Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts-Chapter 494 - 83 Absorb_1

After acquiring the Soul Battlefield, Wen Yu discovered a flaw, though not a particularly significant one.

Creatures devoured by the Soul Battlefield would vanish entirely, body and soul, becoming nourishment to enhance Wen Yu’s Soul Power.

This aspect overlapped with the effects of the Almighty Demon Vine devouring flesh and blood, the Cyclops’s Great Feast, and even the Book of Black Summoning Chapter.

Of course, this was only a minor problem. At most, I merely needed to be a bit more diligent and kill a few more Demon Fiends.

His numerous methods for absorbing nourishment from both body and soul were the ultimate trump cards that gave him the confidence to charge into the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier!

...

The Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier, a super strategic weapon created by the Demon Tribe, packed truly formidable power!

When Wen Yu learned about the nature of this barrier and its solution from outside, he had even, for a moment, considered abandoning Victor...

The most terrifying aspect of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier wasn’t its impregnation and cultivation capabilities, but its nearly perfect energy circulation system!

When synthetic creatures bred within the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier died, they, much like low-level Demon Cannon Fodders, would be decomposed and absorbed by the barrier, converting them into energy. Part of this energy reinforced the barrier’s defenses, while the other part was used to cultivate new synthetic beasts. The barrier could even autonomously determine the distribution ratio, with nearly negligible energy loss.

Only after Wen Yu researched his own items and skills did he finally resolve to enter this place.

Firstly, through Darkness, Wen Yu could continuously maintain an elementalized physique. In this state, as long as his stamina wasn’t depleted, Wen Yu wouldn’t bleed, making it impossible for the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier to duplicate him.

And as for stamina, Wen Yu could also absorb it through Darkness!

Faceless, however, needed to be more cautious. Wen Yu wasn’t sure if, upon duplicating Faceless, the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier would obtain Tang Haofei’s genes or Faceless’s own.

Of course, with Faceless’s strength, merely being a little careful would suffice.

Most critically, Wen Yu’s Almighty Demon Vine and Soul Battlefield were the fundamental means to break this energy cycle—Wen Yu could absorb and seize energy!

The Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier required external Demon Fiends as nourishment, and this nourishment was precisely what Wen Yu also desired—both the Almighty Demon Vine and the Soul Battlefield could elevate Wen Yu’s maximum power!

However... As the saying goes, a prolonged defense is bound to fail; being trapped here wasn’t a good solution either... And the solution to this predicament...

Thinking of this, Wen Yu sighed lightly.

He knew the solution, but its difficulty was truly significant...

Gently shaking his head, Wen Yu cast aside the jumbled thoughts in his mind and shifted his gaze to the two battlefields not far ahead.

One genuine Arthur and two duplicants.

Faceless versus four deceased Arthurs.

The situation with the three Arthurs was relatively manageable. Although the real Arthur was low on stamina, his defensive capabilities were nothing to scoff at. According to Wen Yu’s calculations, Arthur could hold out for at least a few more hours...

Faceless’s battle, however, looked somewhat desperate.

The four deceased Arthurs’ attacks were ineffective; with Faceless’s incredible speed, they couldn’t even touch the hem of his clothes. However, their defensive capabilities were truly exceptional.

Regardless of whether Faceless engaged in close combat or invoked Thunder using the Power of Heaven and Earth, he could do nothing against the four deceased Arthurs.

Although the Power of Heaven and Earth was Esoteric Level, it wasn’t a purely offensive ability. Facing SSS-Class defensive abilities, it still couldn’t completely bypass them.

Faceless relentlessly hammered his fists against the deceased Arthurs’ bodies while evading their attacks—not getting injured was the absolute bottom line, even more crucial than killing the enemy.

Torrential fists hammered into the deceased Arthurs, sending them flying back. Simultaneously, flashes of lightning and an earthen-yellow glow constantly circulated, layering negative statuses like paralysis and increased gravity upon the deceased Arthurs, noticeably slowing the speed of these few Vengeance Spirits.

Seeing this, Wen Yu narrowed his eyes and quickly asked the nearby Arthur.

"Arthur, is your defensive ability susceptible to negative statuses?"

Arthur, while dodging an attack from his duplicant, gritted his teeth. After a long moment, he managed to force out a single word.

"It is!"

Wen Yu nodded, sighing inwardly.

The skill isn’t bad, but its weakness is too glaring...

This was also why Arthur hesitated. Having the weakness of his Core Skill, Undefeated Glory, exposed by someone else, and worse, having to admit it himself—that feeling was definitely unpleasant.

With this in mind, Wen Yu already had a plan to deal with Arthur’s duplicants.

...

In this world, there are no absolutely perfect skills. The seemingly powerful Undefeated Glory actually possessed a huge weakness!

With Arthur’s Undefeated Glory, he had absolutely nothing to fear in a direct confrontation. Perhaps even a Tang Haofei at full power would need to expend considerable effort to completely defeat Arthur—after all, Tang Haofei didn’t possess an ultra-strong burst-type skill like the Profound Sword Technique.

However, Wen Yu happened to be Arthur’s perfect counter!

This was because Wen Yu’s Skill System wasn’t geared towards direct confrontation like a warrior’s; it focused more on Control!

Slowly, Wen Yu raised his hand, and a dark Shadow began to swirl around it.

In the next instant, six dark Energy Fluctuations shot from his hand. They transformed into strange, whip-like forms in mid-air and then, with lightning speed, surged towards the two Arthur duplicants and the four deceased Arthurs.
