Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Something Went Wrong, the Soul is About to Collapse
Inside the cave, Skye, Seth, Sean, and others were on guard at the entrance. They kept glancing back toward the deep part of the cave.

Everyone knew the situation in the ancient battlefield ruins.

Human geniuses were completely at a disadvantage. Even Sunny, the strongest young talent of the Celestial Clan, wasn’t doing anything.

Other human geniuses had no chance against the royal-born Star Raiders.

Only Johnnie was still fighting.

Skye looked down at his thin, weak wrists and sighed in frustration. He had lost all his strength and was almost like a useless person now.

Seth wasn’t doing much better. His life force had drained away, and he looked extremely old and tired.

Thinking about this, Skye turned to look at Sean. The Celestial Clan’s genius was no longer the same as before. His wounds were still serious.

As for the others, they were all young people from the guardian village. Their strength was only at the Half-God or Lesser God level.

In short, this group was old, weak, and young.

If anything dangerous happened, they would still need Johnnie to step in.

“Ah, I’m completely useless.” Skye sighed.

Just as he was about to say more, Johnnie, who was deep inside the cave, suddenly let out a low grunt.

The group instinctively turned around. They saw Johnnie’s face had turned pale, and a thin line of golden blood was coming from his mouth.

Right now, Johnnie’s soul was floating above his body, connected by a red thread linking his soul to his heart.

According to the Nine Nether Soul-Forging Art of Lethal Will, without a physical body to buffer it, killing intent could directly harm the soul.

Just a moment ago, Johnnie was slowly pulling the killing intent from his heart into his soul.

But he hadn’t expected that as soon as his soul touched the killing intent, it got hurt. And the killing intent in his heart became even more unstable, causing damage to his physical body as well.

“Damn it, this is even more dangerous than I thought!”

But there was no other way now. If he didn’t use this method to break through to Stage 11 and boost his power, the only other choice was to open the Heavenly Tribulation for becoming a god.

But opening the Heavenly Tribulation at Stage 10 would mean giving up his future potential.

Johnnie’s soul floated in the cave. He looked at the worried and anxious faces of the others around him and continued to absorb the killing intent from his heart.

After rebirth, he had gone from an ordinary person to where he was now. He had faced so many dangers, and many times, he had almost died.

If someone asked him if he regretted it, his answer would definitely be no.

Now, there was a rare chance with the Star Raiders fighting among themselves. If he missed it, he would truly regret it.

“I’m afraid that after I die, my family and friends will be tortured by those cruel Star Raiders.”

“I’m afraid that all my effort will still not change the fate of destruction.”

“As for death? It won’t scare me at all.”

The faint red killing intent rushed from his heart into his soul, like tiny, sharp knives moving around inside his spirit.

In just a blink of an eye, Johnnie’s soul turned slightly red.

In the cave, Sean, Skye, and Seth suddenly realized they could see Johnnie’s soul.

The strong killing intent gave his soul a visible form.

Everyone noticed that Johnnie’s soul was shaking continuously, and waves of killing intent kept flowing into it one after another.

At that moment, Johnnie’s soul suddenly shook violently.

A small thread of faint red killing intent broke free from the red line and shot toward one of the young people from the guardian village.

Seth’s eyes widened in shock. He tried to stop it, but the killing intent was moving too fast. In the blink of an eye, it entered the young man’s body.

The young man opened his mouth wide, his muscles twitched, and he tried to scream—but he fainted immediately.

The other young people rushed over to help, but as soon as they touched the unconscious boy, they experienced the same thing.

Seth accidentally touched him too, and suddenly felt an unbearable pain, as if hundreds of rusty, dull knives were cutting into his soul.

The pain was so intense he nearly fainted.

Skye quickly checked the boy and said in a low voice.”It’s not too bad. The killing intent inside him isn’t much—just his soul was hurt. He should be fine after resting.”

Seth nodded. He looked toward the deep part of the cave where Johnnie was.

Just one small bit of killing intent had knocked out several young villagers. And the pain it caused was unbearable.

But Johnnie’s soul kept absorbing the killing intent without stopping.

Seth took a deep breath, and a look of guilt flashed in his eyes. Right now, he could only watch and do nothing.

The group fell silent again, watching Johnnie in the cave.

After a while, Johnnie’s soul stopped shaking. The killing intent inside it became calm.

Skye and the others relaxed a little and looked at each other.

But just then, Johnnie’s soul suddenly opened its eyes. His red eyes looked like sharp weapons that had killed many people. The sight made them all feel a chill.

“Oh no, something’s wrong!” Skye immediately clenched his fists, his face full of worry and urgency he had never shown before.

“What should we do? Maybe we should just stop Johnnie right now?” Seth instinctively tried to move closer to Johnnie.

Skye quickly stopped him. He said that interrupting Johnnie right now might make the killing intent go completely out of control, and could cause his soul to break apart.

“If that happens, Johnnie’s soul would be completely destroyed. Not even a resurrection item would work!” Skye said quickly.

Among all of them, Skye was the oldest, but even he had no idea what to do now.

“Do we really have to just watch and do nothing?” Seth wasn’t willing to accept it.

Then he suddenly had an idea and asked quickly.”Someone just absorbed some killing intent. Can we go near Johnnie’s soul and take some of the killing intent off him?”

Skye’s eyes lit up for a moment, but then they dimmed again. He said.”It’s hard. That piece of killing intent you just touched was leaking out when Johnnie’s soul was stable.”

“Now, if you go near it on purpose, the unstable killing intent will speed up the collapse of his soul!”

Seth shouted in panic.”Then what should we do!”

Skye clenched his fists and hit the cave wall hard. Blood immediately came out from his fists.

He gritted his teeth and said.”I… I don’t know!”

As Johnnie’s soul became more and more unstable and seemed to be about to break down, none of them had any idea what to do.

A huge feeling of helplessness made them almost lose their breath.

At that moment, a flash of light suddenly came from Johnnie’s soul. The holy item, the Soul-Nurturing Banner, appeared.

The soul of the Red-Haired Ghost King Pax came out from inside the banner, looking serious.

Skye’s eyes lit up again. The Soul-Nurturing Banner was Johnnie’s holy item, and it had already been fused with his soul. It could take some of the killing intent from his soul without making it even worse!

Before Skye could even speak, the Red-Haired Ghost King Pax nodded at him and quickly said.

“I know what to do. But on my own, I might not be able to keep Master’s soul stable.”

“Everyone, Master can’t be hurt.”

Seth immediately asked.”What should we do?”

Pax took a deep breath and looked at Sean, then said quickly.”After I die, if Master’s soul is still breaking down, someone has to give up their body and let their soul enter the Soul-Nurturing Banner. Then…”

Before Pax could finish his sentence, Sean, who was injured, walked over and said.”I understand.”

Seth suddenly realized something. He heard the word “after I die.”

Seth took a deep breath and stepped forward, saying quickly.”I can do it.”

Pax shook his head.”Your Soul Intensity isn’t strong enough. At least a Highgod-level soul is needed to take on enough killing intent, so no more people have to die.”

Among the group, Skye had lost his strength. Seth was only at the Core God level. And the other young villagers from the guardian village were even weaker.

Sean slowly lifted his head and looked at Johnnie. His eyes became stronger.

Henry and Lynn were his closest friends, but they had been brutally killed in front of him. If it weren’t for Johnnie, he would have died too.

“You’re right.” he said seriously.”More Star Raiders will come. Someone has to stop them. And that person has to be you, Johnnie.”

He nodded at Pax, showing he was ready.

To die and help his friends, he was already satisfied.

Pax didn’t hesitate at all. He controlled the Soul-Nurturing Banner and gave it to Sean. Then he flew quickly toward Johnnie’s soul.

Around Johnnie’s soul, there were already many faint red threads of killing intent. When Pax touched them, his face twisted in pain.

He bit his teeth and slowly moved closer to Johnnie’s soul.

Just as Pax was about to touch it, Johnnie’s red eyes suddenly blinked. They stared at him, full of cold and power.
