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

In the dead of night, various nocturnal spirit beasts in the Demon Forest began to stir.

As they became active, the spirit beasts that were active during the day and hibernating at night lost their daytime power and became prey for others.

Crack, crack, crack.

The sounds of tearing and chewing echoed through the night, deterring even some ferocious spirit beasts from approaching.

Because besides the chewing sound, there was also a strong smell of blood from the Soul Beast Overlord, the Devouring Dragon.

The sounds, whether they came from the Devouring Dragon or from other overlord soul beasts that killed it, were not something they were qualified to approach.

That would be an absolute danger zone for them.

However, what they didn't know was that if they got closer, they probably wouldn't see the Devouring Dragon feasting.

The other party had already become a corpse.

The sounds of chewing and tearing both originated from the Tang Dynasty.

The other party is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Queen Ant, whose size is similar to its own.

Unlike ordinary ants, the queen ant is not as strong and resilient, but in terms of nutrition, she is far superior to other ants.

Not to mention that Tang Dai had just absorbed the Thousand-Pound Ant Soul Ring, and now the Thousand-Pound Ant Queen could further enhance the power of his first Soul Ring.

However, even so, the current Tang Dynasty is actually hoping that some foolish soul beast will come and give them a meal.

His talent as a demonic soul master was revealed after his spiritual ascension; devouring bones made his cultivation and martial soul even stronger.

The bones of spirit beasts are a good choice.

The exoskeleton of the pygmy ant is not considered a bone.

As for why they didn't go and gnaw on the Devouring Dragon's bones...

Tang Dai knew that Qi Li's talent as an evil soul master was enhanced by devouring dragon bones.

The Devouring Dragon is of even greater value to Qi Li.

He wouldn't steal Qi Li's spoils at this time.

A pair of golden soul flames flickered continuously, and the body of the Queen Ant was visibly shrinking smaller and smaller.

However, another pair of dark red soul flames soon began to burn in the darkness.

"It's over? It took much longer than I expected."

Tang Dai stood up and looked at Qi Li.

"Well, there was a little unexpected but happy surprise."

Qi Li wore a smile, but a deep yellow soul ring rose from beneath his feet.

The Devouring Dragon's true age should be well over five hundred years, but its appearance hasn't changed yet because of the previous digestion speed.

The quality of this spirit ring is in no way inferior to that of a thousand-year spirit ring.

However, there is still one precious resource that I absolutely cannot give up.

The deep yellow spirit ring beneath Qi Li's feet shone brightly, and a huge dragon skull suddenly formed behind him.

Dark red soul fire burned within the skull, and an incomparably mysterious power manifested on the Devouring Dragon's body.

In an instant, the Devouring Dragon's enormous body was visibly becoming thinner and shriveled.

In just a few breaths, the Devouring Dragon's size shrank from over four meters to three meters.

Then a huge gray shadow appeared on the Devouring Dragon's body. The shadow's shape was somewhat rough, but you could still see its huge head, short forelimbs, thick hind limbs, and powerful tail that could maintain balance.

This is none other than the dragon soul that devours dragons!

As the best embodiment of primordial power, the dragon soul that devours the dragon possesses even more power and is more crucial than its own body.

If Qi Li were willing, he could even unleash the Devouring Dragon's innate soul skill, Devouring Heaven and Earth, by manipulating the Devouring Dragon's soul.

"This is the effect of my first soul skill, which I plan to call Soul Cage. As for why it's this kind of soul skill, it's probably because the power of the Devouring Dragon and my Bone Dragon Martial Soul have undergone subtle mutations."

Qi Li looked at the towering Devouring Dragon Soul with immense excitement.

If the Devouring Dragon hadn't chosen to swallow him, he wouldn't have been able to defeat this powerful Soul Beast Overlord with his strength.

It's important to understand that even a Grand Soul Master wouldn't be a match for a Devouring Dragon whose age is clearly over five hundred years.

"Let's go. It'll give us a ride. We don't need to hunt for spirit rings anymore anyway. Taking the Demon Forest with us would only do us harm. Let's head back."

Qi Li strode up to the back of the Devouring Dragon Soul and extended an invitation to the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Dai looked at the towering Devouring Dragon Soul without hesitation and quickly sat down.

However, Qi Li did not immediately have the Devouring Dragon Soul take them away. Instead, he turned around and had the Devouring Dragon spit out a Devouring Heaven and Earth attack.

The corpses of the Thousand-Pound Ants and the Devouring Dragon on the ground were transformed into the purest nutrients in Devouring Heaven and Earth, and then all of them were injected into Qi Li's body.

A level 16 soul skill is not bad.

Qi Li thought to himself.

The dragon bones of a sub-dragon soul beast like the Devouring Dragon are of great benefit to oneself, while the flesh and soul of the Thousand-Pound Ant and the Devouring Dragon are relatively ordinary in comparison.

Seeing that his right hand had already shown signs of dragonification, composed of tough dragon bones and dragon skin, Qi Li also wanted to test just how strong his power was.

There wasn't a suitable candidate for the trial at the moment.

After approaching the temporary base of the Holy Spirit Cult, Qi Li chose to retrieve the dragon soul of the Devouring Dragon into the Soul Cage.

The people I'm dealing with next are all members of the Holy Spirit Cult, so I'd better keep this a secret as much as possible.

The soul of a dragon that devours dragons can have unexpected effects if used properly.

Qi Li got to use the soul of this Devouring Dragon much faster than he had imagined.

Just three hundred meters from the temporary camp set up by the Holy Spirit Cult, a Holy Spirit Cult member dressed in black robes, whose physique clearly indicated he was an adult, blocked Qi Li and his group's path.

"A seed that passed the trial? It seems you two are quite talented. Have you seen that seed whose martial soul is the Bone Dragon? A powerful figure is looking for him."

The figure in the black robe spoke incoherently, making it impossible to discern their stance.

After hearing what the other person said, Tang Dai couldn't help but glance at Qi Li.

That's when the problem arose.

"Hahaha! Looks like I really am lucky! I've secured that lord's reward!"

The figure in the black robe suddenly pulled out a dagger from under his sleeve and stabbed at Qi Li.

The dagger had a strong, foul odor, was gray in color, and had three spirit rings: one white and two yellow.

A Soul Master! And a Soul Master who is also an evil Soul Master!
