Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 191: Chapter 147 Task Completed! You guys continue!_1

Li Shanlin and Zhang Lifei stared at the barrier for about ten minutes before finally noticing something.

The barrier moved every ten minutes!

Each movement covered approximately 10 meters!

This meant the barrier was ceaselessly shrinking. As it shrank, the battlefield would become progressively smaller.

When the battlefield shrank to a certain extent, it meant that everyone, even those who didn’t want to fight, would have to face their opponent’s attacks.

There was no escape!

”Uncle Shanlin, what should we do?” Zhang Lifei asked, somewhat indecisively.

”Wait. Just keep waiting. It’s too dangerous to go back now!”

Hearing Li Shanlin’s decision, Zhang Lifei nodded.

Compared to engaging directly in combat, waiting for the barrier to shrink might indeed be a good idea.

「...」

BOOM!

The burning flames ignited the surrounding lush grass, and the residual shockwaves caused Wen Yu to stumble.

Wen Yu quickly stabilized himself and fled into the distance.

When it came to escaping, there were many techniques, and Wen Yu was well-versed in them thanks to his past life experiences.

Besides, I wouldn’t consider this fleeing! This is called creating a diversion! Wen Yu kept consoling himself, which somewhat alleviated his gloomy mood and helped him suppress the impulse to recall Cyclops.

Behind him, the black-robed man’s shouts kept coming.

Wen Yu could only pretend not to hear them.

”Where do you think you can run!”

The black-robed man’s roar echoed again as a massive column of fire spewed towards Wen Yu.

”Dislimn!”

The fire column’s damage radius was too large; Wen Yu could only use his dislimning ability to dodge the attack.

Fortunately, he still had plenty of stamina, and there were Energy Recovery Potions in his space ring, so he naturally wasn’t afraid of this level of consumption.

The raging flames ignited a nearby, unfortunate tree. Then, the black-robed man charged towards Wen Yu without pause.

In this state, the black-robed man didn’t have many skills, but his Physical Strength was terrifying.

According to Wen Yu’s estimate, his pure Physical Strength had probably already surpassed 200 points.

This level was beyond what Wen Yu could currently handle.

Just as I was about to continue running—no, creating a diversion—the situation suddenly changed!

Wen Yu only felt his mind suddenly go blank, and then, the next moment, he knew nothing.

Naturally, the black-robed man behind him was unaware of what had happened to Wen Yu’s body. He concentrated his ferocious strength into his right fist and smashed it directly into Wen Yu’s back.

Wen Yu’s body felt as if it had been run over by a truck. The instant he was hit, his spine shattered.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out as Wen Yu’s body was sent flying, knocking down three large trees before crashing to the ground.

However, despite being hit so hard, Wen Yu began to laugh.

”You must be a newly promoted Demon Palace Guard!”

Although the words were spoken by Wen Yu, and in his tone of voice, the content and inflection were definitely not his! Moreover, these words were in the Demon Realm Language.

The black-robed man, about to press his advantage and end Wen Yu’s life, froze upon hearing these words. He quickly stopped and bowed respectfully to Wen Yu, who had fallen to the ground.

At the same time, a humble voice emanated from the black-robed man, ”Greetings, My Lord!”

”It’s just a wraith, after all.”

”Wen Yu” shook his head slightly and then spoke.

”You’ve arrived just in time. The Soul Fragment I was dwelling in is no longer here. This is just a remnant of consciousness.”

”Hmm.”

”Wen Yu” mused for a moment, then continued, ”Empty your Soul! I will transfer this consciousness to you. After you return to the Demon Realm and see the main body, I will credit you with great merit!”

Upon hearing ”Wen Yu’s” words, the black-robed man’s head sank even lower. At the same time, his voice, a mixture of servility and excitement, declared, ”For the Demon Tribe! For the Demon Lord!”

A stream of Black Light shot from Wen Yu’s eyes, directly into the eyes of the black-robed man.

The black-robed man closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, the master of this body was no longer the original black-robed man.

At this moment, Wen Yu also regained his consciousness.

Wen Yu naturally knew nothing of the exchange that had just occurred between ”Wen Yu” and the black-robed man. The moment his consciousness cleared, the only thing he could feel was pain.

The injury to his spine left Wen Yu completely immobile. The stabbing pain in his internal organs made it clear that his current condition was far from optimistic.

Looking at the black-robed man staring strangely at him, an idea flashed in Wen Yu’s mind. He deactivated his combat status, immediately activated his 2nd Soul Realm, and recalled Cyclops.

At a time like this, Wen Yu definitely wouldn’t care about any ’bigger picture.’

If I die, then nothing else matters!

The moment Cyclops appeared, he assessed the situation and immediately let out a terrifying roar, charging towards the black-robed man.

The injuries Cyclops had sustained while blocking the Demon Realm’s Gate were not light, and his current physical attributes had improved very impressively.

At the very least, Cyclops was definitely capable of killing the black-robed man with its claws.

Seeing Cyclops charging, the black-robed man suddenly laughed.

He ignored Cyclops’s terrifying attack and turned to run towards the Demon Realm’s Gate.

Just before leaving, however, a Spiritual Fluctuation was transmitted into Wen Yu’s mind.

”We will meet again. Look forward to it. When we next meet, some very interesting things will happen!!!”

”Don’t chase him,” a weak voice came from Wen Yu’s mouth.

Cyclops, who was about to pursue, immediately stopped and returned to Wen Yu’s side.

”Take me to Sun Ruixing!”

Wen Yu’s spinal injury was so severe that his hands were no longer under his control. For the current Wen Yu, retrieving a healing potion from his space ring was undoubtedly wishful thinking.

”WOOF WOOF!”

Cyclops let out two low barks, opened its great mouth, gently picked up Wen Yu, and headed towards the battlefield.

「...」

The black-robed man’s speed was not slow, at least much faster than Cyclops carrying Wen Yu.

By the time the black-robed man reached the central battlefield, the fight had once again entered a stalemate.

The mutant beasts and Humans had a slight advantage. However, after Cyclops had let go of the Demon Realm’s Gate, Demon Fiends of all levels had surged out, bringing massive reinforcements to the remaining Demon Tribe members on the battlefield.

Fortunately, there were no Demon Fiends capable of contending with Little Dragon.

Under Little Dragon’s furious assault, it was only a matter of time before the Demon Tribe’s front would collapse.

This was certain; high-end combat power is the fundamental element that determines the outcome of a battle.

The black-robed man ignored Little Dragon, who was excitedly baring its fangs and claws atop a pile of Third-level Demon Beast Corpses, and walked straight to the Demon Realm’s Gate.

This battlefield appeared extremely dangerous, but for a Demon Fiend of the black-robed man’s level, as long as he avoided the limited number of Third-level mutant beasts, the entire battlefield was his to roam freely.

”Sir.”

A Third-level bull demon that had just emerged from the Demon Realm’s Gate bowed slightly to the black-robed man, speaking respectfully.

”Hmm.”

The black-robed man nodded slightly at the bull demon, then walked straight into the Demon Realm’s Gate.

This sight stunned the bull demon.

The Demon Realm’s Gate was, in essence, a one-way teleportation array formation. Invading Earth from the Demon Realm through it was very simple, but returning to the Demon Realm through the Demon Realm’s Gate was extremely difficult.

Let alone the principles involved, just the energy required to reverse the teleportation destination of the teleportation array formation was incalculable.

This was also to prevent counter-invasions by the native inhabitants of invaded worlds. Such incidents had occurred many times when the Demon Realm first began its invasions.

”Oh, right!”

Before the bull demon could react, the black-robed man’s ugly head popped out from the Demon Realm’s Gate.

”My mission is complete. You all continue!”

After saying this, before the bull demon could react, the black-robed man grabbed the Demon Realm’s Gate and pulled hard.

With a piercing sound, the Demon Realm’s Gate...

...was slammed shut!!!
