Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 296: Ch 296: Lin Hao: The Temporal Emperor

Gerald Frendis, the ruler of God Soul Tower, took a deep breath. He could feel Elysia’s monstrous strength just from traces of her aura. Not to mention, he just suffered from the pressure exuded by Elysia. He knew he was no match for her. If she wants, she could crush him immediately.

The fact that he was one of the strongest being in Spiritarium yet Elysia’s aura alone was enough to threaten his life was enough to show her strength.

He knew she was not someone he could afford to offend. It is better to create a friendly relationship with her instead of provoking her.

Thinking of several things in the shortest time, Gerald knew he had to answer her question. Without wasting any more time, he answered weakly, "I... It all started fifty million years ago. Fifty million years ago, this universe was no different from other universes in Spiritarium. No one could ascend even after cultivating to the limit because there was no Ascension Gate."

"And then... He appeared!"

Saying this, he paused, as if he was recalling something, or maybe a face he could never forget.

Elysia had no expression. Emrys, on the other hand, frowned. He knew Gerald must be talking about the "Exception" of his time.

As expected, his guess was right.

"No one knows where he came from, however, his coming brought disasters to all who stood against him. We both were from Soul Dust Star. However, by the time we cultivated to the Glowing Golden Star Realm, he offended a Soul Master at the Celestial Spirit Realm. This brought a series of disasters one after another, and our world, Soul Dust Star was destroyed. Only a few people, including myself, were able to escape."

"It was also at that time I came in contact with a creature of an entirely different nature. That creature was an abyssal. It was then I came in contact with Abyss for the first time."

"Who was that person?"

Before Gerald could go deeper into his story, Emrys asked. He really wanted to know one or two things about that person.

Gerald paused and looked at Emrys before shifting his gaze to Elysia, whose face remained expressionless. Then, he said, "His true name was Lin Hao. He awakened two Soul Marks. One was a Time-attributed Soul Mark, and the other was a Weapon Soul Mark. As he rose to fame, countless people got to know him. Later, people bestowed upon him a title. He became known as the Chrono Sovereign."

Chrono Sovereign?

Emrys was startled. He suddenly recalled something and took out a tablet. This was the Celestial Jade Tablet that he won in the auction house.

It was during that time Emrys learned that according to the legends, it is said that the power of time itself flowed through Chrono Sovereign’s veins. Chrono Sovereign possessed abilities that could alter, freeze, accelerate, and even rewind time within a specific area. With a mere thought, he could freeze an entire battlefield, leaving his enemies suspended in a frozen moment while he moved freely. He could also glimpse into the future or the past. One of his most fearsome techniques was called "Temporal Severance" which can sever a target’s existence from the present timeline, erasing them as if they had never existed.

However, despite his immense power, one day, Chrono Sovereign vanished mysteriously.

Since then, no one has seen Chrono Sovereign, and no second person awakened a Soul Mark with the "Time Attribute".

He didn’t expect Chrono Sovereign to be born in Gerald’s Era, which was fifty million years ago.

The Celestial Jade Tablet in his hand is said to be capable of manipulating the flow of time within a small radius. This allows the user to experience a time dilation effect, where one hour inside the tablet’s influence may equal several hours or even days outside.

Elysia noticed the tablet in Emrys’s hand but didn’t do much. Instead, her focus was somewhere else.

"It is him!"

For the first time, Elysia showed a different expression. She seemed to know this person.

Emrys was surprised. He raised his brows and asked, "Do you know him?"

Elysia nodded in response and explained, "He is an extraordinary man. I have never met anyone like him. However, his story did not begin fifty million years ago, nor does he originate from this universe. He is an ancient being, a top figure even in the Vast Expanse of Eternity. The Lin Hao born in this universe must be one of his reincarnations."

"A reincarnation?"

It wasn’t just Emrys, even Gerald was shocked.

Simultaneously, Gerald also noted key words: Vast Expanse of Eternity!

He had no idea what this eternity was, but he had never heard of this place before.

Elysia nodded and said, "Lin Hao has many names and titles. Chrono Sovereign is just one of them. He is also known as Time Sovereign, Sword Emperor, The Conqueror, and more. However, the most renowned of them all is Temporal Emperor."

Temporal Emperor?

No one can define how shocked Emrys was at this moment.

How can he not know about the Temporal Emperor?

While he was immersed in the state of enlightenment after the Timeless Enlightenment Seed sprouted, he seemed to have lived the life of another person. That person’s name was Lu Moyu.

It was then he obtained a few core information. One of them was about the Spatial Disk which provided him the Authority of Space. That Spatial Disk was first obtained by Lu Moyu from a trial ground. And that trial ground was set by the Temporal Emperor.

Later, after regaining his senses and going through a huge transformation where his physique, bloodline, and even Soul Marks were replaced entirely, Emrys thought about Lu Moyu’s life. He recalled that at that time, he, who was living as Lu Moyu, jumped into a vortex leading directly into the Abyss.

From this, he guessed that the foreign soul that provided him with the Soul Mark called the Lord of the Cursed Abyss, which gave him the ability to absorb and manipulate three different attributes: Curse, Darkness, and Abyss.

As for how he ended up fusing with a portion of Lu Moyu’s soul or why Lu Moyu possessed his body for a short period of time in the fragmented Cosmic World, he doesn’t know!
