Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 359: Ch 359: Death

Emrys no longer continued fighting. He stopped for a few minutes to sort out all the memories.

Now that he has reached the true peak of Spiritarium, he doesn’t know how to continue cultivating his soul. Hell, he didn’t even know what realm is beyond Supreme Sovereign Soul Master.

In the end, a realization struck him that he could no longer cultivate his soul unless he first acquired information about Soul Cultivation above the Supreme Sovereign Realm. Without that crucial knowledge, it was like walking in a boundless fog with no direction. There was no path forward.

For him, everything past the Supreme Sovereign Soul Master realm was a mystery.

"The inheritance of an ancient Spiritas!"

Suddenly, Emrys thought about the inheritance site.

When he first got to know that an inheritance site was hidden somewhere under the dark desert, and the path that could lead to that inheritance site was the massive skeleton of Dark Dragon Soul Beast, Emrys didn’t have any reaction. In his eyes, that inheritance was not as important as obtaining the Key, because the key was something given by Ling Xiaolong.

However, it was only now that he realized how wrong he was.

Since that inheritance was left behind by an ancient Spiritas, it’s likely he would know about soul cultivation that comes after the Supreme Sovereign Realm. He would have likely found a soul cultivation method or at least some crucial information that could have given him an idea of how to proceed next.

However, because he thought the inheritance was not that important, he ignored it.

Only now did he realize how stupid that decision was.

"I have to go back!"

Emrys knew he had to go back and enter the inheritance site. Till then, he could no longer devour the souls of Kings.

Just then, Emrys felt someone was watching him very deeply.

He immediately turned his gaze in a certain direction, and his gaze collided with the World Master Demon who had been observing him and the deformed sword in his hand.

The moment their eyes met, a pressure, unlike any King’s, surged out from the World Master Demon’s body.

Emrys’s pupils shrank.

A terrifying pressure erupted from the World Master Demon like a collapsing mountain. Space trembled, and the battlefield fell into a moment of silence in Emrys’s eyes. The sky dimmed as if the presence of this being alone was enough to oppress everything in the surroundings.

All the Kings were stunned, not expecting a World Master demon to mingle among Kings and hide till now.

Demons are indeed despicable creatures.

However, that doesn’t matter. This is the battlefield, and everyone has to stay alert all the time. After all, no one knows who would die next.

The next moment, the demon vanished.

No one could see when or how he moved. Only the space where he had stood just a breath ago had collapsed in on itself as his figure disappeared.

BOOM!

The air exploded as the World Master Demon materialized right in front of Emrys.

Too fast!

The demon was too fast.

Before Emrys could even react, the demon’s massive fist, wrapped in blazing demonic energy, surged with annihilation power as it crashed into Emrys’s chest with earth-shattering force.

The shockwave alone flattened the terrain in tens of miles radius.

CRACK—BOOM!!

Emrys’s bones shattered instantly and flesh ruptured. His chest caved in violently as he spewed out blood from his mouth in a thick mist. The world blurred in red in his eyes for a moment.

But...

Click!

At the same moment, a cold glint pierced the air.

Despite reacting a second or two later, Emrys had thrust the deformed blade upward with terrifying precision. It sliced through the demon’s enchanted chest plate and drove directly into the heart of the World Master Demon.

"Wh... what...?" the Demon gasped in disbelief. His confident expression immediately twisted into that of terror.

When he attacked previously, he had been absolutely sure that Emrys, who is not even a King yet, wouldn’t have had the time to use the Abyssal Weapon before he could kill him, much less land a hit.

A full-powered strike from a Ninth-level World Master should have vaporized Emrys before Emrys could even lift his hand.

But something seems to have gone wrong. Emrys’s physique was slightly more powerful, and he was able to guard against his attack for a few seconds.

And this extremely short time was enough for Emrys to react. He not only used the deformed blade, he even buried the blade in the demon’s heart.

This was totally out of the demon’s calculation.

Worse, the deformed blade actually started to tremble.

VRRRMMM!!

A low hum rang out as the deformed sword let out a sharp screech that echoed in the air like a cry from the abyss itself.

And then, the blade erupted with a monstrous devouring force.

Dark tendrils of energy surged out from the weapon, coiling around the World Master Demon’s heart and soul. It felt as though his essence was being pulled into the sword, ripped apart from within. His knees gave way.

"NO...."

The World Master Demon roared in fright and struggled with all his strength to resist, but the deformed sword didn’t buzz at all.

He knew he had made a grave mistake. But by then, it was already too late.

On the other side, Emrys’s body which was already broken from the blow had reached its limit. The force of the punch was simply too much.

He was powerful, yes.

His body was refined with both Soul Force and Cosmic Energy. But no matter how monstrous he was, he had not yet entered the King Realm.

BOOM!

Emrys’s body exploded into a blood mist.

The raw destructive power of a World Master-level strike had completely obliterated him.

There was no scream, no time to react, and no final stand. If there was anything, then it was just death.

Emrys tasted death the second time.

The first time was when his soul transmigrated and possessed EMRYS’s body.

This time, however, his death was terrible.

He died right there on the battlefield without leaving behind even a trace of his body. Even the blood evaporated in the air.

He died even before he could take away the deformed sword, leaving it behind in the vast Cosmic Battlefield.

The deformed sword that was still lodged in the demon’s chest howled like a beast unchained. Even without a wielder, it continued pulling the demon’s essence into itself with ferocity beyond reason.

The World Master Demon let out a final scream of agony as his body crumbled, disintegrating from within. His flesh and soul were completely consumed by the Abyssal Weapon.
