons have now become weapons that can be used by the dead.

Although it seemed to have forgotten how to aim, and the attack did not land on the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, it did shatter their psychological defenses.

Xu Tianyuan was still fighting against the endless corpses, shouting continuously, but some people had already begun to run backwards, ignoring military orders.

As soon as the first person left the formation, the Royal Dragon Soul Master Corps' formation quickly collapsed.

When Xu Tianyuan realized something was wrong and turned around, the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, which the Sun Moon Empire was so proud of, was already unable to fight back. Only scattered figures were swallowed up by the boundless ocean of bones.

Xu Tianyuan suddenly looked up at the figure shrouded in gray mist in the air, and a sense of fear rose in his heart for no reason.

Although Lin Xiao only had two soul rings around him, Xu Tianyuan could sense that his cultivation level was definitely above level ninety.

Perhaps it was the twin martial souls, or perhaps it was for some other reason; Xu Tianyuan no longer wanted to think about it.

Evil soul master?
No, that person can no longer be described as a Soul Master. Two words inexplicably rose in his mind: natural disaster.

When this immortal and indestructible army of the dead appeared, it was a natural disaster for the Sun Moon Empire and for the Douluo Continent—a natural disaster of the dead.
