Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

In the distance, Victor, running at full speed, stumbled, and a surge of energy slowly withdrew from his body. Within his perception, the number of times for Reality and Illusion: Nine Lives Resurrection decreased from nine to eight. Victor felt despondency for the death of his boss, but also gratitude...

Grateful that Tang Haofei didn’t deliver a world-ending punch to collapse and destroy the entire Australian Continent.

Even though he had fled an unknown distance, Victor still could not guarantee his survival from the aftermath of Tang Haofei’s attack.

Faceless nearby sensed the change in Victor’s complexion, understanding what had happened. While marveling at why he didn’t have Tang Haofei’s current blood, he pondered the purpose behind their boss redirecting the two pets.

Perhaps he didn’t want to provoke Tang Haofei further in a face-to-face situation—if things could be resolved peacefully, not only Wen Yu but even Wen Yu’s soul pets would prefer not to face Tang Haofei head-on, however, it seems the negotiations have broken down.

With such thoughts, Faceless immediately felt the contract fortune from behind him.

The force pulled on Faceless’s body; as his gaze swept past Victor, he noticed Victor’s figure also becoming ethereal.

The soul realm power was activated, Wen Yu was assembling his soul pets, preparing to face the wrath of the world’s strongest creature head-on with his most formidable stance!

...

Wen Yu didn’t know what it felt like for Tang Haofei’s rebirth, but his first ”resurrection” didn’t feel too bad.

After a heavy punch smashed into his head, Wen Yu was understandably knocked out with a single blow—as estimated, with his arm being grabbed and only less than two meters between them, even if Wen Yu’s physique were increased tenfold, it would be impossible to withstand Tang Haofei’s attack head-on.

Let alone withstand the attack; he couldn’t even activate the Soul Battlefield.

When the headless corpse fell to the ground, Wen Yu’s consciousness didn’t vanish. The pain flashed briefly, afterward, Wen Yu seemed like his soul left his body, observing everything outside from a third-person perspective.

”Let me go to Yanjing and take back what I deserve! In addition, kill a certain old dog who doesn’t know its place...”

Hearing such words from Tang Haofei, Wen Yu drifted above his own corpse, watching Tang Haofei step over his body and walk away, Wen Yu tried to send messages to his soul pets and soul creations while in the death state.

Surprisingly, it actually had an effect...

In an inexplicable perception, the five soul pets he released returned to the soul realm space one by one, and hidden in his chest and shadow, Darkness Puppet and Nightmare quietly left Wen Yu’s corpse under command, stealthily heading in Tang Haofei’s direction along the ground.

Then, his consciousness began to blur. Wen Yu only felt his body ahead subtly blur for a moment, and when the blurring sensation faded, the head on his corpse had regrown, the body was without a wound, merely seeming as if it slept, then a pulling force came, and the drifting consciousness quickly returned to his body through the close bonding of soul and flesh.

The Heaven-covering Robe perfectly masked the newly revived heartbeat sound. Wen Yu lay on the ground and slowly opened his eyes, seeing Tang Haofei still unreactive in the distance, silently sighing with relief.

Being camped on would be disastrous, yet Victor’s Level 6 skill had never been revealed to the world. Wen Yu didn’t talk, and the military would unlikely know the detailed function of Reality and Illusion: Nine Lives, meaning Tang Haofei simply didn’t know he had resurrection-type skills—even if he did, Tang Haofei probably wouldn’t take them seriously.

As the consciousness returned to the body, Wen Yu immediately entered combat readiness.

Entering battle state, augmenting with small soul beast’s 5001 physique points—barely better than nothing, but every bit of strength counts.

2nd Soul Realm augmentation, Ultra Mortal Combat (SSS-Class, Passive Skill).

3rd Soul Realm augmentation, Ancient Dragon’s Wrath (SSS-Class, Passive ability)—solely to immunize against instant death effects.

4th Soul Realm augmentation, Strengthen (A-Class, Passive ability)—thirty percent isn’t much, but given Wen Yu’s and Tang Haofei’s current power contrast, it’s better than nothing.

5th Soul Realm augmentation, Netherworld (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Passive Skill).

As for the 6th Soul Realm—Luo Luo didn’t have any skills to augment.

Having done all this, Wen Yu sighed before sitting up. Within his soul space, Wen Yu’s soul body grasped the skill light orbs floating around his body and merged them into his soul body, incidentally catching Tang Haofei’s attention not far away.

The departing footsteps paused slightly, afterwards, Tang Haofei looked back at the intact Wen Yu, raising his eyebrows.

”Resurrection-type skill? Hmm, makes sense, someone like you would indeed secure some resurrection skills and items as life-saving ace cards.”

Tang Haofei stroked his chin, concluding, then indifferently stated his stance.

”I’ve killed you once, and you’ve already paid a price for disrespecting me earlier. Now, I still believe you qualify to share this world with me, my stance remains unchanged; as long as you help me eliminate Lin Haifeng, the African Continent is yours, and we stay out of each other’s way—what do you say?”

”Eliminate Lin Haifeng?”

”Similar to a test of loyalty, hmm, I know you really want to do this too, don’t you?”

”Indeed...”

Soul Battlefield...
