Chapter 1229 - Soul Gathering!
Chapter 1229: Soul Gathering!
The Outsiders were undoubtedly disgusting, but their battle will was undeniably resilient.
“Spirit Devourers, gather! I want an account of our numbers and status!” Feng Juanyun commanded, his face finally revealing a trace of exhaustion. The battle had finally ended, and his body was covered in blood from forcefully tanking blows from the enemy. Although they were all superficial wounds, the large amount of wounds were still shocking.
On the other side, Solitary Eagle also gave the same order at the same time.
The first thing that the both of them wanted to know was the condition of their brothers.
The result was—
Three dead in the Heaven Destroyer army, 79 heavily injured, and as for the rest, including Solitary Eagle, everyone’s body was covered with countless wounds!
The Spirit Devourer’s side also had three deaths, and one other person was hovering on the edge of death. There were 68 heavily injured, and the rest were also covered in wounds.
Their enemies numbered tens of thousands, over a hundred times more than them. But in the end, they only suffered seven casualties. Such a battle result could not be more amazing! However, Solitary Eagle and Feng Juanyun both felt endless pain and grief in their hearts!
So what if 50,000 strong enemy forces had been wiped out? So what, even if it was 100,000? The lives of those enemies were still not as valuable as a single one of their brothers! Even an exchange of 100,000 enemy lives for one of their brother’s lives was not worth it!
The formations that Jun Moxie had passed to them were something that was capable of allowing them to skip two realms to kill Saint Venerables! From this alone, one could see how terrifying the formations were!
The seven that had fallen were actually the same as if seven Saint Venerables had been taken out by the human sea tactic by the opponent! In such a chaotic battle, not only were there countless enemies around them, there were still their comrades as well. As such, they couldn’t use self detonation at all.
So, the bodies of these brothers were still completely intact.
They had all been snatched back by their buddies and closely guarded all the way until the battle ended.
On the other side, the Tiger King was also somewhat speechless.
After they finished counting their numbers, the Tiger Tribe had lost over a hundred warriors! Comparatively speaking, their casualty rate was only slightly higher than the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer army. However, their grief for the death of these brothers was still great.
“Everybody, gather and return!” Solitary Eagle waved his hands with a solemn expression. His eyes were somewhat red, but because his entire body was covered in blood, it was difficult to see.
Feng Juanyun held the dying soldier in his arms and continuously transmitted his Xuan Qi to him, maintaining the final wisp of life that still flickered as he ran madly. At this time, he’d already run for quite a distance.
Feng Juanyun was determined to save his brother…
This soldier was so weak that he didn’t even have the strength to say a single word. His eyes were completely listless. He’d already consumed the Heaven Reversal Pill a long time ago, but it didn’t have any effects! Right now, he was clearly already a lamp on its last drop of oil.
This soldier had suffered the fierce attacks of four Frenzy Blade Enduring Earths and had to endure the self detonation of two of them, resulting in heavy injuries. With these kinds of injuries, even the Heaven Reversal Pill was ineffective!
Feng Juanyun knew that such a state of injury that even the Heaven Reversal Pill was helpless about was pretty much a death sentence. At this time, if there was someone who might be able to do something, it would be Jun Moxie!
As Feng Juanyun sped along, he suddenly felt the soldier in his arms tremble, and a deathly aura emanated out. Feng Juanyun’s stout body shook, and he nearly knelt onto the ground. At this moment, all the energy in his body nearly left him.
Feng Juanyun could clearly feel that right now, his Xuan Qi was already unable to flow into the body in his arms…
At this moment, a white shadow flashed, and Jun Moxie flew over, appearing before him. “How is it?”
“There’s no saving…” Feng Juanyun slumped backwards as a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
The fierce battle had just passed, and Feng Juanyun was originally already exhausted to the extreme. Without any pause, he began to funnel the remaining bit of energy in his body into this dying soldier’s body. But seeing that the latter had still succumbed to his injuries in the end, he could not suppress his grief, and his internal injuries also surfaced at the same time, causing him to vomit blood.
“What happened? Did he consume the Heaven Reversal Pill? It didn’t work? Let me take a look!” Jun Moxie stretched out his hand and took the soldier from Feng Juanyun’s arms. But the moment he touched the body, he sighed.
Although the body was still warm, his internal five viscera and six bowels had practically been completely smashed into mush! Even the dantian was destroyed!
Such an injury was basically hopeless!
Although the Heaven Reversal Pill had miraculous effects capable of seizing heaven’s fortune, it was something that was only useful on living people. It was not a divine pill that could raise the dead!
Blood flowed continuously from the corners of Feng Juanyun’s mouth, and he gripped the hems of his shirt in a painful manner: “Song Yan, he… didn’t even manage to leave behind his last words. From the moment he was injured, he was trying to say something, but he wasn’t able to… Song Yan… Brother Song, still has regrets in his heart ah… He’d only just gotten married less than a year ago…”
Jun Moxie sucked in a deep breath, and his eyes blazed with anger. “How can a brother of ours be allowed to depart with regrets in his heart!” As he spoke, his face suddenly turned a pale golden color! It wasn’t just his face. His entire body was shining with a golden hue!
“Soul Gathering!” Jun Moxie spoke, and the golden light around him suddenly expanded, covering an area of three zhang!
Soul Gathering was a special ability that Xuan cultivators could use once they reached the Saint Monarch realm. A Saint Monarch could use this ability on a person who’d just died recently, and whose body was still warm, recalling the dispersed soul and returning it to the original body. It would create a temporary revival effect, allowing the person to leave behind a few last words. If the person’s luck was good, he could even form a Spirit Seed, retaining the memories of his life before seeking rebirth.
The only restriction was that this could only be used on people who’d recently died!
If the death time surpassed a few tens of breaths, it would be useless!
Furthermore, every time the technique was used, at least half of the Saint Monarch’s strength would be depleted, and it would not be possible to recover in the short term. So, unless it was someone close to them, or an enemy that one hated greatly, no one would be willing to use this sort of secret technique.
The price was too great!
However, Jun Moxie did not hesitate even a moment!
He couldn’t save the other brothers who’d died in time, but for this brother right in front of him, he would not allow him to simply die without even having the opportunity to leave his last words!
Feng Juanyun’s eyes widened, revealing a look of wild joy!
This brother who’d just died a moment ago, suddenly moved, and a bit of color appeared on his face!
This was the feeling of life!
Huge beads of sweat appeared on Jun Moxie’s forehead.
Undoubtedly, he’d already used all his strength!
The most wretched thing was that this Song Yuan’s dantian had already been completely destroyed! Even if he poured more energy in, this body was incapable of circulating it. Even though Jun Moxie wanted to use his Fourth level Saint Monarch’s strength to help him form a Spirit Seed, it was useless!
A stronger golden color flashed in his Jun Moxie’s eyes as he once again activated the strength of the Hongjun Pagoda!
A soft groan rang out, and Song Yuan finally opened his eyes again. Looking at Jun Moxie’s sweat covered face in front of him, heavy emotion passed in his eyes.
He seemed to understand that he didn’t have much time left, and he struggled with all his might to move his lips. “Third… Third Young Master… please… please tell my wife… that while she’s young… while she’s still young…”
Before he could complete his sentence, his head dropped, and he stopped breathing.
This time, he’d truly died for real!
Even though Jun Moxie had used all his power and tried his best, he only managed to give him the time to say those few words.
From the start to the end, he didn’t say a single word of thanks to Jun Moxie. Because between them, there was no need for words like that!
Although he hadn’t managed to finish speaking, the meaning he wanted to convey was very clear. Please tell my wife to remarry while she is still young…
No one would have thought that this man’s last wishes… would be this! To tell his wife to remarry!
Feng Juanyun’s originally overjoyed face sunk once again, and he sighed lightly, turning his eyes away.
Jun Moxie shook his head, and a pure white light suddenly shot out from his golden face.
As the white light flashed, a tiny figure floated out of Song Yuan’s forehead. This human figure was only about the size of a fist, and it had all four limbs and facial features. The only thing was that this little figure was formed completely from thick mist!
Fear could be seen on the little figure’s face as it began to slowly dissipate in the wind.
With a flip of his hand, a jade box appeared in Jun Moxie’s hand. Then, with a wave, the little figure was ushered into the jade box. With another flip of his hand, the box disappeared again.
This jade box was made entirely from natural Heaven Earth Spirit Vein, and it could ensure that this Spirit Seed would never dissipate! If Song Yuan knew how to make use of this environment, staying inside to cultivate his soul, his accomplishments in his next life would likely be inestimable!
Jun Moxie could be said to have given his utmost effort for his subordinate. In this world, it was likely that no one else could have done better than this!
“After this war, when everything has settled down, I will personally help you to find the best options for rebirth.” Jun Moxie muttered silently. “As for your wife and your family, us brothers will naturally take good care of them for you. You don’t have to worry about it. But if she truly has the intentions to remarry, we will naturally give her our blessings as well. Also, I guarantee that there will not be any malicious gossip about her…”
Feng Juanyun and the rest all stood up and saluted the dead soldier with solemn expressions. Even the heavily injured soldiers also crawled up with great difficulty to bid their brother their final farewell. Everyone’s eyes were filled with deep reluctance and loss.
Even if the Spirit Seed grew into adulthood 20 years later, he would no longer be called Song Yuan, and he would even moreso, not be a part of this Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer army…
