Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

From afar, Wen Yu naturally sensed the unusual movements of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree at the first moment.

Not only did Wen Yu perceive the raging aura emanating from the Catastrophe Ancient Tree, but even the Sky Eye System of the Earth Community detected the mountain-like body of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree instantly.

Thousands of miles away, at the Yanjing Assembly Site.

Upon realizing the appearance of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree, Wei Tian made an independent decision to gather a special warhead, and fired it at the location of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree through the latest fire control system, with precise positioning from the Sky Eye System.

The silver-white warhead was hidden within countless ordinary missiles, resembling a single black raindrop concealing among the downpour, impossible to distinguish.

In the smoke-filled battlefield, with the missile bombardment covering most of the African Continent, nobody would notice the deadly strike from above!

”Buzzing...”

The overwhelming buzzing sound resonated continuously, and under the deliberate control of the Earth Community, a portion of the missiles precisely covered the moving trajectory of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree, and then exploded around it.

Intense firelight flickered around the Catastrophe Ancient Tree, and it impatiently swung its branches, as if trying to drive away these annoying little flies.

The enormous body passed through the firelight, astonishingly unscathed—merely a missile, failing to even breach the surface of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree!

The anticipated situation caused no emotional disturbance in Wei Tian’s heart. Watching the real-time scenario transmitted by the Sky Eye, Wei Tian closely monitored the map’s silver missile trajectory until the two were about to meet.

...

As a soul abiogenetic creation, the Catastrophe Ancient Tree, though without a soul, indeed possesses intelligence.

Similar to artificial intelligence, the powerful effects of Soul Abiogenetic Creation Skill endow the wisdom of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree with capabilities comparable to common people.

However, the wisdom of common people ultimately has its limitations.

”Bang!”

The Catastrophe Ancient Tree swung a branch directly against an intercontinental missile.

The sharp branch scraped across the metal shell, instantly ripping and damaging it. The destroyed missile exploded upon impact, merely feeling like a cool breeze upon the Catastrophe Ancient Tree.

Indifferent,

without any effect.

A single missile feels like a cool breeze; hundreds of missiles cannot transform into a storm—this exemplifies how quantity cannot make up for a qualitative gap!

The purple aura on the Catastrophe Ancient Tree grew increasingly thick, and the tree knots all over its body oozed with foul-smelling sticky liquid; upon closer inspection, the cracks on these tree knots appeared slightly larger than when the Catastrophe Ancient Tree initially activated.

As the Catastrophe Ancient Tree drew nearer, even Wen Yu standing on the city wall could see its gigantic body. At this moment, Wen Yu had to consider the second dilemma he faced…

In order to solve the matter of the Third Generation Seed of Flames, Wen Yu had dispatched all of his soul pets, and now confronted by the approaching Catastrophe Ancient Tree, Wen Yu suddenly found himself in a predicament with no available soldiers—should he personally take out that creature?

No, that can’t be done…

Wen Yu’s goal is to safeguard the New Hope Assembly Site for two days, waiting for the anticipated birth of the Soul Pet No. 6. If he were to be entangled by the gigantic tree, without the Almighty Demon Vine and Pitch-dark Light Barrier, who could withstand the overwhelming demonic tide?

But letting the Catastrophe Ancient Tree through…is also not practicable…

Who knows how strong that tree is? If it were on par with Wen Yu and they engaged in an intense battle near New Hope Assembly Site, New Hope Assembly Site would still suffer—perhaps even before the demonic tide arrives, Wen Yu himself could inadvertently obliterate it!

Just one Catastrophe Ancient Tree thrust Wen Yu back into a dilemma—on one hand, the lack of power, as strength is something no one ever despises when having enough.

On the other hand, there’s the limitation associated with being an Independent—Wen Yu wishes to contend against the entire Demon Tribe battle zone alone; unless he resorts to guerrilla tactics, situations like now, being besieged in a single area, truly yield no benefits.

What once happened at the Las Vegas Assembly Site now bears a great resemblance to the current scenario.

Yet, the former Las Vegas, Wen Yu could forsake it without concern, but now,

Wen Yu worryingly glanced at the New Hope Assembly Site behind him—the unborn Soul Pet No. 6 had already presented him with a difficult choice…

Fortunately, Wei Tian’s autonomous decision effectively made the choice for Wen Yu!

...

The silver special warhead, mixed among the sky-full missiles, descended from the sky with a wild roar.

At the same time, at least hundreds of missiles descended together, the whistling sound explosion they created made the sound of the silver warhead nearly indiscernible.

The Catastrophe Ancient Tree didn’t notice, even if it did, it wouldn’t care about these ”small flies”.

So, unsurprisingly, the silver warhead hit the target directly!

...

”Sss.”

In direct contact with the Catastrophe Ancient Tree, the silver warhead made a crisp sound the moment it hit the tree crown, and then countless complex dense runes flashed across the warhead!

The warhead didn’t explode; at that moment, the silver warhead seemed to turn into an unstoppable arrow, its tip filled with a dense silver light, and the one-meter-long shell swiftly rotated, instantly drilling into the trunk of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree!

The Catastrophe Ancient Tree sensed some foreign object drilling into its body, its footsteps paused instantly, and the next second, a dull sound exploded from its body.

With a ”poof,” Wen Yu standing on the city wall in the distance only saw a white light erupt from the Catastrophe Ancient Tree’s body, followed by the nearly thousand-meter-high massive tree creature frantically bouncing as if dancing disco with the endless missile roars, the dense white light rendered the Catastrophe Ancient Tree like a second sun, the terrifying heat instantly evaporating everything moveable around the Catastrophe Ancient Tree.

The next second, the white light detonated fiercely!

”Boom!”

The gust of wind from the explosion made Wen Yu’s Heaven-covering Robe roar fiercely, staring at the distant white light, Wen Yu’s gaze had never been so grave.

...

”Success!”

At the Yanjing Assembly Site, the commander in the terminal fire control room excitedly slammed the table, he even imagined the scene where the massive tree creature was turned into debris by the latest Runic Missile.

The new Runic Missile was developed by Cathay military after obtaining the technology from the Heavenly Palace. Although its strike range is not large, the damage it can cause within its attack radius is even more terrifying than that of nuclear weapons.

Its horrific lethality means a huge cost; on average, a Runic Missile costs about 10 to 20 million points, in other words, using this thing to crush the Demon Fiend is absolutely a loss...

But soldiers don’t consider costs; they only consider combat results.

As it seems now...

”Sigh.”

A sigh from beside attracted the commander’s attention, turning around, the commander saw Wei Tian’s dim expression.

Then, the command from the Xuanwu War God echoed: ”Prepare the nuclear weapon.”

Upon hearing this news, the commander suddenly turned his head to look at the position of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree in the picture.

There, the dust and smoke from the explosion slowly dispersed, and the massive silhouette of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree reappeared before everyone’s eyes.

Originally a terrifying thousand-meter-high form, now more than half of it had been blasted away by the Runic Missile, the lush tree crown was in shambles, some places still had tiny flames burning.

The straight trunk was full of cracks, the disgusting wens on the trunk oozing more purple liquid, making the Catastrophe Ancient Tree seem enveloped in a dense purple glow.

”Hoo... inhale... hoo... inhale...”

The remaining wens contracted and expanded, like a dying person gasping for air, and the next second, the Catastrophe Ancient Tree slowly shook its body.

”Moo!!!”

Countless wens opened, emitting bursts of dull screeches, like suppressed low growls, low sound waves spreading all around, then, the wens on the Catastrophe Ancient Tree crazily grinned like ferocious mouths, deep purple tendrils madly surged out from the wens, instantly covering the surrounding ground.

The dense wriggling sound made the commander get goosebumps, he watched as these dark purple tendrils quickly spread towards the distance until they touched the nearest Demon Fiend to the Catastrophe Ancient Tree.

The tendrils wrapped around the Demon Fiend, completely ignoring its desperate wails, and in a flash, retracted into the body of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree!

One warty nub spewed out about dozens of tendrils, and the Catastrophe Ancient Tree had thousands upon thousands of such wens!

At that moment, the tendrils originating from the body of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree wove into a massive network between heaven and earth, each tendril entwined different levels of Demon Fiends, directly dragging these Demon Fiends into the body of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree!
