Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Under the tacit understanding between the two, the dislimning was swiftly dealt with as a trivial matter.

Watching Wen Yu once again begin to familiarize himself with the use of newly acquired skills—including Soul Perception, the new Soul Battlefield, Soul Leave Body, and even augmenting his own body with the skills of his soul pet.

A few hours passed until Wen Yu had mastered all of this. Only then did the Demon Lord nod, slowly receding his Soul Body back into his physical form.

With a finger tapping lightly on the ground, the sound captured Wen Yu’s attention. The Demon Lord spoke.

”I’ve taught you what you need to learn. Now, it’s time you fulfill your promise.”

After speaking, the Demon Lord pointed to the enormous light ball on the side.

...

The Soul Body and physical body slowly merged into one. Wen Yu opened his eyes, gradually moving his physical form.

A series of creaks emanated from his body, prompting Wen Yu, concerned about negative effects from Soul Leave Body, to thoroughly check his physical condition.

The nearby Demon Lord sneered: ”The negative reaction of your body is from when you ’hit the wall’ just now...”

Wen Yu immediately felt embarrassed, then directly withdrew from his battle state.

When the small Soul Beast reappeared on Wen Yu’s shoulder, he immediately noticed the changes in the small Soul Beast.

...

This change did not surprise Wen Yu—all the skills of the small Soul Beast were imprinted on Wen Yu’s body. Now, the small Soul Beast had no usable skills left!

”A minor change, no need for amazement. Actually, skills can only be used in battle state, which serves as a small limitation for Soul Masters. Now, all skill ownership belongs solely to you. Your soul pet can only aid in improving physical qualities and learning skills.”

”Hmm...”

Wen Yu pondered for a moment before quickly accepting this fact—this is good news. In reality, being able to use skills only in battle state has always been criticized by Wen Yu. Entering battle state, the small Soul Beast needs to integrate into his body. While seemingly brief, as levels increase and enemies grow stronger, the reaction time outside battles becomes ever shorter, which is ultimately a weakness in his profession.

Moreover, the small Soul Beast doesn’t have much direct battle capability; thus, this situation suits Wen Yu’s current situation more favorably.

Thinking this, Wen Yu decided not to dwell further on these trivial matters and turned to the Demon Lord.

”Next, what should I do?”

”It’s very simple. Since the skills are imprinted within the Soul Body, in the Soul Out-of-body State, your Soul Body can utilize Pitch-dark Divine Light. As far as I know, dark power should have the capability to Absorb. Hmm, I almost forgot you have Pitch-dark Suction… This makes it simpler. In the Soul Out-of-body State, directly use Pitch-dark Suction on this light ball, completely draining its energy.”

Hearing the Demon Lord’s guidance, Wen Yu pondered briefly before decisively standing up, instantly activating the Soul Battlefield.

...

The gray barrier representing the power of the Soul Battlefield gradually unfolded, and then, Wen Yu’s Soul Body slowly drifted outward.

The range of the Soul Battlefield slowly narrowed until it completely enveloped Wen Yu’s Soul Body.

After quickly adapting to the Soul Out-of-body State, Wen Yu raised his right hand.

A black light instantly shot out, hitting the large light ball, and a substantial collision erupted. Then, the originally dazzling large light ball immediately showed a black mark.

The black mark extended like a pitch-black serpent, and a line invisible to the naked eye connected from the mark to Wen Yu’s Soul Body. In the next moment, a massive force was transmitted over.

An unending flow of Soul Energy surged into Wen Yu’s Soul Body. Wen Yu could feel his Soul Body rapidly expanding, with Soul Power increasing, then being constantly compressed to become nourishment for strengthening his Soul Body.

The soul energy within the light ball was abundant, and Wen Yu’s strength in the Heavenly Palace was not considered strong, causing the absorption speed of Pitch-dark Suction to be quite slow. Therefore, absorbing the soul energy from the light ball is destined to be a slow process.

Wen Yu couldn’t calculate exactly how long it would take, nor did he want to, as at this moment, Wen Yu wished the time would be as long as possible.

Every minute, every second, his Soul Power was increasing, and the feeling of strength enhancement was practically addictive for Wen Yu…

...

Time is indeed peculiar, sometimes feeling especially long, such as during periods of extreme boredom.

Yet sometimes, it passes by like a fleeting horse, vanishing instantly.

Like now…

In the Soul Out-of-body State, Wen Yu only felt the soul energy flowing from Pitch-dark Suction becoming increasingly turbulent, increasingly vast, yet the energy within the light ball seemed like an endless ocean, showing no signs of weakening.

At this moment, Wen Yu suddenly understood—perhaps the greatest gain from this journey wasn’t the technique application taught by the Demon Lord or the skills for future provision.

But rather this enormous light ball full of soul energy in front of him…

The soul energy filled Wen Yu’s Soul Body, pure soul energy didn’t need any transformation process, directly becoming completely his Soul Power, and with the Soul Battlefield, the enhancement of Soul Power, to some extent, meant an enhancement of Wen Yu’s physical quality and fighting capability!

Enjoying the thrill of strength enhancement, Wen Yu’s Soul Body felt as if it were soaking in a warm, comfortable hot spring, with his Soul Body tightly closed eyes, its aura growing stronger every moment.

Until the energy flowing into the Soul Body began to weaken, then diminished to a barely detectable degree…

...

”Awaken!”

The sudden loud shout resonated in Wen Yu’s ears, the sound so loud that it caused Wen Yu’s Soul Body to quiver.

Instantly alert, Wen Yu snapped back to awareness.

The enormous light ball in front had shrunk by more than ninety percent, leaving behind a football-sized light cluster, still stubbornly emitting dim white light.

Conversely, at this moment, Wen Yu’s Soul Body was radiating intense soul energy fluctuations and a striking, dazzling white light.

The transfer of soul energy was straightforward—the soul energy from the light ball was nearly intactly absorbed by Wen Yu!

”I…”

With just one word, Wen Yu felt a tremendous sound wave and the power of Soul Strike pouring out of his mouth, immediately filling the entire Ground Cave, with soul fluctuations scattering fiercely like a gale, even making the nearby Demon Lord frown.

Wen Yu promptly closed his mouth, but the next second, a tear-like soul pain surged from within the Soul Body.

Wen Yu frowned, yet due to the strange nature of souls and their connection to will, the soul pain that would cause an iron man to lament felt like a mere pinprick for Wen Yu’s Soul Body.

”You’ve consumed too much…”

The Demon Lord nonchalantly stated the fundamental reason for the spectacle before them.

”Now, you need to return to your corporeal form and properly adapt to the surging Soul Power.”

Similarly, the Demon Lord also offered a solution...
