Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

After a while, when Wen Yu had eaten and drunk to his satisfaction, Bai finally spoke.

”Is the preparation work done?”

Upon hearing this, Wen Yu nodded, then rummaged through his space ring for a moment and tossed out two corpses.

Bull head and Amida.

The bull head’s appearance could still be described; it merely had a big hole in its head. But Amida... this guy died quite miserably, his body torn apart and left as a shapeless mass of meat by Wen Yu.

The two bodies were casually thrown on the ground by Wen Yu. Then, Wen Yu again rummaged through his space ring, taking out two crystal-clear magic crystals and placing them on the table.

The two Level 11 magic crystals and the bodies of two Level 11 powerful experts were the spoils of this battle, and also the key to the next plan.

Seeing the corpses casually thrown aside by Wen Yu, Bai and Ye Nan showed no reaction. However, the Level 11 demon fiend Leoja’s eyes flashed as he stared at the magic crystals and bodies, his compound eyes filled with greed, until he met Wen Yu’s gaze.

Those eyes were full of mockery and teasing, even carrying a hint of a smile and expectation, a mixture of complex emotions, causing Leoja to squint his eyes slowly.

A Level 11 powerful expert is a treasure in itself... and the quickest and most effective way for a Level 11 powerful expert to strengthen themselves is by devouring everything of another Level 11 powerful expert!

It wants to devour Wen Yu’s spoils to strengthen itself, but Wen Yu also wouldn’t mind offering a lavish feast to the Cyclops...

For a moment, the two strongest beings in the great hall were at a deadlock.

Until Bai looked at the corpse of Bull Head, exclaiming in shock, ”This guy... I know him.”

”Oh?”

”Treasure Land Protector Number 87, used to be quite a figure in the Universe of Immortals and Heroes. I didn’t expect you actually killed him. Oh, I remember he belonged to the group of Protector Number 7...”

”You’re talking about Lin Sai, right? That dwarf who was only 1.2 meters tall; he also died.”

Wen Yu succinctly explained his results this time, and as soon as he finished speaking, Bai drew a sharp breath—perhaps others didn’t know Lin Sai’s value, but Bai was all too clear.

In the past, during his peak, he was only comparable to Lin Sai, and the fact that Wen Yu could kill Lin Sai was so significant that Bai, upon a simple thought, was left speechless.

And Leoja, confronted with Wen Yu’s achievements, temporarily set his thoughts aside and became silent once more—a swift slaughter of three Treasure Land protectors, although Leoja was not familiar with Lin Sai’s true strength, being able to kill Level 11 strong experts ultimately showcased its combat capability. Such a character wouldn’t easily ruin relations over a bit of power.

After a brief silence in the hall, Bai finally spoke again.

”To solve your problem, I am still missing one thing.”

”What thing?”

”A shard of the Demon Realm’s Core.”

When he heard this familiar term, Wen Yu frowned slightly, recalling what Tang Haofei had told him during the first Sequence Member-Ranking Battle.

At that time, Tang Haofei had vaguely hinted that the shard of the Demon Realm’s Core had some relation with breaking free from the control of the Dominator, but how precisely, now Wen Yu knew more than Old Tang ever did. Wen Yu had conducted several experiments, yet the black crystal on the demon spawn’s head, although resembling the shard of Demon Realm’s Core, would vanish upon the demon spawn’s death—proving that they are entirely different things.

In other words, Wen Yu indeed did not currently possess a shard of the Demon Realm’s Core.

Perhaps seeing Wen Yu’s confusion, Bai began to explain.

”The shard of the Demon Realm’s Core is similar to the crystal on the demon spawn’s forehead, well, essentially not much different, just that the crystal on the forehead of an ordinary demon spawn hasn’t matured yet, and as soon as the demon spawn dies, it immediately disintegrates, but a Level 11 demon fiend is different.”

”The shard of the Demon Realm’s Core I’m talking about is actually that thing on a Level 11 demon fiend’s head.”

As soon as Bai finished speaking, Wen Yu’s gaze immediately shifted to Leoja, the gaze unique to a predator causing Leoja to shiver.

Although he did not understand why he, a Level 11 demon fiend, would fear a Level 7 professionist, considering Wen Yu could pull out two Treasure Land Protector corpses, this kind of character indeed warrants Leoja’s caution.

Until Ye Nan poured wine for Wen Yu with a smile to ease the awkward atmosphere.

”Leoja, you must not act.”

Bai also advised with a smile, then shifted the topic back to the shard of the Demon Realm’s Core.

”I already have a general target, now it’s just a matter of acting. If you’re not in a hurry, you can wait ten to twenty years, I will definitely get hold of it. If you are anxious though...”

”Are you sure you only lack one shard of the Demon Realm’s Core?”

Wen Yu asked Bai, squinting his eyes, until Bai nodded, then Wen Yu pondered for a while before speaking again.

”Where is your target, tell me, I’ll act directly, lest complications arise.”

After a brief thought, Bai provided a coordinate, then Wen Yu, ignoring the banquet held in his honor, turned into a flash of black light and disappeared in an instant.

...

After Wen Yu left, the atmosphere in the hall finally returned to calm.

”This is your Sequence Number 1... Tsk tsk, what a terrifying feeling.”

One of Ye Nan’s Avengers spoke, licking his lips as he looked at Wen Yu’s seat, feeling scared to death by the scene of Wen Yu’s confrontation with Leoja.

Leoja, however, coldly snorted.

”That target is not so easily handled, I hope Lord Sequence Number 1 doesn’t bite off more than he can chew.”

”A moderately sized city, a Level 11 demon fiend, plus over a million high-level Devil Army, hehe, we ourselves would need careful planning to take the Second City in the Wilderness Border Area; I just wonder if Lord Sequence Number 1 can bring us some surprises...”

Ye Nan grinned, as if expecting Wen Yu’s defeat, whereas Bai calmly watched the two corpses thrown carelessly to the ground, making no comment.

Approximately ten minutes later, accompanied by the emergence of black light, Wen Yu’s figure returned to its original position; he gently nodded at Bai, then rummaged through the space ring again until he dragged out a large creature covered in scorch marks, resembling a crow.

”Is this what you meant?”

”The Second City Master? How is this possible!”

Confronted with the familiar corpse, Leoja’s eyes almost bulged out, and Ye Nan shivered all over, looking at the lifeless Level 11 old monster, murmuring incoherently.

”This is indeed the one.”

Bai showed no surprise—anyone who could deal with Lin Sai could very easily handle an eleventh-level old monster with a physique merely worth millions.

”Oh, and a presumptuous question, how did you deal with that city?”

”Oh, you’re talking about that settlement...”

Wen Yu shrugged casually.

”I was a bit heavy-handed, the city didn’t hold out, now it might have become a bottomless pit. You know, in the Demon Realm, I don’t have to worry about many things...”

Wen Yu briefly recounted his achievements, while Bai merely nodded, then spoke to Leoja.

”Prepare a secret room for us.”

”Yes, my lords.”

This time, Leoja’s attitude towards Wen Yu had become much more cordial.
