Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

One small matter after another, seemingly ’unrelated to Wen Yu,’ step by step, formed various branches. These branches then continuously converged toward an unknown direction. Whether these ’small matters’ would ultimately develop into ’big matters’ related to Wen Yu remained to be seen.

But at this very moment on the Fourth Level of Heavenly Palace, the matter Wen Yu was facing was certainly not small.

The Pitch-dark World kept spreading. From a distance, a massive water mist and dark forces seemed to combine continuously, like two evil dragons ceaselessly entwining.

”Water Moon, triple SSS-Class, one Esoteric Level, 15,689 physique points!”

This was the information Wen Yu and Victor had jointly detected before the battle!

However, Wen Yu never expected that Water Moon’s Esoteric Level skill would be a domain-type ability, similar to the Pitch-dark World.

In terms of physique, Wen Yu was comparable to Water Moon, and their skill levels were also evenly matched. Strictly speaking, the Pitch-dark World was superior to SSS-Class skills; once Divine Light Awakening occurred, it would immediately transform into an Esoteric Level skill.

However, Wen Yu’s species innate talent was far inferior to Water Moon’s—this was an undisputed fact. Combined with the various Cultivation Techniques Water Moon possessed, Wen Yu struggled somewhat when controlling the Pitch-dark World to forcefully collide with her domain-type ability.

Fortunately, Wen Yu was not alone.

Fortunately, after Wen Yu’s three soul pets had gulped down a large quantity of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they could now offer substantial help in fights against adversaries with 15,000 to 20,000 physique points!

Fortunately, Wen Yu still had a handful of trump cards up his sleeve he hadn’t used.

Hence, the outcome of the battle would not slip out of Wen Yu’s control.

About thirty minutes later, the water mist ahead gradually dissipated.

Sensing the power belonging to Water Moon gradually crumbling, Wen Yu also adjusted his energy output, slowly weakening the power of the Pitch-dark World.

After both domain-type powers completely dissipated, a large area in front of Wen Yu, resembling a marsh, was revealed—this was the battlefield where Water Moon had fallen.

His three soul pets lay or stumbled about, their bodies covered in scars that vividly told the story of the ferocious battle—but the result was good.

And Wen Yu valued the result more!

Water Moon lay quietly on the ground. With her beautiful figure and being only around twenty years old, it was no exaggeration to say she had died young.

However, war never cares about age.

And in battle, no one cares about looks!

”It’s over.”

Hearing Wen Yu’s call, the Almighty Demon Vine slowly emerged from Wen Yu’s right hand, slithering like a snake onto Water Moon’s fallen body.

Seeing the Almighty Demon Vine dawdling, Wen Yu couldn’t help but say, ”Relax, she’s already stone cold!”

At Wen Yu’s words, the Almighty Demon Vine hastened, quickly climbing onto Water Moon’s corpse. Its tendrils drilled into the hole in her chest, torn open by Cyclops’s claw, and then began to twist and churn vigorously.

After a moment, the Almighty Demon Vine extracted another object, similar to the porcelain-like fragment from Laughing Monk’s body but slightly different in shape.

Wen Yu, with practiced ease, took out a Spirit Rhythm Immortal Pill and tossed it directly to the Almighty Demon Vine, then paid no further attention to its actions.

He briefly inspected the injuries on his three soul pets.

Cyclops was the most severely wounded. However, thanks to Mortal Combat and the Blood and Flesh Badge, Cyclops’s contribution to the battle had actually been the greatest—the fatal blow to Water Moon was delivered by its claw!

Victor’s and Star’s injuries, however, were not serious. Star’s defense capabilities were exceptional, and Victor, thanks to the Netherworld, possessed naturally remarkable mobility.

Through this battle, Wen Yu had also gained a rough understanding of his three soul pets’ enhanced combat abilities. Now, they could finally provide meaningful assistance in battles at his level.

After a brief moment of thought, Wen Yu recalled his three soul pets into the Soul Realm space.

Water Moon’s ability system was strange and unpredictable. While she wasn’t overwhelmingly strong, Wen Yu found her considerably more difficult to handle than Laughing Monk.

And what of Daoless Child, who was a tier stronger?

It was conceivable that if Wen Yu still dared to fight Daoless Child by ’testing his soul pets’ combat strength,’ as he had just done, something unpredictable might occur.

This meant Wen Yu had to concentrate all his power on himself and unleash his strongest capabilities.

It seemed his three soul pets would likely lose their chance to appear in the next battle!

The Almighty Demon Vine slowly retracted into Wen Yu’s palm. At the same time, the wooden box containing the Spirit Rhythm Immortal Pill was also returned to Wen Yu’s hand.

No longer looking at the devastated battlefield, Wen Yu retracted his gaze and directly asked the Almighty Demon Vine, ”The next location!”

”That way.”

A tendril of the Almighty Demon Vine gestured, pointing Wen Yu in the direction of Daoless Child.

”This is the place, isn’t it?”

Looking at the hand-drawn yet exceptionally clear map in his hand, Tang Haofei nodded slowly.

He casually tossed the map, obtained from a scout, to the ground and looked ahead.

There, a stone complex resembling a small ancient town stood intact in the distance, having weathered countless ages.

Of course, the architecture itself wasn’t Tang Haofei’s concern. What caught his attention were the people still present and the battle raging there!

Terrifying Energy Fluctuations radiated outwards. Runes floated up from the ground one after another into mid-air, then descended from the sky, smashing fiercely onto the earth.

Violent explosions and destructive Energy Fluctuations, like precision-guided missiles, erupted from within the small town. With Tang Haofei’s eyesight, he could clearly see a single figure within the town reducing vast numbers of Demon Fiends to ashes with a mere flick of their fingers!

”’Little Daoist... the strongest Breakthrough Achiever on the Fourth Level of Heavenly Palace. Tsk tsk, that’s some impressive power indeed.’”

Seeing the delicate-featured young man, who appeared to be less than twenty years old, floating in mid-air before him, Tang Haofei sighed inwardly and remained standing where he was.

Only after Daoless Child had wiped out the horde of Demon Fiends encircling the entire small town did Tang Haofei finally clench his fists and shrug his shoulders.

Everything that had happened to Tang Haofei after entering the Heavenly Palace had been utterly boring. All he’d done was follow the military’s main contingent for a bit, then beat up some ’kids’...

But now, seeing a ’target’ with such impressive strength, Tang Haofei felt a stir of interest.

Perhaps it’s time to loosen up a bit, Tang Haofei thought.

The next moment, Tang Haofei slightly bent his knees, and his entire body shot forward like a cannonball.
