Chapter 38: Ch 38: The Twelfth Pillar
"I'll go as well!"
Emrys glanced at Rohan and Cairo. After he spoke to them, he leaped up in the direction of the pillars.
Rohan and Cairo exchanged surprised glances. They hadn't anticipated that Emrys would also choose to ascend the pillars.
It was not just them, but everyone looking at him was surprised.
"Is he going to climb a pillar as well? Does he want to follow Number 11's example and kick a person out of the pillar?" someone exclaimed from the crowd.
"Who does he think he is? He doesn't have the ability to endure the pressure and climb the pillar. He will soon be sent flying by the pressure, just wait. He is simply courting death by wanting to climb the pillar!" Another bystander uttered.
"Wait a minute. Everyone, did you notice that Number 17's strength seemed to have regressed? He was an Advanced Bronze Soul Master, but now he is only an Elementary Bronze Soul Master. What is going on?"
"Now that you say it, it is indeed the case. What happened?"
"Whatever might be the case, in his current state, he is thinking of climbing the pillar. Is he not afraid of death."
Everyone thought that Emrys was courting death. The price of such an abrupt action could be his life.
Everyone began to discuss their opinions and seemed to agree that Emrys acted recklessly.
"Can Emrys really do it?"
Cairo clenched his fists tightly. He had a concerned look on his face. He knew what kind of risk facing the pillars bear. If one couldn't withstand the force, one would lose their life.
On the other hand, Rohan was also not confident in Emrys.
"Is he going in the wrong direction?"
Everyone was focused on Emrys and was surprised to find that he wasn't heading towards the pillars with people on them. He was actually going towards the tallest pillar, the twelfth pillar.
This scene horrified everyone.
"Number 17 must be courting death. Number 11, who is much more powerful than Number 17, almost lost his life on the eleventh pillar. And here, Number 17 is actually aiming for the twelfth pillar. He has gone crazy."
Many people were puzzled and thought Emrys had gone mad. Emrys had given them the feeling that he was seeking his own death. Not everyone could dare go to the twelfth pillar.
However, at that moment, it was obvious that Emrys was aiming at the tallest pillar.
Emrys didn't have time to pay attention to the comments of the crowd. As he got nearer to the flowing water of the Lion Falls, he could feel the waves of water.
A strange sound rang out. Not a moment later, the falling water of the Lion Falls released a strange force that turned into a powerful storm. The storm surged and tried to wrap Emrys's body. In an instant, the force tore through his clothes, and blood seeped from them.
'Damn, this force is so powerful!'
Emrys was shocked, but he did not stop. He advanced with great difficulty.
In the end, he thought of something and stopped resisting. Instead, he used Node Shift to directly appear on top of the twelfth pillar, shocking the crowd.
"It seems this guy does have some tricks."
"How did he do it?"
"Looks like Number 17's movement skill has improved a lot. I did not even sense how he suddenly appeared on top of the twelfth pillar. It seems we can't underestimate him."
"He actually did it."
When everyone saw Emrys suddenly disappearing and reappearing on the twelfth pillar, everyone was in awe. Number 17 was famous for his movement skill, so everyone only thought that Emrys had used a movement skill to climb the pillar in an instant.
"It seems like although Number 17 is arrogant, he still has a certain level of strength. I'm just perplexed as to why his cultivation has regressed," someone said.
On the other hand, just as Emrys appeared on the twelfth pillar, a terrifying force attacked him. A resolute light flashed in Emrys's eyes. He knew enduring the terrifying force with his strength alone was impossible. There is no way he can endure this force that is enough to even kill a Silver Soul Master.
The twelfth pillar was indeed terrifying.
But he has an idea in mind.
The force formed by the flowing water of the Lion Falls was terrifying. It was also filled with strange rhythms. This rhythm's effect can bring Emrys tremendous benefits. However, he has to first endure the hellish attack.
As the terrifying force attacked him, Emrys gritted his teeth and held on. The terrifying force kept pressing down on Emrys's body, causing more and more wounds to appear. Very soon, blood dyed his clothes. It was an extremely tragic scene to watch.
"This guy really wants to die!"
Everyone continued to watch with their hearts beating crazily. They had never seen someone as crazy as Emrys. He clearly couldn't bear it, but he still insisted on holding with his life on the line.
"Emrys!"
Cairo and Rohan called out his name and looked nervous. Emrys's madness had greatly exceeded their expectations. He was definitely a crazy man who would do anything to increase his strength.
At this point, both of them admitted that they were far inferior to Emrys in every term.
For the second time, Rohan felt that he didn't know this Emrys. The previous Emrys was also persistent and stubborn, but he was not mad and crazy. Just what happened during this time that brought so many changes to Emrys?
Rohan sighed and shook his head.
"Roar!"
Emrys's body was bathed in blood, and he let out an earth-shaking roar. A powerful Soul Force burst out from his body. It was also at this time, the Multicolored Orb hidden deep within his soul trembled and immediately sucked the terrifying force attacking him.
Emrys took a deep breath and without wasting time, he sat down cross-legged.
Actually, although the Multicolored Orb was hidden within his soul and provided him great help all this time, it was not under Emrys's control. So, Emrys could not manipulate or use it as he wished.
Previously, he stopped the Multicolored Orb from absorbing the strange energy with his soul force. Due to that, the multicolored orb calmed down and it stopped reacting.
Emrys endured that hellish force just to make the Multicolored Orb sense the strange energy and react again. He was not sure, but other than this method, he had no idea how to awaken the Multicolored Orb again.
Fortunately, although he was injured heavily, his plan worked.
Now that the Multicolored Orb has reacted, it started actively absorbing the strange energy filling the entire Lion Falls.
