Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Seeing Wen Yu nod, Tang Haofei was straightforward. He didn’t pay attention to the faint aura of the divine beast emitting from Wen Yu, raising his hand nonchalantly.

”Have you finished exploring inside?”

”All done. There’s nothing left.”

As Wen Yu replied to Tang Haofei’s question, he signaled to Cyclops and Star.

Upon seeing this, the two soul pets decisively reverted to their mini state and instantly burrowed into Wen Yu’s arms.

For the two soul pets, the psychological battle with Tang Haofei just now was by no means an easy and enjoyable process.

”Since you’ve finished exploring, we can take over from here? Also, let me ask again, are you sure you’ve explored all of it?”

Hearing Tang Haofei’s words, Wen Yu slightly furrowed his brows. He briefly contemplated whether he had missed any benefits, then decisively nodded.

”Whatever remaining treasures you can scrape together are all yours.”

”I’m glad to hear it!”

Once Tang Haofei finished speaking with a smile, he pulled out a communicator.

”Call the team over to my position.”

Seeing Tang Haofei issuing the order, Wen Yu once again pondered whether he had left any benefits behind. After a while, he shook his head with a bitter smile.

Some damaged A-Class and S-Class items weren’t worth cleaning up completely. Those things, even if remelted, were of no use to Wen Yu. Furthermore, they wouldn’t fetch much money if sold, hardly worth the trouble. Wouldn’t it be better for me to search other areas during that time? As for the leftovers, I genuinely couldn’t think of any other benefits.

Then, Wen Yu received a lesson from the military!

The roar of engines sounded in the distance, and a line of military vehicles slowly drove into Wen Yu’s view.

The treasure land did not restrict the entry of equipment—perhaps in the eyes of the Dominator, the Technological System was also a part of a civilization’s overall strength.

And the fragments of floating continents on the First Layer of Tiangong, which were inaccessible to vehicles, could not possibly hinder these military vehicles due to the existence of the space ring.

Watching a line of military vehicles come to a stop before him, Wen Yu surveyed the massive formation with furrowed brows, then looked at Tang Haofei in confusion.

Tang Haofei gave a cryptic smile and gestured to the military personnel in front.

Several researchers in white coats, holding various types of instruments and equipment, took the lead in entering the great hall. Within less than ten minutes, reports were collected and handed to Tang Haofei.

”Level 10 forging equipment, specifically used to create standard equipment for Level 10 powerful experts, am I right?”

Tang Haofei looked at Wen Yu with a smirk. He believed Wen Yu knew the details of this place.

Indeed, Wen Yu was aware.

Wen Yu carelessly nodded, confirming the accuracy of the information Tang Haofei mentioned. He believed he had scraped clean all the benefits here, so there was no longer any need to hide this information.

But the next moment, Tang Haofei’s order made Wen Yu break into a bitter smile.

”Group 1, get ready to move all the equipment inside. Alert me if anything cannot be pried open.”

”Group 2, be ready to move all the construction materials inside. These materials are treasures left by an ancient civilization. There may be many aspects worth borrowing for our Technological System.”

Even if they couldn’t draw from it, keeping it to repair the city walls was also a good idea...

”Reporting, sir! We found a secret tunnel. The materials inside cannot be analyzed, but they have at least Level 9 strength.”

”Group 3 and Group 4 are responsible for demolition work.”

Orders rapidly issued from Tang Haofei’s mouth. Then, before Wen Yu’s shocked gaze, the hall in front shrank visibly. It didn’t even take an hour for the entire hall area to be reduced to a pile of chaotic debris...

Wen Yu felt a twinge of annoyance. He couldn’t believe that the treasures Tang Haofei referred to were these old, junky machines and wall bricks, which he himself saw as trivial...

Given the current scale of the Yanjing Assembly Site, it wouldn’t take long. The treasures left behind by the Universe of Immortals and Heroes—such as the Ten Heavy Heavens, along with all its useful buildings, materials, and even technologies—would be rapidly ingested and absorbed by the Yanjing Assembly Site.

An individual’s ability complements the power of a large organization, yet they are fundamentally different.

At least when it came to treasure hunting, Wen Yu admitted he was no match for them.

”Sir, we found some unknown symbols below. Our preliminary estimate is that these might be from the runes technology of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes.”

Tang Haofei waved his hand.

”Dig ’em out and hand them over to the scientists for research.”

”Sir, we found several damaged stone doors below. The material is interesting; it has the strength of Level 9 stone and also has some properties that could block abilities.”

”Take them all!”

”Sir, we found a large number of fragments of A-Class and S-Class tools below. They have been completely destroyed and are irreparable, but the technical principles on them may help the ongoing research in the Science Academy.”

”Do you really need to ask me what to do? Take them all!”

One order after another made Wen Yu’s eyes twitch uncontrollably. These guys are just like a swarm of locusts!

Looking at the booming ”construction site” in front of him, Wen Yu’s mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn’t help but blurt out, ”Why don’t you just move the floating continent below away too?”

”You know about that?”

Tang Haofei looked at Wen Yu with a surprised expression.

”We’ve already moved three of them out. You have a point; they’re perfect for making satellite cities for the Eternal Sky City.”

”Haha, you guys are really incredible. Goodbye...”

Wen Yu could no longer stand the grand treasure excavation happening before his eyes. Although these things were useless to him, they had slipped right from under his nose, leaving a small pang of regret in his heart. If the total value of these things were to be calculated, it was probably much higher than the fragments of SS-Class and SSS-Class items that Wen Yu possessed.

Instead of teasing Wen Yu further, Tang Haofei actually extended an invitation for cooperation.

”Regarding the Heaven Palace Tenth Layer, with current strength levels, it’s fairly good if top professionists can reach the 5th layer. I can reach the 8th layer, but it’s quite risky. How about we go together?”

Tang Haofei’s sincere invitation didn’t move Wen Yu in the slightest.

”You go on. I’m not participating!”

Wen Yu resolutely rejected Tang Haofei’s offer and turned to walk away.

According to the Almighty Demon Vine, this was the only place of value in the entirety of the Second Level of Heavenly Palace. Given Tang Haofei’s method of pillaging every possible item, like a moving house operation, a sense of urgency crept into Wen Yu’s heart. If I could force my way into the secret chambers, so could Tang Haofei, perhaps even more effortlessly. Even with the Almighty Demon Vine as an external boost, I don’t seem to have much of an advantage over Tang Haofei.

Watching the Cathay military’s construction team working with such fervor, and seeing Tang Haofei had no intention of leaving them behind to proceed first, Wen Yu knew he had to press on to higher levels. Should I linger here and compete directly with Tang Haofei?

Heaving a deep sigh, Wen Yu instantly sped up, hurrying ahead.

Only after carrying Cyclops and Star out of the range of the Heavenly Palace Forge did Wen Yu have time to send a Spiritual Fluctuation to the Almighty Demon Vine.

”Hurry to the third layer!”

The Almighty Demon Vine, sensing the urgency, quickly pointed in a specific direction.

”There!”
