Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts-Chapter 657 - 41: Definition of Props (A bonus for QQ reading book friends) _1

The strength of a Breakthrough Achiever absolutely couldn't be measured by their level. Moreover, considering the superlative overall strength of the former Universe of Immortals and Heroes, Wen Yu wouldn't be surprised by any kinds of monsters that might appear here. However, Wen Yu himself was also a life form on par with monsters—to put it arrogantly, would Wen Yu fear a Level 4 creature?

So Wen Yu's answer was straightforward.

"Is there any advantage in them?"

"The benefits aren't significant. At most, the Origin Energy from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes contained within them is relatively more abundant."

"Hmm."

Wen Yu pondered for a moment, then decisively said, "Then let's leave it to fate. If we encounter them, we can spar for a couple of rounds. It seems like a good idea to witness the prowess of a top-ranked individual from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes during their Level 4 era."

"Sounds good, let's go."

The Almighty Demon Vine didn't bring up the topic anymore and immediately pointed out the direction to the medicinal herbs garden for Wen Yu.

Meanwhile, on the First Layer of Tiangong, Ye Nan, Akad, and Zhang Shaojie were meticulously inspecting Wanping's broken corpse as they ate.

Ye Nan didn't know the exact operational mechanism of the Three Souls Undead ability. To eliminate the hidden danger Wanping posed and to escape the risky situation of sharing a location with Kasu as soon as possible, Ye Nan began his horrific torture of his enemy.

Even after Wen Yu had severed his head, Wanping could not escape the tragic fate of dismemberment. At this moment, Wanping had been chopped into neat pieces of flesh, placed not far from the trio.

"This time, this guy shouldn't be able to live, right?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Upon hearing Zhang Shaojie's words, Ye Nan noncommittally shrugged.

"Who knows? By the way, how long has it been now?"

"Let me check."

Akad glanced at his wristwatch and promptly stated a number.

"It's been only four hours since Wanping died."

"Then let's continue waiting!"

Ye Nan's command was unusually firm. Seeing the chance for revenge so close, waiting was all he would consider.

Almost at the same time the trio was conversing, within Wanping's pile of crushed remains, the shredded, ghost-like face that belonged to Lin Li gradually faded, as if slowly wiped clean by an invisible eraser.

The Three Souls Undead had quietly kicked into gear.

"We're here."

The Almighty Demon Vine gently pointed towards the building ahead that resembled a classic Suzhou-style garden, sending a Spiritual Fluctuation to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu, standing before the gates of the "medicinal herbs garden," beheld the majestic building ahead of him. He sighed at the grandeur of the former Universe of Immortals and Heroes and slowly closed his eyes, sniffing the aroma in the air.

As soon as Wen Yu drew near, he noticed something off about the air. It lacked the rotting smell of Demonic Qi, replaced instead by the faint fragrance of herbs and plants.

This implied—Spiritual Medicine and Immortal Herbs still exist here!

For Wen Yu, this was the best news possible!

Remembering his earlier guess, Wen Yu casually asked the Almighty Demon Vine beside him, "Something doesn't seem right. It's been so long; how can things like Spiritual Medicine and Immortal Herbs still exist?"

"There's nothing to doubt!"

The Almighty Demon Vine crawled out from Wen Yu's arm, moving towards the entrance of the medicinal herbs garden, as it explained to Wen Yu, "The lifespans of life forms vary. Under normal circumstances, they all have limits, but it's different for items."

"At the beginning of the apocalypse, the appearance of the Exchange Stone Pillar not only changed the existing power and Technological System of the planet but also altered many other things."

"Take items, for example. When the Dominator designates something as an item, it immediately loses certain features of a life form, such as the potential for continuous growth. However, it also gains other characteristics, like an expiry date—that's what you humans call it, right?"

Wen Yu nodded.

Meanwhile, the Almighty Demon Vine had reached the entrance of the medicinal herbs garden, and the tip of it began to glow faintly.

It was breaking the restrictions on the entrance of the medicinal herbs garden!

"All the Spiritual Medicines within the medicinal herbs garden were converted into items by the Dominator, following negotiations with the Almighty Immortal Emperor. Just like me, with special preservation measures, they can endure eternally!"

"Negotiation?"

Wen Yu carefully mulled over the word.

"Yes, negotiation."

"This involves the nature of a Level 11 powerful expert. It won't hurt to tell you a bit more now. The number of Level 11 transcendent powerful experts a world can produce is limited! For instance, the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, including the Almighty Immortal Emperor, only had three other Level 11 transcendent powerful experts—and their strength wasn't great! According to my estimations, Earth can, at most, simultaneously support the emergence of only one Level 11 transcendent powerful expert. This number itself speaks volumes about the importance of Level 11 powerful experts!"

"And a Level 11 powerful expert can indeed communicate with the Dominator or make some not overly presumptuous requests to the Dominator!"

Level 11...

Based on what the Almighty Demon Vine was saying, it could be considered an absolute ruler of a world!

"What measures must one take to reach Level 11?"

Earth may only have one Level 11 transcendent powerful expert, a position Wen Yu will surely strive for!

"The specific means will become clear to you once you advance further."

The Almighty Demon Vine didn't wish to elaborate on how to attain Level 11, and Wen Yu didn't press further.

Because at that moment, Wen Yu was contemplating a question that had just occurred to him.

Watching the Almighty Demon Vine busily working at the entrance of the medicinal herbs garden, Wen Yu asked in a calm tone, "Actually, I still don't quite understand. You see, the mutant vines I encountered a while ago are a type of mutant creature. Your current state is very similar to them, yet you're an item. What's the difference between you two?"

"Spiritu...ality!"

The word "spirituality" was spoken very slowly by the Almighty Demon Vine, with an emphasized pause in between.

"You mean Soul?"

"No, spirituality!"

This time, the Almighty Demon Vine stated the word "spirituality" decisively.

"Spirituality, as I define it, should be a quality that enables Evolution. My state is essentially fixed, so I am an item. However, that vine can continuously advance in level, making it a life form. According to my understanding, this should be the fundamental difference between an item and a life form!"

"I don't know any more than that."

The Almighty Demon Vine probably realized Wen Yu had tricked it into saying too much. After a brief explanation, it promptly fell silent.

What a load of bullshit! Wen Yu decisively rejected the Almighty Demon Vine's explanation in his heart.
