Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 76: Ch 76: Intermediate Silver Soul Master

Emrys was excited; after all, he had found a shortcut to level up. He could directly increase his cultivation by killing these red creatures, and possibly others as well.

However, he failed to notice a very minuscule detail. As he killed the red creatures, a small ’X’ mark appeared on his forehead. This mark was red, and ominous energy flashed on it for a moment before disappearing.

Emrys was completely unaware that something menacing had already marked him, and he was about to encounter a catastrophe.

Just as Emrys’s heart was filled with excitement, a giant tree that was standing tall in the middle of the village suddenly trembled violently. In just a few seconds, the roots of the tree lifted up, causing dust and dirt to fly everywhere. In the midst of the dust and dirt, a giant red creature crawled out and roared at Emrys.

"Roar!"

This red creature had been buried underground for an unknown period of time. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding air was filled with gloomy aura.

Emrys frowned. He could see four circle patterns in this creature’s eyes, but the fourth pattern was dimmer. Obviously, this creature had advanced not long ago.

"Flying Blade Skill!"

Emrys did not hesitate to slash at the giant red creature. The shadow of a blade slashed at it with terrifying force.

However...

"Clang!"

The aggressive blade landed on the creature’s body, but it was as if it had hit a solid wall. Only the sound of metal hitting metal echoed in the surroundings. The hand that was holding the blade trembled continuously, obviously the aftereffect of the collision.

This blade strike did not kill the giant red creature, but it also caused it to suffer pain.

"Roar!"

The red creature was extremely angry. It waved its two arms wildly, creating terrifying gusts of wind, and fiercely whipped Emrys’s body.

From the previous attack, Emrys understood that this creature’s physical body was stronger than his. If he wanted to kill this giant red creature, he at least needed to find a way to injure it.

With this thought in mind, Emrys did not hesitate. He immediately connected his senses to the bead and tried to control the fog. At first, he was hesitant, thinking he might encounter obstacles in controlling the fog, but to his surprise, it was extremely easy. He realized he had been overreacting.

This time, Emrys once again unleashed the Flying Blade Skill. He not only utilized the fog but also his Soul Force. This attack was unleashed by the combination of two energy, and perhaps this is why the result was horrifying.

Unlike the previous few attempts, a strong gust of wind was produced from his blade. In the next moment, a gigantic blade materialized in midair and slashed downward. As the blade descended, a horrifying pressure swept over, causing small red creatures to kneel due to pressure. Their hearts were filled with fear.

"Roar!"

The giant red creature roared at the blade. It jumped high in the air and punched at the blade.

"BANG!"

Emrys was horrified.

The instant the red creature’s punch collided with the gigantic blade, a strong shockwave was produced that actually caused the entire village’s ground to collapse. Countless houses collapsed, revealing a stretch of white bones within the damaged houses. It was unknown how many creatures or maybe people died in this village.

As for the red creature, it was already cut in half, dying. It was not just the giant red creature, even the other red creatures were killed by the aftereffects of the attack.

Emrys was shocked to see the revealed bones. His attention was attracted to the bones so did not notice a large amount of energy rushing at him rapidly. In an instant, they influx inside Emrys like a pouring rain.

Emrys was stunned for a second before coming back to senses. He sat down cross-legged on the spot and started circulating the Sacred Soul Purification Technique.

The foreign energy went inside the bead, while the soul force entered his Soul River.

Due to the Sacred Soul Purification Technique, these Soul Forces were purified into becoming clearer and denser before they truly entered his Soul Force.

Immediately, the Soul River started expanding as the amount of Soul Force increased. In just a short while, it reached a certain point, and then, "bang," the Soul River suddenly surged. It continued for a full minute before finally stopping.

Just like that, Emrys became an Intermediate Silver Soul Master.

"As expected!"

Emrys was overjoyed. He opened his eyes and clenched his fist. This land was truly a shortcut for him to increase his strength. Most importantly, he could not underestimate the foreign energy within his body. He had no idea what that fog truly was, but it was undoubtedly incredible.

Emrys again failed to notice, but the ’X’ mark on his forehead had become darker and bigger. It was terrifying just to look at.

Standing up, Emrys walked towards the deep pit revealed from the earlier collision. He was curious about the bones.

However, just as he reached the corner of the pit, an arm suddenly drilled out from the muddy soil and extended towards Emrys.

"F*ck!"

Emrys’s eyes widened as he hurriedly jumped back in fright.

The arm did not chase after Emrys, instead, it suddenly shattered into pieces. Wisps of black energy flew out of the shattered arm and dispersed in every direction.

"Umm... What was that?"

At first, Emrys thought that a new trouble had made its appearance in front of him. But the wisps of black energy dissipated as soon as it appeared, leaving Emrys bewildered.

However, just as Emrys was about to take a look at the pit again, everything around him was suddenly covered by a black fog. It was so misty that he could not see the direction ahead clearly.

A few black pillars of light shot up into the sky and pierced the clouds. Behind these pillars was a powerful giant red creature, and behind each of these giant red creatures, there were thousands of smaller red creatures.

"Where did these creatures suddenly come from?"

Emrys frowned deeply and retreated a few steps. His heart started trembling. There were a total of ten black pillars of light, each guarded by a giant red creature. In other words, there were ten giant red creatures. As for the smaller red creatures, counting them was impossible. Together, there were at least a few million of them.

These creatures all possessed different strengths. Some had two circle patterns in their eyes, while others had three. The giant red creatures had four circle patterns in their eyes.
