Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

The conversation between Wen Yu and Tang Haofei had no effect on the nearby Almighty Demon Vine.

At this moment, the Almighty Demon Vine was more focused than ever before.

The power of the Soul Nurturing Pill seeped into the Almighty Demon Vine’s body. Experiencing warmth and comfort, its Soul Power grew stronger.

Soul strengthening, unlike bodily strengthening, isn’t as apparent—at least at this moment, the increase in the Almighty Demon Vine’s Soul Power hadn’t been noticed by either Tang Haofei or Wen Yu who were nearby.

Wen Yu then asked, ”Has it been ingested?”

”It has been ingested.”

”What should we do next?”

”Leave it to me, all you need to do is wait.”

The power of the Soul Nurturing Pill slowly melded into the depths of the Almighty Demon Vine’s soul.

A gentle and comfortable power slowly emanated, then was rapidly absorbed by the soul within the Almighty Demon Vine.

At a certain moment, sensing its Soul Power had become abundant, the Almighty Demon Vine slowly unfurled its branches. A strange, hidden Spiritual Fluctuation instantly radiated, surging towards the upper levels of the Heavenly Palace.

Inside its body, as the Soul Nurturing Pill’s power was gradually absorbed, another, even more mysterious power surged out from within the pill almost at the exact moment it was fully absorbed.

Sensing this power, the Almighty Demon Vine let out an indescribable sigh from the depths of its being.

The Soul Bead, formerly the number one treasure of the Almighty Immortal Emperor, was violently shattered by the Dominator in the final battle, its fragments scattered throughout the entire Heavenly Palace.

The main part of it still remained in the upper levels of the Heavenly Palace, but a large number of fragments had been used by the former Almighty Immortal Emperor to create three Soul Nurturing Pills and establish the various conditions to activate that ’backup plan’.

With the combined power of the Almighty Immortal Emperor and the Demon Lord, this ’scheme’ had been laid. It was no exaggeration to say that the current Almighty Demon Vine possessed countless methods to guide Wen Yu onto the ’right path’!

And the current method was arguably the quickest and most efficient: using the Soul Bead fragments within the Soul Nurturing Pill as a catalyst to draw upon the Soul Bead’s residual power. The Soul Bead fragments within Daoless Child and his two companions, absorbed by the Spirit Rhythm Immortal Pill, were intended for Wen Yu to alter his own aura fluctuations, and then…

At this thought, the Almighty Demon Vine immediately ceased its deliberation.

Because the main portion of the Soul Bead fragments in the upper layer had already sent back a clear feedback fluctuation.

The true purpose and plan of the Almighty Demon Vine for luring Wen Yu into the Heavenly Palace Treasure Land was finally revealing the tip of the iceberg.

「Within the Almighty Immortal Emperor’s tomb on the Eleventh Floor of the Heavenly Palace.」

The old man—no, a young man? No, it was more fitting to describe him as the Demon Lord’s carbon copy.

At this moment, the Demon Lord’s carbon copy sat quietly in a secret chamber left by the Almighty Immortal Emperor. Then, at a certain moment, sensing the soul aura surging from below, the Demon Lord’s carbon copy abruptly opened his eyes!

In his extremely powerful perception, that secretive Spiritual Fluctuation had almost nowhere to hide.

Watching the familiar soul fluctuation navigate the complex mausoleum as if returning home, twisting and turning before moving into an unknown space, a rare smile touched the corners of the Demon Lord’s carbon copy’s mouth.

A voice, as if muttering to himself, came from the Demon Lord’s carbon copy, ”Tongtian’s preparations are complete. Next, it should be my turn...”

After speaking, the Demon Lord’s carbon copy gently waved his hands.

Complex and arcane runes continuously flowed from the Demon Lord’s carbon copy’s hands, rapidly connecting the various arrangements within the secret chamber. With his power, mastering some of the unique power systems of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes was truly simple.

And the Demon Lord’s carbon copy’s purpose in doing all this...

He was merely preparing for another certain individual.

The Almighty Demon Vine’s Soul Fluctuation swiftly rushed into an unknown Dimensional Space on the Eleventh Floor of the Heavenly Palace.

To the Almighty Demon Vine, the barriers between different spaces were like a thin sheet of paper, pierced with a poke. Then, its Soul Fluctuation followed a route rehearsed countless times in its mind, rushing in the fastest way possible into a hemispherical object placed in the very center of the Dimensional Space.

CREAK.

CREAK.

The cracking sound continued, yet no one could perceive this trivial noise. Consequently, no one could perceive the magnificent radiance displayed in the final moments of the Soul Bead, once an ultimate treasure of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes.

Dense cracks spread across the already dilapidated Soul Bead. Streams of black energy rapidly emanated from within, then drifted into the air and slowly vanished.

No, they hadn’t vanished. These Soul Marks, contained within the Soul Bead, spread like invisible streams of light throughout the entire Heavenly Palace Treasure Land, swiftly finding their ’original bodies’ based on indelible imprints and memories.

Merging, then reviving, then awakening...

Everything proceeded just as scripted by the Almighty Immortal Emperor and the Demon Lord. It was predictable that, in not much time, the entire Heavenly Palace would inevitably reenact its former prosperity and power.

These Soul Marks, hidden within the Soul Bead, having muddled through an unknown amount of time, were bound to erupt with dazzling light one last time.

However, a plan was, after all, just a plan.

And a plan implies variables.

Furthermore, the place where the plan was currently being implemented was not the home ground of the Almighty Immortal Emperor, nor even the Demon Lord!

「At the moment when the Almighty Demon Vine’s Soul Power connected with the Soul Bead, releasing the Soul Marks within, far away in some unknown space...」

A towering figure, radiating white light, sat high upon a massive throne, like one of the Divine Beings.

Before it, a spherical object, much like a globe of Earth, slowly revolved around this figure.

If one were to look inside this spherical object with a microscope, the mountains, rivers, human figures, and monsters within would be clearly visible. Each appeared as a living entity, unconcernedly doing what it was supposed to do.

The majestic Great Wall, the vast Yanjing Assembly Site, and even the Eternal Sky City floating above the Yanjing Assembly Site were perfectly presented on the spherical object. It was like a toy, held in the Dominator’s grasp, allowing him to wantonly observe every single action upon it.

A perfect God’s Vision!

The Almighty Demon Vine wasn’t wrong about one thing.

The Dominator is the Dominator—ruling all heavens, suppressing all things.

This was an ultimate monster capable of free movement, its power even exceeding the sum total of an entire world!

But, just as Golden Armor—now Protector Number 1—had said, the Dominator was not without weaknesses.

He too, has his enemies!

The moment the Soul Bead cracked, the Miniature Globe before the Dominator abruptly halted.

A majestic and boundless voice instantly swept through the entire palace.

”Who disturbed my pigsty!”
