"Yi Yi, hurry and bring it into the Time and Space Divine Tower!" Hearing that sound, Jing Chen realized something and quickly shouted.

The Golden Tortoise could be considered a Super Soul Beast, but each had its own specialty. They excelled at defense, but their offensive power was lacking.

Whenever they encountered danger, they would hide away and rely on their defenses to make their opponents back down.

Or they would directly call for help and have other soul beasts come to assist them.

The strange sound the Golden Tortoise was making now was likely a distress signal.

Jing Chen did not want the Golden Tortoise to draw a large number of soul beasts over. That would definitely not be a good thing for him and Yi Yi.

To bring a living creature into the Time and Space Divine Tower, not only did he need to agree, but the other party had to agree as well.

It was also possible to force them inside, but that required Jing Chen to possess the strength to completely suppress them.

Naturally, he could not suppress a Golden Tortoise whose combat power far exceeded his own, but Yi Yi could.

As long as he had Yi Yi hold the Golden Tortoise tightly, then sent Yi Yi into the Time and Space Divine Tower, the Golden Tortoise would be brought in as well.

Yi Yi instantly understood Jing Chen's intentions. With a powerful forward pounce, it arrived directly behind the Golden Tortoise and swung out its tiger paw.

The instant they made contact, an energy shockwave rippled outward. The surrounding trees swayed, and their leaves rustled.

From that commotion alone, it was clear that Yi Yi had put considerable force into that strike, enough to shatter a boulder weighing tens of thousands of jin.

The Golden Tortoise, which weighed over ten thousand jin, was sent flying diagonally upward, yet the spot where it had been struck was completely unharmed.

After knocking the Golden Tortoise away, Yi Yi lowered its body slightly before leaping up with force, moving even faster than the Golden Tortoise was flying.

It quickly overtook the Golden Tortoise in midair, then pressed its tiger claws against the shell and forced it rapidly downward.

Yi Yi's tiger claws gripped the edges of the shell, its sharp talons digging in tightly.

Jing Chen's Time and Space Divine Tower appeared along the path of Yi Yi and the Golden Tortoise's descent. Black light flickered, and when Yi Yi and the Golden Tortoise drew close, it took them inside.

The entire process was fairly easy and smooth, without any resistance from the Golden Tortoise.

Mainly because the Golden Tortoise had never expected Jing Chen to possess such a method and had not been on guard. Coupled with Yi Yi's strength, it had been caught so easily.

After taking Yi Yi and the Golden Tortoise inside, Jing Chen carried the Time and Space Divine Tower and quickly ran to a tree before entering it himself.

After he entered, the Time and Space Divine Tower shrank to the size of a grain of sand and, under his control, descended into the soil beside the tree.

"ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!" Not long after they entered, domineering and furious roars echoed out.

Soon, four powerful Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts appeared in the area, looking around in search of the Golden Tortoise.

These were the soul beasts that had come to its aid after receiving the Golden Tortoise's distress signal.

Each soul beast had cultivation exceeding fifty thousand years and was extremely powerful. One of them could even contend with a Title Douluo.

"ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! (Why did the Golden Tortoise's aura suddenly disappear?)" The four soul beasts were all bewildered.

Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had developed intelligence, while fifty-thousand-year soul beasts had even greater intelligence and possessed a certain ability to think.

Just as they were doing now, these soul beasts were wondering where exactly the Golden Tortoise had gone.

If there had been signs of a fierce battle here, they might not have been able to remain so calm, but there were none.

That allowed them to think calmly, and in the end, they all reached the same conclusion: the Golden Tortoise might have tricked them.

If it truly needed help, it should have been in grave danger. How could this place possibly look like this?

The four Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts left while grumbling and cursing, also telling the soul beasts arriving later as reinforcements to leave. There was no need for them to come.

Inside the Time and Space Divine Tower, Jing Chen could see what was happening outside. Seeing those soul beasts leave, he also let out a sigh of relief.

Yi Yi could certainly handle those soul beasts, but the problem was that the battle would cause too much commotion and might attract ferocious beasts.

During this period, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts would surely be closely watching for the aura of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

If they discovered it, they would definitely act. Then he and Yi Yi would be in danger.

Jing Chen withdrew his gaze and looked toward the Golden Tortoise in the distance, which Yi Yi had firmly pinned down.

The Golden Tortoise sensed that something was wrong with its surroundings and cautiously poked its head out, wanting to figure out what was going on.

"Where is this?" the Golden Tortoise cried out. The unfamiliar environment made it deeply uneasy.

It happened to meet Jing Chen's eyes. The latter smiled faintly at it, and within that smile, the Golden Tortoise saw nothing but malice.

"Human, what is this place?" the Golden Tortoise demanded fiercely.

When facing Jing Chen, a human, it was not the least bit afraid. It even wanted to go over and eat him.

Not only did it have that thought, it wanted to put it into action. But when it tried to move its body, it found that it could not move at all.

Only then did it react, hurriedly pulling its head back into its shell. Its four limbs, which had been halfway extended, also retracted as if shocked by electricity.

"You and I are both soul beasts. Why are you helping a human deal with me, a beast of auspiciousness?"

"Don't you know that my existence brings many benefits to the forest?" The Golden Tortoise's voice came from within its shell.

It was indignant, feeling that this Black Tiger was a disgrace to soul beasts for actually helping a human deal with it. It was hateful and detestable.

"Yiyi! (I don't care what benefits you can bring. Just obediently let me devour you.)" Yi Yi forcefully slapped the brilliant golden shell.

Its tail had already begun to move, stabbing toward the Golden Tortoise's head. A cold, sinister gleam flickered from the sharp Evil God Hook.

The Evil God Hook could be regarded as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's special weapon. It was incredibly sharp and also possessed a powerful ability to absorb energy.

It generally used the Evil God Hook when devouring energy, as that made the devouring more effective.

The instant the Evil God Hook drew near, the Golden Tortoise let out a pig-slaughtering shriek. It was terrified.

The moment the tough skin around its head was pierced by the Evil God Hook, its cries became even louder and were filled with fear.

The moment that thing pierced into its body, it began absorbing the energy within it, and it had no way to stop it.

The Golden Tortoise struggled violently, unleashing all the energy within its body in an attempt to escape its predicament.

Its struggles were useless. Yi Yi's strength far surpassed its own, and Yi Yi held the initiative. How could it possibly allow it to break free?

Yi Yi used all its strength to pin down the Golden Tortoise, making it completely unable to move and leaving it with nothing to do but slowly await death.

Jing Chen watched quietly from afar, a thoughtful look appearing on his face. It was at the Hundred Thousand Year level, yet its body was only around the size of a thirty-thousand-year soul beast.

Could this Golden Tortoise be the one that bit off a huge piece of Life Gold? Jing Chen had this suspicion.

Not long after, his guess was confirmed, because immense life force erupted from within the Golden Tortoise's body.

Most of its energy had already been drained by Yi Yi, yet it could still possess such powerful life energy. There was clearly something unusual about it.
