Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

The incoming runes did not faze Tang Haofei in the slightest.

Barely the size of a fingertip, yet their power was like a missile, one after another, they hammered onto Tang Haofei’s body, and a series of deafening explosions ensued.

However, amid the fiery sparks, Tang Haofei didn’t slow down at all—these runes, capable of annihilating a peak Level 4 Demon Fiend with one hit, barely tickled him—they couldn’t even break his True God Dominant Body!

The Son of Earth, the reborner chosen by the Dominator and Earth’s will.

Whichever it was, the difficulty for Tang Haofei to obtain power far surpassed others’ imaginations.

And with all three overlapping, as Tang Haofei himself put it, even a pig could become invincible!

Coupled with the fact that Tang Haofei’s power system was one of direct, overwhelming might—his strength, speed, and defensive power were beyond anyone’s imagination.

Even Wen Yu couldn’t be certain how strong Tang Haofei was now!

And now, facing Daoless Child, a glimpse of Tang Haofei’s terrifying strength was finally on display.

...

Tang Haofei brutally broke through the zone of rune bombardment, which spanned nearly 10,000 meters, as if he were piercing a sheet of paper—nothing could be more effortless for him; to cross this zone, he simply had to run.

Shortly after, a rune-made long sword gradually formed in Daoless Child’s hand as he slowly descended from mid-air—for the strongest being on the Fourth Level of the Heavenly Palace, long-distance bombardment wasn’t Daoless Child’s most powerful move; close combat was!

Unfortunately, Daoless Child had truly picked the wrong opponent this time!

”Freeze!”

With a single word empowered by True Words, Daoless Child’s body froze on the spot. Still in mid-air, he immediately stumbled and plunged headfirst to the ground.

Tang Haofei then caught his fall and, in passing, swiftly broke his neck.

The battle was over.

For Wen Yu, Daoless Child, who would likely have been a formidable foe had the Soul Battlefield not been in effect, had just been taken down by Tang Haofei in a single round.

One had to admit, even with the Soul Battlefield in his possession, there was still a considerable gap between Wen Yu’s current strength and Tang Haofei’s.

...

Tang Haofei casually tossed Daoless Child’s body on the ground and nonchalantly sat down beside it.

Before Tang Haofei made his move, the military had relayed intelligence to him once again—Wen Yu had killed another Breakthrough Achiever on the Fourth Level of the Heavenly Palace.

Though he didn’t know Wen Yu’s goal, it was obvious who he was targeting—he was searching for Breakthrough Achievers on the Fourth Level of the Heavenly Palace.

And Tang Haofei, who had been idling around, was overcome by curiosity and promptly abandoned the main military force, heading to the Fourth Level of the Heavenly Palace on his own.

He wanted to find Wen Yu...

One has to admit, the luck and intuition of the ”true protagonist” are off the charts. At this moment, following his inexplicable intuition’s lead, Tang Haofei had found the most profitable course of action for himself. The luck of the Son of Heaven’s Destiny is sometimes just plain unreasonable!

...

”Daoless Child is located 200 kilometers ahead,” the Almighty Demon Vine chattered incessantly in Wen Yu’s ear.

”The place where Daoless Child is located is the Heavenly Palace Fourth Level United Army Camp. You should have a rough estimate of his strength. I won’t elaborate any further.”

”Understood,” Wen Yu responded gravely.

Physical stats above 20,000 points, theoretically at the Species-specific Esoteric Level, coupled with the augmentation from Cultivation Techniques—this strength, even for the current me, would still be a considerable challenge. In my maximum combat state (excluding the 1st Soul, with the remaining Soul Realms all augmenting my own skills), I have two Species-specific Esoteric abilities: Soul Battlefield (ineffective against dead souls) and Pitch-dark Divine Light, with Victor capable of providing an additional Species-specific Esoteric ability. I possess two such abilities myself. In terms of the number of abilities, I have the advantage. But in terms of the level of abilities, I am far behind Daoless Child. However, Perfect Duplication of Faceless (at the Species-specific Esoteric Level) seems to be my trump card and secret weapon—as long as I can obtain Daoless Child’s body tissue, Faceless could replicate an identical Daoless Child. In that scenario, the outcome of the battle would be obvious! A Soul Master doesn’t have many advantages, but we do have many abilities! And having more abilities means I can handle a vast majority of unexpected situations—to put it bluntly, no matter what kind of opponent I face, I can always ensure I have a way to turn the tables.

...

As he drew closer, Wen Yu quickened his pace.

Rough tactics and considerations were complete; all that was left was to fight. There was no essential difference between fighting earlier or later.

Only when the distant United Army Camp entered Wen Yu’s perception range did he slowly come to a stop.

”What’s up?”

The Almighty Demon Vine’s perception range wasn’t as far as Wen Yu’s, hence it was unable to detect what was going on in the distance.

Wen Yu stood still for a while before finally responding to the Almighty Demon Vine with a spiritual fluctuation.

”Tang Haofei is there, and Daoless Child is dead...”

”Where’s the body?”

On hearing the news of Daoless Child’s death, the Almighty Demon Vine became frantic; its spiritual fluctuations even intensified twofold.

”Under Tang Haofei’s butt.”

”That’s good, that’s good.”

The completion of the Spirit Rhythm Immortal Pill merely needed something from within Daoless Child’s body—whether Daoless Child was dead, or who he had been killed by, didn’t concern the Almighty Demon Vine in the slightest.

”What should we do?”

Upon hearing Wen Yu’s question, the Almighty Demon Vine responded indifferently, ”You’re asking me what to do? How would I know? Didn’t you say you know Sequence Number 1? Go to him and ask for Daoless Child’s body.”

”Ah, this isn’t as simple as you think...”

Making a fortune quietly was the ideal way, but now Tang Haofei had intercepted me. Given Tang Haofei’s intelligence and personality, this wouldn’t be easy to smooth over. I refuse to believe that Tang Haofei wouldn’t be curious about what I wanted Daoless Child’s body for.

While contemplating all sorts of ways to deal with Tang Haofei, Wen Yu kept moving, heading straight in Tang Haofei’s direction.

...

”What are you here for?” Wen Yu asked first, looking at Tang Haofei, who sat cross-legged before him as if deep in meditation.

”To see you...” Tang Haofei finally responded after a long pause.

At this point, Wen Yu wasn’t in a rush anymore and took a brief glance at the battlefield.

The scene was littered with traces of the bombardment, but the evidence of Tang Haofei’s actions was minimal—only a trail of large footprints leading straight from the distance to Daoless Child’s body.

The fighting was brief; the difference in ability was large. Tang Haofei’s strength is beyond imagination...

In a short period of time, Wen Yu had managed to roughly recap the battle.
