Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Gently turning the Thunder-forged Long Spear in his hand, the chubby figure leaned slightly back, his entire body tensing like a drawn bow. Then...

SWOOSH~~~

The Thunder-forged Long Spear belonging to Tang Haofei was thrown back by the chubby figure with perfect form, colliding head-on with another spear.

BOOM!

A deafening blast rang out as the collision unleashed a torrent of Thunder’s power. In an instant, the sky filled with flickering Thunderclouds, dyeing the hazy gray expanse a brilliant, Deep Blue.

Then, the chubby figure made his move.

...

Watching Tang Haofei in the sky, fluttering his Thunder-forged wings and continuously hurling spears downward, the chubby figure’s expression remained as tranquil as an ancient well.

Within the Heluo squad, the chubby figure was another Breakthrough Achiever besides Heluo himself; his strength needed no further explanation. As an elite warrior from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, the chubby figure was far from dim-witted.

Heluo was even stronger than I am, yet he was killed by the Young Master without causing so much as a ripple. Plus, when I just came up, the Young Master’s calm gaze... This is a kill-or-be-killed situation for me!

Escape? No! There’s no point. He ruthlessly crushed the fleeting thought.

Slowly, he squatted down, the muscles in his legs bulging.

Why should I run? I grew tired of living long ago!

Perhaps recalling the days of endless war, the times his squad had shared laughter and curses, he looked at the figure constantly flashing blue in the sky and took a deep breath.

His once-heavy fat reserves converted into fuel, providing energy to his body. Infinite power coursed through his bloodstream, and the golden armor he wore blazed with an even more brilliant light.

If I can take down this guy up there before I die, then when we meet in the underworld, I’ll be able to face the captain and the others...

The chubby figure thought this, and then—

BOOM!

He shot into the sky!

...

Like a cannonball, the chubby figure’s body transformed into a brilliant streak of golden light, shooting straight towards Tang Haofei in the sky!

Countless Thunder-forged Long Spears, like Precision-guided missiles, rained down from above, carrying terrifying energy and violent wind pressure to pummel the chubby figure. However, in the chubby figure’s eyes, such an attack was truly insignificant!

Throughout his long life, the chubby figure had experienced countless battles, large and small, and witnessed innumerable bizarre abilities. Considering Tang Haofei’s attack methods and the disparity in their raw power, these Thunder-forged Long Spears were, to him, no different than raindrops.

Casually swinging his fists, he easily batted away the incoming Thunder-forged Long Spears. They veered off course and struck the ground, leaving crater after crater.

At this moment, the chubby figure, like a great golden bird, soared into the sky amidst the blue spears with incredible speed!

In nearly the blink of an eye, the golden light reached Tang Haofei’s altitude!

SWOOSH~

The blue figure flapped his wings, nimbly dodging the chubby figure’s flight path, and another Thunder-forged Long Spear materialized.

In the air, the difference in agility between the one with wings and the one who had leaped was starkly clear!

However…

BOOM!

Another deafening explosion!

Mid-air, the chubby figure kicked out with his legs again. The immense force compressed the air, and a momentary burst of explosive power made the air beneath his feet detonate like a bomb.

Propelled by the tremendous reactive force, the chubby figure’s body accelerated and changed direction again. Tang Haofei didn’t know if this was the chubby figure’s skill, a Cultivation Technique from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, or just a simple combat trick.

But none of that matters...

What matters is that the chubby figure has already shot straight towards my face!

...

A butterfly, agile and beautiful.

A Swift, fast and powerful.

At this moment, Tang Haofei was like a butterfly, constantly changing direction in mid-air, attempting to evade the chubby figure’s aerial pounce.

The chubby figure, however, was like a Swift. His powerful linear speed transformed his entire body into a streak of golden light. Occasional roars erupting from beneath his feet provided some force to alter his trajectory!

Under Wen Yu’s gaze, the mid-air chase concluded quickly.

The faster Swift, even if less agile in changing directions, finally achieved victory due to its superior speed!

BOOM!

Rings of air blasted out from under his feet, the tremendous reactive force propelling the chubby figure’s body instantly beneath Tang Haofei.

Then, the chubby figure reached out with both hands and seized Tang Haofei’s ankles!

RUMBLE...

The blue silhouette, like a crashing plane, was brutally slammed into the ground by the golden figure from mid-air.

Then, the golden figure dived fiercely, heading straight for the spot where the blue figure had crashed!

...

The instant his ankles were caught, Tang Haofei knew things were bad.

However, before Tang Haofei could react, an immense force surged up from his legs.

The chubby figure in the air gripped Tang Haofei tightly and, with a furious exertion of strength from his arms, hurled Tang Haofei towards the ground!

From the brief aerial exchange, it was clear that Tang Haofei, who possessed the Power of Heaven and Earth, was better suited for aerial combat. The chubby figure’s intention was obvious: he wanted to Control Tang Haofei on the ground, using the earth as their battlefield, and let his vastly superior close-combat skills decide the victor!

However, understanding an opponent’s intentions was one thing; being able to counter them was another entirely...

Under the chubby figure’s might, Tang Haofei’s Thunder-forged wings couldn’t withstand the ferocious power, and he was slammed into the ground headfirst!

...

The whistling sound and immense pressure from above triggered Tang Haofei’s instinctive reaction.

Aided by the Power of the Earth, Tang Haofei’s body instantly shifted three meters to the right. The next second…

BOOM.

A large, golden-glowing foot stomped down fiercely where Tang Haofei had been.

So strong! Tang Haofei thought, quickly adjusting his balance while rapidly assessing the strength the chubby figure had just displayed. My divine beast lineage, a physical constitution nearing 30,000 points, plus the enhancement from the True God Dominant Body... even with all that, my physical constitution is nearly half as weak as my opponent’s!

Tang Haofei himself probably never imagined that this seemingly unremarkable chubby figure from the Heluo squad actually possessed such astonishing strength!

From this small display, it’s clear I’ve grossly underestimated the true strength of the natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes!

However, the chubby figure, already resolved to fight to the death and seeking only this battle, paid no heed to Tang Haofei’s thoughts.

Seeing his stomp miss, the chubby figure instantly swung his fist, bringing it crashing down towards Tang Haofei, who wasn’t far off!
