CHAPTER 114: CHAPTER 113 CONTAINING THE SOUL CONTINENT

Back when Lu Yan intended to separate the Soul World with the Heavenly Dao Code, he had already considered how large the area should be.

Given the scale of the Soul World, merely dividing an area of a few kilometers or dozens of kilometers would be insignificant to its vast size.

Such an area could be quickly repaired by millions of souls working together for a period, unable to shake the Soul World or hinder the Intelligent God.

This act would only incite the wrath of the Intelligent God. If it freed its hand, City No. 14 would face utter catastrophe.

After careful thought, Lu Yan decided to demarcate an area of eight hundred kilometers.

This distance is the limit for eight hundred vengeful spirits to draw the Heavenly Dao Circle; moreover, the area surpasses one percent of the Soul World. If such a vast region is stripped away, it would undoubtedly cause turbulence in the Soul World.

Furthermore, after the world’s barrier in this region disappears, endless darkness would invade the Soul World aggressively.

Under such pressure, it is possible to completely stall the God within the Soul World, stabilizing the world and preventing timely actions against City No. 14.

This was Lu Yan’s core objective, and now that the Intelligent God has abandoned returning to the Soul Continent, it signifies that Lu Yan’s plan has succeeded.

As for subsequently retrieving the vengeful spirits and dragging the whole Soul Continent into the Soul Banner, it is merely an additional attempt by Lu Yan after completing his mission.

However, once the Soul Continent and Soul Banner initially made contact, Lu Yan realized he had somewhat miscalculated.

The Soul Continent has no physical weight, yet upon contact with the Soul Banner, Lu Yan instinctively bent his body.

Even though his physical body felt no restraint, unparalleled terrifying pressure continuously resonated from his soul; holding the Soul Banner, Lu Yan seemed to bear an immeasurable expanse, with such immense pressure seemingly about to crush his soul.

But Lu Yan’s eyes didn’t show much worry; intrinsically speaking, the Soul Continent lacks any material characteristics, and with the Intelligent God expelled, no rules exist, leaving only the purest Soul Creation.

This Soul Creation without external interference is the target that the Soul Banner is most pleased to see.

The banner emblazoned with the Hundred Ghosts Hell began to transform, complex lines started to sketch the contour of a vast, boundless continent.

A mass of ghostly fog began to spread outward, attempting to envelop the Soul Continent.

Yet the ghost fog accumulated by slaughtering over a hundred thousand zombies is utterly insignificant in front of the Soul Continent’s sheer size, merely nibbling it bit by bit, attempting to house it within the Soul Banner.

As the most renowned growing magical artifact in demon way, the Soul Banner’s greatest feature is that it can grow endlessly as long as it has enough souls.

Hundred Souls Banner, Thousand Souls Banner, Ten Thousand Souls Banner, all gradually grew from the basic Soul Banner, unrestricted by materials themselves.

The Soul Banner inherently restrains souls; given enough time, in theory, any soul can be sacrificed and refined.

But there’s a premise— the Soul Banner’s master can suppress the resistance of the refining soul, control the autonomous consciousness of the refining soul, otherwise, the autonomous consciousness will counter the sacrifice, leading to failure.

This vast Soul Continent is the purest Soul Creation, without material characteristics and without external rules, entirely perceived as a soul giant without consciousness, without any resistance ability.

Even if its mass is large enough to shatter the Soul Banner with just a minor resistance, as a dead thing, it cannot even exert that minor resistance.

Like a sleeping giant, it allows the Soul Banner to begin containment and refining.

While Lu Yan fully engaged in driving the Soul Banner to contain the Soul Continent, the atmosphere within the Spiral Tower became somewhat bizarre.

The brief arrival of the Intelligent God solely through breath suppressed everything, causing incomparable shock to everyone.

Lu Yan’s use of a trump card to partition the Soul World precipitated the Intelligent God’s hasty return.

Everyone hadn’t sighed in relief from the majesty of the Intelligent God, following this they witnessed the Soul Banner’s decree triggering the Soul Continent to rupture and descend.

The fleeting breath leaked to the outside world at that moment also allowed everyone to feel the pressure from the Soul Continent, yet Lu Yan subsequently attempted to use the Soul Banner to contain the Soul Continent dissipating the leaked breath.

In most people’s eyes, they couldn’t understand the confrontation at higher levels, nor comprehend its cause, merely immersed in terrifying oppression.

Only Bewis, serving as the attack commander, vaguely guessed something but didn’t dare to confirm.

What they could see was only Lu Yan extracting the Soul Banner, enveloped by surging ghost fog, with the fog occupying most of the floor.

Two consecutive terrifying oppressions plunged the situation into a temporary stalemate.

But just the next second, intense rumbling sounds erupted outside the Spiral Tower.

Sky Battleships descended within the Heaven Computation Center’s range from high altitude; due to the critical importance of the Spiral Tower, Sky Battleships couldn’t use large-caliber destructive light cannons, they merely rained hundreds of metal boxes from above.

Upon landing, massive metal boxes instantly unfolded, transforming into fully armed mechanical soldiers.

They are far better equipped than the mechanical soldiers stationed at the Heaven Computation Center, even equipped with large-caliber Spiritual Energy Cannons, amplifying the bloodier carnage swiftly at the Heaven Computation Center.

At the top layer, the brief clash between Lu Yan and the Intelligent God had ended, but the defense of City No. 14 had just begun.

Meanwhile, within the Spiral Tower, several Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users quickly recovered from the brief shock, except for one who was incapacitated by the Giant Spirit Main Soul and another critically injured by a Spiritual Energy Grenade carried by elite spiritual ability users, five Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users remained.

Fragments of data streams flashed through their eyes, the remaining five Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users seemed to realize what had just transpired, swiftly changing their arrogant demeanor into fierce fury, charging directly into the pitch-black ghost fog.

"Desecrate the God, die!"

"Cover fire!"

In an instant, numerous High-Energy Sniper Rifles blocked the path of the five Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users ahead.

As a single-man tool, the High-Energy Sniper Rifle can harm an Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability User’s defense, but the biggest issue is that they are too fast and almost impossible to hit.

Everyone instinctively believed the five Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users would temporarily abandon the attack, yet surprisingly, three charged outward, forcibly blocking High-Energy Sniper Rifle shots with non-vital body parts.

In mere moments, the remaining two Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users had already reached the fog’s edge.

But the next moment, scarlet tendrils protruded from the ghost fog, effortlessly piercing the two remaining Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users!
