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

The Empire of the Sun and Moon, on the outskirts of Marseille.

"Uncle, look at you, you don't look like someone who'll live a long life. How about I beat you to a pulp, and then you thank me for helping you escape this seemingly terrible life?"

Qi Li unleashed a torrent of anger and hurled it at the dark-skinned man from the Sun Moon Empire in front of him.

The dark red fireball traversed the distance of space and struck the Sun Moon Empire man directly. However, unlike the others, the Sun Moon Empire man did not cry out in pain. Instead, he calmly took out a soul-guided ray from his body, aimed it at Qi Li, and pressed the switch.

Level 3 Soul Guiding Shield!

Level 3 Soul Guidance Device: Soul Guidance Compression Ray!

Although their levels are not high, they are still considered to be quite powerful in terms of output at the Soul Master level.

The potential of a Soul Master before reaching the seventh ring is definitely higher than that of an ordinary Soul Master.

"That won't do. I'm a Soul Master with a bright future. How could I possibly feel that my life has no fun? My ultimate goal is to live to be a hundred years old."

The Soul Master from the Sun Moon Empire, whose skin was so dark it was almost green, said this with a smile.

However, he was unaware that a crisis had already been brewing silently.

A Devouring Dragon, about six meters in size, had silently crept up behind him and spat out a small black ball about the size of a human head.

Devouring heaven and earth!

The immense attraction caused his soul-guided compression ray, which he had been aiming precisely, to veer off course, and he was rapidly being pulled toward the world-devouring force.

However, just as he aimed the compressed soul-guided ray in his hand at the huge black sphere, a hand pierced directly from his back to his face, and in the very center of that hand was a beating heart.

"Is that my heart?"

The light in his eyes quickly faded, and his body was soon compressed by Devouring Heaven and Earth into a sphere the size of a sheep dung ball.

Qi Li didn't pay any attention to the small sphere and casually tossed it to the Devouring Dragon Soul to digest.

He took out a black crystal ball from his hand, and it seemed to be drawing something from the open ground.

Soon, a pale yellow humanoid phantom was absorbed into the crystal ball.

"Yellow? Looks like I'm lucky, I didn't leave him with too much pain."

Qi Li glanced at the level-three soul tools that had fallen to the ground and, without any hesitation, immediately stored them in his storage soul tool.

The Holy Spirit Cult doesn't pay salaries or anything. If you want to make money, besides working as a guard for the Evening Water Alliance and completing some tasks, you basically have to rely on robbing and pillaging to earn income.

People like Qi Li, who openly and honestly kill a Soul Master of considerable strength and seize the Soul Tool from him to convert into cash, are extremely rare in the Holy Spirit Cult.

When Qi Li saw that the storage soul tool of the level 3 soul master he had killed contained more than 1 gold soul coins and several other level 3 soul tools, he felt that he had made a great harvest. It was not easy to catch such a fat sheep at this time.

He has been staying around Marseille for three months now.

During these three months, he did not gain any soul power by devouring other people's souls, but through his own efforts and improvements in battle.

He is now a level 20 quasi-Great Soul Master.

He only needs one spirit ring to become a two-ring Great Spirit Master.

However, compared to the progress in his own soul power, Qi Li's feelings in other aspects made him completely unable to feel happy about the improvement in his strength.

The members of the Holy Spirit Cult demonstrated unparalleled skill and efficiency in suppressing rebellions.

Although this efficiency came at the cost of countless broken families and the loss of countless lives, the rebellion that broke out in Marseille, the most famous city in the southern part of the Sun Moon Empire, was indeed quelled in just three months.

Marseille has now become a dead land, with only occasional scattered Soul Masters and Soul Mentors managing to find a secluded path to escape from the ruins.

Even so, the vast majority of them died here rather than escaped.

Even with some evil soul masters holding titles of Douluo in charge, a rebellion at most instigated by a Soul Master of the Soul Douluo level is still too fragile.

This escape of a Level 3 Soul Master is not an isolated case, and their fates are all the same as those of the Soul Masters killed by Qi Li.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Qi Li looked at the crystal ball in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

This crystal ball is no ordinary object; it was a gift specially prepared for him by the three Zhongli brothers. It is made of the same material as the crystal ball inlaid in the scepters in the hands of the three of them, which means that this crystal ball can become the core magic circle of an eighth-level soul tool.

If measured in gold soul coins, this crystal ball would be worth at least a million or even tens of millions of gold soul coins.

The most direct function of this crystal ball is to store souls, whether they are the souls of soul beasts or human souls.

The crystal ball is now filled with hundreds of different colors.

These hundreds of illusory figures are still constantly assimilating and devouring each other.

Among these hundreds of illusory figures, there are light red ones, as well as orange and brown ones; in general, they are all derivative colors leaning towards red.

This represents the souls of those who died violently, whose souls contain resentment to varying degrees.

Qi Li used this resentment to fuse with his own soul power in order to improve the quality of his soul power.

This is also the main reason why Qi Li was able to maintain his powerful combat strength as an evil soul master even while devouring human souls on a large scale.

With the help of the powerful Soul Cage skill, he could even extract all the souls in the crystal ball for his own use.

It's important to know that many of these souls were Soul Masters in their previous lives.

Although the power is somewhat weakened after becoming a soul compared to when it was alive.

However, if all these souls were to erupt, and combined with Qi Li's Devouring Dragon Soul, Qi Li would have a chance to escape even when facing a Soul Master-level expert.

This is also Qi Li's biggest gain in the past three months.

However, he was still somewhat dissatisfied, because he had never obtained that white phantom again.
