Chapter 990 - Soul Space
'Huh?'
As for Ajax, after hearing Nameless cultivator's request, he raised his brows before asking, "Aren't they already dead?"
Ajax raised his eyebrows not because he didn't want to help them; instead, he was surprised at Nameless cultivator's request.
"No, young monster. They are just like me who got affected by the Cursed Energy."
Nameless cultivator lost all his hope when he saw the frowned look on Ajax's face.
However, when he heard Ajax's question, he felt the lost hope had come back again.
"Really?"
Ajax was shocked by Nameless cultivator's words as he slowly walked towards the corroded beings.
'System, can I turn them back to normal humans?'
Ajax silently asked the system regarding the corroded beings in front of him.
The reason why Ajax asked the system about it was that the corroded beings in front of him were looking lifeless, unlike Nameless cultivator who was still able to maintain his consciousness even after turning into a half-corroded being.
Moreover, the system didn't even say anything about absorbing the Cursed Energy from their body. So, Ajax felt not so confident in turning them back to humans.
'Ding,
Please come into contact with each one of them for the system to analyze more about it.
'Sure'
Nodding his head, Ajax chose the nearest corroded being that was a human who had half-torn robes of the Fire sword sect.
Soon, he lightly tapped all the corroded beings. So that the system could complete its analysis.
'Ding,
The system detected that their souls were completely corroded. Absorbing the Cursed Energy from their bodies might kill them. The system is sure about 90 percent of its analysis.
'What? Souls are also corroded?'
Ajax finally understood something from the latest system notification.
Nameless cultivator was only half-corroded because he was able to stop the Cursed Energy from corroding his soul; however, these corroded beings were unable to control it and completely turned into fully corroded beings.
'System, are there no other ways I can help them?'
Ajax frowned as he asked the system about other ways.
'If there are no other ways, then I will just go with my usual method.'
Living as a corroded being hell for anyone. Even though the fully corroded beings can't think much, deep down they wanted to die; however, because of the corroded energy, no matter what they do, they can't be killed unless the Cursed Energy seeping into their souls was cleansed.
'Ding,
The host can use his new profession 'Sacred Astral Healer' to heal the soul while absorbing the Cursed Energy; however, it will be quite taxing for the host's soul.
'Excellent.'
However, Ajax was excited because he could finally use his new profession and silently thought in his head, 'Finally, I can see how powerful and useful it will be.'
As for the system's warning of being quite taxing on his soul, Ajax took it lightly.
'Who should I choose first?'
After coming to the conclusion of testing his new profession, Ajax started thinking about whom he should choose.
'I will try with this Cursed Ape.'
Ajax didn't want to experiment on the two humans directly because if he failed, it might cause death for them.
For Ajax, killing spirit beasts was not a new thing; however, he never killed any human who had done nothing to him.
After choosing his target, Ajax walked towards the huge ape-like spirit beast.
'System, what should I do now?'
Ajax asked the system after he reached the huge ape-like spirit beast.
'Ding,
The host just has to place his hand on the spirit beast and think of looking into the spirit beast's soul.
'Ding,
Once the host can successfully look into the spirit beast's soul, the system will slowly absorb the Cursed Energy while the host has to use Sacred Astral Energy to heal the marks left by the Cursed Energy.
In two system notifications, the system explained everything that Ajax had to do.
"Endure the pain."
Once he got to know what he had to do, Ajax replied to the huge ape-like before following the process.
Even though Ajax said that the corroded ape didn't say anything. Its lifeless eyes were looking into the distance which made Ajax shake his head with a bitter smile on his face.
Ajax nodded his head and took a deep breath before placing his hand on the spirit beast before thinking of looking into the spirit beast's soul.
'Swoosh'
All of a sudden, Ajax appeared in an endless space.
'Th...this is...'
Ajax looked at his surroundings as his eyes fell on a small transparent silhouette in the distance.
'Ding,
This is the soul space of the spirit beast that the host touched earlier.
'Soul space? Isn't it only opened by King realm cultivators or beings? How can peak rank 6 spirit beast have it?'
Ajax was shocked by the system notification as he asked the system.
According to what he learned from Elder Boron and in his cultivation journey, only King realm beings would have it because only then their cultivator's law would be turned into a soul and the soul space would be unlocked.
So, of course, he was shocked when a peak rank 6 spirit beast opened a soul space.
'Ding,
The host is wrong about it. Every creature in this world or even in the smaller world will have a soul space; however, to get access to it, they have to create another soul from their cultivator's law.
'Ding,
Once the cultivator's soul enters into the soul space, it will be merged with the soul which is called the main soul and that has already existed in the Soul Space from the birth of the being.
'What? So, everyone has a soul space from the time they are born.'
Ajax was shocked for a moment before becoming excited and asked, 'So, I can enter others' soul space without any problem?'
