Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 82: Ch 82: Dark River

The man controlling Emrys’s body opened the backpack and his eyes immediately lit up. He took out all the Elite Green Soul Orbs and dumped them on the ground. "I was worried I might have to find a different way to awaken my Soul Mark."

Taking a deep breath, he muttered, "It seems this backpack belonged to the original owner of this body. Fortunately, I found it and now I can start the process of awakening my Soul Mark immediately."

Ignoring the nine giant red creatures, who remained immobilized, unable to make any movement because of the restriction, the man walked a few meters away. He then cut open his finger and began drawing a pattern on the ground with his blood. As the pattern neared completion, the dark mist began swirling around him, carrying demonic auras.

When the blood pattern was fully drawn on the ground, the man placed all the Elite Green Soul Orbs on the smaller circular patterns around it. He then sat in the center of the pattern, assuming a cultivation posture, and activated the formation. The pattern glowed with a bloody light, producing a bloody mist that spread throughout the surroundings.

Then he darted his gaze on the Green Soul Orbs. As he did so, a dark mist materialized out of nowhere and enveloped one of the orbs entirely.

Time passed second by second. After a few seconds, the mist started dissipating.

As the mist dissipated, the soul orb also vanished. It was as if the Soul Orb was swallowed by the dark mist. The same process is repeated with the other soul orbs as well. One by one, the Elite Green Soul Orbs disappeared in the same manner, consumed by the dark mist that responded to the man’s will.

A bizarre change started happening inside Emrys’s body. His Soul River surged with overwhelming Soul Force, of course, this Soul Force was completely within the control of the man controlling Emrys’s body.

Slowly, the dark mist started swirling around Emrys’s body. As if it was alive, it started taking shape. The process was not too fast, but it was not too slow either. Very soon, a dark river materialized in front of Emrys.

BOOM!

As the dark river materialized, an explosion occurred inside Emrys’s Soul River. The Soul River was stirred greatly, as if facing a great enemy that wanted to invade its territory.

"Calm down!"

The man’s hoarse voice rang in the air, and the Soul River was immediately suppressed.

In the end, the man’s soul belonged to an extremely powerful individual. In front of his soul, the Soul River was too weak to go out of control.

The man then laid his eyes on the Dark River in front of him, and as if willed by him, the dark river started pouring inside Emrys’s body. The body was not the dwelling the Dark River was looking for, so it invaded the space within Emrys’s body where the Soul River was located and positioned itself parallel to the Soul River.

The Soul River was below while the Dark River was above. The two did not intersect and kept a safe distance from each other.

But the process was far from ending here.

Suddenly, a painting materialized inside the Dark River. The painting was embroidered with thousands of bizarre faces. Each of these faces had different shapes and sizes, but one thing about them was common, their eyes were closed.

But not for long!

Shua!

The faces suddenly opened their eyes, their eyes appeared to be the eyes of devils, filled with devilish light. Their pupils were completely red.

As they opened their eyes, their gazes seemed to pierce through the boundary of Dark River and directly fixated on the man’s soul.

Although the man’s soul was very strong, to the extent where its strength cannot be measured, at least not currently, the feeling of being stared at by so many devilish eyes was still tangible. He felt as if he was not being stared at by these faces, but was being touched by them. For a moment, he could feel a chill running down his spine.

"Damn, why are these bastards out? I’d clearly sealed them within my soul."

The man’s expression suddenly changed, replaced by a fiendish look. Although he did not know where the problem occurred and how these faces were released, it was clear that they were not easy to deal with. Otherwise, he would not have shown such an expression.

"At least, they seemed to be restricted within the Dark River. At least for now, there should not be any complication for me to deal with."

Ignoring the devilish faces, the man withdrew his senses from the Dark River and gradually immersed himself in cultivation. He was in the midst of awakening his own Soul Mark, and he could not afford to be distracted.

Currently, all the muscles and bones in Emrys’s body were trembling, producing the noise of metal clashing. His pores opened up and a layer of dark red filth that was like fatty oil was expelled. In the next moment, he felt that he had broken through a barrier. It was as if his entire body had broken free from some sort of restraint, and he had endless strength.

It was as if he could punch a giant hole in the stone wall of the room if he wanted.

.....

While the man was immersed in the process of awakening his Soul Mark, somewhere within this dark mountain range, there was a valley surrounded by dark forest.

In the sky above this valley, a dense, fiendish aura pressed down like a dark cloud. It was dark and almost suffocating. The ground was shaking uneasily. From time to time, the terrifying roars of the vicious beasts echo in the air.

Halfway up the mountain, there was a layer of flickering red light. As the light grew dimmer and dimmer, the infernal energy in the sky became increasingly thick. The cold wind blew in all directions, as if a storm was about to be stirred up.

At the same time, a few people could be seen in this valley, rushing over.

Cheng Yun, Ming Su, Feng Yu, and Han Chen were led by Lin Shu. Lin Shu’s team moved quickly through the forest, using their fastest speed to rush towards somewhere.

Everyone’s face on the team was full of seriousness. Even if the majority of the people didn’t know the inside story, they knew the reason for their arrival in this hellish space. Everyone had only one goal to accomplish after coming here and to achieve that goal, they were ready to put their lives on the line.

As for now, their faces were grim for some reason. It was as if something horrible had happened or was about to happen.

Everyone understood that what was about to happen was no small matter. They all had shocked and fearful expressions.

"Senior Lin, is there any other way to deal with that fiendish demon?"

Cheng Yun’s gaze was fixated on Lin Shu as he asked.

"Don’t even think about that fiendish demon. Once you meet the fiendish demon, there’s only death waiting for you."

"If senior is able to help, I will do my best to find you that herb you need."

"Oh?" Lin Shu pretended to be shocked and said indifferently: "Could it be that if I’m not willing to help, you won’t help me find that herb?"

"No, no. That’s not what I meant." Cheng Yun immediately waved his hand and explained, "It’s just that it’s related to hundreds of people who entered this space. That fiendish demon is nothing but death for everyone. I hope Senior Lin can tell us if you have any idea how to deal with that demon. This way, we can save all the people, and of course, the credit will go to senior Lin."

Han Chen also agreed. He said, "Senior, please. With how powerful and intelligent you are, you must have a way to take care of that fiendish demon, right?"

Lin Shu thought for a while and said, "I won’t do anything, but I can teach you guys how to defeat that fiendish demon."

"Really? What is it?" Not only Han Chen and Cheng Yun, but the other two were also ecstatic at this moment.

"After that demon breaks through the seal, its vitality will definitely be greatly damaged. At that time, the first thing it would do is to find and fuse with the evil spirit that escaped from its grasp earlier because of us. This way, he would be able to recover his vitality in an instant. And all you have to do is, before this happens, capture that evil spirit. As long as the evil spirit is captured, no matter how strong the fiendish demon is, it can’t stay lawless and do anything to us."

"Evil Spirit?" Han Chen frowned and asked puzzledly, "But where could we find the evil spirit? It has already escaped after all."

"I’m really tired of talking so much," Lin Shu coldly looked at Han Chen and said. "Do not ask anything anymore. Look at those black pillars of light shooting into the sky. We have to reach there first and investigate the situation. Also, be careful, for we are already in the territories of demons born from the blood of that fiendish demon when it was still in its peak state."
