The Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Son, Lin Yun

As the will of the Skeletal Bone Dragon surged forth, Lin Yun felt his entire body enveloped by dark energy, and that yellow crystal flew out from the depths of his mind.

Flying out alongside it were the Ice Empress and Electrolux.

"What is happening?"

The Ice Empress's panicked voice rang out, while Electrolux merely narrowed his eyes.

"We have been banished from the depths of his spiritual world to the surface layer by his Martial Soul. No, this is not entirely his spiritual world, but an extension of it."

"It should be described as a domain conjured by his spirit that does not belong to reality, yet can influence reality to a certain extent."

The Ice Empress impatiently waved her hand and immediately followed up.

"Don't make it so complicated. Where is Xue'er? Can we still go back?"

Electrolux looked at the Ice Empress with resignation, his eyes filled with the doting affection of a father for his child, and said calmly.

"While you were sleeping, the Snow Empress was arranged by Lin Yun to go to that place called the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, so naturally, she is not here. As for whether we can go back..."

"That depends on the intentions of his Martial Soul."

The Snow Empress immediately stirred restlessly, raising her hand as ice and snow elements gathered within her palm, then began to flicker.

"Let this Empress look at his expression? He is dreaming!"

Electrolux snapped his fingers, wrapping the Ice Empress in light elements, and then advised.

"You had best not do that, for this is an extension of Lin Yun's spiritual world. If you damage this place, Lin Yun will also die. We all rely on Lin Yun's soul to exist; if that happens, we will perish even faster than this Martial Soul."

The Ice Empress angrily flicked her hand, dissipating the ice elements, and then said with some urgency.

"Then what are we to do? Old man, you should come up with a plan."

Electrolux spoke to the Ice Empress calmly.

"You need not be so anxious. Firstly, since that Martial Soul said it would crown Lin Yun as Emperor, it is unlikely to harm him. And since it had the power to banish us before we could even react, it means the other party also has the power to finish us off."

"The fact that it hasn't done so at least indicates that it does not wish to kill us for now. We need only wait and see how things develop."

Meanwhile, Lin Yun was enduring the scouring of dark elemental Soul Power, and that yellow crystal transformed into a set of black armor, gradually merging into Lin Yun's body.

At the same time, the authority over darkness was condensing into Lin Yun's physical form.

Lin Yun opened his eyes, a flash of clarity crossing his gaze.

He reached out and clenched his fist toward the darkness overhead.

The entire spiritual domain began to contract, finally returning into Lin Yun's body.

This ritual had not actually caused much to happen, save for unlocking the upper limit of the undead soldiers he could convert from the spirits of those he killed.

He could now summon an unlimited army to fight for him; that was all.

As for that suit of armor, Lin Yun could feel that he was not yet able to utilize the power within it.

Lin Yun opened his eyes to see that the space before him was now crowded with people.

The front rows were occupied by individuals whose auras far surpassed that of the Blood Blade Douluo, led by a middle-aged man flanked by an old man and an old woman.

Their auras were of the same caliber as Mu En.

Lin Yun had already guessed their identities.

Zhongli Wu, Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao.

At this moment, Zhongli Wu was looking at a blood-red crystal ball in his hand; the crystal ball was flickering with a crimson halo, and its surface was already covered in cracks.

Zhongli Wu said excitedly.

"Son of the Holy Spirit, this is talent at the level of the Son of the Holy Spirit, the future leader of our Cult!"

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes, looking toward Ma Xiaotao, who was still soaking in the blood pool.

The chains on her body had not yet been removed, but the flames upon her had shifted from red to black.

Zhongli Wu turned around to face the surrounding members of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Today, our Cult has found the legendary Son of the Holy Spirit, which means the successor to our Cult's future has been found."

"The shattering of the Holy Spirit Crystal means that no higher-level Holy Son will be born in the future. Therefore, today, this Sect Master officially proclaims Lin Yun as the Great Holy Son of our Cult, with a status equal to that of the Vice Sect Master, and he may handle the daily affairs of the Cult as he sees fit."

At this time, the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao looked at Lin Yun with great interest and said to him.

"I heard our Holy Son Lin came from Shrek Academy? How is Mu En faring?"

Lin Yun shook his head and then replied.

"Senior Mu En's constitution was already poor, and now that the Inner Court has suffered such heavy losses, I expect his spirit is even more crushed."

Long Xiaoyao sighed. At this moment, Ye Xishui looked at Lin Yun, then waved her hand, throwing a dark red ring toward him.

Lin Yun reached out and caught it, standing his ground as he utilized the immense physical constitution granted by the Skeletal Bone Dragon to neutralize the violent impact it carried.

Ye Xishui could not help but think more highly of Lin Yun, then said.

"Not bad at all, to be able to catch a strike of this level without changing your expression."

Lin Yun lowered his head and said politely.

"Senior, you flatter me. This Humble One is still feeling quite unsettled; surviving that move was purely a matter of luck."

Ye Xishui waved her hand dismissively.

"Our Holy Spirit Cult doesn't bother with the hypocritical formalities of the righteous sects. Ability is ability; we don't have those stinking rules. It's high time those bad habits were discarded."

Lin Yun muttered under his breath.

"That doesn't mean one can be disrespectful to their elders."

Ye Xishui replied.

"It doesn't matter. If the small ones are disrespectful, the big ones can simply teach them who is in charge."

Lin Yun's face darkened instantly, and he cursed in a low voice.

Isn't this just pure masochism? They don't know what's good for them unless they get a beating.

Ye Xishui glanced at Lin Yun, and he immediately spoke up.

"Well, I have just one request: assign her to me as well. I don't have much interest in managing too many people; I'll just look after those of us who came from Shrek Academy. From now on, I will be exclusively responsible for operations targeting Shrek. How about that?"

Zhongli Wu looked at Ma Xiaotao and then began to laugh.

"You may be young, but you certainly have plenty of ideas. Fine, this Cult Master will make the call today. From now on, she will be responsible for serving you personally."

As he spoke, Zhongli Wu handed a red square seal to Lin Yun and said to him.

"As long as you hold this seal, you can control her life and death. She will also naturally feel drawn to you, unless someone can break the Amnesia Curse upon her."

Lin Yun nodded, bowed respectfully, and said.

"Many thanks, Cult Master."

At this moment, Zhongli Wu spoke again, addressing one of the figures in black robes.

"Zhang Peng, from now on, you and Blood Blade will be responsible for protecting the safety of the Holy Son. If you do well, you will naturally be heavily rewarded in the future!"

The black-robed figure immediately bowed and replied to Zhongli Wu that he would obey the order.

Afterward, Zhongli Wu led the others from the Holy Spirit Cult away, and Lin Yun took Ma Xiaotao to go find Zhang Lexuan...
