Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Star Shatter Cannon (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Active Skill): Condense all power and unleash the most berserk strike; pure strength that will inevitably bring ultimate destruction!

Note: This skill can only be used once in a short period of time. The length of the cooldown depends on the host’s physical constitution.

A brutally powerful offensive ability—under the situation where the enemy has triple amplification, the user has double weakening, and the Demon Dragon Armor is protecting Faceless, Ibira’s Star Shatter Cannon can still inflict horrifying damage on Faceless. That alone is enough to prove just how terrifying the lethality of this skill really is!

That savage strike made Faceless stagger back involuntarily. He lowered his head in disbelief, staring at the huge wound on his chest and abdomen, then let out a heaven-shaking roar!

This strike had already wounded Faceless at his very core!

...

The Star’s Skill System is primarily defense-oriented, leaning toward Limit Breaking Abilities. The Star’s own Recovery Ability isn’t particularly strong. Now that he was suddenly hit with such a heavy blow, Faceless was instantly dizzy and lightheaded, almost blacking out on the spot.

There’s no need to mention how injuries weaken combat power. Ibira seized this hard-earned opportunity. He once again lunged forward, jaws wide open, trying to swallow the Giant Dragon before him! However, Faceless snapped out of his brief Dizziness almost immediately. He watched Ibira open his mouth wide, trying to swallow him from above, and Faceless barely managed to turn his head to the side, letting Ibira’s massive jaws bite down on his shoulder instead.

A shrill grinding sound rang out as sparks burst from the Giant Dragon’s Scale Armor and then dissipated into the deep sea—seriously wounded, the Demon Dragon Armor’s traits were driven to the extreme. With their physical stats now equal, Ibira found himself facing Faceless in his current state and actually ran into the awkward situation of his attacks failing to break the defense.

Ibira also realized how troublesome this Giant Dragon in front of him was. He loosened his jaws and tried to pull back and open up some distance—the moment it came to close-quarters grappling, Ibira could never be a match for Faceless.

But that motion had only just begun when a thick, stubby claw had already reached Ibira’s waist and abdomen!

This time, Faceless had no reason left to hold back!

...

The Giant Dragon’s sharp talons instantly tore open Ibira’s skin. Having gone through two battles already, the carrier that activated Ibira’s Evil Currents Defense—his slick coating of mucus—had basically been exhausted. With his defense capabilities nullified, Ibira only felt a sharp pain shoot through his body. He forced himself to look back, only to see the thick, stubby Dragon Claw hooked into his body like a metal hook.

Immense force surged from ahead. Faceless roared, pouring massive power into his forelimbs, and in an instant he hauled Ibira in close. With a violent twist, he flipped Ibira’s body a full one hundred eighty degrees. Then that maw full of razor-sharp teeth viciously clamped down on Ibira’s waist!

Even grievously wounded, Faceless’s strength at this moment was still something Ibira could not hope to match.

With blood and flesh exploding and bones snapping, just one bite was enough to tear Ibira’s body cleanly in half. He let out a shrill howl as his upper body thrashed nonstop, and even his lower body, which had lost Control, kept hopping around in place like a living creature.

Faceless ignored Ibira’s lower half. He merely pinned Ibira’s upper body down with his forelimbs, intending to dismantle the prey under him bit by bit, forcing him all the way to some kind of limit.

But he didn’t notice that Wen Yu, watching the whole battlefield from not far away, suddenly had light flare in his eyes!

...

From Wen Yu’s viewpoint, Ibira’s severed lower half kept hopping madly in place. Then, at a certain moment, that octopus-like lower half abruptly stopped twitching.

Immediately, the eight limbs split apart!

One limb silently reattached itself to Ibira’s main body that had lost its lower half, while the other seven limbs rapidly grew like earthworms.

First came the bones, then the flesh and blood, followed by slick skin, until ferocious, terrifying dragon heads sprouted. Before Faceless could even react, those seven limbs had already grown into copies of Ibira!

Originally, Ibira’s tail had eight tentacles. Now, each Ibira only had a single tentacle—that was the only difference!

In Wen Yu’s perception, each of these seven newly split Ibiros had power exactly identical to the original!

8-Forked (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Active Skill): Eight limbs, eight stalks, eight heads, eight tails!

This is the strongest power of the mightiest lifeform of a certain world, buried deep in its genetic instincts! Once activated, the host’s body can automatically split into eight independent bodies, each one with strength completely identical to the host, inheriting all skills!

Note 1: This skill has no cooldown. The split bodies have no existence time limit, but whenever one body dies, the main body will permanently lose one-eighth of its physical stat cap, species innate talent, and Soul Strength.

Note 2: There is no hierarchy among the bodies. As long as any one body remains alive, the host will not die.

Note 3: The bodies share thoughts, share vision, share emotions, but do not share injuries.

At that moment, Wen Yu finally understood why Star Praying had said Ibira was the most suitable soul pet for him!

With just one skill, Wen Yu’s individual combat strength would once again increase eightfold!

What kind of concept is that?

Eight Wen Yus, fully sharing all skills—this is more direct, more Strong Power than any other Skill System!

Wen Yu even sent a voice transmission to Faceless the instant he saw Ibira use this skill, telling him not to kill Ibira no matter what.

And reality once again slapped Wen Yu in the face.

Not only could Faceless not kill Ibira, he was actually being pushed back step by step in front of eight Ibiros!

...

Faceless had just reacted to the disturbance behind him when Ibira’s attacks arrived one after another. Behind him, seven gaping maws descended all at once, trying to swallow Faceless whole.

Faceless barely managed to respond, using his hard Scale Armor to forcibly tank the attacks from all eight Ibiros. But just as those eight Ibiros were about to bite down on Faceless, they suddenly shifted their aim. They didn’t directly attack Faceless, but instead brushed past him and, like swallows returning to the nest, all dove back into Ibira’s main body.

Seeing this scene, Wen Yu’s eyes instantly shone bright!

Union-type ability!

No way this one’s running!

Eight bodies are already pretty Strong Power, but when facing an existence that completely crushes you, they can’t deliver a decisive turnaround—if one can’t win, eight probably can’t either. At most, it slightly increases the odds of successfully escaping.

But once you add a Union-type ability, the whole concept changes...

The only question was how much of a boost Ibira’s skill could give to the main body.

In just a split second, the Union was complete, and at the same time, the aura Ibira released clearly gave Wen Yu the answer to that question.

Double...

Double again...

Two to the seventh power...

A 128-fold boost!
