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

However, these powerful beast souls were not the real reason why the Great Holy Spirit felt as if his own mother had died.

The real reason he felt the same grief as if his own mother had died was because he saw a familiar figure beside the 20,000-year-old earth fire dragon. It was a tall figure constructed from pitch-black bones, and six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—were flashing on its body, with black flames burning on them.

Although his martial soul was a vengeful spirit, and the power emanating from the Holy Spirit Cult's secret techniques allowed him to transform his body into something akin to a true martial soul form, his eyes were not blind. He could clearly discern that the incredibly familiar figure was his junior brother, who was also an evil soul master and Soul Emperor. Moreover, the other party was the Second Holy Spirit.

Looking at the vibrant and powerful beast souls before him, and then at the aura emanating from his junior brother's soul, he suddenly felt uneasy.

Normally, he would definitely have the upper hand when facing his junior brother.

After all, his martial spirit and cultivation level gave him a certain advantage, but that was definitely not the same as the current situation.

Although his junior brother was dead, and only his soul was being manipulated, this meant that his junior brother's strength had decreased considerably compared to when he was alive. However, the problem was that he was now facing not just his junior brother, but also a beast soul of ten thousand years level, and the dragon soul of the Earthfire Crimson Dragon, whose strength, while not reaching the ten thousand years level, was still formidable.

As a malevolent soul master, no one understood better than him the immense power that the souls of soul beasts and humans could unleash.

After all, whether it's a soul beast or a human, their essential power lies hidden within their soul; physical strength is not the most important factor.

Unfortunately, he had been severely injured by Ye Lie, an evil soul master and soul saint, which damaged his body's core power. Although he was not in mortal danger, it was already unimaginable that he could only exert half of his power.

So if it were a head-on confrontation, he knew he would definitely face death.

However, precisely because his superpowers are ineffective, he has now begun to activate his super intelligence.

As the Devouring Dragon Earth Fire Dragon charged toward him and unleashed its innate soul skill, the last black soul ring on his body suddenly shone brightly.

His figure vanished instantly, replaced by a thin, extremely faint black arc in the air.

Sixth Soul Skill: Nether Soul Assault!

This was a move that transformed his own power and his body into soul power to the maximum extent, and launched a surprise attack. Because he was still alive this week, he couldn't unleash his full potential, but that didn't affect his current speed, which far exceeded the speed that an ordinary Soul Saint could unleash. He arrived in front of Qi Li in an instant.

The Great Holy Spirit had thought it through clearly: if it came to a head-on confrontation, he would be no match for the Devouring Dragon Soul, the Earth Fire Crimson Dragon Soul, the Earth Fire Dragon Soul, and the Two Holy Spirits.

Therefore, the key is to capture the leader first, and eliminate Qi Li, who is driving the soul into battle.

This way, you can avoid facing the most dangerous situation.

As for why they didn't just arrest Nana and threaten Leon,

In his view, Qi Li, who could control souls and exuded an aura of pure vengeful spirits, was naturally one of the evil soul masters.

As a member of the evil spirit masters, how could he possibly give up the opportunity to kill his enemy for the sake of a so-called comrade?

Therefore, his choice has always been only Qi Li, and he has never thought of making Nana his target.

His idea wasn't entirely wrong; after all, for an evil spirit master, companions were just another way of saying cannon fodder.

However, he is now facing an absolutely special situation, at least not the kind of situation where he can get what he wants.

When he watched him approach, Qi Li wasn't caught off guard.

As the owner of the Bone Dragon Martial Soul, his physical attributes were naturally extremely strong, not much different from the evil soul master Soul Emperor in front of him.

Therefore, he could react to attacks that ordinary people would find difficult to react to without any hesitation. The enhancement from the power of the Bone Dragon's origin was also enough for his body to react.

His method was quite simple: he lit up both his purple thousand-year soul ring and the black soul ring representing a ten-thousand-year soul ring at the same time.

Second Soul Skill: Soul-Burning Strike!

Third Soul Skill: Netherfire Dragon Transformation!

His second soul skill brought him an extremely powerful amplification effect.

It not only inflicts severe damage to the soul and spirit of his enemies with its high temperature and burning effects, but also significantly increases the temperature of his evil fire.

His third soul skill also originates from the Earth Fire Dragon series of soul beasts. This creates a great synergy with his second soul skill, further enhancing its effect.

His third soul skill is also an amplification-type soul skill.

The moment this soul skill was activated, Qi Li's already dragon-transformed body swelled even more.

Although Qi Li is technically only a teenager, he is much taller than some adults.

His height had reached over two meters, approaching three meters.

His body radiated a light like precious jade, and his hands and chest were replaced by tough, jade-like dragon bones. Dark red flames burned all over his body.

Although the dark red flames on his body were unremarkable in appearance, they generated a very high temperature.

The moment the dark red flames rose from his body, the surrounding air distorted.

His hands and chest, which had already transformed into a bone dragon, were swollen beyond recognition. Although they had a strange beauty, it was still undeniable that Qi Li's hands were developing in a non-human direction.

At the critical moment, Qi Li also managed to retrieve the souls of the two Holy Spirits back into his own body and merge them with himself in that brief instant.

Soul fusion!
