CHAPTER 113: CHAPTER 112: WORLD SHATTERED, SOUL CONTINENT
For a long time before, Heaven Transport Vehicles didn’t require an escort.
But half a month ago, Spiritual Ability Users from the Lower City District, whose origins were unknown, intercepted a batch of Heaven Transport Vehicles, releasing tens of thousands of captured Cave People, causing enormous chaos.
Since then, escorts have been dispatched daily for protection, and today, an especially large number of guards were deployed, a full eight hundred in total.
The vehicles slowly left the cave entrance, heading all the way towards the spiral tower of the Heaven Computation Center.
As they were about to reach the Heaven Computation Center, several mechanical soldiers intercepted the vehicles outside the Spiral Tower.
"Get out for an inspection."
The monotonous mechanical voice sounded, yet only a scattered hundred Spiritual Ability Users got off from the convoy, leaving seven hundred fully armed Spiritual Ability Users still in the vehicles, all of them marked with Heavenly Dao Codes.
The cameras of the mechanical soldiers scanned the vehicles but failed to detect the numerous Spiritual Ability Users within.
After a brief flicker from the cameras, the heavy gates leading into the Spiral Tower began to open slowly.
The vehicles drove towards the interior of the Spiral Tower, but as they passed the gate, a sudden urgent alarm sounded.
"Illegal entry! Illegal entry!"
Bewis glanced at the gate, then cursed loudly, "Damn it! How come the Spiral Tower still has a biological monitoring system not connected to the intelligent brain?"
As long as it’s not connected to the intelligent brain, it wouldn’t be controlled by the Soul Computer, rendering the bug nature of the Heavenly Dao Code on them ineffective.
Amidst the alarm, the gate began to close, freezing the actions of numerous mechanical soldiers, who then pointed their guns at the vehicles, while the turrets above the gate started to activate.
But before they could open fire, several rocket shells precisely hit the stationed turrets and mechanical soldiers.
"To hell with it, charge in!"
Fully armed Spiritual Ability Users jumped off the transport vehicles, striding into the Spiral Tower gates. Simultaneously, the transported individuals broke their restraints—all of them, thousands, were Spiritual Ability Users.
The overwhelming assault team surged towards the Spiral Tower, rushing in just before the gate closed.
Meanwhile, three thousand mechanical soldiers stationed outside the cave seemed to receive orders, speeding towards the Heaven Computation Center.
Huge Sky Battleships ascended into the sky, flying towards the Heaven Computation Center.
In several city defense bases of City No.14, multiple missile silos had already opened.
Within the Upper City, loud explosions erupted from multiple Floating Islands, and the long-planned slaughter exploded at this moment.
Inside the Spiral Tower, Lu Yan blended into the crowd, coldly observing everything around him.
In this plan, entering the Spiral Tower was already considered halfway success; this was the most critical area in the entire City No.14, and large-scale weapons of mass destruction controlled by the Intelligent God couldn’t be used on the Spiral Tower.
Though there was defensive power within the Spiral Tower, it wasn’t very effective against the presence of tens of thousands of Spiritual Ability Users.
Fully armed Upper City Spiritual Ability Users charged on the frontlines, mastering the defensive schematics of the Spiral Tower, and each Spiritual Energy Rocket Shell in their hands could lock on and destroy machine gun turrets hidden in the dark.
More ordinary Spiritual Ability Users from the Lower City District engaged in close combat with the mechanical soldiers. Even though they were killing machines combining technology with spiritual energy, they ultimately couldn’t resist Spiritual Ability Users several times their number, being forcibly dismantled by the enraged Spiritual Ability Users from the Lower City.
"The control center of the Spiral Tower is on the eighteenth floor!"
Bewis shouted loudly, and everyone rushed towards the eighteenth floor.
But at this moment, several strong oppressive forces suddenly appeared from the upper floors—seven Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users in total.
Their bodies had undergone complete spiritual transformation, retaining only the brain in the head, with massive amounts of spiritual energy surging down like tidal waves.
"You all must die!"
A hoarse roar was emitted from the mouths of the seven Spiritual Ability Users, and metallic claws directly aimed at Bewis, intending to kill this commander on the spot.
At the crucial moment, a giant hand blocked the metallic claws, and a towering giant over ten meters high appeared within the Spiral Tower—it was the Giant Spirit Main Soul.
With a firm punch, it pierced through the alloy-constructed floor, embedding the Spiritual Ability User into the shattered floor, sparks bursting all over their body.
"Everyone, provide covering fire!"
Bewis immediately commanded loudly, and Upper City elite Spiritual Ability Users promptly switched firearms, high-energy sniper rifles aimed at the Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users.
Meanwhile, eyes suddenly opened within the hibernation pods on various floors of the Spiral Tower.
These people were recently captured Spiritual Ability Users from the Lower City District. Their souls had already been inscribed by Lu Yan with the Heavenly Dao Code, allowing them to remain conscious without soul reception, infiltrating the Spiral Tower just to wait for this moment.
The numerous hibernation pods shattered, and thousands of Spiritual Ability Users engaged in wanton destruction of the Spiral Tower’s internal systems.
To maximize space, these floors housing the hibernation pods had no defensive systems. Even if there was only one Spiritual Ability User on each floor, they could easily disrupt the soul transmission of the hibernation pods.
In the Soul World, a multitude of souls went offline after a flicker.
Ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million... The souls disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally inciting the wrath of the Intelligent God.
Above the sky, the Eye of the Great Sun slowly closed.
At the same time, in the Heaven Computation Center of City No.14, an illusory thunderous roar erupted as if the heavens unleashed their fury, and the immense pressure caused everyone’s souls to tremble as if compelled to worship instinctively.
Even the Giant Spirit Main Soul was affected, its massive body forcibly reduced by more than half. The Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability User, who was being pummeled by the Giant Spirit Main Soul, burst into maniacal laughter.
"He’s angry!"
"You’re finished!"
"You will witness the wrath of the gods!"
"Oh? Is that so?" a nonchalant voice suddenly echoed in the building.
Lu Yan no longer concealed the Soul Banner, and the swirling ghostly mist instantly enveloped him.
"It’s time to begin!"
As the words fell, Blood Mustache’s main soul in the Soul World revealed a crazed smile.
Around him, a vast amount of Heavenly Dao Code carved out a gigantic circle inside the Soul World, using the World Barrier as a boundary.
Half of the circle landed on the World Barrier, dividing it, while the other half extended from the edge of the ground world inward, forming a massive semicircle that stretched over eight hundred kilometers.
Even considering the enormous size of the Soul World, this area exceeded one percent of the entire world.
And on this gigantic circle, only a small section remained unclosed.
Lu Yan controlled Blood Mustache to fill in the last section of the Heavenly Dao Code.
The next moment, the entire Soul World began to tremble, and a clear fissure along the Heavenly Dao Circle tore the Soul World apart, as if someone had forcibly bitten off a chunk from the world that was about to be completed.
Endless darkness poured in from the opening, causing turmoil in the whole Soul World.
In the real world, the just-arrived Intelligent God left hastily without any action, and the overwhelming pressure dissipated instantly.
Inside the Soul World, the Eye of the Great Sun, filled with boundless fury, opened again, and the endless darkness rushing towards the Soul World was banished in an instant.
The land was cracking, the mountains were shaking, and the ground was veined with cracks, with scalding red lava flowing through the fissures and transforming collapsing peaks into roaring volcanoes, seemingly declaring the Creator God’s wrath.
The entire world seemed about to perish under the wrath of the Intelligent God, as everything appeared like an apocalyptic scene.
However, none of the world-annihilating flames impacted the already segregated Heavenly Dao Circle, as the Intelligent God’s rules were blocked by the Heavenly Dao Code and could not affect the interior area of the Heavenly Dao Circle in the slightest.
Flashes of light, a crimson-golden thundercloud brewed within the Great Sun, and the aura of destruction tore the sky, aiming to annihilate that region completely.
Meanwhile, endless darkness expanded towards the rule-less Heavenly Dao Circle area, as if destruction was imminent.
Just then, Blood Mustache’s main soul let out a furious roar, tendrils connecting to eight hundred malevolent spirits, and the Talent Skill Soul Fusion Technique was activated.
In an instant, a towering ghostly entity, several tens of meters high, manifested within the Heavenly Dao Circle. It was like a giant holding up the heavens, plunging its arms into the ground and firmly grasping the entire Heavenly Dao Circle region.
The next moment, a ethereal voice transcended realms, arriving at Blood Mustache’s main soul’s ear.
"Withdraw!"
As the decree fell, Blood Mustache’s main soul seemed inspired to escape this dark void.
And with Blood Mustache’s main soul, the Heavenly Dao Circle region enveloping an area of eight hundred miles also escaped.
In the real world, just after the Intelligent God had left and before anyone could catch their breath, an indescribable sense of oppression suddenly descended.
Even though there wasn’t any visible change, it felt as if the sky was collapsing, with a colossal continent plummeting towards reality.
At that moment, inside a series of hibernation pods, a multitude of Soul Division Banners overcame spatial barriers and swiftly returned to the Soul Banner’s form, causing Lu Yan’s Soul Banner to grow visibly larger at a rapid pace.
Lu Yan raised the Soul Banner high, guiding Blood Mustache’s return, and in a vision beyond ordinary sight, Lu Yan witnessed the vast continent detached from the Soul World, now directed by Blood Mustache’s main soul, crashing straight into the Soul Banner.
Although not a physically existing continent, the soul-level pressure affected everyone.
If this soul continent were a real world, Lu Yan would never dare to do something so reckless.
But do not forget that this soul continent was stripped from the Soul World, where all creations are composed of soul computation power.
This means the soul continent is a Soul Creation!
It can be refined by the Soul Banner!
