Chapter 4531 At the time, countless heavily armed soldiers had surrounded the body in a battle-ready formation.
Most of them could see multiple scars and open wounds scattered all over the body of this unknown man.
It was quite a horrific sight as some of those wounds were huge and deep.
Just then, their saintess materialized before them.
"Greetings to the Saintess!"
All the men called out in unison.
The saintess gave a slight nod and made her way toward the seemingly dead man.
As she stopped before the body, one of the generals came up to her and got down on one knee.
He reported, "Your Holiness, this body had somehow drifted toward our universe just a while ago.
We examined the corpse, but we couldn't detect any signs of life from it.
We think that this man had probably died a long time ago and his body had drifted across the Endlos Void for quite some time."
The lady's gaze fell on the body.
A dark, mysterious light shone in her eyes the next instant.
Up close, one would be able to see numerous fine lines overlapping in her pupils.
In several seconds, the saintess managed to assess the condition of James’ body.
At first glance, there were no signs of life or a soul in James’ body.
In fact, the average cultivator would not realize how the man’s life force and soul had fused with his physical body.
"He’s not dead."
The saintess’ eyes had returned to normal.
"
His life force and soul fused into his body.
That’s why none of you were able to detect it.
Since his body is severely injured, it accentuates the impression that he’s dead."
"Your Holiness, can you tell what cultivation rank he is or how much power he has?"
Another general asked.
The saintess shook her head.
"I couldn't.
However, judging by the condition of his body, I think he’s probably reached the Caelum Acme Rank."
The men around her were shocked to hear her theory.
"We don’t know who he is or where this man is from.
Just to be safe, we should eliminate him on the spot."
One of the generals stepped out of the crowd and brought out a knife.
Then, he swiftly lifted his arm and took a swing at the body.
The saintess merely looked on wordlessly.
With a loud clang, the man managed to make a cut on James’ body.
However, the general fell backward and stumbled a little the very next moment.
"His body is so tough! He must be quite a skilled cultivator .."
The general gazed at James in awe.
"That's enough."
The saintess began, "His time is probably not up yet.
We'll bring him back with us."
"Your Holiness, we can’t! If this man is from the enemy's side, he may share and expose our whereabouts once he regains
consciousness."
The man in the white robe voiced his suspicion.
He followed the saintess for her protection.
The saintess replied, "Still, there’s no proof to suggest that this man is affiliated with the Aeternus."
Upon hearing her words, the men complied and carried out her instructions.
James was brought back to their universe shortly afterward.
Meanwhile, they had decided to remain in their current position within the Endlos Void.
Although Paths did not exist in the Endlos Void, the universe could still replenish its depleted force by absorbing the abundant
Endlos Power around it.
They estimated that it would take around three to five epochs for the universe to harness enough power again.
Soon, James was transferred to the spiritual mountain where the saintess resided.
After her condition had stabilized, the saintess headed to a guest room.
"Greetings, Your Holiness."
The guards greeted her respectfully.
"How is he?"
The saintess asked.
"The man hasn't regained consciousness.
However, we observed signs of regeneration in his body.
The wounds and injuries in his body have mostly healed by now.
He should be waking up soon,"
One of the guards explained.
