Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

The Demon Spirit knew the way, and the duo’s target was clear - the very bottom layer where the Origin Pool was located.

Adding to that, the two of them were indeed much stronger than Wen Yu, which made their actions throughout this journey stealthy and extremely safe! It was an infiltration much like a textbook example.

However, they still got exposed...

The issue did not stem from Black River Sovereign and the Demon Spirit’s true body but rather from the carbon copy sent out by the Demon Spirit.

The Demon Spirit didn’t specify the exact reason, and Black River Sovereign only felt bewildered, unclear of the situation. In Black River Sovereign’s memory, he just felt that their speed of action was extremely fast, from rushing from basement level 114 to over level 300, and then it was the pursuit and interception by the Demon Palace Security Bureau.

The entire process seemed so natural, yet it felt so strange...

After the Demon Palace Security Bureau made its move, the duo’s actions went from covert stealth to outright bold, with fragmented combat scenes beginning to appear in the memory.

Instant kill... instant kill... and another instant kill...

Even among the bottom rank of the Demon Clan Army’s Topmost 7-Member Council, Black River Sovereign’s power far exceeded that of the Level 11 Demon Tribe from the Demon Palace Security Bureau. He and the Demon Spirit crashed through the battlefield like two tanks, rampant and unrestrained. Initially, Black River Sovereign was worried that the Demon Lord might step in to deal with the two intruders, but mid way through their unopposed advance across a city, he realized the Demon Lord had no control over what was happening here.

His courage grew, as did the speed of their movements. He even thought the Demon Palace was nothing special, his craving for power destroying his rationality. Just like this, Black River Sovereign and the Demon Spirit made it to their current location.

Demon Palace Basement Level 911.

...

The memory slowed here, and Wen Yu could see before Black River Sovereign were demon tribes with extremely strong energy fluctuations all over, numbering over a hundred large and small, and standing before them were only Black River Sovereign and the Demon Spirit.

But it was not Black River Sovereign and the Demon Spirit who were afraid, but their opponents.

A faint green airflow covered the sky, blocking out the sun and moon, corroding the air and assimilating everything, and Black River Sovereign, the instigator, just coldly smiled at the enemies ahead and after a moment said, ”Is this the last wave? Once I slaughter all of you, this Demon Palace Security Bureau probably won’t be able to send anyone anymore.”

The murderous intent was relentless and filled with confidence! As soon as Black River Sovereign spoke, the Level 11 powerful experts of the Demon Palace Security Bureau opposite him shivered, retreating a step back in dread.

In the face of death, no one is nobler.

”Tsk...”

Black River Sovereign sneered disdainfully, then lightly waved his hand.

The green airflow curtain in the air suddenly descended, enveloping the experts from the security bureau, immediately emitting sizzling and crackling sounds, cries of anguish echoed unceasingly, and seeing this scene, Black River Sovereign suddenly felt a tingle of pride.

Just like when facing the Almighty Immortal Emperor before, the pleasure of holding someone’s life and death in his hands was so intoxicating!

The powerful experts of the Demon Palace Security Bureau had no means to fight back under Black River Sovereign’s hand, the green curtain covering them, continuously eroding their Origin Energy and Physical Strength, they could only watch their comrades fall to the ground like dumplings, unable to do anything to Black River Sovereign.

Until the instigator of all this - Black River Sovereign suddenly let out a wretched scream!

From Black River Sovereign’s perspective, Wen Yu could see him first turn his head towards the Demon Spirit, then look at his own chest where a sharp short sword had penetrated all defenses, stabbing directly in, and continuously emitting some peculiar energy.

This energy eroded Black River Sovereign’s body, making him feel weaker and more powerless, until he fiercely launched a counterattack against the Demon Spirit, shooting a stream of green energy towards the Demon Spirit, only to be flicked away by the Demon Spirit easily.

”You... you...”

Confronted with the sudden betrayal of a teammate, Black River Sovereign stammered ”you” for a long time, not knowing what to say, the sword seemed to pierce through all of Black River Sovereign’s barriers, letting him instantly realize the irregularities of his recent behavior.

”You set me up?”

In a fury, Black River Sovereign roared and attacked the Demon Spirit, but the power displayed by the Demon Spirit at this moment was terrifying!

The air froze instantly, those powerful experts from the Demon Palace Security Bureau who survived Black River Sovereign’s hand floated in midair like puppets without taking any action, Black River Sovereign only felt a great pressure hitting him and in a short time suppressed all his resistance capabilities.

”How can you say it’s a setup?”

The Demon Spirit chuckled softly, ”I just fulfilled my promise... didn’t you want power? Then I’ll give you power!”

With that said, the Demon Spirit snapped its fingers gently, and everything changed.

...

The powerful experts of the Demon Palace Security Bureau in mid-air retreated in a daze, seemingly having completed all their tasks, and at the same time, several figures gradually appeared in the distance — these were the carbon copies released by the Demon Spirit after infiltrating the Demon Palace.

The two groups did not interfere with each other, the experts from the Demon Palace Security Bureau retreated into the distance, while the Demon Spirit’s carbon copies flew towards the Demon Spirit, until they returned to the Demon Spirit, then spoke.

”All Origin Energy from Satsu Maya has been fully extracted, without any trouble.”

Black River Sovereign merely lay on the ground, unable to move, listening to the discussion of several Demon Spirits until the main body of the Demon Spirit spoke.

”This guy, is the body I found for you, see if you’re satisfied?”

Black River Sovereign’s heart skipped a beat, he barely lifted his head to look at several Demon Spirits...

One of them walked leisurely to Black River Sovereign’s side, grabbed his hair, and pulled him from the ground, scrutinizing Black River Sovereign’s body as if examining goods, after a moment, finally spoke.

”A little ugly, but the power is not bad, and the status is decent, well, for now this will do.”

With that said, this Demon Spirit carbon copy directly raised its hand and instantaneously pierced its arm into Black River Sovereign’s chest.

Powerful Origin Energy continually fused into Black River Sovereign’s body, making him feel his consciousness beginning to blur, as he lifted his head only to see the indifferent silhouettes of several Demon Spirits.

”You...”

His voice grew weaker, his struggle before death seemed so fragile and powerless in front of this Demon Spirit carbon copy, and facing Black River Sovereign’s final query, this Demon Spirit carbon copy merely smiled.

”Remember me?”

The mist swirling around this Demon Spirit carbon copy began to gradually dissipate, and when the Demon Spirit’s full appearance was revealed, Black River Sovereign’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Because the Demon Spirit had no physical form, it was merely a mass of energy.

This energy pulsed with a kaleidoscope of colors, saturated with immense Origin Energy, and Black River Sovereign had never seen such powerful Origin Energy...

No, he had seen it before!

”World... Consciousness...”

”Correct, remember what happened a while ago? The destruction of Satsu Maya’s grand world by you guys... Well that was my body... But none of that matters now, for I have a new name...”

”I am called the Demon Spirit, also Black River Sovereign, and you should feel honored, for from now on, you will merge with us, becoming a part of this magnificent existence, oh right, didn’t you want power?”

”If Level 11 isn’t enough for you, then how about Level 12?”

Consciousness dissipated, the memory broke off.
