Even a Titled Douluo like Abomination could not resist the chill of the core region of the Extreme North solely with his physical strength.
The same was true for the evil soul masters who had followed Lin Xiao here.
Lin Xiao and Abomination emanated soul power fluctuations that protected the group as they slowly advanced across the vast snowy plain. Once they left the shelter of the soul power, the bone-piercing cold felt as if it would freeze even the soul power within their bodies.
At this moment, when everyone saw the tall tower appearing before their eyes, they could not help but widen their eyes involuntarily.
They usually had no opportunity to venture so deep into the Extreme North alone, so they had never known that such a tall tower existed here.
Even the former disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult could not immediately associate it with the Death God Tower, for although this Eternal Tower was built on the foundation of the Death God Tower, its appearance had long since become different from the Death God Tower.
The aura emanating from the Eternal Tower seemed capable of dispersing the surrounding cold air. As the group drew closer, the heavy snow near the tall tower gradually stopped falling, and the soul power within their bodies that had been frozen seemed to begin flowing once more.
"Everyone, follow me into the tower."
Lin Xiao spoke as he took the lead and walked forward.
Some evil soul masters still felt hesitation in their hearts, but when they turned back and saw the vast snowy plain where the blowing snow completely obscured the view into the distance, they ultimately extinguished the thought of turning back right then.
Not to mention that just moments ago, two evil soul masters had died silently beside them, even without that incident, the severe cold of the Extreme North had already sealed off their retreat.
Gritting their teeth slightly, the group followed Lin Xiao into the Death God Tower. Abomination looked around once, and seeing that no one had been left behind, he too followed.
The interior of the Eternal Tower was far larger than everyone had imagined. Looking around, gray light almost filled every corner of the tower. Clearly, they were inside the Eternal Tower, yet it felt as if there were no boundaries in sight.
The moment they entered the tower, it was as if they had passed through a barrier and stepped into a completely different world from the one before. There was no harsh cold of the Extreme North here, only a deathly silence all around. Even they, who were accustomed to death, could not help but feel a trace of fear rise in their hearts.
Besides Lin Xiao, the figure of Ming Lei quietly appeared.
"This is the first floor. I didn't leave too many mechanisms here, after all, I need to give them some time to adapt."
Ming Lei looked at his own design and nodded in satisfaction. "However, they will soon discover that the heavenly origin energy inside the tower is limited. Soul power can only be consumed, and the rate of recovery is much slower than outside."
"Combined with the restriction on food, we don't need to do much more. They themselves will realize that if they want to survive here long enough, the only way is to eliminate the people who came here with them."
Lin Xiao slightly turned his head and glanced at him. It had to be said that when it came to making others kill each other, Ming Lei was indeed a professional. It was clear that he had put considerable effort into his "hobby."
"But something is still missing here."
"What is it?" Lin Xiao asked quietly.
"Relying solely on this method can make them fall into internal strife, but it won't last long. We still need to set up sufficiently tempting rewards, and then limit the number of people who can enter each floor. Naturally, they will fight desperately over them."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao suddenly thought of something. "The method of selecting disciples in the Holy Spirit Cult back then was that also something you came up with?"
Ming Lei opened his mouth, then suddenly stopped speaking.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao already knew the answer.
The Holy Spirit Cult's method of selecting disciples had always been brutal: throw a group of children together to kill each other. Those who could survive would naturally be the most outstanding disciples.
The martial souls of the selected disciples might not be outstanding, but in actual combat, they would certainly display power beyond imagination.
A group of children would fight desperately for survival and for the quota to become a disciple of the Holy Spirit Cult.
The current setup inside the Eternal Tower was so similar to that time.
Ming Lei naturally knew about Lin Xiao's experiences in the Holy Spirit Cult. Back when the Sleep Demon Douluo had thrown him among that group of disciples to train him, he had been at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.
"Should I change the method?"
Ming Lei thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
"Forget it, this is quite good," Lin Xiao shook his head instead. "Since they think that the Tong Ming Cult is another Holy Spirit Cult and can shelter them under the identity of the Sun Moon Empire's state religion, they naturally also need to experience what it was like inside the Holy Spirit Cult."
"After all, if they want another Holy Spirit Cult, they cannot only enjoy the benefits that the Holy Spirit Cult brought them."
Ming Lei was already a soul, yet upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, he had the illusion of a chill running down his back.
The lowest-level evil soul masters killed for pleasure. The higher-level ones would get involved in business between empires, smuggling weapons and trafficking people, among other things.
As for someone like Lin Xiao, who, with his own power, could influence the entire situation of the Douluo Continent, although he was only the National Teacher, he could interfere in most matters of the Sun Moon Empire; such an evil soul master was probably already the greatest evil soul master on this continent.
Thinking of this, Ming Lei suddenly felt that even the former Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu were nothing more than that.
Lin Xiao did not know what Ming Lei was thinking. He simply raised his hand slightly, and several soul lamps appeared before him, floating up slowly.
The other evil soul masters still did not understand what these were, but the disciples who had escaped from the Holy Spirit Cult instantly focused their gazes on them.
Vaguely, they all sensed that the remnant souls contained within those soul lamps were faintly resonating with their own.
Swallowing hard, several gazes in the crowd stared fixedly at the soul lamps in Lin Xiao's hands, not daring to shift away.
However, Lin Xiao did not hand over the soul lamps. Instead, he gently raised his hand, and those soul lamps continued to float upward. Under everyone's gaze, they left the first floor and headed toward the higher levels of the tower.
"If you can pass the trials here and reach the top floor, you will naturally be able to retrieve those things. There will also be other rewards."
As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, some people could not hold back.
"However, the number of spots to reach the top floor is limited. You… figure it out yourselves."
Lin Xiao slowly disappeared from everyone's sight, together with Abomination. The atmosphere among the group of evil soul masters instantly became tense.
Even the evil soul masters who could not recognize the soul lamps could probably guess from the reactions of the others that those were definitely not ordinary items.
"Brother, we both came from the Holy Cult. How about we team up for now…" Some quick-reacting evil soul masters had already begun to act.
"Cult Master, this…" In a place out of sight of the others, Abomination looked at Lin Xiao with some confusion.
"Although it's still possible for them to team up for now, they are all evil soul masters. How could there be absolute trust between them? It won't be long before chaos breaks out."
Abomination scratched his head. "But if it's like this, won't they start fighting?"
"Yes. I not only want them to fight, but I also want this place to become a land filled with betrayal and slaughter on this continent."
