Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Wen Yu stood in the center of the abyss, pondering deeply, seemingly indifferent to the passage of time, until his body suddenly trembled, and he looked up abruptly, his face showing an expression of astonishment.

Because just moments ago, Reality and Illusion: Nine Lives had been triggered — remaining resurrection attempts, six times!

Faceless is dead!

...

Time rewinds ten minutes earlier, the battle between Faceless, the human model, and the black cloth monster was still ongoing.

The fight remained Faceless attacking, while the two Demon Tribe powerful experts defended. After undergoing over ten minutes of fierce bombing, Faceless used the Dream Come True Skill System to continually strengthen his own power, pushing his strength to an extreme — even using Dream Come True again would only amplify his physical quality by a fraction.

Based on the power demonstrated during the first encounter, Faceless could easily send them to hell; however, the reality was that the battle situation still hadn’t changed noticeably.

They hadn’t exhausted all effort — an obvious inference.

At the moment this inference arose, Faceless wanted to retreat. Continuing to tangle with them wouldn’t be very effective, and it would be better to meet up with his boss — together, dealing with these two opponents would undoubtedly be much easier.

However, just as Faceless had the thought of retreating, the human model and black cloth monster suddenly shifted from defense to attack. The threads of the human model flew everywhere, quickly spreading to the edge of the battlefield, while the black cloth monster mobilized a large amount of Power of Space to interfere with Faceless’s retreat.

In response, Faceless simply chuckled. If he wished to leave, with what the human model and black cloth monster exhibited, they truly couldn’t keep him.

The mental connection stretched out to send — once reaching his boss, a mere thought from Wen Yu could pull Faceless back to the Soul Realm space, countless experiences had told Faceless that the recall power of the Soul Realm space couldn’t be intercepted, it was unstoppable...

Yet the problem didn’t arise in the Soul Realm space; rather, it appeared in the spiritual fluctuation sent out!

The spiritual fluctuation sent out seemed to hit a resilient barrier, and at first contact, Faceless’s spiritual fluctuation vanished into nothingness. Faceless paused slightly, and then saw a figure slowly flying in from a distance.

Over two meters tall, with a body covered in pitch-black scales, sporadic black mist emanating from the figure, shrouding him in obscurity, making it hard for others to see his face.

Suddenly, two pale white points of light shot from the black mist, these points seemed to be the figure’s gaze, which swept over Faceless. As the perception ability was released grandly, Faceless’s heart sank immediately.

That wasn’t normal perception ability, but rather extremely skilled soul perception...

A Level 11 soul master!

After perceiving Faceless, this demon fiend looked at the human model and black cloth monster, then spoke.

”This is fake, a creature with a rather special existence state, not the intruder himself.”

A simple sentence exposed Faceless completely, leaving the human model and black cloth monster shocked — turns out their fighting was against a counterfeit.

Shock flashed away, and the black cloth monster spoke first.

”Although not the target of the mission, this guy’s power is decent enough, let’s leave him be, Ross.”

The demon fiend named Ross showed no indication, he slowly raised his hands, and in the next moment, Faceless sensed some kind of change in the surrounding space.

...

Like soaking in water, the air became viscous, Faceless immediately felt breathing difficult, as if someone was blocking his throat and nostrils.

The scene before him swiftly blurred, and an enormous pressure like tides surged in his head. Faceless vaguely saw Ross slightly frown.

”Just copied physical strength, didn’t copy soul strength? You, this guy, are quite interesting...”

In the next moment, the scene before him shattered completely, Faceless only felt an immense soul pressure enveloping his mind, followed by tearing and mixing; instantly, Faceless’s soul was shredded by a great force, his floating body dropping vertically, and before hitting the ground, Faceless’s Perfect Duplication failed, revealing his dough-like form again.

This was a direct attack on the soul. Unfortunately, Faceless’s soul strength was negligible!

An instant kill was inevitable. Seeing Faceless without life, Ross eagerly flew forward, seeming interested in studying Faceless’s corpse, but before Ross approached, Faceless’s lifeless form twitched once more.

Reality and Illusion: Nine Lives takes effect! Faceless resurrects!

And Wen Yu, sensing something amiss, decisively activated Soul Realm space, pulling Faceless back from the battlefield.

In Ross’s eyes, he only saw purple light flashing around Faceless, and the next second, Faceless disappeared with a purple talisman seal, Ross paused, watching the dissipating purple light ahead, and after a long time, he spoke in a low voice.

”Soul Master...”

...

Having returned to Soul Realm space, Faceless immediately reported all the causes and effects to Wen Yu.

Upon hearing the appearance of a new soul-type powerful expert, Wen Yu frowned immediately.

Knowing the intensity of the Soul Skill System, Wen Yu understood well that the soul’s power lay not in high physical quality or soul strength, but in the bizarre and varied skills.

Silently, enemy’s memories could be altered, desires drawn out, or even directly attacking the soul to achieve a certain level of instant death effect.

Faceless’s Perfect Duplication appeared powerful on the surface, yet the soul was indeed the greatest weakness, Perfect Duplication could only copy physical quality and skills, but the soul itself still belonged to Faceless. Consequently, even if Faceless used Perfect Duplication to copy Wen Yu, the soul strength remained Faceless’s — a pitiful value of just Peak Level 7...

Soul-type powerful experts inherently suppress Faceless, which Wen Yu fully knew. However, when Wen Yu asked for more detailed information about Faceless’s enemies, Faceless hesitated and couldn’t give clear answers.

With known soul master Ross’s skill system as soul-based, and nothing else clear, during prolonged encounters with the human model and black cloth monster, Faceless only roughly knew their physical quality and skill system, specifics remained unclear.

Despite seemingly intense battles, the deserved intelligence wasn’t acquired, and instead a life was lost... To this, Wen Yu didn’t blame Faceless, yet he thought of a problem.

While the exploration of secrets reaps substantial rewards, the immediate threats cannot be underestimated — though the manpower deployed by the Demon Palace Security Bureau is not vast, it poses a significant threat to Wen Yu!
