Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

There was once a legend in the Universe of Immortals and Heroes.

According to the legend, hidden in the tenth floor of the Heavenly Palace in Outer Space, there are countless treasures, a self-contained cycle of reincarnation, and a power that can isolate the Dominator’s probe, capable of preserving the last spark for the Universe of Immortals and Heroes in the most critical moment.

The specifics of this legend’s origin cannot be verified, but, just like every legend has a prototype, the legend about the Outer Space of the Heavenly Palace, its prototype is undoubtedly the Heavenly Ancient God Palace where Wen Yu currently resides!

However, after already being in the Ancient God Palace and knowing the memories of the Heavenly Dao, Wen Yu could only scoff at such claims.

A power that can isolate the Dominator and preserve the last spark for the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, why wasn’t it used earlier?

So, legend is just legend, reality is forever reality — legend is useless, reality is the true father! And the biggest reality placed before Wen Yu is undoubtedly the items within the Ancient God Palace!

Wen Yu firmly believes that the Almighty Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Dao would leave him some ”inheritance”.

...

Wen Yu slowly walked into the pavilion.

The interior environment of the pavilion, overall, is like a two-story villa, but, without furnishings.

On the first floor, aside from the four walls and a stairway to the second floor, there is merely a monument-like object emitting a dim light.

Wen Yu took a few steps forward, glanced at the stone monument with an unknown material, then placed his hand on it.

Everything about the Heavenly Ancient God Palace was transmitted to Wen Yu’s mind in the form of spiritual fluctuations.

...

The entire Ancient God Palace has a total area of only about 2000 square meters, but aside from this pavilion with a footprint of only 100 square meters, the rest are ”non-utilizable areas”.

It’s not absolutely unusable, but the usability is limited to something like ”going for a stroll”, and the pavilion is about the same, but there are formations left by the Almighty Immortal Emperor in the pavilion, making it a livable area without being enveloped by fog.

And the stone monument located at the center of the pavilion is roughly equivalent to the control center of the Ancient God Palace.

From the descriptions above, the Ancient God Palace seems tantamount to an independent space capable of holding living things, somewhat akin to things like a space ring, but how could a supreme treasure developed over decades by the Almighty Immortal Emperor be so simple?

According to the stone monument, the original intent of the Almighty Immortal Emperor was to build the Ancient God Palace into a mobile palace capable of space manipulation, but this idea failed.

The Ancient God Palace couldn’t break through the world’s lock after all!

The spiritual fluctuations transmitted from the stone monument made Wen Yu aware of the three major functions of the Ancient God Palace.

First, is the residential function.

With the key to the Ancient God Palace, Wen Yu can enter the Ancient God Palace anytime, anywhere, which does serve as a ”home” for Wen Yu, who often finds himself sleeping in the wilderness. Of course, this home awaits renovation…

Secondly, is the function of concealment and mobility.

As long as Wen Yu is in the Ancient God Palace, he can manipulate the Ancient God Palace to move freely. The manipulation method is simple, just place your hand on the stone monument. Additionally, the Ancient God Palace can roam freely between the dimensional space and the real world, with extremely fast mobility! While in the Ancient God Palace, Wen Yu can even observe the outside scenery through the stone monument.

Although this is similar to the Eternal Sky City, the smaller size of the Ancient God Palace allows for faster mobility. Comparatively, its functionalities are pathetically inferior to the Eternal Sky City.

It’s just unfortunate that with the ability of Soul Leave Body, Wen Yu isn’t afraid of others’ perception, combined with the Netherworld…

After a brief introspection, Wen Yu suddenly found that this ability, seemingly, is of no use to him.

However, the third function did make Wen Yu’s eyes light up.

The third function of the Ancient God Palace, and also its main function, lies in breaking the ban!

It can break all kinds of restrictive forces!

Including but not limited to space lock, barriers, dimensional isolation, and any other similar restrictive phenomena, the Ancient God Palace can easily break them. In other words, as long as Wen Yu is in the Ancient God Palace, there can be no seal or barrier that can imprison him.

”Finally, something good…”

Wen Yu praised, and then got so angry at the content that followed, he almost blacked out.

Each activation of the Ancient God Palace requires different energy consumption depending on the function used—the specifics are as follows: Mobility: every 100 meters consumes one third-level magic crystal, Breaking the ban: consumption varies based on the strength of the restriction, Dimensional travel: consumes ten level 10 magic crystals each time…

”Damn it…”

Wen Yu unhesitatingly cursed, ”I’m not so rich as to burn money like this!”

...

Retracting his hand from the stone monument, Wen Yu scanned the Ancient God Palace once more, then gently shook his head after a while.

This Ancient God Palace only looks good, but without the ability to penetrate planets and escape to the outside, its rank drops from a starship to a high-speed motorhome. Well, at least the ability to break barriers is useful, which ensures Wen Yu won’t get trapped to death in some place due to certain means, and that’s all it is.

Thinking of this, Wen Yu no longer paid attention to the dispensable Ancient God Palace, and directly walked toward the second floor of the pavilion.

...

Stepping on the soft material stairs, Wen Yu slowly walked up to the second floor.

The environment on the second floor, aside from lacking the control center of the Ancient God Palace, is not much different from the first floor, only, the content inside…

”There really has been quite a lot left.”

Looking at the dazzling array of scrolls, jade strips, and space rings in front of him, Wen Yu took a deep breath.

He casually picked up a scroll, and the title ”On the 108 Transformational Properties of the Power of Space” immediately entered Wen Yu’s vision.

After flipping through it a bit, Wen Yu put down the scroll and picked up another one…

After a while, Wen Yu shook his head. Most of the content in the scrolls and jade strips all over the second floor were of this kind — Wen Yu immediately understood that the Heavenly Dao had placed the Universe of Immortals and Heroes’ technical knowledge here.

It wasn’t left for him, but for Earth. It served as a ritual for the exchange of old and new, and as a way of inheritance.

However…

Wen Yu slowly put down the scroll in his hand.

Things in his hands, naturally belong to him! Though these things are useless to him, the military certainly craves them. If they want them, they need to pay up.

Besides, the value of these should be much higher than an Esoteric Level skill!

Thinking of this, Wen Yu stepped past the scrolls and jade strips, and picked up a space ring from the ground.

A space ring with ten cubic meters, neatly filled with countless scrolls, packed to the brim. Wen Yu took one out, and a spiritual fluctuation transmitted into Wen Yu’s mind.

”Artifact Refiner Profession-Change Scroll (auxiliary profession).”

”Alright, something to sell for money.”

An Artifact Refiner sounds high and mighty, and indeed is high and mighty — war is primarily about logistics, and the significance of weapons is self-evident.

However, Wen Yu is tied to nothing and no one, a lone wolf, and this so-called Artifact Refiner is of no use to him.

Picking up another space ring from the ground, Wen Yu glanced inside.

”Thousand-fold Refining Iron Technique (A-Class, Active Skills): Exclusive to Artifact Refiners…”

Not only the profession, but the Heavenly Dao also equipped the skills for Artifact Refiners…

...

There are many space rings on the second floor of the pavilion. Wen Yu checked them one by one, finding nothing but the technological knowledge of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, with the rest being pharmaceuticals, profession-change scrolls, and matched skills.

These profession-change scrolls do have a significant characteristic of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, like Artifact Refiners, Alchemists, diviners, Array Masters, Qi Cultivators, etc., although such professions have appeared on Earth, obtaining such a massive scale of profession-change scrolls and matching skills is likely for the first time.

Plus, with the matched ”Big Dipper Array Formation” for Array Masters, the ”Slaying Immortal Sword Array” for sword immortals, the ”Seven Kills Army Combined Attack Technique” for Qi Cultivators, it’s undoubtedly showing the intention of Heavenly Dao — these items aren’t left for individuals, but for the forces on Earth, to be drafted into structured professionist armies.

”Hence, these are worth several Esoteric Level skill scrolls!”

Wen Yu came to a very certain understanding of the value these could bring him.

...

Traversing the vast amount of trade goods, Wen Yu walked until he reached the deepest part of the second floor before he again came to a halt.

Originally concealed by the book mountain, a simple square table appeared in Wen Yu’s vision, quietly carrying two uniquely shaped space rings, causing Wen Yu to exhale a long breath.

”I knew it, Senior Brother wouldn’t leave me without at least a spoonful of soup…”

Wen Yu mumbled while walking toward the table, casually picking up a space ring.

”Space ring (S-class Tool).”

Driving the prompt sound out of his mind, Wen Yu immediately looked at the items inside the space ring, and the next second, Wen Yu’s eyes glimmered like a shark scenting blood in the water.

Greed.

Satisfaction.

Excitement.

Even exhilaration!
