Douluo Continent: The Peerless Sun and Moon Traverse the Heavens

Xu Cheng sat cross-legged, his brows slightly furrowed.

A fierce battle is taking place within the sea of ​​his spirit:

A hideous phantom of a demonic spider relentlessly attacked a ball of green light, which was the remnant soul of the Soul-Devouring Spider, born from its resentment at the moment of its death.

The sun and moon slowly rotated in the sky, illuminating the originally gray world a little brighter.

Xu Cheng's thoughts had already descended upon this place.

He manipulated the half-white, half-black moon to slowly descend. The moon's martial spirit essence was still very weak, its size only a quarter of that of the demon spider.

The instant the two come into contact,

The spider let out a mournful roar.

Wisps of black smoke rose continuously from the point of contact, only to be absorbed by the blackness within the Moon Martial Soul.

The spider struggled frantically, its eight sharp legs repeatedly tossing its body into the air, shaking off whatever was on its back.

The moon, however, clung to the spider like a leech, relentlessly plundering its soul power.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the spider lost all its strength, collapsed to the ground and stopped resisting. The spider's phantom gradually dimmed and disappeared.

The moon that was pressing down on it had also grown a bit larger, almost the same size as the original size of the demon spider.

Xu Cheng slowly opened his eyes.

A blood-red 100,000-year soul ring appeared behind him, accompanied by two extremely powerful attack soul skills:

Eternal Creation:

It unleashed a powerful slash, and the wounds of the target could not heal on their own, forcing them to consume their own soul power to resist the erosion.

Space Tear Abyss Slash:

Ignoring space, it unleashes two powerful slashes, guaranteed to hit the target with spatial attributes.

Xu Cheng: I no longer have to worry about not being able to break through the defenses of a 100,000-year-old soul beast!

Xu Cheng smiled slightly and then turned his attention back to his Moon Martial Soul.

With a thought, a dark shadow emerged from the dark part of the Moon Martial Soul and landed on the ground; it was the soul of the Soul-Devouring Spider.

When I tried to communicate with it through my mind, I received no response, but I gained a sense of complete control.

He manipulated the spider's soul to circle around him, as if it were his own arm.

Xu Cheng nodded in satisfaction and then put the demonic spider away.

"You're absorbing it much faster than I expected."

A hoarse female voice came from behind Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng looked back and saw his teacher, Ye Xishui. Suppressing his joy, he quickly bowed and said, "This disciple thanks Teacher for his guidance."

Ye Xishui tossed over two objects, one purple and the other white.

Xu Cheng caught it and examined it carefully:

The purple one is a skull, which should have been produced by this 100,000-year-old Soul-Devouring Demon Spider.

The white thing is a mask with only three crescent-shaped openings. Judging from its material, it should be the silk of this Soul-Devouring Demon Spider, which cannot be penetrated by soul power.

"Keep the soul bone for now and absorb it yourself when you have time. Put on this mask first, and I'll take you to join my organization."

Remember, only I can know your identity.

Ye Xishui paused for a moment, then continued:

"The organization is called the Holy Spirit Cult. I am the Supreme Elder. From now on, you will be the Holy Son of the Cult, with a status above that of the Elders. Take the name Youyue."

"Your disciple obeys!"

Xu Cheng put on the mask; it felt cold to the touch, yet it fit his skin perfectly. He muttered to himself:

Holy Son of the Moonlit Night?

Isn't this usually a villain on the sidelines in fantasy novels?

Ye Xishui led Xu Cheng to fly low above the Demon Forest and soon arrived at a clump of low bushes. Pushing aside the bushes, a huge cave entrance was revealed, and Ye Xishui led Xu Cheng inside.

The passage was very steep.

After descending about thirty meters, the space became wider.

The entire underground space has been hollowed out, with a height of about ten meters. At a glance, it is a continuous palace-style building, illuminated by soul-guided lighting devices. It is roughly estimated to cover an area of ​​about a thousand acres.

This place has now been transformed into an underground city.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"

Ye Xishui did not answer, but led Xu Cheng straight toward the largest building in the center.

Xu Cheng kept observing his surroundings. The people here were all wearing the same black robes of the Holy Spirit Church, and they were mostly walking alone. However, the aura they released was very powerful, and they all had cultivation levels above Soul Emperor.

Upon entering the main hall, Ye Xishui was greeted by a bald old man with several ferocious scars on his face, giving him a very menacing appearance. When he saw Xu Cheng's appearance, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Elder, this is my newly accepted disciple, the new Holy Son of our sect. Take him to familiarize himself with the sect's affairs, and then let him leave on his own."

"I will obey the orders of the Supreme Elder."

The Grand Elder licked his lips with his scarlet tongue and said to Xu Cheng, "Holy Son, please follow me."

Ye Xishui vanished in a flash, and the Grand Elder led Xu Cheng to a side hall of the palace. Several disciples dressed in black robes were writing furiously. Upon seeing the Grand Elder arrive, they quickly stood up.

"Greetings, Grand Elder."

"This is the new Holy Son of the Holy Church. Go and fetch a Holy Son token."

"Yes, sir!"

After receiving the token, the Grand Elder led Xu Cheng to tour the underground city.

Although the Holy Spirit Cult is an evil cult, the city is still well-organized. In addition to places for cultivation, there are also halls for making soul guides and producing drugs, all of which are managed by several elders of the cult.

Xu Cheng didn't stand on ceremony with the elder, treating it as a casual conversation between colleagues.

He is the Holy Son of the Holy Church, whose status is above that of the elders.

The elder leading the way suddenly turned to look at Xu Cheng:

"Why is His Highness wearing a mask, hiding his face?"

"It was all the teacher's instruction."

Xu Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly beneath his mask, but his reply was neither warm nor cold.

The elder turned his head without answering and led Xu Cheng to a three-story pavilion.

"This is where our sect stores its cultivation methods, scriptures, and records. By virtue of my status as the Holy Son, I have the right to access any materials. I will take my leave now."

Thank you for your trouble.

Xu Cheng waved his hand, showed the newly acquired Holy Son Token to the gatekeeper, and then entered the pavilion.

The first bookshelf contained the archives of the Holy Spirit Cult. Xu Cheng pulled them out and flipped through them, comparing them one by one with the contents he remembered:

The structure of the Holy Spirit Cult is very similar to that of the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, with each key department being headed by an elder who has reached the title of Douluo.

When an elder's strength reaches level 95 Super Douluo, they will no longer be responsible for specific affairs, but will become a respected elder in the sect, focusing on improving their strength.

The elder we just saw was a level 94 offensive titled Douluo with the Martial Soul Ghoul, responsible for guarding the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters and handling combat matters.

Xu Cheng's mental strength has increased significantly, and even his speed in reviewing information is much faster than before.

As he gained a deeper understanding, he discovered that the Holy Spirit Cult's strength was indeed unfathomable. Even disregarding the two top Limit Douluo, the number of Super Douluo and Title Douluo alone was no less than that of Shrek Academy.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't impersonated a powerful member of the Holy Spirit Cult in the original story, killed high-ranking officers of the Sun Moon Empire's army, and stirred up discord between the two, Shrek Academy would not have been able to continue.

They come, the security.

After all, becoming a Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Church would open up even greater possibilities for him!
