Soul Spirits Belong to the Tower, Lives Belong to You

After receiving Lin Chen's instructions, Bear Lord and the Myriad Demon King immediately flew toward Moon-Slaying City.

As for Lin Chen, he handed control of his body back to Di Tian.

Next, it was Di Tian's turn to perform. Lin Chen only needed to command and watch the show.

Lin Chen actually could not understand why Di Tian, despite possessing such strength, had remained holed up in the Star Dou Great Forest, allowing humans to slaughter them at will.

Other than Shrek Academy, the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda, and the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, which he could not enter, his spatial abilities allowed him to come and go freely anywhere else.

Just like last time, when he had silently thrown him into the core of Eastsea City's Spirit Pagoda—it had been ridiculously easy.

If Di Tian truly wanted to, he could completely reduce humanity to nothing but Super Douluos, just like Dugu Bo had done.

Sure enough, it was the Silver Dragon King's world-shaking wisdom that had made Di Tian endure all this, enduring until humanity had nearly driven the soul beasts to extinction.

However, Lin Chen was in no position to judge this matter too much, because he was a beneficiary.

He was human, after all. The more foolish the soul beasts were, the more beneficial it was to him and the easier they were to control.

"Just like last time, we'll head straight to the core area of New Heaven Dou City's Spirit Pagoda and openly plunder it.

"The Soul Spirit areas are directly connected to headquarters, so any anomaly will immediately be reported to every Spirit Pagoda and the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda.

"There's no need to hide, because we can't conceal it anyway. We'll just use the core area to lay the bait."

"Fine."

Di Tian, Lin Chen, and Scarlet King waited for more than three hours. Only after Bear Lord and the Myriad Demon King arrived at Moon-Slaying City did Lin Chen decisively order them to begin.

Upon hearing this, Di Tian snapped his fingers. The next instant, his body appeared above a Spirit Pagoda not far from here.

Then, through his senses, he immediately locked onto the area with the greatest concentration of energy within the Spirit Pagoda. That was where countless Soul Spirits were stored.

With a thought from Di Tian, he broke through countless layers of security and arrived in the core area of the Spirit Pagoda.

Seeing the countless Soul Spirits stored before him, a flash of anger immediately appeared in Di Tian's eyes.

These Soul Spirits had all been made from the lives of soul beasts. Every Soul Spirit represented a soul beast.

Back then, Huo Yuhao had deceived him, claiming that Soul Spirit research was for the peaceful coexistence of humans and soul beasts.

Yet Soul Spirits were designed to be more powerful than soul rings.

Once someone possessed a Soul Spirit, countless others would want one as well. They no longer existed to make up for the shortcomings of soul rings, but had become something every Soul Master had to obtain.

Without one, they would inevitably fall far behind others.

This was also the root cause of the soul beasts' extinction. Every Spirit Pagoda had been built upon the corpses of countless soul beasts.

The Soul Spirits stored in this Spirit Pagoda numbered in the tens of thousands.

Di Tian turned his hand into a claw. The Black Dragon Claw radiated a terrifying aura as it directly shattered one metal chamber after another that stored Soul Spirits, releasing all of them.

Naturally, he had no intention of collecting them himself.

The instant Di Tian made his move, countless red alarms immediately sounded:

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Every floor of the Spirit Pagoda lit up brightly.

Luo Yan, the Pagoda Master responsible for this Spirit Pagoda, an eight-ring Soul Douluo and two-word Battle Armor Master, instantly unleashed his martial soul. His battle armor covered his body, and his aura immediately soared to the level of a Titled Douluo as he charged straight toward the core area.

Around him, countless Spirit Pagoda Masters unleashed their martial souls and Soul Spirits. Those with battle armor equipped it as well, following behind Luo Yan as they took the specially made Soul Tool elevator straight down to the core level.

At this moment, Luo Yan's emotions were extremely complicated as he repeatedly stared at the surveillance footage on the Soul Tool screen.

There were only two people who had suddenly appeared in the core area and shattered the Soul Spirit storage chambers. They looked utterly ordinary, yet he could sense an incomparably terrifying pressure from them.

As the elevator rapidly descended, he connected to headquarters.

"Pagoda Master Luo, the Spirit Pagoda under your charge is currently being invaded. The Soul Spirits cannot be lost. Please deal with the intruders swiftly!"

"I am on my way to deal with them and expect to reach the battlefield in one minute, but I request support from headquarters.

"Anyone capable of silently infiltrating the core area and breaking through the core barrier is certainly no ordinary opponent. I am not completely confident I can take them down."

Because he possessed battle armor and was an eight-ring powerhouse himself, Luo Yan had never considered the possibility that he would lose. He was merely worried that he might not be able to capture the two intruders.

To prevent any accidents, he decisively requested support.

"Please rest assured, Pagoda Master Luo. Headquarters has already taken full control of all surveillance feeds from New Heaven Dou City's Spirit Pagoda and will continue monitoring the situation.

"Your request for support is entirely reasonable. Headquarters has already begun searching for powerhouses near the Heaven Dou Continent.

"We have matched you with the two closest powerhouses to the Heaven Dou Continent, currently in Eastsea City—Deputy Pagoda Master Leng Yaozhu and Illusory Brain Douluo Han Tianyi.

"Information from the Spirit Pagoda has already been synchronized to Leng Yaozhu and Han Tianyi. They will decide whether to provide reinforcements based on the intruders' strength."

"The Deputy Pagoda Master and Illusory Brain Douluo are in Eastsea City?" A look of surprise appeared on Luo Yan's face.

He had not expected that the closest people to him would actually be two great figures from headquarters.

Then what the hell was there to panic about? Just fight!

With the speed of their four-word battle armor, it would take them only an hour to fly here from Eastsea City.

He refused to believe he could not hold out for even one hour...

One minute later,

"Spare me! Spare me!" Luo Yan, battered and bruised, knelt before Di Tian and begged pitifully.

Just moments ago, after leading the strongest Spirit Pagoda Masters in the pagoda down from the elevator into the core area, he had immediately charged at Di Tian and Scarlet King.

Di Tian had not even raised an eyelid, merely releasing Dragon God Claw again and again.

Faced with a group of humans whose strongest cultivation was only at the Soul Douluo level, Di Tian simply could not muster the slightest desire to fight.

Even if that Soul Douluo wore battle armor, it was merely two-word battle armor. He could destroy him with a casual wave of his hand.

However, Lin Chen had said that they had not come to the Spirit Pagoda this time to vent their anger, but to plunder.

"Do you want to live?" Di Tian asked coldly.

"Please spare me, Senior!"

"Heh, how cowardly. I disdain killing ants like you.

"Now take your subordinates and pack all these Soul Spirits into storage Soul Tools for me. Miss even one, and I'll kill one of you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yan finally confirmed that the two before him had come to steal Soul Spirits.

They did not yet know what they were about to face. So what if they were powerful?

Once Deputy Pagoda Master Leng Yaozhu and Illusory Brain Douluo Han Tianyi arrived, it would be their doom.

All he needed to do now was stall them.

Pack up the Soul Spirits? There were tens of thousands of Soul Spirits here. There was no way they could finish packing them in a short time. He had to delay for time.

"Yes, yes, I'll pack the Soul Spirits for you right away!" Luo Yan then looked at the trembling Spirit Pagoda Masters behind him. "What are you standing around for? Get to work already!

"The Soul Spirits belong to the tower, but your lives belong to you. Don't be stupid!"

After roaring those words, Pagoda Master Luo took the lead in getting to work, incredibly proactive.
