Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Until the rumbling above gradually subsided and everything returned to calm, only then did Tang One wait expectantly for what was to come.

Whether Wen Yu won or lost would determine the fate of the three Tang Haofeis... and even the direction of the whole world!

Fortunately, Wen Yu did not make Tang Haofei wait long. As a black energy wave pierced through the earth and directly reached the inside of the cell, in the next second, darkness floated out, and Wen Yu’s figure gradually appeared in the darkness.

He looked at the three Tang Haofeis, whose clothes were tattered and exuding a foul smell, and lightly raised his eyebrows.

”You really are quite a sight...”

Tang Three responded to Wen Yu with a cry of ”ho-ho” — truly, at this time Tang Three’s roaring didn’t have the usual creepiness, but instead had a sense of joyous celebration...

Well, actually, he was just unconsciously roaring, if it weren’t for the several large iron chains hanging behind him, Wen Yu thought he would surely come up and bite him.

Tang One exchanged a smile with Wen Yu and then slumped his shoulders, relaxing completely.

”Thankfully... thankfully...”

...

”Did you really win? How did you win?”

Tang One completely relaxed, as if a major issue had been resolved, whereas Tang Two looked incredulous—he was stronger than Tang One, and naturally, when that monster appeared, he stood at the forefront, so nobody understood the monster’s formidable power better than he did.

”Just hit and win.”

Wen Yu responded indifferently. To be honest, being able to take down the Tang Haofei above was not considered something commendable in Wen Yu’s eyes—the Old Tang, in terms of actual strength, might not be worth mentioning compared to the mannequins in the Demon Palace or the black cloth monster duo, let alone Ross. This kind of power obtained purely through stacking physical qualities was regarded by Wen Yu as the easiest opponent to resolve.

With numerous skills, several powerful skill systems, when it came to boosting physical qualities, Wen Yu truly feared no one!

The troublesome ones were those like Ross with an entire set of bizarre skill systems, and opponents with ultimate deadly weapons—in such situations, Wen Yu could easily end up flipping the situation if not careful.

Ignoring the shocked expression on Tang Two’s face, Wen Yu looked at the three Tang Haofeis within the cell, inhaled the foul smell of the cell, and after a while, he finally spoke.

”Let’s go up first, I think you should take a shower... then we have a lot to discuss.”

”What about that guy?”

The guy Tang One referred to was undoubtedly the Tang Haofei from earlier. Facing this question, Wen Yu merely pointed upward.

”Waiting for you up there.”

...

Tang One and Tang Two did not pay attention to Tang Three—the beast was best kept trapped underground.

The two followed Wen Yu and flew straight upwards until all three pierced through the bottom and burst out of the ground, greeted by warm sunlight and the surrounding desolate land.

The once lush World of the Heart’s Image, filled with grassy incense and abundant trees, had long been torn apart by the fight between Wen Yu and Tang Haofei to a state of utter destruction. Although the battle generally seemed one-sided, Wen Yu voluntarily controlled his power output, but Tang Haofei did not. In other words, most of this mess was courtesy of Tang Haofei, and naturally, cleaning it up should also be handed to Tang Haofei.

Once the small cabin had been entirely destroyed by the battle’s aftermath, now replaced by a black cocoon, it stood abruptly there, as if some living thing inside was constantly stimulating the interior. Under the curious gaze of Tang One and Tang Two, Wen Yu lightly snapped his fingers, and with the sound, the cocoon’s tip suddenly dissipated, revealing Tang Haofei’s hideous and frightening face!

”Wen Yu!!! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!!!”

Old Tang, now sealed in the cocoon, had long lost the calm arrogance of before. He now wore a malevolent face, like a spiteful unfulfilled woman, with crimson eyes full of killing intent, lacking the slightest glimmer of spiritual wisdom.

”Actually, it’s quite strange, this guy put on quite a show for me before the fight and babbled on a great deal, seemingly a person with normal logical thinking. Yet now he’s somewhat like Tang Three.”

Since being defeated and sealed, this encapsulated Tang Haofei never begged for mercy, negotiated, communicated, or promised benefits, but instead struggled constantly like a battle maniac, even if it meant his own death, he would try to take a bite out of Wen Yu.

Even now with the situation settled, Tang Haofei’s condition only intensified, making normal communication efforts increasingly difficult.

Confronted with Wen Yu’s question, Tang One could only sigh, looking at the sealed Tang Haofei, his eyes flickering with complex emotion, and after a moment, he finally spoke.

”I should take a shower first and then we should talk properly.”

...

Tang One and Tang Two sorted their personal issues quickly, and the once shattered cabin was rebuilt completely with their combined effort.

This was merely a reflection world of the Heart’s Image, so as its master, Tang Haofei could achieve whatever he desired—as long as it doesn’t affect reality, the rest was akin to a dream come true.

As the cabin was completed, the three sat down again inside, the old Tang sealed in the courtyard continued to clamor endlessly. Listening to this annoyed Wen Yu, he decisively reinforced the seal to silence him, and now finally, the world quieted down.

After Tang One remained silent for a moment, he began to describe what had occurred to him.

”Tang Three was the problem!”

The first sentence pointed out the core of the issue.

”When I awoke from slumber, I realized my own power was gradually weakening, while Tang Two remained at his peak. When Tang Three first appeared, his true strength was not too different from Tang Two, allowing us two to jointly suppress and seal him, but after the second Sequence Member-Ranking Battle, I realized the cost of power had become irreversible; even if I no longer use Life and Death Battle Execution, the power continued weakening.”

”The same went for Tang Two, but conversely, Tang Three’s power instead escalated, all of this transpired at a drawn-out pace. When I wanted to find you to solve this issue, you were no longer on Earth, so it was put on hold.”

”Until about three years ago when Tang Three began to exhibit some unique responses...”

Hearing these words, Wen Yu was momentarily stunned—this sounded quite like what the earlier Tang Haofei mentioned...

Not knowing about the previous conversations, Tang One continued speaking.

”Tang Three developed spiritual wisdom, he was even able to communicate with us, generating an immense sense of threat for both us, forced us to reinforce the seal and remain alert. Yet this still couldn’t resist the disparity in strength—until one day Tang Three broke through our seal and killed both me and Tang Two within the Heart’s Image world, then everything spiraled out of control!”
