An hour later, two streaks of light sped toward New Heaven Dou City from the distance. Ignoring both the city guards at the gates and the no-fly restriction over major cities, they flew straight toward the Spirit Pagoda at the city center.
They were so fast that the city guards did not even have time to react.
"Captain, I think two people just flew past."
"Mm, I saw them. And?"
"Why didn't you stop them?"
"Why didn't you stop them? You saw them too, didn't you?"
"I couldn't stop them!"
"You couldn't stop them, so I could?" The captain promptly smacked him on the head. "Tell me honestly, do you want to be captain? You want me to provoke two people who are at least Super Douluos?"
"S-Super Douluos?"
"Not just Super Douluos. At the very least, they're Super Douluos—probably Limit Douluos. Their speed was ridiculously fast. What are powerhouses of that level doing here?"
"The Spirit Pagoda must be in trouble. How rare—someone actually dared to go against the Spirit Pagoda."
"Too bad we have to stay at our posts. Don't even think about going to watch the show." The captain grumbled as he looked at the tallest tower in the city center. "Who knows whether that tower will still be standing after tonight."
With their four-word battle armor pushed beyond its limits, Leng Yaozhu and Han Tianyi took only fifty minutes to race from Eastsea City to this place at an extreme speed.
However, when the two arrived at the Spirit Pagoda and sensed that the intruder's aura had completely vanished, anger appeared on Leng Yaozhu's face.
Clad in fiery-red battle armor and radiating a terrifying aura, she strode straight through the crowd, intending to enter the Spirit Pagoda.
But when she saw the reporters gathered around and the teams conducting live broadcasts, with nowhere to vent her anger, red light flickered in her phoenix eyes as she coldly swept her gaze over them.
"Shut down all broadcasting Soul Tools immediately, before I decide to smash your equipment!"
Yet the reporters stubbornly continued working.
"Shocking! Following the Beast God Di Tian's invasion of the Spirit Pagoda in New Heaven Dou City, the vice tower master of the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda, Skyphoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, and senior Illusory Brain Douluo Han Tianyi have unexpectedly arrived at the New Heaven Dou City Spirit Pagoda together!
What heaven-defying secret could the Spirit Pagoda of New Heaven Dou City possibly hold to drive so many powerhouses mad? Douluo Federation General Radio will continue following this story. Please stay tuned..."
"Crack!"
Before the reporter could finish, Leng Yaozhu shattered every communication Soul Tool on the spot, and seized the reporter with her Soul Power.
"Your Federation radio station still loves saying 'shocking,' I see. How did you know that person was Di Tian?"
The Federation's reporters all had sharp eyes, and since she frequently appeared at various events, she was not surprised that this reporter had recognized her and Han Tianyi at a glance.
But the reporter had accurately identified the attacker as Di Tian. That was rather thought-provoking.
"Uh, esteemed Skyphoenix Your Excellency, please look at the big screen." As he spoke, the reporter pulled another set of equipment from his storage Soul Tool. He then skillfully connected it to his channel and quickly brought up the earlier footage.
All at once, a dark-clad middle-aged figure appeared on the screen. "I am the Beast God Di Tian. Spirit Pagoda, I ****!" (Possessed by Lin Chen)
"Esteemed Skyphoenix Your Excellency, would you like me to translate what the Beast God said based on his lip movements?"
"Do you want to die?" Leng Yaozhu's expression shifted unpredictably, because the Di Tian before her was completely different from the one she had known.
No matter how badly the Beast God Di Tian was provoked, he was still a cultured individual. How could he possibly spew profanity?
Yet she was certain that this was the Beast God. The Dragon God Claw and spatial power could not be faked.
"How long ago did he leave?"
"Not long ago, about twenty minutes. Then you two arrived right away. That was really fast."
"What about the others?"
"Di Tian threw them all into the sea to feed the fish. No one dared to rescue them."
What a joke. That was an existence even Shrek's quasigods feared. How could they dare provoke the Beast God?
Besides, what did the state of the Spirit Pagoda have to do with them? The royal family of Heaven Dou Continent probably thought the same way, which was why they did not dare utter a single word and simply let the Beast God Di Tian run wild.
Upon hearing this news, Leng Yaozhu was not particularly distressed over the members of the Qian Gu lineage, but Di Tian's actions still enraged her. "Soul beasts are soul beasts. They will always treat human lives as worthless."
She no longer held any hope for those Spirit Pagoda masters' lives. How could Di Tian have thrown living people into the sea? He must have crushed them to death first.
To Di Tian, killing those people was as easy as crushing a swarm of ants.
Leng Yaozhu and Illusory Brain Douluo quickly entered the Spirit Pagoda. Sure enough, it was completely empty.
But their most urgent task now was to determine Di Tian's true purpose. Had he merely come to retaliate against the Spirit Pagoda, or did he have some other objective? They needed to investigate everything thoroughly.
Before entering, Han Tianyi had already summoned his Brain martial soul.
Nine terrifying red soul rings appeared instantly. The pressure of the hundred-thousand-year soul rings was so immense that even some soul masters outside could barely breathe.
This was the might of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. As a Limit Douluo—and a spiritually aligned Limit Douluo at that—Han Tianyi's spiritual power was more than enough to support upgrading every one of his soul rings to the hundred-thousand-year level, giving him nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
After releasing his soul rings, one blood-red soul ring lit up, and intense light burst from Han Tianyi's body.
Like a scanner, he began scanning the entire Spirit Pagoda, especially its core area. "No abnormalities. No traps. No fixed-installation Soul Tool shells detected. Let's go in. The Beast God is nothing but a beast; he probably couldn't get his hands on fixed-installation Soul Tool shells anyway."
Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu relaxed and followed Han Tianyi toward the core area.
They could not be blamed for being so cautious. Soul Tool technology was becoming increasingly advanced, and remotely controlling the launch of fixed-installation Soul Tool shells had become quite simple. Even Limit Douluos could be threatened by fixed-installation Soul Tool shells capable of taking their lives.
After all, there was no upper limit to such things. As long as one had the resources and determination, even fixed-installation Soul Tool shells of more than a dozen levels could be made.
As Leng Yaozhu approached and saw the core area in ruins, her brows immediately furrowed.
The space was filled with Soul Power so dense that it was almost tangible. Every soul spirit in the soul spirit storage vault had been shattered. Storage spheres lay broken across the floor, while the soul spirits themselves had been scattered into Soul Power energy that permeated the air.
This Spirit Pagoda had suffered devastating losses.
"Did Di Tian really come only to vent his anger? Or is this merely a smokescreen to conceal something? Elder Han, calculate it. Check whether the number of these soul spirit spheres matches up. What exactly is Di Tian trying to do?"
"Alright, I'll immediately—"
"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!" Suddenly, countless red lights erupted throughout the core area, followed by the sound of a countdown!
