Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”Heavenly Dao sealed me here and placed a ton of restrictions on me, forcing me to filter Soul Energy for it. I can’t leave; I’m just passively acting as a sieve here. If you want me to teach you things, I can. I can even give you far more, but you have to save me!”

”How can I save you?”

”It’s simple. I’ll teach you some tricks so you can absorb the power in this large light sphere. You just need to drain all the energy from it. Once the sphere has no Soul Energy, the restrictions here will lose their power source, and I can naturally leave.”

”It’s that simple?”

Wen Yu was stunned. This was a good deal! Absorbing Soul Energy would not only enhance his own Soul Strength but also allow him to get some good things out of this young man.

”Oh, and I need to warn you. Once the Soul Energy here is completely absorbed and the restrictions set by Heavenly Dao become ineffective, it will definitely notice what’s happening here. As for Heavenly Dao’s reaction...”

Wen Yu’s heart sank—although Heavenly Dao had already sent assassins to kill him, the two hadn’t truly reached a breaking point. If he were to destroy Heavenly Dao’s Rebirth plan, its reaction would be self-evident.

However...

Wen Yu gritted his teeth!

He was most likely already in Heavenly Dao’s sights, marked as a target for possession. In this situation, was Wen Yu still considering coexisting peacefully with Heavenly Dao and mending the relationship between senior and junior brother? He must be out of his mind!

Perhaps noticing Wen Yu’s shift from hesitation to determination, the Demon Lord said leisurely, ”Actually, the problem with Heavenly Dao is easy to solve. Just save me, and I can handle this Heavenly Dao trouble for you. Oh, I haven’t introduced myself yet. You can call me Demon. Before the Universe of Immortals and Heroes was destroyed, I was the Lord of the Demon Palace. Of course, being the lord isn’t important. What’s truly important is that I am a Level 11 powerful expert in the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, and Bai’s master...”

”After I get out, I’ll definitely need to have a word with Bai...”

With that, the Demon Lord’s soul body gently patted Wen Yu’s shoulder.

”The clash between two Level 11 powerful experts... TSK TSK, that would certainly be interesting, wouldn’t it...”

”I hate people who keep everything in suspense!” Wen Yu grumbled.

Initially, Wen Yu’s plan was to get benefits from the Demon Lord, then completely absorb the Soul Energy in the sphere, and then... decisively run away. Why should he stay in this damn treasure land any longer?

However, the Demon Lord’s introduction had presented Wen Yu with another option!

If the Demon Lord could really mobilize Bai, then things would be much easier to resolve. Heavenly Dao and Bai were both Level 11 powerful experts. To Wen Yu, they were like the sky itself. Even if one sky collapsed, there was another one to hold things up! In this situation, what did Wen Yu have to fear?

”But, uh... I’m the son of the Almighty Immortal Emperor. As far as I know, my old man and Bai have some conflict...”

”Oh, you mean that incident where Tongtian killed Bai’s son,” the Demon Lord replied nonchalantly, then continued at a leisurely pace, ”Bai, that fellow, has a weakness: he’s lecherous. Sons? He has, if not a thousand, then at least eight hundred. Losing a mere son, what does that count for?”

”Let me tell you, you’re still too young. You don’t understand the minds of those old monsters who’ve lived for tens of thousands of years. Sons and such? For a guy like Bai, they really don’t matter!”

Wen Yu was still a bit uneasy. ”So, are you sure Bai will help you?”

The Demon Lord shot Wen Yu a look.

”Believe it or not!”

The term ’suspicious,’ in some respects, isn’t necessarily a derogatory term, as it implies comprehensive thinking.

Moreover, being suspicious and being decisive aren’t mutually exclusive. Although Wen Yu asked many questions, deep down, he had already made his choice!

Letting out a deep sigh, Wen Yu looked at the Demon Lord’s soul body before him and nodded firmly.

Seeing this, the Demon Lord slowly rose. A white light gradually emerged from his right hand, then gently covered Wen Yu’s forehead.

The next second, Wen Yu only felt the world spin, and then his consciousness re-entered the previous perspective.

Before him, his soul body sat cross-legged. Beside it, five small, gleaming spheres circled ceaselessly.

”The professionist system has a long history. According to the speculations within the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, it was thought to have been created by the Dominator. However, when the Demon Tribe appeared, this theory was directly overturned!”

”The ability system utilized by the Demon Tribe is also the professionist system. Moreover, according to reliable intelligence, the Demon Tribe’s appearance predates even the Dominator...”

”So, theoretically, the Demon Tribe should have mastered the professionist system even before the Dominator. Of course, these are merely deductions. More specific details will require you to seek them out and judge for yourself.”

A vast and powerful voice echoed in Wen Yu’s conscious space.

”We won’t discuss these things for now. The first thing I want to teach you is an alternative application of your primary skill—Soul Strike!”

”Before that, I must explain the essence of skills to you. What do you believe is the essence of skills?”

Listening to this lecture-like instruction, Wen Yu was completely bewildered. He then shook his head.

For Wen Yu, the essence of skills? That was a question for the military’s researchers to ponder! He just needed to use them, that was all!
