Once Huo Yuhao said this, not only the two of them, but the onlookers around them also breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Since failure wouldn't cause any irreversible damage, they might as well give it a try; there was nothing to lose anyway.
However, another question quietly arose in everyone's minds: since Spirit Souls were also born from Spirit Beasts, where would the Spirit Beasts come from for these three people to perform the Fusion? Surely they couldn't just run to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts right now?
Just as someone was about to ask, an overwhelming and suffocating aura descended without warning, like an invisible mountain crashing down from the heavens, engulfing everyone in the first-floor hall of the Spirit Pagoda.
This aura was not just purely powerful; it also carried an incomparably domineering will.
Many of the experts present were Titled Douluo level, and they pinpointed the source of this pressure almost instantly.
They all looked up in unison, and their pupils contracted violently at the same time.
The first floor of the Spirit Pagoda was eight meters high, leaving a considerable amount of space above everyone's heads.
Right there in the empty space above, a twisting, pitch-black spatial rift tore open without warning, its jagged black edges greedily devouring the surrounding light.
Then, a tall figure stepped out from the spatial rift unhurriedly.
It was a man about two meters tall with a face as chiseled as if carved by a knife or axe. He wore a long black robe with wide sleeves embroidered with dark gold Dragon patterns. His long, pitch-black hair fell naturally to his waist, but a single, striking lock of golden hair drifted across his forehead.
The more powerful the Spirit Master, the more shocked they felt at this moment.
Because when facing this black-robed man who had stepped out of the spatial rift, they couldn't even summon the slightest thought of resistance.
Even the Illusion Dragon Douluo, who had the highest cultivation here, found his breathing becoming noticeably rapid, his chest heaving several times before he barely managed to steady his mind.
He frantically searched through nearly two hundred years of memories in his mind, but could not find anyone who matched the black-robed man before him.
Since when did the continent have another Limit Douluo like this?
That's right; in the judgment of the Illusion Dragon Douluo, the black-robed man appearing above them was definitely a Limit Douluo level existence.
That suffocatingly powerful aura was slowly retracted, and everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily. Many realized that their clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.
The tall figure descended slowly from mid-air, his long black sleeves fluttering slightly in the air.
He landed expressionlessly beside Huo Yuhao with his hands clasped behind his back. Even without a trace of aura leaking out, he still gave people a sense of looking down upon the world.
As for Huo Yuhao, the moment he thought about what he was about to say, an uncontrollable sense of anticipation surged in his heart.
He really wanted to see what kind of reaction these experts from various powers across the continent would have after hearing this news.
He suppressed the curve of his lips that was almost threatening to rise and spoke slowly: "To ensure a stable supply of Spirit Souls, our Spirit Pagoda has officially reached a deep cooperation with the Star Dou Great Forest."
"And the one standing beside me is the Master of the Star Dou Great Forest, the number one of the Ten Great Vicious Beasts, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the Beast God Di Tian!"
After speaking, he pointed to Di Tian beside him, while observing with great interest that the expressions of the people opposite him froze in unison, as if they had been hit by a binding spell.
Immediately afterward, looks of disbelief and shock flooded onto every face like a tide, and some people with slightly lower cultivation subconsciously staggered back two steps.
Some even released their Spirit Rings as a conditioned reflex, with Spirit Rings of various colors lighting up one after another in the crowd.
For Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent, those Vicious Beasts deep within the Star Dou Great Forest were their greatest danger.
Moreover, standing before them right now was not an ordinary hundred-thousand-year Vicious Beast, but the legendary Beast God Di Tian, the most powerful existence on the continent!
No one doubted Di Tian's identity; the terrifying aura that had almost crushed their Souls just now was proof enough of everything.
Di Tian's deep, golden Dragon eyes scanned the humans before him who were facing him like a formidable enemy. He remained expressionless, only snorting coldly in his heart.
These humans were not worthy of his attention; all of them combined were not as significant as a single Huo Yuhao.
Because of Di Tian's appearance, the originally noisy and bustling hall became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop in an instant.
Everyone became cautious, and even their breathing unconsciously softened.
It wasn't that they were cowardly; it was just that Di Tian's reputation was too terrifying.
The current scene was exactly as Huo Yuhao had expected.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, breaking the suffocating silence: "The promotion of Spirit Souls by the Spirit Pagoda requires the support and cooperation of all parties."
"Currently, the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Star Dou Great Forest have officially joined the Spirit Pagoda, becoming members of the Spirit Pagoda Council."
As his words spread, the atmosphere in the hall, which had been almost frozen, finally began to ease.
Cai Meier stood in the crowd and asked: "Can other powers also join the Spirit Pagoda?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Cai Meier and answered calmly: "That's right. As long as it helps with the promotion of Spirit Souls, the Spirit Pagoda sincerely invites all powers on the continent to join and become members of the Council."
After saying this, he didn't give everyone much time to digest the information. He turned around directly, looked at Wang Donger, Yu Tianxing, and Shao Min, who had already stepped forward, and asked: "What specific requirements do you have for your Spirit Souls?"
Yu Tianxing and Shao Min looked up at Di Tian cautiously, feeling their legs shaking uncontrollably. Their lips trembled for a long time, but they couldn't utter a single word.
So at this moment, it was up to Wang Donger. She spoke calmly: "I need a Spirit Beast with the Light attribute, between twenty-five thousand years and thirty thousand years."
With Wang Donger taking the lead, Yu Tianxing and Shao Min took a few deep breaths, finally managing to stammer out their requirements for their Spirit Souls.
Huo Yuhao had already communicated with Di Tian in detail beforehand, so Di Tian had naturally come fully prepared this time.
After the three of them had stated their requirements one by one, Di Tian raised his right hand expressionlessly. With a gentle wave of his wide black sleeve in the Void Realm, a golden giant fox over three meters long appeared without warning in the open space in the center of the crowd.
Yu Tianxing and Shao Min subconsciously retreated a step, almost jumping on the spot.
This was a genuine Ten Thousand Years Spirit Beast; even just lying there quietly, the aura it emitted casually was enough to make them terrified.
The large fox was covered in fur as brilliant as pure gold, with only a fist-sized, diamond-shaped patch of red fur in the center of its forehead, resembling a cluster of burning flames.
It lay quietly on the ground, eyes slightly closed, appearing to have no aggression, as if it were just asleep.
But in reality, it was severely injured and on the verge of death, which is why it was chosen and brought by Di Tian.
Di Tian's low and majestic voice followed: "Twenty-six thousand years Red Sun Fox King, dual Light and Fire attributes."
Clearly, this Spirit Beast met Wang Donger's requirements perfectly.
Huo Yuhao pointed to a spot not far in front of the Red Sun Fox King and said softly to Wang Donger: "Donger, just sit down here."
Wang Donger nodded, and without the slightest hesitation, walked straight in front of the Red Sun Fox King and sat down cross-legged, placing her hands naturally on her knees.
Then, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Power surged out continuously, and the precise Spirit Guidance formation engraved on the ground suddenly lit up. A silvery-white transparent light shield slowly rose like an inverted glass bowl, enclosing the Red Sun Fox King and Wang Donger together.
Next, everyone saw a semi-transparent phantom starting to emerge from the body of the Red Sun Fox King, which had been lying quietly on the ground; it was the Soul phantom of the Red Sun Fox King.
That Soul phantom drifted slowly inside the light shield for a moment, then, as if summoned by something, it gradually moved towards Wang Donger, finally turning into a wisp of golden light and merging into her forehead.
The whole process was quiet and steady, lasting only about ten minutes before it was completely finished.
When the silvery-white light shield slowly dissipated, only the lifeless carcass of the Red Sun Fox King remained on the ground.
A moment later, Wang Donger slowly opened her eyes. There seemed to be a hint of warm and bright golden halo in her powder-blue eyes.
Everyone was staring in unison at Wang Donger, who was slowly standing up from the ground, their eyes full of anticipation, waiting for her feedback. After all, this was a Spirit Soul Fusion conducted publicly in front of everyone's eyes.
