Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he saw the stub of that missing arm.

The stub that was left was also covered in a black energy that seemed to damage the flesh that was left. It was as if it was slowly festering the rest of the flesh and would make it rot if left unchecked.

The person that was missing an arm was naturally Lin Ao, his father.

Beside him was Yue Qingrou who looked very roughed up, but she didn't have any serious injuries.

When the two of them saw Lin Fan, they couldn't help being shocked.

Lin Ao tried to get up, but Lin Fan quickly came forward to stop him. He pressed Lin Ao down and then started looking more closely at the stub.

Yue Qingrou was about to say something, but seeing the look on Lin Fan's face, she stopped herself. She could tell that he was focusing on the stub, as if he had noticed something.

Angela came forward and took hold of Yue Qingrou, moving her away.

She didn't know what Lin Fan was about to do, but she knew that he needed to focus and he couldn't be distracted by her.

She also had a worried look as she looked at Lin Ao on the ground.

As for the rest of the third army remnants, they were moved back by Yuki and Momonga.

They were about to argue at first, but Lin Fan just threw his token on the ground without even looking at them. The moment that they saw this token, they immediately closed their mouths and followed his directions.

After all, they recognized that this token was from the Lin Astral Family.

After a long period of silence, Lin Fan suddenly raised his hand towards Lin Ao's arm stub and said, "Do you trust me?"

Lin Ao nodded without any hesitation when he heard this. He closed his eyes and just let Lin Fan do what he wanted.

Lin Fan brought his hand forward, but when he came close, he couldn't help knitting his brows even more.

As his hand came closer, there seemed to be something that came from Lin Ao's arm stub. This was a kind of dark energy that wanted to bite at Lin Fan's hand that was coming closer.

But this was an energy that Lin Fan had never felt before.

It did remind him of one thing though…

It was very much like the strange energy that he had obtained from the Outer God fragment.

Could it be that this was another type of energy from the Outer?

But if it was, then what was it doing with the Beast Race?

There were many thoughts that ran through Lin Fan's mind when he saw this reaction from the energy surrounding the stub, but he forced those thoughts down. He summoned his life energy and gathered his void laws in his hand.

When the strange energy tried to bite him, all they found were the void laws that had appeared in his hand.

The strange energy wasn't able to resist at all as the void laws sucked them in and absorbed them.

If it was before, he might have had problems with this strange energy. But the situation had changed after he had encountered the strange energy from the Outer God fragment.

Absorbing that energy had fundamentally changed his void laws.

His void laws had adapted to the strange energy of the Outer and was now able to absorb those strange energies even though they didn't exist in this world.

But of course, there was a limit to how much he could absorb and what kind of energy he could absorb even if his void laws had become stronger.

He would only be able to absorb energy that was weaker than his own energy without problems, or he would have to forcefully subdue it with his will. 

He also couldn't absorb too much of it since absorbing this strange energy didn't restore his life energy like other energy would. It would drain his life energy to subdue this strange energy, so he would slowly be drained of his life energy trying to absorb it.

Once he was out, he wouldn't be able to use his void laws anymore.

But it wasn't a problem to absorb the black energy that clung to the stub of Lin Ao's arm.

Once it was gone, the flesh underneath was revealed.

It clearly looked infected and was close to rotting, but it started looking better once the black energy was removed.

Lin Fan also noticed this and he started using his life energy to help Lin Ao recover.

It didn't take long before the wounds on Lin Ao's arm stub closed and his condition stabilized.

When the people around saw this, they all let out a sigh of relief.

The reason they had been worried about Lin Ao in the first place was that the wound on his arm stub wasn't closing. If this black energy kept draining more and more out of him, it wouldn't be long before he died.

Even if he had become a powerful World Realm Expert now, there was only a limit to how much his body's self healing could heal him. They had even seen that this black energy had clung to his soul, decaying it.

So even if his body was destroyed, he wouldn't have been able to regenerate himself with his soul.

But now that the black energy was gone, it didn't take much for Lin Ao's body to recover itself.

Even the wounds other than the ones on his arm stub started recovering.

Those wounds hadn't recovered before this because all of his life energy had gone to staving off the black energy on the arm stub. He had to use his life energy to fight back this black energy from decaying his arm.

Now that he was free of the influence of that black energy, he easily restored himself with his life energy.

However, there was still the fact that his arm was missing.

He wasn't able to recover it since it had been damaged on the soul level. Even if he was able to regenerate now that he had reached the World Realm, it was impossible to regenerate if his soul was harmed.

Lin Fan looked at the stub and said, "We'll have to wait to go back to heal that arm."

Lin Ao nodded in response to this since he knew what Lin Fan meant.

The only thing that could restore his arm now was life laws. Life laws was a special power that barely anyone had, but it would allow for the recovery of the soul when they were used.

With the resources of the Lin Astral Empire though, they were able to train some experts with life laws.

The eighth army as rescue specialists naturally had life law experts.

So as long as they went back to where the eighth army was, they would be able to have the life law expert restore the arm.

But the key thing was getting off this planet and to where the eighth army was camped.

This planet was deep into the battlefield and if it wasn't for the system guiding them, they most likely wouldn't have been able to reach this place.

However, Lin Fan hadn't come without a plan.

Halfway to the location of this planet, he had activated the tracker that he had been given just in case anything happened. So right now, they knew exactly where he was and the cavalry should be on their way.

If they waited for long enough, rescue should come for them.

But Lin Fan also knew that it wasn't a good idea to stay here for too long.

He could see that there were quite a few people here who were seriously injured. If they waited for too long, it was clear that they wouldn't be able to make it even if Lin Fan did some first aid for them.

So if they left this planet and headed towards the eighth army's camp, they would reduce the distance to their reinforcements and get medical attention to these people sooner. The sooner that they received medical attention, the more people that would survive.

The problem was that they didn't know how many of the Beast Race were around this planet or on this planet. If they had to fight their way through, there was no doubt that more people would be injured.

So it was all about risk and reward.

There were pros and cons to both options, so it was up to Lin Fan to decide.

Or at least it would have been if Lin Ao hadn't suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Bring them away. Try to save as many as you can."

Lin Fan gave a sigh when he heard this, but he still nodded in agreement to this.

It was risky, but it was still worth a try since they had his ship.

His ship was the top of the line ship and it was big enough to fit all the survivors here, so he would be able to bring them away with it.

Not to mention, there were all those weapons that had been installed in the ship, so it wasn't as if they couldn't fight off the Beast Race that came for them.

The soldiers of the third army could tell that the conversation between these two was related to them, so they chose a representative to say, "We leave our lives in your hands."

Lin Fan once again gave a sigh before saying, "Pack everything up. We'll evacuate with my ship."
