Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

They had been traveling at a steady pace, without encountering any complications. Two hours later, the towering, greenish city walls, scarred by battle, began to appear in the distance.

...

”We’re here.”

Seeing the towering city walls in the distance, Wen Yu stated emotionlessly.

”We’re here...”

In the Spiritual Fluctuation of the Almighty Demon Vine, there was a wealth of contemplation.

”What’s next? Do you want to join me and go inside? As members of the diplomatic delegation?”

Tang Haofei directed a question to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu simply shrugged with a smile.

”What do you think? I’m a native of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes now.”

”Alright then, I guess we’ll meet again when fate dictates. Keep in touch!”

Having spent only a short time in the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, Tang Haofei’s vocabulary had already taken on a rather archaic flair...

But, seriously, what the hell was ”keep in touch” supposed to mean?

Not bothering to comment on Tang Haofei’s frivolity, Wen Yu turned and walked in a different direction.

...

The closer Wen Yu got to Ling Yun City, the more he sensed the profound depth and power of the former Universe of Immortals and Heroes.

The towering city walls were covered with mysterious runes. Although most of the runes were dim and damaged, Wen Yu could detect a formidable energy response from the few that still functioned.

By Level 5 standards, this city wall could certainly be described as impregnable!

However…

Having not witnessed the true power of the Demon Tribe, Wen Yu knew that the strength they had displayed on Earth was merely the tip of the iceberg. Judging by the extent of the damage to the walls, the Demon Tribe’s power—even if only at Level 5—far exceeded his imagination.

At that moment, all the dead souls from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes who had perished in battle in Ling Yun City had regained their consciousness. The number of natives from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes who fell in Ling Yun City was substantial, including a massive contingent of support combat personnel.

From a distance, skeletal dead souls from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes moved back and forth on the city walls, tirelessly repairing the damaged fortifications and runes. Just a short time after regaining consciousness, these dead souls had already returned to their posts.

Long-term warfare had conditioned the entire Universe of Immortals and Heroes to operate at high speed, like a precise machine. This state seemed to be deeply ingrained, perhaps into the very marrow of these natives from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes.

”Avoid them.”

The Almighty Demon Vine’s suggestion happened to align with Wen Yu’s own judgment—Wen Yu was not one who enjoyed crowds. Additionally, while he carried the aura of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, his appearance and attire made Wen Yu stand out. The natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes resembled the Earth Human Race, but their prolonged state of death had left them skeletal, making Wen Yu’s living form particularly conspicuous.

Darkness slowly enveloped Wen Yu. His aura gradually faded, and his form slowly melded with the darkness until he became a nearly imperceptible shadow.

”Enter the city. I’ll guide you.”

Upon hearing the Almighty Demon Vine’s instruction, Wen Yu casually asked.

”Where are we going?”

”To fetch your identity...”

The Almighty Demon Vine’s tone was filled with an inexplicable, strange undertone. After a pause, it added, ”Brace yourself, kid. It’s time to show the world what your esteemed Almighty Demon Vine can do!”

...

”DING, DING! BANG, BANG!”

”Hurry up, faster! The Immortal Emperor has finally given us a second chance at life, and the demon plague is imminent! If you haven’t repaired the city walls when the demon plague arrives, you’ll all end up as fertilizer for the Demon Bastards outside the city!”

”Where’s the Array Maintenance Team? Get them to me now!”

”Open the city gates! Another group of our brothers has returned.”

A cacophony of shouts filled the entire city wall. Though it was rather strange to see a group of figures resembling skeletons speaking human language, their tone and actions were full of vigor.

Even though the Universe of Immortals and Heroes had been defeated, the essential core of these skeletal dead souls had not been obliterated—the spirit of resistance and the desire for rebellion hidden deep within their hearts!

The chaotic noises did not disturb Wen Yu. As he observed the current ’local customs and conditions’ of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, he mentally asked the Almighty Demon Vine, ”What are they saying?”

The language barrier was indeed a troublesome issue.

”It doesn’t concern you...”

”Then how am I supposed to communicate with them?”

”Use Spiritual Fluctuation. No, that’s too much hassle. When we get there, I’ll just get you a little toy!”

”What kind of toy?”

”You’ll know when the time comes! Why so many questions?”

The Almighty Demon Vine’s impatient tone effectively shut Wen Yu down.

Wen Yu couldn’t be bothered to complain about these things anymore; he had been following the Almighty Demon Vine’s arrangements ever since entering the Heavenly Palace Treasure Land.

Taking initiative was sometimes crucial. However, when relinquishing control could lead to greater benefits, the pros and cons needed careful consideration.

All in all, Wen Yu didn’t have many complaints about the current situation—this treasure land had already provided him with benefits bountiful enough!

...

BOOM!

A sudden explosion in the distance resounded, making Wen Yu’s head ring.

Then, a loud and resonant voice speaking Mandarin echoed throughout Ling Yun City.

”I come in peace, seeking an alliance.”

The language barrier was indeed quite annoying. What surprised Wen Yu even more was that idiot, Tang Haofei, was standing right at the entrance of Ling Yun City, shouting about an ”alliance” in broad daylight.

Wen Yu casually glanced in the direction of the voice.

Countless dead souls, dressed in the attire of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes and wielding various tools and weapons, surged towards Tang Haofei, their entire beings radiating killing intent...

”Your Human Race’s Sequence Number 1, tsk tsk, so interesting...”

Although their contact had been brief, Tang Haofei had quickly landed himself on the Almighty Demon Vine’s roasting list. It had to be said, while Old Tang might appear to be of high status and great power, his way of doing things was simply astounding to onlookers.

It could only be said that he deserved to be roasted...

Out of consideration for their shared species, Wen Yu couldn’t bear to watch Tang Haofei continue to embarrass himself in front of the natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes.

He quietly sent a Spiritual Fluctuation toward Tang Haofei.

”Communicate using Spiritual Fluctuation.”

”Wen Yu? Where are you?”

”What does it matter to you where I am? I told you to use Spiritual Fluctuation, so just use it. Why are you dawdling?”

”Alright, you’re clever... How about we go together?”

Hearing Tang Haofei’s suggestion, Wen Yu decisively moved further away from his direction.
