Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 226: Ch 226: The Famous Emrys Frazier

People were being killed one after another.

Not long after Isolde’s death, Massio was swallowed alive and Cassio was torn apart into pieces. Very soon, everyone in the Star Soul Mansion fell to Emrys’s fury.

Yes, there may be innocents who did nothing wrong in their lives, but Emrys did not care about them. Since he was determined to destroy the Star Soul Mansion, it was necessary for him to clean the tree from its roots. There is no need to leave anyone behind even if they are innocent and did nothing.

Most importantly, he doesn’t know who did right in their lives and who is innocent. He just killed everyone.

Terrifying!

Everything was too terrifying.

On this day, a massacre happened that resulted in a complete wipeout of a mid-sized force called the Star Soul Mansion. Not a single person was left alive.

When the battle ended, all the abyssals transformed into a mist of abyss and returned to Emrys. Their souls were sent back to the abyss.

Not long after that, a powerful aura erupted from Emrys’s body, swirling around him like a storm of dark energy. His eyes glowed with an eerie light as the overwhelming cosmic energy surged through his veins, crackling with raw power. The ground beneath his feet trembled, and the air around him thickened with the weight of his cultivation breakthrough.

As the Mist of Abyss coiled around him, it seeped into his skin, merging with his essence. Emrys’s body pulsed with an overwhelming force and the air around him increased in intensity.

Although it was abyssals who devoured Cosmic Warriors while killing them, they still returned to Emrys in the end. The essence of power they devoured ended up entering and merging with his body. Just like that, his cultivation had taken another monumental step forward. He broke past the stage of an Enlightened Cosmic Apprentice and became a beginner Exalted Cosmic Apprentice.

"Shit, I lose out,"

Emrys suddenly realized something and muttered in regret. He shouldn’t have let the wandering souls go back to the abyss, he should have devoured them using the Soul Devour ability. This way, he could have broken through in both the cultivation path he was following.

Well, it doesn’t matter. He can do that when he uses the Abyss Flow ability again.

Unfortunately, this ability directly makes him link with the abyss, filling him with the aura of the abyss and making him no less than an abyssal. If a powerful warrior were to see him in that state, they’d think either he is abyssal or he has betrayed humanity by taking abyssal’s side.

Thus, he can’t use this ability whenever he wants.

The sky darkened, and a blood-red moon cast an ominous glow over the Star Soul Mansion’s ruins. Emrys stood at the center of it all, breathing heavily as dark mist continued to swirl within him.

His aura expanded, engulfing the surroundings with an aura of death and destruction. Emrys clenched his fists, feeling the immense power coursing through him.

Emrys released his perception and started to look for the Star Soul Mirror that he found in the depths of the destroyed mansion. He didn’t leave immediately after taking away the Star Soul Mirror, instead, he first cleaned up the entire place and wiped out any sign of abyssal aura.

After all, a terrifying battle occurred here that destroyed the Star Soul Mansion. It is obvious countless people will be coming to investigate the situation here very soon. Since he had already announced his name before destroying the Star Soul Mansion, it is better to not get caught and suspected to have something to do with Abyss.

Of course, before leaving, he also looted all the treasures he could from the Star Soul Mansion, including the three treasures that Isolde was giving him a few hours ago but he refused.

As Emrys had guessed, not long after he left, powerful auras appeared in the sky above the ruin of Star Soul Mansion. All these people came to investigate the situation, only to be shocked to discover that the Star Soul Mansion had truly been destroyed.

Just in a few days, this rumor of this incident along with the name "Emrys Frazier" spread everywhere like a forest catching fire. Now, most people already knew about Emrys’s name and his doings.

As for Emrys himself, he was killing beasts and raising his own strength. Although this was a virtual world, his strength was increasing for real. As for the reason, Emrys can attribute these mystical things to Sage and Ling Xiaolong.

In the next nine months, Emrys raised his strength to advanced Exalted Cosmic Apprentice, and in the meantime, he also made several low and mid-leveled forces submit to him. Now, all he needed was to aim to suppress those top forces, but they had Supreme Cosmic Apprentices watching over them. It is not so simple to deal with Supreme Cosmic Apprentices. These individuals stood at the pinnacle of their cultivation stage, their strength far surpassing that of all the Cosmic Cultivators of the world.

Emrys knew that to confront them directly would be unwise, especially with his current level of power. Though he had grown exponentially, taking on someone of that caliber required not only strength but careful planning.

He paused in a secluded mountain range. The air here was thick with energy as he finished slaying another fierce beast. The blood of the creature soaked into the ground, its life force weaning away. Very soon, this creature added another layer of power to Emrys’s ever-growing strength.

His eyes glinted with light as he gazed out over the horizon. When he thought about it, he could feel the subtle shift in the atmosphere of this world. His doings over the course of years are not hidden. He can tell that the top forces of this world have already started to get wary of him.

"They won’t sit idly by," Emrys muttered to himself, wiping the blood from his blade. "The Supreme Cosmic Apprentices are bound to make their move soon. They’ll want to finish me off before I can get strong enough to threaten them."

He knew that the top forces had already begun taking notice of him. The name "Emrys Frazier" had become synonymous with destruction and rising power. Small and mid-tier factions had fallen under his influence, but the top forces were an entirely different challenge. They were not just stronger, they were entrenched in the world’s political and power structures, with alliances that spanned in hundreds.

For now, though, Emrys would continue his steady rise. The virtual world was strange, but it was his proving ground. The real strength he gained here would carry over when he returned to reality.

As he climbed a steep rocky path toward a hidden cultivation cave, Emrys reflected on his next moves. He had several powers to rely on. He also has several trump cards that could turn the tide of battle in his favor. However, revealing too much at once would draw even more unwanted attention. He needed to tread carefully.

In the months that followed, Emrys continued honing his skills and consolidating his power. He engaged in skirmishes with smaller factions while suppressing and controlling them. Each battle he went through made him stronger every time. His legend also grew in this virtual world, and so did the fear that followed his name.

Top forces had already started to get wary of him months ago. They gathered together to stop this rising star whose aims were very obvious in their eyes.

After all, the factions and forces that Emrys was forced to submit under him were not all independent. Many of them were affiliated with top forces.

Although they submitted to him out of fear of getting destroyed like the Star Soul Mansion and a few other forces, it is obvious they held grudges against him deep within their hearts as well. If given the opportunity, they won’t hesitate to strike him down from behind.

They secretly left to please the top forces of the world to do something about him.

As for Emrys, he didn’t stop there at all. He continued his assault against the major forces of the world. He had already built up a powerful force that won’t hesitate to follow him. He also made a group of trusted friends who were determined to throw back the old ruling power of the world.

Just like that, two more years passed.

On this day, Emrys broke through to the advanced Supreme Cosmic Apprentice Stage. It was now time to go against the top forces. Once he successfully suppresses them, he can become one absolute ruler of this virtual world, thus completing the mission and obtaining Sage’s inheritance.

Just as he walked out of the door, he was greeted by the sight of an anxious group of people who reported to him that the top forces of the world had sent an army of powerful Enlightened, and Exalted Cosmic Apprentice to destroy them.

Emrys immediately ordered them to prepare for the battle.

Once the order was given, the group of people left immediately to ready their own army.

It was now the time for the final and decisive battle. This battle will define whether Emrys will become the ruler of this virtual world or not.
