Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Yet another grand promise...

Wen Yu was now wide awake. Even in the face of successive, seemingly irresistible temptations, he remained unmoved.

To break through the barrier formed by Level 10 Demon Fiends and the Level 10 dead spirits from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes—I must be out of my mind!

Possibly sensing Wen Yu’s hesitation, an impatient Almighty Demon Vine spoke up.

”Don’t forget, you still have me. I know the locations of both the medicinal herbs garden and the Spirit Beast Garden, as well as the Techniques Pavilion, treasure warehouse, and even the secret passages of the Heavenly Palace!”

”You have to understand, just because the Dominator hasn’t made a move against me now doesn’t mean he would let me wander around aimlessly outside. If you venture out, there’s no guarantee that I’ll be able to accompany you next time!”

”Most importantly, you may have overestimated the strength of Level 10!”

”Let me break it down for you—the maximum physique points for Level 6 is 5,000, Level 7 is 20,000, Level 8 is 50,000, Level 9 is 100,000, and Level 10 is just 200,000!”

Wen Yu retorted internally, Yes, that’s just over ten times my stats! Not much at all!

”But you’re forgetting, you have me. The higher the Demon Fiend’s level, the more physique points it can provide you. Do you have any idea how many physique points you could get if you defeated a Level 8 Demon Fiend? You grow stronger with each battle!”

”Furthermore...”

The Almighty Demon Vine presented an even greater Deadly Weapon.

”Currently, the Universe of Immortals and Heroes still retains its World Origin—the source power of its world. Here, I can transform you into a divine beast of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes. Even though the Universe of Immortals and Heroes has already perished, you can’t fake the species innate talent of a divine beast!”

”Once you leave, you can then absorb Earth’s World Origin—becoming a user of dual divine beast types. Doesn’t that tempt you?”

Tempted? It would be a miracle if I wasn’t...

So, when Wen Yu heard the series of potential advantages presented by the Almighty Demon Vine, his eyes immediately narrowed in thought.

After a moment, Wen Yu decisively clapped his hands!

”It’s on!”

「 」

While Wen Yu and the Almighty Demon Vine were discussing their ”troublemaking” plans, Golden Armor, having dealt with matters in the Ten Heavy Heavenly Palace Treasure Land, immediately began creating the Gate to the Treasure Land.

He forged the Power of Space, tampered with the Strings of Space, and set up the teleportation array formation—all were completed in a single, smooth flow.

The Power of Space was like a toy, casually manipulated in Golden Armor’s hands.

This was the power of Protector Number 1, or perhaps, the basic ability of all Guardians—every Guardian was a monstrous creature transcending Level 11!

But at the same time, they were also race criminals, bearing all kinds of sins!

”Heavenly Palace? We’re going to the Heavenly Palace? That Heavenly Palace?”

Hearing the voice behind him, Golden Armor nodded without any expression.

”Hehe, the Heavenly Palace is good, it’s really good...”

A series of ”admiring” remarks, accompanied by a strong whiff of alcohol, rushed toward Golden Armor. However, Golden Armor only frowned in response.

”You should drink less.”

”What are you afraid of? Alcohol doesn’t get me drunk.”

The two of them fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Golden Armor was the first to speak.

”Your condition isn’t good. This could cause problems.”

”Cause problems? Whose problems? Problems for the Dominator’s grand plan, or problems for yours and the Demon Lord’s grand plan?”

”Shut up! I know you won’t be feeling good returning to the Heavenly Palace this time, but if you want revenge, you’d better be more careful with your words!”

”Humph... I feel great, really great. Going back to see the kinsmen I tricked into their deaths, going back to see the elder brother who, because of me, fell into a trap and was killed by the Dominator, going back to see the world I betrayed—oh, how beautiful it will be...”

The voice gradually faded behind him, but it did not disturb Golden Armor’s actions. As a like-minded accomplice and a long-time collaborator, Golden Armor was crystal clear about the character of the Drunken Taoist—who was also Protector Number 9.

Alcohol indeed couldn’t intoxicate a Level 11 transcendent powerful expert...

However, thinking about this, Golden Armor gripped his fist tightly.

What are we to the Dominator? Hunting dogs? Even hunting dogs get a few meat bones from their master! But the Dominator doesn’t even see Guardians as dogs! Revisiting an old place... The Drunken Taoist’s feelings must be exactly the same as mine were when I learned the truth and secretly returned to the Treasure Land made from the Golden Light Great World.

Softly shaking his head, Golden Armor let out a deep sigh.

Feelings? Sorry, that word is too heavy, too unreachable for a Guardian. As dogs belonging to the Dominator, only the Dominator’s feelings matter; our feelings mean nothing!

Immense power began to flow into the newly created Gate of the Treasure Land, providing it with the necessary energy to operate.

But every time he used this power, Golden Armor’s heart grew heavy.

Others might not know, but Golden Armor knew clearly how the power of Level 11 was obtained!

It was this long-held fear and guilt towards this power, spanning tens of thousands of years, that had led Golden Armor down a path diverging from the Treasure Land Protectors!

Recalling the recent exchanges with the Demon Tribe, Golden Armor’s eyes flashed with overwhelming resentment... Now? No, perhaps I’ll have to wait a few more years! But even after a few years, it shouldn’t be too late for revenge, right...

BOOM!

Overwhelming power surged from Golden Armor’s hand. However, as soon as it traveled three meters from him, it seemed to transform into a gentle breeze. This breeze carried countless microscopic white light particles in an extremely fast yet imperceptible storm, sweeping across every corner of the world.

Casually finishing this, Golden Armor turned and walked away, expressionless.

And behind him, Treasure Land Gates, each almost a hundred meters high, had already taken form!

「 」

With the large-scale appearance of the Treasure Land Gates, the outside world stirred with unrest.

However, the current situation was not the same as before the Demon Realm’s Gate opened.

Due to the invasion of the demon plague, only a small number of Independents and warriors dispatched by the militaries of various countries went to the Ten Heavy Heavenly Palace Treasure Land.

The only exception, perhaps, was the Yanjing Assembly Site, which didn’t need to fend off the demon plague.

Apart from the powerful experts supporting other regions, this time, Tang Haofei personally led a large team of Level 5 powerful experts and sequence members, hoping to ”fish out” some good things from this new Treasure Land.

An increase in numbers meant an increase in variables—for Wen Yu, it was uncertain whether this was good or bad.

Because at this moment, Wen Yu was constantly leaping from one floating land fragment to another, trying to find the teleportation array formation to the next level.

”The first level was the battlefield for Level 1 professionists and Level 1 Demon Creatures. There’s nothing valuable there; it’s the same 패턴 upwards.”

These were the exact words of the Almighty Demon Vine.

Recalling the Treasure Land of Flashing Bluestar he had encountered before, Wen Yu immediately had a question.

”Why do all your worlds eventually create these level-divided battlefields in the later stages?”

”We have no choice. The shockwaves from battles involving Level 10 powerful experts are too intense for low-level professionists to withstand. Yet, low-level professionists are the foundation of a species, the seedlings of future powerful experts. We can’t just ignore them.”
