Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 207: Ch 207: Trials

Just as Emrys appeared, he heard a voice that sounded divine to listen to.

╠ Emrys Frazier, a human from the Infinite Soul Star favored by "###" has come here to accept trials. There will be three trials. Only once you pass all of the trials can you see the true face of the Eternal Paradise and obtain the qualification to enter. If you fail, your memory of this place will be removed, and you will be sent back to your world. At the same time, you’ll lose your qualification to ever enter the Eternal Paradise. ╣

╠ Please note that death during trial is not real death. ╣

╠ The first trial will begin in another 30 seconds! ╣

Are there trials?

To whom does this voice belong?

And... How come they even know the world I’m from?

Moreover, why does he need to participate in trials? He didn’t come here out of his own volition. He was invited by others here!

The corner of Emrys’s lips twitched as a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

Emrys waited for the trial to start, but nothing happened for a long time.

Time flitted by, and a figure appeared about 1,000 meters away from him. It was a young man wearing a white robe. His long hair was neatly tied behind his head, his eyes were sharp, and he had a sharply chiseled face.

"He seemed to have the same appearance as those people from the Qi Cultivation World," Emrys muttered in a low voice.

As for that young man, when he looked around he soon discovered Emrys. He then walked to Emrys and said, "My name is Yu Hong. In order to pass the first trial, you’ll have to defeat me.

As soon as he had finished speaking, he threw an attack at Emrys directly.

Emrys hurriedly dodged and noticed that this person’s strength didn’t seem to be stronger than him. Although this person had not been cultivated in the Cosmic Cultivation System, he seemed to be as strong as an Advanced Ordinary Cosmic Apprentice.

While Emrys was thinking about how he should deal with the young man, the young man had engulfed him in a torrent of elemental forces, trying his very best effort to destroy him.

"His abilities are not bad. He has a good set of skills as well."

While dodging, Emrys paid attention to Yu Hong’s attacks and noticed several details. At the same time, he was looking for an opportunity to attack. The opportunity soon arrived. Emrys then prepared to retaliate.

Cosmic Energy surged through his veins as he gathered all his strength in his fist. Then he delivered another punch at the young man, sending him flying.

The young man was caught off guard and couldn’t dodge in time. Seeing that Emrys had only been dodging, he assumed Emrys wasn’t much of a threat and let his guard down which became an error on his part that led to his defeat.

Emrys seized this opportunity without hesitation. He teleported and appeared above the young man. Dark mist surged out of his body and condensed in his hand to form a blade.

Shua~

With a swift slash, Emrys cut the young man’s neck. The young man fell and died. Actually, he didn’t die in the usual sense; instead, his body shattered into fragments of light before vanishing.

The voice had already said that death during the trial doesn’t result in real death. That is why he carelessly cut off Yu Hong’s neck.

╠ Congratulations to Emrys Frazier for passing the first trial. ╣

The voice rang out again and his surroundings shattered like a mirror. Light began flashing around him and he soon found that he was standing at one end of a huge staircase that seemed to have gone to a height of at least a hundred meters.

The top looked very small, but not small enough where he couldn’t see anything.

He lifted his head and looked up. The stairs were made of shimmering green jade and extended high into mid-air, with a total of 200 huge steps. Each step was about half a meter big.

╠ Emrys Frazier, this is your second trial. You will need to climb the Sky Ladder. Reaching the top means you’ve passed the trial, and falling means you’ve failed! ╣

The divine voice rang inside his mind once again, causing Emrys’s pupils to constrict.

’So, this staircase is called the Sky Ladder, huh!’

Emrys muttered silently and observed the Sky Ladder. Since this was a trial, it is an obvious fact that there will be some difficulties. This Sky Ladder doesn’t seem ordinary at first glance, who knows what kind of difficulties he may encounter?

After thinking for a short minute, he stepped onto the first step.

As soon as he stepped on the first step, he suddenly felt a heavy weight falling on his shoulders, suppressing him greatly.

As expected, the Sky Ladder was indeed not ordinary.

"Is this trial going to test my willpower?" Emrys speculated. He could feel the weight not only suppressing him physically but also trying to affect his willpower, as if some mysterious force trying to make him give up.

The weight was indeed enough to suppress him physically, but not enough to stop him from moving completely. The most this weight can do is slow him down.

Realizing what was happening, Emrys moved to the second step then the third, and so on. As he moved forward one step after another, the weight on his body became stronger and stronger. Emrys can feel his entire body becoming heavier.

However, he had strong willpower, so it did not affect him much.

When he was still in the Infinite Soul Star, he was already strong-willed. After going through many dangerous situations in the shattered piece of Cosmic Cultivation World, he became strong both in body and mind. His will has long since become stronger and firmer. It can be said that Elysia’s way of training resulted in refining and strengthening his willpower to a great state.

He continued to climb the staircase. Very soon, he climbed to the 100th step.

The instant he reached this step, the pressure on his body doubled once again, becoming more like a mountain. Till now, Emrys was withstanding this pressure by relying solely on his physical strength. After breaking through several times in succession in the Cosmic Cultivation System, his body has long since become monstrously strong.

However, he has no choice but to circulate his Cosmic Energy to withstand this pressure.

Once again, he continued to climb. It took him more than five hours to reach the 189th step.

As his feet landed on the step, something rang through his heart. It felt as if the ordinary mountain on his body had transformed into a divine mountain and exerted strong pressure on him, trying its best to crush his willpower.

When he reached the 190th step, the invincible pressure transformed into sharp arcs of light. They flew across the sky and aimed straight at his Sea of Consciousness, shaking his Soul River greatly.

"How terrifying!" Emrys couldn’t help but exclaim in shock. The attack from the sharp arcs of light that affected his Sea of Consciousness was truly terrifying. Had his Soul Cultivation not improved greatly in the past year, his Soul River might have become chaotic or shattered right here.

Emrys withstood the attack from arcs of light and continued to climb the stairs.

From the 191st step onward, the arcs of light started splitting, doubling in number. Each time he stepped forward, the number of arcs of light would increase. Fortunately, he was able to withstand all the attacks.

Just like that, by the time he reached the 198th step. By now, the number of arcs of light could already be counted in thousands. It was too terrifying. The mountainous pressure was already enough to crush anyone, the pressure from the sharp arcs of light that could attack a person’s Sea of Consciousness was not low at all.

This time, when Emrys was attacked by the arcs of light, he was stunned for more than a minute. Only after a whole minute did he regain his composure and heaved a sigh of relief. He had a feeling that if the attack was slightly stronger, he would have definitely been heavily injured. His Sea of Consciousness might have broken, causing him to fall into a coma-like state.

"I have to think of a way to save myself. Dealing with the danger on 199th Step will definitely not be simple."

Emrys breathed deeply and tried to think of a way to solve the upcoming danger. In the end, he had an idea. He just doesn’t know whether this idea can block the attacks that could affect a person’s Sea of Consciousness instead of his body.

Just like that, he continued to climb the stairs and stepped onto the 199th Step.

Bam!

The arcs of light divided again and became even stronger and many times more terrifying. Moreover, Emrys could see an extra layer of red-colored destructive energy at the edge of these arcs.

It was something Emrys had never seen before. He could tell that his Sea of Consciousness and Soul River would definitely be destroyed if this attack landed.

This attack wasn’t just two times stronger, it was at least five times more destructive.
