Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

No one present feared battle, not even one at an extreme disadvantage. However, being turned into candy and eaten by someone else—that kind of death seemed far too cheap!

Swallowing hard, Wen Yu even had the fleeting thought of striking the child down immediately. There was no way to guard against such an instantly fatal skill. Once hit, there would be no room to fight back; life would be erased instantly and completely. Especially since his own physical attributes weren’t as high as the child’s—it was easy to imagine a scenario. Wen Yu, facing the child’s superior physical constitution and the exceptional mobility it granted, would have no effective countermeasure to the ”put both hands on your head” command. This meant that if the child decided to use ”Turn into Candy” on him, Wen Yu would inevitably be hit! Who could tolerate such a skill? Wen Yu asked himself. He couldn’t.

At this thought, Wen Yu slowly mustered the power within his body, intending to eliminate the child with a Soul Battlefield. With the Soul Battlefield at my disposal, I don’t fear these natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes! However, the next second, Wen Yu’s heart suddenly sank.

My skills… I still can’t use them!

”Be careful! He’s not dead! He’s not dead!!”

The warning rang out, reaching everyone’s ears. Hearing Wen Yu’s shout, Tang Haofei and the child paused, but Luo Hai’s teammates showed no surprise. They reacted swiftly—Zang attacked instantly, sending Tang Haofei flying, while Ah Gui straightened up again and lunged toward Wen Yu. They completely ignored the state of Luo Hai’s battle with the child!

The next second, the soft candy on the ground exploded and vanished. In its place, streaks of red light materialized out of thin air, flowing like liquid. They rapidly merged and reassembled, like threads woven by a craftsman’s hand. Terrifying life force pulsed from the eerie, red-glowing mass. The red light intensified until it was blinding, then abruptly detonated.

A gentle force sent the child flying. Amidst the child’s stunned, wide-eyed expression, Luo Hai’s figure clearly appeared within the red glow.

”You did well...” Luo Hai said, a fierce grimace on his face. His harsh tone betrayed his current state of mind. Dying once as a piece of candy... that hadn’t been a pleasant experience. Worse still, another of my hidden resurrection methods has been used up...

Phoenix Blood (SSS-Class item): Said to be the heart’s blood of an ancient creature, the Phoenix, from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes. It possesses the magical power to bring people back from the dead! When the bearer sustains a fatal attack, Phoenix Blood activates automatically, reviving them on the spot within a short time. A fierce energy vortex then envelops their body, rendering them immune to any attacks for the next ten seconds!

The Universe of Immortals and Heroes had warred with the Demon Tribe for countless years, yielding innumerable technological methods and skill-imbuing items. Although most were consumed in the final battle, the artifacts that remained still included many treasures. And who would be prioritized for these treasures? As a lackey of the Heavenly Dao and the son of Da Luo, Luo Hai was certainly qualified to receive them!

In other words, Luo Hai’s background bridged the power gap between him and the child. This kind of disparity, born from external factors, was enough to make grassroots individuals like the child utterly dejected.

In fact, Wen Yu also possessed a resurrection item: a Death Scapegoat Doll (S-Class item). He had exchanged it from the Treasure Land Protector in the treasure land during the outpost battle. Wen Yu had never encountered mortal danger on Earth, so such items had naturally gone unused. But this highlighted just how precious such an item was. Wen Yu, Earth’s Sequence Number 2, possessed only a single resurrection item. This was sufficient proof of their scarcity, and it was for this reason the child had selectively dismissed the possibility that Luo Hai might also have a resurrection item.

Looking at Luo Hai, who was now enveloped in a faint red aura, the child felt a surge of bitterness.

The previous opportunity to attack was perfect, and the result was just as good—I took Luo Hai out in a single move. But the existence of resurrection items... it’s enough to make anyone despair. If only I had a powerful father... But frustration or not, the battle has to continue. My skills are inactive, Luo Hai is back at his peak, and my own stamina is completely drained...

With this thought, the child quickly retrieved two elixir pills from his space ring, swallowed them whole, and attempted to recover some stamina quickly.

Unfortunately for him, Luo Hai, having already died twice, was not about to relinquish this hard-won opportunity. The energy within Luo Hai’s body condensed rapidly, and an intense white light surged from him. In moments, he had transformed into a massive, luminous entity. The next second, resembling a miniature sun, Luo Hai charged ferociously toward the nearby child.

Phoenix Blood (SSS-Class item) grants immunity to all attacks for ten seconds after resurrection. However, this description isn’t entirely complete. No skill or item in this world can provide Absolute Defense. Simply put, this immunity is equivalent to bestowing upon Luo Hai an incredibly strong Energy Shield! The truly terrifying aspect of Phoenix Blood, however, is that within these ten seconds, an enemy wishing to attack Luo Hai must first break through the Energy Shield it provides. Meanwhile, Luo Hai can attack his enemy with impunity! For a Level 6 Breakthrough Achiever, ten seconds is enough to do many things!

The brilliant white light slammed squarely into the child. Depleted of stamina, the child had no way to mount any effective defense against Luo Hai’s onslaught. The terrifying energy within the scorching white light made the child feel as if he were trapped in a giant crucible. His skin visibly withered and burned. The agonizing pain forced uncontrollable, piercing screams from him.

However, kindness to an enemy is cruelty to oneself. Luo Hai showed no hesitation. His right hand clenched, and a colossal hand condensed from white light instantly appeared at his right side. The colossal hand moved with the agility and flexibility of Luo Hai’s own limb. Accompanied by a deafening Sound Explosion, it seized the child’s body and then squeezed viciously!

One careless move, and the entire game is lost...

Feeling the crushing pressure on his body and the searing white light enveloping him, the child, his stamina utterly depleted, found himself incapable of any movement. Despair instantly flooded his mind.

It’s over...
