Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Tang Haofei’s destination wasn’t far; it was right in the woodshed of the courtyard. Hmm, three steps to the left after exiting...

Thus, when Wen Yu finally figured it out, he had already arrived at the destination.

Here, the expressions of Tang One and Tang Two immediately became much more solemn. The two exchanged a glance, and Tang Two walked to the woodshed door and forcefully pulled open the wooden door.

Immediately, Wen Yu tiptoed to peer inside but saw only some chopped firewood until Tang Two stepped inside and groped around on the floor twice, promptly retrieving an iron chain.

”Creak creak~~~”

With Tang Two’s exertion, a sharp screeching sound echoed; a plank was pulled back by Tang Two, revealing the dark pit beneath.

”Let’s go.”

Tang Two said, leading the way inside, followed closely by Tang One and Wen Yu.

...

Torches were lit on both sides of the cave, illuminating it fairly well. However, it wasn’t long before Wen Yu saw the iron bars at the end.

There was no light beyond the iron bars, but Wen Yu could barely make out a figure quietly sitting on the ground.

The figure seemed somewhat like Tang Haofei... or rather, it was exactly Tang Haofei’s likeness. At this moment, the figure inside the bars had its head drooped, seemingly asleep on the ground.

Seeing this, Wen Yu immediately squinted, glancing at the? two Tang Haofei standing with solemn faces.

”So, how should I address that guy? Tang Three?”

Hearing this, Tang One nodded: ”It’s Tang Three!”

Then, Tang One retrieved a torch from his side and led the way toward the iron bars.

...

Not until he approached did Wen Yu thoroughly scrutinize Tang Three’s appearance.

Hmm, his hair disheveled, completely naked, looking much like an uncivilized savage, his body exuding an intensely strong murderous intent and beastly nature, resembling a powder keg about to explode!

”Settle!”

”Settle!”

The word ”settle” sounded nearly simultaneously as the power of the True Words surged from the mouths of Tang One and Tang Two, then flowed off two people and directly hit the iron bars in front.

The iron bars flickered twice, then returned to their dull gray appearance. However, the power of True Words had been imbued. After doing these, Tang One and Tang Two finally sighed in relief, and Tang One turned to Wen Yu, saying with a bitter expression.

”Honestly, we underestimated the price of power. Initially, I also thought that the appearance of Tang Two was the ultimate manifestation of the power’s price, but then this thing showed up...”

After finishing the statement, Tang Haofei lightly patted the iron bars in front, a crisp knocking sound echoed, much like the starting gun in a stadium, and in the next moment, Wen Yu felt the scene in front blur, and then immediately, a large face of Tang Haofei appeared before him!

”Roar... Roar!!”

A beast-like roar sounded, a fierce sound explosion cloud blowing against the bars, causing the iron bars to emit sounds of strain. At this moment, Tang Three behind the bars was drooling, his eyes rolled back. He opened his mouth wide, rancid breath spewing, causing Wen Yu to wrinkle his brow.

This was hardly like a person.

...

After ten minutes, perhaps having roared himself tired, Tang Three finally calmed down, sparing the pitiful iron bars further destruction, and during this process, Tang One and Tang Two invoked nearly a hundred True Words!

A tremendous effort, Wen Yu could almost imagine what kind of days these two fellows must experience in the World of the Heart’s Image.

Every day at least one person stands watch around the cellar, replenishing the sealing power of the True Words.

When Tang Three finally calmed, Tang One spoke again.

”During the time at the Heavenly Palace, I died five times consecutively, and then Tang Two appeared. And during the battle over the Origin Extraction Device, Tang Two died six times consecutively, then was sealed by you.”

”Actually, during that period, my power compared to Tang Two’s had already become feeble, but somehow external forces would replenish my losses and awaken my consciousness, so after falling into a slumber for two years, I awoke again and saw Tang Two.”

Tang One finished speaking, turned his head to look at Tang Two, who simply stared gravely at Tang Three, not minding this topic at all.

Tang One continued: ”At that time, both our powers were almost equivalent, and both understood it was meaningless to fight any longer. Thus, we jointly created this World of the Heart’s Image as a pastime during our long slumber. In fact, we had already resigned ourselves to being sealed for hundreds of years, or even a lifetime like this. Yet, just when the World of the Heart’s Image was completed, Tang Three appeared...”

As Tang Haofei spoke, he seemed to sink into some great terror.

”This guy has no conscious thought; he destructively destroys everything around him with the instinct of a beast. This even includes me and Tang Two. Facing such a beast that knows only brutal slaughter, Tang Two and I realized the danger and jointly suppressed and sealed him. Hmm, in the World of the Heart’s Image, death does not exist, but afterward, we realized the tricky nature of this situation.”

Tang Haofei said this, then chuckled bitterly.

”You understand the cost of power; this thing is very troublesome—a single body with multiple consciousnesses. Furthermore, with more resurrections, the original consciousness gets gradually devoured by the subsequent ones, like when I almost completely disappeared initially with Tang Two, but for unknown reasons got awakened again. However, I guess this method is certainly not a long-term solution, so...”

Tang One gestured to Tang Three behind the bars.

”We simply have no way to handle this guy, and it’s foreseeable that with the Life and Death Battle Execution taking effect again, his power will continue to grow stronger while ours will weaken, until Tang Three fully controls my body. Undoubtedly, at that time, with my power, I will be capable of destroying everything in this world!”

”I need your help...”

Hearing this, Wen Yu squinted, looking toward Tang Three.

Undoubtedly, waking Tang One’s power must be Lin Haifeng’s doing, but as Tang One said, the cost of this must be substantial; it might supplement Tang One’s loss at most but could not affect Tang Two. Even now, although Tang One appears perfectly intact, once the Life and Death Battle Execution takes effect again, the situation will still revert to its original state.

Additionally, now Tang Three has appeared...

Alright, with Tang Two, you can still exchange some words, but Tang Three, what can you discuss with a beast? Yet, this beast wields the world’s strongest power.

Now this is a problem...
