Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 445: Chapter 56: The Almighty Demon Vine and the Meeting (Extra update for Ely’s reward!)_1

After some time, once everyone had finished selecting and enhancing their skills, the Dominator once again threw five space rings to the top five powerful experts of the sequence.

Inside them were the item rewards and accompanying usage instructions from the Dominator for the top five ranks of this Sequence Member-Ranking Battle.

The next second, the Dominator’s voice rang out.

”The Sequence Member-Ranking Battle concludes now. Also, since the Eternal Sky City has acknowledged its master, it will descend into the Main World. Sequence Number 1, please choose the landing site. The landing will take place in one Earth day.”

”Meanwhile, during this interval, the remaining sequence members can choose to continue staying in the Eternal Sky City. After the City descends into the Main World, a teleportation device will be activated. Any Exchange Stone Pillar will become a teleportation coordinate to the Eternal Sky City. Professionists can also teleport directly to the Eternal Sky City via an Exchange Stone Pillar! The specific access restrictions can be set by the current owner of the Eternal Sky City!”

As soon as the Dominator finished speaking, Wen Yu felt the world spin. The next moment, he appeared in Sequence Number 2’s room.

Recalling what the Dominator had just said, Wen Yu suddenly understood. The future Eternal Sky City will undoubtedly serve as the ultimate trump card for the entire Human Race and a transit hub for their teleportations. This reward for Sequence Number 1 is truly lavish!

Wen Yu turned to look out the window. The azure blue sky outside was already beginning to ripple and distort—a spatial displacement phenomenon caused by the Eternal Sky City transitioning from the treasure land into the real world. However, no one inside the Eternal Sky City felt any discomfort.

After gazing at the scenery for a while, Wen Yu slowly returned to his chair and summoned Cyclops and Star. Glancing at Victor, who was still recuperating, he then took out the space ring the Dominator had given him last. Inside, a tiny vine swayed gently...

Almighty Demon Vine: Esoteric Level item. An ultimate bio-weapon cultivated by a past cultivation civilization, using Demon Flesh as its primary material! The Almighty Demon Vine resides in its host’s body, feeding on Demon Flesh. When the Almighty Demon Vine absorbs Demon Flesh, it will automatically nourish its host in return, permanently increasing the host’s lifespan and the upper limits of their physical constitution. Furthermore, it can be used as a Weapon, defensive tools, a means of recovery, or a special-purpose item—as the ultimate esoteric creation independently developed by the cultivation civilization, the Almighty Demon Vine possesses numerous uses and effects! The host is encouraged to explore and develop its specific functions and effects on their own!

Note: Upon receiving the Almighty Demon Vine, the host will need to perform a blood-binding ritual to establish ownership. The Almighty Demon Vine can only have one master!

Looking at this tiny vine, from its appearance, it truly didn’t resemble an Esoteric Level item—it was delicate, frail, and emitted a faint, elusive scent. According to the introduction, the most significant current effect the Almighty Demon Vine had on Wen Yu was its ability to devour Demon Flesh, thereby breaking through the upper limits of his physical constitution. This is critical! With the Level Lock in place, even a slight breakthrough in these upper limits could lead to a qualitative transformation in combat power. But before all that, one step was necessary: Blood Ownership Recognition.

Just like in fantastical cultivation novels, Wen Yu bit his finger and dripped a droplet of blood onto the Almighty Demon Vine. The blood was slowly absorbed by the vine, and what followed was a mental connection. It was a state of Chaos, devoid of any autonomous consciousness, yet the mental connection was very close. It was similar to the contract with the Soul Realm space, but differed slightly in its details. Wen Yu couldn’t pinpoint the exact difference.

At Wen Yu’s command, the Almighty Demon Vine slowly crawled onto his wrist before gradually entering his body, causing him no discomfort whatsoever. Sensing the mental link on his wrist, Wen Yu slowly familiarized himself with how to manipulate the Almighty Demon Vine.

First came attack and absorption. The slightest thought from Wen Yu would cause the Almighty Demon Vine to instantly appear on his wrist and lash out like a whip. At the tip of the vine, a large mouth filled with sharp teeth would instantly open, sharp enough to crush any creature opposing Wen Yu! Feeding, naturally, also depended on this large mouth at the tip of the Almighty Demon Vine.

Next, Wen Yu tested its defensive power. The Almighty Demon Vine could instantly transform into a protective layer of vegetation, enveloping Wen Yu’s body to thwart attacks. It could also defend while simultaneously attacking. Moreover, Wen Yu perceived that as the Almighty Demon Vine absorbed more Demon Flesh, it would develop various additional functions. The current Almighty Demon Vine is still in its juvenile stage...

As if he had received a new toy, Wen Yu continuously swung the Almighty Demon Vine in the spacious living room, thoroughly enjoying himself. At times, he had the Almighty Demon Vine coil around Cyclops and Star, dancing them up and down. At other times, he let the vine wrap around his own body in a Defense Stance, or he would offer it some fruit to eat. Unfortunately, the Almighty Demon Vine didn’t appreciate Wen Yu’s gesture; fruits were not a quality food source for it. It only eats Demon Flesh!

After a while, a knock on the door from outside interrupted Wen Yu’s play. Retracting the Almighty Demon Vine back into his body, Wen Yu walked to the entrance and opened the door.

Outside, Tang Haofei stood with his arms crossed. He nodded at Wen Yu with a smile and asked, ”How’s that Almighty Demon Vine treating you?”

The two sat on either side of the coffee table, and Wen Yu handed Tang Haofei a bottle of fruit juice.

”So, everyone in the Eternal Sky City is under your surveillance?”

Tang Haofei took a sip of the juice and nodded. ”That’s right. As the owner of the Eternal Sky City, I do have that privilege. Also, I genuinely didn’t expect the Dominator to be so generous as to hand over the complete ownership rights of the Eternal Sky City to me—not just control rights or partial ownership, but full ownership!”

Wen Yu nodded and said, ”The Dominator was quite generous this time. By the way, now that we’re here, can you answer my questions?”

The control and ownership rights of the Eternal Sky City don’t concern me at all—it’s not my property, so why should I care? The focus must remain on the matter of Rebirth.

Perhaps sensing Wen Yu’s inner turmoil and the importance he placed on the matter, Tang Haofei calmly stood up. He walked over to the window and looked at the folds in the sky caused by the spatial transfer. He sighed softly and said, ”That’s a very, very long story...”

”But before that, I need to eat something... You were feasting before the challenge, but I didn’t get such treatment.”

Seeing Wen Yu’s helpless expression, Tang Haofei finally smiled, satisfied.
