Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 448: Chapter 58 Union_1

When it came to the Dominator, Tang Haofei’s expression instantly turned serious.

He slowly stood up, pacing back and forth in the spacious living room. ”I didn’t fully understand the Dominator’s intentions in my previous life, but I know the Dominator is certainly not helping us!”

Wen Yu nodded.

”If he were helping us, he would have alerted the Human Race when the Origin Extraction Device appeared. So you didn’t find out anything about the Dominator’s purpose at all?”

If Tang Haofei, who also held Sequence Number 1 in his previous life, hadn’t found out anything about the Dominator’s purpose, it would have truly disappointed Wen Yu.

But Tang Haofei was indeed talented.

”Just a tiny bit,” Tang Haofei said to Wen Yu with a smile. He sat back down on the chair and took out a large pile of things from his space ring.

...

”This.”

Tang Haofei took out a black crystal.

”This thing is present in every demon spawn’s head. You’ve seen it, right?”

Wen Yu nodded.

”Normally, if you kill a demon spawn and remove this, it will disappear completely. However, there are some black crystals in this world that appear out of thin air and are obtained by Earth’s creatures. In my previous life, I called them—Demon Realm’s Core Fragments! This is because the energy they contain is similar to the origin of the Earth’s nucleus.”

Wen Yu took the Demon Realm’s Core Fragment from Tang Haofei’s hand. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. After searching through his memories, he finally realized, Isn’t this the thing that was on the Giant Eagle’s head in Chaihe Town back then...?

Playing with the Demon Realm’s Core Fragment in his hand, Wen Yu asked in confusion, ”What’s its function?”

”This small thing is of great importance!”

Tang Haofei, a smile on his face, gestured to Wen Yu with another Demon Realm’s Core Fragment in his hand and said slowly, ”If this thing is obtained by a Human who hasn’t changed professions or a wild beast that hasn’t mutated, it will automatically dissolve into their body and transform them into a demon spawn! At that point, the transformed organism will naturally no longer be considered an Earth creature. Humans transformed this way can’t use the Exchange Stone Pillar and can’t enter the treasure land. However, the Demon Realm’s Core Fragment will provide the host with an alternative advancement path; I’m not clear on the specifics.”

”This function is of no use,” Wen Yu said decisively.

”Right. But this thing can be absorbed by a professionist!” Tang Haofei said, his face serious.

...

”Once a professionist swallows this, they will fall into a deep sleep, and their body will be altered.”

”When a professionist fully absorbs the energy from the Demon Realm’s Core Fragment, they will awaken. They will become an unknown organism—neither a professionist nor a demon spawn. Likewise, they cannot use the Exchange Stone Pillar, nor can they use the treasure land!”

Wen Yu frowned. ”Then, what’s its use?”

”To break free from the Dominator’s control!!!”

Tang Haofei enunciated each word.

...

”The Dominator can arbitrarily retract the power he grants to professionists. However, professionists who have absorbed a Demon Realm’s Core Fragment are not subject to this!”

Wen Yu stared intently at the Demon Realm’s Core Fragment before him, pondering in silence for a long moment before slowly shaking his head.

”Breaking free from the Dominator’s control doesn’t have much practical significance. According to you, if the Demon Tribe is that powerful, then there’s no point in escaping the Dominator’s control!”

Tang Haofei shook his head. ”It is significant! Very significant. This relates to a part of the Dominator’s purpose that I’ve uncovered...”

After speaking, Tang Haofei picked up a black cylindrical object from the table.

Wen Yu had one too... the device that could absorb magic crystals from the Human Race!

Tang Haofei pointed to the black cylinder in his hand.

”This thing, according to my guess, is the Dominator’s true objective!”

...

Seeing the black cylinder placed before him, Wen Yu also took out the black cylinder from his space ring, the one given to him by the Space Ancient Demon Species.

”Claire told me you’ve seen this, so I won’t elaborate on its function. I recall that even back then, you should have known that the Human Race possesses magic crystals, right?”

Wen Yu nodded.

”This thing is standard issue for every member of the Demon Hunting Group. Its purpose is to extract the Mo Demon Crystal after the Hunting Group kills a Human Race Sequence!”

”Since you know its effects, you must have wondered where the Human Race’s magic crystals went, right?”

Hearing Tang Haofei’s question, Wen Yu nodded.

”They’re probably collected by the Dominator and then distributed to the outside world through the Exchange Stone Pillar!”

Hearing Wen Yu’s answer, Tang Haofei chuckled and shook his head.

”Wrong. The Dominator would never distribute something so important. It seems you haven’t carefully studied the magic crystals of the Human Race. Let me show you something.”

After saying this, Tang Haofei directly took out a Third-level magic crystal from his space ring.

...

The sparkling and translucent magic crystal gleamed in Tang Haofei’s hand.

Although it didn’t look much different externally, Wen Yu knew it was a magic crystal of the Human Race. It was a gut feeling!

Noticing Wen Yu’s gaze, Tang Haofei nodded affirmatively. ”Indeed, it’s a magic crystal of the Human Race.”

Then, Tang Haofei took out another one—a Level 4 magic crystal!

”This is also a Human Race magic crystal!”

The next second, Tang Haofei pressed the two magic crystals together.

An astonishing scene unfolded...

...

The point where the two magic crystals touched slowly began to melt, and then, they fused into one!
