Chapter 277 Returning the Soul Fragments
Chapter 277 Returning the Soul Fragments
The ruins of the Lingxu Sect are still shrouded in smoke and the stench of blood lingers in the air.
Medical staff were busy treating the seriously injured Yu Huai, Jing Ming, and others. Ye Fan, Shen Jianxin, Wu Xusong, and Yao Guang stood aside, their expressions solemn, their gazes occasionally sweeping towards the distant horizon, wary of reinforcements from the hunters. Yao Guang had already made her appearance in the previous chapter, fighting alongside Shen Jianxin and Wu Xusong. Although she appeared somewhat exhausted, her body was still surrounded by a cold yet violent aura of demonic power.
Although the battle just now crushed the group of hunters, everyone knew that this was only the beginning.
The hunter leader has crushed the communication token. Before long, more and stronger hunters will arrive, and an even more brutal battle will be inevitable.
Looking at Yao Guang beside him, Ye Fan's pent-up worries exploded instantly.
She stepped forward and hugged Yaoguang tightly, her voice filled with barely concealed sobs and anger.
"Where have you been! Do you know how worried everyone was about you? Su Lan and Dai Dai were constantly worried about you. General Chen Mo died without ever seeing you again!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Fan raised his hand and gently punched Yao Guang, the force filled with concern rather than genuine anger. Yao Guang stiffened for a moment, then patted Ye Fan on the back with a wry smile, her tone full of guilt and bitterness.
"I was influenced by the power of the Demon of Anger and was drawn into the plane of evil gods, unable to control my own destiny. General Chen Mo... I was ultimately too late."
Ye Fan released Yao Guang, his eyes reddening, his tone gradually softening, filled with the relief of surviving a calamity.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Everyone thought you were kidnapped and killed. All these years, everyone has never forgotten you."
Just then, Shen Jianxin's gaze fell on Wei Yu, who was sitting on the ground holding Jingming, looking at them with a look full of emotion.
Shen Jianxin flashed to Wei Yu's side, looked at him with a relieved smile in his eyes, and said in a gentle tone: "Sentinel, you've been resurrected. That's great. You haven't let Nannan down after all."
Mentioning Nannan, Wei Yu's eyes softened instantly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. But that smile carried a hint of guilt and longing: "Yes, I've been resurrected."
"After Nannan teleported me away, what happened to her?"
Upon hearing Wei Yu's words, Shen Jianxin was overwhelmed by that heart-wrenching pain once again.
He turned his face away, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and after a long while, he slowly spoke, his tone full of reluctance.
"If Nannan knew you could be resurrected, if she knew you were alive and well, she would be so happy," Shen Jianxin said softly, her tone full of comfort. "Her greatest wish is for you to live a good life."
Wei Yu's smile froze instantly, his body trembled slightly, and his voice, hoarse and trembling with disbelief, asked, word by word, "Nannan... is dead?"
Shen Jianxin nodded slowly, his voice low and choked with emotion, and said, word by word, "Yes, Nannan was killed in the end."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand, gathered a wisp of spiritual energy, and gently touched Wei Yu's brow, slowly transmitting the last fragment of Nannan's memory to him.
As fragments of memory slowly seeped into his mind, Wei Yu's body trembled violently, his hands clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.
Bright red blood dripped from between his fingers, splashing onto the gravel on the ground, spreading out in crimson spots. His eyes were closed, his jaw clenched, and a heart-wrenching sob was suppressed in his throat, his aura becoming both violent and desolate.
Ye Fan, Yao Guang, and Wu Xusong also walked up to Wei Yu's side, and the four of them looked at each other.
Looking at the grief-stricken Wei Yu, Ye Fan spoke slowly and firmly, "Wei Yu, your soul fragments are with us. Now that you have been resurrected, they should be returned to you."
As soon as they finished speaking, Ye Fan, Shen Jianxin, Wu Xusong, and Yao Guang raised their hands at the same time. Their spiritual power surged, and four faint rays of light slowly rose from their hands. Within those rays of light were tiny fragments of the soul, which were none other than Wei Yu's soul fragments!
Four beams of light slowly drifted toward Wei Yu, landing on his brow and instantly merging into his body.
The moment the soul fragment merged into Wei Yu's body!
[Ding! Homecoming System activated!]
A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in Wei Yu's mind, and then a virtual panel appeared in front of him.
The panel clearly displays Wei Yu's soul recovery progress:
[Soul Recovery Progress: 40%]
[Sentinel Power Activated: 25%]
[Current Realm: Peak Within the Realm (About to Break Through)]
[Breakthrough Requirements: Soul recovery to 30% or higher (met), Sentinel Power activation to 20% or higher (met)]
As the panel appeared, a powerful force suddenly erupted from Wei Yu's body, and a rich spiritual energy slowly surged out from his body, sweeping across the entire ruins of the Lingxu Sect!
His body shimmered with light, and his aura was rapidly increasing. He was breaking through the peak of the realm little by little, steadily advancing towards a higher realm!
"This... he's about to break through?!" Wu Xusong's eyes revealed a hint of shock. "I didn't expect that after the soul fragments were returned, he would directly trigger the breakthrough conditions!"
Shen Jianxin nodded, a hint of relief in his eyes: "Wei Yu's talent was never weak, but it was suppressed because his soul was shattered before. Now that his soul has recovered, a breakthrough is inevitable."
Ye Fan looked at Wei Yu with a smile: "That's great! As long as Wei Yu breaks through to the Breakthrough Realm, our strength will increase significantly, and we'll have a much better chance of winning against the hunters' support!"
Yao Guang nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation, her tone cold yet firm: "The Sentinel's power is extremely strong. As long as he can fully activate it, he will be able to put up a fight even against a high-level Breakthrough Hunter!"
At this moment, Wei Yu closed his eyes, his body was filled with surging spiritual energy, and the light around him became more and more dazzling. His aura also became stronger and stronger. The meridians in his body were being washed by the rich spiritual energy, and the bottlenecks were being broken little by little!
"Boom—!"
A soft, loud bang came from Wei Yu's body, followed by an even more powerful aura that erupted from him, instantly engulfing the entire ruins of the Lingxu Sect!
The bottleneck of the industry's pinnacle has been completely broken!
Wei Yu has successfully broken through and reached the first level of the Breakthrough Realm!
He slowly opened his eyes, which shone with a dazzling light. The spiritual energy around him was still surging, and his aura was steady and powerful. He was no longer the Wei Yu whose soul was shattered and whose aura was weak!
