Spirit Eyes Mutation, Make the World Feel Pain

Spirit Eyes Mutation, Make the World Feel Pain

Deep beneath the Demon Forest lay the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church: Holy Spirit Hall.

This complex covered more than a thousand mu, built entirely from solid granite. With all kinds of Lighting Soul Tools arranged throughout, it looked extravagantly luxurious.

Countless Evil Soul Masters had gathered here, numbering well over a thousand. Most were relatively weak, between Three Rings and Six Rings, though more than two hundred of them possessed higher cultivation.

Following Zhongli Wu's orders, everyone within Holy Spirit Hall gathered before a plaza and turned their eyes toward Huo Yuhao at Zhongli Wu's side.

Quite a few younger Evil Soul Masters looked at Huo Yuhao with hostility. After all, judging by the soul power fluctuations coming from him, he was clearly just some trash who had only recently become a soul master.

No matter the fantasy world, strength was the foundation that proved everything. The Evil Soul Masters clearly had little regard for this so-called Holy Son.

In the Holy Spirit Church, there could be several Holy Maidens, but there had never been more than one Holy Son.

If he could not demonstrate the special qualities expected of the Holy Spirit Church's Holy Son, no Evil Soul Master would fear him.

Faced with the layer upon layer of Evil Soul Masters exuding eerie, sinister auras, Huo Yuhao, whose apparent Soul Power Level was merely ten, would have been crushed on the spot by that pressure alone if Zhongli Wu had not blocked it with his soul power.

"Holy Son, please release your Martial Soul." Zhongli Wu looked at Huo Yuhao and smiled.

Huo Yuhao nodded. His soul power surged, and his Spirit Eyes opened. That illusory grayish-white soul ring appeared once more, immediately causing a commotion.

"A Body Martial Soul? Shouldn't he be from the Body Sect?"

"Isn't that soul ring supposed to be a ten-year one? Why does its color look so strange?"

"The Holy Son should be around ten years old, right? Why does he only have One Ring?"

"..."

Listening to the discussions of the many Evil Soul Masters, Huo Yuhao clenched his fists tightly. He had had enough of the humiliation of being questioned and mocked.

Naturally, none of Huo Yuhao's movements escaped Zhongli Wu's notice. He was highly satisfied with Huo Yuhao's unwillingness to submit, and he raised a hand to press down at the crowd.

"Silence."

"You must be very curious about what qualifications the Holy Son I selected possesses to stand in this position. Let me tell you: this soul ring is a Self-Generated Soul Ring. The Holy Son's true Soul Power Level exceeds thirty. He is currently the only one on the Douluo Continent with Innate Level 30 Full Soul Power!"

Zhongli Wu's calm words instantly left every Evil Soul Master stunned. The place fell silent. They had only ever heard of the legendary Angel God with Innate Level 20 Full Soul Power. Who would have thought that this Holy Son surpassed even that legend?

Among them were Evil Soul Masters who specialized in theoretical knowledge, and they recalled classified research passed down from Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago: any soul master with Innate Level 30 Full Soul Power or higher would inevitably become a god!

After all, people had long questioned whether the Ten Core Competence Theory of Yu Xiaogang, the great master of ten thousand years ago, had been copied from Spirit Hall and revised through his ambiguous relationship with the Pope. Some classified archives had never even been seen by the Pope.

In the end, some materials only made their way out of the Worship Hall of the former empire after the fall of the Spirit Hall Empire, where they were studied and discussed by later generations.

Zhongli Wu was quite pleased by everyone's shock. Then, unhurriedly, he took a Soul Guiding Banner from his Storage Soul Tool, slowly waved it before him, and began to chant.

Some of the Holy Spirit Church's higher-ups who knew Zhongli Wu understood what their leader was about to do. Soon, countless Resentful Spirits formed from those tortured and slaughtered by the Holy Spirit Church were released from the Soul Guiding Banner. Among them were even super Resentful Spirits with the strength of Titled Douluo.

"Yuan Jia, activate your Martial Soul. I will publicly complete your Martial Soul's Secondary Awakening."

This was bad. Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched wildly. If his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul truly absorbed this stuff, would he not become an Evil Soul Master who knew only slaughter and destruction?

Of course, if he refused, he would probably become one of the many Resentful Spirits within that Soul Guiding Banner immediately.

Though utterly unwilling, Huo Yuhao could only take things one step at a time. He activated his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, and those Resentful Spirits seemed to sense something as they surged toward his eyes.

Under countless watchful gazes, those absurdly powerful Resentful Spirits entered Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes one after another. Compared to the residents of the Ducal Palace, whose soul power cultivation had not been high, these Resentful Spirits brought Huo Yuhao an incomparably greater Mental Impact. After merely three or four entered him, his head nearly split apart from the agony, and he let out a painful howl.

Yet Zhongli Wu could clearly see Huo Yuhao's eyes radiating dazzling light. Though he felt some heartache, the moment he thought of the future Huo Yuhao would bring to the Holy Spirit Church, he quickly let it go.

This was a Martial Soul awakening method unique to Evil Soul Masters with spiritual-type Martial Souls. Unlike the Body Sect, which tempered the body and pushed the corresponding Martial Soul body part to its limit, Evil Soul Masters were often relatively weak in Spiritual Power. Simply raising Huo Yuhao's soul power would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, easily leaving his foundation unstable. Zhongli Wu truly intended to nurture him as the Holy Son, so naturally he would not do something so foolish. Using Resentful Spirits to assault his Sea of Spirit and allow it to evolve was the better choice.

Under the expectant gazes of all the Evil Soul Masters, rings of ripples faintly appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes. His originally pale blue irises gradually turned blood-red, while his Spiritual Pressure began to soar explosively.

Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes had always been a spiritual-type Martial Soul. Thus, when it awakened at age six, his Spiritual Power had directly surpassed the Spirit Origin Realm and entered the Spirit Connection Realm. After several years of cultivation, it had already reached the middle stage of the Spirit Connection Realm.

After Huo Yuhao flattened the Ducal Palace and absorbed those souls, his Spiritual Power had surged all the way to the peak of the Spirit Connection Realm. Now, with Zhongli Wu's all-out assistance, he directly broke through the bottleneck of the Spirit Connection Realm.

Early Spirit Sea Realm, middle Spirit Sea Realm, peak Spirit Sea Realm, Spirit Abyss Realm!

As deep as an abyss, as oppressive as a prison; Azure Sky Yellow Spring, Above the Azure Sky Below the Yellow Spring—wherever his will reached, all things returned to his heart!

Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes finally stopped devouring the Resentful Spirits. Zhongli Wu revealed a look of wild delight, swiftly put away the Soul Guiding Banner, and grabbed Huo Yuhao by the shoulder to sense his changes.

One had to know that among the inherently spiritually fragile Evil Soul Masters, not even the most talented members of the younger generation had reached the Spirit Abyss Realm.

After reaching the Spirit Abyss Realm, Huo Yuhao could observe changes in his appearance without even looking in a mirror. Aside from his Sea of Spirit expanding dozens of times over, his features had become much more defined. Within his soul-stirring eyes, his blood-red pupils bore ring after ring of ripples.

Holy shit, seriously? Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. He could clearly feel that he was already able to use Spiritual Power to accomplish certain things through Pupil Power alone.

He spread his arms, and Spiritual Power poured forth. His powerful will slowly lifted him into the air. Another grayish-white soul ring emerged beneath his feet, and as he rose, a tremendous repulsive force suddenly erupted.

Fine then, Almighty Push...

Countless members of the Holy Spirit Church stared in shock at Huo Yuhao as he continued rising. At just that moment, a beam of light from a Lighting Soul Tool shone from behind him.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao looked like a Demon God Descends!

"Welcome the Holy Son's return!"

"The Holy Son has descended! Long Live the Holy Spirit Church!"

No one knew who started shouting those words, but they instantly sparked a frenzy of worship. Looking at the fanatically fervent members of the Holy Spirit Church below, Huo Yuhao felt as if he had returned to his original world, where a crowd of crazed fans screamed themselves hoarse at a concert.

Several elders of the Holy Spirit Church came to Zhongli Wu's side, all of them thrilled beyond measure. They respectfully said, "The Holy Son has descended. Congratulations, Church Leader!"

"Hahahaha..." Zhongli Wu threw back his head and laughed, completely unrestrained. The elders exchanged glances, equally exhilarated.

"Heaven blesses our Holy Spirit Church!"

Floating in midair, Huo Yuhao could only grit his teeth and use his Spiritual Power to speak that unbelievably cringeworthy line.

"Now, Make the World Feel Pain!"

Fine, I admit it. That was cringeworthy.
