Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Leaving that space, Wen Yu directly blew up the small hole they came through, ensuring there were no loopholes before turning back to penetrate the magma layer and returning along the path opened by the Origin Extraction Device.

Having lost its top barrier-breaking mechanism, the Origin Extraction Device was no longer able to break through the strata. When Wen Yu returned, the device was slowly retracting, seemingly not wanting to engage in futile efforts anymore.

This also signaled the end of the Origin Extraction Device’s descent event.

Going upwards through the passage, he picked up the Darkness Puppet halfway and soon arrived at the exit of the Dimensional Maze.

Accompanied by the flash of dizziness from teleportation, the next second, Wen Yu was already inside the Dimensional Maze.

Before Wen Yu could regain his senses, a voice full of excitement came through: ”Did it succeed? I knew you could do it!”

The excited voice interrupted Wen Yu’s anxiety and hesitation. Looking up, he saw Fran and Kasu in front of him. Wen Yu asked expressionlessly, ”How did you get in here?”

This was the battleground of Wen Yu and Uxas, a Danger Ground of certain death for both of them.

Fran remained silent, but Kasu scratched his head: ”We were just worried, so at intervals, we sent scouts to check in. The first one sent noticed that both of you were gone, and I guessed you already took care of that guy named Uxas.”

Kasu’s words continued nonstop until Fran spoke.

”Did it succeed?”

Just as he wanted to say something unexpected happened below, Wen Yu repressed it forcefully.

After a moment of silence, Wen Yu nodded slightly: ”No problem, I took out Uxas and destroyed the Origin Extraction Device. There are still some remnants below that you can recover and study. Also, the big hole made by the Origin Extraction Device, I think you should send people to fill it up to prevent another device from descending.”

Wen Yu briefly explained, and Fran nodded in agreement. Seeing Wen Yu walk straight out seemingly preoccupied, Fran hesitated for a moment before speaking.

”That... you know, this matter isn’t over yet, regarding Tang Two’s issue.”

Wen Yu paused.

”I remember. Where is Tang Haofei?”

”Still inside the treasure land and hasn’t come out, but the remaining Life Brand hasn’t shattered, proving that he isn’t dead yet. But as for the specifics, we don’t know.”

The Life Brand, obtained from the treasure land, a product of the military’s research team, mass-produced an item that’s fantasize-cracked, connecting with the user’s Soul. When a person dies, the brand shatters, serving as a warning.

Hearing Fran’s words, Wen Yu narrowed his eyes.

”I will wait for him outside, make the necessary preparations.”

...

Outside, the battle was fiercely intense.

Due to the Origin Extraction Device being just a pitch-black tube whose ascent and retraction couldn’t be discerned by the naked eye, the warriors outside were completely unaware of what happened inside the Dimensional Maze and behind them. Up to now, they were still in the dark about the mission’s success.

However, it didn’t matter. On a grand scale, the outside battle was already heading towards stability. The Demon Fiend’s formed defense line was riddled with holes long ago. Even the revived Four-headed Mountain Giant puppets had two heads shattered under Victor and Faceless’s joint attacks.

When Wen Yu came out of the Dimensional Maze, the battle was already in its concluding stage.

In front were Victor and Faceless, both flying around the remaining two Mountain Giants, with countless stone chips falling like meteors from the sky. The two even had the leisure to greet Wen Yu, indicating the situation was well under control.

Below was a chaotic battlefield stretching as far as the eye could see.

Just stepping out of the Dimensional Maze, Wen Yu still harbored pent-up frustration. In the noisy surroundings filled with ceaseless shouting and killing, Wen Yu slowly squinted his eyes, the fire in his chest gradually igniting.

What happened at the Earth’s nucleus origin was beyond Wen Yu’s control. Previously, Wen Yu didn’t have absolute power to control the situation. However, after the Heavenly Palace excursion, having mastered the Soul Abiogenetic Creation Skill, even in a perilous land like Battle Zone Africa, Wen Yu had merely used a few months of operation time to completely cripple the battle zone. He thought his current strength was enough to face everything, yet reality still dealt him a heavy blow.

I need to continue growing stronger; I need more Creation Energy and physical attributes. More importantly, I need to vent...

The flame of anger began to rise, and thus, everything reached a complete conclusion.

...

When the Black Light scattered out, the entire battlefield fell silent.

Looking at the figure floating in the sky, like a black hole, drawing in the surrounding light, turning everything into pure black hell.

Darkness enveloped the land, stripping all beings of their Perception Ability, excluding Faceless. Even Victor, at this moment, felt profound hopelessness and helplessness.

The next second, the chattering sound emerged from the depths of the darkness. Victor heard the roars and growls of Mountain Giants beside him and the biting sounds coming from their bodies. As the darkness spread, the biting sounds grew louder and fiercer until the cries, wails, and confused voices resonated across the battlefield, then slowly subsided.

Everything ended within an extremely short time. When the darkness receded and sunlight re-covered the land, all Humans and mutant beasts saw only their former opponent had become a headless corpse.

The throat bore a grotesque bite mark as if bitten down by a vicious dog, with blood gushing out. The bodies of Demon Fiends, either towering, grotesque, or bizarre, toppled on the ground, followed by green vines spreading from above. Endless vines wove a massive net in the air, covering the entire battlefield.

The vines entangled Demon Beast Corpses, like grotesque tumors, with paths of imperceptible Light of the soul flowing and surging into Wen Yu’s body, while Sequence Number 2, having orchestrated everything, surveyed the ground below coldly, waiting until the uniform sound of gasping reverberated across the battlefield.

Once, when Tang Haofei broke through the Level Lock at Level 6, he single-handedly swept away all the Demon Fiends outside Yanjing Assembly Site. Now, Wen Yu, just in a breath, wiped out the peripheral defense line of the Origin Extraction Device.

Their Lord Protector God was flamboyant and domineering, overflowing with reckless power. With a wave of hand, crushing power surged forth. This power undoubtedly provided immense security to life forms on the same side. However, Wen Yu was different. Wen Yu’s dark power, with its insidiousness and ferocity, even knowing that Sequence Number 2 was among their powerful allies, yet when darkness enveloped, inevitably instilled fear and despair.

One after another, shocked and bewildered eyes shot at the figure floating in the sky, then exchanged glances among themselves—this marked the first time Wen Yu publicly displayed his power, which to the ordinary professionist, was indistinguishable from Tang Haofei’s recent performance.

They couldn’t tell who was stronger or weaker...

Likewise, the just-experienced fear and despair, like life held in others’ hands, prevented them from feeling any excitement or thrill.

Until the command from headquarters arrived.

”Order, everyone regroup and withdraw from the battlefield.”

Thus, the troops began to retreat, while the person in the sky just looked upwards.

He was waiting, waiting to fulfill his promise.
