Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”biubiubiu...”

The Little Stone Man held the gun, continually squeezing the vicious trigger, shooting furiously almost point-blank, ensuring every shot counted without a miss.

The seven Faceless ones watched from a distance—under the activation of the Soul Battlefield, no one besides a Soul Puppet could enter the battlefield at all.

Now, they couldn’t exert their full strength.

Meanwhile, within the Soul Battlefield, Wen Yu was being hammered by Black River Sovereign to the point of fright.

Even an ordinary straight punch required Wen Yu’s utmost effort to withstand. Almost every second, Wen Yu had to use the Photosynthetic Spirit Motifs and Ancient Dragon’s Wrath hundreds of times. Fortunately, that black hole-like ability seemed to have some special restriction or cooldown duration, for the next three seconds, Black River Sovereign did not use this skill again.

But only for three seconds.

”Swish...”

As a familiar black hole appeared out of thin air to Wen Yu’s right, he felt the same sealed sensation wash over him once more. He could only watch as Black River Sovereign shattered his recovery skill structure with a punch and then exploded Wen Yu’s head with another blow!

Under the initiation of Heavenly Calamity, both Dimensional Walk and Netherworld were severely disrupted. Unable to match Black River Sovereign’s speed, counterattacks were futile. Wen Yu could only watch as an item from his space ring took effect, and in the next instant, Wen Yu was reborn at a faraway location.

One advantage of being the Commander-in-Chief of Yanjing was ample resource supplies; Wen Yu had stocked a lot of revival-type items—each carbon copy had at least a hundred and eighty of them as backup.

At this moment, these revival items played their role.

”Let’s see how many times you can die!”

Black River Sovereign seemed infuriated. As soon as Wen Yu revived, he came rushing up and swung a heavy punch, reenacting the previous scene once again.

Aligning with Wen Yu’s earlier plan, the battle between him and Black River Sovereign became a bizarre spectacle where Wen Yu traded life for time.

The victor was undoubtedly Black River Sovereign. However, as Wen Yu kept dying, he was convinced that the ultimate victory would belong to him.

Soon, after Wen Yu experienced his sixth resurrection, Vicious fired its three hundredth bullet.

...

”Boom!”

Another punch came down; the calamity in the sky remained rampant, and the Heavenly Scourge Curse continued its havoc. However, after Wen Yu barely blocked the blow, he found that Black River Sovereign’s next punch was significantly weaker...

About a twenty percent reduction.

Don’t underestimate this twenty percent. For Wen Yu, this was a critical point affording him the ability to barely parry and even counterattack!

Without the interference of the black hole, the successive two attacks did not take Wen Yu’s life. Ultra Mortal Combat entered its third phase, and at this moment, Wen Yu surprisingly raised his hands to withstand Black River Sovereign’s heavy strike.

As a price, Wen Yu’s arms completely collapsed, and the relative immunity status of Ultra Mortal Combat’s third phase was directly broken. However, another Photosynthetic Spirit Motif pulled Wen Yu back from the brink of death.

”A passive skill has been sealed.”

This was the first instance.

Soon, three seconds passed, yet the bizarre black hole that had just led directly to Wen Yu’s death did not reappear!

Noticing this scene, Wen Yu’s eyes glimmered brightly, while conversely, Black River Sovereign remained silent.

He had another key skill sealed...

But then again, beyond individuals like Wen Yu, with such a plethora of skills, which skill isn’t crucial for any expert reaching Level 11?

At this moment, the combat between the two began to reverse. Without black holes, Black River Sovereign had no means to instantly obliterate Wen Yu directly—judging from known skills, Black River Sovereign’s solo combat capability wasn’t exceedingly strong (depending on who compared), his strength lay in terrifying group killing ability.

Just as his skill names implied—he himself was a walking calamity.

Given enough time, Black River Sovereign could annihilate all life within a world by himself.

But unfortunately, the Heaven’s Sealing massive array formation was only so large, and his adversaries had been merely two all along...

...

”So, why don’t you surrender?”

”Or are you waiting for these ripples to amplify enough to outright finish me?”

”Dream on, you can’t afford to wait...”

”Accept your fate graciously.”

”Rest assured, I won’t torment you, you’ll simply slumber for a while. Upon awakening, you will find all your comrades neatly gathered by your side...”

The scene was eerie—Wen Yu was being beaten badly, his reliance on nothing more than his formidable recovery skill system and terrifying immortality trait. The battle was still in absolute favor of Black River Sovereign, but at this moment, the psychological states of both shifted completely.

Wen Yu spoke provocations while getting pummeled, while Black River Sovereign hit him, his eyes slowly emanating anxiety.

He was uneasy; he was afraid...

Soon, he wouldn’t have to be afraid anymore.

As soon as the Little Stone Man outside fired the thousandth bullet, everything became irreversible.

The whirls recklessly spilling energy in the sky slowly dissipated, and the ripples that Black River Sovereign’s body constantly emitted also fell into complete stillness. The nearly thirty-meter-tall frame of Black River Sovereign started to tremble, and shortly after, this robust, towering body deflated like a punctured balloon, green liquid flowing continuously. Soon, the green giant vanished, replaced by an ordinary Soot Skin Demon Fiend, under 1.2 meters tall, dark and thin.

”Bastard!”

Black River Sovereign let out a frustrated roar, he leaped up once more, but before that slender, black fist could land, Wen Yu had already smashed his fist into Black River Sovereign’s chest.

Height signifies reach...and it’s a severe disadvantage!

With a ”boom,” Black River Sovereign’s body was sent flying far away. Though not gravely injured, Wen Yu could still sense that Black River Sovereign’s physical capabilities had already dwindled far below the extent of his own soul strength at peak condition.

Dream becomes Reality Skill System combined with Ultra Mortal Combat and other passive skills—Black River Sovereign, stripped of all skills, solely based on fundamental physical strength was about a fifth of Wen Yu’s peak might, which was incomprehensibly strong yet given the current circumstances...

It was barely enough.

Watching Black River Sovereign quickly rise from the ground, Wen Yu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

”Congratulations, you’re under arrest...”

In the next second, the Soul Battlefield was directly dismissed by Wen Yu, and the seven Faceless rushed forward, while Wen Yu turned to grab the Little Stone Man’s Vicious gun, aiming at Black River Sovereign as if eyeing a delicious prey.
