Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 1425: Chapter 67: Upheaval (9)

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Oga looked at Wen Yu’s face, trying to find any trace of deceit.

But Wen Yu simply looked at Oga with a calm expression, his face showing evident sincerity.

“I’ve crippled you, really, I’m not joking.”

Wen Yu repeated this known fact, and Oga seemed to sense Wen Yu’s sincerity…

“Roar!”

A frenzied dragon roar echoed the next second, Oga’s figure suddenly enlarged and charged madly at Wen Yu.

This strike of Soul Balance Scale had almost cut down half of Oga’s soul strength!

To Wen Yu, the Soul Balance Scale is the ultimate deadly weapon, but for those affected by it, it’s a severe poison!

Unpreventable, unstoppable, once hit by the Soul Balance Scale, one must endure the full effect. Once the effect occurs, a substantial reduction in soul strength follows—an unbearable pain for anyone struck by it!

This means lowered resistance to spirit-based skills, illusion techniques, and negative states, a fall in one of the two basic data points, and signifies a newly appeared weakness.

Saying it’s crippled is inappropriate, but the impact is definitely not something that can be lightly dismissed.

Thus, Oga erupted in fury.

…

In Yanjing, Wen Yu’s residence.

After strolling with Tang Haofei and Sun Xuewei, only a few days had passed, during which Tang Haofei frequently visited with Sun Xuewei. On the surface, the relationship between Tang Haofei and Wen Yu seemed to have returned to its original state.

Good pals, good brothers, they are comrades fighting side by side, also striving together, mutually surpassing goals.

“Yesterday, the Guardian sent a message that the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle will begin in less than two months. It’s been quite a while since we last practiced together. By the way, I remember last time I seemed to have been defeated by you quite badly.”

The Dominator’s announcement about the re-sequencing and reopening of the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle has been widely publicized. This time, Wen Yu and Tang Haofei are definitely participating simultaneously, meaning it’s another time for the two to compete for Sequence Number 1.

“I see you’re pretty confident, resurrected once again?”

Wen Yu asked, while Tang Haofei merely shrugged dismissively; he deduced that the psychologist’s method was indeed quite effective, leading to Tang Haofei’s significant growth in strength.

The two casually talked about the upcoming Sequence Member-Ranking Battle, but neither mentioned match-fixing…

With the Dominator’s warning looming, perhaps the two are hoping to explore each other’s limits through this Sequence Member-Ranking Battle. As they chatted, their conversation drifted far and wide.

Until in the Demon Realm, Wen Yu, who was battling against Oga, unleashed the Soul Balance Scale.

The frenzied soul energy simultaneously spread inside eight Wen Yu bodies, the expression of Wen Yu, who was conversing with Tang Haofei, instantly changed—the aggressive soul energy madly supplemented Wen Yu’s soul strength, reaching its peak in a short time.

In Tang Haofei’s eyes, he saw Wen Yu’s figure suddenly pause, the next moment, the mysterious soul pressure wildly dissipated and multiplied countless times in a short time!

The enormous pressure flickered briefly, not causing significant damage to the surrounding environment, but facing Wen Yu, Tang Haofei and Sun Xuewei still felt the abrupt qualitative change emanating from him.

Old Tang breathed rapidly, his face full of doubt as he looked at Wen Yu, as if Wen Yu had suddenly revealed his true form, becoming a prehistoric monster devouring humans.

As for Sun Xuewei, she simply fainted.

…

The sudden change came quickly and went quickly, in just the blink of an eye, Wen Yu had smoothly retracted the pressure, picking up the teacup leisurely as if nothing had happened, savoring the tea.

Tang Haofei took note of Wen Yu, then looked at the unconscious Sun Xuewei on the ground. He opened his mouth as if wanting to probe what change had occurred within Wen Yu.

Wen Yu provided the explanation first.

“I ate an Immortal Pill, the kind that works with a delay…”

Such flimsy pretext left Old Tang with an open mouth, unsure how to probe further.

Until Wen Yu issued a guest-dismissal order.

“I’m a bit tired now.”

Tang Haofei paused silently, then nodded, carrying Sun Xuewei out the door.

After the two left, Wen Yu immediately flashed into the bedroom, first checking the Soul Balance Scale skill.

The skill showed that Soul Balance Scale had already been used…

The cooldown duration applied simultaneously to each carbon copy—quite natural, as Wen Yu had already experimented with the Blood and Flesh Balance Scale regarding this issue.

Of course, the effect is similarly shared amongst all carbon copies—these two balancing skills are somewhat peculiar. Like Cyclops’ Death Resistance (Species-specific, Esoteric Level, Passive Skill) and Victor’s Reality and Illusion: Nine Lives, they don’t have this problem, and the cooldown duration and usage count for carbon copies are even independent.

As for the skill effects, Wen Yu simply glanced over them quickly, while focusing on the carbon copy aspect.

Thinking of this, Wen Yu slowly closed his eyes, shifting his attention to the carbon copy.

…

“How is the situation? Need any help?”

“Wow, pretty good, this time the Soul Balance Scale caught a big fish.”

“Not quite a big fish, the Dominator, Demon Lord, and Demon Spirit are the real big fish. Speaking of Number 1 (Wen Yu stationed in Yanjing), when you encountered the Dominator, why didn’t you cast the Soul Balance Scale on his face? I say, sacrificing yourself to gain half of the Dominator’s soul strength would be a bloody profit!”

“Oh? So it’s my fault, you sit here enjoying the cool breeze, not knowing I almost got scared to pee myself at the time…”

As several Wen Yus chatted, the topic drifted off, but regardless of who, nobody took Wen Yu fighting Oga seriously.

To be precise, they didn’t take Oga seriously…

Only Wen Yu himself knows the bug-level efficiency of his skill system, with equal base qualities, in terms of augmentation abilities, no one can compare to Wen Yu.

After using the Soul Balance Scale, weakening Oga and enhancing himself, the battle holds no suspense anymore—compare augmentation? Wen Yu doesn’t believe any creature with merely eleven skills would be his match.

And indeed, that’s how it played out!

In the Soul Battlefield, Oga roared and charged, several skills frantically stacked onto Oga’s body, causing his soul strength to surge over a thousandfold!

Quite strong augmentation, yet after a brief contact, Oga crumbled, instantly blasted far away—Wen Yu activated Ultra Mortal Combat in a self-destructive manner, simultaneously stacking Dream Come True, in merely a moment, the gap widened!

Rich chaotic energy spread out, entangled with each other and fused together, in just moments, an external armor, congealed from chaotic power and nearly one thousand meters high, had already formed on Wen Yu’s body surface!
