Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Within the earth, Tang Haofei felt as if he had returned to his mother’s womb. His physical injuries were slowly recovering under the effects of the Power of the Earth. With the Power of Heaven and Earth at his command, as long as his feet touched the ground, the earth could provide Tang Haofei with an unimaginable boost to his combat power!

The rocks and dirt before him swiftly parted as Tang Haofei approached, revealing a sturdy and spacious passage.

The description ”like a fish in water” perfectly suited Tang Haofei while he was underground.

And this passage led directly to the feet of the plump man above!

...

Sensing his challenge target drawing nearer, while also perceiving that his opponent above had activated some unknown skill or technique, causing their aura to surge once more, Tang Haofei took a deep breath. His muscles rippled and tensed all over his body.

In the next moment, Tang Haofei’s legs instantly unleashed their strength. His powerful leg muscles tore through Old Tang’s trousers. The earth beneath his feet rapidly hardened, providing him a platform to launch himself from.

BOOM!

Every cell in his body supplied his legs with unimaginable energy. At this moment, Tang Haofei was like a great fish leaping through stormy waves. In an instant, he burst through the layer of soil above and appeared before his opponent.

Without the Suppression from Zhu Zi’s skill, Tang Haofei felt every cell in his body rejoice. Raising his right fist high, Tang Haofei shut his eyes, relying solely on his perception of auras to lock onto the enemy’s position, then smashed his fist down!

DOOONG~~

A sound like a great bell being struck reverberated. The surrounding rocks and soil, despite being fortified multiple times by Tang Haofei’s skills, could not withstand such violent Oscillations. The entire tunnel collapsed in an instant...

The anticipated sensation of his fist colliding with flesh and bone did not occur. Instead, he felt an incredibly hard, metallic texture.

Hastily opening his eyes, Tang Haofei immediately saw the plump man before him, and the golden defense shroud surrounding him, like a suit of battle armor.

Earth and stones from the collapsing tunnel rained down around the two of them.

His vision was gradually obscured by the falling earth and stones. However, just an instant before being buried by the rubble, Tang Haofei clearly saw the plump man before him slowly raise his right hand.

Golden light instantly blazed from his right hand, and then…

A standard uppercut smashed viciously onto Tang Haofei’s chin!

A visible sonic wave erupted from Tang Haofei’s chin. The immense force instantly shattered Tang Haofei’s teeth and the bones in his jaw. Bone fragments erupted from Tang Haofei’s mouth, directly blasting Old Tang’s tongue into a mangled pulp.

Then, the tremendous force detonated again. Tang Haofei, who had just burst from the earth, was blasted upward at an even greater speed. In an instant, he shot through the overlying layer of soil, continued out of the ground, and then, with undiminished momentum, soared into the sky.

Round after round of Sound Explosions formed continuous shockwaves. Wen Yu, who had just dealt with Zhu Zi in the Soul Battlefield, stared agape as Tang Haofei rocketed into the sky like a missile.

WOW~~~

...

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...

Only after witnessing such a spectacular sight did the successive booms of the Sound Explosions finally reach his ears.

Sensing an exceptionally ferocious aura rapidly intensifying and approaching from beneath the ground, Wen Yu, who was familiar with Old Tang’s skills, slowly backed away a few steps. He then communicated via Spiritual Fluctuation to Tang Haofei, who had just managed to stabilize himself in the sky.

”Do you need help?”

”No! Damn it, this little fatty has gotten addicted to hitting my face!”

A tongue injury naturally didn’t affect the transmission of Spiritual Fluctuation. Moreover, Old Tang hadn’t suffered a concussion from that punch, so his thoughts were still clear. This showed that, even with his violently rearranged face, Tang Haofei hadn’t sustained any injuries that would significantly affect his combat power.

”Then hurry up. That guy down there is about to come up. If he dares to come at me, I’ll obliterate him instantly!”

Tang Haofei’s strength was far greater than Wen Yu’s. This was an indisputable fact. However, here, when facing natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes who possessed flawed Souls, Wen Yu could unleash combat effectiveness that surpassed Tang Haofei’s by more than just a level!

”Understood.”

As Tang Haofei spoke, the lightning in the sky flared brilliantly. Streaks of spontaneously generated Thunder combined to form a pair of pale blue wings for Tang Haofei.

With the help of these wings, Tang Haofei barely managed to control his body. Like a large bird, he then plunged towards the plump man who was about to erupt from the ground!

”The commotion is too big,” Wen Yu remarked with a frown.

”I know. There’s no choice. I can’t take this guy down without going all out. Look around, one of them should have a Compass in their space ring. That thing can locate nearby natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes. Help me keep an eye on the surroundings.”

Tang Haofei also understood that his actions could easily attract unwanted attention. Heluo Squad feared others employing the ’mantis stalks the cicada, oriole behind’ tactic, and Wen Yu and Tang Haofei, with the battle now decided, shared this concern.

But…

Having finally encountered a challenge target, Tang Haofei absolutely couldn’t let it go!

...

Hearing Tang Haofei’s reminder, Wen Yu immediately refocused.

Trusting Tang Haofei’s combat prowess, Wen Yu didn’t continue watching the duel between him and the plump man. Instead, he began to search the space rings of the three deceased individuals.

”So poor… You guys are truly poor…”

These natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes had long ago exhausted their supplies and various valuable items during the final battle. What remained now were merely some basic provisions reissued by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance after their Rebirth.

There was nothing good. Thus, among these meager items, the Compass Tang Haofei had mentioned was naturally more conspicuous.

After taking out the Compass, Wen Yu casually tossed the three space rings onto the ground.

Ignoring the plump man who was about to break out of the earth, Wen Yu deliberately moved further away. Only then did he lower his head to examine the Compass in his hand.

The Compass’s interface was clean. It was called a Compass, but it was actually more like a tablet computer from Earth, albeit with somewhat limited functionality.

Its completely foolproof operation allowed Wen Yu to very easily understand how to use the Compass: each red dot on it corresponded to a native of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes.

”This is me… This is that fatty…”

”Tang Haofei isn’t on here!”

With a simple observation, Wen Yu immediately discovered that this Compass couldn’t pinpoint Tang Haofei’s location.

”It locates based on aura,” the Almighty Demon Vine explained.
