Douluo Continent: What do you mean this is the Holy Spirit Cult?

As the dark red flames gradually dissipated, a charred corpse was revealed.

"Do you want it?"

Qi Li presented the charred corpse in his hand to Tang Dai.

The bones of this evil spirit master might still be of some benefit to the Tang Dynasty.

As for the soul.

Both of them could absorb it, but Qi Li didn't want to.

If Tang Dai were to speak up, he would give Tang Dai both the bones and the soul of this evil spirit master.

Tang Dai fell silent as he looked at the charred corpse in Qi Li's hands.

After a long while, he murmured:

"I haven't decided yet, why don't you just burn it?"

Without any hesitation, Qi Li turned the charred corpse in his hand into ashes in the dark red flames.

The two of them didn't even think about borrowing a pot to cook the Sun Moon Empire's military rations again, and silently continued on their way.

But this time, they fell silent. It was as if an invisible barrier separated them.

No one mentioned anything about their training as evil soul masters, nor did they discuss whether they devoured souls to enhance themselves.

Even when they reached a village not far from Marseille, the two no longer ate together.

The trust the two had built up over the three months leading up to the trial was worthless in the face of the more direct prisoner's dilemma.

The two had once discussed escaping from the Holy Spirit Cult, but both were afraid that the other would become addicted to the powerful abilities of the evil spirit master.

Returning to the village.

Qi Li arrived in this village alone.

This was an order from the Holy Spirit Church to turn Marseille into an isolated city with no natural defenses and no outside support.

This meant carrying out a massacre of the cities and villages surrounding Marseille.

The population of those cities and villages naturally became the reward for the followers of the Holy Spirit Church.

Instead of heading to the large villages or cities surrounding Marseille, Qi Li went to the extremely remote village of Huiyou.

What is he thinking?

Perhaps he himself couldn't give an answer.

But hearing the constant roars and wails coming from the village, Qi Li instinctively rushed into the village.

The village was covered in blood, with numerous severed limbs and even human heads carelessly discarded on the main road.

Qi Li quickly approached the direction from which the sound came, and the closer he got, the more life force he could sense coming from the area where the sound originated.

Six of them possessed incredibly strong life force and exuded a dark aura, clearly indicating they were evil spirit masters from the Holy Spirit Cult.

The other seven people looked no different from ordinary people, and some even looked much weaker than ordinary people.

But when he actually arrived at the place where these signs of life resided, he found that the situation was worse than he had imagined.

The six evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult were all wrapped in black robes, but their figures were basically the same, and they all looked to be at least in their teens.

Moreover, all of them were adorned with spirit rings, with the strongest one possessing three spirit rings and the weaker ones having two spirit rings each.

However, the aura emanating from these evil soul masters was rather frivolous. It was obvious that although their soul power level had increased rapidly, it was achieved through killing and devouring souls, which meant that they could not utilize their own strength to a perfect degree.

Even so, they still hold an absolute advantage when facing ordinary people.

Of the seven people in front of them, there were five adults and two children.

Without exception, they were all villagers from Huiyou Village, and they were probably not from the same family.

Beside the scattered corpses, several evil spirit masters were clearly dividing the tasks of whipping and torturing the remaining villagers of Huiyou Village, in order to intensify their resentment.

This method fills the souls of ordinary people with resentment, and this resentment, combined with the soul, allows the evil spirit master to devour the strongest power.

This is a method that all the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult know.

However, Qi Li never used it.

Just as these evil spirit masters were about to kill all the remaining people in the village, Qi Li couldn't help but take action.

Although reason told him that ignoring the issue or even taking a share of the profits was the best option, his conscience still wouldn't allow him to do so.

A pair of bone dragon wings wrapped in a thin membrane sprouted from Qi Li's back, his right arm had also transformed into a bone dragon claw wrapped in bone, and his eyes had been completely replaced by dark red soul fire.

Bone Dragon Martial Soul Possession!

Immediately afterward, the dark yellow spirit ring behind Qi Li suddenly lit up, and a Devouring Dragon, more than four meters long, covered in gray scales and with eyes full of savage killing intent, suddenly appeared there.

First Soul Skill: Soul Cage!

The dark red flames quickly spread along the chains in Qi Li's hands to the Devouring Dragon Soul. In just an instant, the Devouring Dragon Soul's flesh disappeared, replaced by an incredibly huge and ferocious skeleton, which was still burning with raging dark red flames.

Devouring Dragon Soul Evil Fire Enhanced Version!

The Devouring Dragon Soul itself is very powerful, not much different from some Soul Masters, and even surpasses them in terms of destructive power.

Now, with the blessing of evil fire, it has become incredibly powerful.

He charged straight at the back of the six evil soul masters. Although the six evil soul masters tried their best to hinder the advance of the Devouring Dragon Soul, they were all burned to ashes by the evil fire on the Devouring Dragon Soul. Then they were met with the merciless attack of the Devouring Dragon Soul.

In the blink of an eye, the six evil soul masters were completely dead, and even their souls had been forcibly extracted by Qi Li using his first soul skill.

However, Qi Li's complexion wasn't exactly good either.

Enveloping the entire soul of the Devouring Dragon in evil fire was too much of a drain on him. If it weren't for the fact that the first soul skill, Soul Prison, itself had a low energy consumption, he would have been exhausted in just a short while.

Qi Li showed no pity for the six evil soul masters, and in the blink of an eye, he turned their souls into nourishment for the growth of the devouring dragon soul.

After devouring the souls of these six evil soul masters, the Devouring Dragon Soul, which was already over four meters tall, grew at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to exceed five meters.

If a Soul Beast like the Devouring Dragon can exceed five meters in size, it means it has reached adulthood and can become a powerful thousand-year-old Soul Beast.
