Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Bodhi Mind Pill (Species-specific Esoteric Level Item): Legend states that it was refined using the relics of 999 high monks from the Temple of Great Compassion, containing endless Buddhist principles and power.

Once used, it significantly enhances the user’s soul power while increasing the cohesion of the soul body, nullifying any soul-based attack skills below S-class and illusion technique skills below SS-class.

Dragon Source Crystal (Species-specific Esoteric Level Item): Made from the remains and spirit essence of ten Five-clawed Golden Dragons from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, combined with the Origin Energy from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, it increases the user’s physique by 10,000 points, with effects doubled for the Dragon Race!

Beneath the Dragon Source Crystal, a small note is thoughtfully attached, stating: ”Due to its contained Origin Energy from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, if consumed by divine beasts from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, the enhancement in physique will likewise double, significantly strengthening the species innate talent of the divine beasts from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes.”

Two elixir pills, and clearly refined by Heavenly Dao as a fine piece for oneself! As for the content on the note, it’s likely to prevent myself from giving the Dragon Source Crystal to Star to consume.

After a short contemplation, Wen Yu immediately stuffed the two elixir pills into his mouth.

Two streams of pure energy burst from the mouth, one swiftly surged upwards, drilling into Wen Yu’s mind, making his mind feel icy cold. The other sank downward, into his stomach, then continuously emitted heat from the stomach.

The cold above and heat below made Wen Yu feel quite stimulated.

The transformation process from the elixir was not slow; the ”pleasure” on the body came quickly and faded as fast. After a while, once both elixir pills had been fully digested, Wen Yu gently moved his body.

Physique: 43,356 points! As a species of divine beast from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, after undergoing the enhancement from the Dragon Source Crystal, 1 point in physique equaled 6 points for non-divine beast species!

As for soul power, there was no clear estimate, but from Wen Yu’s feeling, the strength of his soul power was at least 30 times that of his physical body strength!

Most of the gap was due to absorbing the massive soul light sphere during his time on the seventh floor of the Heavenly Palace.

When everything was over, Wen Yu clenched his fists firmly and sensed the vast soul power within him once more.

Thinking back to when Tang Haofei died five times and sat atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, looking down at him, and now thinking about it, Tang Haofei was not invincible to Wen Yu after all!

Shaking his head in self-deprecation, Wen Yu deeply reflected on his recent ”dangerous” thought; whether he could defeat him was one thing, whether or not to fight was another. As an Independent, being cautious had been engraved in Wen Yu’s marrow, and having any dispute with Tang Haofei was not the outcome Wen Yu wanted to see.

Subsequently, Wen Yu took out the next item from his space ring.

…

This was a scroll.

When Wen Yu held it in his hands, the prompt in his mind had already echoed.

”Star Mobilization Skill (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Active Skill): Awakens the power of the stars, bringing endless disasters and calamities to the world. Once activated, the host will forcibly break the dimensional barrier and summon meteors from beyond the sky to bombard the target. When the meteors land, the host can detonate them to cause secondary damage. The higher the host’s physique, the more stamina is consumed when activating the skill, and the larger the summoned meteors will be. Additionally, this skill allows the host’s will to summon multiple meteors.”

”Have you seen a meteor shower before? Tsk tsk tsk, I have, and it truly was beautiful. Of course, appreciating such a spectacle comes at a price!”

Powerful group attack skill, and judging from the skill description, this ”group” might be larger than Wen Yu’s imagination.

Of course, Wen Yu had his own understanding regarding such skills: army-purposed skills.

A skill, an army, simple, efficient, quick, and powerful!

However, this Esoteric Level skill did leave Wen Yu a bit troubled.

According to Wen Yu’s understanding, this skill should be similar to the final meteor that descended from the sky in Las Vegas—its ability to destroy a city naturally left a deep impression on Wen Yu; it was comparable to a nuclear bomb.

But having this skill in Wen Yu’s hands seemed to be like casting pearls before swine—a large-range attack skill was something Wen Yu already possessed, such as Pitch-dark Divine Light. Plus, this skill did not align with Wen Yu’s own ability system, so Wen Yu absolutely wouldn’t learn it.

As for his soul pets, due to the summoning function of the Soul Realm space, their flexibility needs no further explanation. Considering Wen Yu’s fighting style and the nature of being an Independent… Star Mobilization Skill, in Wen Yu’s hands, indeed seemed rather useless.

With this thought, Wen Yu placed the Star Mobilization Skill scroll back into the space ring, knowing that an Esoteric Level skill scroll, whether for personal use or trade in the future, would certainly be a valuable asset.

The next second, another skill scroll appeared in Wen Yu’s hand.

…

”Mountain Observing Technique (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Passive Skill): By contemplating the vastness of mountains, comprehending the majesty of mountains, after learning this skill, whenever the host sees a mountain with the naked eye, they will receive ’Wonderful Rewards.’”

”Wonderful Rewards: Includes but is not limited to enhancements to physique limits, additional enhancement of physical defense power, mastery of earth power, etc., with the larger the mountain, the greater the rewards obtained. Furthermore, it can be contemplated repeatedly.”

Undoubtedly, a Limit Breakthrough skill! Although it doesn’t increase hard combat power, those who’ve used it know the value of a Limit Breakthrough skill!

And this Mountain Observing...

Contemplating the skill scroll in his hand, Wen Yu shook his head with a smile. This thing seemed to carry a bit of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes’ characteristic.

…

Wen Yu’s three primary battle soul pets each had their own fighting style.

Cyclops’s skill system revolves around Ultra Mortal Combat, a desperate fight style. Although defense capability is important to Cyclops, having the Great Feast, Cyclops doesn’t need another Limit Breakthrough Level ability—after all, a Limit Breakthrough skill isn’t something to toss around lightly according to Wen Yu!

Victor leans more towards scouting, concealing, and assassination. Such a ”weighty” Mountain Observing would seem mismatched for Victor in Wen Yu’s opinion.

Hence, assigning this skill to Star would obviously be the best choice.

With this thought, Wen Yu looked at Star’s skills, pondering for a long time, then once again returned the skill scroll into the space ring.

Star’s five skills weren’t something Wen Yu was willing to give up. It would be better to wait until reaching Level 6, allowing the sixth skill to generate, and then considering comprehensively.

During the long period together in the Heavenly Palace with Tang Haofei, Wen Yu had subtly probed this issue. According to Tang Haofei, given the current intense war realms in India, Europe, and Africa, research by the Strategic Command Center suggested that the Level Lock would soon be broken—breaking the Level Lock from Level 5 to Level 6 merely requires slaughtering Earth’s native creatures and destroying Earth’s ecosystem, a task not difficult for the Demon Tribe.

…

After putting Mountain Observing into his space ring, Wen Yu looked at the space ring he was holding.

At this moment, the space ring was empty, leaving only a dim, earth-yellow crystal lying alone at the center of the space ring.
