Chapter 246: Ch 246: Aura of Brilliance
A wave of invisible energy was released from Emrys’s body and rippled. This ripple spread in the air, and all the ships were scanned, immediately locating a spearhead placed on a half-meter-long stone pillar. This stone pillar was filled with all kinds of runes and Emrys could sense several powerful formations around filling the room as well.
It is very obvious that these formations are there to protect the spearhead, and this spearhead was not ordinary at all.
As the legacy inheritor of a powerful weapon craftsman of Chaos, Emrys was already well-versed in all kinds of weapons. The uniqueness of this spearhead was unable to escape his eyes.
"So, that’s how it is. These beasts are attracted by this spearhead!"
Emrys nodded silently. The spearhead seemed to be a broken part of a powerful spear that used to be at least an Empyrean Weapon before it was broken.
The spearhead itself is damaged, but its grade is still far above A-1 Tier Weapons. It is no wonder it was protected in such ways, surrounded by several powerful formations and runes.
Other than its grade, Emrys can also see that the materials used to create the spearhead were also very special. Just those materials alone gave the spear a sharpness that can pierce through even the hardest of the metals below Soulbound Grade quite easily.
Moreover, he can feel a strange wave of soul force from the spearhead as well. This soul force was being released by a special material and appeared to contain malicious energy powerful enough to corrode anyone’s soul force.
Emrys was confident in killing an Eternal Sky Soul Master just by using this spearhead, without needing to depend on his strength. Even a Mystical Mist Soul Master can kill an Eternal Sky Soul Master with the help of this spearhead if he or she can launch a sneak attack successfully.
Emrys easily saw through all the properties of the spearhead and suspected that the person behind the attack didn’t want anyone to obtain it. After all, this spearhead posed a significant threat, even to them. If Artifact Refiners were able to remold the spearhead and forge it into a complete spear once again, the power that weapon would hold would be even more terrifying. The people from Spirtarium who descended to this universe clearly didn’t want to see that happen, which is why they chose to launch the attack.
This was what Emrys suspected.
Then again, how did those people even come to know about the Soul Masters of Celestial Horizon obtaining this spearhead?
It seemed there were spies among the powerful individuals of this world. The waters of the Celestial Horizon ran deep as well.
However, this doesn’t concern Emrys. He was not here to fight for the Celestial Horizon or something, he was here to look for his parents and complete his mission.
While Emrys was standing still, a huge Soul Beast with dark scales flew towards him, aiming at his head with its sharp claws.
Emrys raised his eyes to look at the coming beast but didn’t move. He simply brought his hand forward and flicked his finger. Just like that, a wave of energy shot out and landed on the beast’s head, pushing the beast back into the sky. The force was so powerful that the beast was unable to control its body hit the barrier hard that was trying to repair itself, and then fell lifeless into the forest below.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned, but there was no time for them to be in shock.
As for the Soul Beasts, sensing Emrys was a threat, they paused for a moment before swarming at him.
Emrys continued to ignore them for as long as they didn’t come closer. When they got too close to him, he just waved his hand or flicked his fingers, sending them flying and killing them easily.
The fight between the fleet and the Soul Beasts went on for what felt like forever. The crew and warriors were fighting bravely but they were struggling against the constant attacks of Soul Beasts. The passengers were scared, clinging to each other and hoping the fighting would stop soon.
As for Emrys, with each kill, he was also plundering their souls and raising his cultivation. After plundering more than twenty Celestial Spirit Soul Beasts’ souls, his cultivation reached perfection and was not far away from breaking through to the realm of Eternal Sky Soul Master.
Several Soul Beasts were killed by the crew and many crew members also died in this battle. Seeing that the battle was dragging on for too long, Emrys frowned and decided to end this battle.
"Aura of Brilliance!"
A golden radiance burst forth from his body and spread all over the sky, covering an area of a hundred miles in radius.
A golden domain appeared that instantly suppressed both the Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.
Many of the crew members were utilizing their Aura of Brilliance to fight the battle, but the area their domain covered was only a few hundred meters. On the other hand, Emrys’s Aura of Brilliance was simply too huge.
"What is this?"
"What is going on?"
"This aura... It is the Aura of Brilliance!"
"Whose Aura of Brilliance is this terrifying?"
Crew members were shocked and started to look for the source of this Aura of Brilliance, however, they were unable to find the said person.
It is due to Emrys’s ability to manipulate light.
Emrys’s Aura of Brilliance gave him a total of six abilities. They are ⧼Healing Effect⧽, ⧼Attack Nullification⧽, ⧼Energy Drain⧽, ⧼Light Manipulation⧽, ⧼Death Impact⧽, and ⧼Soul Demon Seed⧽.
Among these abilities, the most terrifying were ⧼Light Manipulation⧽, ⧼Death Impact⧽, and ⧼Soul Demon Seed⧽.
And among these three abilities, ⧼Light Manipulation⧽ was the best ability since it can both attack and defend.
Fortunately, unlike the Qi Cultivation World, the Infinite Soul Star also had the technology, and science here is quite developed. Emrys also used to be a brilliant student. Thus, he knows how to use "light" to his advantage.
Thus, not to attract too much attention", or mainly to stay away from the eyes of people from Spiritarium, Emrys immediately started manipulating light the instant he activated the Aura of Brilliance. He refracted the light around him, becoming invisible to the eyes of others.
Due to the refraction of light, no one was able to see him. He was standing there, but the light around him made him invisible.
"Energy Drain!"
⧼Energy Drain⧽ is an ability that can drain the energy of enemies within Emrys’s Aura of Brilliance. A Soul Master’s energy is not their Soul Force but their stamina, and the same goes for the Soul Beasts.
Soul Force is not an energy because it is unique to souls and originates from souls. The stronger a person’s soul, the more powerful and refined their Soul Force will be. And Soul Force can truly be consumed and disappear for real.
As for energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. It never disappears and simply changes its forms of existence. It changes from one form of energy into another form of energy.
This is an iron law that can never be changed, and this law is also called the Law of Conservation of Energy.
On the other hand, stamina is a form of energy that allows a person to sustain physical or mental effort for long periods of time.
The instant Emrys activated the ⧼Energy Drain⧽ ability, Soul Beasts started to feel their stamina leaving their bodies. It was as if someone was sucking their stamina away.
Emrys had controlled this ability so not a single Soul Master felt this way.
Not surprisingly, Emrys’s own stamina started increasing while Soul Beasts’ stamina was decreasing.
Finally, when Emrys thought it was enough, he started manipulating light once again.
A golden light burst forth within the Aura of Brilliance and countless arrows materialized. These arrows were made of light and were giving off terrifying vibes.
"Go!"
Thousands of these arrows materialized in the air, and they were too powerful and terrifying. Emrys waved his hand and the arrows shot forward.
"Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!"
"Roar!"
"Screech!"
Soul Beasts’s painful cries filled the air as the arrows pierced into their bodies.
Unsurprisingly, these arrows only targeted their vital parts such as the eyes, head, and heart. One arrow was enough to kill a beast.
One after another, hundreds of beasts were killed, and their souls were plundered by Emrys before they could dissipate.
The air around Emrys started rising in temperature, however, no one could feel any difference due to the domain that Emrys had created.
A Soul Master’s aura of brilliance is also their domain, and everything within the domain is under that soul master’s absolute control.
Emrys knew he was going to break through and become an Eternal Sky Soul Master, so he had already controlled the Aura of Brilliance to the extreme, not letting anyone feel any change in the surroundings.
While the air around Emrys was boiling, his Soul River was not that different. It was as if a tsunami had arrived, his Soul River was in chaos.
It was not just his Soul River, even the Dark River parallel to the Soul River was the same.
