At this moment, Huo Yuhao was standing in the square in front of the altar. His mental detection allowed him to take in the entire square's situation, and his eyes were grim.
The square is now filled with evil soul masters, ranging in strength from Soul King to Titled Douluo, and there are more than 400 of them.
Almost everyone wears a conical veil or a black or white cloak, and very few reveal their true faces.
These more than 400 people should be the middle and high-level leaders of the Holy Spirit Church.
Almost all of these people are evil soul masters. The strong aura of evil soul masters makes Huo Yuhao feel that this world is too absurd.
These were only some of the evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Church who came for a soul-raising ceremony. There were still many more minions who had not yet arrived. There were at least a thousand evil soul masters in the entire Holy Spirit Church.
However, such a terrorist organization with thousands of evil soul masters had almost no voice on the mainland in the past, as if it had appeared out of thin air.
Huo Yuhao looked at these evil soul masters gathered together and sneered in his heart.
If a ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided artillery shell were detonated in this square at this moment, what a spectacular sight it would be?
There is no need to worry about Soul Saints and evil soul masters below them. Even if they have defensive soul guides to save their lives, they will definitely be evaporated directly. Only those at least at the Soul Douluo level have a chance of survival, and even if they survive, they will definitely be seriously injured.
Only those who have reached the level of Titled Douluo can survive with minor injuries, but if they are too close to the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells, they may die.
If one fixed-type soul-guided artillery shell is not enough, what about two or three?
Just as Huo Yuhao was thinking to himself, his spiritual detection suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura.
It’s Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.
Huo Yuhao had already met this Extreme Douluo master once. In order to prevent himself from being recognized by the other party, he tried to change his own mental fluctuations.
Dragon Emperor Douluo just quietly hung in the dark night, not noticing Huo Yuhao's presence. The mental fluctuations of hundreds of people in this square were too chaotic, and his keen perception was not interested in observing everyone.
Huo Yuhao was shocked again.
The spiritual detection actually sensed another existence of similar level to Long Xiaoyao, and compared to Long Xiaoyao, that existence's aura was full of bloody undead aura.
The owner of this aura is not inferior to Long Xiaoyao, which means that he has also reached the level of Extreme Douluo.
“Is there actually another Ultimate Douluo in the Holy Spirit Church?” Huo Yuhao was stunned.
An organization with two Ultimate Douluo, plus so many Titled Douluo, can definitely strive to become the number one organization in the continent.
The second terrifying aura was different from the careless Long Xiaoyao, and it locked onto Huo Yuhao precisely.
Huo Yuhao only felt a chill on his back that even extreme ice could not stop.
In the sea of spirit, the two emperors of ice and snow frowned and said, "What a powerful aura."
Tian Meng swallowed his saliva and said with some fear: "That human seems to have set his sights on you. Yuhao, you have to be extremely careful..."
Huo Yuhao replied in a deep voice: "Yes, I am fully prepared."
Soon, the chill in his body disappeared, and the second Extreme Douluo no longer paid attention to him.
Deputy leader Feng Ling walked up to the altar and announced loudly with powerful soul power.
"The soul raising ceremony begins now."
"Bring the holy servant."
Not far from Huo Yuhao, a dozen holy servants wearing white hats slowly walked out and gathered in front of a Titled Douluo.
Huo Yuhao's already furrowed brows furrowed even tighter.
He did not sense the aura of evil soul masters from those holy servants, which meant that they should be normal soul masters.
They were supposed to live a normal life, but now, they were all forcibly brought here by the Holy Spirit Church, and after undergoing the spirit-raising ceremony, they completely became part of the Holy Spirit Church.
Cults are really harmful to people.
If Nana had not been rescued by Huo Yuhao, she would most likely have gone through this ceremony as well.
Huo Yuhao felt fear and panic from those holy servants. Many of them were secretly sobbing under the cover of their hats.
Huo Yuhao already had some guesses about this so-called soul-raising ceremony. He estimated that it was using some kind of restriction on the soul to force them to do something or change their personality.
Huo Yuhao made three preparations to deal with this restriction.
One hand belongs to Yin Lex, one hand belongs to Bingdi Xuedi, and the other hand is his own.
"Take Holy Servant No. 1." Feng Ling said loudly.
The first holy servant walked up to the altar tremblingly. Although his strength had reached that of a Soul Emperor, he was now surrounded by countless evil soul masters. Judging from his frightened look, he was no different from an ordinary person.
Soon, Holy Servant No. 1 stepped onto the altar and came in front of Feng Ling.
Feng Ling was waving a strange flag in her hand and muttering some weird words.
"Lord Holy Emperor, please grant your Holy Servant the Holy Power..."
Holy Servant No. 1 just stood before her, trembling all over.
"what--"
Suddenly, the soul ring behind Holy Servant No. 1 burst out instinctively, and then he let out a scream and fell on the altar.
Feng Ling ignored him and continued to chant, "The Holy Emperor's Holy Power has been bestowed."
Holy Servant No. 1 fainted on the altar, and everyone below waited silently without saying a word.
After a long time, about half an hour, Holy Servant No. 1 stood up from the altar with a numb expression.
There was no fear in him at all, as if he had become a different person.
Feng Ling said loudly: "May the Holy Emperor live forever, and the Holy Maiden remain forever."
All the evil soul masters in the square responded: "Long live the Holy Emperor, and may the Holy Lady remain forever."
"Take Holy Servant No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4."
Feng Ling continued to shout.
Huo Yuhao carefully observed the subtle changes in the mental and soul power of those holy servants.
"It's a poor mental control, but once you get entangled, it's still a bit troublesome." Yin Lex said in a deep voice, "Yuhao, the restrictions on them were placed by that person with a very terrifying aura, but they are very restrictive. Using your method, you should be able to deceive that person."
"Ah."
Huo Yuhao nodded lightly.
Soon, the dozen or so holy servants all underwent the spiritual ascension ceremony. Because of the existence of the prohibition, they were completely inseparable from the Holy Spirit Church from then on.
Feng Ling continued at this time: "The Holy Emperor bless our Holy Church. Today, the Holy Church will welcome the Supreme Holy Son."
"Welcome to the Holy Son."
All the evil soul masters responded: "Welcome to the Holy Son——"
Huo Yuhao’s face was solemn as he stood up and walked towards the altar.
Under the altar, there was a handsome young man exuding a cold aura with an extremely ugly expression, full of resentment and jealousy.
“Why? Why isn’t the Holy Son me?” He looked at Huo Yuhao’s back and said through gritted teeth.
Chapter 305 You scum among the soul masters, I will lead you to the top (7k)
Huo Yuhao slowly climbed up the high platform, and with every step he took, the coldness in his eyes grew deeper.
Walk all the way to the top of the altar, in front of Feng Ling who is holding a flag.
"The Holy Son has returned." Feng Ling waved the flag in her hand, and her voice was obviously much more excited than before.
"Holy Son, please look at the holy object passed down by the Holy Emperor and tell the Holy Emperor about your existence."
As she spoke, she waved her flag and pointed to an object that looked like a square stele in the middle of the altar.
Feeling the strong fluctuations of soul power on the square stele, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.
The Holy Spirit Church wouldn't think that he didn't see it...
This is clearly an eighth-level soul guide device. If you insist on saying it is a holy object passed down by the Holy Emperor, do the high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Church believe it?
"What should I do?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.
Feng Ling replied: "Holy Son, please be patient and wait for the Holy Emperor to pass down his orders."
Huo Yuhao waited quietly.
The strong soul power fluctuations on this square stele actually came from the second terrifying aura, indicating that that person was using it.
"What a terrifying aura. The control over mental power and soul power is so strong. There are actually such strong people among humans." Bingdi said coldly.
Xue Di's expression was solemn. She asked, "This is an extremely strong mental restriction. Although it is not easy to use a restriction that can control people, if you are controlled by others like this, wouldn't you be putting on shackles?"
"Yin Laix, do you really believe that Yuhao can ignore that restriction?"
Yin Lex said: "In fact, strictly speaking, this so-called restriction should be a curse."
"curse?"
"That's right." Yin Lex's voice was filled with a hint of confidence. "There are five categories of necromancy, and I am best at the two categories of curse and summon."
"This curse is not very clever. I have seen that almost everyone present has been cursed with the same curse, except for a few strong ones, such as the deputy leader in front of you and the powerful aura you have seen."
"Even those Titled Douluo elders have been cursed?" Bing Di was slightly stunned and said with some surprise.
Yin Lex nodded: "But in order to cast a curse on so many powerful people, that person is far from being able to completely control them, and she can only use a fixed method to induce them."
"It should be that these people have done something to betray the Holy Spirit Church, such as revealing the location of the headquarters. The curse in their bodies will be triggered, causing them to explode and die."
"At the same time, all those who are cursed will be subtly brainwashed and eventually become fanatical believers of this Holy Spirit Church."
Xue Di frowned and said, "I don't quite understand the curse you're talking about, but if you want to break it, I'm afraid you have to have a higher level of cultivation than that human, right?"
Bingdi tapped Tianmeng's head and asked, "Can you break it by force with your mental power?"
"Well... I'm not sure..." Tian Meng hesitated.
Bingdi raised an eyebrow: "So it's impossible?"
"Um……"
Yin Lex chuckled and shook his head: "You don't need our help, just trust Yuhao. If you suddenly burst out with too strong mental power, it might attract the attention of that person."
While the discussion was going on in the Sea of Spirits, the eighth-level soul guide, the Cursed Monument, also began to operate.
A strong energy wave burst out from the square stele, like an invisible arrow shooting towards Huo Yuhao.
