The night was dark, but the candlelight in Bai Yun's room was still flickering. He put down the book in his hand, rubbed his sore eyes, and kept thinking about the results of today's practice.

"Huh..." He let out a long breath, stood up, opened the door, and walked into the yard. The bright moonlight sprinkled all over the ground, and the yard was quiet, with only a few insects chirping occasionally.

Bai Yun looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that tomorrow morning, he would leave home and head to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his fourth spirit ring.

Unconsciously, Bai Yun has reached level 40. He recalled his experiences during this period and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. Because of the special nature of the dog head martial spirit at level 30, he didn't need to obtain spirit rings and could directly use the dog head's own skills! Later, after breaking the shackles of level , he had to start obtaining spirit rings again.

Although he had made up his mind, he was still filled with anxiety and worry at the thought of leaving his mother and facing unknown dangers alone.

"Yun'er, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?" A gentle voice came from behind.

Baiyun turned around and saw his mother standing at the door with a kind smile on her face.

"Mom, I can't sleep, so I went out for a walk." Bai Yun forced a smile.

"Are you worried about going to the Star Forest tomorrow?" His mother walked over to him and gently stroked his hair.

Bai Yun was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

The mother sighed, hugged him in her arms, and said softly: "Xiaoyun, I know you have grown up and have your own ideas. I don't want to stop you. After all, becoming a powerful soul master has been your dream since you were a child."

“But the Star Dou Forest is too dangerous, Mom really…” When the mother said this, her voice was choked with sobs.

"Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of myself." Bai Yun hugged his mother and said firmly, "I will come back to see you when I get the fourth spirit ring."

His mother let him go and looked at his face carefully, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance in her heart.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." The mother held back her tears and said with a smile, "Go to bed early, we have to travel tomorrow."

"Yeah." Bai Yun nodded, turned around and walked back to the room.

The next morning, before daybreak, Baiyun had already packed his luggage and was ready to set off.

"Yun'er, be careful on the road and be sure to pay attention to safety." The mother handed him a package, her eyes full of worry and reluctance.

"Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of myself." Bai Yun took the package and nodded vigorously.

"Go early and come back early." The mother held back her tears and watched him leave.

Baiyun walked out of the house and looked back, seeing his mother still standing at the door, her eyes full of expectation and worry.

He took a deep breath, turned around, and strode towards the Star Forest.

The rising sun cast its golden light, illuminating Bai Yun's path and also illuminating the dream in his heart.

He knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but he was fearless because his heart was full of hope and strength.

Star Forest, here he comes!

"Doghead, how far are we from the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest now?" Bai Yun asked Doghead in his mind while carefully observing his surroundings.

"Master, we are currently about five hundred miles away from the core area. We'd better be careful on this journey and try to avoid those powerful soul beasts." The voice of Dog Head sounded in Bai Yun's mind.

Bai Yun took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart, lightened his steps, and continued walking towards the depths of the forest.

The towering trees blocked out the sun, and the sunlight shone through the layers of branches and leaves, creating mottled shadows on the ground. The air was filled with moist water vapor and the scent of various plants, and occasionally a few roars of soul beasts could be heard, making this forest seem even more mysterious.

Bai Yun relied on the guidance of the dog head and chose to walk on some remote paths, trying to avoid powerful soul beasts. He knew the dangers of the Xingdou Great Forest, which was a paradise for soul beasts, and he could lose his life if he was not careful.

"Master, there is a pond five hundred meters ahead. There lives a group of soul-eating ants there. Do you think it's okay?" Doghead's voice sounded in Baiyun's mind.

"Soul-eating ants?" Bai Yun frowned slightly. "I have heard of this kind of soul beast. It is a social soul beast. It is very aggressive and contains a deadly poison in its body. It is very difficult to deal with."

"Yes, master, but the strength of this group of soul-eating ants is not too strong. Most of them are at the hundred-year and thousand-year level. With our current strength, we can completely deal with them." Dog Head explained.

"A thousand-year soul beast? Isn't it too weak?" Bai Yun frowned. His current target is a queen-type soul beast. A mere thousand-year soul beast is not even worth his attention.

"Master, don't be anxious, just listen to me." Dog Head said quickly, "The leader of this group of soul-eating ants, the Soul-Eating Queen Ant, is an existence that is nearly ten thousand years old, and..." Dog Head paused deliberately to whet Bai Yun's appetite.

"And what? Don't keep me in suspense!" Bai Yun was a little anxious.

"Moreover, according to my investigation, this Soul-Eating Ant Queen seems to be giving birth to a new queen. If we are lucky, we might be able to encounter a newborn Soul-Eating Ant Queen cub!" Dog Head said quickly.

"What?! You mean, it's possible to encounter a new queen ant bred by the Soul-Eating Ant Queen?!" Bai Yun suddenly became excited. If he could really get a new Soul-Eating Ant Queen's cub, his future achievements would be limitless!

Bai Yun suppressed his inner excitement and said in a low voice: "Let's go and take a look!" The man and the dog moved silently towards the direction of the pond.

Bai Yun hid his body in the dense grass, his eyes fixed on the pool of water not far ahead.

A huge black ant was lying by the pond, its abdomen bulging high, obviously in the critical period of fertilizing its offspring. Around it, hundreds of smaller soul-eating ants were patrolling vigilantly, protecting their queen.

"Master, the one you see clustered in the center, the largest one, and emitting a light golden glow is the Soul-Eating Ant Queen. Those that are smaller and pitch black are its guards." The voice of the dog head sounded in Baiyun's mind.

Bai Yun nodded slightly, and his eyes scanned the dense bushes and towering trees around him, trying to find the newborn Soul-Eating Ant Queen cub that Doghead had mentioned. The light around him flickered as the breeze blew the leaves, and a few unknown bird calls came, making the surrounding environment even more eerie and strange.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Several sounds of breaking through the air tore through the silence around, and several dark shadows suddenly jumped out from the surrounding grass, their target was the unsuspecting Soul-Eating Ant Queen!

The smaller soul-eating ant guards pounced on the invaders desperately, biting their enemies fiercely with their sharp mouthparts. Green blood splattered and dyed the surrounding grass red.

Although the Soul-Eating Ant Guards were fearless, the gap in strength was too great. The men in black were agile and fierce, and every swing of the cold and shining blades in their hands would take the lives of several Soul-Eating Ants. Green blood sprayed on the grass leaves, and a fishy smell filled the air.

A slightly larger Soul-Eating Ant Guard, waving its sharp mouthparts, pounced on one of the men in black. The man in black snorted disdainfully, and stabbed out the sharp blade in his hand like lightning, accurately piercing the head of the Soul-Eating Ant Guard.

In less than an incense stick of time, hundreds of Soul-Eating Ant guards were slaughtered, leaving only the huge Soul-Eating Ant Queen, lying there alone, looking particularly desolate.

It seemed to sense the coming of danger, and desperately twisted its bloated body, trying to escape from here. However, its speed seemed extremely slow in front of those men in black.

Several men in black quickly surrounded her, holding their sharp blades high, ready to cut the Soul-Eating Ant Queen into pieces.

"Stop!" Bai Yun was extremely fast and arrived in front of the Soul-Eating Ant Queen in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph!" Bai Yun snorted coldly. His figure flashed and he instantly stood in front of the Soul-Eating Ant Queen. He waved the sword in his hand and forced back the black shadows.

"Who are you? How dare you ruin our good thing!" one of the black shadows shouted angrily.

Bai Yun looked carefully and saw that the black shadows were actually five men in black clothes and black masks.

"Who are you? Why do you want to attack this soul-eating ant queen?" Bai Yun asked coldly.

"Hmph! Boy, who are you? How dare you meddle in our business!" One of the men in black snorted coldly.

"My name is Baiyun, and I want this soul-eating queen ant!" Baiyun said in a domineering tone.

"Arrogant!"

The men in black were furious upon hearing this and released their martial spirits to attack Bai Yun.

Seeing this, Bai Yun did not dare to be careless and quickly released his martial soul - the Desert Death God, to fight against the men in black.

The Desert Reaper is a powerful beast martial spirit, especially possessing tens of millions of layers of soul pain, and its attack power is extremely strong.

This is definitely invincible in close combat. Even if a Titled Douluo comes over, as long as he dares to fight Bai Yun in close combat, he will be dead.

Bai Yun just waved his hand and immediately summoned the dog-headed weapon, the sickle, ready to fight!

Bai Yun sneered, and swung the sickle in his hand violently. An invisible wave spread out instantly. "Skill E, Soul Flame!"

The burning soul energy turned into a blazing flame, instantly enveloping the five men in black. The men in black groaned, obviously underestimating the power of this invisible attack, and habitually mobilized their soul power to form a protective shield on their bodies. However, this soul flame was a terrifying attack that directly burned the soul, ignoring any physical defense!

"what!"

One of the men in black screamed, holding his head and falling to the ground in agony. His soul felt as if it was being burned in the flames and he was in unbearable pain.

Without any pause, Bai Yun turned the sickle in his hand and pointed it at another man in black who had reached the level of Soul Saint. "Skill W, Wither!"

I saw a withered yellow color suddenly appear under the feet of the Soul Saint, as if swept by autumn frost. The land beneath his feet quickly lost its vitality, and his own speed also dropped sharply, as if he was stuck in a quagmire.

"Opportunity!" Bai Yun's eyes flashed, and his figure turned into a shadow and instantly appeared in front of the Soul Saint.

"go to hell!"

Bai Yun let out a low roar and raised the sickle in his hand high. A heart-pounding dark green light flashed on the sickle blade. It was the result of countless layers of soul-stirring blows!

"More than 30 million layers of soul attack, explode!"

The sickle fell without any earth-shattering sound, only a flash of faint light.

The Soul Saint didn't even have time to react before he was split in half by this horrifying blow. His soul was instantly torn apart and completely dissipated!

"hiss……"

Upon seeing this, the remaining three men in black gasped, their eyes filled with horror!

Killing the Soul Saint in one strike! Who on earth is this Bai Yun? !

The remaining four men in black were terrified. They had never seen such a terrifying attack that could kill a Soul Saint in one strike! Fear spread in their hearts like a plague. One of them couldn't help but exclaimed, "Run! Run!"

However, how could Bai Yun let them escape so easily? His figure flickered like a ghost, and the sickle in his hand kept swinging, taking a life with every swing.

"what!"

"Do not kill me!"

"Spare my life!"

The three men in black fled desperately, but their speed was as slow as a turtle in front of Bai Yun, and they could not escape the fate of death.

"die!"

A cold light flashed in Bai Yun's eyes, and he swung the sickle in his hand suddenly.

The three people who escaped the fastest died instantly, and after their deaths, four strange balls of soul fragments instantly entered Baiyun's body.

"Ding! Soul-sucking Strike permanently increases damage by 3 points!"

"Ding! Soul-sucking Strike permanently increases damage by 3 points!"

"Ding! Soul-sucking Strike permanently increases damage by 3 points!"

"Holy Son! It's really you!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the last remaining man in black, full of disbelief and fanaticism.

Bai Yun frowned slightly, turned to look at the man in black, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. "What are you talking about? What Holy Son?"

The man in black pointed at Bai Yun and trembled, his voice trembling with excitement, "You... you just killed them and devoured their souls. Isn't this the secret method of our Holy Church?"

Bai Yun's heart moved. He recalled the scene when he used Soul Blast to absorb the soul fragments of the four Soul Saints. Was he mistaken for the Son of God? Could this be the so-called "Secret Method of the Holy Religion"?

"What holy religion are you from?" Bai Yun asked in a deep voice, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The man in black took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said slowly: "We are... We are followers of the Holy Spirit Church. We came here to help you, the Holy Son, to hunt for spirit rings. Unexpectedly..."

He didn't say anything else. He had reacted at this point and probably realized that he had recognized the wrong person!

But Bai Yun already understood what he meant. They mistook him for the "Son of God" of the Holy Spirit Church.

It is very likely that they are just low- or middle-level personnel of the Holy Spirit Church and have never seen the real Son of God. They have only heard that the Son of God needs a spirit ring, so they plan to take the bloodthirsty Queen Ant back and present it to their Son of God!

Bai Yun's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he thought to himself: "Holy Spirit Religion? It seems that the waters of Douluo Continent are deeper than I thought!"

He walked up to the man in black and looked down at him condescendingly. An invisible pressure emanated from him, making it difficult for the man in black to breathe.

"What's your name?" Bai Yun asked coldly.

"My name is Li San." The man in black answered tremblingly.

"Li San, I'm giving you a chance to live now. Submit to me and become my servant." Bai Yun's tone was indifferent, but with unquestionable majesty.

Hearing this, Li San's body trembled violently, and a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes. Although he was only a low-level member of the Holy Spirit Church, he also knew the consequences of betraying the Holy Spirit Church, which was more terrible than death!

"What? You don't want to?" A cold light flashed in Bai Yun's eyes, and a fierce murderous aura instantly locked onto Li San.

"No...no...I do! I am willing to submit to you!" Li San felt the fatal threat and quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Bai Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Very good, from now on, you are mine." Bai Yun said calmly, "Now, tell me everything you know about the Holy Spirit Church."

Li San did not dare to neglect and immediately told everything he knew about the Holy Spirit Church.

After listening to Li San's story, Bai Yun fell into deep thought.

It turns out that the Holy Spirit Church is an extremely mysterious cult organization that believes in evil gods and devours human souls to enhance its strength. The Holy Spirit Church's son has extremely powerful talents and strength, and is known as the incarnation of the evil god!

"It seems that if you want to survive in this world, you must have strong strength!" Bai Yun's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "And the Holy Spirit Church may be a good stepping stone!"

Thinking of this, Bai Yun already had a plan in mind.

He knocked Li San unconscious and sent him into the Baiyun Realm.

He wanted to convert Li San into his believer and make him his pawn in the Holy Spirit Church!

"Holy Spirit Church, here I come!"
