Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 248: Ch 248: It’s Them

After the battle was over, the crew took about two hours to calm everyone and settle all the passengers’ hearts. Then they reorganized everything before setting off once again.

The next day, Emrys could finally see the blurry projection of a giant mountain a few hundred miles away. This massive mountain was the black mountain, and the fleet was on its way to the Black Mountain City that was situated halfway up to this mountain.

About an hour later, everyone could finally see a clear image of the Black Mountain City.

This city was simply too big, with an almost identical structure to the Star Lake City.

The fleet landed not long after, and everyone left the ship.

Emrys didn’t bother to stay in the Black Mountain City to look around. Instead, he directly teleported away, going in the direction of the Ice Lord Valley.

While Emrys was teleporting one after another, in the Ice Lord Valley, three people could be seen running for their lives. They were covered in sweat and blood. The wounds on their bodies were terrifyingly deep, but the three of them didn’t seem to care.

Among these three people, two were men and the last one was a beautiful woman, and all three of them were holding a giant blue fruit in their hands while running for their lives.

A huge dark creatures were chasing after them. This creature had a strange appearance, and it was clearly not a Soul Beast. From time to time, this creature would transform into shadow before disappearing and appearing at distance again.

"Roar!"

It let out a crazy roar at the three thieves that had stolen its treasures and chased after them with all its might.

"Andrea, you truly are crazy. Why did you choose to steal this fruit?"

The girl shouted at one of the men running beside her. Due to all that run, she was already heavy on breath and dead tired. However, the situation at the moment was such that she had no choice but to keep running.

Stopping now would result in her death after all.

"What are you even asking, Laura?" Andrea shook his head and said while gasping, "These are Heavenly Soul Fruits. They can directly enhance a Soul Master’s cultivation by two entire realms. Think about it, how long does it take to cultivate in a single realm to perfection?"

"The stronger we get, the longer the time it takes for us to advance by even a minor stage. For Soul Masters like us, cultivating a single realm to perfection may take us dozens of years and more. But these fruits can save those times, and elevate our cultivation by two major realms. How could I have not risked taking them away when they were right in front of my eyes?"

"But..." Laura was speechless, not knowing what to say.

On the other hand, the third person who was already a step ahead of the two of them, turned his head while running and shouted at them, "You two idiots. We don’t have time to bicker. Run quickly if you want to live. That thing is still chasing after us!"

This person was Caruso.

The three of them kept running but the distance between them and the dark monster was decreasing bit by bit every second. If they don’t do anything or think of a solution, it won’t be long before the monster will catch up to them. At that time, their fate can only be death.

"Roar!"

The black monster chasing them suddenly stopped and looked in the direction from where it had come, and then roared in fury. A dark energy wave exploded from its body that shattered dozens of meters of surroundings instantly. At the same time, a ferocious dark pressure descended, carrying a powerful killing intent that seemed to have originated right from the heart of a devil.

It was terrifying!

Even the three running people, Andrea, Laura, and Caruso, froze and could no longer move. They tried so hard to move their muscles and run for their lives, but their body remained frozen. It was as if they had lost all control of their bodies to some unknown entity.

"What is happening?"

"This... What should we do now? If this continues, we’ll die!"

While the three of them were shocked and frightened, a terrifying pressure descended on their bodies, forcefully tucking them down on their knees. But that was not enough. The pressure was so great that they had to use both of their hands to support, otherwise, they would have already been lying flat on the ground.

As for the Heavenly Soul Fruits, three shining blue fruits had already rolled to distance after falling from their hands.

Not only this, the three of them were no longer able to utter even a single word.

The sudden turn of the situation was unexplainable, and everything can only be attributed to the black monster’s instant pause, its roar, and the eruption of its dark power.

As for why this happened, the three people kneeling were unable to guess at all!

.....

"So this is the Ice Lord Valley?"

Emrys glanced at his surroundings that was covered in snow. As far as his eyes could see, it was only white. Only the sky was of different color, otherwise, the entire world would have been full of white.

Be it small and giant trees, mountains, or even a long frozen river that could be seen from where he was standing, everything was covered in snow, wafting cold and icy air.

This was the first time Emrys had come to the Ice Lord Valley, but he has to admit the uniqueness of this place that differed from all he had seen in his entire life.

"Where do I start?"

Now that Emrys had come to the Ice Lord Valley, the first thing he needed to do was look for his parents. However, he didn’t know where to start or what direction to go.

In the end, he counted one to hundred while pointing in three different direction. As for west, since he came from there, there was no need for him to take west direction into account.

The hundredth number was called out and he was pointing in the north direction.

Without hesitation, Emrys flew into the sky and shot forward in that direction. In just slightly over ten minutes, he had already traveled more than a hundred miles, but even so, no life or sign that could symbolize the presence of a living being appeared in his sight.

Emrys didn’t stop, he continued to fly, and suddenly, he heard a loud roar.

Emrys paused in the air and looked ahead, only to see dark energy rising in the air at the distance.

"That energy?"

Emrys was surprised to find this energy familiar. It was the Abyssal Energy.

According to everything Emrys had learned till now, the theory said that the presence of Abyssals in Spiritarium should have been impossible.

Not to mention the fact that Abyssals rarely had the ability to affect Soul Cultivators, they could easily be killed by even weak Soul Masters. After all, a Soul Master’s soul is generally exceptionally strong while an Abyssal’s soul is not.

Emrys could not understand how and why an Abyssal appeared here, in this universe.

Moreover, from the aura he was sensing, this Abyssal was compared to a Celestial Spirit Soul Master.

Although it could be killed by a Mystical Mist Soul Master as well, Emrys doubted Soul Masters below Mystical Mist Soul Master could do any harm to it.

It is not because this Abyssal was very strong, it is because its soul was strong for some unknown reason.

Emrys’s curiosity intensified and he decided to see what was happening there. Instead of flying, he directly teleported there.

"It’s them!"

The instant Emrys appeared he was shocked to see three familiar figures kneeling on the ground. They were struggling to stand up but were unable to even move their fingers, and it was all due to the pressure erupting from an angered monsterous creature not far away from them.

That creature was the Abyssal, the source of abyssal energy he had sensed and seen earlier.

"What are they doing here? And... How did they even come here?"

Emrys didn’t pay attention to the abyssal at the moment. Instead, he was surprised to find Andrea, Laura, and Caruso in the Celestial Horizon.

These three people were obviously not yet the Glowing Golden Star Soul Master, so it sould have been impossible for them to sense door that can lead to the Celestial Horizon.

The question now was, how did they even come here?

"Those fruits..."

When Emrys’s gaze fell on three pure blue fruits, his eyes lit up. Just from the fruit’s presence, he could feel tremble in his Soul Force, as if his Soul Force was excited to see these fruits.

"What are these fruits?"

This was the first time Emrys was seeing such fruits that can excite a Soul Master’s Soul Force directly. It must be a treasure.

While Emrys understood that those three fruits must be valuable treasures, he didn’t look at them for long and finally shifted his attention to the abyssal.
