A Will Eternal – Chapter 470

Chapter 470: Who said I was afraid?

Even when Li Hongming explained about the soul cultivator and necromancer, the gray-robed man on the black warhorse extended his right hand and pointed to the Great Wall. In response, more than ten gigantic soul emperors roared and began to attack on the battlefield, followed by many battle beasts in the area.

Of course, not all vengeful souls on the battlefield had been used to make soul emperors, so there were many ordinary vengeful souls accompanying them in their duties.

There were also pitch-black souls in the air, surrounded by black lightning, and souls with special magical weapons. The moment the attack began, a great roar echoed that was enough to drop the mountain and dry up the sea.

The savages also howled as they began to run towards the Great Wall, with only the gray-robed man and seven or eight soul cultivators remaining motionless as they watched the scene play out.

The battle escalated, and a deafening rumbling sound already filled the air. As for Zhao Tianjiao, he stood staring at the battle, listening closely to Li Hongming's explanation. Although Zhao Tianjiao knew a little about the Wildlands, Li Hongming had personally been here fighting for many years, so clearly, his understanding was much deeper and clearer.

Bai Xiaochun stood there licking his lips as he looked at the soul cultivator and the gray-robed man. He had a slightly different perspective from Zhao Tianjiao; he had been dealing with the Wildlands for a long time now, and was very happy to get this additional information from Li Hongming.

"Both vengeful souls and savages are the true masters of the Wildlands" he thought. "The real ones responsible are the so-called rebels who have been forced to live there!

“At first, maybe not many of them, but after many years have passed, they have doubled and become many. Given how barren the place was, they had no choice but to use soul vitality to practice cultivation. And that is why they are called soul builders.

"The necromancers should only be extraordinary figures among soul cultivators. He said they are adept at manipulating souls, so I wonder if the process is similar to how medicinal herbs are made or magic objects are forged? ” Even when Bai Xiaochun was wrapped up in this thought, Chen Yueshan frowned. [1]

“Even if soul builders are strong, and necromancers are rare, what are they doing here? What gave them the courage to take the entire Great Wall with just that small group? Aren't they worried that we'll storm and kill them ?! ”

Chen Yueshan wasn't the only one who thought about the question. Zhao Tianjiao had thought about it as well. Even Bai Xiaochun looked at Li Hongming expectantly.

Li Hongming did not respond. Instead, he stretched out his right hand, within it appeared a jade slip that seemed to be used to transmit some orders. Furthermore, ten huge magic cannons suddenly started to light up on the Great Wall, sending powerful fluctuations in all directions. Moments later, a rumbling sound was heard as a ray of bright light was shot from the cannon into the battlefield.

The air distorted around the rays of light as they shot towards the soul emperor, some of whom let out miserable screams as they were crushed. The ray of light cut them like a hot knife through butter, and then proceeded to destroy more savage people and souls behind them. In an instant, the light approached the necromancer.

The ten rays of light were powerful enough to destroy Nascent Soul cultivators, yet when they crashed into necromancers and soul cultivators, their bodies simply disappeared.

Clearly, they had not been killed, but, had visited the battlefield through projections, and not by their original form!

Chen Yueshan's jaw dropped, and Zhao Tianjiao's disciples shriveled. Even Bai Xiaochun was completely shocked.

Apparently, Li Hongming was not at all surprised by Chen Yueshan's question, and even expected it. "First when I first arrived at the Great Wall, I had a similar question. Unfortunately, no one gave me an answer, and I only learned the truth after seeing things with my own eyes. ” Turning to face him, he said, “I guess you don't know as much about Wildlands as you think.

“The wild nature is huge, much bigger than the Heavenspan River where we came from. Vindictive souls exist so much that they are without end. For tens to tens of thousands of years, the savages there were born with the power of a god flowing in their veins. Once they matured, some of them became giants that were thousands of meters tall!

“There are also countless ferocious beasts in the Wildlands, the kind that will surprise you to hear them described. Remember, it was not only the Starry Sky Polarity Sect that rejected the Wildlands, it was all sects in the Heavenspan River valley!

“After all, we are not the only ones who have gods! We are also not the only ones with gods! "

As Li Hongming continued with his explanation, Bai Xiaochun looked to the place where the necromancer and soul builder had stood, as well as the terrible battle that was going on.

Even when he sighed and cursed about ending up in a place like this, Zhao Tianjiao threw his head back and laughed out loud.

“If the Wildlands are filled with the weak, then what's the point of going there for training? The land out there is filled with cowering tigers and hidden dragons, which makes them the perfect place for me! Moreover, the Wildlands may be powerful, even with the gods and gods, but we have the Celestials!

“With the Celestials on our side, the Wildlands will be the Wildlands for good. They will always be trapped outside the Great Wall, and will never pollute our Heavenspan Sea! ” Zhao Tianjiao looked extremely majestic as she stood there and said such words, so much so that Li Hongming also laughed along.

"Rubber. We have the Celestials, so the Wildlands will always be stuck outside. That's what always happens! ” A powerful ray of approval could be seen in Li Hongming's eyes as he looked at Zhao Tianjiao.

As the two of them laughed together, Zhao Tianjiao looked at Bai Xiaochun, and could see that he was nervous.

"Xiaochun, does it scare you to look at all those souls and hear about how powerful the Wildlands are? Cultivation is basically a defiance of heaven, so we cultivators obviously have to dominate the battlefield to carve our own great Dao! ”

When faced with the heroic-looking Zhao Tianjiao and Li Hongming, Bai Xiaochun knew that he could not allow himself to look frightened. Glaring at them, he slapped his chest hard and loudly declared, “Fear? Who said I was scared? I can destroy that little soul as easily as flipping my hand! ”

Seeing the soul waves and soul emperors, Bai Xiaochun decided to make his words more persuasive, and to really convince them that he was not afraid. Therefore, he must take action. Slapping his bag of holding, he produced the Convergence Soul Pill …

"Take this!"

As the medicinal pill flew through the air, he made a spell move and then waved his finger at it.

When he did, the pill landed in the middle of the sea of souls, and then exploded!

Instantly, a terrifying gravitational force erupted, becoming a 300-meter-wide black hole.

All the souls in the area were in the middle of howling and charging towards the Great Wall. However, in the blink of an eye, their howls were cut short. Meanwhile, a wide-eyed look of astonishment suddenly appeared on the faces of the Leather Flayers on the walls.

Inside that 300-meter area, all of the vengeful souls were suddenly sucked out of their control towards the exploding pill, and in the blink of an eye, the entire area was empty!

From a distance, there was now a huge hole, 300 meters in the middle of the soul wave, something truly interesting that everyone saw.

To everyone's surprise, after the souls were sucked together, they became a head-sized soul ball that fell to the ground. From that look, there were over 10,000 vengeful souls within, all screaming and struggling fruitlessly to break free.

Not only were the cultivators on the Great Wall shocked, the savages on the battlefield were completely shocked. There were also many vindictive souls nearby who instinctively stopped in place and turned their heads.

Even some soul emperors looked surprised.

"This ... this …." Li Hongming said, his mind spinning. Previously, he had assumed that Bai Xiaochun took out a medicinal pill just to get some face, but what was actually produced made him completely shocked.

Zhao Tianjiao's eyes widened as he looked at the newly emptied 300-meter circle in the middle of the battlefield, and over 10,000 vengeful souls were fighting in the soul field. Gasping for breath, he turned to look at Bai Xiaochun, his expression somewhat confused.

Chen Yueshan, as well as the others in their group, stood there with pounding hearts as they suddenly recalled Bai Xiaochun's actions in the cyan trial with fire in the sect.

After a moment of silence, the Skin Flayers on the wall erupted into chaos, their eyes shining in disbelief and shock as they looked towards Bai Xiaochun.

"Paradise! What just happened!?"

"What ....what magical thing did he throw away just now!?!?"

“This is unheard of! I don't believe this! I don't think I've seen anything that works so well against vengeful souls !! ”

"Who's that guy!?!?"

Seeing that his pills had not only worked quite well, but he had also attracted quite a bit of attention, Bai Xiaochun immediately enlivened. Therefore, he took out a stack of Soul Convergence Pills and, with a strong shout, threw them against the wall, and then began to make incantation moves.

Booms began to ring on the battlefield, and before long, a large number of vengeful souls cried out in grief. Even one of the soul emperors was caught, and ended up being dragged into the scope of the soul ….

The crowd of cultivators on top of the wall stood there in stunned silence.

Bai Xiaochun was more excited than ever with this development. Clearing his throat, he happily lifted his chin and waved his sleeve.

“Who said I was scared? With a flick of a finger, I, Bai Xiaochun made all those souls to ashes! You think I'm afraid of them? ”

Footnote: A quick note that the "nujum expert" has Chinese characters in it that are relatively common in AWE and in xianxia stories in general, and that is. You will often see this character translated as "fix" because it is the most common dictionary definition for the character itself. However, when combined with other words, the "flute" character does not necessarily mean flute. For example, literally literally means “refining pil” but is a real-world Daoist term meaning making or making immortality pills. That's why I translate ⁇ as a pill potion. In AWE, the terminology (in Chinese) is slightly different, so we have a medicinal herb instead of a herb, with the same verb, but the noun part changes from the character "pills" to the character "the drug". Anyway, I digress.

If you remember far back in chapter 4 of AWE, there is a line that speaks of the main skills relevant to perennial cultivation, namely concocting medicines, forging equipment, and raising spirits. All of these terms use the character ⁇ as a verb. I chose early on not to try all the matching verbs, as the previous two are relics of the ISSTH, and obviously should not use the definition of "perfect". Furthermore, I feel that the spirit of "improvement" is a more accurate description of that skill. In the case of necromancers, we found that the same Chinese characters were used again. As for what it actually means (fixing /creating /forging /using /manipulating the soul), you can't say from the context. After all, they practiced some sort of technique/skill/magic that had something to do with the soul.
