Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 488: Chapter 80 Pregnancy, Isolation, Total Replication._1

It felt as though he was being transported. Wen Yu felt dizzy, his body instantaneously drawn into the purple light curtain.

The next second, Wen Yu and Faceless appeared in the familiar Las Vegas Assembly Site!

Wen Yu immediately turned and touched the purple light curtain behind him. A strong resistance pushed back, clearly informing him that he could enter but not leave.

Realizing this, Wen Yu sighed softly, then turned and scanned his surroundings.

Under the shroud of purple light, the atmosphere of Las Vegas felt ominous and eerie.

The most eye-catching things, without a doubt, were the dozens of enormous, purple-glowing chrysalises hanging on the light curtain.

Seeing the chrysalises above him undulating ceaselessly, as if gestating something, a fleeting shadow of gloom crossed Wen Yu’s eyes.

To avoid a tragedy similar to the one on the cross-world battlefield, Wen Yu’s actions in the outside world had been intended to gather information about this barrier.

Under the dual torments of the Soul Battlefield and Soul Strike, Wen Yu had undoubtedly obtained the information he sought.

The Demon Tribe had an abundance of everything: armies, powerful experts, and strategic weapons.

But if one were to identify what the Demon Tribe had most, it would undeniably be their countless cannon fodder.

Led by the Soot Skin Demon Fiends, several other Cannon Fodder Species had short breeding cycles, with each litter producing multiple, or even dozens, of offspring. The offspring’s survival rate was also decent. Combined with their ability to eat anything, these creatures’ lives held no value to the Demon Tribe; even in their own eyes, the lives of their kin were worthless.

The Demon Tribe had long studied the problem of how to turn these Cannon Fodder Species into relatively robust combat forces, and they had even achieved results.

The Star Devouring Demon was one such result.

And the purple light curtain before them was arguably an even more powerful transformation method than the Star Devouring Demon.

Wen Yu didn’t rush to contact Victor. Instead, he carefully scrutinized the chrysalises several hundred meters above his head.

The chrysalises pulsated rhythmically, as if gestating some unknown, terrifying life forms.

Where the chrysalises connected to the purple light curtain, a large, tube-like structure pulsed ceaselessly, supplying them with a massive amount of energy.

This purple light curtain was known as the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier.

Spawn—be impregnated! Grow—nurture!

First, impregnation; then, nurturing; finally, the birth of an extremely powerful Synthetic Demon Monster.

Just as Wen Yu was observing the chrysalises above, one in the distance suddenly swelled before bursting open.

Amidst a rain of blood and viscous fluid, a humanoid creature fell from the sky.

With Wen Yu’s excellent Vision, he clearly saw the humanoid creature’s appearance—it was a being that looked exactly like Arthur but with blackened skin and blood-red eyes.

The blackened Arthur plummeted from the sky, causing a violent explosion. Then, obscured by broken walls and ruins, Wen Yu lost sight of the false Arthur.

But it didn’t matter; Wen Yu had already roughly inferred the current progress of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier.

Even Arthur has been replicated...

The impregnation process was quite simple. As long as a powerful expert’s blood was spilled in this area, the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier would automatically extract the organism’s genetic composition—including skills and species innate talent. Then, the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier would automatically evaluate whether the creature met the spawning requirements—primarily a comprehensive combat power assessment. Once it passed these requirements, the spawning process was considered successful.

The next step was nurturing.

The Demon Tribe provided countless cannon fodder, which would flood into the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier and then launch suicidal attacks against the humans or mutant beasts inside.

These were indeed suicidal attacks. The creatures, barely reaching Early Stage Level 2, couldn’t stir up any real trouble against Wen Yu’s team, led by Qin Tian.

However, as long as humans and mutant beasts killed a Demon Monster, the nurturing process would inevitably follow.

The Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier would actively absorb the energy of life forms that died within it and transport this energy to the chrysalises. This provided the growing synthetics inside with the necessary nutrients for their growth. In other words, it was impossible not to kill these cannon fodder who willingly sought death here. But once you did, you were merely providing nutrients for a stronger enemy’s growth.

This was an unsolvable, vicious cycle.

Thinking this, Wen Yu immediately entered a battle-ready stance and slowly extended his right hand.

A black light gradually condensed at his fingertip, growing deeper and more profound. A second later, a black Energy Fluctuation rapidly shot out from Wen Yu, directly hitting the nearest chrysalis.

The violent darkness energy exploded instantaneously. Under the unparalleled shockwave, the chrysalis trembled violently, then...

Visibly, the chrysalis swelled rapidly, its form instantly becoming a size larger.

The entire Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier could absorb various internal attacks—including physical and energy attacks—converting them into pure energy. This energy could reinforce the barrier’s defense capabilities and even accelerate the formation of the life forms inside the chrysalises.

The chrysalises connected to the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier naturally inherited this trait.

The attack had no effect—this was within Wen Yu’s expectations. The Demon Tribe would never deploy a technology with such obvious flaws on the battlefield.

Having confirmed the information he had obtained outside, Wen Yu quickly established a mental link with Victor.

This time, the communication was unobstructed; the mental connection was very stable.
