Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Looking at the struggling Soul Body of Heluo in his hand, a trace of a playful smile appeared at the corner of Wen Yu’s mouth.

Then, with a pinch of his fingers, he directly crushed Heluo’s Soul Body.

Scattered white specks of Soul light danced and dispersed, and Heluo’s Soul Body had vanished without a trace.

Casually dealing with a Level 7 Breakthrough Achiever didn’t make Wen Yu flinch in the slightest. Possessing the Soul Battlefield, Wen Yu held an overwhelming advantage over these native inhabitants of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes who had been revived from wraiths. The advantage was so immense that Wen Yu felt no joy in victory.

An overwhelming battle, indeed, lacked passion.

With the death of Heluo’s Soul Body, the Soul Battlefield space began to shatter. Like a mirror, the pure white walls of the Soul Battlefield fractured into pieces, then dissolved into tiny white specks of light.

The next moment, Wen Yu felt a tremendous force pulling at his Soul Body.

Knowing his own abilities, Wen Yu quietly closed his eyes until the pulling force on his Soul Body gradually vanished. Only then did he open his eyes.

Before him, one of Heluo’s team members stared at Wen Yu, his face a mask of confusion.

He still couldn’t understand why his team captain had suddenly taken on the appearance of His Highness the Young Master.

However, the sight of a grown man looking so utterly dumbfounded wasn’t enough to stir any compassion in Wen Yu.

Slowly raising his right hand, the skill fluctuations of the Soul Battlefield surged out once more, instantly locking onto the bewildered man before him.

”Soul Battlefield!”

Black Light surged into the man’s body. In less than three seconds, his physical form melted and reformed like wax, transforming into Wen Yu’s likeness.

Though it was three people, a two-on-one fight, the victor was quickly decided in the nearly silent battle.

However, the higher the risk, the greater the reward. But two consecutive Soul Battlefields? The benefits Wen Yu gained were almost too pitiful to mention!

Wraiths were, after all, just wraiths. After victory in the Soul Battlefield, the wraith shattered and disappeared. Upon absorbing the Soul Power within, Wen Yu couldn’t even feel the slightest improvement in his Soul Strength.

Not even a slight increase!

In addition, the Soul Battlefield directly destroyed the physical body. This meant he gained nothing from it; the essence of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes within was completely wasted!

From a pure gain perspective, this battle had been utterly pointless for Wen Yu.

This trade-off didn’t make Wen Yu hesitate for long. He knew full well that without the Soul Battlefield, he would be a vulnerable target in this Demon Tribe-occupied area. Therefore, prioritizing his survival was his wisest choice.

First, he picked up the two space rings that had fallen to the ground. Without inspecting their contents, Wen Yu glanced at the bottomless pit nearby, cleared his throat, and then roared down into it in the language of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes.

”Old Tang, I’ve dealt with the two up here! How’s it going down there?”

Using the news of their teammates’ deaths to slightly disrupt Tang Haofei’s battle below—just a little trick...

Wen Yu’s roar rapidly propagated down the tunnel Tang Haofei had carved out, quickly reaching the eardrums of the three individuals below.

Hearing Wen Yu’s voice, the fat man’s right fist faltered for a moment, then, with even more ferocious momentum, it slammed into Tang Haofei’s right cheek!

BOOM!

In an instant, blood and flesh splattered! Tang Haofei’s body was slammed deeper into the ground like a cannonball!

The intense tremor even caused Wen Yu, standing above, to feel the ground shake.

Unlike Wen Yu, who possessed what amounted to an exploit, Tang Haofei’s battlefield here was one of raw power against raw power—a true contest of absolute strength!

After swatting Tang Haofei away with a palm strike, the fat man said gravely to Zhu Zi beside him, ”What’s going on?”

In the fight against Tang Haofei, the fat man, with his thick skin, immense strength, and resilience, had become the main force enduring Tang Haofei’s iron fists!

”I have no idea!”

Beside him, Zhu Zi maintained a strange hand seal, his eyes shut tight. Beads of sweat dotted his forehead as if he were desperately trying to suppress something.

During their fight with Tang Haofei, neither of them had the luxury to worry about the situation above—besides, Heluo was stronger than both of them combined!

After a moment’s thought, the fat man said quickly, ”Never mind here. Go up and check.”

As Level 7 professionists, the fat man and Zhu Zi weren’t foolish enough to misidentify the voice. Wen Yu’s shout had been loud and clear; they recognized it instantly.

So, what happened to our captain and teammate?

The fat man knew his captain’s strength well. He couldn’t believe Heluo would be defeated by Wen Yu so quickly. Heluo must have merely been controlled, he thought. Either way, they definitely need backup up there more than I do down here!

Hearing the fat man, Zhu Zi asked directly, ”Can you handle this? That guy is not weak. My skill can help you suppress eighty percent of that guy’s physical attributes!”

The sounds from below grew clearer, indicating that Tang Haofei was struggling his way upward, ”swimming” through the earth.

By now, the fat man had a clear assessment of his opponent’s strength. Although Tang Haofei was only Level 5, his skills and physical attributes were in no way inferior to his own as a Level 7 Breakthrough Achiever!

Taking a deep breath, the fat man turned to Zhu Zi, his expression grave as he nodded. ”Understood. Be careful!”

Zhu Zi finished speaking, released his current skill, and formed another hand seal. Instantly, strong gales converged within the cavern, continuously condensing behind Zhu Zi to form a pair of enormous wind wings.

With a gentle flap of the wings on his back, Zhu Zi shot upwards like an arrow.

Sensing the unknown pressure and skill fluctuations on his body suddenly vanish, along with a presence rapidly retreating from above, Tang Haofei sighed internally.

The fat man and Zhu Zi were indeed formidable. Zhu Zi was a Peak Level 7 professionist, and the fat man was a Level 7 Breakthrough Achiever.

Furthermore, their combat styles were offensive and supportive, respectively. Together, they posed a significant challenge for Tang Haofei.

However... Old Tang loved a challenge! The greater the trouble, the faster his True God Dominant Body activated, and the more his physical attributes improved!

Viewed this way, Wen Yu’s little trick had actually diminished Tang Haofei’s potential gains.

Fortunately, it wasn’t entirely for nothing...

The alert for the Challenger’s trial hadn’t stopped. This means the fat man above is qualified to be my challenge target!
