[Not Deductible]

[Status: Absorbing Moonlight…]

Originally, he had 218 points of Vitality, plus 108 points of Qi and Blood, but now only 25 points of Vitality remained. Calculating it, this battle had cost him a total of 247 points of Vitality.

The major consumption came from the Reversal Pill, a supernatural power that consumes Vitality to provide healing for the clan members.

Normally, it wouldn’t have consumed so much, but the clan’s warriors were not strong enough, forcing them to overexert themselves.

As a result, the Vitality consumed was significantly higher than usual.

Noah Ji calculated that healing the clan members’ injuries was more cost-effective compared to the One Leaf Hindrance supernatural power.

However, this didn’t mean One Leaf Hindrance was useless. On the contrary, it played a crucial role in their victory.

If he hadn’t used One Leaf Hindrance to elevate Oliver Chen’s strength to the Innate Realm, the clan might not have survived.

Apart from using the Reversal Pill, the most Vitality-consuming supernatural power was Armor Overlay.

Before the battle, Noah Ji had repeatedly pondered his supernatural powers and the clan’s strength, and he hadn’t forgotten about Armor Overlay.

However, he had placed it last.

He wasn’t sure how much strength these soul bodies could exert after being overlaid with armor, or if they could turn the tide for the clan.

If they couldn’t, he couldn’t afford to waste Vitality on it.

And reality proved Noah Ji right.

These soul bodies were not weak, but they consumed a lot of Vitality. The stronger the soul body, the more Vitality Armor Overlay required.

For instance, the highest realm soul body, Benjamin Chen, consumed five points of Vitality after being overlaid with armor.

The other twenty or so soul bodies consumed about 2 to 4 points of Vitality each.

After being overlaid with armor, Benjamin Chen’s strength was roughly at the late-stage Blood Condensation Realm.

But without a physical body, he couldn’t match a real warrior. If he faced a late-stage Blood Condensation Realm warrior in peak condition, Benjamin Chen would likely be at a disadvantage.

Qi and Yin Qi naturally counteract each other, and a warrior’s Qi and Blood can circulate endlessly with their techniques.

However, soul bodies like Benjamin Chen couldn’t absorb enough Yin Qi during battle.

Although they couldn’t match their peers, soul bodies had the advantage of not being limited by terrain and not fearing ordinary injuries.

Each had its pros and cons.

So, until the overall situation was settled, Noah Ji had them deal with the remaining Liu Family warriors.

These soul bodies had another benefit: they could continue to grow stronger, not limited by their current realm.

Although the Vitality consumed by Armor Overlay would certainly increase, the benefits would far outweigh the costs.

Under these two supernatural powers, the Vitality consumed by One Leaf Hindrance and Noah Ji’s strengthened roots wasn’t too much.

The massive loss of Vitality caused Noah Ji’s state to plummet.

Although there were no obvious changes in his roots and branches, Noah Ji’s consciousness was significantly reduced, and the Sophora leaves on the branches appeared lifeless.

It felt like his vision, originally perfect at 20/20, had suddenly gone blind the next day.

But overall, the outcome was good.

With the Liu Family gone, all the resources around Disordered Burial Mountain now belonged to the Chen Clan, with no one to contest them, including fertile fields capable of growing Blood Rice.

As the Sacred Tree of the Chen Clan, Noah Ji could finally enjoy some peaceful days.

At least he didn’t have to worry about the Chen Clan teetering on the brink of extinction.

Given enough time, he could recover the lost Vitality.

In this sense, the Vitality spent was well worth it.

Outside the Ancestral Hall, many clan members had already begun post-battle repairs and house maintenance.

The house servants, who had been hiding in safe places, were also busy, though the sight of the ground covered in corpses sent a chill through their hearts. Their faces, however, showed even more respect.

They knew very well what this night’s battle represented.

It meant that from now on, Disordered Burial Mountain belonged solely to the Chen Clan.

The Chen Clan’s word was now law in Disordered Burial Mountain.

As the clan’s influence expanded, these house servants would undoubtedly have better prospects!

Moreover, after such a battle, the clan would likely be short-handed, giving them a chance to be entrusted with important tasks and rise in status.

Many house servants understood this, so they worked even harder.

However, as they cleaned up the corpses, they were surprised to find that despite the fierce battle, there were very few Chen Clan corpses.

This surprised them, but also filled them with a sense of relief.

They were glad they had joined the Chen Clan and not the Liu Family.

By dawn, the Chen Clan had restored its usual cleanliness, though the air was still thick with the smell of blood.

Every surviving clan member had a dazed look, as if last night’s battle had been just a dream.

It wasn’t their fault; the battle had been too surreal.

Some clan members touched their hearts, feeling the steady beat, and finally relaxed.

It wasn’t an illusion.

But when they saw the many corpses being carried away, a hint of sadness appeared on their faces. Those were their fallen clan members, part of the family.

One clan member, visibly emotional, with reddening eyes, was about to express his pent-up feelings.

“Cousin, you’re mistaken. These corpses are Liu Family warriors.”

“The bodies of our clan members are over there!”

Another clan member quickly explained, causing the emotional one to awkwardly touch his nose and turn to look.

“Huh? Only this few?”

He quickly realized he had misspoken.

Indeed, there were only three bodies.

And he remembered that one of them had died from accidentally bursting his own heart in the excitement of the battle.

The other two had been hit in vital areas, otherwise, even those with crippled legs could have run a few steps under the green specks of light.

“Cousin, don’t be sad.”

“These clan members will visit us in our dreams in a few days!”

At these words, the previously sad clan members suddenly understood.

Yes, they were only dead, not truly gone.

The clan still had the Sacred Tree!

Realizing this, the clan members no longer felt sad but were happy to see their intact clan.

As for the three bodies on the ground, they decided to leave them there for now and see what the Clan Chief had to say.

Unfortunately, the three deceased clan members were only in the Body Tempering stage, so their bodies couldn’t be refined into clan guardians.

What a pity.

They silently vowed that before they died, they must reach the Blood Condensation Realm or higher.

Otherwise, how could they bring honor to their ancestors?

Many clan members thought this to themselves.
