Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Retracting the Boundary Cracking Device, Wen Yu took a step across the inter-dimensional passage, and the scene before him instantly shifted.

The air was filled with overwhelming Demonic Qi, and a foul stench pierced directly into his nostrils. Meanwhile, Wen Yu vaguely noticed that this world... seemed to be like a dying person, exuding a thick aura of twilight.

A world on the brink of death.

Even though he had heard Bai describe the state of the Demon Realm as not being ideal, seeing it firsthand, Wen Yu realized that ”not ideal” was an understatement; it was utterly abysmal!

This is not a world where living beings can survive—except for professionists, slightly weaker creatures have no right to be born here at all!

After perceiving the hidden messages in the air, Wen Yu finally took the time to scrutinize the surrounding space.

This was a pure black great hall, with no source of light whatsoever. Although dark, Wen Yu still managed to take everything in at a glance in a short time.

No traps, no malice, and similarly, no living beings.

Until footsteps echoed from afar, following which an aura abruptly intruded into Wen Yu’s perception range.

”Physical fitness over 100,000, demon spawn, Level 8...”

An elite among Level 8, a weakling in Wen Yu’s eyes.

”My lord!”

Surprisingly, the Demon Creature that came here had no malice toward Wen Yu. He simply bowed his head and cupped his hands toward Wen Yu, while posing a ’please’ gesture.

And Wen Yu, too, showed no signs of surprise.

Everything was pre-planned, arranged by Bai, so the ownership of this place was obvious...

This was the foundation laid by Ye Nan and Bai in the Demon Realm.

”Lead the way.”

Wen Yu spoke expressionlessly.

...

Crisp footsteps echoed through the corridor as Wen Yu walked, observing his surroundings.

He was underground, but now moving upward. From the overall layout, this should be a large-scale castle. The murmurs and life aura resonating from afar brought a knowing smile to Wen Yu’s face.

These two fellows seemed to mix well in the Demon Realm, establishing their stronghold within the Demon Tribe’s city, even possibly occupying the largest castle, then this identity...

Presumably something akin to a City Lord.

With Ye Nan’s profession traits, it’s not impossible for Bai to achieve this.

As they ascended, the murmurs grew louder, various Demon Realm Languages flooding into Wen Yu’s ears. Judging simply, the population residing here should not be less than a hundred million, and the number of Level 10 powerful experts was simply staggering.

Through a glimpse of the whole, Wen Yu had roughly estimated the overall strength of the Demon Tribe.

Until the Demons leading the way passed through the courtyard, arriving before a giant doorway, then he smiled and pointed inside for Wen Yu, indicating they had arrived.

Wen Yu nodded and then pushed open the great door.

The door, akin to steel, was heavy, and the material contained a substance capable of blocking Perception Ability. With the cold touch, a series of creaking sounds echoed from the door. Subsequently, the aura within was immediately captured by Wen Yu...

”One Level 11 powerful expert, six Level 10 Breakthrough Achievers, along with Ye Nan and Bai...”

Obvious intel, and by reaching this point, Wen Yu finally eased his mind—the pre-planned strategies proposed by Bai were flawless.

As the door fully opened, Wen Yu entered the room. He surveyed his surroundings, first focusing on the Level 11 demon fiend seated next to Ye Nan.

It was a bug-like monster amplified countless times over. The carapace was covered with fierce barbs, eight abdominal feet hidden beneath the carapace, six eyes on its head flickering with eerie green light, and a nearly 30-meter-long giant dragon tail trailing behind its body.

”I am Leoja... on behalf of my lord, welcome Lord Sequence Number 1 to my city...”

Demon Realm, Desolate Border, City Lord of the First City, not belonging to the Demon Clan Army, not part of the Demon Palace, merely a refugee, yet undeniably an Eleventh Level Old Monster.

Though it looks somewhat peculiar...

Wen Yu just nodded slightly, then looked at Ye Nan and Bai.

After a moment of silence, Bai sighed and said, ”You came too early, I haven’t completed some preparations here.”

”I had no choice, I didn’t even use Earth’s will to notify the Dominator, yet the Dominator already spotted the anomaly and had people investigate me. Coming here so early, I had no other options.”

Wen Yu’s words carried no nuance of helplessness—although without the supply from the tiered battle ground trading network, his power growth might slow down, but this was only temporary. After resolving his own hidden dangers, Wen Yu planned to return to Earth.

Moreover, after a battle, Wen Yu’s exploration of the uses of Truth and Illusion. Reality Shift exploded with more ideas—this skill is not just for combat support, but for Wen Yu, it was a Limit Breaking Ability!

It might not achieve a permanent tenfold enhancement, yet Wen Yu could specify the numbers. An increase of ten thousand or eighteen thousand in physical fitness limit would merely require one Photosynthetic Spirit Motif.

Such enhancement speed is absolutely terrifying, and with this skill combination, all Wen Yu needed was time, with sufficient time, Wen Yu could accumulate his foundation to an unattainable level for others!

Furthermore, Wen Yu was a lone wolf, with a soul pet in the Soul Realm space, everywhere was home, wasn’t it?

”Moreover, the Dominator is not on Earth, that’s the root of my intactness.”

Hearing this, Bai hesitated slightly before nodding, although with a slightly bitter expression—who knows what he was bitter about...

It was still Ye Nan who took over the conversation.

”Alright, alright, since Lord Wen Yu is here as a guest, Filna, serve the dishes, prepare the banquet, let’s drink first today!”

Upon hearing this, a Level 10 Breakthrough Demon Creature seated at the back stood up and left, while Wen Yu’s gaze flickered.

This was an Ancient Demon, with a few simple movements, Wen Yu had already estimated the Demon Creature’s general strength—the physical fitness might be in the tens of millions... This Ye Nan, seemed to have been underestimated all along, the growth potential of the Avenging Spirit profession was really something monstrous.

Ye Nan carried a cheerful demeanor—this fellow on Earth seemed like Bai’s subordinate, yet in the Demon Realm, haha, he truly had backing!

Controlling the City Lord of a city, who is a Level 11 Old Monster, with a large number of subordinates, why should he be afraid of anything? Even if the Demon Clan Army knew of Ye Nan’s existence, they wouldn’t want to mess with this guy.

And Wen Yu merely expressionlessly accepted Ye Nan’s goodwill—the past enmities between the two were entirely hidden within their hearts.

A compromise sourced from interests...

Ye Nan arranged seats for Wen Yu, and it wasn’t long before Filna returned with a large group of various Demon Tribe attendants. They carried various biological tissue on their hands, some slightly pulsating as if still alive.

These were the Demon Tribe’s dishes, and judging by Ye Nan’s satisfied expression, hmm, this should be a lavish feast.

Although Wen Yu felt somewhat disgusted.

With the dishes served, the atmosphere became a lot livelier, and Wen Yu, through simple observation, could tell that even though Ye Nan’s strength appeared immensely strong, he was still very respectful to Bai... who knows how Bai managed that.
