Chapter 637 Attack on the Holy Spirit Cult.
At this moment, within the Holy Spirit Cult, a leading evil spirit master, his face grim, watched the busy cult members and asked in a deep voice to one beside him,
"Has no news come back yet?"
"No, not a single word so far," the evil spirit master replied respectfully.
"They're all useless trash. It seems we can't count on them. Let's see if those invaders come."
The leading evil spirit master frowned slightly, then changed the subject, "The last batch of supplies has all been transported away, and our people have all returned. Once these supplies are out, this place can be completely abandoned. If the cult leader's plan succeeds, then this will be our world."
The evil spirit master beside him nodded in agreement, "The cult leader's plan will definitely succeed! Elder, when do we leave?"
"We'll wait for those invaders a little longer," the leading evil spirit master ordered, "As for the other cult members, pack your things and leave immediately. After all, the supplies are of utmost importance; we can't afford any problems."
After speaking, the leading evil spirit master continued to ask.
"By the way, what did it say after you went to find it?"
"Don't worry, Elder, it has agreed."
"Hehehe! Very good!"
The leader of the evil spirit masters' smile turned sinister and vicious. "Since we evil spirit masters are about to be in trouble, then let those invaders serve as our sacrifice!"
"Yes."
The evil spirit master respectfully replied. With the sect leader not here, the elders in charge of this matter were their masters, and the numerous evil spirit masters had no choice but to obey their orders.
Just then, suddenly, the leader of the evil spirit masters and several other elders almost simultaneously raised their heads and looked up at the sky. Their expressions changed slightly, and a sinister joy was hidden in their eyes, but then, just like a change of face, their expressions turned ugly.
As the elders looked up, the group of evil soul master protectors also sensed something was wrong, and they all looked up as well.
As elders with cultivation levels above Title Douluo, they all possessed strong perception abilities. How could they not feel the immense pressure suddenly emanating from the sky?
"Men, prepare defenses!"
In the tense atmosphere, the elders gave an order, and layers of light shields composed of pure soul power and defensive soul tools instantly rose up, enveloping all the evil soul masters.
The sky gradually darkened, large clouds gathered from afar, and the weather seemed to be turning colder.
"Something seems wrong, I'll go check it out," one of the elders said in a deep voice. However, he was pulled back by the leading evil soul master elder, who shook his head and said, "These invaders are not simple. Although this pressure is not as strong as what the sect leader gave us, their strength is absolutely terrifying. It's definitely not something that people from the Sun Moon Continent possess. So these invaders are probably from the place the sect leader went to. And I think I know some information..."
He had already said the last sentence.
"So what should we do now? Could it be..."
The leading evil spirit master nodded.
"If it really doesn't work, then prepare. But for now, let's notify it, and hopefully lure that guy out."
A cluster of blood-red flames rose up, exploding in the air, followed by a beam of blood-red light shooting higher into the sky, exploding again and transforming into a blood-red skull that lingered for a long time. This was the notification signal.
At that moment, a purple light descended from the sky. The light wasn't particularly intense, but the moment it appeared, the evil spirit masters below all paled.
The defensive shield trembled violently.
Just when they thought they had blocked it, the sky was filled with lightning, and a gigantic lightning dragon, riding a sea of thunder, descended from the sky after manifesting!
At this moment, the defensive shield that had blocked the previous attack once again withstood an attack even more powerful than before.
"Pfft!"
But the result of the defense was predictable. The defensive light barrier barely managed to stop the nine-in-one thunder dragon for a moment before it was completely pierced through. The thunder dragon and the sea of lightning surrounding it instantly collapsed.
Seeing this, the elders and protectors quickly retreated, fleeing into the distance. As for the ordinary followers, they were simply doomed.
A violent roar erupted the next instant, as if the entire earth had been ripped apart. The terrifying explosion distorted the heavens and earth, and the Demon Forest was thrown into turmoil.
This was Xuanmo's sixth soul skill, "Gluttonous Divine Thunder Tribulation," and Mulin's ninth soul skill, "World-Shaking Thunder Annihilation!"
The explosion lasted for over ten seconds before gradually subsiding.
When the elders and protectors got up from the ground, they saw a scene of utter devastation from the explosion.
Many rare metals had liquefied under the intense heat of the lightning, and even more resources had been vaporized and vanished without a trace. What pained and terrified the elders and protectors most was that a large number of low- to mid-level evil soul masters had disappeared. Under an attack of this magnitude, there was absolutely no chance of survival.
"This attack! It really was them!" "So, what about the previous times…"
The leading evil spirit master elder's face had turned completely ashen; he had clearly realized something.
In this massive explosion, aside from the elders, protectors, and evil spirit masters above the seventh ring, almost no one survived. Even those who did survive were likely crippled.
They had known of the intruders' attack, and the Holy Spirit Cult's defenses wouldn't have been so lax. However, supplies needed to be moved, and many fortifications had already been dismantled. Moreover, the elders knew these intruders were powerful, but they hadn't expected them to be this strong.
The intense heat from the lightning continued; within the blast radius, everything was scorched earth. Over a thousand… Of the evil spirit masters, fewer than a hundred survived the thunderous explosion.
The elders and protectors gritted their teeth, their eyes bloodshot. Despair filled their hearts; they knew the Holy Spirit Cult leader would not spare them now.
But the intense heat from the lightning didn't dissipate; instead, it intensified, only to be replaced by extreme cold.
Sensing the change in temperature, the elders and protectors quickly surveyed their surroundings.
They saw snowflakes falling from one side of the sky, while fire rained down from the other. Even the air on the side of the fire rain was distorted by the intense heat. It was as if a final lament was being played.
