CHAPTER 485: CHAPTER 78: THE SOUL BATTLEFIELD AND VICTOR’S CALL FOR HELP_2

Upon hearing Akad’s clearly softened words, a hint of an unusual gleam flashed through Wanping’s eyes.

Whether you forget me... It doesn’t matter... As long as...

Wanping gave a barely noticeable bow to Akad, saying, "It’s my honor!"

When the whole world was plunged into war, Wen Yu, who was far away in the Red Stone Grand Canyon, slowly opened his eyes.

The intense pain in his body instantly caused a layer of cold sweat to form on Wen Yu’s forehead.

The Annihilation of All Beings is said to consume all one’s remaining energy, but... I truly hadn’t expected that instantly consuming all my strength would feel this oppressive...

He barely controlled his body. Luckily, he had slept for a while, and his strength had recovered slightly, allowing him to make small movements. With great effort, Wen Yu opened his eyes. The sight that met him was the faceless Tang Haofei; Qin Tian was nowhere to be seen.

"UM..."

Wen Yu barely opened his mouth, blurting out an indistinct tone. Then he remembered that Faceless wouldn’t understand his words. Even if he used Spiritual Fluctuation to control Faceless, he couldn’t convey anything complex.

After some thought, Wen Yu directly deactivated his combat status.

The moment he deactivated his combat status, a more profound exhaustion surged through his body.

Back when I was in combat status, the little Soul Beast took on most of the pressure for me, which allowed me to regain consciousness so quickly. Deactivating combat status now, tsk tsk... What a bittersweet feeling...

He directly summoned Cyclops and Star from the Soul Realm space.

"Protect me..."

Then, Wen Yu fell asleep once more.

When Wen Yu woke up again, his head felt like it was spinning.

Squinting, I can’t move my body at all, Wen Yu thought.

"How long was I out?" his hoarse voice rasped.

"It’s been 2 hours since I came out. Boss, are you alright?" Star replied.

Wen Yu slightly shook his head, then struggled to reach his space ring with his right hand, pulling out a large pile of medicinal potions.

"Energy Recovery Potion. Find one and feed it to me."

He gave the command to Star, who was beside him. Star’s small claws nimbly sifted through the medicinal potions on the ground. After a moment, it picked up an Energy Recovery Potion, bit off the wooden stopper, aimed it at Wen Yu’s mouth, and pushed it in.

The cool liquid slowly flowed down his throat. Wen Yu felt as if his body was like withered wood welcoming spring, every cell beginning to boil with vitality.

After a while, when the effects of the Energy Recovery Potion had fully set in, Wen Yu slowly sat up. He then found more Energy Recovery Potions among the bottles on the ground and poured them into his mouth.

"PHEW!"

He deeply exhaled a turbid breath, then surveyed his surroundings.

In the distance, the massive corpse of the Giant Beast lay sprawled. Not only was it headless, but Cyclops was also on top of it, frantically tearing at its flesh.

Under the effects of Great Feast and Wen Yu’s extraordinarily sharp vision, he could clearly see Cyclops’s body slowly growing—larger, sturdier, its teeth sharper!

The transformation brought about by Great Feast was truly visible to the naked eye!

At this moment, Wen Yu finally understood why Great Feast was classified as an Esoteric Level skill.

According to Cyclops’s feedback, after consuming only half of the Giant Beast’s body, its physical attribute cap has already increased by 20 points! Moreover, its muscles and bones have become sturdier! The growth of bones and muscles means stronger explosive power at the same level of physical attributes! It’s predictable how drastically its physique and combat strength will change when Cyclops devours more Demon Fiends!

Slowly standing up, Wen Yu briefly assessed his recovery from the energy depletion.

For now, apart from feeling a bit weak, there seem to be no lingering side effects...

Then, Wen Yu pulled the Soul Shattering Mirror from his chest and began to examine his biggest gain this time—the Soul Battlefield!

The once-smooth surface of the Soul Shattering Mirror had become slightly hazy. Vaguely, Wen Yu could see faint, aimless shadows resembling Argus drifting within it.

He gripped the Soul Shattering Mirror tightly, the muscles in his hand subtly flexing. This action, in concert with the Soul Shattering Mirror, unleashed wave after wave of Soul Strikes that frantically surged into the Shattered Soul Realm.

Wen Yu could even hear Argus’s Soul Fragments within the Shattered Soul Realm roaring and howling incessantly before gradually falling silent.

After a while, once everything had calmed, Wen Yu slowly unclenched his hand and looked directly into the Soul Shattering Mirror.

Inside, the hazy mist had completely vanished, replaced by a glittering Crystal.

Wen Yu slowly reached out his right hand and gently tapped the mirror’s surface.

The surface of the Soul Shattering Mirror rippled like water twice. Then, Wen Yu’s right hand passed unimpeded into the mirror. He gently pinched the Crystal Stone inside with two fingers and slowly withdrew his hand, the Crystal Stone now resting quietly in his palm.

Skill Crystal (Soul Battlefield) (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Active Ability) (Soul Master Exclusive): This is a Skill Crystal, condensed using specific locational methods, containing a single skill. Only Soul Masters can use it.

Usage: Before use, ensure the Soul Beast has an empty skill slot. Then, have the Soul Beast swallow the Skill Crystal to acquire the skill contained within.

After reading the Skill Crystal’s description, Wen Yu didn’t hesitate. He ran directly to the distant Exchange Stone Pillar and exchanged for a Skill Forgetting Scroll.

Then, he immediately erased the Skyward ability.

Even a C-Class skill, especially a spatial Attribute skill, is too weak for me now... In fact, with my current strength, even dislimning is gradually becoming outdated—after all, Darkness can largely replace its function. Moreover, now that I have Soul Battlefield, my targets aren’t just SS-Class Light Attribute skills; I also need to find more Spirit-based abilities. My skill slots are clearly insufficient! It seems dislimning won’t be with me for much longer...

Thinking of this, Wen Yu couldn’t help but give a wry laugh.

In my past life, S-Class skills were god-tier, practically unreachable for me. But now, I’m already considering erasing a very practical S-Class ability... It must be said, life is always full of the unknown and surprises.

He placed the Skill Crystal directly into the little Soul Beast’s mouth, then sat down and carefully contemplated the events of this hunt.

A strange feeling welled up... There was no question about the Hunting Group’s strength—those two, the Giant Beast and Argus. If I weren’t a Soul Master, they would have had an extremely high chance of killing me. In fact, even as a Soul Master, if not for Marcus defecting at the critical moment, I would have been in grave danger. I just can’t figure out what that Ancient Demon spawn was thinking... It can’t be that it went out of its way to help me just because we had a brief encounter at the outpost treasure land, can it...?

After pondering for a long time without reaching any conclusion, once the little Soul Beast had fully absorbed the Skill Crystal, Wen Yu carefully reviewed the skill description for Soul Battlefield.

I have to admit, this ability will definitely become my greatest trump card!

In the distance, Cyclops had completely devoured the Giant Beast’s corpse!

Under the effect of Great Feast, Cyclops’s physical attributes had surged to 2,050 points, exceeding its limit by 50 points! Its bone density, muscle density, and the toughness of its claws and hide had all increased to varying degrees!

Apart from being a little taller, Wen Yu didn’t notice any other particularly strange changes in Cyclops.

Perhaps it still hasn’t eaten enough, Wen Yu thought.

Afterward, Wen Yu called Cyclops over. It promptly shifted back into its Mini Form and crawled into Wen Yu’s arms.

He looked at the Red Stone Grand Canyon and sighed lightly.

This operation by the Hunting Group didn’t feel like a hunt at all. Instead, the various oddities revealed made me feel like I’m trapped in a deep fog. It’s as if an invisible, enormous net is wrapping around me, layer by layer, and then... waiting for the moment it’s drawn tight, to plunge me into a situation of irretrievable doom!

He shook his head vigorously, clearing such thoughts from his mind, and directly connected with Victor in the 5th Soul Realm.

I wonder how things are in Las Vegas right now...

I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but this Spiritual Link with Victor seems to be taking an unusually long time... Wen Yu thought.

After what felt like an eternity, Victor finally responded to Wen Yu’s spiritual link.

The reply was very brief.

"Wen Yu, save us..."

Then, the spiritual link was abruptly severed!
