Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 307: Ch 307: The Reason For Rejection

Lu Moyu struggled to stand. His body shook, and his soul felt weak. In fact, he felt like his body, which was actually not his to begin with, was cracking from everywhere.

The guardian no longer moved, but its red eyes were glowing coldly.

Emrys felt dizzy. The pain from Lu Moyu’s soul was affecting him too. He tried to focus, but darkness kept pulling him in.

Lu Moyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His hands clenched into fists. He wanted to fight, but he knew he was not strong enough to go against the guardian. The guardian was too powerful.

Back then, when he was still the ruler of Abyss, the guardian was nowhere to be seen. Even when the abyss was destroyed completely, swallowed by a dragon-like mouth, devoured by Ling Xiaolong, the guardian never appeared.

Every Abyss has a king and a guardian.

Normally, a king is the true ruler of an abyss. However, in the absence of a king, a guardian has the final say.

Abyss is the name of a dark cosmic field. However, this does not mean there is only one Abyss. Countless Abysses exist within the Vast Expanse of Eternity. What makes the Abyss unique is that all Abysses are interconnected.

When an Abyssal ascends in rank, gains the approval of the Tree of Abyss, and becomes a King of Abyss, their name is recorded in the Book of Abyss. As long as an Abyss remains and a King is still alive, they can reclaim their rank at any time.

Additionally, every Guardian—regardless of which Abyss they belong to—is duty-bound to support the King. If a Guardian refuses, they will face punishment from the Great Abyss.

However, there are cases when the Guardian can refuse. But those are extreme cases and do not happen often.

Lu Moyu had lived for tens of billions of years as an Abyssal, yet he had only seen a Guardian take action once. A Guardian’s strength was said to be boundless. Lu Moyu could never forget the moment when a Guardian wiped out three Kings of Abyss with a single strike, erasing their names from the Book of Abyss simultaneously.

He just never expected a Guardian to reject him as well. He could not understand why the Guardian was rejecting him.

The guardian took a step forward. The air became heavier in an instant. Lu Moyu’s body froze again. He could not move. The cave trembled again. The dark mist moved wildly. The divine runes in the cave flickered weakly, unable to stop the abyssal force.

The Guardian arrived in front of Lu Moyu, and said: "You were the King of Abyss, but you are nothing more than an imprisoned soul now."

It then extended its shadowy hand and pointed at Emrys’s chest, saying, "I don’t know the reason, but it must be due to this body that the Abyss is in turmoil. You have yet to activate the Archway and open the gate to the abyss, but the Abyss is already experiencing some unknown changes. I don’t know what will happen when you enter Abyss with this body. So, before you solve the problem of this body, you are not welcome to Abyss. Now, leave or be destroyed."

Not only Lu Moyu but even Emrys was stunned. They never expected this to be the reason for rejection.

What is so special about his body?

Emrys frowned, but then sneered inwardly. He thought the guardian must have seen it wrong. How can the Abyss react to his body? It is not like he is an abyssal.

In fact, the traces of Abyss present inside his body came from Lu Moyu. Abyss reacting to his body doesn’t make sense at all.

But there was nothing he could do or say at this moment. He was like a silent observer, looking at the things happening from afar.

Lu Moyu gritted his teeth. His eyes were full of unwillingness. He had come so far. He could not give up now. But deep inside, he knew that if he dared to stay, he would be killed by the Guardian.

The Guardian had not killed him directly, which must be due to his contributions to the Abyss in the long river of history. He was rejected just now because of Emrys’s body.

Immediately, he tried to scan the body, trying to find the problem. Why would Abyss react to this body? Why would the Abyss have gone into turmoil just because he was about to open the gate to the Abyss?

He could not understand.

Even after trying to find the problem for a long time, Lu Moyu failed.

In the end, Lu Moyu sighed.

With great effort, he forced his body to move. Then he turned toward the Archway to take a last look. He was unwilling to leave, but he could not do anything at this moment. He knew he had to leave.

Then, with great effort, he turned around and walked out of the cave slowly.

The dark mist inside the cave moved slowly. Now, it was settling down. The cave trembled less, but the air was still heavy inside.

Outside, Lu Moyu clenched his fists. He hated this feeling of being powerless. But there was nothing he could do now.

Inside the red space, Emrys suddenly stood up. If someone were to look into his golden eyes, they would find his gaze deep and cold.

"It is time to take back my body," Emrys muttered inwardly.

A sneer appeared on his face. He could not help but think that Lu Moyu was pathetic. Even after scanning his body for a long time to find the problem, Lu Moyu had not even realized his body was no longer human. His race had changed a long time ago.

He was now a symbiosis.

His body still looked like a human’s, but he was something else. He was completely different from a human.

Maybe this was why the Abyss reacted to him. Maybe this was why the Guardian rejected Lu Moyu.

Emrys was not sure. He could only make guesses.

But in the end, it didn’t matter.

Right now, he only cares about one thing, and that is to take back his body from Lu Moyu and devour Lu Moyu’s soul.
