Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Duan Gujin felt his Divine Soul gradually being restored, yet, he hadn't anticipated that a formidable force would invade his Divine Soul once again, causing it significant damage.

This time, it felt as though his bones were breaking apart, his flesh as if drained of its essence.

Experiencing this unbearable pain once more, Duan Gujin suddenly feared his soul would scatter.

However, just when he thought he was on the brink of death, a warm energy suddenly enveloped him, restoring his badly injured Divine Soul at an inconceivable rate.

"Puh!"

This time, Duan Gujin nearly spat out blood in frustration.

"This feeling is truly unbearable!"

He had originally thought that enduring the same ordeal would grant him the giant crocodile's immense fortune.

However, what he hadn't anticipated happened subsequently; only after enduring the trial nine times did the giant crocodile inform him that he was now qualified to receive the tribe's immense fortune.

"You really are a masochist!"

Duan Gujin immediately concluded.

But at this point, he had no other choice.

In the next moment, Duan Gujin realized his Divine Soul had returned to his Body.

Upon examining his Body and Divine Soul, he discovered an incredible improval; both his Body and Divine Soul had truly been astonishingly enhanced.

Initially, the giant crocodile had tempered both his Body and Divine Soul simultaneously, undergoing nine different refinements, and now he had been completely transformed.

"It feels so good!"

Letting out a deep breath, Duan Gujin noticed a significant increase in strength, even showing signs of a breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Fourth Realm.

With excitement written all over his face, he knew that the immense fortune the giant crocodile had bestowed upon him was no ordinary gift— it had elevated the grade of both his Body and Divine Soul.

After a moment, his vision cleared and he could see the scene in front of him.

Presently, the skeletal remains of the crocodile appeared before his eyes.

"Thank you, senior, for your immense fortune!"

He sent a Divine Thought towards the giant crocodile's skeleton, but after waiting for a while, he received no response.

He speculated that the skeleton of the giant crocodile might have already fallen asleep. Bowing deeply to it, he then swam upward.

Shortly afterward, he surfaced.

Looking around, he noticed the Residual Soul waiting for him on the shore, and he quickly swam to land.

"Heartless Demon Saint, are you okay?"

Duan Gujin asked urgently after getting ashore.

"All is well with me! What about you, it seems like you have received an immense fortune?"

The Residual Soul asked.

"Yes, I've received a great blessing from your ancestors!"

Duan Gujin knew that the immense fortune he had obtained meant undergoing nine refinements, strengthening both his Body and Divine Soul.

"That's good!"

The Residual Soul spoke indifferently.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, feeling in his heart that after receiving such a gift from the giant crocodile's lineage, he wouldn't feel right without offering some help to the Heartless Demon Saint.

"Heartless Demon Saint, what do you wish for?"

Duan Gujin inquired of the Residual Soul.

"I only wish for revenge!" said the Residual Soul.

Duan Gujin sighed, his gaze flickering before he spoke, "Let me examine your body!"

"Okay!"

The Residual Soul did not refuse and allowed Duan Gujin to check its body unabashedly.

As Duan Gujin's Divine Sense went into the Heartless Demon Saint's body, it didn't take long for him to confirm that the Heartless Demon Saint's physical form was beyond repair.

However, he discovered that the soul of the Heartless Demon Saint was intact and not lacking any parts.

Generally speaking, as long as a Martial Saint Realm master's Divine Soul remained, there was a chance for the Martial Artist to be resurrected, and the Heartless Demon Saint's soul met this condition.

"I previously thought its soul was incomplete, but now I realize that it really can be resurrected!"

Duan Gujin's eyes shimmered as he thought for a moment, then gently shook his head.

"To resurrect a Demon Saint, I would need many Spiritual Medicines from the Divine World! At the very least, there shouldn't be any Spiritual Medicine capable of regenerating a dead body available in the Jiuzhou Continent. To resurrect the Heartless Demon Saint, I'd have to wait until I ascend to the Divine World, and even then, it would be a matter for after at least a hundred years!"

"Can I still be saved?"

asked the Heartless Demon Saint.

"Yes, it's just that with my current abilities, I cannot assist you! As long as you maintain your soul and prevent it from perishing, there's a possibility for you to restore your Body in the future!"

Duan Gujin said.

"How many years must I wait?"

Heartless Demon Saint asked.

"I'm not entirely certain about that. I suppose, given your current condition, waiting for two hundred years wouldn't be an issue for you! Don't be too anxious!"

Duan Gujin spoke soothingly; he himself didn't know how to comfort the Heartless Demon Saint.

"No worries, I am willing to wait for two hundred years!"

The Residual Soul said.

Duan Gujin let out a sigh of relief, thinking that the Residual Soul's current confusion must be related to most of its soul being sealed inside the skull of its Body by the Suspended Holy Mother.

"Poor Heartless Demon Saint! Maybe I should find a way to help him!"

After pondering for a while, he sighed. He knew his current power was too weak to confront the Heartless Demon Saint.

Suddenly, the Residual Soul said to Duan Gujin, "Not good, I've received an attack order, there are enemies infiltrating here!"

"Enemies? Can you tell who the enemy is?"

Duan Gujin immediately asked, not wanting the intruder to be Zhan Luan.

"It's an old woman! I recognize that old woman; she's visited me here before!"

The Residual Soul said.

"Do you know if her intentions toward you are good or bad?"

Duan Gujin quickly asked.

"I remember now, the old woman was ordered by the Suspended Holy Mother, to come here and check on the condition of my Body periodically! She is one of Suspended Holy Mother's subordinates."

The Residual Soul said after a moment of silence.

"Could it be that she sensed something wrong with your Body and came to check it out?"

Duan Gujin's brows furrowed slightly, not willing to let the Residual Soul confront the old woman it mentioned.

But if the old woman realized there was indeed a problem with the Residual Soul, she might report the situation here to the Suspended Holy Mother.

Then, it was highly likely that the Suspended Holy Mother herself would make an appearance.

Duan Gujin was clear in his mind that neither he nor the Residual Soul, if they teamed up, would be a match for the Suspended Holy Mother.

He figured that the Suspended Holy Mother was at least two Great Realms above them, and she could easily squash both of them like an elephant trampling ants.

Yet, if he didn't let the Residual Soul go out to meet the old woman, it was very likely that the Suspended Holy Mother would soon learn of this matter.

Duan Gujin's mind raced, and after some thought, he felt he should try to buy as much time as possible for himself and the Residual Soul.

"If I let you handle that old woman, how sure are you of success?"

Duan Gujin asked tentatively.

"I am completely confident! I've fought with that old woman before, and I know roughly how strong she is. She is only responsible for checking on my Body!"

The Residual Soul said.

"And what is her level of Cultivation?"

Duan Gujin asked with sudden interest.

"Eighth Level of Martial Emperor!"

The Residual Soul said.

"Then let's go together! I don't want any accidents!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath and immediately took out a giant Golden Eagle mask and coat from his storage ring.

After putting on the mask and the coat, he followed the Residual Soul.

Led by the Residual Soul, he quickly saw the old woman mentioned by the Residual Soul.

It turned out to be a middle-aged woman with delicate features, but she was twisting her body in unnatural ways, which made Duan Gujin feel that her actions were very affected.

After a while, Duan Gujin suddenly understood.

"I get it, that old woman is a Snake Demon!"

"You, come here, let me examine your Body!"

The old woman said.

"Alright!"

The Residual Soul walked forward to let her inspect.

Meanwhile, Duan Gujin hid behind, preparing to launch a stealth attack on the old woman.

The old woman checked the Residual Soul's Body and immediately noticed an extra Sealing mark on its heart.

"What is this?"

The old woman's brows furrowed slightly and then she went forward to inspect the Sealing mark on the Residual Soul's heart.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, his Body flashed, and he transformed into a streak of light, rapidly rushing forward.

He didn't want any accidents; he only wanted to capture the old woman together with the Residual Soul and at least, not let the old woman escape.
