Chapter 1141: 354. Keen Insight
[System Message:]
[Harmless Deconstruction Successful!]
[Your deconstruction progress on the “Death World Signal Tower” has increased to 5%.]
[You have obtained partial panel information about the deconstruction target:]
[Name] Death World Signal Tower
[Type] Mortal World Technology Product, Death Magic Product
...
[Status] Starting up, launch process at 1%
[Purpose]
This is a large facility specifically designed to open a gap into Outer Space.
It uses soul energy from the Soul Factory as a power source and the beacon deployed in the Inner Cosmos including the Ghost City of the Dead World as an anchor. It emits a beam of soul energy into the sky, piercing through the Star Filtering Net, and establishing contact with the Ghost City of the Dead World in Outer Space.
[Weaknesses]
1. Destroying the Underground Pipeline Network of the Soul Factory will cause internal energy fluctuations in the Signal Tower, thereby interfering with its operations.
2. Absorbing the soul energy beam emitted by the Signal Tower can weaken its impact on the Star Filtering Net.
3. Manually shutting down or destroying the Signal Tower’s ritual array can terminate its operation.

…
Noland Lee read over the deconstruction results he had obtained and then looked down at the Underground Pipeline covered by the soil.
Within his range of energy perception, he could clearly feel the rhythm of energy coming from underground, a main river of soul energy formed by countless tributaries flowing straight towards the distant Black Tower.
Destroying such a main river of soul energy should be easier than forcing his way into the Black Tower to destroy the ritual array, right?
Imagine that.
Noland Lee saw his opportunity to use Earth Magic to drill underground and, using silent power and the Sword of Silence, cut open the protective shield of the energy pipeline and carve a gap in the pipe wall.
Then, he would throw “Soul Absorption” at the gap in the pipeline and take a deep, forceful breath.
What would happen?
Noland Lee narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully fantasized about such a scene.
His “Soul Absorption” had no external manifestations, nor did it have any side effects.
Theoretically, no matter how much soul energy flowed through the main pipeline, he would be able to suck it all dry.
By then, the only factors that would limit his performance were two.
One was the narrow range of “Soul Absorption,” which did not exceed 5 meters in each direction.
The other was the speed of soul energy flow in the main pipeline, or to put it another way, the flow rate.
As long as he sucked away as much soul energy as possible before the Undead Cult found him, he could delay the appearance of the polluted area known as the “Steel Forest of the Dead World.”
Based on the deconstruction results, this was the first method Noland Lee had thought of to prevent the appearance of the polluted area.
A similar method would be to run to the top of the tower, stand between the soul energy beam and the Star Filtering Net, and suck up the soul energy with all his might.
However, Noland Lee was uncertain whether the so-called “soul energy beam” could still be absorbed.
According to the deconstruction results, this “soul energy beam” was meant to penetrate the Star Filtering Net and would necessarily carry a magical power that most people could not withstand.
It was more like a powerful offensive spell rather than pure energy.
For safety’s sake, Noland Lee shelved the idea of absorbing the soul energy beam for now.
As for the third weakness mentioned in the deconstruction results, Noland Lee didn’t give it much thought and dismissed it temporarily.
Being cast in the role of a Sea Monster, a Guest, he likely didn’t have access to the Black Tower.
So overall, in the current situation, taking out Lophi and the adjacent Spider Mother Attendants and then entering underground to destroy the energy pipeline seemed to be Noland Lee’s best option.
Noland Lee nodded slowly, having made a deduction in his mind.
Just as he was about to discuss an action plan with the Assassin Angel, he saw the surrounding energy roar rapidly disappear, and the dark green radiance of the pyramids ceased to flicker.
“Buzz—buzz—buzz.”
The vibration dissipated, reverting to silence, the earth-shattering spectacle evaporated into thin air.
Did the Signal Tower fail to start?… Noland Lee looked towards the High Tower, puzzled.
His gaze swept over Lophi, and on the face of this Spider Monster, he saw the same look of confusion.
It was at this moment that a flying patrol of Undead Spirits emerged from the nearby darkness and landed in front of Noland Lee and Lophi.
The patrol consisted of 7 members, all War Spirits proficient in combat, capable of fighting solo and holding their own.
They were burly Skeletons or Living Corpses clad in exquisite high-collared battle robes, bearing pale Bone Magic Swords, with cloaks fluttering in the wind behind them, looking majestic and awe-inspiring. noveldrama
After arriving, the leader of the group used the “Levitation Spell” to step in the air in front of Lophi and Noland Lee, speaking down from on high:
“The Destruction Law Archbishop is testing the Divine Tower. Take your guest and continue on. Do not linger.”
War Spirits, these types of Undead beings, were typically fierce and laconic, and they were naturally brutal and indifferent.
Even Lophi, who was a member of the Undead Cult, could expect no cordiality from a War Spirit, even less so from a high-level practician of the Spider Mother Faction.
Lophi himself knew that War Spirits were not to be trifled with, and as the patrol here wielded the power of life and death, they were not to be crossed.
After shooting a look towards Noland Lee that said “Shut up, don’t talk,” Lophi led his mount, the Spider Monster, along with several Spider Mother Attendants, swiftly passing by the War Spirits, heads bowed, heading towards a magnificent palace south of the Black Tower.
A few members of the War Spirit patrol trailed Noland Lee and his companions from a distance, only returning when the group had left the Soul Factory with the pyramids.
